An Interview With 'Secret' Creator Rhonda Byrne
30/06/07 09:09 PM Filed in: Law of
Attraction
Rhonda
Byrne, the creator of "The Secret,"
answered questions submitted by The
Associated Press in e-mail. Excerpts from
her answers:
___
On whether she is surprised by the book and DVD's massive popularity:
I am not surprised with the success of "The Secret" because it couldn't have happened without me first getting to a point within myself of knowing it was done. That is "The Secret."
However, I stand in awe at the magnificent intelligence that is this universe, as I watch it fulfill the intention of joy for billions that I held deep within my heart. Every day, I experience the deepest gratitude for all the joy that "The Secret" is bringing to so many.
___
Regarding criticism that the principles behind "The Secret," taken to their extreme, can lead to a "blame the victim" mentality:
I can see why this is a difficult concept to understand. However, when we shift our awareness or "frequency" from self-consciousness — where fear, impossibility or feelings of separation reside — to cosmic consciousness, which is in total harmony with the universe and where none of those feelings exist, then anything is possible.
"The Secret's" message is to empower people. Its message releases people from feeling like victims and gives them the knowledge to intentionally create their lives the way they want. ...
"The Secret's" message is to let go of all blame because it only destroys you, and to move forward with hope, love, compassion, and kindness. Those are the emotions that will completely transform your life into joy. And so ultimately each one of us has a choice.
___
On how "The Secret" applies to events in which massive numbers of people died, such as the Holocaust, and whether such tragedies fall under the law of attraction she espouses:
Tragedies on the scale of the Holocaust defy understanding for most people. ...
In responding to the question about events where massive numbers of people are killed, there are a few important points to consider. First, there is no one to blame.
Secondly, the law of attraction is absolute; it is impersonal and it is precise and exact. This law governs this reciprocal universe that we live in. It is important to remember that we are energy.Einstein told us that. And energy cannot be created or destroyed, it just changes form.
The energy and life of each of us has always been and will always be.In a large-scale tragedy, like 9/11, Hurricane Katrina, etc. we see that the law of attraction responds to people being at the wrong place at the wrong time because their dominant thoughts were on the same frequency of such events.
Now, this doesn't mean that they thought of the same exact event, but if their dominant thoughts and feelings were in alignment with the energy of fear, separation, powerlessness and having no control over outside circumstances, then that is what they attracted.
Remember, while many people died in these tragic events, there were also many miraculous stories of survival, and the same can be said about those people whose thoughts were in alignment with the energy of unity, love, oneness and joy with the Universe. It is understanding how the law of attraction applies here that answers your question. ...
Many factors came into play, including mass consciousness of the planet at the time. It is also important to remember that the Holocaust spanned some 6 years, and over that time the energy of the fear escalated, intensified, and spread, reaching many more people. Humanity learned a lot through the Holocaust, and as a race we went from separation and closer to the concept of unity.
___
Responding to one of the most frequent criticisms of "The Secret," that there is a lack of action outlined in the book and the DVD:
The law of attraction says that like attracts like, and when you think and feel what you want to attract on the inside, the law will use people, circumstances and events to magnetize what you want to you, and magnetize you to it.
The law doesn't say, "Oh, he is not taking any action so we won't deliver." The law is the law. It is impersonal, exact, and precise.Become that which you want on the inside, and you shall receive it in the outside world.
The most important action to take is the work within you. When that is done, you will be moved in the outside world to receive what you asked for.
If anybody says that action is required to try it make it happen, then that person does not believe, and believing is essential.
___
Regarding the case of Cathy Goodman, a breast cancer patient who says in the book she was healed in three months without radiation or chemotherapy. Some have asked if Byrne is advocating that people not see doctors when they're ill:
In terms of health, "The Secret" fully supports all forms of healing, and we clearly state that in both the film and the book. Medicine or healing methods are an individual choice, and Cathy Goodman made her choice. When you look at traditional medicine and all that it has accomplished for humankind, you can only feel enormous gratitude and wonder at the incredible breakthroughs and discoveries it has made. Whatever choice anyone makes, they can use "The Secret" within themselves at the same time.

