When you're feeling down, did you know that you can change it in an instant? Put on a beautiful piece of music, or start singing—that'll change your emotion. Or think of something beautiful. Think of a baby or somebody that you truly love, and dwell on it. Really keep that thought in your mind. Block every thing out but that thought. I guarantee you'll start to feel good.

Make a list of some Secret Shifters to have up your sleeve. By Secret Shifters, I mean things that can change your feelings in a snap. It might be beautiful memories, future events, funny moments, nature, a person you love, your favorite music. Then if you find yourself angry or frustrated or not feeling good, turn to your Secret Shifters list and focus on one of them. Different things will shift you at different times, so if one doesn't work, go to another. It only takes a minute or two of changing focus to shift yourself and shift your frequency.

The principle of feeling good applies to your family pets, for instance. Animals are wonderful, because they put you in a great emotional state. When you feel love for your pet, that great state of love will bring goodness into your life.

And what a gift that is.

"It is the combination of thought and love which forms the irresistible force of the law of attraction."

There is no greater power in the Universe than the power of love.

The feeling of love is the highest frequency you can emit. If you could wrap every thought in love, if you could love everything and everyone, your life would be transformed.

In fact, some of the great thinkers of the past referred to the law of attraction as the law of love. And if you think about it, you will understand why. If you think unkind thoughts about someone else,



The Secret Made Simple 39

you will experience those unkind thoughts manifested. You cannot harm another with your thoughts, you only harm You. If you think thoughts of love, guess who receives the benefits—you! So if your predominant state is love, the law of attraction or the law of love responds with the mightiest force because you are on the highest frequency possible. The greater the love you feel and emit, the greater the power you are harnessing.

"The principle which gives the thought the dynamic power to correlate with its object, and therefore to master every adverse human experience, is the law of attraction, which is another name for love. This is an eternal and fundamental principle inherent in all things, in every system of philosophy, in every Religion and in every Science. There is no getting away from the law of love. It is feeling that imparts vitality to thought. Feeling is desire and desire is love. Thought impregnated with love becomes invincible."

MARCI SHIMOFF

Once you begin to understand and truly master your thoughts and feelings, that's when you see how you create your own reality. That's where your freedom is, that's where all your power is.

40 The Secret

Marci Shimoff shared a wonderful quote from the great Albert Einstein: "The most important question any human being can ask themselves is, 'Is this a friendly Universe?'"

Knowing the law of attraction, the only answer to give is, "Yes, the Universe is friendly." Why? Because when you answer in this way, by the law of attraction you must experience that. Albert Einstein posed this powerful question because he knew The Secret.

He knew by asking the question it would force us to think and make a choice. He gave us a great opportunity, just by posing the question.

To take Einstein's intention even further, you can affirm and proclaim, "This is a magnificent Universe. The Universe is bringing all good things to me. The Universe is conspiring for me in all things.

The Universe is supporting me in everything I do. The Universe meets all my needs immediately." Know that this is a friendly Universe!

J ACKCANFlELD

Since I learned The Secret and started applying it to my life, my life has truly become magical. I think the kind of life that everybody dreams of is one I live on a day-to-day basis. I live in a four-and-a-half-million-dollar mansion. I have a wife to die for. I get to vacation in all the fabulous spots of the world.

I've climbed mountains. I've explored. I've been on safaris.

And all of this happened, and continues to happen, because of knowing how to apply The Secret.

The Secret Made Simple 41

BOB PROCTOR

Life can be absolutely phenomenal, and it should be, and it will be, when you start using The Secret.

This is your life, and it's been waiting for you to discover it! Up until now you may have been thinking that life is hard and a struggle, and so by the law of attraction you will have experienced life as hard and a struggle. Begin right now to shout to the universe,

"Life is so easy! Life is so good! All good things come to me!"

There is a truth deep down inside of you that has been waiting for you to discover it, and that Truth is this: you deserve all good things life has to offer. You know that inherently, because you feel awful when you are experiencing the lack of good things. All good things are your birthright! You are the creator of you, and the law of attraction is your magnificent tool to create whatever you want in your life. Welcome to the magic of life, and the magnificence of You!



The law of attraction is a law of nature. It is as impartial as the law of gravity.

