The Additional Secret of The Movie 'The Secret' Make The Law of Attraction Work For You
The past few years, with an absolute peak in 2006 as the movie "The Secret"; was exposed to hundreds of thousands, an ever growing number of people is slowly waking up to the knowledge that there may just be more to life than the often robot-like existence of daily routines they lead.
With movies like "The Secret" and &;What the Bleep Do We Know; and books like :The Attractor Factor: by Joe Vitale and the resurfacing of :The Law of Success: by Napoleon Hill, people increasingly realize that they can have much more success in life, if only they knew "the secret" that all these sources talk about.
Still, although hundreds of thousands of people have seen the movie "The Secret" why are so few people living their ultimate lifestyle? Why aren't all those people living the success they long for so bad? The success that all these movies promise them? Is there an additional secret to movies like "The Secret"?
The obvious answer is 'yes'. If there's not, every person having seen the movie "The Secret" would be living the lifestyle of their dreams, would be 'attracting' everything they long for, and would be manifesting everything they desire into their lives "without any conscious effort".
At least, isn't that what you would think after watching movies like "The Secret"?
Let me tell you what the problem is, what is also the cause of so many people still not achieving their desires and dreams, and what is also the additional ";secret" or 'edge' to the movie 'The Secret' and others. The problem rests in a psychological phenomenon called 'selective retention'.
In simple terms, 'selective retention' means that you only remember the things you want to hear. In other words, you filter out the things you'd rather not hear. Let's relate this to the contents of movies like 'The Secret' and other films and books with regard to this subject.
What we can agree upon is that all these movies like 'The Secret' and books like 'The Attractor Factor' are about a Universal Law called 'The Law of Attraction'. According to the Law of Attraction, you can supposedly attract and manifest anything you want or desire into your life, based on what you focus your thoughts.
That's the secret, according to the movie 'The Secret'.
What I can tell you upfront is that the Law of Attraction is real, but only to an extent. There are very important nuances to its application, which movies like 'The Secret' either don't tell you about, or which you filter out through the psychological process of 'selective retention'.
The actual nuances and details of the application of the Law of Attraction are a subject to be discussed at another time and another place. For now, it's important to realize and acknowledge the one thing that most people are missing from movies like 'The Secret' and the whole range of other products dealing with the Law of Attraction.
You see, movies and books dealing with the Law of Attraction often overemphasize the word 'effortless'. You are led to believe that you can attract things and manifest things into your life without any conscious effort from your side.
Quite likely, 'effortless' is exactly what you want to hear. Who wouldn't like to do nothing while bringing about the most profound changes? People are hardly ever satisfied with their circumstances, so they desire change.
However, although they desire change, at the same time they resist change. Sounds like a paradox, but it's true. Because as soon as any effort is required to actually make the change they desire come about, or to overcome the resistance experienced to make that change come about, people 'cop out'. Do you recognize that?
Maybe you do, or maybe you don't. But that's exactly why so many people don't achieve any success, although they've seen the movie 'The Secret' and supposedly know about 'the secret'.
Through their 'selective retention', the only thing that they remember and engrain is that 'no effort is required', and they filter out the part that says they should actually take inspired action. As a consequence, many people think that if they just think positively and try to focus on positive emotions most of the time, everything they desire will magically manifest into their lives while they're sitting on the couch watching movies like 'The Secret' and 'What the Bleep Do We Know'.
They think suddenly some distanced relative they never heard of before in their lives, will leave them a legacy of millions of dollars while they're eating potato chips and ice cream, as they keep on watching the movie 'The Secret'.
Or they visualize themselves as a Scrooge McDuck-equivalent, swimming around in a pool of money. Perhaps they include the Money Bin too. And they expect a big bag of money to fall out the sky.
As a side-effect, they get bigger and unhealthier, and more and more miserable because nothing happens to make their lives better. Apparently, even a movement has come about that believes that you can apply the Law of Attraction to create a body they've always dreamed about. They think they'll look lean and muscular without effort through 'attracting' their dream bodies by visualizing how they want to look. I kid you not.
