The Real Secret
April 17th 2007 05:22
I am glad to report since my last blog entry that certain spiritual teachers have removed their name from a certain affiliate program that claims to give you the secret to getting rich. It only shows the integrity and substance of this person. I believe there is a lot going on right now and it is easy to get caught in the wave of the money that is flowing through the use of these spiritual principles. I would like to address that successful people throughout history have used some kind of spiritual principles to guide their thinking. I believe that there are plenty of principles to guide us in the right direction, but that we must also be aligned with our purpose and this goes to the heart of our values. My fear with people buying all the books and “secrets” to getting rich is that we must truly know ourselves and what we are made of to attain anything of any great value. To go out and try to manifest something like a million dollars without knowing why we want the money is useless and futile and will only lead to misery and not happiness. Too often we believe that money is the answer to all our problems when in reality it is only a symptom to deeper problems we may be facing. All that we see on the outside of us is but thoughts of things that we have imagined before. We can think of thoughts as causes and all that surrounds us as effects. Everything that surrounds us is something we have either created with our thoughts or allowed to happen. Think about this for awhile and you will soon see how we are responsible for our entire lives. This is a very important concept that I would like for people to understand because it is so powerful. It is also important to manifest or realize any goal for the simple reason that we are truly the creators of our lives. The reason behind this thought is this: If we truly believe and understand that we have created, by our thoughts the life that we currently have, we also understand that we have the power to undo it, re-create it, tear it down, and re-build it at will. This is difficult for some people to understand so I will state it another way. Everything that we have around us, for example the people, pets, cars, furniture, books, television, you name it is a direct result of our own (choice) of thoughts. We can choose the thoughts we think. Unless of course we are on automatic pilot as many people are in the world. We thought, hey I’m going to purchase that big screen TV, car, or hey I’m going to marry so and so, it was our decision. We created our life just as it is and we are totally responsible for all of its wonderfulness or not. We may be thinking, “Hey I didn’t choose to work in this crummy job.” It may seem like that at first, but upon further investigation we find, nobody is making us do anything. You could walk out of your job right this moment and never look back if you wanted! There is nothing holding you back. No handcuffs, not ropes, nor chains, just your own thinking. Now mind you there will be CONSEQUENCES. There are consequences for all of our thoughts and actions. Some of these we label GOOD and some BAD, but there is nothing stopping us. We either create the life we want for ourselves or we let it happen to us by default. Living a life by default is not being an active participant. If we are not happy with our results in our life, we must begin to change our thinking. We must take full responsibility for our life there is nobody to blame. There is no outside person, including our spouse, boss, friend, job, government, country, world to blame! Nobody to blame whatsoever because we know we are the conscious creators of our life. This is a very powerful principle because to know this is to be very powerful. This means nobody from the outside can dictate what you will think or feel. Understand this and you are well on your way to manifesting anything you want in your life. You will know the true secret of attaining what you want. Your power will come from within yourself and when you start to make those changes that are in your best interest you will start to attract those that are exactly like yourself. You will free yourself of the need to find approval from the outside or in what others would have for you and find what you would want for yourself. When you dictate to the world what you would have then the world responds and it is yours for the taking. Now mind you, if you have not thought this way before, it will take some time to get used to the idea that you are in control of your life, but start small with taking responsibility for things in your life. Take responsibility for the desirable and the not so desirable. You created it! If there is something you don’t like, own that you created it and that you too can think differently to change it. Try this for a while and watch your personal power grow!