Nothing can come into your experience unless you summon it through persistent thoughts.

To know what you're thinking, ask yourself how you are feeling.

Emotions are valuable tools that instantly tell us what we are thinking.

It is impossible to feel bad and at the same time have good thoughts.

Your thoughts determine your frequency, and your feelings tell you immediately what frequency you are on. When you feel bad, you are on the frequency of drawing more bad things. When you feel good, you are powerfully attracting more good things to you.

Secret Shifters, such as pleasant memories, nature, or your favorite music, can change your feelings and shift your frequency in an instant.

The feeling of love is the highest frequency you can emit. The greater the love you feel and emit, the greater the power you are harnessing.

You are a creator, and there is an easy process to create using the law of attraction. The greatest teachers and avatars have shared the Creative Process through their wondrous work, in a myriad of forms. Some great teachers created stories to demonstrate how the Universe works. The wisdom contained in their stories has been handed down through the centuries and has become legendary.

Many people living today do not realize that the essence of these stories is the very truth of life.

JAMES RAY

If you think about Aladdin and his lamp, Aladdin picks up the lamp, dusts it off, and out pops the Genie. The Genie always says one thing:

"Your wish is my command!"

The story now goes that there are three wishes, hut if you 45

46 The Secret

trace the story back to its origins there's absolutely no limit whatsoever to the wishes.

Think about that one.

Now, let's take this metaphor and apply it to your life.

Remember Aladdin is the one who always asks for what he wants. Then you've got the Universe at large, which is the Genie. Traditions have called it so many things—your holy guardian angel, your higher self. We can put any label on it, and you choose the one that works best for you, but every tradition has told us there's something bigger than us. And the Genie always says one thing:

"Your wish is my command!"

This wonderful story demonstrates how your whole life and everything in it has been created by You. The Genie has simply answered your every command. The Genie is the law of attraction, and it is always present and always listening to everything you think, speak, and act. The Genie assumes that everything you think about, you want! That everything you speak about, you want! That everything you act upon is what you want! You are the Master of the Universe, and the Genie is there to serve you. The Genie never questions your commands. You think it, and the Genie immediately begins to leverage the Universe, through people, circumstances, and events, to fulfill your wish.











How to Use the Secret 47

The Creative Process used in The Secret, which was taken from the New Testament in the Bible, is an easy guideline for you to create what you want in three simple steps.

LISA NICHOLS

The first step is to ask. Make a command to the Universe. Let the Universe know what you want. The Universe responds to your thoughts.

BOB P R O C T O R

What do you really want? Sit down and write it out on a piece of paper. Write it in the present tense. You might begin by writing, "I am so happy and grateful now that..." And then explain how you want your life to be, in every area.

You get to choose what you want, but you must get clear about what you want. This is your work. If you're not clear, then the law of attraction cannot bring you what you want. You will be sending out a mixed frequency and you can only attract mixed results. For the first time in your life perhaps, work out what it is you really want. Now that you know you can have, be, or do anything, and there are no limits, what do you want?







48 The Secret

Asking is the first step in the Creative Process, so make it a habit to ask. If you have to make a choice and you don't know which way to go, ask! You should never be stumped on anything in your life.

Just ask!

DR. JOE VlTALE

This is really fun. It's like having the Universe as your catalogue. You flip through it and say, "I'd like to have this experience and I'd like to have that product and I'd like to have a person like that." It is You placing your order with the Universe. It's really that easy.

You do not have to ask over and over again. Just ask once. It is exactly like placing an order from a catalogue. You only ever order something once. You don't place an order and then doubt the order has been received and so place the order again, and then again, and then again. You order once. It is the same with the Creative Process.

Step One is simply your step to get clear about what you want. As you get clear in your mind, you have asked.

LISA NICHOLS

Step two is believe. Believe that it's already yours. Have what I love to call unwavering faith. Believing in the unseen.



How to Use the Secret 49

You must believe that you have received. You must know that what you want is yours the moment you ask. You must have complete and utter faith. If you had placed an order from a catalogue you would relax/ know you are going to receive what you ordered, and get on with your life.

"See the things that you want as already yours.

Know that they will come to you at need. Then let them come. Don't fret and worry about them.

Don't think about your lack of them. Think of them as yours, as belonging to you, as already in your possession."

