00:00:07,001 --> 00:00:10,450
A year ago my life had collapsed around me.

3
00:00:10,451 --> 00:00:13,810
I'd worked myself into exhaustion,

4
00:00:13,811 --> 00:00:16,346
My father died suddenly

5
00:00:16,346 --> 00:00:19,990
and my relationships were in turmoil.

6
00:00:20,625 --> 00:00:23,197
Little did I know at the time

7
00:00:23,197 --> 00:00:25,409
out of my greatest despair

8
00:00:25,409 --> 00:00:28,539
was to come the greatest gift.

00:00:28,540 --> 00:00:40,300

9
00:00:40,624 --> 00:00:43,999
I've been given a glimpse of a great secret.

9
00:00:44,000 --> 00:00:50,900
<i>
Hadeeths and Aayahs of the Quran were mentioned as much as possible, and many were mentioned at the end of this presentation.
</i>
******

10
00:00:51,617 --> 00:00:54,999
I began tracing The Secret back through history

10
00:00:55,000 --> 00:01:00,000
<i>The main goal is the listener’s benefit.

We notice some fumblings, when they try to explain the reasons for success and so on,</i>
******

10
00:01:00,500 --> 00:01:09,500
<i>mainly because of the insistence to avoid ascribing matters to God.
So we added the necessary texts to explain and clarify the true reasons for success, from the magnificent Islamic perspective.</i>
******

10
00:01:09,501 --> 00:01:17,000
<i>The steps and techniques mentioned are successful, such as gratitude, optimism, persistence, etc. but many of their explanations are neither necessary nor scientifically rooted, although attractive and even refreshing at times.</i>
******

10
00:01:17,001 --> 00:01:23,400
<i>We notice the persistent avoidance to mention God, to cater to non-believers and reach a wider market.</i>
******

10
00:01:27,301 --> 00:01:36,699
<i>The Holy Hadeeth (Qudsi):
<b>I Am according to My subject’s opinion of Me, whether good or bad.</b>
Explains how good and bad happen to those expecting it, while they explained it through a pseudo-scentific Law of Attraction</i>
******

10
00:01:40,801 --> 00:01:47,599
<i>And the Hadeeth:
<b>Do work, for each person’s way is made easy toward what he was created for</b>
is well known, but due to its subtlety and because they do not know it, they could not see the implications of God’s Knowledge, unbounded by time and mistook it for the predetermination that they are negating.
</i>
******

10
00:01:53,000 --> 00:01:59,000
<i>And so on for the remaining concepts here such as optimism, continuous gratitude, and determination, the foundations of which are crystal clear to the believer, whatever his religion.</i>
******

10
00:01:59,001 --> 00:02:05,000
<i>So the benefit from this viewing is to persist on optimism and gratitude, the continuous faith that prayers will be answered, and the sustained rejection of negative thoughts.
******
</i>

11
00:02:05,001 --> 00:02:07,592
I couldn't believe all the people who knew this.

12
00:02:07,593 --> 00:02:10,543
They were the greatest people in history.

12
00:02:17,000 --> 00:02:21,000
(Whispers) Why doesn't any one know this?

13
00:02:21,001 --> 00:02:23,686
All I wanted to do was to
share this secret with the world.

14
00:02:23,687 --> 00:02:28,266
I began searching for people alive today
who know The Secret.

15
00:02:28,267 --> 00:02:32,601
One by one
they began to emerge.

16
00:02:37,657 --> 00:02:41,000
You know this Secret
gives you everything you want.

17
00:02:41,001 --> 00:02:43,651
Happiness, health and wealth.

18
00:02:44,887 --> 00:02:48,605
You can have, do or be anything you want.

19
00:02:48,606 --> 00:02:53,244
We can have whatever that is we choose.
I don't care how big it is.

20
00:02:54,000 --> 00:02:56,864
What kind of a house do you wanna live in?
Do you wanna be a millionaire?

21
00:02:56,865 --> 00:02:59,519
What kind of a business do you wanna have?
Do you want more success?

22
00:02:59,520 --> 00:03:02,000
What do you really want?

23
00:03:03,000 --> 00:03:05,505
I've seen many miracles take
place in people's lives.

24
00:03:05,506 --> 00:03:08,880
Financial miracles,
miracles of physical healing,

25
00:03:08,881 --> 00:03:11,708
mental healing,
healing in relationships...

26
00:03:11,709 --> 00:03:16,543
All of this happen because of
knowing how to apply The Secret.

27
00:03:18,000 --> 00:03:22,500
This is the great Secret of life.

28
00:03:38,704 --> 00:03:41,666
You've probably been sitting there
wondering what is this Secret.

29
00:03:41,667 --> 00:03:45,129
I'll tell you how I have come
to understand it.

30
00:03:45,130 --> 00:03:49,717
We all work with one infinite power.

31
00:03:52,220 --> 00:03:56,583
We all guide ourselves
by exactly the same laws.

32
00:04:00,000 --> 00:04:03,624
The natural laws of the Universe
are so precise

33
00:04:03,625 --> 00:04:06,856
That we don't even have any difficulty
building spaceships,

34
00:04:06,857 --> 00:04:08,488
we can send people to the moon,

35
00:04:08,489 --> 00:04:13,200
and we can time the landing with the
precision of a fraction of a second.

36
00:04:13,201 --> 00:04:15,647
I don't care if you're in India,

37
00:04:15,648 --> 00:04:17,895
if you're in Australia, New Zealand,

38
00:04:17,896 --> 00:04:19,274
Stockholm or London,

39
00:04:19,275 --> 00:04:22,021
or Toronto, or Montreal, or New York...

40
00:04:22,022 --> 00:04:25,500
We all working with one power,

41
00:04:25,700 --> 00:04:27,891
one law.

42
00:04:27,892 --> 00:04:30,500
It's Attraction.

43
00:04:32,000 --> 00:04:35,000
The Secret is the Law of Attraction.

44
00:04:37,368 --> 00:04:41,555
Everything that's coming into your life,
you are attracting into your life.

45
00:04:42,669 --> 00:04:46,891
And it's attracted to you by virtue of the image
as you're holding in your mind.

46
00:04:46,892 --> 00:04:48,351
It's what you're thinking.

47
00:04:48,352 --> 00:04:51,464
You see, whatever is
going on in your mind

48
00:04:51,465 --> 00:04:53,314
you are attracting to you.

49
00:04:53,315 --> 00:04:55,523
Now, wise people have always known that.

50
00:04:55,524 --> 00:04:57,728
You go right back to the ancient Babylonians

51
00:04:57,729 --> 00:04:59,067
they've always known this.

52
00:04:59,068 --> 00:05:01,357
It's a small select group of people.

53
00:05:01,358 --> 00:05:04,222
Why do you think that 1% of the population

54
00:05:04,223 --> 00:05:07,434
earns around 96% of all the money
that's being earned?

55
00:05:07,435 --> 00:05:08,892
Do you think that's an accident?

56
00:05:08,893 --> 00:05:09,797
It's no accident.

57
00:05:09,798 --> 00:05:11,824
It's designed that way.

58
00:05:11,825 --> 00:05:13,532
They understand something.

59
00:05:13,533 --> 00:05:15,248
They understand The Secret.

60
00:05:15,249 --> 00:05:18,161
And you are being introduced to The Secret.

61
00:05:18,162 --> 00:05:26,732
The simplest way for me to look at the Law of Attraction
is if I think of myself as a magnet.

*Hope or what you desire and it will be, for rarely was it said “it was” without it becoming a reality - Verses often quoted by the Prophet P.*
******

63
00:05:26,733 --> 00:05:30,400
And I know that a magnet
will attract to it.

64
00:05:30,401 --> 00:05:35,243
Very basically put, the Law of Attraction
says that like attracts like.

*I Am according to My subject’s opinion of Me, whether good or bad - Hadeeth*
******

65
00:05:35,244 --> 00:05:37,102
But we're really talking
at the level of thought.

66
00:05:37,103 --> 00:05:40,896
Our job as humans is to hold on
to the thoughts of what we want,

67
00:05:40,897 --> 00:05:43,736
make it absolutely clear in our minds
what we want

68
00:05:43,737 --> 00:05:47,440
and from there we start to invoke
one of the greatest laws in the Universe

69
00:05:47,441 --> 00:05:48,800
and that's the Law of Attraction.

70
00:05:48,801 --> 00:05:51,427
You become what you think about most,

71
00:05:51,428 --> 00:05:54,000
but you also attract
what you think about most.

72
00:05:54,001 --> 00:05:55,900
If you see it in here

73
00:05:55,901 --> 00:05:57,391
you're gonna hold it here.

74
00:05:57,392 --> 00:06:03,350
And that principle can be summed up
in three simple words:

75
00:06:03,900 --> 00:06:05,500
thoughts

76
00:06:05,800 --> 00:06:07,300
become

77
00:06:07,700 --> 00:06:09,100
things.

78
00:06:11,200 --> 00:06:14,006
What most people don't understand is:
a thought has a frequency.

79
00:06:14,007 --> 00:06:15,968
Every thought has a frequency.

80
00:06:15,969 --> 00:06:17,920
We can measure a thought.

81
00:06:17,921 --> 00:06:20,441
It's if you're thinking that thought
over and over and over again

82
00:06:20,442 --> 00:06:22,111
or if you're imagining in your mind

83
00:06:22,112 --> 00:06:23,732
having that brand new car,

84
00:06:23,733 --> 00:06:25,717
having the money that you need,
building that company,

85
00:06:25,718 --> 00:06:26,851
finding your soul mate;

86
00:06:26,852 --> 00:06:28,820
if you imagine what that looks like

87
00:06:28,821 --> 00:06:31,506
you're emitting that frequency
on a consistent basis.

88
00:06:31,507 --> 00:06:34,245
Thoughts are sending out
that magnetic signal

89
00:06:34,246 --> 00:06:37,362
that is drawing the parallel
back to you.

91
00:06:37,363 --> 00:06:39,293
See yourself living in abundance

92
00:06:39,294 --> 00:06:41,200
and you will attract that.

93
00:06:42,300 --> 00:06:45,069
It always works.
it works every time

94
00:06:45,070 --> 00:06:47,000
with every person.

95
00:06:48,500 --> 00:06:49,713
Here's the problem:

96
00:06:49,714 --> 00:06:51,360
most people are thinking
about what they don't want

97
00:06:51,361 --> 00:06:55,500
and they're wondering why it shows up
over and over and over again.

98
00:06:57,500 --> 00:07:01,801
The Law of Attraction doesn't care whether you perceive something to be good or bad

99
00:07:01,802 --> 00:07:06,246
or whether you don't want it
or whether you do want it
it's responding to your thoughts.

*<u><b>I Am according to My subject’s opinion of Me, whether good or bad</b></u> - Hadeeth*
******

101
00:07:06,247 --> 00:07:08,685
So if you're sitting there,
looking at a mountain of debt

102
00:07:08,686 --> 00:07:10,261
feeling terrible about it,

103
00:07:10,262 --> 00:07:13,448
that's a signal you're putting out
into the Universe.

*I disavow him, whoever allows sadness to overcome him – Meaning of a Hadeeth*
*I Am according to My subject’s opinion of Me... – Holy Hadeeth*
******

104
00:07:13,449 --> 00:07:16,041
"Wow, I feel really bad because of
all this debt I've got."

105
00:07:16,042 --> 00:07:17,338
You're just affirming it to yourself,

106
00:07:17,339 --> 00:07:19,684
you feel it on every level
of your being,

107
00:07:19,685 --> 00:07:21,567
that's what you're gonna get more of.

108
00:07:26,628 --> 00:07:28,611
So, when you're looking
at that thing you want

109
00:07:28,612 --> 00:07:29,798
and you're saying yes to it,

110
00:07:29,799 --> 00:07:31,999
you're activating a thought

111
00:07:32,500 --> 00:07:42,022
and the Law of Attraction
is responding to that thought
and bringing you things that match that

*Hope for what you desire and it will be... – Verse often quoted by the Prophet P.*
*Hope for the good and you will find it - Hadeeth*
*Do not pretend illness for it may then befall you, and do not dig your own graves for you may then die. - Hadeeth*
******

112
00:07:42,023 --> 00:07:43,952
But when you're looking at
something that you do not want

113
00:07:43,953 --> 00:07:45,357
and you shout no at it

114
00:07:45,356 --> 00:07:47,599
you're actually not
pushing it away.

115
00:07:47,600 --> 00:07:51,832
Instead, you're activating the very
thought of what you do not want

*God allows to dominate the son of Adam, only those whom he fears; and if the son of Adam fears none but God, then God would not empower anyone over him - Hadeeth*
******

116
00:07:51,833 --> 00:07:58,000
and now Law of Attraction is lining
those things up for you also.

*One should not pray against oneself - Hadeeth*
******

117
00:07:58,001 --> 00:08:00,764
This is a Universe that is
based upon attraction.

118
00:08:00,765 --> 00:08:02,675
Everything is about attraction.

119
00:08:02,676 --> 00:08:05,115
The Law of Attraction is always working

120
00:08:05,116 --> 00:08:08,075
whether you believe it or understand
it or not.

121
00:08:08,076 --> 00:08:10,241
It's always working.

*Al Fudayl said to Sufyan: God’s response to His obedient subject is such that if he tells this mountain to move, it will move. The mountain moved, and Al Fudayl said to it: Quiet down, I did not want to move you, I only drew you as an example*
******

122
00:08:10,242 --> 00:08:11,819
You might be thinking about past

123
00:08:11,820 --> 00:08:14,335
or the present, or the future,

124
00:08:14,336 --> 00:08:18,643
but whether you're remembering
or observing, or imagining

125
00:08:18,644 --> 00:08:21,981
still in that process
you are activating thought

126
00:08:21,982 --> 00:08:25,818
and Law of Attraction, which is the
most powerful law in the Universe,

127
00:08:25,819 --> 00:08:27,903
is responding to your thought.

128
00:08:27,904 --> 00:08:29,462
Creation is always happening.

129
00:08:29,463 --> 00:08:31,614
Every time an individual has a thought

130
00:08:31,615 --> 00:08:35,598
or a prolonged, chronic way of thinking

131
00:08:35,599 --> 00:08:37,252
they're in the creation process,

132
00:08:37,253 --> 00:08:39,262
something is gonna manifest
out of those thoughts.

133
00:08:39,263 --> 00:08:40,676
Law of Attraction says:

134
00:08:40,677 --> 00:08:43,662
"We'll give you whatever it is
you say and focus on."

135
00:08:43,663 --> 00:08:45,702
So, if you're complaining about
how bad it is

136
00:08:45,703 --> 00:08:50,300
were you creating ...
more of how bad it is.

137
00:08:56,000 --> 00:09:01,773
I had a student named Robert.
Robert was a gay man

*Apparently, he contradicted the Hadeeth: If you are afflicted by sins, be discrete.*
******

139
00:09:01,774 --> 00:09:04,742
and he was taking an on-line course I have,

140
00:09:04,743 --> 00:09:07,647
a part of which entails
e-mail access to me.

141
00:09:07,648 --> 00:09:12,728
And he outlined all of the grim
realities of his life.

142
00:09:12,729 --> 00:09:17,000
In his job, all the people
ganged up on him.

143
00:09:19,000 --> 00:09:23,500
And it was constantly stressful
because of how nasty they all have been.

144
00:09:23,501 --> 00:09:25,215
When he walked down the street, he said,

145
00:09:25,216 --> 00:09:27,904
in every block he was accosted by
homophobic people

146
00:09:27,905 --> 00:09:30,500
who wanted to abuse him
in some way.

147
00:09:33,000 --> 00:09:36,092
He was wanting to become
a stand-up comedian.

148
00:09:36,797 --> 00:09:39,586
And when he went out and did
the stand-up comedy job

149
00:09:40,000 --> 00:09:42,000
everybody hackled him

150
00:09:42,500 --> 00:09:44,200
about being gay.

151
00:09:44,201 --> 00:09:49,500
And his whole life was one of
a lot of unhappiness and misery

*Obviously, he contradicted the Hadeeth: If you are afflicted by sins, be discrete.*
******

152
00:09:49,501 --> 00:09:54,200
and it all focused around this idea
of being attacked because he was gay.

*The cause of these attacks is “publicizing” his sin*
******

153
00:09:54,201 --> 00:09:58,536
I began to teach him that he was
focusing on what he did not want.

154
00:09:58,537 --> 00:10:01,436
I have directed him back to his e-mail
that he sent me and I said,

155
00:10:01,437 --> 00:10:02,682
read it again,

156
00:10:02,683 --> 00:10:05,706
look at all the things you do not want
that you're telling me about,

157
00:10:05,707 --> 00:10:07,734
and I can tell you're
very passionate about this;

158
00:10:07,735 --> 00:10:10,243
when you focus on something
with a lot of passion

159
00:10:10,244 --> 00:10:13,236
it makes it happen even faster.

160
00:10:13,237 --> 00:10:22,500
And then he really started taking this thing about focusing on what you want, to heart.
And he began really trying.

163
00:10:22,501 --> 00:10:25,035
What happened within the next 6-8 weeks

164
00:10:25,036 --> 00:10:27,400
was absolutely a miracle.

165
00:10:27,401 --> 00:10:31,153
He said that all the people in his office
that had been harassing him

167
00:10:31,154 --> 00:10:33,237
either transferred to
another department

168
00:10:33,238 --> 00:10:35,080
or quit working at the company

169
00:10:35,081 --> 00:10:36,779
or started totally
leaving him alone.

170
00:10:36,780 --> 00:10:38,593
And he began to love his job.

171
00:10:38,594 --> 00:10:41,524
He noticed that when he was
walking down the street

172
00:10:41,525 --> 00:10:44,088
that nobody came up to him
and harassed him anymore.

173
00:10:44,089 --> 00:10:45,461
They just weren't there.

174
00:10:45,462 --> 00:10:49,083
When he went and did his stand-up comedy

175
00:10:49,084 --> 00:10:53,000
he started getting standing ovations
and nobody was hackling him.

176
00:10:55,011 --> 00:10:57,310
His whole life changed

177
00:10:57,311 --> 00:11:01,889
because he changed from focusing
on what he did not want,

178
00:11:01,890 --> 00:11:03,465
what he was afraid of,
what he wanted to avoid,

179
00:11:03,466 --> 00:11:07,000
to focusing on what he did want.

*The “technique” works, but adding to our sins only gets us “more rope” to hurt us later*
******

180
00:11:07,001 --> 00:11:09,918
So we may be very positive
in our outlook and orientation,

181
00:11:09,919 --> 00:11:14,316
and we tend to attract positive people
and positive events and circumstances.