Let's reintroduce some common sense. Butt sitting never got anyone anywhere. The Law of Attraction that the movie 'The Secret' and other sources are about is real, but to reap its benefits and seize its fruits, you need to know how to apply it in your life, and you need to know the nuances to its application.
You can't just start thinking positive thoughts and feeling positive emotions and wait for all your desires to magically pop up while doing nothing. That's the missing link to achieving your success from the knowledge of the movie 'The Secret' and other films and books. The true secret is 'inspired action'.
Doing nothing doesn't help you. You need to act. You can get clear on your intention and then go do something else to get your mind off it. It's during those moments of 'silence', the moments that you're not obsessed with what you want, that you suddenly get ideas, inspirations, hunches and so on. You must act on those inspirations.
The 'act of acting' alone will make you turn on the switch of the Law of Attraction, so to speak. Then, through an interplay of other Universal Laws that the movie 'The Secret' and a whole range of books on the Law of Attraction forget to mention, the Universe will start rearranging itself according to your thoughts, emotions and actions. You'll get new ideas, meet new people, stumble upon new knowledge, and so on, all of which you can use in your actions that lead you to your envisioned goal step by step, through a chain of events.
And that's how the changes you desire come about.
Your job is to recognize what exactly to act upon. For that, you need to know exactly how the Law of Attraction works in reality, in conjunction with other Universal Laws, and how things actually manifest into your life so you actually recognize your opportunities. There's not a great number of other Universal Laws, only a few main Universal Laws that automatically cover all minor and subsidiary Universal Laws.
By understanding the nuances of the application of the Law of Attraction in conjunction with some few other universal principles (or Laws) as boundary conditions, you can make all your dreams come true. You just need to overcome your 'selective retention' and acquire the knowledge of just the few additional nuances you must understand to really achieve the things that the movie 'The Secret' and others talk about.
True enough, it does require some effort, but by applying these Laws correctly you make the Universe work with you, instead of against you. And as you 'get the hang' of this application, the conscious effort required from you will keep on decreasing.
But you'll always need to act. Nothing is going to happen if you don't act. That's the additional secret to the movie 'The Secret'. You just need to learn how to bring those inspirations about, how to recognize them, and then what to act upon.
And there are simple ways to do that.

This Stuff Really Works!
My Memoir
A few years ago, I watched the movie, 'The Secret,' for the first time. I was drawn to the message in a powerful way. I could instantly see how the Law of Attraction had worked in my own life, and how I was responsible for the direction my life had taken. Before then I was in the habit of blaming others for the misfortune in my life, but like being hit by a brick, I could see that my thought process had been responsible for everything.As a teen, I fell head over heels in love with a boy I'd met by chance, and could not forget him. Rather than trying to put him out of my mind, I fantasized about being with him, and dreamed that he would one day return to me.
After 17 long years and many trials, he did come back to me. I never gave up on my love for him and it paid off in spades. He and I have been happily married for 13 years now.
Ours is an amazing story, so I wrote a book about us. Forever and Always... A True Love Story, is my memoir and testament to the power of belief and the Law of Attraction.
Mine is a story of love, life, and determination to rise above the challenges I faced. My life has been interesting, to say the least, and my story contains the message that each of us has the power with in ourselves to change the course our ship sails.
The fact that I was able to write this book is the Law of Attraction in action. I have always dreamed of writing this book, and when I put myself to the task, it came. Now I would be honored to share it with you.

Forever and Always
Adland never stops amazing me.
Sometimes GOOD sometimes not so good.
Why?
One minute we are a busy forum posting place
And then Good folks post a forum and nobody notices.
Many of you will remember our old friend Trina.
Trina has been off writing her life/love story, she came here to tell us about it recently.
Result: I bought a copy (even here in the UK), whatsmore I read it.
No, love stories aren't just for the girls.
Trina's life has been sooooo different to my settled family upbringing and a little more recent however I found the book moving and a glimpse of a much tougher world.
Her book is called Forever and Always. It shows me, and hopefully you, that we all have a story to tell.
I thought I knew Trina. Wrong.
Trina is a strong and determined lady who has used her life to act upon her experiences.
Why am I telling you all of this?
