Bob Proctor has known “The Secret” for Decades

Bob Proctor Has Known The Secret For Decades
By Karen Giardunio

If any one out there is wondering how Bob Proctor discovered “The Secret” the answer is: The same way Rhonda Byrne – the creator of the hit movie of the same title found it…they both came across the Wallace Wattles book written in the early 1900s entitled “The Science of Getting Rich”! If you go to the website that takes it’s name from that masterpiece, you can download a free copy for yourself without any strings attached. I know this to be so because I have lead many of my closest friends to that site myself, and they all have later thanked me -and I have downloaded it for my own personal use as well because a close friend passed on the website to me.

The book proves to be not only a quick read, but if taken seriously – it can also transform your life much the same way as it has for Rhonda and Bob.  When Bob was given the book in the 1960s he was earning only $7,000.00 a year and was $8,000.00 in debt. As he began to understand this science, he changed his life to the tune of earning over $100,000.00 the first year he applied the instructions found within Mr.Wattles book!  Rhonda went from her life -both professionally and personally -falling apart and being in danger of losing the production company she had devoted the last 10 years of her life to -to making a hit movie that even Oprah Winfrey herself touted her support of by dedicating not 1 but 2 shows to! The idea of “The Law of Attraction” expanded upon in “The Secret” is how these individuals (Oprah included) brought wealth and prosperity into their own lives. How’s that for a reason to change the way you think and react to what is happening in your life?

Bob Proctor believed in the book so much that he too passed it on to any of his friends who showed an interest in his sudden windfall of luck and wealth. To his amazement, while his life continued to change and he continued to evoke more and more prosperity and fortune, some of the very same people he had presented the book to -did nothing -and nothing in their lives changed as it had for Bob! When he first became aware of this fact, he then realized that action and faith, gratitude and awareness where some of the key factors in realizing ones greatest desires! He has spent the last 4 decades telling people how to apply what has been dubbed as “The Law of Attraction” and he covers it quite thoroughly in “The Secret”.

Bob also advocates utilizing “Multiple Sources of Income” which he explains in an audio CD he made entitled “What Would You Change If Your Annual Income…Suddenly Became Your Monthly Income?” One of the ways he suggests doing so -is Network Marketing. He has launched his own organization –along with his fellow “Secret”- Affiliate Jack Canfield (of the famed “Chicken Soup For The Soul” book series) to bring in people to help them learn what he has come to understand in all the years that he has dedicated himself to helping others succeed, while utilizing the Internet to create their own wealth in the process.

If you are a fan of any of the people mentioned in this article or to the ideas therein, you may want to take the time yourself to research and apply what they openly have to share with you. There are many ways to succeed in life, but I for one believe in duplicating the actions and behaviors of those who have succeeded in their own lives. Why reinvent the wheel? If you don’t have the answers to the questions you’ve been asking, it may not only be worth your time and effort…it may very well change your life too!

Karen Giardunio is a single mother who resides in the mountains just north or Boulder Colorado. Throuh the power of the sweeping concept of “The Law Of Attraction!” she was able to personally connect herself with one of the leading experts in the field of Internet Marketing. It is through this great mentor that she has begun to change her life and obtain an unlimited wealth of knowlege and understanding of the need to share and serve others in order to obtain her own hearts desires. So, she now offers frustrated Network Marketers that are looking for more ways to make money while learning how to win at the recruiting game to accomplish those goals.  Now you can take control of your own life by creating a secondary income helping others succeed. Even if you don’t currently belong to an MLM business -or if you already do. All without ever calling a single lead again. This stuff works whether any one joins your down line or not!

3 secrets To Living The Secret

3 Secrets To Living The Secret
By Mark C. Jones

‘ My philosophy is that not only are you responsible for your life, but doing the best at this moment puts you in the best place for the next moment.’