What Are You Really Attracting?
30/06/07 08:45 PM Filed in: Law of
Attraction
Many people
try their hand at the law of attraction
and then give up after putting forward
minimal effort and investing little time,
and then say, “Well, I tried that law of
attraction stuff and it just does not
work. I think it is just a crock of —-.”
However, they fail to realize that they
need to be patient and also that in order
for the law of attraction to work
properly, they will need generate
positive energy.
So, in other words, you may be the reason that the law of attraction techniques you are implementing are not working at their optimum. What does this mean? Well, ask yourself this question, “What am I REALLY attracting?”
If you sit around all day bemoaning everything that you feel is not going your way or is negative in your life, then that is where all your energy is focused. Your are focusing on the negative in life, thereby not giving the positive any chance to flow into your life. You attract whatever it is that you focus on the most in life. This is just the universal law of attraction at work.
So, in order for you to REALLY unleash the full power of the law of attraction, you must focus your energies on the positive. Unfortunately, this is going to be the most difficult part of understanding how the law of attraction works for most people.
The rules of attraction simply state that you will attract the object/s of your focus. If this means overcoming past hurts and negatives in your life, then, by all means, deal with that emotional baggage and let it go. The law of attraction is about being accountable. You are accountable for all the negativity that you allow to hinder your desires. You MUST let go in order for the goals you desire to be within your grasp.
So ask, yourself the question again, “What am I REALLY attracting?”

The Law of Attraction And Family Relationships No Longer A Secret
25/06/07 05:49 PM Filed in: Relationships

Law of
Attraction
Here is a good read on relationships by
Georgie Maddison:
More science… the Law of Attraction and family relationships is no longer a secret. Researchers at Yale University have blown its anonymity.
"… only a small fraction of how people gauge their partners’ responsiveness to their needs is based on what the partners do. Most of it is based on what they themselves do and feel," say Margaret Clark, faculty author and psychology professor, and co-authors Edward Lemay and Brooke Feeney.
“In studies of marriage we’ve found that what people report they do for their partners is a better predictor of what they think their spouse does for them than are the spouse’s own reports of what was done,” they said.
In other words, as proponents of the universal law of attraction have maintained for centuries, and speakers in the movie DVD The Secret re-popularised again last year, you get what you ask for.
If your partner is a louse, odds are you are, too. If s/he is the most caring, inspiring soul alive, s/he's probably second only to you.
Clark calls this 'projection of responsiveness'. In essence, "you see your partner as about as responsive to your welfare as you are to your partner’s welfare, regardless of the partner’s true behavior,” Clark said.
Interestingly, exercise physiologists see parallels in this behavior within the individual. And this may be a whole new tack for relationship counselors to ponder.
If you've ever developed a strong motivation to start exercising, yet seen the drive to actually do it fizzle within days or weeks, you can probably relate to this.
Think also about how your relationship is now compared with how you would like it to be.
The key is separating the notions of 'motivation' and 'drive'.
Motivation is primarily a cognitive, or mental process. You decide you need to exercise. Drive - acting on the decision reached through motivation - is primarily an emotional process. You actually have to do the exercise.
Exercise time comes, you feel a bit down, leave the session until 'tomorrow'… and you know just how long the resolution lasts. Ditto New Year's resolutions, and relationship improvements.
The law of attraction, 'the secret', is to decide what you want, believe you will get it as surely as you get what you order in a restaurant, and then - just as you probably do in a restaurant - accept delivery of that order.
How do you do that? You emotionally pre-live receipt of that order… involving all the relevant senses including salivation.
Now, relate that back to your relationship. What are you asking for, and what expectations are you pre-living?
The Yale researchers said they conducted the studies because "an essential feature of the health and well-being of a mutual communal relationship is believing that one’s partner cares about one’s welfare and will attend and respond to one’s desires, needs, and goals".
"Not only do people who care about their partners perceive that their partners in turn care about them, they become more satisfied with their relationship over time," they said.
So they pre-live the emotions they want from the relationship. In fact, so intensely do we pre-live them, that we make them our normal behavior, with full emotional involvement. We establish our own 'norm', reflecting out the behavior we want in return.
In other words, w e utilize the Law of Attraction.
Be warned, however, that just like the Law of Gravity, the Law of Attraction is neutral. No good, no bad. It just is. Ask and you shall receive. Give out bad vibes, get back bad vibes. Give out good vibes, get back good vibes. Just as the Yale study found.
“Sadly, the flip side is true too,” Clark said. “Those who are uncaring believe their apathy is reciprocated, which undermines their satisfaction.”
Armed with that powerful insight, how are you going to approach your family, your lover, your partner, your workmates next time you see them?
I like that old truism… point your finger at someone else, and notice how many fingers are pointing back at you.
Do you find that terrifying… or exciting? And what are you going to do about it?