182
00:11:14,317 --> 00:11:17,553
When we're very negative in
our orientation, or very angry,

183
00:11:17,554 --> 00:11:20,489
in which case we tend to attract
negative, angry people

184
00:11:20,490 --> 00:11:23,000
and negative , angry circumstances.

185
00:11:23,001 --> 00:11:25,500
And so you end up attracting to you

186
00:11:25,500 --> 00:11:28,890
the predominate thoughts that
you're holding in your awareness.

187
00:11:28,891 --> 00:11:30,861
Whether those thoughts are conscious

188
00:11:30,862 --> 00:11:32,771
or whether they're unconscious,

189
00:11:32,772 --> 00:11:34,018
that's the rub.

190
00:11:34,019 --> 00:11:35,865
If you look very carefully

191
00:11:35,866 --> 00:11:37,777
when it comes to The Secret,
and the power of our mind,

192
00:11:37,778 --> 00:11:39,815
and the power of our attention
in our daily lives

193
00:11:39,816 --> 00:11:41,607
it's all around us.

194
00:11:41,608 --> 00:11:43,492
All we gotta do is open our eyes

195
00:11:43,493 --> 00:11:44,600
and look.

196
00:11:44,601 --> 00:11:48,136
You see Law of Attraction
evidenced in your society

197
00:11:48,137 --> 00:11:51,454
when you see that the one who
speaks most of illness - has it,

198
00:11:51,455 --> 00:11:55,389
when you see that the one who
speaks most of prosperity - has it.

199
00:11:55,390 --> 00:11:58,693
Law of Attraction is evident
everywhere around you

200
00:11:58,694 --> 00:12:00,773
if you're understanding
what it is.

201
00:12:00,774 --> 00:12:03,670
It has to do with
you being a magnet,

202
00:12:03,671 --> 00:12:06,346
attracting thought,
attracting people,

203
00:12:06,347 --> 00:12:08,814
attracting events,
attracting life style.

204
00:12:08,815 --> 00:12:12,052
Indeed everything that you
bring into your experience,

205
00:12:12,053 --> 00:12:17,902
you bring because of this
powerful Law of Attraction.

*The Prophet P. clarified:*
*Hope for what you desire, and it will be*
*I Am according to My subject’s opinion of Me...*
******

206
00:12:17,903 --> 00:12:20,734
I mean, I'm not talking to you
from the point of view of just

207
00:12:20,735 --> 00:12:22,823
wishful thinking

208
00:12:22,824 --> 00:12:27,506
or imaginary, craziness.

209
00:12:27,507 --> 00:12:32,300
I'm talking to you from a
deeper basic understanding.

210
00:12:34,000 --> 00:12:38,900
Quantum physics really begins
to point to this discovery.

211
00:12:38,901 --> 00:12:41,605
It says that you
can't have a Universe

212
00:12:41,606 --> 00:12:43,784
without mind entering into it.

213
00:12:43,785 --> 00:12:46,472
that the mind is actually shaping

214
00:12:46,473 --> 00:12:49,624
the very thing that is
being perceived.

215
00:12:49,625 --> 00:12:58,185
Now, if you do not understand, that doesn't mean you should reject that.
You don't understand electricity properly.

*** correct ***
So it is not necessary for him now to delve into pseudo-scientific details, as we will see
******

217
00:12:58,186 --> 00:13:00,800
First of all, no one even knows
what electricity is.

218
00:13:00,801 --> 00:13:03,067
And yet you enjoy
the benefits of it.

219
00:13:03,068 --> 00:13:06,000
Do you know how it works?
I don't know how it works.

221
00:13:06,001 --> 00:13:08,000
But I do know this:

222
00:13:08,500 --> 00:13:18,120
that you can cook a man's dinner with electricity
and you can also cook the man.

******
Thus it is not necessary to explain vibrations, electrons, galaxies and "name drop" Quantum Physics: The benefit for listeners is the “technique” of optimism, etc. and not guessing how it works.
******

224
00:13:18,121 --> 00:13:21,237
People oftentimes when they begin to understand the great Secret,

226
00:13:21,238 --> 00:13:25,475
become frightened of all of these negative thoughts that they have.

228
00:13:25,476 --> 00:13:27,525
Two things you need
to be aware of.

229
00:13:27,526 --> 00:13:31,231
One: it has been proven
now scientifically

230
00:13:31,232 --> 00:13:32,749
that an affirmative thought

231
00:13:32,750 --> 00:13:37,616
is hundreds of times more powerful than a negative thought.

*Do you know God’s Prayer? It is: My Mercy is faster than my Dis-Pleasure - Hadeeth*
******

232
00:13:37,617 --> 00:13:41,700
So, that eliminates a degree of worry right there.

*The good deed is worth ten, the bad deed counts as only one - Hadeeth*
******

233
00:13:41,701 --> 00:13:45,000
You live in a reality where
there is this buffer of time.

234
00:13:45,001 --> 00:13:46,621
And truly, that serves you.

235
00:13:46,622 --> 00:13:49,509
You're really not wanting to be
in an environment where

236
00:13:49,510 --> 00:13:53,000
your thoughts manifest immediately.

237
00:13:57,000 --> 00:14:01,200
The evidence is long and coming
and that is really a good thing.

238
00:14:04,400 --> 00:14:06,704
So, you want to become
aware of your thoughts,

239
00:14:06,705 --> 00:14:08,744
you want to choose your
thoughts carefully

240
00:14:08,745 --> 00:14:10,121
and you wanna have fun with this.

241
00:14:10,121 --> 00:14:15,205
Because, you are the masterpiece
of your own life.

242
00:14:15,206 --> 00:14:19,422
You are the Michelangelo
of your own life.

243
00:14:19,423 --> 00:14:22,250
The David that you are sculpting
is you.

244
00:14:22,251 --> 00:14:25,000
And you do it
with your thoughts.

245
00:14:27,500 --> 00:14:29,816
The leaders in the past (*except the Prophets*) who had The Secret

246
00:14:29,817 --> 00:14:33,700
wanted to keep the power,
and not share the power.

247
00:14:35,500 --> 00:14:39,000
So, they kept people
ignorant of The Secret.

248
00:14:39,001 --> 00:14:41,076
People went to work,
they did their job,

249
00:14:41,077 --> 00:14:42,600
they came home.

250
00:14:42,601 --> 00:14:44,700
They were on a treadmill

250
00:14:44,701 --> 00:14:48,700
With no power, because
The Secret was kept in the few.

251
00:14:48,701 --> 00:14:52,500
We live in a Universe
in which there are laws.

252
00:14:52,501 --> 00:14:54,302
Just as there's Law of Gravity;

253
00:14:54,303 --> 00:14:55,943
if you fall off the building,

254
00:14:55,944 --> 00:14:58,400
it doesn't matter whether you're
a good person or a bad person,

255
00:14:58,401 --> 00:15:00,000
you're gonna hit the ground.

256
00:15:01,000 --> 00:15:05,263
Everything that's around you
right now in your life,

257
00:15:05,264 --> 00:15:07,500
including the things you're
complaining about,

258
00:15:07,501 --> 00:15:08,807
you've attracted.

259
00:15:09,000 --> 00:15:13,255
Now, I know at first blush, that's gonna be something that you hate to hear.

261
00:15:13,256 --> 00:15:15,117
You're gonna immediately say

262
00:15:15,118 --> 00:15:16,612
I didn't attract the car accident,

263
00:15:16,613 --> 00:15:19,645
I didn't attract this particular client,

264
00:15:19,646 --> 00:15:22,000
I didn't particularly attract the debt,

265
00:15:22,001 --> 00:15:25,100
I didn't attract...whatever it happens
to be that you're complaining about.

266
00:15:25,101 --> 00:15:28,700
And I'm here to be
a little bit in your face

267
00:15:28,701 --> 00:15:31,200
and to say
"yes, you did attract it".

*Not absolutely so*
******

268
00:15:31,201 --> 00:15:34,701
And this is one of the hardest
concepts to get.

269
00:15:34,702 --> 00:15:38,103
But once you've accepted it,
it's life-transforming.

270
00:15:38,104 --> 00:15:40,964
This is part of the overall
giant Secret here.

271
00:15:40,965 --> 00:15:42,983
And most of us attract by default.

272
00:15:42,984 --> 00:15:45,337
We just think that we don't
have any control over it,

273
00:15:45,338 --> 00:15:47,996
our thoughts are on auto-pilot,
our feelings are on auto-pilot

274
00:15:47,997 --> 00:15:50,958
and so everything is just
brought to us by default.

275
00:15:50,959 --> 00:15:53,293
Now, if this is your first
time to hear this

276
00:15:53,294 --> 00:15:54,680
it may feel like:

277
00:15:54,681 --> 00:15:58,000
"oh, I have to now monitor my thoughts,
this is gonna be a lot of work".

278
00:15:58,001 --> 00:16:00,738
It will seem like that at first,

279
00:16:00,739 --> 00:16:02,616
but that's where the fun begins.

280
00:16:02,617 --> 00:16:06,869
We do not encourage that you
try to monitor your thoughts.

281
00:16:06,870 --> 00:16:09,321
That would sort of
make you crazy.

282
00:16:09,321 --> 00:16:10,671
There are so many thoughts

283
00:16:10,672 --> 00:16:13,603
coming to you from so
many different directions

284
00:16:13,604 --> 00:16:15,600
about so many different subjects.

285
00:16:15,601 --> 00:16:19,000
That's where your emotional
guidance system comes in.

286
00:16:19,800 --> 00:16:21,048
Your emotions,

287
00:16:21,049 --> 00:16:22,952
your emotional guidance system

288
00:16:22,953 --> 00:16:26,000
is what helps you to understand
what you're thinking.

289
00:16:26,300 --> 00:16:29,194
So, your thoughts
cause your feelings.

290
00:16:29,195 --> 00:16:32,600
The emotions are this incredible
gift that we have.

291
00:16:32,601 --> 00:16:35,400
To let us know
what we're attracting.

292
00:16:35,401 --> 00:16:38,552
There are only two emotions
from our perspective.

293
00:16:38,553 --> 00:16:41,400
One feels good
and one feels bad.

294
00:16:41,401 --> 00:16:44,093
You call them all sorts
of different things,

295
00:16:44,094 --> 00:16:46,627
but essentially all of those
negative emotions,

296
00:16:46,628 --> 00:16:48,539
whether you call it guilt

297
00:16:48,540 --> 00:16:51,084
or anger, or frustration,

298
00:16:51,085 --> 00:16:54,655
all feel much the same
- they do not feel good.

299
00:16:54,656 --> 00:16:56,920
And all of those,
are "guidance" saying:

300
00:16:56,921 --> 00:16:59,402
<i>that which you are thinking
about right now</i>

301
00:16:59,403 --> 00:17:02,508
<i>is not in line with
what you are really wanting.</i>

302
00:17:05,000 --> 00:17:09,301
On another level,
it's called "bad frequency"

303
00:17:09,302 --> 00:17:12,351
or "bad vibes"
or whatever you wanna call it.

304
00:17:12,352 --> 00:17:14,106
The one that feels good,

305
00:17:14,107 --> 00:17:17,040
that feeling of hope
or happiness or love,

306
00:17:17,041 --> 00:17:18,276
that good feeling,

307
00:17:18,277 --> 00:17:21,630
that positive emotion is,
guidance saying,

308
00:17:21,631 --> 00:17:23,686
that what you're thinking right now

309
00:17:23,687 --> 00:17:26,310
is in alignment
with what you're want.

310
00:17:26,311 --> 00:17:29,787
So, it's really so simple.
It's right there. The answers are:

311
00:17:29,788 --> 00:17:31,820
what am I attracting right now?
How do you feel? I feel good.

312
00:17:31,821 --> 00:17:33,055
Well good. keep doing that.

313
00:17:33,056 --> 00:17:37,440
Our feelings are a feedback
mechanism to us

314
00:17:37,441 --> 00:17:38,972
about whether we're on track or not,

315
00:17:38,973 --> 00:17:40,281
whether we're on course
or off course.

316
00:17:40,282 --> 00:17:42,894
The better you feel,
the more in alignment you are.

317
00:17:42,895 --> 00:17:46,134
The worse you feel,
the more out of alignment you are.

318
00:17:47,000 --> 00:17:50,419
What you are doing as
you are moving through the variety

319
00:17:50,420 --> 00:17:52,368
of your day-to-day experience;

320
00:17:52,369 --> 00:17:54,135
is you're offering thoughts

321
00:17:54,136 --> 00:17:57,092
that are literally formulating

322
00:17:57,093 --> 00:17:58,793
your future experience.

323
00:17:58,794 --> 00:18:01,305
And you can tell
by the way you feel

324
00:18:01,306 --> 00:18:04,416
if the things that
you're moving toward

325
00:18:04,417 --> 00:18:08,000
will please you
when you get there.

325
00:18:14,000 --> 00:18:22,000

326
00:18:22,001 --> 00:18:25,813
And you're getting exactly
what you're feeling about,

327
00:18:25,814 --> 00:18:28,000
not so much what you're
thinking about.

328
00:18:28,500 --> 00:18:36,500
That's why people, if they stub their toe, out of bed, they tend to spiral.

331
00:18:39,700 --> 00:18:44,000
The whole day goes like that, you know.

332
00:18:44,001 --> 00:18:46,049
They have no clue

333
00:18:46,050 --> 00:18:48,007
that a simple shifting
of their emotions

334
00:18:48,008 --> 00:18:51,587
can change their entire day,
and life.

335
00:18:51,588 --> 00:18:53,092
If you start out
having a good day

336
00:18:53,093 --> 00:18:55,593
and you're in that
particular happy feeling,

337
00:18:55,594 --> 00:19:00,753
as long as you don't allow
something to change your mood,

338
00:19:00,754 --> 00:19:03,660
you're gonna continue to attract,
by the Law of Attraction,

339
00:19:03,661 --> 00:19:05,948
more situations, circumstances, people

340
00:19:05,949 --> 00:19:08,329
that sustain that happy feeling.

341
00:19:08,330 --> 00:19:10,687
Good days, bad days,
rich get richer, poor gets poorer...

342
00:19:10,688 --> 00:19:15,000
it's all about what these people are
predominately and continually feeling.

343
00:19:15,001 --> 00:19:18,283
You can begin, right now,
to feel healthy.

344
00:19:18,284 --> 00:19:20,186
You can begin to feel prosperous.

345
00:19:20,187 --> 00:19:23,000
You can begin to feel the love
that's surrounding you

346
00:19:23,001 --> 00:19:25,000
even if it's not there.

347
00:19:25,001 --> 00:19:28,589
And what will happen is
the Universe will correspond

348
00:19:28,590 --> 00:19:30,705
to the nature of your song,

349
00:19:30,706 --> 00:19:34,041
the Universe will correspond
to the nature of that inner feeling

350
00:19:34,042 --> 00:19:38,283
and manifest,
because that's the way you feel.

352
00:19:38,284 --> 00:19:41,586
So basically, what you focus on
with thought and feeling

353
00:19:41,587 --> 00:19:43,371
is what you're attracting
to your experience

354
00:19:43,372 --> 00:19:45,500
whether or not
it's something you want.

355
00:19:52,605 --> 00:19:54,336
Every single time.

356
00:19:54,337 --> 00:19:55,788
No exception.

357
00:19:55,789 --> 00:19:57,656
It's hard to swallow,

358
00:19:57,657 --> 00:19:59,893
but when we can begin to open
ourselves up to that

359
00:19:59,894 --> 00:20:01,640
the ramifications are awesome.

360
00:20:01,641 --> 00:20:05,811
It means that whatever thought
has done in your life,

361
00:20:05,812 --> 00:20:07,397
it can be undone

362
00:20:07,398 --> 00:20:10,000
through a shift in your awareness.

363
00:20:16,983 --> 00:20:19,200
It's really important
that you feel good.

364
00:20:19,201 --> 00:20:24,546
Because this "feeling good" is what
goes out as a signal into the Universe

365
00:20:24,547 --> 00:20:27,773
and starts to attract more
of itself to you.

366
00:20:27,774 --> 00:20:29,944
So, the more you can feel good,

367
00:20:29,945 --> 00:20:33,362
the more you will attract
the things that help you feel good

368
00:20:33,363 --> 00:20:37,200
and all they keep bringing
you up, higher and higher.

369
00:20:37,201 --> 00:20:39,116
When you're feeling down,

370
00:20:39,117 --> 00:20:40,890
do you know that you can
change it like that.

371
00:20:40,891 --> 00:20:45,900
Put on a beautiful piece of music. Start singing.
That'll change your emotion.

*The Muslim has the treasures of the Quran and Azhkaar (supplications)*
*Verily in the remembrance of Allah do hearts find peace – Quran 13:28*
******

373
00:20:45,901 --> 00:20:48,300
Or think of something beautiful.

374
00:20:48,301 --> 00:20:51,000
Think of a baby,

375
00:20:51,001 --> 00:20:54,000
maybe one you love,

376
00:20:54,001 --> 00:20:56,409
and dwell on it.

377
00:20:56,410 --> 00:20:57,779
Really keep that thought in your mind,

378
00:20:57,780 --> 00:20:59,290
block everything out
but that thought.

379
00:20:59,291 --> 00:21:01,729
I guarantee you'll start to feel good.

380
00:21:01,730 --> 00:21:05,587
This principle applies to
your family pet, for instance

381
00:21:05,588 --> 00:21:06,840
which I believe they're wonderful

382
00:21:06,841 --> 00:21:08,800
because they put you in a
great emotional state.

382
00:21:08,801 --> 00:21:13,500
***And the Muslim has treasures that revive his heart beyond any comparison***
******

383
00:21:13,501 --> 00:21:16,617
When you feel love for your pet
that's a great state of love

384
00:21:16,618 --> 00:21:19,000
that's going to bring
goodness into your life.

385
00:21:22,000 --> 00:21:24,210
What a gift that is.

386
00:21:24,211 --> 00:21:27,275
And when you begin to
get the hang of this,

387
00:21:27,276 --> 00:21:30,685
when you begin to guide your thoughts
based upon the way they feel,

388
00:21:30,686 --> 00:21:32,410
and you begin to notice

389
00:21:32,411 --> 00:21:35,016
the correlation between what you're
feeling and thinking

390
00:21:35,017 --> 00:21:36,472
and what's coming back to you,

391
00:21:36,473 --> 00:21:37,689
before you know it,

392
00:21:37,690 --> 00:21:40,500
you will know that you're
the creator of your own reality.

