- A year ago my life had collapsed around me.
- I'd worked myself into exhaustion.
- My father died suddenly
- and my relationships were in turmoil.
- Little did I know at the time,
- out of my greatest despair
- was to come the greatest gift.
- I'd been given a glimpse of a great Secret.
- I began tracing the secret back through
- history.
- I couldn't believe all the people who knew
- this.
- They were the greatest people in history.
- (Whispers) Why doesn't any one know this?
- All I wanted to do was share
- The Secret with the World.
- I began searching for people
- alive today who know The Secret.
- One by one
- they began to emerge.
- You know this secret
- gives you everything you want:
- Happiness, health and wealth.
- You can have, do, be
- anything you want.
- We can have whatever it is
- that we choose.
- I don't care how big it is.
- What kind of a house do you want to live in?
- Do you want to be a millionaire?
- What kind of a business do you want to
- have?
- Do you want more success?
- What do you really want?
- I've seen many miracles take place
- in people' s lives.
- Financial miracles, miracles of physical
- healing,
- mental healing, healing in relationships.
- All of this happened because of
- knowing how to apply the secret.
- This is the great secret of life.
- You've probably been sitting there
- wondering, what is this secret?
- I'll tell you how I've come
- to understand it.
- We all work
- with one infinite power.
- We all guide ourselves
- by exactly the same laws.
- The natural laws of the universe
- are so precise
- that we don't even have any
- difficulty building space ships,
- we can send people to the moon
- and we can time the landing
- with the precision of a
- fraction of a second.
- I don't care if you're in India,
- if you're in Australia, New Zealand,
- Stockholm or London
- or Toronto or Montreal
- or New York.
- We're all working with one power.
- One law.
- It's attraction.
- The Secret is the Law of Attraction.
- Everything that' s coming into your life
- you are attracting into your life.
- And it's attracted to you
- by virtue of the images
- you're holding in your mind.
- It's what you're thinking.
- You see whatever is going on
- in your mind
- you are attracting to you.
- Now wise people have always known that,
- you can go right back
- to the ancient Babylonians,
- they've always known this,
- it's a small
- select group of people.
- Why do you think that
- one percent of the population
- earns around 96% of all
- the money that' s being earned?
- Do you think that' s an accident?
- It's no accident.
- It's designed that way.
- They understand something.
- They understand the Secret.
- And you are being introduced
- to The Secret.
- The simplest way for me to
- look at the law of attraction,
- is if I think of myself as a magnet
- and I know that a magnet
- will attract to it.
- Very basically put,
- the law of attraction says
- that like attracts like.
- But we're really talking
- at a level of thought.
- Our job as humans
- is to hold onto the thoughts
- of what we want,
- make it absolute clear
- in our minds what we want,
- from that we start to invoke
- one of the greatest
- laws in the universe
- and that' s the law of attraction.
- You become what you think about most
- but you also attract
- what you think about most.
- If you see it in here,
- you're going to hold it in here.
- And that principle can be summed up
- in three simple words,
- thoughts
- become
- things.
- What most people don't understand is
- a thought has a frequency.
- Every thought has a frequency,
- we can measure a thought.
- And so if you're thinking that thought
- over and over and over again,
- if you're imagining in your mind,
- having that brand new car,
- having the money that you need,
- building that company, finding your soul
- mate.
- If you're imagining
- what that looks like,
- you're emitting that frequency
- on a consistent basis.
- Thoughts are sending out
- that magnetic signal
- that is drawing the parallel
- back to you.
- See yourself living in abundance
- and you will attract it.
- It always works,
- it works every time,
- with every person.
- Here's the problem,
- most people are thinking about
- what they don't want
- and they're wondering why it shows up
- over and over and over again.
- The law of attraction doesn't care
- whether you perceive something
- to be good or bad
- or whether you don't want it,
- or whether you do want it
- It's responding to your thoughts.
- So if you're sitting there
- looking at a mountain of debt,
- feeling terrible about it,
- that's the signal you're
- putting out into the universe,
- 'wow', I feel really bad
- because of all this debt I've got,
- you're just affirming it to yourself
- you feel it on every level of your being,
- that's what you're going to get more of.
- So when you're looking at that
- thing you want
- and you're saying yes to it,
- you're activating a thought
- and law of attraction is
- responding to that thought
- and bringing you things
- that match that.
- But when you are looking at
- something that you do not want,
- and you shout,'No' at it,
- you are actually not pushing it away.
- Instead you are activating the very thought
- of what you do not want
- and now law of attraction
- is lining those things up for you also.
- This is a universe
- that is based upon attraction,
- everything is about attraction.
- The law of attraction is always working,
- whether you believe it
- or understand it or not.
- It's always working.
- You might be thinking about the past
- or the present or the future,
- but whether you're remembering
- or observing or imagining,
- still in that process you are activating thought
- and law of attraction, which is
- the most powerful law of the universe,
- is responding to your thought.
- Creation is always happening.
- Every time an individual has a thought or a
- prolonged chronic way of thinking
- they're in the creation process.
- Something is going to manifest out of those
- thoughts.
- Law of attraction says we'll give you
- whatever it is you say and focus on.
- And so if you're complaining about how bad
- it is,
- what you're creating is more of how bad it is.
- I had a student named Robert.
- Robert was a gay man, and he was
- taking an online course I have,
- part of which entails email access to me.
- And he outlined all of the
- grim realities of his life.
- In his job, all the people
- ganged up on him,
- and it was constantly stressful because
- of how nasty they were with him.
- When he walked down the street,
- he said every block he was accosted by
- homophobic people, who wanted
- to abuse him in some way.
- He was wanting to become a stand-up
- comedian,
- and when he went out and did
- a stand-up comedy job,
- everybody heckled him about being gay.
- And his whole life
- was one of a lot of unhappiness and misery,
- and it all focused around this idea
- of being attacked because he was gay.
- I began to teach him that
- he was focusing on what he did not want.
- I directed him back to his email that he sent
- me and said,
- "Read it again. Look at all the things you do
- not want
- that you're telling me about.
- And I can tell you're very passionate about
- this.
- When you focus on something with a lot of
- passion,
- it makes it happen even faster."
- And then he really started taking this
- thing about
- focusing on what you want to heart.
- And he began really trying it.
- What happened within the next 6... 8
- weeks was absolutely a miracle.
- He said that all the people in his
- office that had been harassing him
- either transferred to another department,
- quit working at the company,
- or started totally leaving him alone.
- And he began to love his job.
- He noticed that when he was
- walking down the street,
- that nobody came up to him and
- harassed him anymore.
- They just weren't there.
- When he went and did his
- stand-up comedy routines he
- started getting standing ovations
- and no body was heckling him.
- His whole life changed,
- because he changed from
- focusing on what he did not want,
- what he was afraid of, what he wanted to
- avoid,
- to focusing on what he did want.
- So we may be very positive in
- our outlook and orientation
- and we tend to attract positive people
- and positive events and circumstances.
- When we're very negative in our
- orientation, or very angry,
- in which case we tend to attract
- negative angry people
- and negative angry circumstances.
- And so you end up attracting to you
- the predominant thoughts that you're
- holding in your awareness,
- whether those thoughts are conscious
- or whether they're unconscious.
- That's the rub.
- If you look very carefully
- when it comes to the secret and
- the power of our mind and
- the power of our intention in our daily lives,
- its all around us.
- All we gotta do is
- open our eyes and look.
- You see Law of Attraction evidenced in your
- society
- when you see that the one who
- speaks most of illness has it,
- when you see that the one who
- speaks most of prosperity has it.
- Law of Attraction is evident
- everywhere around you
- if you are understanding what it is.
- It has to do with you being a magnet,
- attracting thought, attracting people,
- attracting events, attracting lifestyle.
- Indeed everything that you
- bring into your experience
- you bring because of this
- powerful Law of Attraction.
- I mean, I'm not talking to
- you from the point of view
- of just wishful thinking,
- or imaginary craziness.
- I'm talking to you from
- a deeper, basic understanding.
- Quantum physics really begins
- to point to this discovery.
- It says that you can't have a universe
- without mind entering into it.
- That the mind is actually shaping
- the very thing that is being perceived.
- Now if you don't understand it doesn't
- mean that you should reject it.
- You don't understand electricity properly.
- First of all no one even knows what electricity
- is
- and yet you enjoy the benefits of it.
- Do you know how it works?
- I don't know how it works.
- But I do know this,
- that you can cook a man' s
- dinner with electricity
- and you can also cook the man.
