What's up?: 100 Quotes from The Secret

For anyone who poo-poos The Secret movie and says it’s rubbish, all I can say to you is… “YOU’RE WRONG!” :-) Once you know something, you see it everywhere. Like when you buy a new car and suddenly start noticing all the other cars of the same type about…
One of the first ’spiritual’ books I ever read was Meditation by Eknath Easwaran and it had enormous influence on me. Well I just happened to be visiting his organization’s website the other day—by the way, I say “his organization” because Eknath is actually no longer ‘with us’, you know, in the body, he’s a ‘legend’ so to speak. Ok… I didn’t want to say it but you made me… he’s dead :-)
But anyway—wow! Get this—this is the very opening statement in the bit on meditation…

“The principle of meditation is simple: You are what you think.
By meditating on words that embody your highest ideals, you drive them deep into your consciousness. There they take root and begin to create wonderful changes in your life—changes you have wanted to make, but have not known how to bring about.”

You are what you think

Think about that! What about if we all went around saying really positive stuff to ourselves all day long—could be good eh? This is a guy who spent his whole life dedicated to studying and teaching spiritual wisdom and his main message is “You are what you think.” Interesting wouldn’t you say?
Anyway I’m not going to ramble on about how good The Secret is because I already did that (see my article about the common truth behind The Secret). But I came across this compilation of quotes from The Secret and I thought It’d be great to have this quick scannable list as a constant reminder about the truth that is the one law.
The more I think about it, the more I see this law everywhere—especially in the teachings of all the religions and wise guru type people. Get this…
Mark 11:24

“Therefore I say to you, all things for which you pray and ask, believe that you have received them, and they will be granted you.”

Amazing.

Good vibrations

The Secret would explain this by saying that by putting ourselves in the ‘vibration’ or state of having a thing or circumstance, we actually bring that into reality—sooner or later. I see the concept of karma as unresolved states, thoughts and feelings, things that you’ve asked for, consciously or unconsciously that have not yet come about. Every thought is a creation, be very careful what you think!
The above quote by Jesus is set amongst the story of Jesus withering the fig tree because it had no fruit. There’s a lot of supposed meaning behind this story but to me it’s a pure demonstration of what can be achieved if you know how to do it. After all, there are no miracles—either something is possible or it isn’t!
Thinking about meditation—consistently putting yourself in a state of deep peace and joy would have profound effects on your life as your outer reality comes into line with the inner.
Thinking about anger, which all religions and spiritual traditions say we must guard against. You can see why they are saying it—such a passionate negative state is bound to bring mass turmoil in the life of the angry person.
So anyway, WISE up yourself, and memorize this list :-)