393
00:21:40,501 --> 00:21:42,530
And those who are
watching from a distance

394
00:21:42,531 --> 00:21:44,703
will stand in amazement

395
00:21:44,704 --> 00:21:47,000
at the perfect life you live.

396
00:21:48,000 --> 00:21:50,924
Since I learned The Secret
and started applying it to my life,

397
00:21:50,925 --> 00:21:52,869
my life has truly become magical,

398
00:21:52,870 --> 00:21:54,833
I think the kind of life that
everybody dreams of

399
00:21:54,834 --> 00:21:56,210
and I live on a day-to-day basis.

400
00:21:56,211 --> 00:21:58,553
I live in a $4.5 million mansion,

401
00:21:58,554 --> 00:22:00,507
I have a wife to die for,

402
00:22:00,508 --> 00:22:03,459
I get to vacation in all the
fabulous spots of the world,

403
00:22:03,460 --> 00:22:06,234
I've climbed mountains,
I've explored, I've been on safari...

404
00:22:06,235 --> 00:22:10,080
And all of this happened,
and continues to happen,

405
00:22:10,081 --> 00:22:14,500
because of knowing
how to apply The Secret.

406
00:22:14,501 --> 00:22:19,500
Life can be absolutely phenomenal,
and it should be.

407
00:22:20,000 --> 00:22:21,700
And it will be

408
00:22:21,701 --> 00:22:24,400
when you start using The Secret.

409
00:22:37,800 --> 00:22:41,800
Well, a lot of people ask me what
their job is in the creative process

410
00:22:41,801 --> 00:22:44,188
and what the job of the Universe is.

411
00:22:44,199 --> 00:22:45,826
So let's look at that for a moment.

412
00:22:45,827 --> 00:22:48,286
Let's use this metaphor:
if you think about Aladdin and his lamp,

413
00:22:48,287 --> 00:22:49,700
you've probably heard of that one,

414
00:22:54,000 --> 00:22:56,360
Aladdin picks up the lamp,
he dust it off

415
00:22:56,361 --> 00:22:58,700
and out pops the genie.

416
00:23:09,000 --> 00:23:10,867
And the genie always says one thing:

417
00:23:10,867 --> 00:23:13,200
<i>"Your wish is my command." </i>

418
00:23:13,201 --> 00:23:16,555
If you trace the story
back to its origins,

419
00:23:16,556 --> 00:23:18,360
you know, we now think that
there's three wishes,

420
00:23:18,361 --> 00:23:19,837
but if you if you trace the story
back to its origins,

421
00:23:19,838 --> 00:23:22,421
there's absolutely no limit
whatsoever to the wishes.

422
00:23:22,422 --> 00:23:24,089
Think about that one.
ÊÝßÑ Ýí Ðáß

423
00:23:24,090 --> 00:23:28,608
Now, let's take this metaphor, blow it up
and apply it to you and your life.

424
00:23:28,609 --> 00:23:31,349
Remember, Aladdin is the one who
always asks for what he wants.

425
00:23:31,350 --> 00:23:34,657
Then you've got the Universe at large
which is this grand genie.

426
00:23:34,658 --> 00:23:37,226
And traditions have called
that so many different things -

427
00:23:37,227 --> 00:23:41,357
the holy guardian angel, your higher self,
I mean we can put any label on it,

428
00:23:41,358 --> 00:23:43,143
and you choose the one
that works best for you.

429
00:23:43,144 --> 00:23:47,200
But every tradition has told us
there's something bigger than us.

430
00:23:49,600 --> 00:23:51,842
And the genie always says one thing:

431
00:23:51,843 --> 00:23:54,200
<i>"Your wish is my command." </i>

432
00:23:54,201 --> 00:23:57,274
So, we'd like to say to you
that the creative process

433
00:23:57,275 --> 00:23:58,898
is a three step process.

434
00:23:58,899 --> 00:24:02,346
Step one is:
you must ask for what you want.

435
00:24:02,347 --> 00:24:04,719
You do not need use words to ask.

436
00:24:04,720 --> 00:24:07,752
In fact, the Universe is not even
hearing the words from you.

437
00:24:07,753 --> 00:24:11,600
The Universe is responding
completely to your thought.

438
00:24:17,000 --> 00:24:19,074
What is it you really want?

439
00:24:19,075 --> 00:24:24,258
Sit down and write it on a piece of paper.
Write it in the present tense.

440
00:24:24,259 --> 00:24:27,750
You might begin by writing,
"I am so happy and grateful now that..."

441
00:24:27,751 --> 00:24:30,916
and then explain how do you
want your life to be

442
00:24:30,917 --> 00:24:33,000
in every area.

443
00:24:33,001 --> 00:24:34,561
And this is really fun.

444
00:24:34,562 --> 00:24:37,474
This is like having the Universe
as your catalogue

445
00:24:37,475 --> 00:24:40,801
and you flip through, and you go
"well, I'd like to have this experience,

446
00:24:40,802 --> 00:24:42,021
and I'd like to have that product,

447
00:24:42,022 --> 00:24:44,115
and I'd like to have a person like that",

448
00:24:44,116 --> 00:24:47,463
it is you just placing your order
with the Universe.

*Wish for what you desire, and it will be - Verses often quoted by the Prophet P.*
******

449
00:24:47,464 --> 00:24:49,673
It's really that easy.

*I Am according to My subject’s opinion of Me... - Hadeeth*
******

450
00:24:50,674 --> 00:24:54,556
The second step is: answer.
An answer to what you're asking.

451
00:24:54,557 --> 00:24:57,193
And that is not your work
in your physical form.

452
00:24:57,194 --> 00:24:59,170
The Universe will do that step for you.

(*by the Power of God*)
******

453
00:24:59,171 --> 00:25:03,572
All of the Universal forces are responding
with the thoughts that you set in motion.

454
00:25:03,572 --> 00:25:06,127
<i>"Your wish is my command." </i>

455
00:25:06,128 --> 00:25:11,675
And the Universe will start to
rearrange itself to make it happen for you.

456
00:25:11,676 --> 00:25:15,756
Most of us have never allowed ourselves
to want what we truly want

457
00:25:15,757 --> 00:25:18,157
because we can't see
how it's going to manifest.

458
00:25:18,158 --> 00:25:22,640
If you do just a little research,
it is gonna become evident to you

459
00:25:22,641 --> 00:25:25,827
that anyone that ever accomplished anything

460
00:25:25,827 --> 00:25:29,718
did not know how they were gonna do it,
they only knew they were gonna do it.

461
00:25:29,719 --> 00:25:32,444
You do not need to know how
it's gonna come about.

462
00:25:32,445 --> 00:25:35,341
You do not need to know how
the Universe will rearrange itself.

463
00:25:35,342 --> 00:25:36,548
You don't know how.

464
00:25:36,549 --> 00:25:40,100
It'll be shown to you
you will attract the way.

465
00:25:42,000 --> 00:25:46,039
So, then our friends say,
something must be going terribly wrong.

466
00:25:46,040 --> 00:25:50,000
Because, I know I am asking
so where is my stuff.

467
00:25:50,001 --> 00:25:54,767
And we say, you are asking,
you are completing step one,

468
00:25:54,768 --> 00:25:55,845
you can't help but do that.

469
00:25:55,846 --> 00:25:59,635
The Universe is answering,
every time. No exception.

470
00:25:59,636 --> 00:26:02,370
But there is another step
that you must understand,

471
00:26:02,271 --> 00:26:05,919
and it is called step three,
which is the receiving step

472
00:26:05,920 --> 00:26:11,203
which means, you must bring yourself
into alignment with what you're asking for.

473
00:26:11,204 --> 00:26:15,200
When you're in alignment with
what you want, you feel wonderful.

474
00:26:16,000 --> 00:26:19,380
That's where the enthusiasm is,
that's where joy is,

475
00:26:19,381 --> 00:26:23,000
that's where the appreciation is,
that's where that feeling of passion is.

475
00:26:23,001 --> 00:26:26,500
(his father bought it for him!)
******

476
00:26:26,500 --> 00:26:30,155
But when you are feeling despair,
or fear, or anger,

477
00:26:30,156 --> 00:26:34,681
those are strong indications that you
are not right now in alignment

478
00:26:34,682 --> 00:26:37,000
with what you're asking for.

479
00:26:38,800 --> 00:26:43,417
And so, when you begin to realize
that the way you feel is everything,

480
00:26:43,418 --> 00:26:47,144
and you begin to direct your thoughts
based upon how they feel,

481
00:26:47,145 --> 00:26:50,553
little by little you can find
the feeling place of it,

482
00:26:50,554 --> 00:26:51,836
and now you are one with it,

483
00:26:51,837 --> 00:26:56,300
and now it must manifest
into your experience.

484
00:27:13,000 --> 00:27:15,878
And when you turn that
fantasy into a fact

485
00:27:15,879 --> 00:27:18,414
you're in the position build
bigger and better fantasies

486
00:27:18,415 --> 00:27:21,234
and that, my friend
is the creative process.

487
00:27:21,235 --> 00:27:25,996
So, the Law of Attraction, the study
and practice of the Law of Attraction

488
00:27:25,997 --> 00:27:30,758
is just figuring out what will help you
generate the feelings of having it now.

489
00:27:30,759 --> 00:27:34,681
Go test-drive that car.
Go shop for that home, get in the house,

490
00:27:34,682 --> 00:27:38,027
do whatever you have to do
to generate the feelings of having it now

491
00:27:38,028 --> 00:27:39,214
and remember them.

492
00:27:39,215 --> 00:27:43,080
Whatever you can do to do that
will help you to literally attract it.

493
00:27:43,081 --> 00:27:46,587
It could be, you wake up and it's
just there, it's manifested.

494
00:27:46,588 --> 00:27:51,300
Or you might get some inspired idea
of some action to take.

495
00:27:54,500 --> 00:27:58,557
You certainly shouldn't be going,
"well, I could do it this way but man I hate that"

496
00:27:58,558 --> 00:28:01,000
'cause you're not on the right track
if that's the case.

497
00:28:01,500 --> 00:28:03,526
Action will sometimes be required,

498
00:28:03,527 --> 00:28:07,086
but if you're really doing it in line
with what Universe is trying to deliver,

499
00:28:07,087 --> 00:28:10,241
it's gonna feel joyous,
you're gonna feel so alive,

500
00:28:10,242 --> 00:28:13,000
time will just stop,
you could do it all day...

501
00:28:15,000 --> 00:28:17,900
The Universe likes speed.

502
00:28:17,901 --> 00:28:21,906
Don't delay, don't second guess,
don't doubt,

503
00:28:21,907 --> 00:28:24,999
when the opportunity's there,
when the impulse is there,

504
00:28:25,000 --> 00:28:31,000
when the intuitive nudge
from within is there - act.

505
00:28:31,001 --> 00:28:33,500
That's your job.

506
00:28:33,501 --> 00:28:35,400
And that's all you have to do.

507
00:28:35,401 --> 00:28:38,435
You will attract everything
that you require.

508
00:28:38,436 --> 00:28:40,516
If it's money you need,
you'll attract it.

509
00:28:40,517 --> 00:28:43,011
If it's people you need,
you'll attract it.

510
00:28:43,012 --> 00:28:46,200
If it's a certain book you need,
you'll attract it.

511
00:28:46,201 --> 00:28:50,200
You've got to pay attention
to what you're attracted to.

512
00:28:50,201 --> 00:28:52,784
Because, as you hold images
of what you want

513
00:28:52,785 --> 00:28:56,000
you're gonna be attracted to things,
and they're gonna be attracted to you.

514
00:28:56,001 --> 00:29:00,414
But it literally moves into
physical reality with and through you.

515
00:29:00,415 --> 00:29:02,568
And it does that by law.

516
00:29:02,569 --> 00:29:05,200
You can start with nothing.

517
00:29:05,201 --> 00:29:08,500
And out of nothing,
and out of no way

518
00:29:08,501 --> 00:29:10,200
the way will be made.

519
00:29:10,201 --> 00:29:12,934
Think of this:
a car driving through the night,

520
00:29:12,935 --> 00:29:15,636
the headlights only go
100-200 ft forward,

521
00:29:15,637 --> 00:29:18,710
and you can make it all the way
from California to New York

522
00:29:18,711 --> 00:29:21,591
driving through the dark, 'cause all
you have to see is the next 200 ft.

523
00:29:21,592 --> 00:29:24,618
That's how life tends to unfold before us.

524
00:29:24,619 --> 00:29:27,884
And if we just trust that the next 200 ft will unfold after that,

525
00:29:27,885 --> 00:29:29,500
and the next 200 ft
will unfold after that...

526
00:29:29,501 --> 00:29:31,017
your life will keep unfolding,

527
00:29:31,018 --> 00:29:33,551
and it will eventually get you
to the destination

528
00:29:33,552 --> 00:29:36,608
of whatever it is you truly want,
because you want.

529
00:29:45,201 --> 00:29:48,085
Well, another thing people wonder about
is - how  long this is gonna take.

530
00:29:48,086 --> 00:29:52,240
How long it will take to manifest
the car, the relationship, the money,

531
00:29:52,241 --> 00:29:53,600
or whatever it happens to be...

532
00:29:53,601 --> 00:29:56,795
Well, I don't have any rule book

533
00:29:56,796 --> 00:30:00,711
that says it's gonna take you
30 minutes, or 3 days, or 30 days.

534
00:30:00,712 --> 00:30:05,239
I think it's more a matter of you
being in alignment with the Universe itself.

535
00:30:05,240 --> 00:30:08,076
Sizes - it's nothing to the Universe.

536
00:30:08,077 --> 00:30:13,542
It is no more difficult to attract,
on a scientific level, something that we consider huge,

537
00:30:13,543 --> 00:30:16,200
to something that we consider
infinitesimally small.

538
00:30:16,201 --> 00:30:20,305
The Universe does, everything it does
with zero effort.

539
00:30:20,306 --> 00:30:25,063
Grass doesn't strain to grow, it's effortless.
It's just this great design.

540
00:30:25,064 --> 00:30:28,228
It's all about what's going on up here.
It's about what we put in place,

541
00:30:28,229 --> 00:30:30,550
saying, this is big -
it's gonna take some time,

542
00:30:30,551 --> 00:30:33,155
this is small -
oh, I'll give it an hour.

543
00:30:33,156 --> 00:30:35,580
You know, those are our rules
that we define.

544
00:30:35,581 --> 00:30:37,827
There are no rules
according to the Universe.

*God’s Power Has no limits*
******

545
00:30:37,828 --> 00:30:40,993
If you provide the feelings of
having it now, it will respond.

*I Am according to My subject’s opinion of Me... - Hadeeth*
******

546
00:30:40,994 --> 00:30:43,289
Some people have an easier time
with little things.

547
00:30:43,290 --> 00:30:46,227
So we sometimes say, we'll start with
something small, like a cup of coffee.

548
00:30:46,228 --> 00:30:49,124
Make it your attention
to attract a cup of coffee today.

549
00:30:49,125 --> 00:30:53,800
Hold an image of talking to an old friend
that you haven't seen for a long time.

550
00:30:53,801 --> 00:30:57,279
Somehow another someone is gonna
start talking to you about that person.

551
00:30:57,280 --> 00:31:00,413
That person's going to phone you
or you'll get a letter from him.

552
00:31:00,414 --> 00:31:04,754
People were amazed how I line up car parks.

553
00:31:04,755 --> 00:31:08,222
And I've done this right from
when I first understood The Secret.

*Hope or what you desire and it will be... - Verses often quoted by the Prophet P.*
******

554
00:31:08,223 --> 00:31:14,026
I would visualize a car space
exactly where I wanted

*Hope or what you desire and it will be... - Verses often quoted by the Prophet P.*
******

555
00:31:14,027 --> 00:31:18,535
and 95% of the time it would be there for me,
and I'd just pull straight in.

*Hope or what you desire and it will be... - Verses often quoted by the Prophet P.*
******

557
00:31:18,536 --> 00:31:20,714
5% of the time I'd have to wait
just a minute or two

*Hope or what you desire and it will be... - Verses often quoted by the Prophet P.*
******

558
00:31:20,715 --> 00:31:22,510
and the person would pull out
and I'd pull in.

559
00:31:22,511 --> 00:31:24,927
So I do that all the time.

559
00:31:24,928 --> 00:31:28,100
*I Am according to My subject’s opinion of Me; whether good or bad - Hadeeth*
******

559
00:31:28,101 --> 00:31:37,500
*God allows to dominate the son of Adam, only those whom he fears;
and if the son of Adam fears none but God, God would not empower anyone over him.
And the son of Adam is left to whoever he has faith in;
and if he has faith but in God, God Will not Leave him to other than Him - Hadeeth: Tirmizhi*
******

560
00:31:37,501 --> 00:31:43,816
A lot of people feel stuck or imprisoned
or confined by their current circumstances.

561
00:31:43,817 --> 00:31:47,837
And I'm trying to point out that,
whatever your circumstances right now,

562
00:31:47,838 --> 00:31:50,700
that is only your current reality.

563
00:31:50,701 --> 00:31:55,898
And current reality will begin to change
as a result of watching this

564
00:31:55,899 --> 00:31:58,300
and beginning to use The Secret.

565
00:31:58,301 --> 00:32:00,635
But sometimes it feels like you're stuck

566
00:32:00,636 --> 00:32:03,861
because you continue to think the same
thoughts over and over again.

567
00:32:03,862 --> 00:32:07,560
And so you tend to get the same
results over and over again.

568
00:32:07,561 --> 00:32:09,468
And the reason is because:

569
00:32:09,469 --> 00:32:15,682
most people offer the majority of their thought
in response to what they observe

570
00:32:16,000 --> 00:32:20,541
You see, if you're just looking at what is
then you're just thinking about what is.

571
00:32:20,542 --> 00:32:24,377
And when you think about what is,
Law of Attraction gives you more of it.

572
00:32:24,378 --> 00:32:28,343
And then, if you just observe what is,
then you're just thinking about what is.

573
00:32:28,344 --> 00:32:31,600
And Law of Attraction
gives you more of what is.

574
00:32:31,601 --> 00:32:36,213
And then, if you just observe what...
We've been over this, have we?

575
00:32:36,214 --> 00:32:39,562
You have to find a way that
you are approaching what is

576
00:32:39,563 --> 00:32:42,000
through a different vantage point.

577
00:32:42,001 --> 00:32:44,674
Most people look at their current
state of affairs, and they say,

578
00:32:44,675 --> 00:32:45,638
"this is who I am".

579
00:32:45,639 --> 00:32:47,600
That's not who you are.

