There is no question that the so-called “Secret”-”The Law of Attraction” is real and that it is one of the universal laws of the entire universe. It can be proven with Quantum Physics and more recently with String-Theory. It is real but some of the practitioners of the “Secret” are leading us down the garden path.

The gurus of the “Secret” don’t mean to mislead us. They are sincere in their beliefs but, in telling us that all that we have to do is visualize and we can eliminate our limiting beliefs is pure conjecture. In visualization, we attempt to use the conscious mind to visualize our perfect life but the conscious mind only comprises about 10 percent of our mind and the sub-conscious 90 percent of our mind will fight these conscious visualizations tooth and nail. As a result, the followers of the “Secret” soon become disheartened and come to believe that it is either worthless or worse yet, a sham just to take our money.

Nothing could be further from the truth. The “Secret” is real and if applied properly will lead to that life of abundance that we all seek. While simple visualization may work for advanced practitioners, it is virtually worthless for the newcomers.

The newcomers might be better of looking into hypnosis (which speaks directly to the sub-conscious) or perhaps Neuro-Linguistic programming. These are age-old methods of affecting our sub-conscious minds and releasing our limiting beliefs. In addition, there are some newer programs coming on the market that show extreme promise in overcoming our limiting beliefs. Once these techniques are successful, then one only needs to go back to simple visualization to be able to achieve the same results. The trick is in finding a method that works for you in the beginning and then and only then can we make “The Secret” work.

Visualization does have its place but only after you have overcome the sub-conscious minds natural resistance to change. It has taken a lifetime to build your sub-conscious ego and simple visualization is not going to be sufficient to overcome a lifetime of false beliefs. Look into the new alternatives and your life of abundance can be realized. As Bruce Lee said: “I think and I become.”

My sincere wishes for your achievement of the life of abundance.