We all work with one infinite power
The Secret is the Law of Attraction (LOA)
Whatever is going on in your mind is what you are attracting
We are like magnets — like attracts like. You become AND attract what you think
Every thought has a frequency. Thoughts send out a magnetic energy
People think about what they don’t want and attract more of the same
Thought = creation. If these thoughts are attached to powerful emotions (good or bad) that speeds the creation
You attract your dominant thoughts
Those who speak most of illness have illness, those who speak most of prosperity have prosperity and so on
It’s not “wishful” thinking
You can’t have a universe without the mind entering into it
Choose your thoughts carefully. You are a masterpiece of your life
It’s OK that thoughts don’t manifest into reality immediately (if we saw a picture of an elephant and it instantly appeared, that would be too soon)
EVERYTHING in your life you have attracted. Accept that fact, it’s true
Your thoughts cause your feelings
We don’t need to complicate all the “reasons” behind our emotions. It’s much simpler than that. Two categories – good feelings, bad feelings
Thoughts that bring about good feelings mean you are on the right track. Thoughts that bring about bad feelings means you are not on the right track
Whatever it is you are feeling is a perfect reflection of what is in the process of becoming
You get exactly what you are FEELING
Happy feelings will attract more happy circumstances
You can begin feeling whatever you want (even if it’s not there).. the universe will correspond to the nature of your song
What you focus on with your thought and feeling is what you attract into your experience
What you think and what you feel and what actually manifests is ALWAYS a match — no exception
Shift your awareness
“You create your own universe as you go along” ~ Winston Churchill
It’s important to feel good ( ( ( (((good))) ) ) )
You can change your emotion immediately by thinking of something joyful, or singing a song, or remembering a happy experience
When you get the hang of this, before you know it you will KNOW you are the creator
Life can and should be phenomenal. It will be when you consciously apply the Law of Attraction
The universe will re-arrange itself accordingly
Start by using this sentence for all of your wants: “I’m so happy and grateful now that…”
You don’t need to know HOW the universe is going to rearrange itself
LOA is simply figuring out for yourself what will generate the positive feelings of having it NOW
You might get an inspired thought or idea to help you move towards what you want faster
The universe likes SPEED. Don’t delay, don’t second-guess, don’t doubt
When the opportunity or impulse is there – ACT
You will attract everything you require – money, people, connections. PAY ATTENTION to what’s being set in front of you
You can start with nothing and out of nothing or no way — a WAY will be provided
HOW LONG??? No rules on time. The more aligned you are with positive feelings the quicker things happen
Size is nothing to the universe — unlimited abundance if that’s what you wish. We make the rules on size and time
No rules according to the universe. You provide the feelings of having it now and the universe will respond
Most people offer the majority of their thought in response to what they are observing — bills in the mail, being late, having bad luck and so on
You have to find a different approach to what is, through a different vantage point
“All that we are is a result of what we have thought” — Buddha
What can you do right now to turn your life around? Gratitude
Gratitude will bring more into our lives immediately
What we think about and THANK about is what we bring about
What are the things you are grateful for?? Feel the gratitude. Focus on what you have right now that you are grateful for
Play the picture in your mind — focus on the end result
VISUALIZE! Rehearse your future
VISUALIZE! See it, feel it! This is where action begins
Feel the joy, feel the happiness :o)
An affirmative thought is 100 times more powerful than a negative one
“What this power is, I cannot say. All I know is that it exists.” ~ Alexander Graham Bell
Our job is not to worry about the “How.” The “How” will show up out of the commitment and belief in the “what”
The “Hows” are the domain of the universe. It always knows the quickest, fastest, most harmonious way between you and your dream
If you turn it over to the universe, you will be surprised and dazzled by what is delivered. This is where magic and miracles happen
Turn it over to the universe daily, but it should never be a chore
Feel exhilarated by the whole process – high, happy, in tune
The only difference between people who are really living this way is they have habituated ways of being
They remember to do it all the time
Create a Vision Board — pictures of what you want to attract. Look at it every day and get into the feeling state of already having acquired these wants
“Imagination is everything. It is the preview of life’s coming attractions.” ~ Albert Einstein
Decide what you want. Believe you can have it, believe you deserve it, believe it’s possible for you
Close your eyes and visualize having what you already want — and the feeling of having it already
Focus on being grateful for what you have already. Enjoy it! Then release into the universe. The universe will manifest it
“Whatever the mind of man can conceive, it can achieve” ~ W. Clement Stone
Set a goal so big that if you achieved it, it would blow your mind
When you have an inspired thought, you must trust it and act on it
How can you become more prosperous? INTEND IT!
“Checks are coming in the mail regularly”… or change your bank statement to whatever balance you want in there… and get behind the feeling of having it
Life is meant to be abundant in ALL areas
Go for the sense of inner joy and peace then all outside things appear
We are the creators of our universe
Relationships: Treat yourself the way you want to be treated by others. Love yourself and you will be loved
Healthy respect for yourself
For those you work with or interact with regularly – get a notebook and write down positive aspects of each of those people
Write down the things you like most about them (don’t expect change from them). Law of attraction will not put you in the same space together if you frequencies don’t match
When you realize your potential to feel good, you will ask no one to be different in order for you to feel good
You will free yourself from the cumbersome impossibilities of needing to control the world, your friends, your mate, your children…
You are the only one that creates your reality
No one else can think or feel for you. Its YOU and ONLY YOU
Health: Thank the universe for your own healing. Laugh, stress free happiness will keep you healthy
Immune system will heal itself
Parts of our bodies are replaced every day, every week and so on — within a few years we have a brand new body
See yourself living in a new body. Hopeful = recovery. Happy = happier biochemistry. Stress degrades the body
Remove stress from the body and the body regenerates itself. You can heal yourself
Learn to become still. Take your attention away from what you don’t want, and place your attention on what you wish to experience
When the voice and vision on the inside become more profound and clear than the opinions on the outside, then you have mastered your life
You are not here to try to get the world to be just as you want it. You are here to create the world around you that you choose
Allow the world as others choose to see it, to exist as well
People think that if everyone knows the power of the LOA there won’t be enough to go around. This is a lie that’s been ingrained in us and makes so many greedy
The truth is there is more than enough love, creative ideas, power, joy, happiness to go around
All of this abundance begins to shine through a mind that is aware of it’s own infinite nature. There’s enough for everyone. See it. Believe it. It will show up for you
So let the variety of your reality thrill you as you choose all the things you want. Get behind the good feelings of all your wants
Write your script. When you see things you don’t want, don’t think about them, write about them, talk about them, push against them, or join groups that focus on the don’t wants. Remove your attention from don’t wants and place them on do wants
We are mass energy. Everything is energy. EVERYTHING
Don’t define yourself by your body. It’s the infinite being that’s connected to everything in the universe
One energy field. Our bodies have distracted us from our energy. We are the infinite field of unfolding possibilities. The creative force
Are your thoughts worthy of you? If not – NOW is the time to change them. You can begin right where you are right now. Nothing matters but this moment and what you are focusing your attention on.