580
00:32:47,601 --> 00:32:49,522
That's who you were.

581
00:32:49,523 --> 00:32:52,885
You see, if you look at your
current state of affairs right now,

582
00:32:52,886 --> 00:32:55,168
let's say, for instance, that you don't
have a lot of money in your bank account,

583
00:32:55,169 --> 00:32:58,146
or you don't have the relationship
that you want,

584
00:32:58,147 --> 00:32:59,708
or your health and fitness
isn't up to par,

585
00:32:59,709 --> 00:33:01,342
that's not who you are.

586
00:33:01,343 --> 00:33:04,516
That's the residual outcome
of your past thoughts and actions.

587
00:33:04,517 --> 00:33:07,482
So we're constantly living in this
residual, if you will,

588
00:33:07,483 --> 00:33:10,284
of the thoughts and the actions we've taken in the past.

589
00:33:10,285 --> 00:33:13,279
When you look at your current state
of affairs and define yourself by that

590
00:33:13,280 --> 00:33:18,786
then you doom yourself to have
nothing more than the same in the future.

591
00:33:25,001 --> 00:33:27,900
OK, what can you do right now
to begin to turn your life around?

592
00:33:27,901 --> 00:33:30,353
I'll tell you two or three things.

593
00:33:33,601 --> 00:33:36,221
Start making a list of things
to be grateful for.

594
00:33:36,222 --> 00:33:39,359
Start with that,
because this shifts your energy,

595
00:33:39,360 --> 00:33:41,236
it starts to shift your thinking.

596
00:33:41,237 --> 00:33:45,543
Where before this exercise you might be
focusing on what you don't have,

597
00:33:45,544 --> 00:33:47,222
and you might be focusing
on your complaints,

598
00:33:47,223 --> 00:33:49,949
and you might be focusing on ... whatever the problems are;

599
00:33:49,950 --> 00:33:53,164
when you do this exercise
you start to go in a different direction,

600
00:33:53,165 --> 00:33:56,715
you start to be grateful for all
the things that you feel good about.

601
00:33:56,716 --> 00:34:00,198
Gratitude is absolutely the way
to bring more into your life.

*If you thank, I will give you more (S14:A7)*
******

602
00:34:00,199 --> 00:34:03,808
Every man knows, that when his wife's
appreciating him for the little things he does,

603
00:34:03,809 --> 00:34:05,851
what does he wanna do?
He wants to do more.

604
00:34:05,852 --> 00:34:10,310
It's always about the appreciation.
It pulls things in, it attracts support.

605
00:34:10,311 --> 00:34:14,452
I've said for many years that whatever we
think about and thank about, we bring about.

606
00:34:14,453 --> 00:34:17,596
Because that's that feeling that
you have to have, you know,

607
00:34:17,597 --> 00:34:20,713
and so for me, it's been such a powerful exercise every morning

608
00:34:20,714 --> 00:34:24,300
to get up and say "thank you".
When my feet hit the floor "thank you".

609
00:34:24,301 --> 00:34:27,329
And then I start running through
what I'm grateful for

610
00:34:27,330 --> 00:34:30,595
as I'm going to brush my teeth
and do the things I do in the morning.

611
00:34:30,596 --> 00:34:38,000
And I'm not just thinking about them and doing some rote routine
but I'm putting it out there and I'm feeling the feelings of gratitude.

*...and know that God Will not answer a prayer from an inattentive and playful heart - Haddeeth*
******

613
00:34:38,001 --> 00:34:41,608
Because as soon as you start to feel differently
about what you already have,

614
00:34:41,609 --> 00:34:44,416
you will start to attract more
of the good things,

615
00:34:44,417 --> 00:34:45,787
more of the things you can
be grateful for.

616
00:34:45,788 --> 00:34:47,522
Because, you can look around and say,

617
00:34:47,523 --> 00:34:49,593
"well look, I don't have the car I want,
I don't have the house I want,

618
00:34:49,594 --> 00:34:51,263
I don't have the health I want,
I don't have the spouse I want..."

619
00:34:51,264 --> 00:34:52,486
Back up. Back up.

620
00:34:52,487 --> 00:34:54,200
Those are all the things
that you don't want.

621
00:34:54,201 --> 00:34:58,100
Focus on what you already have
that you're grateful for.

622
00:34:58,101 --> 00:35:02,196
And it might be,
you have the eyes to watch this.

623
00:35:02,197 --> 00:35:04,231
It might be the clothes that you have.

624
00:35:04,232 --> 00:35:07,799
Yes, you might prefer something else
and you might get something else pretty soon

625
00:35:07,800 --> 00:35:09,966
if you start feeling grateful
for what you have.

626
00:35:09,967 --> 00:35:13,000
I think everybody goes
through times when they say,

627
00:35:13,001 --> 00:35:16,076
"oh man, things aren't working right"
or "things are going bad".

628
00:35:16,077 --> 00:35:18,733
And there were some things
going on in my family...

629
00:35:18,734 --> 00:35:19,987
and I found a rock.

630
00:35:19,988 --> 00:35:22,661
And I'm just sitting here holding this rock,
you might see me carrying it around.

631
00:35:22,662 --> 00:35:24,465
I found a rock.
I stuck it in my pocket.

632
00:35:24,466 --> 00:35:27,500
And I said, "you know what,
every time I touch this rock

633
00:35:27,501 --> 00:35:30,335
I'm gonna think of something
that I'm grateful for".

634
00:35:30,336 --> 00:35:34,060
And so every morning, when I get up
in the morning, I pick it up off the dresser

635
00:35:34,061 --> 00:35:35,015
and put it in my pocket,

636
00:35:35,016 --> 00:35:37,236
and I go through the things
that I am grateful for.

637
00:35:37,237 --> 00:35:39,600
At night, what do you do?
You empty your pocket

638
00:35:40,500 --> 00:35:42,500
and there it is again.

639
00:35:43,000 --> 00:35:45,338
And I've had some different
experiences with that.

640
00:35:45,339 --> 00:35:46,729
I've had some amazing
experiences.

641
00:35:46,730 --> 00:35:50,002
I had a guy from South Africa.
He saw me dropping it.

642
00:35:50,003 --> 00:35:50,843
He said "what is that"?

643
00:35:50,844 --> 00:35:51,994
<i>What's that?</i>

644
00:35:51,995 --> 00:35:54,940
I explained it to him, so he started
calling it a "gratitude rock".

645
00:35:54,941 --> 00:35:57,000
<i>Gratitude rock.</i>

646
00:35:58,000 --> 00:36:01,600
Two weeks later I got an e-mail
from him from South Africa.

647
00:36:04,000 --> 00:36:06,888
He said, "my son is dying
from a rare disease,

648
00:36:06,889 --> 00:36:08,483
it's a type of hepatitis".

649
00:36:08,484 --> 00:36:11,500
"would you send me three gratitude rocks?"

650
00:36:11,501 --> 00:36:14,252
They were just rocks I found
off the street, you know,

651
00:36:14,253 --> 00:36:16,000
so I said, "sure".

652
00:36:18,700 --> 00:36:21,473
I had to make sure that
the rocks were very special.

653
00:36:21,474 --> 00:36:25,500
And so I went out to the stream,
looked, picked up the right rocks

654
00:36:25,501 --> 00:36:28,000
and sent them off to him.

655
00:36:28,300 --> 00:36:31,300
Four or five months later
I get an e-mail from him.

656
00:36:31,301 --> 00:36:35,050
He said, "my son's better,
now he's doing terrific"

657
00:36:35,051 --> 00:36:36,982
and he said, "you need to
know something"

658
00:36:36,983 --> 00:36:41,404
he said, "we've sold over
a thousand rocks at $10 a piece

659
00:36:41,405 --> 00:36:46,394
as gratitude rocks, and we raised all this money for charity, thank you very much".

660
00:36:46,395 --> 00:36:50,720
And so it's very important to be in
an attitude of gratitude, as I call it.

661
00:36:50,721 --> 00:36:54,872
Another thing that I would suggest
that you do right now to turn your life around,

662
00:36:54,873 --> 00:36:57,721
and this is so huge,

663
00:36:57,722 --> 00:36:59,750
that I can't find the words to describe

664
00:36:59,751 --> 00:37:01,700
just how powerful this can be for you...

665
00:37:11,600 --> 00:37:16,677
I took the visualization process
from the Apollo programme

666
00:37:16,678 --> 00:37:21,500
and instituted it during the 1980's
and 90's into the Olympic programme.

667
00:37:21,501 --> 00:37:25,004
It was called "Visual Motor Rehearsal".

668
00:37:25,005 --> 00:37:29,600
When you visualize,
then you materialize.

669
00:37:29,601 --> 00:37:32,969
And the interesting thing
about the mind is

670
00:37:32,970 --> 00:37:34,439
we took Olympic athletes

671
00:37:34,440 --> 00:37:37,714
and then hooked them up to
sophisticated bio feedback equipment.

672
00:37:37,715 --> 00:37:42,200
And had them run their event
only in their mind.

673
00:37:45,000 --> 00:37:48,218
Incredibly, the same muscles fired

674
00:37:48,219 --> 00:37:52,252
in the same sequence, when they were
running the race in their mind

675
00:37:52,253 --> 00:37:55,500
as where they were running it on the track.
How this could be?

676
00:37:55,501 --> 00:37:58,290
Because the mind can't distinguish
whether you're really doing it

677
00:37:58,291 --> 00:38:00,600
or whether it's just a practice.

678
00:38:00,601 --> 00:38:05,000
I think, if you've been there in the mind,
you'll go there in the body.

679
00:38:08,000 --> 00:38:09,935
When you're visualizing,

680
00:38:09,936 --> 00:38:13,500
when you've got that picture
playing out in your mind,

681
00:38:13,501 --> 00:38:20,200
always, and only,
dwell upon the end results.

682
00:38:24,500 --> 00:38:25,599
Here's an example:

683
00:38:25,600 --> 00:38:29,641
look at the back of your hands right now.
Really, look at the back of your hands.

684
00:38:29,642 --> 00:38:31,063
The colour of your skin,

685
00:38:31,064 --> 00:38:34,856
the freckles, the blood vessels, the rings,
the fingernails, the fake fingernails...

686
00:38:34,857 --> 00:38:38,327
take in all those details
right before you close your eyes.

687
00:38:38,328 --> 00:38:43,068
And then see those hands, your fingers
wrapping around the steering wheel

688
00:38:43,069 --> 00:38:45,300
of your brand new car.

689
00:38:53,000 --> 00:38:59,579
This is such a holographic experience,
so real, so real in this moment,

690
00:38:59,580 --> 00:39:01,980
that you don't even feel
like you need the car

691
00:39:01,981 --> 00:39:05,046
because, it feels like
you already have it.

692
00:39:05,047 --> 00:39:10,595
It's the feeling that really creates the attraction, not just picture of the thought.

*Supplicate God while being <b><u>certain</b></u> of the answer - Hadeeth*
(so if this “feeling” does not happen, then there was no “certitude”)
******

694
00:39:10,596 --> 00:39:16,275
I think, for a lot of people, they think,
"well if I think the positive thoughts
or if I visualize having what I want

696
00:39:16,276 --> 00:39:17,243
that'll be enough",

697
00:39:17,244 --> 00:39:21,300
but if you're doing that
and still not feeling abundant, or loving and joyful

698
00:39:22,400 --> 00:39:27,466
then it doesn't, for my mind,
really create the power of the attraction.

699
00:39:27,467 --> 00:39:30,542
This is where The Secret actually
moves into action.

700
00:39:30,543 --> 00:39:35,194
You put yourself in a feeling place
of really being in that car,

701
00:39:35,195 --> 00:39:38,190
not "oh, I wish I could get that car",
or "someday I'll have that car".

702
00:39:38,191 --> 00:39:41,237
Because, that's a very definite
feeling associated with that.

703
00:39:41,238 --> 00:39:44,100
It's not "in an hour",
it's not, you know, "it's in the future",

704
00:39:44,101 --> 00:39:47,165
- if you stay in that feeling,
it will always be in the future.

705
00:39:47,166 --> 00:39:49,198
Feel the joy, feel the happiness.

706
00:39:49,199 --> 00:39:51,831
No matter how silly it seems
in that dark and quiet room,

707
00:39:51,832 --> 00:39:53,600
you're going "woohoo!"

708
00:39:53,601 --> 00:39:54,608
Do it!

709
00:39:54,609 --> 00:39:58,500
A lot of people will say, "you know
come on, do I have to do that?"

710
00:39:58,501 --> 00:40:01,200
How bad do you want change?

711
00:40:05,800 --> 00:40:12,634
Now, that feeling and that inner seeing
will begin to be an open doorway

712
00:40:12,635 --> 00:40:16,989
through which the power of the Universe
will begin to express.

712
00:40:16,990 --> 00:40:24,000

*Believers, whatever their religion,
do not hesitate a second about this*
******

713
00:40:24,001 --> 00:40:26,782
Our job is not to figure out the how.

714
00:40:26,783 --> 00:40:31,006
The how will show up out of the
commitment and the belief and the what.

715
00:40:31,007 --> 00:40:33,000
The hows are the domain of the Universe.

716
00:40:33,001 --> 00:40:38,756
It always knows the shortest, quickest,
fastest, most harmonious way

717
00:40:38,757 --> 00:40:40,238
between you and your dream.

718
00:40:40,239 --> 00:40:44,356
If you're turning over to the Universe
you will be surprised and dazzled

719
00:40:44,357 --> 00:40:51,300
by what is delivered to you.
This is where magic and miracles happen.

******

721
00:40:51,301 --> 00:40:54,759
I would say that you wanna do this
virtually daily, but

722
00:40:54,760 --> 00:40:58,855
my disclaimer is: this should
never be a chore.

723
00:40:58,856 --> 00:41:02,851
What's really bottom line importance here
to the whole Secret is feeling good.

724
00:41:02,852 --> 00:41:05,848
You wanna feel exhilarated
by this whole process.

725
00:41:05,849 --> 00:41:10,576
You wanna be high, happy,
in tune as much as possible.

726
00:41:10,577 --> 00:41:14,758
The only difference between people
who really are living this way

727
00:41:14,759 --> 00:41:17,955
and people who aren't living
in the magic of life

728
00:41:17,956 --> 00:41:20,354
is that the people who are living
in the magic of life

729
00:41:20,355 --> 00:41:23,514
have habituated ways of being.

730
00:41:23,515 --> 00:41:25,759
They have habituated this process

731
00:41:25,760 --> 00:41:28,356
and magic happens with them
wherever they go.

732
00:41:28,357 --> 00:41:30,860
Because they remember it
and they do it all the time,

733
00:41:30,861 --> 00:41:32,500
not as a one-time event.

734
00:41:32,501 --> 00:41:35,885
People hold that for a while,
and they're really a champion at it,

735
00:41:35,886 --> 00:41:38,989
and they say, "you know what,
I'm fired up, I saw this programme

736
00:41:38,990 --> 00:41:40,314
and I'm gonna change my life.

737
00:41:40,315 --> 00:41:43,523
And yet, you know, results aren't
showing, results aren't showing."

738
00:41:43,524 --> 00:41:46,823
And beneath the surface
it's just about ready to break through.

739
00:41:46,824 --> 00:41:51,447
And someone will look at the surface results
and go, "this stuff doesn't work!"

740
00:41:51,448 --> 00:41:56,500
And you know what, the Universe says
"your wish is my command".

*The subject (‘s prayers) will always be answered … unless he hastens - Hadeeth*
******

741
00:41:56,501 --> 00:41:58,745
And it goes down.

742
00:41:58,746 --> 00:42:00,500
Knowing the Law of Attraction

743
00:42:00,501 --> 00:42:05,011
I wanted to really put it to use and
to see if... you know... what will happen.

744
00:42:05,012 --> 00:42:09,583
And in 1995 I started to create
something called "the vision board",

745
00:42:09,584 --> 00:42:12,161
where I take something that
I would want to achieve

746
00:42:12,162 --> 00:42:13,761
or something that I'd want to attract,

747
00:42:13,762 --> 00:42:17,068
like a car, or a watch
or the soul mate of may dreams,

748
00:42:17,069 --> 00:42:20,700
and I'd put a picture of what I want
right up on this board called "the vision board".

749
00:42:20,701 --> 00:42:22,856
And every day
I would sit in my office

750
00:42:22,857 --> 00:42:24,082
and I would look up at this board

751
00:42:24,083 --> 00:42:26,347
and I would start to visualize,
I'd really get into the state

752
00:42:26,348 --> 00:42:28,800
of having already acquired it.

753
00:42:32,000 --> 00:42:33,746
I was getting ready to move

754
00:42:33,747 --> 00:42:36,110
and so we put all the furniture,
all the boxes in the storage.

755
00:42:36,111 --> 00:42:39,122
And I made three different moves
over a period of five years.

756
00:42:39,123 --> 00:42:41,373
And I ended up in California

757
00:42:41,374 --> 00:42:44,600
and bought this house,
renovated it for a year,

758
00:42:44,601 --> 00:42:50,000
and then had all the stuff brought
from my former home five years earlier.

759
00:42:50,001 --> 00:42:55,160
One morning, at 7.30 in the morning,
my son comes into my office

760
00:42:55,161 --> 00:42:57,628
and one of the boxes that was
sealed for five years

761
00:42:57,629 --> 00:42:59,400
was right at the doorstep.

762
00:42:59,401 --> 00:43:03,214
And my son came in and was sitting on the box,
banging away at the box.

763
00:43:03,215 --> 00:43:05,828
And I said, "sweetheart, will you please
stop, I'm doing some work here", and he says

764
00:43:05,829 --> 00:43:07,822
<i>"What's in the boxes, daddy?" </i>

765
00:43:07,823 --> 00:43:09,449
And I said, "well honey,
those are my vision boards."

766
00:43:09,450 --> 00:43:11,073
<i>"What's a vision board?" </i>

767
00:43:11,074 --> 00:43:14,247
I said, "well, it's where I put all
my goals up, I cut them out

768
00:43:14,247 --> 00:43:17,345
and I put all my goals up
as something that I want to achieve in my life".

769
00:43:17,346 --> 00:43:20,142
And of course, at 5 and a half
years old he didn't understand.

770
00:43:20,143 --> 00:43:23,600
And so I said, "sweetie, let me just show you,
that'll be the easiest way to do it."