- Oprah Winfrey

From the moment Oprah did her broadcast (and then second show a week later) about the self-help phenom, The Secret, my office has been buzzing with talk about principles of this Law Of Attraction. In case you haven’t seen the Oprah show or watched The Secret DVD, you can sum up the teaching as: your thoughts become your reality. The emphasis is on using positive thought and positive imagery to direct one’s life in a new more meaningful and fulfilling way.

I believe over-generalizing things in this way can lead to some confusion. So, here are my three secrets for using The Secret to your advantage.

1. The Law of Attraction must live in harmony with the other laws of the universe.

I am convinced the Law of Attraction is real and it works. After years of sitting with people and discussing their problems, I know the opposite way of living does not work. I have seen dramatic changes in my office when people leave the land of negativity. So, I am a whole-hearted supporter of anyone who wishes to practice the Law of Attraction. It does change lives!

I’m not interested in debating whether there is hard science to back this up, we might not be able to prove that there are real ‘energy’ changes happening, as some of the teachers of this idea claim. However, there is proof that the Law Of Attraction works psychologically. In clinical terms, the principles of The Secret are called cognitive behavioral therapy. It is one of the most well researched types of psychotherapy and the one form of counseling that has been proven effective in daily real-world practice. I am not talking about positive thinking, this is the actual restructuring of your cognition — the way you think.

So, at the very least, we can call the Law of Attraction a psychological law that has been proven to work by science. But, it may be too much to say it causes a change to your physical reality. We should remind ourselves that all universal laws work in harmony. The Law of Attraction is not going to cancel out the Law of Gravity, even though I would love to crawl walls like Spider-man.

What will The Secrect enable you to cancel out? The Secret will cancel out are the horrible effects of cognitive distortions that lead to depression, anxiety, and the myriad of other psychological illnesses that plague us. That in turn could lead to healthier bodies and minds. Those small changes can snowball into a cascade of good things, so much so, that we can claim our lives have changed.

2. We must live in the field of possibility all the time.

The great Sufi poet Rumi says, ‘Out beyond ideas of wrongdoing and rightdoing, there is a field. I’ll meet you there.’ This is the field the Law of Attraction pushes us towards while the critics debate. The alternative is to wait and decide - is this right - is it o.k. to use this law in my life? But another great writer, Virginia Woolf can help us there. She says, ‘To let oneself be carried on passively is unthinkable!’ We may not know how this new way of living works, we may not know how it interacts with other laws, but we can not sit and wait when it calls out to be used - and our souls respond in excited anticipation. We must act!

We can be assured what does not work. Giving up responsibility for our happiness is a dead end. Living full of despair and ingratitude weakens us. Visualizing all our worst fears coming true ignites a strange process of self-sabotage.

Attracting the life you long for is more harmonious in every way. As Michael Ignatieff says, ‘One of the greatest feelings in life is the conviction that you have lived the life you wanted to live — with the rough and the smooth, good and the bad — but yours, shaped by your own choices, and not someone else’s.’ This is the life of many successful people in a nutshell. Move towards the field of possibility and it could be yours as well!

3. Try it out - does it work for you?

If you are debating whether using the Law of Attraction really works, stop the debate today. See what is possible. Start using postive thoughts and positive images of the future to attract a new positive life. Pick one goal. Rehearse your visualization process daily. Shift all of your emotion and thought so that you are actually experiencing the goal coming true. Repeat this for 30 days until you have a concrete answer. Maybe this Secret will work for you?.

The Secret Behind The Secret

Today we’ll start with a guest article.

“The Secret Behind The Secret”
By Susan Fuller

As The Secret streaks across the planet with dizzying speed, this seems like a good time to revisit this thing called ‘The Law of Attraction’.

Clever marketing aside, ‘The Law of Attraction’ is real and is operating in our lives at all times. It only takes paying the slightest bit of attention to see that.  Why then, is it such a problem for so many people to achieve what they want in life?

Almost everything written about ‘The Law of Attraction’ has focused on thoughts as the primary means of attracting or repelling. That’s true too, but it’s not the whole story.

