The Worst Kept Secret
by Peter Roe
by Peter Roe
It must be the worst-kept 'secret' ever.
If you have spent even a little time investigating the possibilities of the world of personal development, you will probably already be aware that there is a 'great secret' - a secret that is hinted at in the Bible and in many other religious works, and which has been responsible for the exceptional lives of great men and women throughout history.
Until recently, this secret has supposedly been jealously guarded by those who possessed it, passed from generation to generation though various semi-religious sects and secret societies, and ruthlessly suppressed whenever it threatened to leak out to the common herd.
But thanks to the information-disseminating power of the Internet, this great secret is probably now known by more people than ever before.
This 'secret' is that your repeated thoughts and emotions can and will alter the path of your life, for better or for worse. This is 'manifestation' - the process of bringing into YOUR reality the things and the circumstances that feature most prominently in your mind (at both conscious and subconscious levels).
Not much of a 'secret' is it. Just type 'manifestation', 'affirmations' or 'law of attraction' into any search engine and you will be inundated with information (and sales pitches) on the subject. Many differing explanations for the phenomenon of manifestation will be offered, often involving quantum mechanics (the often strange behavior of 'quanta' - the tiny energy packets that make up our universe), holograms, parallel universes and so on, in much the same way that magnetism and electricity were invoked to explain anything mysterious in earlier times. But the fact is that no-one truly knows how this strange reality-shifting process works, and all the talk of quantum physics, holographic universes etc. is just that: - talk.
But despite all the pseudo-scientific 'explanations', manifestation WORKS, and so the actual mechanism by which it brings about results is of little direct importance. You do not need to understand frequency modulation to listen to a radio, or binary code to use your computer - and you do not need to know how manifestation works in order to use it in your daily life.
Manifestation works. But unfortunately it does not always work to the benefit of the manifestor. You can just as easily be a ‘victim’ of manifestation as a beneficiary, if this is the direction your thoughts lead to.
As we have seen, the basics are known by vast numbers of people but still only a tiny minority are able to regularly and consistently make use of the awesome power of this process to transform their lives for the better. So the REAL secret is not the raw fact that your thoughts become your reality, but exactly HOW you can use this information to bring about the changes in YOUR reality that you desire, whether these involve health, wealth, relationships or anything else.
The basics of deliberate manifestation are simple - the need to 'count your blessings' and feel gratitude for them regularly, to think only positive thoughts, to set clear and concise goals, to build and rehearse detailed 'multisensory' visualizations of the things and circumstances you want to bring into your life - but for most people, knowing this simply isn't enough.
In practice, virtually no-one can control their thought patterns for more than a few minutes, because conscious thoughts are largely driven by the subconscious belief system, which can be highly resistant to the changes sought by using affirmations, visualization or the host of similar methods suggested by most self-help gurus. And it is equally difficult to try to adopt more than momentarily positive emotional states such as gratitude, when all the time feelings of want, lack, anger or frustration are swirling up from your subconscious.
Such contradictory thoughts and emotions can and will slow down or even reverse the intended outcome, and in the final analysis most of us are 'results driven'. Unless an action is quickly rewarded by the results we seek, we tend to quietly discontinue efforts that appear to be going unrewarded - and move on to the next quick fix. So in the 'real world' (whatever that is!), for every glowing testimonial you read about how a particular system of manifestation has transformed a life, there will be nine or more others who did the same things but saw little or no benefit.
So if the ‘Law of Attraction’ is not working positively and beneficially for you, what can you do?
The answer is easy to say, but harder to do. You need to change the ‘beliefs’ stored in your subconscious mind so that they are congruent with the idea that you do have the power to change your circumstances. The rest follows more or less automatically.
Whether your chosen route to inner change is through affirmations and visualization, hypnosis or subliminals, ‘energy techniques’ or outright ‘magick’ does not matter. All that matters is that you change as quickly as possible those subconscious beliefs that are limiting your life so that you can begin exploring the wonderful world of personal power through synchronicity;- the positive face of ‘The Law of Attraction’.