771
00:43:23,601 --> 00:43:25,385
And so I cut the box open

772
00:43:25,386 --> 00:43:29,838
and when I pulled up the vision boards,
there was the picture on there of a home

773
00:43:29,839 --> 00:43:32,771
that I was visualizing five years earlier

774
00:43:32,772 --> 00:43:36,739
and what shocking to me was
we were living in that house,

775
00:43:36,740 --> 00:43:38,091
not a house like it.

776
00:43:38,092 --> 00:43:42,125
I had bought my dream home, renovated it
and didn't even know it.

777
00:43:42,126 --> 00:43:44,871
But I looked at that house and I started to cry,

778
00:43:44,872 --> 00:43:46,279
'cause I was just blown away.

779
00:43:46,280 --> 00:43:49,100
<i>"Why are you crying?" </i>

780
00:43:49,101 --> 00:43:52,907
"Honey, I finally understand
how the Law of Attraction works,

781
00:43:52,908 --> 00:43:54,526
I finally understand the power
of visualization,

782
00:43:54,527 --> 00:43:58,720
I finally understand everything that
I've read, everything that I worked with,

783
00:43:58,721 --> 00:44:00,800
my whole life,
the way I built companies -

784
00:44:00,801 --> 00:44:03,031
it worked for my home as well.

785
00:44:03,032 --> 00:44:06,100
And I bought our dream home
and didn't even know it."

786
00:44:14,501 --> 00:44:18,500
Decide what you want, believe you deserve it,

787
00:44:18,501 --> 00:44:23,000
and believe you can have it,
believe it's possible for you

*(That God Will not deprive you of it because of your sins)*
*... and He forgiveth much (S42:A30)*
* If God were to punish mankind according to what they deserve, He would not leave a living creature on the surface of the earth* (S35-A45)
******

790
00:44:23,001 --> 00:44:26,800
and then close your eyes
every day for a several minutes

791
00:44:26,801 --> 00:44:28,777
and visualize having what you
already want

792
00:44:28,778 --> 00:44:30,784
and feeling the feelings of
already having them.

793
00:44:30,785 --> 00:44:35,300
Come out of that, and focus on
what you're grateful for already.

794
00:44:35,301 --> 00:44:37,800
And really be enjoyed.

795
00:44:37,801 --> 00:44:41,114
And then go into your day
and release it to the Universe

796
00:44:41,115 --> 00:44:46,000
and trust that the Universe
will figure out how to manifest it.

797
00:44:56,300 --> 00:44:59,955
You know, The Secret was definitely
a real transformation for me

798
00:44:59,956 --> 00:45:02,962
'cause I grew up in a family
where my dad was very negative.

799
00:45:02,963 --> 00:45:06,653
He thought that rich people
were people that would rip everyone off,

800
00:45:06,654 --> 00:45:10,000
he thought that anyone who had money
must have deceived somebody,

801
00:45:10,001 --> 00:45:13,469
so I grew up with a lot of beliefs about money;
that if you had it, it made you bad,

802
00:45:13,470 --> 00:45:14,954
that only evil people had money,

803
00:45:14,955 --> 00:45:18,360
and that money doesn't grown on trees,
that was the big one,

804
00:45:18,361 --> 00:45:21,317
"who do you think I am, Rockefeller?",
that was one of his favourite phrases.

805
00:45:21,318 --> 00:45:25,337
So, I grew up truly believing
that life was difficult,

806
00:45:25,338 --> 00:45:27,009
that it was hard,
that you have to struggle,

807
00:45:27,010 --> 00:45:29,638
and it was only when I met W. Clement Stone

808
00:45:29,639 --> 00:45:32,791
that I literally began to shift my life.

809
00:45:37,201 --> 00:45:39,518
When I was working with Stone

810
00:45:39,519 --> 00:45:42,730
he said, "I want you to set a goal
that's so big that if you achieved it

811
00:45:42,731 --> 00:45:43,823
it would blow your mind.

812
00:45:43,824 --> 00:45:46,338
And you would know it's only
because of what I've tought you

813
00:45:46,339 --> 00:45:48,650
that you would have achieved this goal".

814
00:45:48,651 --> 00:45:53,052
Well, at the time
I was making about $8.000 a year.

815
00:45:53,053 --> 00:45:56,376
And for some reason, I wanted something
that it was really measurable,

816
00:45:56,377 --> 00:45:59,547
so I said, "I wanna make $100.000 in a year".

817
00:45:59,548 --> 00:46:01,079
And I had no idea how I can do that,

818
00:46:01,080 --> 00:46:03,760
I saw no strategy, no possibility,

819
00:46:03,761 --> 00:46:06,692
but I just said, "I'm gonna declare that,
I'm gonna believe it,

820
00:46:06,693 --> 00:46:10,000
I'm gonna act as if it's true
and release it".

821
00:46:10,001 --> 00:46:11,323
And so I did that.

822
00:46:11,324 --> 00:46:13,853
And one of the things he tought me was

823
00:46:13,854 --> 00:46:19,800
every day to close your eyes and visualize
the goal as if it's already achieved.

*Pray God while certain of the (positive) response - Hadeeth*
******

824
00:46:19,801 --> 00:46:22,604
And I had actually made a $100.000 bill
that I put on the ceiling,

825
00:46:22,605 --> 00:46:24,249
so the first thing I'd see
whenever I woke up,

826
00:46:24,250 --> 00:46:28,000
I'd look up and there it was,
and it would remind me that this was my intention.

827
00:46:28,001 --> 00:46:36,700
And then, I would close my eyes
and visualize having this $100.000
a year life style.

829
00:46:36,701 --> 00:46:40,834
And interestingly enough, nothing
major happened for about 30 days.

830
00:46:40,835 --> 00:46:44,600
I didn't have any great breakthrough ideas,
no one was offering me more money.

831
00:46:44,601 --> 00:46:47,905
And all of the sudden, I was in the shower,
it was about 4 weeks into doing it

832
00:46:47,906 --> 00:46:51,101
and I had a $100.000 idea,
it just came right into my head.

833
00:46:51,102 --> 00:46:52,725
I had a book I had written

834
00:46:52,726 --> 00:46:57,224
and I said, "if I could sell 400.000
copies of my book at a quarter each,

835
00:46:57,225 --> 00:46:58,400
that would be $100.000"

836
00:46:58,401 --> 00:47:02,500
Now, the book was there,
but I'd never had this thought.

837
00:47:02,501 --> 00:47:04,635
And one of the secrets I think is that

838
00:47:10,001 --> 00:47:11,116
Now, I didn't know how to do that,

839
00:47:11,117 --> 00:47:14,500
I didn't know how I was gonna
sell 400.000 copies, we'd never done that.

840
00:47:14,501 --> 00:47:18,082
And then I saw the National Enquirer
at the supermarket.

841
00:47:18,083 --> 00:47:20,690
I'd seen that millions of times,
and it was just background.

842
00:47:20,691 --> 00:47:23,180
And all of a sudden
it jumped out on me as foreground

843
00:47:23,181 --> 00:47:25,355
and I thought,
"wow, if readers knew about my book,

844
00:47:25,356 --> 00:47:28,407
certainly 400.000 people
would go out and buy it.

845
00:47:28,408 --> 00:47:31,629
In about 6 weeks later I gave the talk
at Hunter college in New York.

846
00:47:31,630 --> 00:47:33,942
to 600 teachers, and this lady comes up at the end and she says:

847
00:47:33,943 --> 00:47:36,250
<i>"That was a great talk,
I'd like to interview you. </i>

848
00:47:36,251 --> 00:47:37,527
<i>Let me give you my card." </i>

849
00:47:37,528 --> 00:47:38,984
I said, "who do you write for?"

850
00:47:38,985 --> 00:47:41,900
<i>"I'm a freelancer, but I sell
most of my stuff to the National Enquirer." </i>

851
00:47:44,000 --> 00:47:48,700
You know, I had this little theme from
"Twilight Zone" go off in my head
"ner-ner-ner-ner..."

852
00:47:48,701 --> 00:47:50,543
Wow, this stuff's really working.

853
00:47:50,544 --> 00:47:55,105
So, that article came out and our
book sales started to take off,

854
00:47:55,106 --> 00:47:57,029
but the point I wanna make is that

855
00:47:57,030 --> 00:48:01,406
I was attracting into my life all these
different events, including this person

856
00:48:01,407 --> 00:48:03,838
and to make a long story short,

857
00:48:03,839 --> 00:48:08,788
I did not make $100.000 that year,
we made $92,327

858
00:48:08,789 --> 00:48:12,662
but do you think we were like depressed
and going, "this doesn't work"?

859
00:48:12,663 --> 00:48:14,332
No, we were going,
"wow, this is amazing!"

860
00:48:14,333 --> 00:48:16,038
And so, my wife said to me,

861
00:48:16,039 --> 00:48:18,694
"wow, if it works for $100.000
do you think it would work for a million?"

862
00:48:18,695 --> 00:48:21,693
And I said, "I don't know,
I think so, let's try it"

863
00:48:21,694 --> 00:48:23,833
My publisher actually wrote me a check,
it was a wealthy check

864
00:48:23,834 --> 00:48:26,584
as a royalty check for our first
"Chicken Soup For The Soul" book

865
00:48:26,585 --> 00:48:29,248
and he actually put a
smiley face in the signature

866
00:48:29,249 --> 00:48:32,490
'cause it was the first
million dollar check he'd ever written.

867
00:48:32,491 --> 00:48:35,275
And so,
I know from my own experience,

868
00:48:35,276 --> 00:48:38,169
because I wanted to test it
does this Secret really work,

869
00:48:38,170 --> 00:48:40,525
and we put it to the test
and it absolutely worked.

870
00:48:40,526 --> 00:48:43,447
And now I live my life from there
every single day.

871
00:48:43,448 --> 00:48:46,848
Well I can just imagine what a lot
of people that are watching this are thinking,

872
00:48:46,849 --> 00:48:52,000
and that is - how can I attract
more money into my life?

873
00:48:52,001 --> 00:48:55,000
How can I get more of the green stuff?

874
00:48:55,001 --> 00:48:58,000
How can I get more of
wealth and prosperity?

875
00:48:58,001 --> 00:49:03,100
How can I, when I love my job,
deal with the credit card debt that I have

876
00:49:03,101 --> 00:49:06,550
and the realization that maybe there's
a ceiling on the money that can come in,

877
00:49:06,551 --> 00:49:08,500
'cause it's coming to me
through my job,

878
00:49:08,501 --> 00:49:11,500
how can I bring in more?

879
00:49:11,501 --> 00:49:13,200
Intend it.

880
00:49:13,201 --> 00:49:15,641
This goes back to one of the things
we've been talking about

881
00:49:15,642 --> 00:49:17,200
throughout the whole Secret:

882
00:49:17,201 --> 00:49:21,300
your job is to declare what you would Like
to have from the catalogue of the Universe.

883
00:49:21,301 --> 00:49:26,000
Well, if cash is one of them,
say how much you would like to have.

884
00:49:26,001 --> 00:49:32,773
I would like to have $25.000
unexpected income within the next 30 days,

885
00:49:32,774 --> 00:49:35,550
or whatever it happens to be.
It should be believable for you.

886
00:49:35,551 --> 00:49:37,739
Most people have a goal of
getting out of debt.

887
00:49:37,740 --> 00:49:40,000
That'll keep you in debt forever.

888
00:49:40,001 --> 00:49:42,000
Whatever you're thinking about,
you will attract.

889
00:49:42,001 --> 00:49:43,780
You'll say, "but it's get out of debt"

890
00:49:43,781 --> 00:49:45,700
I don't care if it's
"get out" or "get in",

891
00:49:45,701 --> 00:49:48,857
if you're thinking debt
you're attracting debt.

892
00:49:48,858 --> 00:49:53:800
Set up an automatic debt repayment programme
and then start to focus on prosperity.

893
00:49:53,801 --> 00:49:55,620
So many times people say to me,

894
00:49:55,621 --> 00:49:58,400
"well, I'd like to double
my income in next year."

895
00:49:58,401 --> 00:49:59,999
But then you look at their actions

896
00:50:00,000 --> 00:50:03,950
and they're not doing the things
that are going to make that happen.

*- Did you tie your camel?
- (No) I rely on God.
- Tie it, then rely on God - Hadeeth*
******

897
00:50:03,951 --> 00:50:07,000
And they turn around and around
and go, "well, I can't afford that."

898
00:50:07,001 --> 00:50:10,000
OK, guess what - your wish is my command.

899
00:50:10,001 --> 00:50:12,900
As you are fussing about
not having enough money,

900
00:50:12,901 --> 00:50:15,973
as you are talking to your friend
about not having enough money,

901
00:50:15,974 --> 00:50:19,826
as you are feeling unhappy
about not having enough money,

902
00:50:19,827 --> 00:50:25,600
you're actually activating within yourself
or continuing the activation of the thought

903
00:50:25,601 --> 00:50:29,200
that is very different from
the desire that you have launched.

904
00:50:29,201 --> 00:50:31,366
What it just comes down to is

905
00:50:31,367 --> 00:50:34,674
you just can't want more money
and focus upon not enough.

906
00:50:34,675 --> 00:50:40,024
When I first understood The Secret
I was getting bills every day,

907
00:50:40,025 --> 00:50:42,780
I would get a bunch of bills in the mail.

908
00:50:42,781 --> 00:50:45,999
And I thought, "this is...
how do I turn this around"

909
00:50:46,000 --> 00:50:50,068
The Law of Attraction states that
what you focus on, you'll get.

910
00:50:50,069 --> 00:50:53,608
So, I got a bank statement,
I whited out the total

911
00:50:53,609 --> 00:50:55,346
and I put a new total in there,

912
00:50:55,347 --> 00:50:58,700
I put exactly how much
I want to see in the bank.

913
00:50:58,701 --> 00:51:01,897
So I thought what if I just visualized
checks coming in the mail?

914
00:51:01,898 --> 00:51:04,650
So, I just visualized a bunch
of checks coming in the mail.

915
00:51:04,651 --> 00:51:08,239
Within just one month,
things started to change.

916
00:51:08,240 --> 00:51:09,577
And it is amazing.

917
00:51:09,578 --> 00:51:11,625
Today I just get checks in the mail.

918
00:51:11,626 --> 00:51:14,206
I get a few bills,
but I get more checks then bills.

919
00:51:14,207 --> 00:51:17,066
I grew up on "you have to work hard for money",
"you have to work hard for money"

920
00:51:17,067 --> 00:51:21,000
And so, I replaced that with
"money comes easily and frequently"

921
00:51:21,001 --> 00:51:22,928
Now, in the beginning
it feels like a lie.

922
00:51:22,929 --> 00:51:25,969
Right? There is a part of your brain
that will say, "no you liar, it's hard"

923
00:51:25,970 --> 00:51:29,741
So, you have to know this little
tennis match that will go on for a while.

924
00:51:29,742 --> 00:51:33,003
When it comes to creating wealth,
wealth is a mind set.

925
00:51:33,004 --> 00:51:35,527
It's all about how you think.

926
00:51:35,528 --> 00:51:39,000
I'd say 80% of my coaching that I do one-on-one with folks

927
00:51:39,001 --> 00:51:41,100
is about their psychology
and the way they think.

928
00:51:41,101 --> 00:51:44,500
And I know people when they listen will say,
"oh you can do it and I can't"

929
00:51:44,501 --> 00:51:47,370
Every person has the
capability to change the way,

930
00:51:47,371 --> 00:51:50,500
their inner relationship and
conversation with money.

931
00:51:52,500 --> 00:51:56,380
I find so many people who maybe
make a tremendous amount of money,

932
00:51:56,381 --> 00:51:58,339
but their relationships stink.

933
00:51:58,340 --> 00:52:00,102
That's a technical term, by the way.

934
00:52:00,103 --> 00:52:02,884
And that's not wealth,
it really isn't.

935
00:52:02,885 --> 00:52:05,420
You know, you can go after the money
and you might get rich,

936
00:52:05,421 --> 00:52:07,000
but it doesn't guarantee
you'll be wealthy.

937
00:52:07,001 --> 00:52:11,500
I'm not suggesting that money
isn't a part of wealth, it absolutely is

938
00:52:11,501 --> 00:52:12,596
but it's only a part.

939
00:52:12,597 --> 00:52:15,927
And then I meet a lot of
people who are "spiritual",

940
00:52:15,928 --> 00:52:17,975
but they're sick and broke all the time.

941
00:52:17,976 --> 00:52:19,642
That's not wealth either.

942
00:52:19,643 --> 00:52:24,200
Life is meant to be abundant
in all areas.

943
00:52:24,201 --> 00:52:28,937
Many people in Western culture
are striving for success.

944
00:52:28,938 --> 00:52:31,475
They wanna have a big home,
they want their business to work,

945
00:52:31,476 --> 00:52:32,520
they want all of these things.

946
00:52:32,521 --> 00:52:36,600
But what I found in my research is
that having those things

947
00:52:36,601 --> 00:52:40,300
certainly doesn't guarantee
what we really want, which is happiness.

948
00:52:41,300 --> 00:52:44,034
And that's when
all those outer things come.

949
00:52:44,035 --> 00:52:48,909
They don't come from going after them first
to get happiness - it's backwards.

950
00:52:48,910 --> 00:52:55,210
You go for the sense of inner joy,
of inner peace, of inner vision first

951
00:52:55,211 --> 00:52:59,000
and then all the other things
from the outside appear.

952
00:53:08,000 --> 00:53:18,700
The Secret means for me actually that
we are creators of our Universe.

954
00:53:18,701 --> 00:53:25,400
And that every wish of what we want to create
will manifest in our life.

955
00:53:25,401 --> 00:53:30,168
Therefore, it's very important what you wish,
what your thoughts are, what your feelings are

956
00:53:30,169 --> 00:53:32,471
because it will manifest.

957
00:53:33,900 --> 00:53:37,085
Now, one day I went into somebody's home

958
00:53:37,086 --> 00:53:41,061
and he was art director of a
very famous film producer.

959
00:53:41,062 --> 00:53:45,837
And in every corner he had this
beautiful image of a woman,

960
00:53:45,838 --> 00:53:49,663
a naked woman dressed with a fabric
kind of doing this, kind of saying,

961
00:53:49,664 --> 00:53:52,300
"I don't look at you, I don't see you"

962
00:53:52,301 --> 00:53:55,800
And I said, "I think you have
trouble in your romance."

963
00:53:55,801 --> 00:53:57,905
<i>"Are you a clairvoyant or something?" </i>

964
00:53:57,906 --> 00:54:02,782
"No, but look, in seven places
you have exactly that woman."

