The Secret of the Ages
The Secret of the Ages is the law of attraction. Like attracts like. Vibration matches vibration. You attract what you put out. There are five elements in the law of attraction: imagination, thought, feeling, action and reaction.
Imagination is where it all begins. Then we have a thought. Then we have a feeling, Then we take action. Then there is a reaction or matching of the previous four steps. However, these things happen so quickly, so automatically and so unconsciously that we may only notice action and reaction. The secret is the order of these steps. Often we think that reaction is first, then action, then feeling, then thought, and probably not imagination at all.
When we perceive in this reverse manner, we become victims of the outer. We become irresponsible. We assume that the world is an outer thing, random or accidental, out of our control. We have inevitable anxiety.
The secret is that the reversal of these five steps is not so. The law of attraction is that we first imagine, then we think, then we feel, then we act, and then we see out there what we have created. Circumstances are the product of your own creation.
To understand this, it would be helpful to use the re-play analogy in football.
By slowing down the camera, which is the eye, we can see what really happened.
What this means is that you, like the Creator, are also a powerful creator, but in many instances, it seems like luck, either good or bad, which produces our experiences. But just suppose that everything that you see, feel, and experience is the result of your own story. If you don’t like what you are experiencing, you can change your story and your world will change. You begin to realize that you see what you believe, instead of vice-versa.
What you see is what you get, quipped comedian Flip Wilson.
This secret has been known by a few geniuses, successful philosophers, saints, and business men since the beginning of time, but not by the masses. Everyone has a little piece of this knowledge but not until now has the full knowledge of the secret been made available for everyone.
Henry Ford had a piece of it when he said “If you say you can’t or if you say you can, you are right.
Buddha said the world is created by our thought.
Solomon said “As you think, so it is.”
Jesus said “All things are possible to him that believeth.”
Now modern physics and science is saying that thought determines reality. Nothing is independent of the observer.
Dr. Emoto has proven that thoughts change the molecular structure of water.
Doctors and researchers say that at least 80% of our medical problems are due to the effects of stress on the immune system.
Clinical investigators have shown that stress is generated by our own assumptions, and not by the environment per se.
I have written a book entitled “Anxiety: Your Friend in Disguise” in which I argue that anxiety is here to remind us that we have it all backwards, that we are not victims, but unconscious choosers who must become conscious choice-makers or else we will not be able to get rid of our anxiety or its symptoms and suffering. Self-medicating addictions do not really eliminate stress.
Only awareness gets to the level where anxiety begins, that is, to the level of imagination and thought. As long as our story remains hidden and unchallenged, we remain anxious, unhappy, and relatively unsuccessful. By taking responsibility for where you are, you can choose to have what you want. Right now you have a lot of what you don’t want and a little of what you do want, but not enough of what you do want. We tend to blame this lack on other people, on society, on fate, or on not trying hard enough. None of these is the truth. “Not enough” is all due to our lack of understanding and awareness.
I have an electrical magnet in my office. I often use it to illustrate the law of attraction. In step one the metal object pulls apart quite easily from the magnet. But once a small D size battery is hooked to the magnet, no one call pull the metal object apart from the magnet. Thus we see that a small electric current directed in the right manner makes the magnet very powerful. Your mind is a magnet, and it is empowered by your energy, and it attracts what you experience. The main difference in this magnet and your mind is that your mind has filters through which this energy exerts its vibratory power.
You either filter your perceptions through anger, fear, doubt or love. Over 80% of the time we make our choices through unconscious filters or imaginations of fear, doubt, or anger. To make our next step in human evolution, we have to be able to filter all or our choices through love or understanding.
This step would be a lot easier if we knew the nature of reality, but we do not. We do not see that this is a Friendly Universe, offering us all that we could possibly want. We do not see that the Creator of this universe is Infinite Goodness, Unlimited Power, Unmixed wisdom and Unconditional Love. If we did, we would not be anxious, and we would practice the Law of Attraction naturally. Another way of saying this is that what we focus on is what happens.
Generally speaking, we may rely about 50% on action, 20% on luck, 15% on planning, and 15% on others. We can reverse that and put 50% on imagination, thought and feelings and the remaining 50% on aware calm, graceful action. Unconscious, desperate, hit-and miss-action is very inefficient. Once you see that the universe is friendly and that it is here to serve you, then you can give yourself 100% to serving. Once you see that the Universe is Unconditionally Friendly, you will be open to creativity, miracles, hidden assistance, unexpected team members, and synchronicities coming from everywhere. You realize that you are never alone and that you have infinite resources.
How can you know that the universe is here 100% to serve you? That may take some real research, but have we ever tried? When the Creator had created the earth, we are told that he looked at all that he had made and said Very Good. But have we ever done that? Have we ever looked at all that he has made and said Very Good? I doubt it. We have not even looked at all that we have made and said Very Good. Until you can look at the universe from a non-judgmental viewpoint, I doubt that you can ever say Very Good Without Conditions to anything. Thus you will be trapped in an unserving universe without any purpose except to survive. Once you discover the Very Good Truth about the Universe you will know your purpose in life.
Suppose that the world I have created is significantly different from the Creator’s world? How can that be helpful to me? The world that I have created produces the suffering and anxiety that I experience, which remind me that I am not in truth, and so I can change my perception. That is why my view of the world, no matter how distorted it is, is also my perfect learning device.
The Friendly Universe already serves you 100%. It does whatever you ask. And it even gives you 1000 X more than you ask or understand, reserved for when you are ready to receive it. We are already turning down the infinite Good on an hourly basis! Wow!
