Ok, the recent hype over The Secret on Oprah had me thinking I was in the twilight zone. I have for the past two years been chasing down this theory. It all started when I read Joel Osteen's book, Your Best Life Now. Though his is a Christian perspective on self improvement, many of his tenets in his book follow closely the various issues discussed in The Secret dvd. We all know there are no such things as coincidences...or rather those of us who love Jung think that way. Well a guy who I work with, now a good friend, handed me some cd's from a Dr. Wayne Dyer...low and behold, his topic is the Power of Intention, whose basis lies in the Law of Attraction. That same day I listened to the cd's Oprah has on the people from The Secret DVD. I felt like I had come to a major cross roads in life...the universe, God was definitely shouting something at me. I got The Secret DVD and watched it. It was like the world came rushing into focus, and I suddenly began to GET IT.
I immediately ordered another book called Ask and It is Given by Esther and Jerry Hicks. Their book has definitely helpful strategies for overcoming resistance. I am thrilled with it so far.
So along with my poetry, and ramblings, I'd also like to use my blog as a testament to the teachings of all these folks. I have some stories I'll post soon that show how it "works". I believe in it so much, I keep telling my friends and family about it in the hopes that someone else will join me in it. It's not a bloody cult or anything, and you could argue that positive thinking and visualization are just good psychology, but it's the element of FAITH that is always missing from all the other paths to achievement and self improvement.
So, more later on all that...ciao for now.