965
00:54:02,783 --> 00:54:04,827
<i>"But I love that kind of painting.
I painted it myself." </i>

966
00:54:04,828 --> 00:54:06,506
"That's even worse", I said,

967
00:54:06,507 --> 00:54:09,794
"because you put all your creation
and your creativity in it."

968
00:54:09,795 --> 00:54:13,977
Now, here's this gorgeous looking man,
he has all these actresses around him

969
00:54:13,978 --> 00:54:17,602
because that's the work he does,
and he doesn't get romance.

970
00:54:17,603 --> 00:54:19,642
I said, "what do you want?"

971
00:54:19,643 --> 00:54:22,500
<i>"Well, I wanna date three women a week." </i>

972
00:54:22,501 --> 00:54:26,800
"OK, paint yourself with three women
and hang it in every corner."

972
00:54:26,801 --> 00:54:33,000
*(The success or failure of any “technique” obviously does not address the moral issues associated with it)*
******

973
00:54:33,000 --> 00:54:36,212
Six months later I see him in Europe.
I said, "how is your love life?"

974
00:54:36,213 --> 00:54:39,048
<i>"Great! They just call me,
they all wanna date me." </i>

975
00:54:39,049 --> 00:54:40,674
"Because that's your wish."

976
00:54:40,675 --> 00:54:43,781
<i>"Now I have like three dates a week.
They're fighting over me." </i>

977
00:54:43,782 --> 00:54:45,600
"Good on you."

978
00:54:45,600 --> 00:54:51,735
<i>"But I really wanna stabilize it a little bit.
I want marriage, and I want romance." </i>

979
00:54:51,736 --> 00:54:55,350
"Well paint it, OK?"

980
00:54:55,351 --> 00:54:58,800
So he painted a beautiful
romantic relationship.

981
00:54:59,500 --> 00:55:04,000
And a year later he got married.
and he's very happy.

982
00:55:06,900 --> 00:55:12,830
Because he put another wish out.
But he wished it in himself for years.

983
00:55:12,831 --> 00:55:17,294
But it did not happen, because
his wish could not manifest

984
00:55:17,295 --> 00:55:25,000
because the outer level of himself: his house,
was just contradicting himself all the time.

985
00:55:25,001 --> 00:55:29,500
So, if you know this knowledge,
you should start playing with it.

986
00:55:32,000 --> 00:55:38,135
Inside relationships it's important to first
understand who's coming into the relationship.

987
00:55:38,136 --> 00:55:41,215
And I don't mean about your partner,
I mean about you.

988
00:55:41,216 --> 00:55:44,330
How can you ever expect anyone else
to enjoy your company

989
00:55:44,331 --> 00:55:46,895
if you don't enjoy your own company?

990
00:55:46,896 --> 00:55:50,083
And so again,
the Law of Attraction, or The Secret

991
00:55:50,084 --> 00:55:53,736
is about bringing that into your life
and you've gotta get really, really clear.

992
00:55:53,737 --> 00:55:55,792
Here's the question I want
to ask you to consider:

993
00:55:55,793 --> 00:55:59,983
do you treat yourself the way that
you want other people to treat you?

994
00:55:59,984 --> 00:56:02,885
You become the solution for you.

995
00:56:02,886 --> 00:56:05,700
Don't ... like, "now you owe me, and you
need to get me more",

996
00:56:05,701 --> 00:56:09,640
instead, give more to yourself.
Take time off to give to yourself.

997
00:56:09,641 --> 00:56:12,044
in a sense, to fill
yourself up to fullness,

998
00:56:12,045 --> 00:56:15,000
where now you can overflow in giving.

999
00:56:15,001 --> 00:56:20,163
I got into many relationships, expecting
my partner to show me my beauty.

1000
00:56:20,164 --> 00:56:23,695
I needed to see him showing me my beauty.

1001
00:56:23,696 --> 00:56:25,561
Because I didn't feel beautiful.

1002
00:56:25,562 --> 00:56:30,199
Because when I was growing up,
my "sheroes" were

1003
00:56:30,200 --> 00:56:35,743
Charlie's Angels, Wonder Woman,
and though they were wonderful women

1004
00:56:35,744 --> 00:56:38,700
none of them looked like me.

1005
00:56:38,701 --> 00:56:41,560
It wasn't until I stopped
and I fell in love with Lisa,

1006
00:56:41,561 --> 00:56:45,900
full lips, round hips, mocha skin, Afro,

1007
00:56:45,901 --> 00:56:49,200
that the rest of the world
began to fall in love with Lisa.

1008
00:56:49,201 --> 00:56:51,800
There's something so magnificent about you.

1009
00:56:51,801 --> 00:56:57,300
I have been studying me for 44 years.
I wanna kiss myself!

1010
00:56:57,301 --> 00:57:00,300
Because, you're gonna get to love yourself.
I'm not talking about conceit.

1011
00:57:00,301 --> 00:57:02,900
I'm talking about a healthy respect for yourself.

*(Appreciating God’s blessings upon you)*
******

1012
00:57:02,901 --> 00:57:05,500
And as you love yourself (by appreciating God’s blessings upon you), you'll love others.

1013
00:57:05,501 --> 00:57:09,300
Sometimes people will say,
"those people at work are so negative",

1014
00:57:09,301 --> 00:57:12,000
or, "the man I live with is so angry",

1015
00:57:12,001 --> 00:57:15,400
or, "my children are so worrisome to me",

1016
00:57:15,401 --> 00:57:21,600
and we say, "you must orient yourself to
the best part of those people who surround you."

1017
00:57:21,601 --> 00:57:23,800
We encourage that you get a notebook,

1018
00:57:23,801 --> 00:57:28,000
and that you make a list of the positive aspects
of the people that you spend a lot of time with.

1019
00:57:38,679 --> 00:57:41,275
There could be someone that you have
a terrible experience with,

1020
00:57:41,276 --> 00:57:44,000
a terrible relationship with.

1021
00:57:44,001 --> 00:57:48,199
And in the privacy of your own mind,
and with quite a bit of work, we will admit,

1022
00:57:48,200 --> 00:57:55,600
as you focus upon things that you like most
those people will become that mostly to you

1023
00:57:55,601 --> 00:57:57,973
And even though
you cannot create in their reality,

1024
00:57:57,974 --> 00:58:00,269
if they are in the mood or in attitude

1025
00:58:00,270 --> 00:58:04,375
that doesn't match the mood or attitude
that you have about them,

1026
00:58:04,376 --> 00:58:06,600
they'll zig while you zag.

1027
00:58:08,000 --> 00:58:11,160
Law of Attraction will not put you
in the same space together,

1028
00:58:11,161 --> 00:58:13,700
your frequencies don't match up.

1029
00:58:14,000 --> 00:58:19,900
If you knew your potential to feel good,
you would ask no one to be different

1030
00:58:19,901 --> 00:58:22,000
so that you can feel good.

1031
00:58:22,001 --> 00:58:25,904
You would free yourself of all of that
cumbersome impossibility

1032
00:58:25,905 --> 00:58:27,810
of needing to control the world

1033
00:58:27,811 --> 00:58:29,380
or control your mate

1034
00:58:29,381 --> 00:58:30,872
or control your child.

1035
00:58:35,001 --> 00:58:37,700
For no one else can think for you,

1036
00:58:37,701 --> 00:58:39,057
no one else can do it.

1037
00:58:39,058 --> 00:58:40,300
It is only you.

1038
00:58:40,301 --> 00:58:43,000
Every bit of it you.

1039
00:58:54,700 --> 00:58:59,937
It's important to recognize that
our body is really the product of our thoughts.

1040
00:58:59,938 --> 00:59:02,238
We're beginning to understand in medical science

1041
00:59:02,239 --> 00:59:06,119
the degree to which the nature of thoughts
and emotions actually determines

1042
00:59:06,120 --> 00:59:09,956
the physical substance and structure
and function of our bodies.

1043
00:59:09,957 --> 00:59:14,000
We've known in the healing arts
of the placebo effect.

1044
00:59:14,001 --> 00:59:18,105
A placebo is something that supposedly
has no impact and no effect on body.

1045
00:59:18,106 --> 00:59:19,603
Like a sugar pill or something.

1046
00:59:19,604 --> 00:59:22,494
You tell the patient that this is just as effective,

1047
00:59:22,495 --> 00:59:25,720
and what happens is the placebo has
he same effect, if not greater effect than

1048
00:59:25,721 --> 00:59:28,500
sometimes, the medication that is
supposed to be designed for that effect.

1049
00:59:28,501 --> 00:59:32,477
So, they found out that the human mind
is the biggest factor in the healing arts.

1050
00:59:32,478 --> 00:59:35,900
More so then sometimes the medication.

1051
00:59:35,901 --> 00:59:38,900
If somebody is in a situation that they're sick,

1052
00:59:38,901 --> 00:59:42,528
and they have an alternative to try to explore
what is in their mind creating it,

1053
00:59:42,529 --> 00:59:43,919
versus using medicine,

1054
00:59:43,920 --> 00:59:47,349
if it's an acute situation that could
really bring death to them

1055
00:59:47,350 --> 00:59:49,818
then obviously the medicine
is the wise thing to do

1056
00:59:49,819 --> 00:59:51,708
while they explore what the mind is about.

1057
00:59:51,709 --> 00:59:55,500
So you don't wanna negate medicine,
every form of healing has a place.

1058
00:59:59,200 --> 01:00:03,416
There is only a stream
of well-being that flows, you know.

1059
01:00:04,000 --> 01:00:06,800
It is a stream of pure positive energy.

1060
01:00:07,500 --> 01:00:12,600
And the Universe, all that we know,
is abundant with only that.

1061
01:00:12,601 --> 01:00:15,310
This is a world that is based upon well-being,

1062
01:00:15,311 --> 01:00:18,300
a well-being dramatically abounds.

1063
01:00:19,700 --> 01:00:25,600
And when you're allowing that stream to flow
in its fullness, you feel very, very good.

1064
01:00:25,601 --> 01:00:28,868
And when you are pinching it off a bit
you feel not so good.

*… and whosoever turns away from My message, his life will be harshly tight…  (S20:A124)*
******

1065
01:00:28,869 --> 01:00:33,600
There is only a stream of goodness
or well-being which you are allowing or not,

1066
01:00:33,601 --> 01:00:38,600
and your magnificent emotions
are telling you what the mix is,

1067
01:00:38,601 --> 01:00:43,500
how you're doing in your allowing
or your resisting of this connection.

1068
01:00:43,501 --> 01:00:46,700
You know people who have had terminal disease.

1069
01:00:46,701 --> 01:00:50,800
Stop and think of the word: dis-ease.
Hyphenate the word.

1070
01:00:50,801 --> 01:00:53,600
That's a body that's not at ease.

1071
01:00:53,601 --> 01:00:58,500
We've got a thousand different diagnoses
and diseases out there.

1072
01:00:58,501 --> 01:01:02,876
They're just the weak link.
They're all the result of one thing:

1073
01:01:02,877 --> 01:01:04,700
stress.

1074
01:01:04,701 --> 01:01:08,682
When you put enough stress on the chain,
you put enough stress on the system

1075
01:01:08,683 --> 01:01:10,171
and one of the links breaks.

1076
01:01:10,172 --> 01:01:15,126
Our physiology creates disease to
give us feedback, to let us know

1077
01:01:15,127 --> 01:01:18,420
we have an imbalanced perspective
and we're not loving, and we're not grateful.

1078
01:01:18,421 --> 01:01:22,000
So the body signs and symptoms
are not something terrible.

1079
01:01:22,001 --> 01:01:24,273
The question that's frequently asked is

1080
01:01:24,274 --> 01:01:28,707
when a person has a manifest
of a disease in the body temple

1081
01:01:28,708 --> 01:01:31,327
or some kind of discomfort in their life,

1082
01:01:31,328 --> 01:01:34,774
through the power of right thinking
can it be turn around?

1083
01:01:34,775 --> 01:01:36,800
And the answer is absolutely yes.

1084
01:01:36,801 --> 01:01:41,800
On November 23 I was diagnosed
with the breast cancer.

1085
01:01:41,801 --> 01:01:48,500
I truly believed in my heart, with my
strong faith, that I was already healed.

1086
01:01:48,501 --> 01:01:52,800
During the day, all day long,
I would just say thank you for my healing.

1087
01:01:52,801 --> 01:01:56,000
On and on and on I went,
"thank you for my healing."

1088
01:01:56,001 --> 01:01:58,800
I believed in my heart I was healed.

1089
01:01:58,801 --> 01:02:03,200
I saw myself as if
cancer was never in my body.

1090
01:02:04,000 --> 01:02:09,951
One of the things I did to heal myself
was to watch very funny movies.

1091
01:02:09,952 --> 01:02:12,600
That's all what we'd do,
we'd just laugh, laugh, laugh.

1092
01:02:12,601 --> 01:02:16,280
We couldn't afford to put any stress
in my life because we knew

1093
01:02:16,712 --> 01:02:19,800
stress was one of the
worst thing you could do

1094
01:02:19,801 --> 01:02:21,600
while you're trying to heal yourself.

1095
01:02:21,601 --> 01:02:24,859
From the time I was diagnosed,
which was November 23

1096
01:02:24,860 --> 01:02:30,600
to the time I was healed totally,
was approximately 3 months.

1097
01:02:31,400 --> 01:02:35,000
And that's without radiation
and chemotherapy.

1098
01:02:36,300 --> 01:02:40,800
We come with a basic programme.
It's called self-healing.

1099
01:02:40,801 --> 01:02:44,252
You get a wound, it grows back together.

1100
01:02:44,253 --> 01:02:46,247
You get a bacterial infection,

1101
01:02:46,248 --> 01:02:50,700
your immune system comes and takes care
of those bacteria, and heals it up.

1102
01:02:50,701 --> 01:02:54,000
The immune system is made to heal itself.

1103
01:02:54,001 --> 01:02:59,924
Disease cannot live in a body
that's in a healthy emotional state.

1104
01:02:59,925 --> 01:03:03,809
Your body is casting off
millions of cells every second,

1105
01:03:03,810 --> 01:03:06,900
and it's creating millions of new cells.

1106
01:03:06,901 --> 01:03:10,743
In fact, literally, parts of our body
are replaced every day.

1107
01:03:10,744 --> 01:03:13,600
Other parts take a few months,
other parts a couple of years,

1108
01:03:13,601 --> 01:03:17,600
but within a few years
we have a brand new physical body.

1109
01:03:17,601 --> 01:03:20,895
If you have a dis-ease,
and you're focusing on it

1110
01:03:20,896 --> 01:03:26,600
and you're talking to people about it,
you're going to create more dis-eased cells.

******

1112
01:03:26,601 --> 01:03:29,600
See yourself living in
a perfectly healthy body.

1113
01:03:29,601 --> 01:03:32,126
Let the doctor look after the dis-ease.

1114
01:03:32,127 --> 01:03:33,872
Can you feel the difference between

1115
01:03:33,873 --> 01:03:37,845
having painful arthritis in your hips
and feeling fearful about it,

1116
01:03:37,846 --> 01:03:42,000
or having painful arthritis in your hips
and feeling hopeful about it,

1117
01:03:42,001 --> 01:03:45,427
The difference between fearful and hopeful

1118
01:03:45,428 --> 01:03:48,500
is the difference between recovery or not.

1119
01:03:48,501 --> 01:03:52,542
Happier thoughts lead to
essentially a happier biochemistry,

1120
01:03:52,543 --> 01:03:54,456
a happier, healthier body.

1121
01:03:54,457 --> 01:04:01,900
Negative thoughts, stress, have been shown to seriously degrade the body and the functioning of the brain.

1123
01:04:01,901 --> 01:04:06,200
Because it's our thoughts and emotions
that are continuously reassembling,

1124
01:04:06,201 --> 01:04:09,000
reorganizing, recreating our body.

1125
01:04:09,001 --> 01:04:14,152
Remove physiological stress from the body
and the body does what it was designed to do.

1126
01:04:14,153 --> 01:04:16,379
It heals itself.

1127
01:04:16,380 --> 01:04:22,100
I've seen kidneys regenerated,
I've seen  cancer dissolved,

1128
01:04:22,101 --> 01:04:26,600
I've seen eyesight improve
and come back.

1129
01:04:26,601 --> 01:04:30,000
I always say that "incurable"
means "curable from within".

1130
01:04:30,001 --> 01:04:35,200
You can change your life
and you can heal yourself.

1131
01:04:39,000 --> 01:04:44,850
Well, my story begins on March 10, 1981

1132
01:04:44,851 --> 01:04:48,600
It really changed my whole life,
it was a day I would never forget.

1133
01:04:48,601 --> 01:04:51,800
I crashed an airplane.

1134
01:05:02,500 --> 01:05:05,702
I ended up in a hospital
completely paralysed.

1135
01:05:05,703 --> 01:05:07,665
My spinal cord was crushed,

1136
01:05:07,666 --> 01:05:10,900
I broke the first and second
cervical vertebrae.

1137
01:05:10,901 --> 01:05:15,500
My swallowing reflex was destroyed,
I couldn't eat or drink.

1138
01:05:15,501 --> 01:05:18,287
My diaphragm was destroyed,
I couldn't breath.

1139
01:05:18,288 --> 01:05:20,651
All I could do was blink my eyes.

1140
01:05:22,652 --> 01:05:25,384
The doctor of course said that
all my life I'll be a vegetable,

1141
01:05:25,385 --> 01:05:29,300
all I'll do was blink my eyes
the rest of my life.

1142
01:05:30,800 --> 01:05:34,656
That's the picture they saw me in,
but it didn't matter what they thought of me,

1143
01:05:34,657 --> 01:05:36,000
the thing was what I thought.

1144
01:05:42,901 --> 01:05:45,200
I pictured myself being
a normal person again

1145
01:05:45,201 --> 01:05:47,700
walking out of that hospital.

1146
01:05:47,701 --> 01:05:51,200
The only thing I had to work
with in the hospital was my mind,

1147
01:05:51,201 --> 01:05:57,300
and once you have your mind
you can put things back together again.

1148
01:05:57,301 --> 01:06:03,300
I was hooked to a respirator and they said
I'd never breathe on my own again

1149
01:06:03,301 --> 01:06:05,500
because my diaphragm was destroyed.

1150
01:06:05,501 --> 01:06:11,000
But this little voice kept saying to me,
"breathe deep, breathe deep".

1151
01:06:21,000 --> 01:06:23,700
Finally I was weened from it.

1152
01:06:23,701 --> 01:06:26,000
They were at a loss for an explanation.

1153
01:06:26,001 --> 01:06:31,356
See, I could not afford to allow
anything to come in my mind

1154
01:06:31,357 --> 01:06:36,500
that would distract me
from my goal and from my vision.