- People oftentimes when they begin
- to understand the great secret,
- become frightened of all these
- negative thoughts that they have.
- Two things, they need to be aware of,
- one; It has been proven now scientifically
- that an affirmative thought
- is hundreds of times more powerful
- than a negative thought,
- so that eliminates a degree
- of worry right there.
- You live in a reality where
- there is this buffer of time.
- And truly that serves you.
- You're really not wanting to be
- in an environment where
- your thoughts manifest immediately.
- The evidence is long in coming
- and that is really a good thing.
- So you want to become aware of your
- thoughts,
- you want to choose your thoughts carefully
- and you want to have fun with this
- because you are the masterpiece of your
- own life
- you are the Michaelangelo of your own life.
- The David that you are sculpting is you.
- And you do it with your thoughts.
- The leaders in the past who had the secret,
- wanted to keep the power and not share the
- power.
- So they kept people ignorant of The Secret.
- People went to work, they
- did their job they came home.
- They were on a treadmill with no power,
- because The Secret was kept in the few.
- We live in a universe in which there are laws.
- Just as there is a law of gravity,
- if you fall off a building,
- it doesn't matter if you are
- a good person or a bad person,
- you're gonna hit the ground.
- Everything that surrounds you
- right now in your life,
- including the things you're
- complaining about, you've attracted.
- Now, I know at first blush that' s gonna
- be something that you hate to hear.
- You're gonna immediately say, I didn't attract
- the car accident.
- I didn't attract this particular client.
- I didn't particularly attract the debt.
- I didn't attract... whatever it happens
- to be that you're complaining about.
- And I'm here to be a little bit
- in your face and to say,
- yes you did attract it.
- And this is one of the
- hardest concepts to get,
- but once you've accepted it
- it's life transforming.
- This is part of the overall giant Secret, here.
- And most of us attract by default.
- We just think that we don't
- have any control over it.
- Our thoughts are on auto-pilot,
- our feelings are on auto-pilot,
- and so, everything is just brought to us by
- default.
- Now this is your first time to
- hear this, it may feel like,
- oh I have to now monitor my thoughts?
- This is going to be a lot of work.
- It will seem like that at first.
- But that's where the fun begins.
- We do not encourage that you try
- to monitor your thoughts.
- That will sort of make you crazy.
- There are so many thoughts coming to you,
- from so many different directions,
- about so many different subjects.
- That's where your emotional guidance
- system comes in.
- Your emotions - your emotional guidance
- system -
- is what helps you to understand what you're
- thinking.
- So your thoughts cause your feelings.
- The emotions are this
- incredible gift that we have.
- To let us know what we're attracting.
- There are only two emotions
- from our perspective.
- One feels good and one feels bad.
- You call them all sorts of different things,
- but essentially all of those negative emotions
- - whether you call it guilt,
- or anger or frustration
- - all feel much the same.
- They do not feel good.
- And all of them are guidance saying
- that which you are thinking about right now
- is not in line with what you are really wanting.
- On another level it' s called bad frequency
- or bad vibes or whatever you want to call it.
- The one that feels good, that feeling
- of hope, or happiness or love,
- that good feeling, that positive emotion, is
- guidance saying
- that which you are thinking right now
- is in alignment with what you are wanting.
- So it's really so simple.
- It's right there, the answer.
- What am I attracting right now?
- Well, how do you feel? I feel good.
- Well good, keep doing that.
- Our feelings are a feedback
- mechanism to us
- about whether we're on track or not,
- whether we are on course of
- or off course.
- The better you feel,
- the more in alignment you are.
- The worse you feel,
- the more out of alignment you are.
- What you are doing as you
- are moving through
- the variety of your day to day experience,
- is you are offering thoughts
- that are literally formulating your
- future experience.
- And you can tell by the way you feel
- if the things that you are moving toward
- will please you when you get there.
- And you're getting exactly what
- you're feeling about
- not so much what it is you're thinking about.
- That's why people if they
- stub their toe out of bed,
- they tend to spiral.
- The whole day goes like that you know.
- They have no clue that a simple
- shifting of their emotions
- can change their entire day and life.
- If you start out having a good day
- and you're in that particular happy feeling
- as long as you don't allow
- something to change your mood,
- you're going to continue to attract,
- by the law of attraction
- more situations, people that
- sustain that happy feeling.
- Good days bad days, rich get
- richer, poor get poorer
- its all about what these people are
- predominantly
- and continually feeling.
- You can begin right now to
- feel healthy.
- You can begin to feel prosperous.
- You can begin to feel the love
- that's surrounding you,
- even if it's not there.
- And what will happen is
- the Universe will correspond to the
- nature of your song.
- The universe will correspond to the
- nature of that inner feeling,
- and manifest, because
- that's the way you feel.
- So basically what you focus on
- with thought and feeling,
- is what you attract into your experience,
- whether or not it' s something you want.
- Every single time.
- No exception.
- It's hard to swallow.
- But when we can begin to open
- ourselves up to that,
- the ramifications are awesome.
- It means that whatever thought
- has done in your life,
- it can be undone through a
- shift in your awareness.
- It's really important that you feel good,
- because this feeling good is what goes
- out as a signal into the Universe,
- and starts to attract more of itself to you.
- So the more you can feel good,
- the more you will attract the things
- that help you feel good,
- and are able to keep bringing
- you up higher and higher.
- When you're feeling down,
- Did you know that you can
- change it like that?
- Put on a beautiful piece of music.
- Start singing. That'll change your emotion.
- Or think of something beautiful.
- Think of a baby.
- Maybe one you love.
- And dwell on it. Really keep that
- thought in your mind,
- block everything out but that thought.
- I guarantee you'll start
- to feel good.
- This principle applies to your
- family pet for instance,
- which I believe are wonderful because they
- put you in a great emotional state.
- When you feel love for your pet
- that's a great state of love
- that's going to bring goodness into your life.
- And what a gift that is.
- And when you begin to get the hang of this,
- when you begin to guide your thoughts
- based upon the way they feel
- and you begin to notice the correlation
- between
- what you're feeling and thinking
- and what' s coming back to you,
- before you know it
- you will know that you are
- the creator of your own reality.
- And those who are watching from a distance
- will stand in amazement
- at the perfect life you live.
- Since I learned the Secret and
- started applying it to my life,
- my life has truly become magical,
- I think the kind of life that
- everybody dreams of
- and I live on a day-to-day basis.
- I live in a four and a half
- million dollar mansion.
- I have a wife to die for.
- I get to vacation in all the
- fabulous spots of the world,
- I've climbed mountains, I've explored,
- I've been on safaris.
- And all of this happened and
- continues to happen
- because of knowing how to apply the Secret.
- Life can be absolutely phenomenal
- and it should be
- and it will be when you start
- using the Secret.
- Well a lot of people ask me what
- their job is in the creative process,
- and what the job of the Universe is.
- So let's look at that for a moment.
- Let's use this metaphor if you think about
- Aladdin and his lamp.
- You've probably heard of that one.
- I mean, Aladdin picks up
- the lamp and he dusts it off
- and out pops the genie.
- The genie always says one thing,
- "Your wish is my command."
- If you trace the story back to
- its origins, you know
- we now think that there' s
- three wishes,
- but if you trace the story back to its origins
- there's absolutely no limit whatsoever
- to the wishes.
- Think about that one.
- Now, let's take this metaphor
- and blow it out
- and apply it to you and your life.
- Remember Aladdin is the one who
- always asks for what he wants.
- Then you've got the Universe at large,
- which is this grand genie,
- and traditions you know have called
- it so many different things.
- Your holy guardian angel,
- your higher self.
- I mean we can put any label on it,
- and you chose the one that
- works best for you.
- But every tradition has told us
- there's something bigger than us.
- And the genie always says one thing...
- "Your wish is my command."
- So we like to say to you that the
- creative process is a three step process.
- Step one is you must
- ask for what you want.
- You do not need to use words
- to ask, in fact,
- the universe is not even hearing
- words from you.
- The universe is responding
- completely to your thought.
- What do you really want?
- Sit down and write it out on
- a piece of paper.
- Write it in the present tense.
- You might begin by writing,
- "I am so happy and grateful now that... '
- And then explain how you want
- your life to be.
- In every area.
- And this is really fun.
- This is like having the Universe as your
- catalogue,
- and you flip through it and you go,
- "Well, I'd like to have this experience
- and I'd like to have that product
- and I'd like to have a person like that.'
- It is you just placing your order
- with the Universe.
- It's really that easy.
