THE "SECRET"

I have just listened to the c.d.s of "The Secret", and felt strongly compelled to write. From what it said on the c.d.s, people will not want to hear my words because they don’t make you “feel good”, but I am So Happy And Grateful that you Do hear my words, so now you HAVE to hear them!!! (Smile.)

Some of you may have no idea what I am talking about. I don't know how many out there have seen the movie or read the book, but the "Secret" is Nature's law of attraction, which brings things into your life that you focus your intention on. In the Bible the concept is stated as "ask and you shall receive". Prayer invokes the "Secret". Happiness and gratitude accelerates the intention. I am hugely simplifying, but if you want to explore the concept further there is a book and movie as well as the c.d.s.

I was shocked and saddened to get all the way to the end of the c.d.’s and there was not a single word said about using the law of attraction to stomp all over other laws of Nature. The law of attraction is not the only law of Nature, and teaching it without regard for any other laws is HORRIFYING. At the end it talked about all things being connected, but if people TRULY felt that, they would be able to feel what they are doing to the Earth by all this “attracting” of things with no regard for the effects that has. Yes you CAN attract, or pray for and receive, the giant house and giant car and all the fancy everything you want, but that all comes at a VERY high price for the planet we all call home. All the rampant growth of consumerism is POISONING our soil and water and air. Pretending this is not happening, or burying our heads in “happy” things so we don’t have to pay attention to the destruction we are causing, does not stop the onslaught from all our actions.

Perhaps people are simply unaware of the consequences of their lifestyles when they no longer live in a relationship of balance with Nature. The big house and condo developments here where I live have caused so much run-off into the ocean, the reefs are mostly dead now. The clearing of forests to fill a desire for more and more things has now driven the number of species going extinct to ONE EVERY 3 HOURS, in the name of attracting more goods to those who want them. They hold up Belize in the c.d.s as a celebration of “good” for discovering oil, with no mention of how burning oil is choking our planet’s air. Every day there are massive amounts of plastic that wash up on the shore from all the “things” that people use and throw away every single day. One of the laws of Nature is BALANCE, and by ONLY invoking the law of attraction, or praying for "things" with no thought for the effect it will have on the Earth, people have stepped outside the law of balance. All kinds of plant, animal and ocean species are dying every day just so people can have their big houses and big cars and lots of fancy things. I ask you this: If you know that all life energy is connected, can you really not FEEL this obliteration in your soul? Or do you simply block it out because it wouldn't “feel good”?

People all over the world need to wake up to the CONSEQUENCES of using the law of attraction, or prayer, with no regard for the effect of what you “attract”. I KNOW this is not what CONSCIOUSNESS wants. It is what unconsciousness is doing. And sadly, the teaching of the "Secret" without talking about other laws of Nature, is adding to the destruction. I know people only want to “feel happy”, but LOOK at what your life is doing to the Earth. FEEL her in every single choice you make. Start "attracting" things and praying for things that will help the Earth. And start asking others to become conscious and shift their choices as well.
Thank you for listening, and DOING something about it.
