Let's see... Somewhere between loosing weight, suffering a concussion, and adapting to a whole new life I stumbled upon something called,"The Secret!" I had of course heard about it before but never bothered to read or study it. Why? Well I can give a hundred reasons but mainly it was my strong assumption that the philosophy behind The Secret was copied from some Hindu or Buddhist belief and teaching. Which, of course was not true. In fact The Secret has nothing to do with the belief or faith its 100% science, physics to be precise.
As a kid I once read a book on Swami Vivekananda's preaching. I do not remember what it was about but what I do remember is reading about Will Power. Somewhere Swami Vivekananda mentioned about the power of human will. He pointed the fact out that human life was governed by Will Power. Once a person decides on achieving something in life and works on it consciously and sub consciously he sends a message to the Universe and the Universe and its forces get busy in helping the person achieve whatever he/she willed for. As a kid I gave it a try and I have to say it worked for me. How? well every time I slept I would dream of all that I wanted to be in future and guess what when I look back today I realize that I have achieved all that I ever wished for.
The Secret works on similar line but uses physics to explain the process. I am no good at science or math for that matter but I do know that law of attraction is true. I mean how many of us as children have wished for things we yearned for and prayed to God for hours to help us get what we desired the most. And some way or the other miraculously those things would appear just out of nowhere.
I remember once being told by my aunt to be careful as to what I wish for because per her God's angel's were watching. Contrary to the belief of my parents my aunts teachings imbibed in me fear to not think negative which, I have to admit kept me alive in worst of circumstances and helped me achieve things I most desired.
The Secret too just like my aunt's preaching is all about trying to think positive. According to The Secret one has to pen down their wishes on paper and hang or paste it in a place where it is easily visible. So that eyes even though look vaguely at the paper help mind register the desire. Mind once having done so commands the sub conscious to work on the desire. Subconscious dutifully complies and sends this message to the Universe and Universe in turn commands its forces to fulfill our desire.
All this points at one fact that Universe is like a wall filled with energy and our desires are like a ball. What ever energy we emit or throw like a ball at the wall called the Universe, the Universe returns the energy multiplied by the energy thrown at it by us. Meaning if I send a positive energy to the Universe I get twice of that in return from the Universe and vice versa.
Another interesting theory of The Secret is to not only pen down our desires but also to visualize them. For instance, my goal is to loose a minimum of 20 pounds so I close my eyes whenever I have time for few seconds or minutes and think about Heidi Klum or some pretty slim woman of my choice and feel good.
For some time I did not believe it would work but then I decided to give it a try I mean what have I got to loose but pounds? Anyways I have been doing this for a month now and I should say I started loosing more pounds than I thought I could. It was like my subconscious made decisions for me. I started to work out more, resist my greasy desires, and so on. Basically my subconscious tuned my brain to achieve what I wanted the most.
Confident that this trick works I tried another one and that is to replace my feelings be it anything anger, jealousy, sadness with good ones. I will admit that it was not easy in fact I had these bouts of anger where I would yell or cry for hours for no good reasons. Ya! Ya! I know its the hormones... but the point is I did let out when I had to but eventually I succeeded in thinking about good things and now I am still working on it.
Let me explain this with an example. My mother stayed with me for six long months and through out her stay we had this bitter sweet relationship which led to occasional fights and tension. To solve this issue I resorted to The Secret. On my next series of cold war whenever I thought of mean things she had done or said to me I thought about the days when she was a better mother. Days when she hugged me or kissed me or cuddled me or sang to me or helped me eat food yada yada yada... These were all small things but these were my sweet memories that excited my mind and feeling and made me smile and have a better opinion about her.
First few days it was a struggle but eventually it helped me have a more cordial relationship with my mother. In fact before she left I tried helping her with her one single problem in life and that is, being NEGATIVE all the time. I don't know how much of it she followed or will follow but I am sure if she ever did then it would alleviate a lot many problems for her.
Having personally tried The Secret I would strongly recommend it to all people who suffer tragedies, traumas, hardships, disappointments to give The Secret a try.
It might not create wonders overnight but it will surely help anyone who works on it to find a path that enlightens their future and helps them lead life in a positive way.