In the moment you ask, and believe and know you already have it in the unseen, the entire Universe shifts to bring it into the seen.

You must act, speak, and think, as though you are receiving it now.

Why? The Universe is a mirror, and the law of attraction is mirroring back to you your dominant thoughts. So doesn't it make sense that you have to see yourself as receiving it? If your thoughts contain noticing you do not have it yet, you will continue to attract not having it yet. You must believe you have it already. You must believe you have received it. You have to emit the feeling frequency of having received it, to bring those pictures back as your life. When you do that, the law of attraction will powerfully move all circumstances, people, and events, for you to receive.

50 The Secret

When you book a vacation, order a brand new car, or buy a house, you know those things are yours. You wouldn't go and book another vacation for the same time, or purchase another car or house.

If you won a lottery or received a large inheritance, even before you physically had the money, you know it is yours. That is the feeling of believing it is yours. That is the feeling of believing you have it already. That is the feeling of believing you have received.

Claim the things you want by feeling and believing they are yours.

When you do that, the law of attraction will powerfully move all circumstances, people, and events for you to receive.

How do you get yourself to a point of believing? Start make-believing. Be like a child, and make-believe. Act as if you have it already. As you make-believe, you will begin to believe you have received. The Genie is responding to your predominant thoughts all the time, not just in the moment you ask. That's why after you've asked, you must continue to believe and know. Have faith.

Your belief that you have it, that undying faith, is your greatest power. When you believe you are receiving, get ready, and watch the magic begin!

"You can have what you want—if you know how to form the mold for it in your own

thoughts. There is no dream that may not come true, if you but learn to use the Creative Force working through you. The methods that work

for one will work for all. The key to power lies in using what you have . . . freely, fully . . . and thus











How to Use the Secret 51

opening wide your channels for more Creative Force to flow through you/'

DR. JOE VlTALE

The Universe will start to rearrange itself to make it happen for you.

JACKCANFIELD

Most of us have never allowed ourselves to want what we truly want, because toe can't see how it's going to manifest.

BOB PROCTOR

If you do just a little research, it is going to become evident to you that anyone that ever accomplished anything, did not know how they were going to do it. They only knew they were going to do it.

DR. JOE VlTALE

You don't need to know how it's going to come about You don't need to know how the Universe will rearrange itself How it will happen, how the Universe will bring it to you, is not your concern or job. Allow the Universe to do it for you. When you are trying to work out how it will happen, you are emitting a frequency that contains a lack of faith—that you don't believe you have it already. You think you have to do it and you do not believe the Universe will do it for you. The how is not your part in the Creative Process.

















52 The Secret

BOB PROCTOR

You don't know how, it will be shown to you. You will attract the way.

LISA N I C H O L S

Most of the time, when we don't see the things that we've requested, we get frustrated. We get disappointed. And we begin to become doubtful. The doubt brings about a feeling of disappointment. Take that doubt and shift it. Recognize that feeling and replace it with a feeling of unwavering faith. "I know that it's on its way."

LISA N I C H O L S

Step three, and the final step in the process, is to receive.

Begin to feel wonderful about it. Feel the way you Will feel once it arrives. Feel it now.

M A R C I S H I M O F F

And in this process it's important to feel good, to be happy, because when you're feeling good you're putting yourself in the frequency of what you want.

M I C H A E L B E R N A R D BECKWITH

This is a feeling Universe. If you just intellectually believe something, but you have no corresponding feeling underneath How to Use the Secret 53

that, you don't necessarily have enough power to manifest what you want in your life. You have to feel it.

Ask once, believe you have received, and all you have to do to receive is feel good. When you are feeling good, you are on the frequency of receiving. You are on the frequency of all good things coming to you, and you will receive what you have asked for. You wouldn't ask for anything unless it was going to make you feel good in the receiving of it, would you? So get yourself on the feel-good frequency, and you will receive.

A fast way to get yourself on that frequency is to say, "I am receiving now. I am receiving all the good in my life, now, I am receiving

[fill in your desire] now." And feel it. Feel it as though you have received.

A dear friend of mine, Marcy, is one of the greatest manifestors I have seen, and she feels everything. She feels what it would feel like to have what she is asking for. She feels everything into existence.