If it were that easy to create financial abundance, happy relationships, great sex lives, and unlimited creativity, don’t you think we’d all be doing it by now?

Yet every book on achieving your goals and attracting what you want continues the story line about thoughts…that’s it…change your thoughts…gain a new perspective, and it will all come around, right? I don’t think so!

Here’s the rub…changing your conscious thoughts is not enough, because what’s got you down are your unconscious thoughts, feelings and beliefs. This unconscious part of our psyches plays us like puppets and will sabotage conscious thoughts every time…guaranteed.

The key here is to understand the power of unconscious thought. In Jungian psychology, the shadow refers to all thoughts, feelings and beliefs residing in the unconscious…not just the ‘bad’ stuff as commonly believed, but whatever has been relegated to the unconscious, for whatever reason.

This is the real secret…it’s this stew of unconscious ramblings that are at the root of our ability to attract what we want or not.

Jung also said that something like 95% of the human shadow is pure gold when brought to light. Unfortunately, most of us are still afraid of the dark. We assume what we’ll find in any mining expedition into the unconscious, is sludge, so most of us expend vast amounts of energy avoiding the journey when, in fact, that’s exactly where we need to go.

It’s when we begin to mine the thoughts, feelings and beliefs, lurking below the surface that we can dramatically change our lives. By examining this material, we can decide what to keep and what to toss.  We can decide how to make meaning out of our life experience, and we can bring our conscious and unconscious thoughts, feelings and beliefs into alignment instead of playing an ongoing game of tug of war.

By making the unconscious conscious, we diffuse the conflict between the two. The impact is like charging up ‘The Law of Attraction’ with rocket fuel, allowing us to break free of the gravitational pull of the unconscious beliefs and fears that hold us back.

Are you ready to really get what you want in life? If the answer is yes, then it’s time to take a little journey below the surface, so you can fully embrace The Secret.

************

Some useful tools for the journey are…

1. Pay attention to your dreams.

Dreams provide a snapshot of what’s really going on in the psyche. Yes, understanding them can be tricky because they use symbols with multiple layers of meaning. Writing down your dreams and writing about what they mean to you can go a long way towards demystifying their meaning. Keep a notebook and pen beside your bed and write them down in the morning. If you don’t remember dreams, ask for them to reveal themselves before you go to sleep.

2. Meditate.

Meditation allows us to listen deeply. Frequently intuitive insights emerge in the quiet of meditation. Meditation teaches us to observe without judgment whatever emerges in our consciousness.

3. Write.

The process of writing informs our thoughts. It’s not uncommon to begin with a germ of an idea thinking we’re going in one direction only to find ourselves landing in a completely different place. This is true whether we’re doing stream of consciousness journaling or writing fiction or essays. The process of writing sheds light on many thoughts that are sitting just below the surface.

4. Make art.

Art is the ultimate process to make the unconscious, conscious. To a very large extent, that’s its purpose…to inform us about ourselves as individuals, as societies and as a planetary culture. This is true whether you think of yourself as an artist or not. It does not it matter much what medium you use…crayons, paints, pencils, collage, dance, acting…it all serves the same purpose…to bring the unconscious into the light.

5. Use affirmations.

Yes, affirmations are positive thoughts that don’t work very well unless there is a feeling connected to the thought, so I’d encourage you to use positive feeling statements as your affirmations.

This use of affirmations is totally consistent with The Secret, but I would suggest you take it a step further. Pay attention to the critical reactions coming up in response to the affirmation. In The Artist’s Way, Julia Cameron calls these responses “blurts” and suggests you take the blurts and turn them into positive statements. Using this technique, you’re able to drill down deeply into the thoughts, feelings and beliefs that are keeping you stuck.

She is a visual artist. writer, and entrepreneur,  who has taught The Artist’s Way for over a decade, and recently introduced the Creatives Cafe Coaching Group and the Creatives Café Online Membership, where “creatives” come together to take creative action.