1155
01:06:42,000 --> 01:06:49,000
Well I'd set the goal to walk out of the hospital
on Christmas, that was my goal.

1156
01:07:02,000 --> 01:07:06,200
Eight months later I walked out
of the hospital on my own two feet.

1157
01:07:06,201 --> 01:07:09,200
They said it couldn't be done.

1158
01:07:09,201 --> 01:07:12,000
That's a day I will never forget.

1159
01:07:13,000 --> 01:07:17,862
For people that are sitting out there
right now watching this programme that are hurting,

1160
01:07:17,863 --> 01:07:26,665
if I'd want to sum up my life and sum
up for people what they can do in life

1161
01:07:26,666 --> 01:07:28,654
I would sum it up this way,
in six words:

1162
01:07:28,655 --> 01:07:33,000
"man becomes what he thinks about."

1163
01:07:45,500 --> 01:07:50,756
We noticed that there are so many people who
are living life in a very conditional way,

1164
01:07:50,757 --> 01:07:54,106
they look out and they see things
that are wonderful and they say,

1165
01:07:54,107 --> 01:07:56,565
"yes we want more of those,
we would vote for that,

1166
01:07:56,566 --> 01:07:59,224
we would support that with our
time and energy and money."

1167
01:07:59,225 --> 01:08:02,018
But then they look out and
they see things that they do not want,

1168
01:08:02,019 --> 01:08:03,908
terrible things
that they do no want to live

1169
01:08:03,909 --> 01:08:06,565
and that they do not
want to see others live.

1170
01:08:06,566 --> 01:08:10,100
And they say, "we've got to do something
about getting rid of those things."

1171
01:08:10,101 --> 01:08:13,453
But they don't realize that
as they push against the unwanted

1172
01:08:13,454 --> 01:08:16,500
they add power to it.

1173
01:08:16,501 --> 01:08:18,649
In this world, there is a
war against poverty,

1174
01:08:18,650 --> 01:08:22,277
and a war against cancer,
and a war against teenage pregnancy,

1175
01:08:22,278 --> 01:08:25,104
and a war against terrorism,
and a war against violence,

1176
01:08:25,105 --> 01:08:26,842
and a war against terrorism,

1177
01:08:26,843 --> 01:08:29,150
did we mention that there was
a war against terrorism?

1178
01:08:29,151 --> 01:08:33,400
And all of this pushing-against
is only adding-to,

1179
01:08:33,401 --> 01:08:36,200
Because, you can't say no
and make it go away.

1180
01:08:36,201 --> 01:08:39,692
When you shout no
Law of Attraction is lining that up.

1181
01:08:42,001 --> 01:08:45,200
The reason that "what you resist, persists"
is because if you're resisting something,

1182
01:08:45,201 --> 01:08:48,033
you say, "no, I don’t want this thing
because it makes me feel this way

1183
01:08:48,034 --> 01:08:49,214
the way I'm feeling right now."

1184
01:08:49,215 --> 01:08:51,617
And so, you just putting out
this really strong emotion of,

1185
01:08:51,618 --> 01:08:52,898
"wow, I don't really like this feeling",

1186
01:08:52,890 --> 01:08:54,780
and it's there,
it's racing towards you.

1187
01:08:54,781 --> 01:08:57,334
You know, anti-war movement
creates more war.

1188
01:08:57,335 --> 01:09:00,056
The anti-drug movement has
actually created more drugs.

1189
01:09:00,057 --> 01:09:02,667
Because we're focusing on
what we don't want - drugs.

1190
01:09:02,668 --> 01:09:05,557
People would say, "well shouldn't I
focus upon that, that is true"

1191
01:09:05,558 --> 01:09:07,742
And we say, that is like saying

1192
01:09:07,743 --> 01:09:11,010
"because someone gave the attention
to something they did not want,

1193
01:09:11,011 --> 01:09:13,174
long enough that now it has manifested

1194
01:09:13,175 --> 01:09:14,557
I should do it too."

1195
01:09:14,558 --> 01:09:17,600
And we say, "we don't really
understand that reasoning."

1196
01:09:17,601 --> 01:09:19,618
Mother Teresa was brilliant.

1197
01:09:19,619 --> 01:09:21,579
She said, "I will never attend
an anti-war rally,

1198
01:09:21,580 --> 01:09:23,100
if you have a peace rally, invite me."

1199
01:09:23,101 --> 01:09:24,834
You know, she knew.
She understood The Secret.

1200
01:09:24,835 --> 01:09:27,000
I mean, look what she
manifested in the world.

1201
01:09:27,001 --> 01:09:31,600
So, if you're anti-war,
be pro-peace.

1202
01:09:31,601 --> 01:09:38,000
If you're anti-hunger, be pro
people having more than enough to eat.

1203
01:09:38,001 --> 01:09:43,600
If you anti particular politician,
be pro his opponent.

1204
01:09:43,601 --> 01:09:48,928
Often elections are tipped in the favour
of the person that people are really against

1205
01:09:48,929 --> 01:09:51,562
because he's getting all the energy
and all the focus.

1206
01:09:51,563 --> 01:09:55,410
You wanna focus on what you want
and not what you don't want.

*(So when asking God: “Protect me from…”, concentrate on God’s Mercy, not on your problem)*
******

1207
01:09:55,411 --> 01:10:00,350
It's OK to notice what you don't want
because that gives you contrast to say, "this is what I do want."

*(When asking God: “Protect me from…” concentrate on God’s Mercy, not on your problem)*
******

1209
01:10:00,351 --> 01:10:03,233
But the fact is that the more you
talk what you don't want,

*If your steed stumbles do not say “Woe to Satan” for he will grow boasting… but say In the Name of God The Most Merciful the Most Compassionate and he will dwindle down... - Hadeeth*
******

1210
01:10:03,234 --> 01:10:04,599
or you talk about how bad it is,

*If your steed stumbles do not say “Woe to Satan” for he will grow boasting… but say In the Name of God The Most Merciful the Most Compassionate, and he will dwindle down... - Hadeeth*
******

1211
01:10:04,600 --> 01:10:08,399
read about all of that all the time and
then say, "oh how terrible it is",

*If your steed stumbles do not say “Woe to Satan” for he will grow boasting… but say In the Name of God The Most Merciful the Most Compassionate, and he will dwindle down... - Hadeeth*
******

1212
01:10:08,400 --> 01:10:10,000
well you are creating more of that.

*If your steed stumbles do not say “Woe to Satan” for he will grow boasting… but say In the Name of God The Most Merciful the Most Compassionate, and he will dwindle down... - Hadeeth*
******

1213
01:10:10,001 --> 01:10:13,726
You know, so many times people say to me,
"well James, I have to be informed."

1214
01:10:13,727 --> 01:10:18,100
Maybe you have to be informed,
but you don't have to be inundated.

1215
01:10:18,101 --> 01:10:20,748
Learn to become still

1216
01:10:20,749 --> 01:10:24,025
and to take your attention away
from what you don't want

1217
01:10:24,026 --> 01:10:27,184
and all the emotional charge around it,

1218
01:10:27,189 --> 01:10:30,214
and place the attention on
what you wish to experience.

1219
01:10:30,215 --> 01:10:33,343
I always say when the voice
and the vision on the inside

1220
01:10:33,344 --> 01:10:36,028
become more profound
and more clear and loud

1221
01:10:36,029 --> 01:10:37,799
than the opinions on the outside

1222
01:10:37,800 --> 01:10:40,000
you've mastered your life.

1223
01:10:43,000 --> 01:10:47,064
You are not here to try to get the world
to be just as you want it to be,

1224
01:10:47,065 --> 01:10:51,347
you are here to create the world
around you that you choose,

1225
01:10:51,348 --> 01:10:55,000
while you allow the world
as others choose it to be

1226
01:10:55,001 --> 01:10:58,500
to exist also.

1227
01:11:00,600 --> 01:11:04,500
One of the questions I get almost all the time
and is probably on somebody's mind right now,

1228
01:11:04,501 --> 01:11:05,949
if it's not on yours,

1229
01:11:05,950 --> 01:11:08,606
and that's the idea that,
"well, if everybody uses The Secret

1230
01:11:08,607 --> 01:11:11,100
and they all treat the Universe
like a catalogue,

1231
01:11:11,101 --> 01:11:13,138
aren't we gonna run out of stuff?

1232
01:11:13,139 --> 01:11:16,600
Won't everybody just make a run for
it and bust the bank?"

1233
01:11:16,601 --> 01:11:20,700
What's so beautiful about
the teaching of the great Secret

1234
01:11:20,701 --> 01:11:24,500
is that there is more than enough
to go around for everyone.

******
(... ...it is relatively nothing compared to God’s Dominion... ...)
******

1235
01:11:24,501 --> 01:11:30,000
There is a lie, that acts like
a virus within the mind of humanity

1236
01:11:30,001 --> 01:11:33,600
and that lie is,
"there's not enough good to go around,

1237
01:11:33,601 --> 01:11:38,200
there's lack, and there's limitation
and there's just not enough."

1238
01:11:38,201 --> 01:11:44,500
That lie has people living in fear,
greed, stinginess,

1239
01:11:44,501 --> 01:11:48,000
and those thoughts of fear, greed,
stinginess and lack

1240
01:11:48,001 --> 01:11:50,300
become their experience.

1241
01:11:50,301 --> 01:11:55,000
So, the world has taken a nightmare pill.

1242
01:11:57,001 --> 01:12:00,700
Now, the truth is there's more
than enough good to go around,

1243
01:12:00,701 --> 01:12:02,978
there's more than enough creative ideas,

1244
01:12:02,979 --> 01:12:04,789
there's more than enough power,

1245
01:12:04,790 --> 01:12:06,346
there's more than enough love,

1246
01:12:06,347 --> 01:12:07,984
there's more than enough joy...

1247
01:12:07,985 --> 01:12:19,430
All of this begins to come through a mind that is aware of its own infinite nature.

*(… that is aware of God’s infinite Power and Generosity)*
******

1249
01:12:19,431 --> 01:12:23,083
Every great teacher who's
ever walked the planet has told us

1250
01:12:23,084 --> 01:12:25,500
that life was meant to be abundant.

1251
01:12:25,501 --> 01:12:29,680
And so, just when we think
that resources are dwindling,

1252
01:12:29,681 --> 01:12:32,759
we find new resources to achieve the same things.

1253
01:12:32,760 --> 01:12:34,937
And so, even though we say we have lack

1254
01:12:34,938 --> 01:12:38,518
it's because we don't open up
our vision and see all what's around us.

1255
01:12:38,519 --> 01:12:43,012
You know, when everybody starts to live
from their heart and go for what they want,

1256
01:12:43,013 --> 01:12:46,000
they don't go for the same things.

1257
01:12:46,001 --> 01:12:48,181
That's the beauty of this.

1258
01:12:48,182 --> 01:12:50,464
We don't all want BMWs,

1259
01:12:50,465 --> 01:12:52,935
we don't all want the same person,

1260
01:12:52,936 --> 01:12:55,030
we don't all want the same experiences,

1261
01:12:55,031 --> 01:12:57,052
we don't all want the same clothing,

1262
01:12:57,053 --> 01:12:59,000
we don't all want...fill in the blank.

1263
01:12:59,001 --> 01:13:00,799
There's enough for everyone.

1264
01:13:00,800 --> 01:13:06,200
If you believe it, if you can see it
if you act from it - it will show up for you.

1265
01:13:06,201 --> 01:13:09,000
That's the truth.

1266
01:13:10,153 --> 01:13:14,000
So let the variety of your reality thrill you

1267
01:13:14,001 --> 01:13:16,800
as you get to choose from among of
those things that you're wanting.

1268
01:13:16,801 --> 01:13:19,500
And when you see something that
you want in your experience,

1269
01:13:19,501 --> 01:13:25,100
think about it, find a feeling place of it
get inside of it, talk about it and write it down,

1270
01:13:25,101 --> 01:13:26,400
write a script about it,

1271
01:13:26,401 --> 01:13:30,300
make it your reality
by becoming a match to it.

1272
01:13:30,301 --> 01:13:33,199
And when you see those things that
you are not wanting in your experience

1273
01:13:33,200 --> 01:13:36,500
do not talk about them,

1275
01:13:36,501 --> 01:13:39,477
don't join groups of worry about them,
don't push against them.

1276
01:13:39,478 --> 01:13:41,485
Do your best to ignore them,

1277
01:13:41,486 --> 01:13:44,000
remove your attention from the things
that you do not want

1278
01:13:44,001 --> 01:13:48,500
while you give your undivided attention to the things that you do want.

******

1279
01:13:48,501 --> 01:13:52,253
Most of the leaders in the past
missed the great part of The Secret,

1280
01:13:52,254 --> 01:13:55,000
which is empowering and sharing with others.

1281
01:13:55,001 --> 01:13:58,300
This is the best time to have ever been alive in history.

1282
01:13:58,301 --> 01:14:04,500
It's the first time we've ever had the power to gain knowledge at our fingertips.

1282
01:14:04,501 --> 01:14:14,400
God’s infinite power is obvious to any believer, whatever his religion. But this is a commercial product targeting the largest possible market, including non-believers too.
So the following pseudo-scientific theories about our relationship with the universe serve to strengthen their confidence due to their attractiveness, even though, as the speaker specifically states, it is not necessary to understand them.
******

1283
01:14:14,401 --> 01:14:18,200
When we look around us,
even at our own bodies,

1284
01:14:18,201 --> 01:14:20,600
what we see is the tip of the iceberg.

1285
01:14:20,601 --> 01:14:24,300
Think of this for a moment:
take your hand and look at it.

1286
01:14:24,301 --> 01:14:27,600
Now your hand looks solid
but it's really not.

1287
01:14:27,601 --> 01:14:33,100
If you put it under a proper microscope
you'd see a mass of energy vibrating.

1288
01:14:33,101 --> 01:14:37,200
Everything is made up of the exact same thing,
whether it's your hand, whether it's the ocean

1289
01:14:37,201 --> 01:14:38,035
or whether it's a star.

1290
01:14:38,036 --> 01:14:41,300
Everything is energy.

1291
01:14:41,301 --> 01:14:44,000
And let me help you
understand that just a little bit.

1292
01:14:44,001 --> 01:14:48,600
There is the Universe of course,
and our galaxy, and our planet,

1293
01:14:48,601 --> 01:14:51,900
and then individuals,
and then inside of this

1294
01:14:51,901 --> 01:14:54,100
body, are organ systems,

1295
01:14:54,101 --> 01:14:56,300
and then there are cells,

1296
01:14:56,301 --> 01:14:58,300
and then there are molecules,

1297
01:14:58,301 --> 01:15:03,500
and then there are atoms, and in there is energy.

1299
01:15:03,501 --> 01:15:07,500
So there are a lot of levels
to talk about something on. 

1300
01:15:07,501 --> 01:15:10,800
But everything in the Universe is energy.

1301
01:15:10,801 --> 01:15:13,200
I don't care what city you're living in

1302
01:15:13,201 --> 01:15:20,663
you've got enough power in your body, potential power, to illuminate the whole city for nearly a week

*believers do not need these "assurances": God's Power activates the whole universe*
******

1304
01:15:20,664 --> 01:15:23,359
Most people define themselves
by this finite body.

1305
01:15:23,360 --> 01:15:29,187
But you're not a finite body.
Even under a microscope, there are energy fields.

<i>*(What's infinite is God's power)*</i>
******

1307
01:15:29,188 --> 01:15:31,250
What we know about energy is this:

1308
01:15:31,251 --> 01:15:35,042
you go to a quantum physicist 
and you say, "what creates the world?"

1309
01:15:35,043 --> 01:15:37,203
And he/she will say, "energy."

1310
01:15:37,204 --> 01:15:38,578
Well describe energy.

1311
01:15:38,579 --> 01:15:40,156
It can never be created or destroyed,

1312
01:15:40,157 --> 01:15:45,021
it always was, always has been,
everything that ever existed, always exists,

*No: It must have had a beginning, otherwise any chain of events that led to our existence now, had eternity before it to happen before that!!!*
******

1313
01:15:45,022 --> 01:15:48,700
it's moving into form, through form and out of form.
OK, great.

1315
01:15:48,701 --> 01:15:52,535
You go to a theologian and you ask the question,
"what created the Universe?"

1316
01:15:52,536 --> 01:15:53,853
And he/she would say, "God."

1317
01:15:53,854 --> 01:15:55,177
OK, describe God.

1318
01:15:55,178 --> 01:15:58,450
Always was and always has been,
never be can be created or destroyed

1319
01:15:58,451 --> 01:16:00,288
all there ever was, always will be,

1320
01:16:00,289 --> 01:16:02,567
always moving into form, 
through form and out of form.

*Believers do not agree*

1321
01:16:02,568 --> 01:16:06,500
You see, it's the same description,
just different terminology.

*According to him; but according to believers, there is a definite distinction: God is not His creation*

1322
01:16:06,501 --> 01:16:11,051
And so, if you think you're this
meat suit running around, think again.

1323
01:16:11,052 --> 01:16:12,880
You are spiritual being,

*We are God's subjects, and He is the Infinite one, not us.*

1324
01:16:12,881 --> 01:16:16,500
you're energy field operating 
in a larger energy field.

1325
01:16:16,501 --> 01:16:19,435
We're all connected.
We just don't see it.

1326
01:16:19,436 --> 01:16:22,578
There isn't an "out-there" and "in-here".

1327
01:16:22,579 --> 01:16:25,894
Everything in Universe is connected,
it's just one energy field.

1328
01:16:25,895 --> 01:16:28,035
You are extensions of source energy.

*We are manifestations of God's infinite Power*

1329
01:16:28,036 --> 01:16:33,259
You're here in these magnificent bodies,
but your bodies have distracted you 

1330
01:16:33,260 --> 01:16:36,500
for the most part,
from who you really are.

1331
01:16:36,501 --> 01:16:38,254
You are source energy.

1332
01:16:38,255 --> 01:16:43,550
You are eternal beings (*no*),
you are God force (*its manifestation*).
You are that what you call God (*repulsive fumbling*).
******

1334
01:16:43,551 --> 01:16:47,963
Scripturally, we could say that we are
the image and the likeness of God.

*No: For Muslims "There is nothing like Him" (S42:A11)*
******

1335
01:16:47,964 --> 01:16:52,535
We could say we are another way that
the Universe is becoming conscious of itself.

1336
01:16:52,536 --> 01:16:58,500
We could say that we are the infinite field of unfolding possibilities.
All that would be true.