Summary Of The Science Of Getting Rich
25/06/07 05:07 PM Filed in: Science
of Getting Rich
I wrote earlier about
The Science of Getting Rich and how
it was the inspiration for Rhonda Byrne's
The Secret. I wanted to share
the last chapter of the book with you. It
summarizes the essence of the book in
just one chapter.
THERE is a thinking stuff from which all things are made, and which, in its
original state, permeates, penetrates, and fills the interspaces of the universe.
A thought in this substance produces the thing that is imaged by the thought.
Man can form things in his thought, and by impressing his thought upon
formless substance can cause the thing he thinks about to be created.
In order to do this, man must pass from the competitive to the creative mind;
otherwise he cannot be in harmony with the Formless Intelligence, which is
always creative and never competitive in spirit.
Man may come into full harmony with the Formless Substance by entertaining a
lively and sincere gratitude for the blessings it bestows upon him. Gratitude
unifies the mind of man with the intelligence of Substance, so that man's
thoughts are received by the Formless. Man can remain upon the creative plane
only by uniting himself with the Formless Intelligence through a deep and
continuous feeling of gratitude.
Man must form a clear and definite mental image of the things he wishes to
have, to do, or to become; and he must hold this mental image in his thoughts,
while being deeply grateful to the Supreme that all his desires are granted to him.
The man who wishes to get rich must spend his leisure hours in contemplating
his Vision, and in earnest thanksgiving that the reality is being given to him. Too
much stress cannot be laid on the importance of frequent contemplation of the
mental image, coupled with unwavering faith and devout gratitude. This is the
process by which the impression is given to the Formless, and the creative forces
set in motion.
The creative energy works through the established channels of natural growth,
and of the industrial and social order. All that is included in his mental image
will surely be brought to the man who follows the instructions given above, and
whose faith does not waver. What he wants will come to him through the ways of
established trade and commerce.
In order to receive his own when it shall come to him, man must be active; and
this activity can only consist in more than filling his present place. He must keep
in mind the Purpose to get rich through the realization of his mental image. And
he must do, every day, all that can be done that day, taking care to do each act in
a successful manner. He must give to every man a use value in excess of the cash
value he receives, so that each transaction makes for more life; and he must so
hold the Advancing Thought that the impression of increase will be
communicated to all with whom he comes in contact.
The men and women who practice the foregoing instructions will certainly get
rich; and the riches they receive will be in exact proportion to the definiteness of
their vision, the fixity of their purpose, the steadiness of their faith, and the
depth of their gratitude.

The Secret In The Matrix
19/06/07 05:44 PM Filed in: Law of
Attraction
I had a bit of a problem falling asleep
last night and I decided to watch The
Matrix. Is an all time favorite movie of
mine. And it just kinda hit me while
watching it there are some really
interesting parts of the movie that
reminded me of The Secret.
It was just some of the lines that the characters say that got me to thinking. More than anyone Morpheus, played by Lawrence Fishburne, had me thinking the most. What they said may not be directly in line with what The Law of Attraction is saying, but it got me thinking nonetheless.
Here are some quotes from the movie that got me to think.
Morpheus: If real is what you can feel, smell, taste and see, then 'real' is simply electrical signals interpreted by your brain
Morpheus: What are you waiting for? You're faster than this. Don't think you are, know you are.
Neo: I thought it wasn't real
Morpheus: Your mind makes it real
Morpheus: Neo, sooner or later you're going to realize just as I did that there's a difference between knowing the path and walking the path.
Morpheus: You have to let it all go, Neo. Fear, doubt, and disbelief. Free your mind.