- The second step is answer.
- An answer to what you're asking.
- And that is not your work
- in your physical form.
- The Universe will do that step for you.
- All of the universal forces
- are responding to the thoughts that
- you have set into motion.
- Genie: "Your wish is my command."
- And the Universe will start to rearrange itself
- to make it happen for you.
- Most of us have never allowed ourselves
- to want what we truly want,
- because we can't see how
- it's going to manifest.
- If you do just a little research
- it is going to become evident to you
- that anyone that ever
- accomplished anything,
- did not know how they were
- going to do it.
- They only knew they were
- going to do it.
- You don't need to know how
- it's going to come about.
- You don't need to know how
- the universe will rearrange itself.
- You don't know how,
- it'll be shown to you.
- You will attract the way.
- So then our friends say,
- 'Something must be going terribly wrong,
- because I know I am asking
- so where' s my stuff? '
- And we say, you are asking.
- You are completing step one,
- you can't help but do that.
- And the Universe is answering
- every time, no exception.
- But there is another step that
- you must understand,
- and it is called step three,
- which is the receiving step.
- Which means you must bring yourself
- into alignment
- with what you're asking for.
- When you are in alignment with what
- you want, you feel wonderful.
- That's what enthusiasm is,
- that's what joy is,
- that's what appreciation is,
- that's what that feeling of passion is.
- But when you are feeling despair
- or fear or anger,
- those are strong indicators that you
- are not right now in alignment
- with what you're asking for.
- And so, when you begin to realise
- that the way you feel is everything,
- and you begin to direct your thoughts
- based upon how they feel,
- little by little you can find
- the feeling place of it
- and now you are one with it,
- and now it must manifest
- into your experience.
- And when you turn that fantasy
- into a fact,
- you're in the position to build
- bigger and better fantasies.
- And that my friend,
- is the creative process.
- So, the law of attraction,
- the study and practice of
- the law of attraction,
- is just figuring out what will help you
- generate the feelings of having it now.
- Go test drive that car,
- go shop for that home,
- get in the house.
- Do whatever you have to do to generate
- the feelings of having it now,
- and remember them.
- Whatever you can do to do that
- will help you to literally attract it.
- It could be you wake up and
- it's just there, it' s manifest.
- Or, you might get some inspired idea
- of some action to take.
- You certainly shouldn't be going,
- "Well, I could do it this way,
- but man I would hate that.'
- Because you're not on the right
- track if that' s the case.
- Action will sometimes be required,
- but if you're really doing it in line with
- what the universe is trying to deliver,
- it's going to feel joyous,
- you're going to feel so alive,
- time will just stop,
- you could do it all day.
- The universe likes speed,
- don't delay don't second guess, don't doubt.
- When the opportunity' s there,
- when the impulse is there,
- when the intuitive nudge from
- within is there,
- act.
- That's your job.
- And that's all you have to do.
- You will attract everything
- that you require.
- If it's money you need you will attract it,
- if it's people you need you'll attract it.
- If it's a certain book you need
- you'll attract it.
- You've gotta pay attention to
- what you're attracted to,
- because as you hold images of
- what you want,
- you're gonna be attracted to things and
- they're gonna be attracted to you.
- But it literally moves into physical reality
- with and through you.
- And it does that by law.
- You can start with nothing,
- and out of nothing and out of no way,
- a way will be made.
- Think of this.
- A car driving through the night,
- the headlights only go a hundred to
- two hundred feet forward,
- and you can make it all the way
- from California to New York,
- driving, through the dark,
- because all you have to see
- is the next two hundred feet.
- And that's how life tends to
- unfold before us.
- And if we just trust that the next
- two hundred feet will unfold after that
- that and the next two hundred feet
- will unfold after that,
- your life will keep unfolding.
- And it will eventually get you to the
- destination
- of whatever it is you truly want,
- because you want it.
- Well another thing people wonder about is,
- how long is this gonna take?
- How long will it take to manifest
- the car, the relationship,
- the money, or whatever it happens to be.
- Well, I don't have any rule book that says
- it's gonna take you thirty minutes
- or three days or thirty days.
- I think its more a matter of you
- being in alignment with the Universe itself.
- Size is nothing to the universe.
- It is no more difficult to attract
- on a scientific level
- something that we consider huge
- to something that we consider
- infinitesimally small...
- The universe does everything it does
- with zero effort.
- The grass doesn't strain to grow,
- it's effortless. It' s just this great design.
- It's all about what' s going on up here.
- It's about what we put in place saying
- "This is big, it' s going to
- take some time' and
- "This is small, oh I'll give it an hour.'
- You know, those are our rules
- that we define.
- There are no rules according to the Universe.
- You provide the feelings of having it now.
- It will respond.
- Some people have an easier time
- with little things
- and so we sometimes say,
- "Well, start with something small
- like a cup of coffee.
- Make it your intention to attract
- a cup of coffee today.'
- Hold an image of
- talking to an old friend that you haven't
- seen for a long time.
- Somehow or another somebody's going to
- start talking to you about that person.
- That person's going to phone you
- or you'll get a letter from them.
- People are amazed at how I
- line up car parks,
- and I've done this right from when
- I first understood the Secret.
- I would visualise a car space
- exactly where I wanted it
- and 95% of the time it
- would be there for me,
- and I would just pull straight in.
- 5% of the time I'd have to
- wait just a minute or two
- and the person would pull out
- and I'd pull in.
- So I do that all that time.
- A lot of people feel stuck or imprisoned
- or confined by their current circumstances,
- and I'm trying to point out that
- whatever your circumstances right now
- that is only your current reality
- and current reality will begin to
- change as a result of watching this
- and beginning to use The Secret.
- And sometimes it feels like you're stuck,
- because you continue
- to think the same thoughts
- over and over again.
- And so you tend to get the same results
- over and over again.
- And the reason is because,
- You see if you're just looking at what is,
- then you're just thinking about what is.
- And when you think about what is
- Law of Attraction gives you more of it.
- And then if you just observe what is
- then you're just thinking about what is
- and Law of Attraction gives
- you more of what is.
- And then if you just observe what-
- we've been over this haven't we.
- You have to find a way that you
- are approaching what is
- through a different vantage point.
- Most people look at their current state of
- affairs and they say this is who I am.
- That's not who you are
- that's who you were.
- You see if you look at your current
- state of affairs right now
- let's say for instance that you don't
- have a lot of money in your bank account
- or you don't have the relationship
- that you want
- or your health and fitness isn't up to par
- That's not who you are
- that's the residual outcome of your
- past thoughts and actions.
- So we're constantly living in this
- residual if you will
- of the thoughts and actions we've
- taken in the past.
- When you look at your current state of
- affairs and define yourself by that
- then you doom yourself to have nothing
- more than the same in future.
- Okay, what you can you do right now
- to begin to turn your life around?
- I'll tell you two or three things.
- Start making a list of things
- to be grateful for.
- Start with that, because this
- shifts your energy.
- It starts to shift your thinking.
- Where before this exercise you might be
- focusing on what you don't have,
- and you might be focusing on your
- complaint,
- and you might be focusing on
- whatever the problems are,
- when you do this exercise you start
- to go on a different direction.
- You start to be grateful for all
- the things that you feel good about.
- Gratitude is absolutely the way
- to bring more into your life.
- Every man knows that when his
- wife's appreciating him
- for the little things he does,
- what does he want to do?
- He wants to do more.
- It's always about appreciation.
- It pulls things in, it attracts support.
- I've said for many years
- that whatever we think about
- and thank about
- we bring about.
- That's that feeling that you have to have,
- and so for me it' s been such
- a powerful exercise,
- every morning to get up and say thank you,
- every morning when my feet hit
- the floor, thank you.
- And then I start running through
- what I'm grateful for
- as I'm going to brush my teeth and do
- the things I do in the morning.
- And I'm not just thinking about them
- and doing some rote routine,
- but I'm putting it out there
- and I'm feeling the feelings of gratitude.
- Because as soon as you start to feel
- differently about what you already have,
- you will start to attract
- more of the good things,
- more of the things you can
- be grateful for.
- Because you could look around and say,
- "Well, look, I don't have the car
- I want, I don't have the house I want,
- I don't have the health I want,
- I don't have the spouse I want,
- Whoah, back up, back up.
- Those are all the things you don't want.
- Focus on what you already have
- that you're grateful for.
- And it might be, you have the eyes
- to watch this.
- It might be the clothes that you have.
- Yes, you might prefer something else and
- you might get something else pretty soon
- if you start feeling grateful
- for what you have.
