The Secret
Many people seeking self improvement have stumbled across the film The Secret.
The Secret is based entirely around the notion of harnessing the law of attraction and manifesting your desires by directing your thoughts and feelings towards what you want to experience in your life and thus materialising it into reality.
From my own experience there is truth to these mysterious and mystical magnetic energies of manifestation, in fact my understanding of the material world is that it is entirely of a kind of electro-magnetic energy.
Unfortunately the secret and most law of attraction teachings are fundamentally flawed in the sense that it is feeding into the same age old illusion that happiness is contained in things and attained through getting these things.
In attempting to reach for the best feeling thought or raise our frequency to the highest vibration or using imagination to visualize and attract our desires, we might be setting ourselves up for creating a bit of an internal struggle that runs a parallel with forms of addiction, avoidance of pain in the pursuit of pleasure.
In avoiding or attempting to subdue what we might call negative emotions they will continue to arise until they have been faced, felt through, and fully processed.
The bottom line is, the real magic is in peace with all that is here in the now and allowing life to unfold here.
A wiser man than myself once told me, "It's not about getting what you want, it's about wanting what you've got"