9 Reasons To Believe In The Law Of Attraction
19/06/07 05:34 PM Filed in: Law of
Attraction
This is an interesting question. I guess
on some level I have thought about it and
know that I do believe in The Law of
Attraction. But I have not really
articulated it in any formal way. I am
going to think about this one some more
and come back to it.
But in the mean time read the post below, which triggered this whole chain of thought:
9 Reasons To Believe In The Law Of Attraction
by Gustav S
Why do I believe the Law of Attraction exists?
There are many reasons I have to believe that the Law of Attraction exists, for me it all started by looking for more information on about HOW can I exploit the laws of the universe for my own good. Here I am resuming what it will be extended in further posts:
1. Humans have a very important gift and that is Imagination, without Imagination the Law of Attraction could not exist. Without Dreams and desires the Law of Attraction could not exist.
2. As soon as I was aware of the Law of Attraction and disciplined myself to believe in it, have faith in it and also order my thoughts, dreams and expectation in the way I want them to happen, I immediately started to receive and SEE the “coincidences” (I would call them synchronicities) when my wishes were in the process of materialization.
3. I further researched in the fields of Remote Viewing and Remote Influencing with almost unbelievable results, what I found was without a doubt that consciousness exists and it is aware of everything in this Universe whether you use that skill or not.
4. I did discover the amazing power of INTENTION, Intention happens even before you are aware that you will intend something. I am very thankful for having discovered this when I was assisting a seminar for a medical product which was able to spot a disease that you will have in the near future.
5. Some actual scientific research in the Quantum field clearly shows that the Law of Attraction is perfectly attainable, because you the one who is looking for something and expecting something will get exactly the same result in the Quantum field as what you expect to see.
6. The movie “The Secret” is the perfect manifestation of what is possible when many “Law of Attraction” expert teachers gather. The Movie “The Secret” was a perfect success out of nowhere with almost no advertising budget. Can you imagine how this could have happened? A Miracle? I would call it Powered Wishes. Skeptics will say that is just viral or word of mouth, well my friend that is just one layer of the process of the law of attraction and you are interested in the lower level where everything starts, your mind.
7. I discovered that when I am grateful, when I let go, when I just trust then whatever I put in my mind it becomes a reality at the right time. For that I use my emotions and feelings, just as it is explained in Abraham-Hicks books, feelings are our GPS in order to know if we are aligned with our wishes and our goals.
8. Since the beginning of my experimentation with the Law of Attraction I have kept a dairy of all the wishes and thoughts I had in mind in order to assess in the future if they have become a reality or not. I can say that up to now almost all have become a reality and I keep doing that in order to keep track of it. If you are reading this blog now is because you are seeing one of my wishes coming true.
9. Creativity is at the very core of each soul, each person. You are driven to create experience. Creativity is also part of your service to the greater whole. As you create, you discover more of who you are through observing your creation. It is the very nature of the soul to be creative, but many of you have forgotten your creativity by believing that the ways in which you can express yourselves are limited to certain jobs, roles, and functions in life.

9 Reasons To Believe In The Law Of Attraction
by Gustav S
Why do I believe the Law of Attraction exists?
There are many reasons I have to believe that the Law of Attraction exists, for me it all started by looking for more information on about HOW can I exploit the laws of the universe for my own good. Here I am resuming what it will be extended in further posts:
1. Humans have a very important gift and that is Imagination, without Imagination the Law of Attraction could not exist. Without Dreams and desires the Law of Attraction could not exist.
2. As soon as I was aware of the Law of Attraction and disciplined myself to believe in it, have faith in it and also order my thoughts, dreams and expectation in the way I want them to happen, I immediately started to receive and SEE the “coincidences” (I would call them synchronicities) when my wishes were in the process of materialization.
3. I further researched in the fields of Remote Viewing and Remote Influencing with almost unbelievable results, what I found was without a doubt that consciousness exists and it is aware of everything in this Universe whether you use that skill or not.
4. I did discover the amazing power of INTENTION, Intention happens even before you are aware that you will intend something. I am very thankful for having discovered this when I was assisting a seminar for a medical product which was able to spot a disease that you will have in the near future.
5. Some actual scientific research in the Quantum field clearly shows that the Law of Attraction is perfectly attainable, because you the one who is looking for something and expecting something will get exactly the same result in the Quantum field as what you expect to see.
6. The movie “The Secret” is the perfect manifestation of what is possible when many “Law of Attraction” expert teachers gather. The Movie “The Secret” was a perfect success out of nowhere with almost no advertising budget. Can you imagine how this could have happened? A Miracle? I would call it Powered Wishes. Skeptics will say that is just viral or word of mouth, well my friend that is just one layer of the process of the law of attraction and you are interested in the lower level where everything starts, your mind.
7. I discovered that when I am grateful, when I let go, when I just trust then whatever I put in my mind it becomes a reality at the right time. For that I use my emotions and feelings, just as it is explained in Abraham-Hicks books, feelings are our GPS in order to know if we are aligned with our wishes and our goals.
8. Since the beginning of my experimentation with the Law of Attraction I have kept a dairy of all the wishes and thoughts I had in mind in order to assess in the future if they have become a reality or not. I can say that up to now almost all have become a reality and I keep doing that in order to keep track of it. If you are reading this blog now is because you are seeing one of my wishes coming true.