- I think everybody goes through
- times when they say,
- "oh man, things aren't working
- right or things are going bad,
- and there are some things
- going on in my family..."
- and I found a rock.
- And I'm just sitting here holding this rock.
- You might see me carrying it around.
- I found a rock, I stuck it in
- my pocket, and I said,
- "You know what?
- Every time I touch this rock,
- I'm going to think of something that
- I'm grateful for."
- So every morning when I get
- up in the morning,
- I pick it up of f the dresser,
- I put it in my pocket,
- and I go through the things
- that I'm grateful for.
- At night, what do you do?
- You empty your pocket,
- and there it is again.
- And I've had some different
- experiences with that,
- I've had some amazing experiences.
- I had a guy from South Africa,
- he saw me drop it and he said,
- "What is that?"
- I explained it to him, so he
- started calling it a...
- "Gratitude rock."
- Two weeks later I got an email from him,
- from South Africa.
- And he said, "My son is dying from a
- rare disease, it' s a type of Hepatitis.
- Would you send me three gratitude rocks?"
- They were just rocks I found off the street,
- you know, so I said, "Sure."
- I had to make sure that the rocks
- were very special,
- and so I went out to the stream,
- looked, picked out the right rocks,
- and sent them off to him.
- Four or five months later,
- I get an email from him.
- He said, "My son' s better,
- he's doing terrific,"
- and he said, "but you need
- to know something...
- We've sold over a thousand rocks
- at ten dollars a piece
- as gratitude rocks,
- and we've raised all this
- money for charity.
- Thank you very much."
- And so it's very important to be in an
- attitude of gratitude,
- as I like to call it.
- Another thing that I would suggest
- that you do right now to turn
- your life around
- and this is so huge that I can't
- find the words to describe
- just how powerful this can be for you.
- I took the visualisation process
- from the Apollo program,
- and instituted it during the 1980s
- and 90s into the Olympic program.
- And it was called visual motor rehearsal.
- And the interesting thing
- about the mind is,
- we took Olympic athletes
- and then hooked them up to sophisticated
- bio-feedback equipment,
- and had them run their event
- only in their mind.
- Incredibly, the same muscles fired
- in the same sequence
- when they were running the race
- in their mind,
- as when they were running it on the track.
- How could this be?
- Because the mind can't distinguish
- whether you're really doing it
- or whether it' s just a practice.
- I think if you've been there in the mind,
- you'll go there in the body.
- When you're visualizing,
- when you've got that picture
- playing out in your mind,
- always and only
- dwell upon the end result.
- Here's an example,
- look at the back of your
- hands right now.
- Really look at the back or your hands,
- the colour of your skin, the freckles,
- the blood vessels,
- the rings the fingernails,
- the fake fingernails.
- Take in all those details,
- right before you close your eyes
- and then see those hands,
- your fingers wrapping around the
- steering wheel
- of your brand new car.
- This is such a holographic experience,
- so real
- so real in this moment
- that you don't even feel like
- you need the car
- because it feels like you
- already have it.
- See it's the feeling
- that really creates the attraction,
- not just the picture or the thought
- and I think for a lot of people they think,
- "Well if I think positive thoughts
- or if I visualize having what I want,
- that will be enough."
- But if you're doing that and
- still not feeling abundant
- or feeling you know, loving or joyful,
- then it doesn't from my mind
- really create the power of
- the attraction.
- This is where the Secret actually
- moves into action.
- You put yourself in the feeling place
- of really being in that car,
- not, "Oh I wish I could get that car" or,
- "Some day I'll have that car",
- because that' s a very definite
- feeling associated with that.
- It's not in the now, it's not,
- you know, it's in the future.
- If you stay in that feeling
- it will always be in the future.
- Feel the joy, feel the happiness.
- No matter how silly it seems in
- that dark and quiet room
- and you're going, "Woo hoo!"
- Do it!
- A lot of people will say, you know,
- "Come on, do I have to do that?"
- How bad do you want change?
- Now that feeling
- and that inner seeing
- will begin to be an open doorway
- through which the power of the
- Universe will begin to express.
- Our job is not to figure out the how
- the how will show up
- out of a commitment and belief
- in the what.
- The hows are the domain of
- the universe.
- It always knows the shortest,
- 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 to you.
- This is where magic and miracles happen.
- Well I would say you want to
- do this virtually daily,
- but my disclaimer is,
- this should never be a chore.
- What's really bottom line important here
- to the whole Secret is feeling good.
- You want to feel exhilarated
- by this whole process.
- You want to be high, happy,
- in tune, as much as possible.
- The only difference between people
- who really are living this way
- and people who aren't living
- in the magic of life,
- is that the people who are
- living in the magic of life
- have habituated ways of being.
- They have habituated this process
- and magic happens with them
- wherever they go,
- because they remember it and
- they do it all the time,
- not as a one time event.
- People hold that for a while
- and they're really a champion
- at it and they say,
- "You know what I'm fired up,
- I saw this program
- and I'm gonna change my life",
- and yet you know results aren't
- showing results aren't showing
- and beneath the surface it's just
- about ready to break through.
- And someone will look at
- the surface results and go,
- "This stuff doesn't work."
- You know what the universe says?
- "Your wish is my command."
- And it goes down.
- Knowing the Law of Attraction,
- I wanted to really put it to use
- and to see if it was, you know
- what would happen.
- And in 1995 I started to create
- something called a vision board,
- where I take something that
- I want to achieve
- or something that I want to attract,
- like a car or a watch or
- the soul mate of my dreams,
- and I put a picture of what I want
- up on this board called
- the Vision Board.
- And every day I would sit in
- my office
- and I would look up at this board
- and I would start to visualise,
- I would really get into the state
- of having already acquired it.
- I was getting ready to move,
- we put all
- the furniture, all the boxes,
- into storage,
- and I made three different moves
- over a period of five years,
- and then I ended up in California
- and bought this house,
- renovated it for a year,
- and then had all the stuff brought from my
- former home five years earlier
- One morning, about seven
- thirty in the morning,
- my son comes into
- my office,
- and one of the boxes that was
- sealed for five years
- was right at the door step.
- And my son came in and he was sitting
- on the box banging away at the box,
- and I said, "Sweetheart will you please stop,
- I'm doing some work here."
- "What's in the boxes Daddy?"
- And I said, "Well honey, those
- are my Vision Boards."
- "What's a Vision Board?"
- I said, "Well it's where I put
- all my goals up,
- I cut them out and I put
- all my goals up
- as something that I want to
- achieve in my life."
- And of course at five and a half years
- old he didn't understand,
- and so I said, "Sweet let me
- just show you,
- that'll be the easiest way to do it."
- And so I cut the box open
- and when I pulled up the
- Vision Boards
- there was a picture on there of a home
- that I was visualising
- five years earlier,
- and what was shocking to me was
- we were living in that house.
- Not a house like it.
- I bought my dream home,
- renovated it,
- and didn't even know it.
- But I looked at that house and I started
- to cry because I was just blown away
- "Why you crying?"
- "Honey, I finally understand how
- the Law of Attraction works.
- I finally understand the power
- of visualisation.
- I finally understand
- everything that I've read,
- everything that I've worked with.
- My whole life,
- the way I've built companies.
- It worked for my home as well,
- and I bought our dream home
- and didn't even know it."
- Decide what you want,
- believe you can have it,
- believe you deserve it,
- and believe it' s possible for you.
- And then close your eyes every day
- for several minutes and visualize
- having what you already want,
- and feeling the feelings of
- already having it.
- Come out of that
- and focus on what you're
- grateful for already.
- And really be, enjoy it, okay
- And then go into your day and release it
- to the Universe,
- and trust that the Universe
- will figure out how
- to manifest.
- You know, the Secret was definitely
- a real transformation for me,
- because I grew up in a family where
- my dad was very negative,
- thought that rich people were people that
- had ripped everyone off
- Thought that anyone that had money
- must have deceived somebody.
- So I grew up with a lot
- of beliefs about money
- that if you had it,
- it made you bad,
- you know, only evil people
- have money
- and you know, money
- doesn't grow on trees.
- That was a big one.
- "Who do you think I am, Rockefeller?"
- That was one of his favourite phrases.
- So I grew up truly believing
- that life was difficult,
- that it was hard,
- you had to struggle.
- And it was only when I met
- W. Clement Stone,
- that I literally began to
- shift my life.
- When I was working with Stone
- he said, "I want you to set a
- goal that' s so big
- that if you achieved it,
- it would blow your mind.
