The Secret About the Secret: Clarity
Weekly Word #8 ~ June, 2007
I have shared in this space some of my concerns about the popularity
of the movie and book, "The Secret." My comments have not
been so much about the veracity or value of the concepts in The Secret,
but about the defeat and self-judgment people experience when they
try to implement the ideas and fail. I would like to wrap up this
series with my "secret about clarity."
Here is a typical review of the movie, "The Secret:"
"Imagine having the power to easily manifest whatever your heart
desires. Imagine being able to magically attract experiences that
bring you joy and fulfillment. Sounds fantastic, but what is more
incredible is that you already have this power!
"For most people this power remains a secret. Others may have
noticed its influence but not yet figured out how to use it reliably.
And those who know the technique often forget to put it into practice.
No problem, the solution is here and it's called "The Secret,"
an amazing new film that elegantly reveals everything you need to
know to manifest your dreams."
It is so true that each of us has the power to manifest whatever
our hearts desire-- and we do it every moment! We magically manifest
what our beliefs desire, and what our programming has conditioned
us to think we want, should have, or should do. Everyone uses this
power all the time, and if it is a secret it is because it is used
without awareness and the clarity to use it well.
Imagine a fireman holding a big fire hose ten feet back from the
nozzle. The hose is whipping around, and he has no ability to control
where the water goes to do its job. It is the same with people whose
minds are filled with what the Toltecs call "The Mitote"
-- the sound of 1000 people talking at the market place and nobody
listening.
When that fireman moves his grip up to the nozzle, he can direct
the water exactly where he wants it, and use it to accomplish his
goal. When your mind is not whipping your attention all over the place,
you can move close to the nozzle of your intent, and you can indeed
create a new dream of love and abundance.
You are dreaming-- you are always creating magic and manifesting
with your mind. It doesn't start when you learn The Secret. It is
how things work, always. If you want to know what you believe about
life, love, money, sex, relationship, food, work, etc, simply look
at your life-- it is a manifestation and reflection of those beliefs.
YOU created the life you live and the universe you live in. No judgment
here, it is just how the laws of the universe work.
So, the secret to The Secret is Clarity. If you want to change your
life, you must change the beliefs in your mind. If you want your intent
to be strong and manifest your dreams, you must have the clarity of
mind to keep your attention on your goals and, of course, the willingness
to take the actions required.