Good Vibrations - Getting Them and Keeping Them
19/06/07 05:18 PM Filed in: Law of
Attraction
You know some of the things we do
everyday can really impact how we feel
and determine what we are attracting to
ourselves. We need to have feeling great
and being positive a habitual part of us.
Of course there are going to be days that really shock your system and put you in such a mood. I found a post that gives some sound advice on how to get your vibe back and keep them that way.

Of course there are going to be days that really shock your system and put you in such a mood. I found a post that gives some sound advice on how to get your vibe back and keep them that way.
Post written by Shauna from breathingprosperity.com, see below for an excerpt:
-
- Remember that you are always at CHOICE. Any time you experience an emotion or reaction that does not represent your highest vision of yourself or that goes against your intentions, first accept that you are human and that this is normal and OK. Then, use your personal power and do whatever it takes to get yourself out of the funk. This decision, above all the other steps, is what will make the biggest difference to your happiness and vibrations level on a daily basis.
-
- Know what triggers you - both negative and postive. You can then try and avoid the negative when possible, and can use the positive ‘triggers’ to help you bounce back when you are feeling less than stellar.
-
- Get back to basics. For many people, including me, there are simple things that always make them feel better. Whether it’s comfort food, calling a trusted friend, or spending time in natural surroundings, take good care of yourself both every day, and when you feel out of sorts.
-
- Get moving. Exercise is one of the best - and quickest - ways I know of to feel great. Physical activity is sooo good for us on so many levels, both physically and mentally. Put on your sneakers and go for a walk if you do nothing else. Your body - and your cleared mind - will thank you! Then do it again tomorrow…
-
- Don’t define yourself by your past choices - even those of five minutes ago. If you are feeling guilty for falling off the bandwagon - whether it’s quitting smoking, eating healthy, exercising or any goal you are working on - remember that your next choice can get you back on track. Focus on what are doing well, and keep going. No one is a robot and we all slip now and then…just keep going! Persistence is what makes for winning achievement, AND for high vibrations. As soon as you are back on track, you will feel great again, and that is what this is all about!