- And you would know it' s only
- because of what I've taught you
- that you would have
- achieved this goal."
- Well, at the time
- I was making about eight
- thousand dollars a year
- and for some reason I wanted something
- that was really measurable,
- so I said,
- "I want to make a hundred
- thousand dollars in a year."
- I had no idea how I could do that.
- I saw no strategy, no possibility
- but I just said,
- "I'm going to declare that,
- I'm going to believe it,
- I'm going to act as if it' s true,
- and release it."
- And so I did that.
- And one of the things he
- taught me was every day
- to close your eyes and
- visualize the goals
- as if it's already achieved.
- And I had actually made a
- hundred thousand dollar bill
- that I'd put on the ceiling.
- So the first thing I'd see
- when I woke up...
- I'd look up and there it was
- and it would remind me
- that this was my intention.
- And then I would close my
- eyes and visualize
- having this hundred thousand dollar
- a year lifestyle.
- And interestingly enough,
- nothing major happened for
- about thirty days.
- You know, I didn't have any
- great breakthrough ideas,
- no-one was offering
- me more money.
- And all of a sudden
- I was in the shower,
- it was about four weeks into it,
- and I had a hundred
- thousand dollar idea.
- It just came right into my head.
- I had a book I had written,
- and I said if I can sell four hundred
- thousand copies of my book
- at a quarter each,
- that'd be a hundred thousand dollars.
- Now, the book was there,
- but Id never had this thought
- And one of the secrets, I think, is
- Now I didn't know how to do that,
- I didn't know how I was going to sell
- four hundred thousand copies,
- we'd never done that.
- And then I saw the National
- Enquirer at the supermarket.
- I had seen that millions of times,
- and it was just background.
- And all of a sudden it jumped
- out at me as foreground.
- And I thought, "Wow, if readers
- knew about my book, certainly
- four hundred thousand people
- would go out and buy it.'
- And about six weeks later I gave
- a talk at Hunter College in New York
- to six hundred teachers, and
- this lady comes up at the end
- and she says, - "That was a great talk,
- I want to interview you.
- Let me give you my card."
- And I said, "Who do you write for?"
- "I'm a freelancer,
- but I sell most of my stuff
- to the National Enquirer."
- You know, and I had this
- little theme from
- the Twilight Zone went
- off in my head.
- "Dern-ner ner ner..."
- Like, whoah, this stuffs really working.
- So that article came out
- and our book sales
- started to take off
- But the point I want
- to make is that
- I was attracting into my life
- all these different events
- including this person.
- And to make a long story short,
- I did not make a hundred
- thousand dollars that year.
- We made ninety-two thousand
- three hundred and twenty-seven dollars.
- But you think we were like
- depressed and going,
- "This doesn't work"?
- No, we were going,
- "Whoa, this is amazing!"
- And so my wife said to me
- "Wow, if it works for a hundred thousand,
- do you think it'd work
- for a million?"
- And I said, "I don't know,
- I think so. Let' s try it."
- And my publisher actually wrote me a check,
- it was a royalty check,
- for our first Chicken Soup
- for the Soul book.
- He actually put a smiley
- face in the signature
- cause it was the first million dollar
- check he'd ever written.
- And so I know from my own experience,
- because I wanted to test it,
- does this Secret really work?
- And we put it to the test.
- It absolutely worked.
- And now I live my life from that,
- every single day.
- Well, I can just imagine what a lot of people
- that are watching this are thinking.
- And that is, how can I attract
- more money into my life?
- How can I get more of the green stuff?
- How can I get more of
- wealth and prosperity?
- How can I, when I love my job,
- deal with the credit card
- debt that I have
- and the realization that maybe theres
- a ceiling on the money that can come in,
- "cause it's coming to me through my job?
- How can I bring in more?
- Intend it!
- This goes back to one of the things we've
- been talking about throughout the whole
- Secret.
- Your job is to declare
- what you would like to have from
- the catalogue of the universe.
- Well, if cash is one of them,
- say how much you would like to have.
- I would like to have
- twenty-five thousand dollars,
- unexpected income,
- within the next thirty days,
- or whatever it happens to be.
- It should be believable for you.
- Most people have a goal
- of getting out of debt
- Thatll keep you in debt forever.
- Whatever you're thinking about
- you will attract.
- You say, but it's get out of debt.
- I don't care if it' s
- get out or get in,
- if you're thinking debt
- you're attracting debt.
- Set up an automatic
- debt repayment program
- and then start to focus on prosperity.
- So many times people say to me,
- "Well I'd like to double my
- income in the next year".
- But then you look at their actions
- and they're not doing the things
- that are going to make
- that happen and,
- you know, they'll turn right
- around and they'll go,
- "Well I can't afford that".
- Ok, guess what,
- "Your wish is my command".
- As you are fussing about
- not having enough money,
- as you are talking to your friend
- about not having enough money,
- as you are feeling unhappy
- about not having enough money,
- you are actually activating
- within yourself,
- or continuing the activation
- of a thought,
- that is very different from
- the desire that you have launched.
- What it just comes down to is,
- you just can't want more money
- and focus upon not enough.
- When I first understood
- The Secret
- I was getting bills,
- every day I would get a bunch
- of bills in the mail.
- And I thought how do I turn this around?
- The Law of Attraction states,
- that what you focus on
- you will get.
- So I got a bank statement,
- I whited-out the total,
- and I put a new total in there.
- I put exactly how much I
- wanted to see in the bank.
- What if I just visualized checks
- coming in the mail?
- So I just visualized,
- a bunch of checks coming in the mail.
- Within just one month,
- things started to change.
- And it's amazing.
- Today I just get checks in the mail.
- I get a few bills, but I get
- more checks than bills.
- I grew up on you have to
- work hard for money,
- you have to work hard for money.
- And so I replaced that with,
- money comes easily and frequently.
- Now in the beginning it feels
- like a lie, right.
- There was a part of your
- brain that will say,
- "Oh you liar, it's hard."
- So, you have to know this
- little tennis match
- that will go on for a while.
- When it comes to creating wealth,
- wealth is a mindset.
- It's all about how you think.
- I'd say 80% of my coaching that
- I do one on one with folks,
- is about their psychology
- and the way they think
- I know when people are listening they say
- "Oh, well you can do it, I can't."
- Every person has the capability
- to change the way
- their inner relationship
- and conversation with money.
- I find so many people who
- maybe make a tremendous amount
- of money,
- but their relationships stink.
- That's a technical term,
- by the way.
- And that's not wealth,
- it really isn't.
- You know, you can go after the
- money and you might get rich,
- but it doesn't guarantee
- you'll be wealthy.
- I'm not suggesting that money
- isn't a part of wealth,
- it absolutely is,
- but it's only a part.
- And then I meet a lot of
- people who are,
- quote unquote, "spiritual',
- but they're sick and broke
- all the time.
- That's not wealth either.
- Life is meant to be abundant.
- In all areas.
- Many people in Western culture
- are striving for success,
- they want to have the home,
- they want their business to work,
- they want all of these things.
- But what I found in my research
- is that having those things
- certainly doesn't guarantee
- what we really want,
- which is happiness.
- And that's when all those
- outer things come.
- They don't come from going after
- them first to get happiness.
- It's backwards.
- You go for the sense of inner joy,
- of inner peace,
- of inner vision, first,
- and then all the other things
- from the outside appear.
- The Secret means for me
- actually that
- we are creators of our universe.
- And that every wish of what
- we want to create
- will manifest in our lives.
- Therefore it's very important
- what you wish,
- what your thoughts are,
- what your feelings are,
- because it will manifest.
- Now, one day I went into somebody' s home
- and he was an art director,
- a very famous film producer.
- And in every corner
- he had this beautiful image of a woman,
- a naked woman, dressed with a fabric,
- kind of doing this, kind of saying
- "I don't look at you, I don't see you",
- you know
- And I said,
- "I think you have trouble in your romance."
- "Are you clairvoyant or something?"
- "No, but look. Seven places,
- you have exactly that woman."
- "But I love that kind of painting.
- I painted it myself."
- "That's even worse," I said,
- "because you put all your creation
- and creativity in it."
- Now he's this gorgeous looking man,
- he has all these actresses around him,
- because that' s the work he does,
- and he doesn't get romance.
- I said, "What do you want?"
- "Well, I want to date
- three women a week."
- "Okay, paint yourself with three women,
- and hang it in every corner."
- Six months later I see him in Europe,
- and I said,
- "How is your love life?"