Go to her forum at
http://community.adlandpro.com/forums/post/2399177/InterviewwiththeAuthor.aspx?flag=3286465
Buy a copy for yourself, tell some friends that you know the author and get them buying.
I like a lady willing to do the work.
Support a fellow Adlander and enjoy a good story.
Not hard is it?

The Universal Laws and The Universal Law of Bollocks
These days you can hardly go through any articles, books, DVDs, movies, films, documentaries with regard to self-improvement or self-help without coming across at least one mentioning of some 'Universal Law'. Suddenly, there appears to be a Universal Law for anything. Like we haven't got enough Laws to deal with already!
There is truth to these 'Universal Laws', but in most cases, a little nuance is in place. Please read along, as the remainder of this article will clear it all up.
There are Universal Laws that guide your life behind the scenes of 'physical reality'. These are actually rather 'universal principles of life'. That would be a more appropriate qualification.
However, the qualification of 'Universal Law' has taken on a life of its own. The word 'Law' appears to be a magic word%u2026 Almost a magic wand that casts a spell on anyone who reads it that puts them in a hypnotized state thinking that what it says must be true. After all, it's a 'Law' isn't it? A 'Law' is always right. No more thinking required.
Today, subjects like the 'Law of Attraction' are at an all-time high of popularity. We've got the movie 'The Secret' and a whole big bunch of people trying to leverage on it by proclaiming themselves as 'experts in the field of the Law of Attraction', or 'masters of attraction'. Yes, there's that magic word (wand) again.
And simply because people seem to like 'Universal Laws', every now and then a new 'Universal Law' makes its entrance. People come up with new 'Universal Laws' all the time. And likewise, new 'experts on the Law of Attraction' and 'masters of attraction' proclaim themselves every day.
Yet despite so many people having seen the movie 'The Secret' and knowing about the Law of Attraction, there is only a very, very small number of people who are actually living the life of their dreams, or 'attracting their desires', or 'manifesting their dreams'. Yes those are some other 'magic words' from today's common terminology.
How come? How come, with all that knowledge, with all those 'Universal Laws' already written and told about, and with all those new 'Universal Laws', 'Spiritual Laws of the Universe', 'Subsidiary Laws' and so on coming about each and every day on the Internet and elsewhere%u2026 How come that all the people buying those books, DVDs, movies, films, documentaries, and so on, are still not 'attracting their desires' or 'manifesting their dreams'?
I'll tell you why. Most people have heard something about it, but have no real knowledge about the matter. They are aware of the fact that there are 'Universal Laws', or rather 'universal principles of life' that work behind the scenes and guide the courses of their lives.
However, most people have lost track, because so many who think they know what they're talking about (while they don't) come up with these new 'Universal Laws' all the time. There may be some truth to all these different 'Universal Laws'. But what they really do for genuine seekers for the truth like yourself is not much more than making things way too difficult and complex to apply.
And if that isn't enough already, often another big problem comes up when you start reading about the 'Law of Attraction' and the 'Laws of the Universe'. The 'experts' who speak or write about them tend to do that in such an overly symbolic fashion, that few well-thinking people can make any practical sense of it. What you find is nothing but 'enigmas wrapped in riddles'.
Listen, there are universal principles of life. 'Universal Laws' if you will. However, when it comes to applying them to your advantage, we are in desperate need for some clarity.
Let me show you what I mean. I can come up with hundreds of 'Universal Laws' if I want. Here's a couple of them%u2026
* Introducing the Universal Law of Ping Pong
It says you have to use ping pong balls if you want to play table tennis.
* Introducing the Universal Law of Rain
It says that when it rains, things get wet.
Disappointing, eh? But they did sound interesting at first, right?
See what's happening here? The mere qualification of 'Universal Law' makes the statement sound interesting already, while the true deeper meaning of the 'Universal Law' is nothing more than a standard, blindingly obvious platitude.
So let me give you another Universal Law right now, to satisfy your probably insatiable need (or so you may think) for knowledge of all 'Universal Laws' to improve your life, 'attract your desires', and 'manifest your dreams' once and for all:
Introducing the Universal Law of Bollocks
It says that it's all bollocks.