She doesn't get caught up in how, when, or where, she Just feels it and it then manifests.

So feel good now.

BOB PROCTOR

When you turn that fantasy into a fact, you're in the position to build bigger and bigger fantasies. And that, my friend, is the Creative Process.





54 The Secret

"Whatsoever ye shall ask in prayer, believing, ye shall receive."'

"What things soever ye desire, when ye pray, believe that ye receive them, and ye shall have them."

BOB DOYLE

The law of attraction, the study and practice of the law of attraction, is just figuring out what will help you generate the feelings of having it now. Go test drive that car. Go shop for that home. Get in the house. Do whatever you have to do to generate the feelings of having it now, and remember them.

Whatever you can do to achieve that will help you to literally attract it.

When you feel as though you have it now, and the feeling is so real that it is like you have it already, you are believing that you have received/ and you will receive.

BOB DOYLE

It could be you wake up and it's just there. It's manifested. Or, you might get some inspired idea of some action to take. You certainly shouldn't be saying, "Well, I could do it this way, but man, I would hate that." You 're not on the right track if that's the case.



How to Use the Secret 55

Action will sometimes be required, but if you're really doing it in line with what the Universe is trying to bring to you, it's going to feel joyous. You're going to feel so alive. Time will just stop. You could do it all day.

Action is a word that can imply "work" to some people, but inspired action will not feel like work at all. The difference between inspired action and action is this: Inspired action is when you are acting to receive. If you are in action to try and make it happen, you have slipped backward. Inspired action is effortless, and it feels wonderful because you are on the frequency of receiving.

Imagine life as a fast-moving riven When you are acting to make something happen it will feel as if you are going against the current of the river. It will feel hard and like a struggle. When you are acting to receive from the Universe, you will feel as if you are flowing with the current of the river. It will feel effortless. That is the feeling of inspired action, and of being in the flow of the Universe and life.

Sometimes you will not even be aware you used "action" until after you've received, because the acting felt so good. You will then look back and see the wonder and matrix of how the Universe carried you to what you wanted, and also brought what you wanted to you.

DR. JOE VlTALE

The Universe likes speed. Don't delay. Don't second guess.

Don't doubt. When the opportunity is there, when the impulse





56 The Secret

i s there, when the intuitive nudge from within is there, act.

That's your job. And that's all you have to do.

Trust your instincts. It's the Universe inspiring you. It's the Universe communicating with you on the receiving frequency. If you have an intuitive or instinctive feeling, follow it, and you will find that the Universe is magnetically moving you to receive what you asked for.

BOB PROCTOR

You will attract everything that you require. If it's money you need you will attract it. If it's people you need you'll attract it. If it's a certain book you need you'll attract it. You've got to pay attention to what you're attracted to, because as you hold images of what you want, you're going to be attracted to things and they're going to be attracted to you. But it literally moves into physical reality with and through you. And it does that by law.

Remember that you are a magnet, attracting everything to you.

When you have gotten clear in your mind about what you want you have become a magnet to draw those things to you, and those things you want are magnetized to you in return. The more you practice and begin to see the law of attraction bringing things to you, the greater the magnet you will become, because you will add the power of faith, belief, and knowing.

MICHAEL BERNARD BECKWITH

You can start with nothing, and out of nothing and out of no way, a way will be made.





How to Use the Secret 57

All you require is You, and your ability to think things into being.

Everything that has been invented and created throughout the history of humankind began with one thought. From that one thought a way was made, and it manifested from the invisible into the visible.

JACK CANFIELD

Think of a car driving through the night The headlights only go a hundred to two hundred feet forward, and you can make it all the way from California to New York driving through the dark, because all you have to see is the next two hundred feet. And that's how life tends to unfold before us. If we just trust that the next two hundred feet will unfold after that, and the next two hundred feet will unfold after that, your life will keep unfolding. And it will eventually get you to the destination of whatever it is you truly want, because you want it.

Trust the Universe. Trust and believe and have faith. I truly had no idea how I was going to bring the knowledge of The Secret onto the movie screen. I just held to the outcome of the vision, I saw the outcome clearly in my mind, I felt it with all my might, and everything that we needed to create The Secret came to us.

"Take the first step in faith. You don't have to see the whole staircase. Just take the first step."