- "Great! They just call me,
- they want to date me."
- "Because that' s your wish."
- "Now I have like three dates a week.
- They're fighting over me."
- "Good on you."
- "But I really want to stabilize
- a little bit.
- I want marriage, I want romance."
- "Well, paint it, okay."
- So he painted a beautiful
- romantic relationship,
- and a year later he got married,
- and he's very happy.
- Because he put another wish out.
- But he wished it in himself
- for years,
- but it did not happen
- because his wish could not
- manifest because the outer
- level of himself, his house,
- was just contradicting himself
- all the time.
- So if you know this knowledge,
- you should start playing with it.
- Inside relationships, it' s important
- to first understand who' s
- coming into the relationship.
- And I don't mean about your partner,
- I mean about you.
- How can you ever expect anyone else
- to enjoy your company,
- if you don't enjoy your own company?
- And so, again,
- the law of attraction
- or the Secret,
- is about bringing that
- into your life,
- and you've got to get
- really, really clear.
- Here's the question I would
- to ask you to consider;
- do you treat yourself
- the way you want other people
- to treat you?
- You become the solution for you.
- Don't like,
- "Now you owe me and you need
- to give me more'.
- Instead, give more to yourself.
- Take time off to give to yourself,
- in a sense to fill yourself up
- to fullness,
- to where now you can
- overflow in giving.
- I got into many relationships
- expecting my partner
- to show me my beauty.
- I needed to see him showing
- me my beauty,
- because I didn't feel beautiful.
- Because when I was growing
- up my she-roes
- were Charlie' s angels,
- or the Bionic Woman,
- Wonder Woman.
- And though they were
- wonderful women,
- none of them looked like me.
- It wasn't until I stopped,
- and I fell in love with Lisa
- - full lips, round hips, mocha skin, afro-
- that the rest of the world
- began to fall in love with Lisa.
- There's something so
- magnificent about you.
- I have been studying me
- for 44 years, mwa!
- I wanna kiss myself!
- Because you're gonna get
- to love yourself.
- I'm not talking about conceit.
- I'm talking about a healthy
- respect for yourself.
- And as you love yourself,
- you'll love others.
- Sometimes people will say,
- "Those people at work are
- so negative," or
- "The man that I live with
- is so angry,"
- or "My children are so
- worrisome to me,"
- and we say,
- you must orient yourself
- to the best part of those
- people who surround you.
- We encourage that you
- get a notebook
- and you make a list of
- the positive aspects
- of the people that you spend
- a lot of time with.
- There could be someone that you
- have a terrible experience with,
- a terrible relationship with,
- and in the privacy of
- your own mind,
- and with quite a bit of
- work we will admit,
- as you focus upon the things
- that you like most,
- those people will become that,
- mostly, to you.
- And even though you can not
- create in their reality,
- If they are in a mood
- or an attitude
- that doesn't match
- the mood or attitude that
- you have about them,
- they'll zig while you zag.
- Law of attraction will not put
- you in the same space together.
- Your frequencies don't match up.
- If you knew your potential
- to feel good,
- you would ask no one to be
- different so that you can feel good.
- You would free yourself
- of all of that
- cumbersome impossibility
- of needing to control the world,
- or control your mate,
- or control your child.
- For no-one else can
- think for you.
- No one else can do it.
- It is only you.
- Every bit of it you.
- It's important to recognize
- that our body
- is really the product
- of our thoughts.
- We're beginning to understand
- in medical science
- the degree to which the nature
- of thoughts and emotions
- actually determines the physical
- substance and structure
- and function of our bodies.
- We've known in the healing arts,
- of a placebo affect.
- A placebo is something that supposedly
- has no impact and no
- effect on the body,
- like a sugar pill or something.
- You tell the patient
- that this is just as effective,
- and what happens is the placebo
- has the same effect
- if not greater effect,
- than sometimes the medication
- that is supposed to be
- designed for that effect.
- So they found out that the
- human mind is the biggest factor
- in the healing arts.
- More so than sometimes
- the medication.
- If somebody is in a situation
- where they're sick,
- and they have an alternative
- to try to explore
- what is in their mind creating it,
- versus using medicine,
- if it's an acute situation
- that could really bring
- death to them,
- then obviously the medicine
- is a wise thing to do,
- while they explore what
- the mind is about.
- So you don't want to
- negate medicine.
- Every form of healing
- has a place.
- There is only a stream of well being
- that flows, you know.
- It is a stream of
- pure positive energy.
- And the Universe,
- all that we know,
- is abundant with only that.
- This is a world that is
- based upon wellbeing
- and wellbeing dramatically abounds.
- And when you are allowing
- that stream to flow,
- in its fullness,
- you feel very, very good.
- And when you are pinching it
- off a bit,
- you feel not so good.
- There is only a stream of
- goodness or wellbeing
- which you are allowing or not.
- And your magnificent emotions
- are telling you
- what the mix is.
- How you're doing in your allowing
- or your resisting of
- this connection.
- You know people who have
- had terminal disease.
- Stop and think of the
- word "dis-ease'.
- Hyphenate the word.
- That's a body that' s
- not at ease.
- We've got a thousand different
- diagnosis and disease out there.
- They're just the weak link.
- They're all the result of one thing.
- Stress.
- And you put enough stress
- on the chain
- and you put enough stress
- on the system
- and one of the links breaks.
- Our physiology creates disease
- to give us feedback,
- to let us know
- we have an imbalanced perspective
- and we're not loving,
- and we're not grateful.
- So the body signs and symptoms
- Are not something terrible.
- The question is frequently asked
- is when a person has
- manifested a disease
- in the body temple,
- or some kind of discomfort
- in their life,
- through the power of right thinking
- can it be turned around?
- And the answer is absolutely yes.
- On November 23rd I was diagnosed
- with breast cancer.
- I truly believed in my heart,
- with my strong faith,
- that I was already healed.
- During the day, all day long,
- I would just say,
- "Thank you for my healing."
- On and on and on I went.
- "Thank you for my healing."
- I believed in my heart I was healed.
- I saw myself as if cancer
- was never in my body.
- One of the things I did to heal myself
- was to watch very funny movies.
- That's all we would do is
- just laugh, laugh, laugh.
- We couldn't afford to put any
- stress in my life,
- because we knew stress was
- one of the worst things
- you can do while you're
- trying to heal yourself.
- From the time I was diagnosed,
- which was November 23rd,
- to the time I was healed, totally
- was approximately three months.
- And that's without
- radiation or chemotherapy.
- We come with a basic program.
- It's called self-healing.
- You get a wound,
- it grows back together.
- You get a bacterial infection,
- the immune system comes and takes care
- of those bacteria and heals it up.
- The immune system is made
- to heal itself.
- Disease cannot live
- in a body that' s in a healthy
- emotional state.
- Your body is casting off millions
- of cells every second,
- and it's creating millions
- of new cells.
- In fact literally, parts of our
- body are replaced every day.
- Other parts take a few months,
- other parts a couple of years.
- But within a few years
- we have a brand new physical body.
- If you have a dis-ease,
- and you're focusing on it
- and you're talking to
- people about it,
- you're going to create more dis-eased cells.
- See yourself living in a
- perfectly healthy body.
- Let the doctor look
- after the dis-ease.
- Can you feel the difference between having
- painful arthritis in your hips
- and feeling fearful about it,
- or having painful arthritis
- in your hips
- and feeling hopeful about it?
- The difference between fearful and hopeful,
- is the difference between recovery or not.
- Happier thoughts lead to essentially
- a happier biochemistry.
- A happier, healthier body.
- Negative thoughts, stress,
- have been shown to
- seriously degrade the body and
- the functioning of the brain,
- because it' s our thoughts and emotions
- that are continuously reassembling,
- reorganising, recreating, our body.
- Remove physiological stress
- from the body,
- and the body does what it
- was designed to do.
- It heals itself.
- I've seen kidneys regenerated,
- I've seen cancer dissolved,
- I've seen eyesight improve
- and come back.
- I always say that incurable means
- curable from within.
- You can change your life
- and you can heal yourself.
- Well, my story begins on
- March the 10th 1981.
- It really changed my whole life.
- It was a day I'll never forget.
- I crashed an airplane.
- I ended up in the hospital
- completely paralysed.
- My spinal chord was crushed,
- I broke the first and second
- cervical vertebrae,
- my swallowing reflex was destroyed,
- I couldn't eat or drink,
- my diaphragm was destroyed,
- I couldn't breathe.
- All I could do was blink my eyes.
