Over the past year, many individuals have approached me asking me about my perspective, and the perspective of A Course in Miracles, on the popular book and film The Secret. I was also recently asked to be involved in a professional panel discussion on The Secret and what the law states of attraction at the Body Soul Spirit Expo in Calgary.
As I view it, The Secret offers a few powerful and necessary global messages worth appreciating.
The initial message is our thoughts have a robust influence on our life. The next insight is that people are entitled to a rich life, although true wealth is significantly more than simply cash and "toys." Instead, it involves feeling fulfilled in most aspects of life, including our relationships, career, and health. What we need to do is look within to find out if, in reality, we feel worth authentic wealth.
Another message that's subtly conveyed in The Secret, and the one that I believe to be true, is that after we have a heartfelt desire and we say yes to doing our part to manifest the desire, synchronicities arise, and dormant forces come alive.
On the flip side, I'm the idea that more "toys" in the proper execution of cars, houses, jet planes, and boats will make us happy and could be the demonstration of our capacity to manifest is potentially damaging and crippling for most individuals who are already "bankrupt" in the aspects of self-love and self-appreciation. The issue with this picture is that the desire to own often arises from an atmosphere of lack rather than a feeling of completeness. And because of this, whatever we gain hoping of feeling "full," whole, happy, or accomplished, will inevitably not work un curso de milagros en espanol since we feel a gap internally.
The reality is that people are not empty, but already full, and when we understand and feel this to be our new reality, then your outer world begins to "echo" our inner awareness.
A Course in Miracles reminds us that to their education that people can accept and be truly grateful for our inheritance to be an unbounded, abundant, whole, and unlimited Self, we will attract to ourselves the right outward expressions of our claimed inner worth. This reclaiming of our authentic Self will likely then miraculously bring into manifestation any material items that will serve the greater good of both our life and of those around us, and yet we will feel no dependency upon them for our happiness.
So, if you wish to know and live the Real Secret, find your Authentic Self, reclaim it-and your real inheritance will follow.