1339
01:16:58,501 --> 01:17:04,500
Every great tradition has told you
that you were created in the image 
and the likeness of the creative source.

*What's common is only the NAMES of our attributes, not the attributes themselves*
******

1340
01:17:04,501 --> 01:17:12,045
That means that you have got potential
and power to create your world.
And you are. You are.

*By God's Power, and continuous optimism*
******

1342
01:17:12,046 --> 01:17:16,085
And maybe you've created things to this point
that are wonderful and worthy of you,

1343
01:17:16,086 --> 01:17:17,285
and maybe you haven't.

1344
01:17:17,286 --> 01:17:19,368
The question I'd ask you to consider is:

1345
01:17:19,369 --> 01:17:22,847
do the results you have in you life -
are they what you really want,

1346
01:17:22,848 --> 01:17:25,094
and are they worthy of you?

1347
01:17:25,095 --> 01:17:29,056
If they're not worthy of you then wouldn't
now be the right time to change this?

1348
01:17:29,057 --> 01:17:31,250
Because you have the power to do that.

1349
01:17:38,076 --> 01:17:41,020
You know, a lot of people feel like
they're victims in life

1350
01:17:41,021 --> 01:17:43,279
and they’ll often point at past events,

1351
01:17:43,280 --> 01:17:47,081
perhaps growing up with an abusive parent
or in a dysfunctional family.

1352
01:17:47,082 --> 01:17:54,116
And I would add that most psychologists believe
that about 85% families are dysfunctional.

1353
01:17:54,117 --> 01:17:56,867
So, it's like all of a sudden
you're not so unique.

1354
01:17:56,868 --> 01:18:01,847
My parents were alcoholics, my dad abused me,
my mother divorce him when I was 6

1355
01:18:01,848 --> 01:18:04,681
From the age of 13 to 18
I was involved in street gangs.

1356
01:18:04,682 --> 01:18:08,165
I had a severe motorcycle accident.

1357
01:18:08,166 --> 01:18:14,844
I was homeless at one point in Dallas,
I lived in poverty for 15 years in Houston.

1358
01:18:14,845 --> 01:18:19,532
When I was a child, I had learning difficulties,
and I was considered learning disabled,

1359
01:18:19,533 --> 01:18:21,760
and I was told I would never read, 
write or communicate,

1360
01:18:21,761 --> 01:18:24,282
never amount to anything,
not go very far in life.

1361
01:18:24,283 --> 01:18:27,200
That's almost everybody's story
in some form or not.

1362
01:18:27,201 --> 01:18:29,453
So, that's just called "so what".

1363
01:18:29,454 --> 01:18:34,195
The real "what" is what are you
going to do now, what do you choose now.

1364
01:18:34,196 --> 01:18:37,564
Because you can either keep focusing on that,
or you can focus on what you want.

1365
01:18:37,565 --> 01:18:42,124
And when people start focusing on what they want,
what they don't want falls away.

1366
01:18:42,125 --> 01:18:45,204
And that part expands,
and the other part disappears.

1367
01:18:46,705 --> 01:18:48,678
We are wanting you to come to the place

1368
01:18:48,679 --> 01:18:51,563
where you're beginning to 
offer your thought deliberately

1369
01:18:51,564 --> 01:18:53,340
where you're guiding your thought on purpose,

1370
01:18:53,341 --> 01:19:00,547
where you are creator of your own experience,
because you are the manager of your own thought.

1371
01:19:00,548 --> 01:19:06,473
The beautiful thing about the Law of Attraction
is that you can begin where you are.

1372
01:19:06,474 --> 01:19:10,578
And you can begin to think real thinking,

1373
01:19:10,579 --> 01:19:16,083
and you can begin to generate within yourself
a feeling tone of harmony and happiness.

1374
01:19:16,084 --> 01:19:19,029
The Law will begin to respond to that.

1375
01:19:19,030 --> 01:19:23,659
So now you start to have different beliefs,
like there is more than enough in the Universe,

1376
01:19:23,660 --> 01:19:25,964
or you have the belief that 
everything goes right for me.

1377
01:19:25,965 --> 01:19:30,711
Or you have the belief that
"I'm not getting older, I'm getting younger."

1378
01:19:30,712 --> 01:19:35,344
We can create it the way we want it
by using the Law of Attraction.

*I Am according to My subject’s opinion of Me...*
******

1379
01:19:35,345 --> 01:19:38,074
And you can break yourself free

1380
01:19:38,075 --> 01:19:43,963
from the hereditary patterns, 
cultural codes, social beliefs,

1381
01:19:43,964 --> 01:19:47,070
and prove once and for all
that the power within you

*that God's response to your optimism*

1382
01:19:47,071 --> 01:19:50,313
is greater than the power
that's in the world.

1383
01:19:50,314 --> 01:19:57,445
Some of you may be thinking,
"well that's very nice, but I can't do that",

1384
01:19:57,446 --> 01:20:02,995
or "she won't let me do that",
or "he'll never let me do that",

1385
01:20:02,996 --> 01:20:07,788
or "I haven't got enough money to do that",
or "I'm not strong enough to do that",

1386
01:20:07,789 --> 01:20:09,769
or "I'm not rich enough to do that",
or "I'm not..."

1387
01:20:09,770 --> 01:20:11,940
I'm not...I'm not...I'm not...I'm not...I'm not...

1388
01:20:11,941 --> 01:20:14,243
Every single "I'm not" is a creation.

1389
01:20:22,401 --> 01:20:23,724
Are there any limits to this?

1390
01:20:23,725 --> 01:20:24,788
Absolutely not.

1391
01:20:24,789 --> 01:20:27,833
We are unlimited beings.

*No: What's unlimited is God's power*
******

1392
01:20:27,834 --> 01:20:32,499
We have no ceiling. The capabilities and 
the talents and the gifts and the power

1393
01:20:32,500 --> 01:20:37,500
that is within every single individual on this planet is unlimited.

*No: What's unlimited is God's power*
******

1394
01:20:37,501 --> 01:20:46,000
*They fumble previously and and what follows, because of their refusal to accept God's existence. This helps them to encourage, and to prevent helplessness, but believers arrive to a stronger result, knowing God's infinite Power*
******

1395
01:20:46,001 --> 01:20:51,596
There is no blackboard in the sky
on which God has written

*His goal is to prevent helplessness toward predeterminted "fate"*
******

1396
01:20:51,597 --> 01:20:56,000
your purpose, your mission in life.

*God's Knowledge is not restricted by time, thus He Knows what we will chose; obviously this does not mean that we will be forced to chose it*
******

1397
01:20:56,001 --> 01:20:58,999
There's no blackboard in the sky that says

*Here is the Islamic perspective*
******

1397
01:20:59,000 --> 01:21:05,600
*The Prophet P. was asked: Has everything been already determined, or is there an "appeal"?*
******

1397
01:21:05,601 --> 01:21:09,365
*He said: Everything has been determined (God's Knowledge is not bound by time, so for Him, all actions and choices are already known)*
******

1399
01:21:10,472 --> 01:21:13,557
and then there's a blank, you know,
and all I have to do

*They said:
So why should we work?*
******

1400
01:21:13,558 --> 01:21:16,635
is to really understand 
what I'm doing here, why I'm here

*He answered:
Do work, for each person’s way is made easy toward what he was created for.
(So whatever we decide, we have the confidence that God - with His infinite Power - will make things easier toward my goal. No greater confidence can be attained)*
******

1401
01:21:16,636 --> 01:21:18,675
is to find that blackboard,

*A non-believer said (arguing God's Will):
I will cut this palm tree.*
******

1402
01:21:18,676 --> 01:21:21,546
and find out what God really
has in mind for me.

*The prophet P. said:
So God Willed it.*
******

1403
01:21:21,547 --> 01:21:24,277
But the blackboard doesn't exist.

*The non-believer answered:
So I will not cut it.*
******

1404
01:21:24,278 --> 01:21:27,290

*So, your purpose is what you say it is.
To which the prophet P. replied:
So god Willed it.
(Although the meaning is very subtle, yet it can be worded in it a very simple way:
Nothing can be done AGAINST His Will, thus all is according to His will. Taking a little time to think about it will clarify the whole issue.).*
******

1405
01:21:27,291 --> 01:21:30,582
Your mission is the mission you give yourself.

*So God's Knowledge of what we will chose and what will happen
is by His Knowledge (for He is not restricted by Time)
and not by compulsion upon us*
******

1406
01:21:30,583 --> 01:21:38,577
Your life will be what you create it as
and no one will stand in judgment of it,
now or ever

*Thus the believer choses and relies that God, the Omni-Powerful, Has Made it easier for him; this produces much stronger confidence than their fumblings and denial.*
******

1408
01:21:38,578 --> 01:21:43,163
It took a lot of years for me to get this,
'cause I grew up very much with this idea 

*And his denial of "jugmement" is to prevent the hesitation*
******

1409
01:21:43,164 --> 01:21:45,321
that you know, there was something I was supposed to do

*and insecurity caused by the fear from furutre judgement*
******

1410
01:21:45,322 --> 01:21:48,765
and if I wasn't doing it,
I was like, "God wouldn't be happy with me".

*But when the believer does what God Likes
******

1411
01:21:48,766 --> 01:21:54,501
What I really got that my primary aim
is to feel and experience joy,

*his resolve gets strengthened by knowing of the future judgement*
******

1412
01:21:54,502 --> 01:21:59,075
then I began to do only those things
which brought me joy,

*And their main error about judgement*
******

1413
01:21:59,076 --> 01:22:02,825
we have a saying, you know,
"if it ain't fun, don't do it"

*Is the law of every country and our accountability to it*
******

1414
01:22:02,826 --> 01:22:08,159
Joy, love, freedom, happiness, laughter,

*Thus their advice is indefensible, to do whatever we like without restriction*
******

1415
01:22:08,160 --> 01:22:10,315
that's what it is.

*for the limitations are obvious in this life*
******

1416
01:22:10,316 --> 01:22:15,197
And if, boy, if you just experience joy
sitting here and meditating for an hour,

*They also denied judgement in the hereafter as if they witnessed it; yet they did not*
******

1417
01:22:15,198 --> 01:22:21,552
by golly, do that.
If you experience joy eating a
salami sandwich, then do that.

*and these are the features of a stubborn person without any proof to his argument,
and not those of a logical rational mind*
******

1419
01:22:21,552 --> 01:22:23,850
When I pet my cat I'm in a state of joy,

*For the believer's ultimate bliss is for his beloved Lord to be well-pleased with him,
not accepting to "enjoy and eat just like cattle" (S47:A12)*
******

1420
01:22:23,851 --> 01:22:25,312
or when i walk in nature I'm in a state of joy,

*For the believer's ultimate bliss is for his beloved Lord to be well-pleased with him,
not accepting to "enjoy and eat just like cattle" (S47:A12)*
******

1421
01:22:25,313 --> 01:22:28,800
so I wanna constantly put myself
in that state.

*For the believer's ultimate bliss is for his beloved Lord to be well-pleased with him,
not accepting to "enjoy and eat just like cattle" (S47:A12)*

*End of this section of comments*
******

1422
01:22:28,801 --> 01:22:32,425
And when I do that, then all I have to do
is have the intention of what I want,

1423
01:22:32,426 --> 01:22:34,516
and what I want manifests.

1424
01:22:34,517 --> 01:22:39,436
So, inner happiness actually 
is the fuel of success.

1425
01:22:39,437 --> 01:22:43,084
Anything that makes you feel good
is always gonna be drawing in more.

1426
01:22:43,085 --> 01:22:45,921
You are listening to this right now,

1427
01:22:45,922 --> 01:22:49,166
it's you that drew this into your life.

1428
01:22:49,167 --> 01:22:54,278
and it's your choice whether you wanna take it
and utilize it, if it feels good,

1429
01:22:54,279 --> 01:22:57,483
if it doesn't feel good, then you know,
let it go.

1430
01:22:57,484 --> 01:23:00,821
Find something that feels good,
that resonates with your heart. 

1430
01:23:00,822 --> 01:23:07,614
*Consult your heart - Hadeeth*
*Leave what you suspect (morally), in favour of what you do not suspect - Hadeeth*

1431
01:23:07,614 --> 01:23:13,951
Joseph Campbell said, "follow your bliss".
We think those are the best words
we've ever heard spoken from a human tongue.

*Their opinion will change if they open their ears and hearts to the marvellous Quran and Hadeeth - words of the Prophet P.*

1433
01:23:13,952 --> 01:23:18,000
And if one could follow one's bliss,
you would follow the trail

1434
01:23:18,001 --> 01:23:21,638
to abundance and well-being on all subjects.

1435
01:23:22,639 --> 01:23:26,413
Enjoy life with us,
because life is phenomenal,

1436
01:23:26,414 --> 01:23:28,616
it's a magnificent trip.

1437
01:23:28,617 --> 01:23:32,074
You will live in a different reality,
a different life,

1438
01:23:32,075 --> 01:23:36,889
when people will look at you and say,
"what do you do different than me?",

1439
01:23:36,890 --> 01:23:39,714
well, the only thing that is different

1440
01:23:39,715 --> 01:23:42,227
is that you work with The Secret.

1441
01:23:42,228 --> 01:23:46,228
And then you can do, and have, and be things
that people  will say,

1442
01:23:46,229 --> 01:23:49,035
"it's impossible for you to do and have and be"

1443
01:23:49,036 --> 01:23:52,659
We're really now moving into a new era.

1444
01:23:52,660 --> 01:23:58,808
It's the era where the last frontier
is not space, as "Star Trek" would say,

1445
01:23:58,809 --> 01:24:01,821
but it's going to be - mind.

1446
01:24:01,822 --> 01:24:07,088
I see a future of unbounded potential,
unbounded possibilities.

1447
01:24:07,089 --> 01:24:13,025
Remember we're using at most 5%
of the potential of the human mind.

1448
01:24:13,026 --> 01:24:17,195
100% human potential is the result
of proper education,

1449
01:24:17,196 --> 01:24:22,209
so imagine a world where people were using
their full mental and emotional potential.

1450
01:24:22,210 --> 01:24:26,827
We could go anywhere, we could do anything,
achieve anything.

1451
01:24:26,828 --> 01:24:29,933
See yourself with the good
that you desire.

1452
01:24:29,934 --> 01:24:31,999
Every religious book tells us that.

1453
01:24:32,000 --> 01:24:34,000
Every great book on philosophy,

1454
01:24:34,001 --> 01:24:36,000
every great leader,

1455
01:24:36,001 --> 01:24:39,210
all the avatars who have ever lived

1456
01:24:39,211 --> 01:24:40,839
Go back and study the wise ones.

1457
01:24:40,840 --> 01:24:44,980
Many of them have been presented to you
in this programme.

1458
01:24:44,981 --> 01:24:50,650
You know what? They all understood
one thing - they understood The Secret.

1459
01:24:50,651 --> 01:24:53,598
Now you understand it.

1460
01:24:53,599 --> 01:24:56,163
And the more you use it,
the more you'll understand it.

1461
01:24:58,164 --> 01:25:04,862
And you may be feeling that it would be easier
to be hearing these words,

1462
01:25:04,863 --> 01:25:09,352
if they had come to you the first day
of your experience upon this earth.

1463
01:25:09,353 --> 01:25:13,862
And if we were talking to you on your
first day of physical life experience,

1464
01:25:13,863 --> 01:25:15,715
we would say to you:

1465
01:25:15,716 --> 01:25:18,300
<i>"Welcome to planet Earth!</i>

1466
01:25:23,250 --> 01:25:27,414
<i>There is nothing that 
you cannot be, or do, or have. </i>

1467
01:25:27,414 --> 01:25:30,679
<i>You are magnificent creator </i>

1468
01:25:30,680 --> 01:25:36,999
<i>and you are here by your powerful 
and deliberate wanting to be here. </i>

1469
01:25:37,000 --> 01:25:41,835
<i>Go forward, giving thought to what
you are wanting, </i>

1470
01:25:41,836 --> 01:25:45,730
<i>attracting life experience
to help you decide what you want, </i>

1471
01:25:45,731 --> 01:25:49,612
<i>and once you've decided
giving thought only onto that, </i>

1472
01:25:50,860 --> 01:25:54,437
<i>most of your time will be spent
collecting data, </i>

1473
01:25:54,438 --> 01:25:59,350
<i>data that will help you decide
what it is you want. </i>

1474
01:25:59,351 --> 01:26:03,769
<i>But your real work is to 
decide what you want </i>

1475
01:26:03,770 --> 01:26:05,494
<i>and then to focus upon it, </i>

1476
01:26:05,495 --> 01:26:09,839
<i>for it is through focusing upon what you want
that you will attract it. </i>

1477
01:26:09,840 --> 01:26:13,000
<i>That is the process of creating." </i>

1478
01:26:13,819 --> 01:26:18,772
I believe that you're great,
that there's something magnificent about you.

1479
01:26:18,773 --> 01:26:21,718
Regardless of what has happened to
you in your life,

1480
01:26:21,719 --> 01:26:26,182
regardless of how young or how old
you think you might be,

1481
01:26:26,183 --> 01:26:29,479
the moment you begin to think properly

1482
01:26:29,480 --> 01:26:31,273
this something that is within you,

1483
01:26:31,274 --> 01:26:33,785
this power within you
that's greater than the world,

1484
01:26:33,786 --> 01:26:35,766
it will begin to emerge,

1485
01:26:35,767 --> 01:26:37,465
it will take over your life,

1486
01:26:37,466 --> 01:26:43,329
it will feed you, it will clothe you,
it will guide you, protect you, direct you,

1487
01:26:43,330 --> 01:26:46,215
sustain your very existence

1488
01:26:46,216 --> 01:26:48,000
if you'll let it.

1489
01:26:48,836 --> 01:26:50,627
Now that is what I know

1490
01:26:50,628 --> 01:26:51,748
for sure.

God allows to dominate the son of Adam, only those whom he fears;
and if the son of Adam fears none but God, God would not empower anyone over him.
And the son of Adam is left to whoever he has faith in;
and if he has faith but in God, God Will not Leave him to other than Him.

Among God's possible reponses to his subject who obeys Him, is that if he says to this mountain "move", it will move.
Upon which the mountain moved.
Al Fudail said to it: Quiet down, I did not want to move you, I was only mentioning you as an example. (The "jist" is what's important, not whether it actually happened or not).

God continues to answer the subject unless he prays for a vice or for breaking a blood tie, provided he does not hasten.
They said: What is hastening?
He said: To say "I prayed and I prayed but was not answered", so he gets weary and stops praying.