- The doctors, of course, said all my
- life I'd be a vegetable.
- All I'd do is blink my eyes
- the rest of my life.
- That's the picture they saw of me,
- but it didn't matter what they thought.
- The main thing was what I thought,
- I pictured myself being a normal person
- again, walking out of that hospital.
- The only thing I had to work with
- in the hospital was my mind,
- and once you have your mind,
- you can put things back
- together again.
- I was hooked to a respirator
- and they said
- I'd never breathe on my own again
- because my diaphragm was destroyed.
- But this little voice kept
- saying to me,
- "Breathe deep, breathe deep."
- And finally I was
- weaned from it.
- They were at a loss for
- an explanation.
- See I could not afford to allow
- anything to come into my mind
- that would distract me
- from my goal and
- from my vision.
- Well I'd set the goal to walk out
- of the hospital on Christmas.
- That was my goal.
- Eight months later I walked out
- of the hospital on my own two feet.
- They said it couldn't be done.
- That's a day I will never forget.
- For people that are sitting out there
- right now watching this program,
- that are hurting
- if I wanted to sum up my life
- and sum up for people what
- they can do in life,
- I would sum it up this way
- in six words;
- "Man becomes what he thinks about.'
- We notice there are so
- many people who are
- living life in a very
- conditional way.
- They look out and they see things
- that are wonderful,
- and they say, "Yes, we want more of
- those, we would vote for that,
- we would support that with our
- time and energy and money".
- But then they look out and they
- see things that they do not want.
- Terrible things, that they
- do not want to live.
- And that they do not want
- to see others live,
- and they say, "We've got to do something
- about getting rid of those things".
- But they don't realise
- that as they push against
- the unwanted,
- they add power to it.
- In this world there is
- a war against poverty,
- and a war against cancer,
- and a war against teenage pregnancy,
- and a war against terrorism,
- and a war against violence
- and a war against terrorism.
- Did we mention that there' s
- a war against terrorism?
- And all of this pushing against
- is only adding to,
- because you can't say, "no" and make
- it go away, when you shout, "no!"
- Law of Attraction is lining that up.
- The reason that what
- you resist persists,
- is because if you're resisting something,
- you're saying, "no I don't
- want this thing,
- because it makes me feel
- this way,
- the way I'm feeling right now",
- so you're just putting out this
- really strong emotion of,
- "Wow I really don't like this feeling," and it's
- there,
- it just comes racing towards you.
- You know the anti-war movement
- creates more war.
- The anti-drug movement has actually
- created more drugs.
- Because we're focussing on
- what we don't want; drugs.
- People will say, "Well shouldn't I focus upon
- that? That is true,"
- and we say,
- that is like saying, because someone
- gave their attention
- to something they did not want,
- long enough that now it
- is manifested,
- I should do it too.
- And we say, we don't really
- understand that reasoning.
- Mother Theresa was brilliant;
- she said,
- "I will never attend an anti-war rally.
- If you have a peace rally, invite me."
- You know, she knew.
- She understood the secret.
- I mean look what she manifested
- in the world.
- So if you're anti-war,
- be pro-peace.
- If you're anti-hunger,
- be pro-people having more
- than enough to eat.
- If you are anti-a particular politician,
- be pro-his opponent.
- Often elections are tipped in
- the favour of the person
- that the people are really against
- because he's getting all the
- energy and all the focus.
- You want to focus on
- what you want, not what
- you don't want.
- It's ok to notice what
- you don't want,
- because that gives you contrast to say,
- "well this is what I do want".
- But the fact is,
- the more you talk about
- what you don't want,
- or talk about how bad it is,
- read about all of that all the time
- and then say how terrible it is,
- well you're creating more of that.
- You know, so many times
- people say to me,
- "Well James, I have to be informed".
- Maybe you have to be informed.
- But you don't have
- to be inundated.
- Learn to become still,
- and to take your attention away
- from what you don't want,
- and all the emotional charge
- around it,
- and place the attention on
- what you wish to experience.
- I always say when the voice and the vision
- on the inside,
- become more profound,
- and more clear and loud,
- than the opinions on the outside,
- you've mastered your life.
- You're not here to try to get the world
- to be just like you want it to be.
- You are here to create the world
- around you that you choose,
- while you allow the world
- as others choose it to be
- to exist also.
- One of the questions I get
- asked all the time
- and its probably on somebody's mind
- right now if its not on yours,
- and that's the idea that if well,
- "If everyone uses The Secret,
- and they all treat the universe
- like a catalogue,
- aren't we going to run
- out of stuff?
- Won't everyone just make a run for it and
- bust the bank?"
- What's so beautiful about the
- teaching of the great secret
- is that there' s more than enough
- to go around for everyone.
- There is a lie
- that acts like a virus within
- the mind of humanity.
- And that lie is,
- there's not enough good to go around.
- There's lack and there' s limitation
- and there' s just not enough.
- That lie,
- has people living in fear,
- greed, stinginess,
- and those thoughts of fear,
- greed, stinginess and lack,
- become their experience.
- So the world has taken
- a nightmare pill.
- Now the truth is,
- there's more than enough
- good to go around.
- There's more than enough
- creative ideas,
- there's more than enough power,
- there's more than enough love,
- there's more than enough joy.
- All of this begins to come
- through a mind
- that is aware of its
- own infinite nature.
- Every great teacher who has
- ever walked the planet
- has told us that life
- was meant to be abundant.
- And so, just when we think
- that resources are dwindling,
- we find new resources to
- achieve the same things.
- So even though we say we have lack,
- it's because we don't open up our vision
- and see all of what is around us.
- You know when everyone starts
- to live from their heart,
- and go for what they want.
- They don't go for the same things.
- That's the beauty of this...
- We don't want BMWs.
- We don't all want the same person.
- We don't all want
- the same experiences.
- We don't all want
- the same clothing.
- We don't all want the...
- fill in the blank.
- There's enough for everyone.
- If you believe it,
- if you can see it,
- if you act from it.
- It'll show up for you.
- That's the truth.
- So let the variety of
- your reality thrill you,
- as you get to choose from among it,
- those things that you're wanting.
- And when you see something that
- you want in your experience,
- think about it.
- Find the feeling place of it.
- Get inside of it.
- Talk about it and write it down.
- Write a script about it.
- Make it your reality
- by becoming a match to it.
- And when you see those things that
- you are not wanting in your experience,
- do not talk about them.
- Don not write about them.
- Don't join groups that
- worry about them.
- Don't push against them.
- Do your best to ignore them.
- Remove your attention from the
- things that you do not want,
- while you give your undivided attention
- to the things that you do want.
- Most of the leaders in the past
- missed the great part of the Secret,
- which is empowering and
- sharing with others.
- This is the best time to have
- ever been alive in history.
- It's the first time we've
- ever had the power
- to gain knowledge at our fingertips.
- When we look around us,
- even at our own bodies,
- what we see is the tip
- of the iceberg.
- Think of this for a moment.
- Take your hand and look at it.
- Now your hand looks solid,
- but it's really not.
- If you put it under a
- proper microscope,
- you'd see a mass of energy vibrating.
- Everything is made up of
- the exact same thing,
- whether it' s your hand,
- whether it' s the ocean,
- or whether it' s a star.
- Everything is energy,
- and let me help you understand
- that just a little bit.
- There's the Universe,
- of course,
- and our galaxy
- and our planet
- and then individuals,
- and then inside of this body
- are organ systems
- and then there' s cells
- and then there' s molecules
- and then there' s atoms,
- and then there is energy.
- So there are a lot of levels
- to talk about something on.
- I don't care what city
- you're living in,
- you've got enough power
- in your body, potential power,
- to illuminate the whole city
- for nearly a week.
- Most people define themselves
- by this finite body,
- but you're not a finite body.
- I mean, even under a microscope
- you're an energy field.
- What we know about energy is this.
- You go to a quantum physicist and you say
- "What creates the world?"
- And he or she will say,
- "Energy."
- Well describe energy.
- Okay, it can never be
- created or destroyed,
- it always was, always has been,
- everything that ever existed always exists,
- it's moving into form,
- through form and out of form.
- Okay great.
- You go to a theologian and
- you ask the question,
- "What created the Universe?"
- And he or she will say, "God".
- Okay, describe God.
- Always was and always has been,
- never can be created or destroyed,
- all that ever was, always will be,
- always moving into form,
- through form and out of form.
- You see, it' s the same description,
- just different terminology.
- And so, if you think you're this
- meat suit running around,
- think again.