That's right, it's all bollocks. Bollocks! There are universal principles guiding your life. If you want, you can call them 'Universal Laws'. I've done so in my books and articles, because that's what people are looking for these days. If I would apply other terminology, people would never even be looking at it. Simply because they think they need 'Laws'.
But it's all bollocks, because before this whole game we call 'human life' started, we didn't get an instruction manual on how life was supposed to be lived. We didn't get a Code of Law full of 'thou shalt nots'. The purpose of the whole thing was to find out the universal principles and realize that through applying these principles, YOU can have full control over whatever it is you want to create. The purpose of the whole thing was to find out that the world 'outside' is only a mirror showing what's going on 'inside'. All this time, the whole thing has been about finding out that you create your reality experience yourself.
Yes, that's right, you 'create', which is much more than 'attracting'. But that's something you'll discover as you get more experienced in the conscious living of your life and in the engineering your own success by applying the true and simple universal principles of life.
Or yes, 'Laws' if you will.
What you call 'good' and 'bad' are qualifications of your own. You are the one who deems things to be 'good' or 'bad'. That's merely a judgment from your individual perspective. When you're not satisfied with your reality experience, you need to create something else that you are satisfied with.
For many, this is where the Law of Attraction comes in. According to most, this one states that what you focus your thoughts on becomes your reality. There's truth to this statement, but there's more to the story. Positive thinking and visualizing aren't going to cut it. There are certain boundary conditions to take into account, certain 'universal principles of life'. Without attending to these conditions, your attraction efforts will be sabotaged. And this is exactly what most people who have seen 'The Secret' and have tried to put the 'Law of Attraction' into practice are experiencing.
But the last thing you need are instructions that are either overly symbolic, or too complex to apply. What you want to keep things simple and straightforward. Or else you may get lost in the details. You want just enough straightforward knowledge for simple application of the principles, while still having a total view on the big picture that is comprehensive enough to not forget about any universal principle, or Law for that matter.
If you want to make life simple for yourself, to start pulling the right strings at once to create the life and destiny of your dreams, then don't waste another second on trying to find out every small, detailed, insignificant 'Universal Law' someone came up with today. You'll be like a cat chasing its own tail: a never-ending story that leaves you exhausted and depressed.
Neither should you merely think positive thoughts and then wait for things to happen. There's a little more to it. Just a little, nothing complex, but still extremely important.
Just keep it simple. There are 6 main Universal Principles (or Laws) that cover all universal principles automatically. Attend to them all, which is a simple thing to do without much effort required, and you'll be off living more than your dreams before you can even consciously realize you created such an incredible experience!
Keep it straightforward and easy-to-apply. The game of life wasn't intended to be complex and difficult. The game was supposed to be simple and easy, and most of all FUN!
And there's a simple road to it, and it's just a small decision away.

My Experience with The Law of Attraction
I live the life I live because I manifested it. I manifested my life without even knowing that was what I was doing. I am married to the love of my life, because I never gave up on my love for him. Although we were separated for more than 15 years, I never gave up the hope that I would someday be his wife, and now we have been happily married for the last 13 years.
I know the Law works; I am living proof that it does, and so are you. You have the life you have manifested through the thoughts you provide the universe to work with.
It's not just a matter of thinking, but about believing in those thoughts.
I survived two abusive marriages, never giving up on the vision that one day Jeff and I would be together again. Twelve days after my divorce was final, Jeff appeared on my door-step and we've been together ever since.
He traveled 1500 miles to be with me.
A 17 year old vision became a reality and we now live in the mountains, as we dreamed of all those years ago.

The Secret to Never Ending Cash Flow by, Dr. Robert Anthony
Don't Ask Me How...
I just knew we were meant to be together, from the moment I first laid eyes on him. I don't know what it was about him that told me so; perhaps it was his smile, I really can't say for sure. The more I learned about him the more sure I became. Although our paths would separate for a time, we found our way back to each other after 17 years apart and have remained happily together ever since. Ours is a love story that spans more than 30 years. Way back then, I guess, I just knew that he become the man he is today.