Top 10 Things Dr. Joe Vitale Does Everyday To Be Successful
18/06/07 01:20 PM Filed in: Secret
Teachers
Here is an entertaining and educational
post from The Secret teacher
Dr. Joe Vitale's
blog. He lists down the top 10
things he does everyday to be
successful. I thought you would find
it an interesting read.
His post has inspired me to review what I do everyday to be successful. I am going to make a list of my own.
1. Exercise.
I exercise 4 to 5 days a week. Weight-lifting is three days a week. Cardio/aerobics is two. I usually do this in the morning, after I've had enough coffee to awaken most of my body and alert it to the fact that we're about to move. Exercise is a great stress reducer as well as confidence builder. Plus burning off calories lets me consume some calories and not regret it. I work-out in my own gym, so I don't have far to walk to get there. Truth be known, I wish I didn't have to exercise. But I also know there's no healthy way around it. So I, as Nike advises, "Just do it."
2. E-mail.
I check e-mail all day long, but heavily in the morning. I do my best to answer important e-mails quickly, as if writing a short telegram where every word costs plenty. Since my business is largely Internet driven, taking care of urgent e-mails keeps me prosperous and customers happy. Since I'm in the movie The Secret, often these e-mails come from reporters or people wanting to set up interviews with me, so it's important I act on these right away. I answer most email faster than most autoresponders. I also have a couple of mentoring programs, such as Miracles Coaching, and I love receiving emails from people achieving new levels of success from this coaching. Donald Trump once wrote, "Email is for wimps." For me, it's for the successful.
3. Read.
It should come as no surprise to anyone who knows me that I read numerous books, many at one time, and throughout the day. I love books. I'm an admitted bookaholic. I rarely read fiction and can't get enough nonfiction in the areas of marketing, copywriting, publicity, advertising, spirituality, psychology, health, healing, hypnosis, mind power, new thought, muscle building, close-up magic, etc.
4. Write.
I'm always working on a new book. I have so many books out now that I can't remember them all, which means I can sometimes re-read one of my own books and be entertained, since it's new to me, too. Usually there is one book I am focusing on writing to the exclusion of all else. Right now I'm writing The Key: The Missing Secret to Attracting Whatever You Want, but I also have two other books to write and several more to promote. Focus gives me power. I write every day, either on a book, an email campaign, a blog post, a website, a news release, or an article for www.mrfire.com/ I even write blog posts from my Blackberry. I'm a writer, so I write. A lot.
5. Hot Tub
My Jacuzzi is the greatest investment of my life. I've never been so relaxed after being in it for just 30 minutes at 101 degrees. I now do this virtually every day. There's nothing like resting and revitalizing yourself so you can go back into the office and resume work. I think it's essential to meditate and relax, in some way, daily. If you're too busy to do this, then you really need to do this.
6. Gratitude
About six months ago I started smoking cigars. Not cigarettes with all their paper and additives; cigars. Say what you want, cigar smoking has become a type of gratitude meditation for me. I usually smoke a Cuban cigar outside, on the pool deck, in the evening. Sometimes I play one of my guitars, too. As I relax and look at the sky, I give gratitude for my life. I didn't always have a luxurious lifestyle. I was homeless thirty or so years ago. I am grateful to have survived it and grateful to be alive today. Life is good. Giving thanks makes it better. Watch my smoke.
7. I Love You.
Every day I spend time with Nerissa, our cats and dog, and feel the love. I've learned that the simple statement "I love you" can create miracles. "I love you" keeps the bliss alive. I explain this in my forthcoming book, Zero Limits. But I do this every day. I'm doing it right now. I'm silently saying I love you as I write this.
8. Planning.
Every evening I list what I will do the next day. But I do this in a unique way. I learned this method from Jerry and Esther Hicks. I make two lists. On one list I write the things I am scheduled to do, such as make calls, do an interview, turn in my tax records to my corporate accountants, etc. On the other list I write what I want the Universe to do. This may sound goofy, but the Divine (the Universe, God, Life, Tao, etc) will handle some of your bigger requests, if you simply ask. Again, this may seem gonzo to you, but it's my reality. Apparently, it works. I continue to do it. Have for years.
9. Research.
I visit very few websites, but those I do are essential to me. I visit Amazon every day. I'm always checking on how my babies (books) are doing, such as The Attractor Factor and my P.T. Barnum book. I'm always looking to see what new books Amazon suggests I get. I read a handful of blogs. I don't pay too much attention to the current news. I'm interested in trends, gadgets, new technology, health, healing, the Law of Attraction, etc. But my quick turbo-speed web surfing keeps me at least abreast of what's happening, so I can spot opportunities for new products, etc.
10. Nap.
I try to take a nap every afternoon. Sometimes being in the hot tub relaxes me so much that's it best to take a nap right after being in it. I need a nap to let my muscles recuperate from working-out. I also need a nap to let my mind refuel after writing and reading most of the day. I don't usually get a lot of sleep at night, so an afternoon nap keeps me sane, too.

Tell It Like Beckwith
18/06/07 12:14 PM Filed in: Secret
Teachers | Law of
Attraction
Here is an interview with
Rev. Michael Beckwith conducted by
Helen Gray.
Q. What is the most important thing people should know about their thoughts?
A. A thought is a unit of mental energy. A thought, because it is energy, cannot be created or destroyed, so it becomes our opinions, perceptions and beliefs, and those become our experiences. As individuals become aware of their thoughts and begin to become committed to real thinking, they can begin to change the course of their destiny. They can free themselves from victimhood.
Most people regurgitate the same thoughts every day. They are thinking the thoughts of someone else or rethinking their own thoughts. That is re-hashing. When a person is praying, meditating or engaging in some spiritual practice, new thoughts come forth. This is real thinking, and that would make you progress.
What is the key to happiness?
Happiness or joy is not based upon external conditions. They are based upon your inner joy and happiness. As an individual wakes up and feels a connection to joy and happiness as a way of life, conditions will shape themselves around what I call feeling tone. If you get around certain people, you can feel the tone of that person’s life. Events like the one at Unity I call tuning forks.
What is the main cause of unhappiness?
People are expecting something from the world, expecting people, places and things to bring them happiness. But you are here to bring your gifts to the world. … The problem with most people is they think the world will make them happy. The world is not set up for that. The best it can do is entertain.
You have everything within you — beauty, love, wisdom, transforming knowledge, intelligence, creativity, power, talents, gifts — all are within every individual. People think those things come from the world. But we are here to bring this to the world. Our happiness comes from us bringing these things to the world, not by trying to get them from the world.
How should people deal with situations that seemingly are beyond their control?
A problem represents thoughts or perceptions in people’s lives. So they have to go inside and see what that problem represents, then slowly shift their internal reference points to assist them in moving through that issue. There are different reasons for problems in people’s lives.
First, is what I call the Job factor. People are having a problem because they have a fear, which can be conscious or unconscious, and this becomes their experience.