- You're a spiritual being,
- you're an energy field, operating
- in a larger energy field.
- We're all connected.
- We just don't see it.
- There isn't an out there
- and an in here.
- Everything in the universe is connected;
- it is just one energy field.
- You are extensions of
- Source energy.
- You are here in these magnificent bodies,
- but your bodies have
- distracted you for the most part
- from who you really are.
- You are Source energy...
- You are eternal beings,
- you are God force.
- You are that which
- you call God.
- Scripturally we could say that we are
- the image and the likeness of God.
- We could say we are another way
- that the Universe is
- becoming conscious of itself.
- We could say that we are
- the infinite field of
- unfolding possibility.
- All of that would be true.
- Every great tradition
- has told you,
- that you were created in the image
- and the likeness of the creative source.
- That means that you have
- God potential and power
- to create your world,
- and you are, you are.
- And maybe you've created
- things to this point
- that are wonderful
- and worthy of you,
- and maybe you haven't.
- The question I'd ask
- you to consider is,
- do the results you have in your life,
- are they what you really want,
- and are they worthy of you?
- If they're not worthy or you,
- then when would now,
- be the right time to change those,
- because you have the
- power to do that.
- You know, a lot of people feel
- like they're victims in life,
- and they'll often point
- to past events,
- perhaps growing up with
- an abusive parent or
- in a dysfunctional family.
- And I would add as a
- parenthesis here,
- that most psychologists believe that
- about 85% of families are dysfunctional,
- so it's like, all of a sudden
- you're not so unique.
- My parents were alcoholics.
- My dad abused me, my mother
- divorced him when I was six.
- From the age of thirteen to eighteen
- I was involved in street gangs.
- I had a, severe motorcycle accident.
- I was homeless at one point
- in Dallas.
- I lived in poverty for
- fifteen years in Houston.
- When I was a child I had
- learning difficulties
- and I was considered
- learning disabled
- and I was told I would never
- read write or communicate,
- never amount to anything,
- not go very far in life.
- I mean, that' s almost everybody' s
- story in some form or not.
- So that's just called,
- "so what".
- The real "what" is,
- what are you going to do now?
- What do you choose now?
- Because you can either
- keep focusing on that,
- or you can focus on
- what you want.
- And when people start focusing
- on what they want,
- what they don't want falls away.
- And that part expands,
- and the other part disappears.
- We are wanting you to
- come to the place
- where you are beginning to offer
- your thought deliberately,
- where you're guiding your
- thoughts on purpose,
- where you are the creator
- of your own experience
- because you are the manager
- of your own thoughts.
- The beautiful thing about
- the law of attraction is
- that you can begin
- where you are,
- and you can begin to think,
- real thinking,
- and you can begin to generate
- within yourself
- a feeling tone of harmony and happiness.
- The law will begin to
- respond to that.
- So now you start to
- have different beliefs,
- like there is more than enough
- in the Universe.
- Or you have the belief that
- everything goes right for me.
- Or you have the belief that,
- I'm not getting older,
- I'm getting younger.
- We can create it the
- way we want it,
- by using the law of attraction.
- And you can break yourself free
- from your hereditary patterns,
- cultural codes,
- social beliefs,
- and prove once and for all
- that the power within you
- is greater than the power
- that's in the world.
- Some of you may be thinking,
- "Well that's very nice,
- but I can't do that," or
- "She wont let me do that!" or
- "He'll never let me do that," or
- "I haven't got enough money
- to do that!" or
- "I'm not strong enough to do that," or
- "I'm not rich enough to do that,"
- or "I'm not, I'm not, I'm not,
- I'm not, I'm not, I'm not!".
- Every single "I'm not", is a creation.
- Are there any limits to this?
- Absolutely not.
- We are unlimited beings.
- We have no ceiling.
- The capabilities and the talents
- and the gifts and the power
- that is within every single individual
- that is on this planet,
- is unlimited.
- There is no blackboard
- in the sky
- on which God has
- written your purpose;
- your mission in life.
- There's no blackboard in
- the sky that says,
- "Neale Donald Walsch...
- a handsome guy...
- who lived in the first part of the
- twenty-first century who,
- colon.
- And then there' s a blank,
- you know.
- And all I have to do to really
- understand what I'm doing here,
- why I'm here,
- is to find that blackboard
- and find out what God really
- has in mind for me.
- But the blackboard doesn't exist.
- So your purpose is
- what you say it is,
- your mission is the
- mission you give yourself.
- Your life will be
- what you create it as,
- and no-one will stand
- in judgment of it, now or ever.
- It took a lot of years
- for me to get this,
- because I grew up very much
- with this idea that, you know,
- there was something I was
- supposed to do,
- and if I wasn't doing it
- I was like,
- God wouldn't be happy
- with me, you know.
- And when I really got
- that my primary aim
- was to feel and experience joy,
- then I began to do only those
- things which brought me joy.
- We have a saying, you know,
- "If it 'aint fun, don't do it", you know.
- Joy, love, freedom,
- happiness, laughter.
- That's what it is.
- And if you just experience joy
- sitting there and meditating for an hour,
- by golly, do that.
- If you experience joy eating
- a salami sandwich,
- then do that.
- When I pet my cat
- I'm in a state of joy,
- when I walk in nature
- I'm in a state of joy.
- So I want to constantly
- put myself in that state.
- And when I do that,
- then all I have to do is have
- the intention of what I want,
- and what I want manifests.
- So inner happiness actually is
- the fuel of success.
- Anything that makes you feel good
- is always going to be drawing in more.
- You are listening to this
- program right now.
- It's you that drew
- this into your life,
- and it's your choice whether you
- want to take it and utilise it.
- If it feels good,
- if it doesn't feel good,
- then you know, let it go.
- Find something that feels good,
- that resonates with your heart.
- Joseph Campbell said,
- "Follow your bliss."
- We think those are the best words we have
- ever heard spoken from a human tongue...
- and if one could
- follow one' s bliss,
- you would follow the trail
- to abundance and well-being
- on all subjects.
- Enjoy life with us.
- Because life is phenomenal.
- It's a magnificent trip.
- You will live in a different reality,
- a different life.
- And people will look at you and say,
- "What do you do different from me?"
- Well the only thing
- that is different
- is that you work
- with the Secret.
- And then you can do and
- have and be things that
- people once said that' s
- impossible for you
- for you to do and
- have and be.
- We're really now moving
- into a new era.
- It's the era where the last frontier
- is not space,
- as Star Trek would say,
- but it's going to be mind.
- I see a future of
- unbounded potential.
- Unbounded possibilities.
- Remember we're using at most 5%
- of the potential of the human mind.
- 100% human potential, is the
- result of proper education,
- so imagine a world where
- people were using
- their full mental and
- emotional potential.
- We could go anywhere.
- We could do anything.
- Achieve anything.
- See yourself with the
- good that you desire.
- Every religious book
- tells us that.
- Every great book on Philosophy.
- Every great leader.
- All the avatars who
- have ever lived.
- Go back and study
- the wise ones.
- Many of them have been presented
- to you in this program.
- You know what?
- They all understood one thing.
- They understood the Secret.
- Now you understand it.
- And the more you use it,
- the more you'll understand it.
- You may be feeling that it would be
- easier to be hearing these words
- if they had come to you the first day
- of your experience upon this earth.
- And if we were talking to you
- on your first day of
- physical life experience,
- we would say to you,
- Welcome to planet Earth.
- There is nothing that you cannot be
- or do or have.
- You are magnificent creator,
- and you are here by your powerful
- and deliberate wanting to be here.
- Go forth,
- giving thought to what
- you are wanting,
- attracting life experience
- to help you decide what you want,
- and once you have decided,
- giving thought only unto that.
- Most of your time will be
- spent collecting data,
- data that will help you decide
- what it is you want.
- But your real work
- is to decide what you want
- and then to focus upon it.
- For it is through focusing
- upon what you want
- you will attract it.
- That is the process of creating.
- I believe that you're great.
- That there's something magnificent about
- you.
- Regardless of what has
- happened to you in your life.
- Regardless of how young or how old,
- you think you might be.
- The moment you began to think properly,
- there's something that is within you,
- there's power within you
- that's greater than the world.
- It will begin to emerge.
- It will take over your life.
- It will feed you,
- it will clothe you.
- It will guide you, protect you.
- Direct you.
- Sustain your very existence,
- if you let it.
- Now that is what I know for sure.
- Be easy about this.
- Have fun with it.
- There is nothing you are supposed to do,
- only that which you want to do.
