“We are at times too ready to believe that the present is the only possible state of things.”-Marcel Proust
Start Manifesting
The first time you watched or read the Secret did you think that this makes total sense? And say to yourself, I just knew it. This really is the way things are supposed to be. Life is supposed to be easy and joyful.
And based on what you saw or read you jumped right in and tried to manifest the very life you desire from the get go. And so you started trying to think positive and be positive about everything. You just knew that all your desires were being met and they were all on their way to you. Good news is you were right.
But after a few weeks or maybe months, you were still stuck in the same old life you had before. Nothing much had changed. And so you concluded that the law of attraction only works for those people who were in the Secret. And it doesn’t work for the average person.
Not Your Fault
You gave up, slipped back into your old habits of negativity, and became your own self-fulfilling prophecy. But really, it’s not your fault. You weren’t given the whole story. The Secret only told you a small portion of how the law of attraction affects our lives. It left out some of the most important parts.
The law of attraction is one small piece of the puzzle. Thinking positively is a great start. Positive thinking goes a long way to helping you realize that life is joyful. But it isn’t all you need to do to realize your desires.
Of course, because of the Secret, you understand the basis for the law of attraction. That like attracts like and your thoughts and feelings determine what you’re attracting based on your vibrational patterns.
What the Secret Didn’t Tell You
Another important law that the Secret didn’t mention is the Law of Intentional Consciousness. This law states that you must remain conscious and aware of your thoughts and feelings at all times.
It’s your feelings that determine whether your thinking is positive or negative. Good feelings mean you’re thinking positively, bad feelings mean you’re thinking negatively. This is a very simplistic definition of this law but it gives you enough to get a basic understanding.
But it’s this last law that you must completely understand and consistently practice before you’ll start manifesting anything at all. This is probably the most important universal law of all and it was brushed over and barely mentioned.
It’s The Law of Allowing. Without this law, the Law of Attraction and the Law of Intentional Consciousness can’t do their job. You can ask, you can stay conscious and aware but unless you allow…nothing.
The Gatekeeper
Think of the Law of Allowing as your gatekeeper. All that you desire has come to you but it’s waiting right outside the gate to be let in. You can see it. You can almost reach out and touch it. But that’s as close as you can get.
Until you remove the guard and open the gate all your desires will stop right there. This is the missing component of making the Secret work for you. You must let down your guard and surrender. You must be willing to allow goods things to come into your life.
This is where the law of intentional consciousness is applied. You must remain intentionally conscious of your thoughts and feelings so that you can be open to allow. Once you become unconscious, you go back to the habit of thinking negatively. And, you put the gatekeeper back to work keeping things out.
So the real Secret to manifesting your desires is to learn the habit of positive thinking. Become conscious of your thoughts and feelings so you don’t return to the old habit of negativity. Once you’re consistently thinking and feeling positive, you’ve changed your vibrational energies. Now it’s time to open your heart and mind and allow all good things to come to you.
