For those of you who’s not familiar with The Secret, The Secret is a film that is having a lot of grassroots success. Its exponent have found their way onto national television such as Oprah and Larry King. People are really excited by the sort of “if you believe good things will happen to you, they will” sort of perspective. It touches some key emotional hot buttons in people (especially regarding wealth and prosperity) and encourages positive thinking and personal development.

Simpleology is a free course taught by Mark Joyner, which consists of check list and 40-day workbook. Mark Joyner defined Simpleology as the simple science of getting what you want.

In a nutshell, The Secret emphasizes positive thinking while Simpleology on the other hand emphasizes the rational analysis of your actions that helps you to streamline your habits and discard harmful or ineffective ones.

In either case, it’s clear that you need to decide what you want to get to get it. The reason most people who say they want to be wealthy do not achieve it is because they do not act in a consistent enough manner to achieve it.

The truth is that the habit of taking action is far more powerful than daydreaming about the trappings of success.

The Secret helps you to think positively and decide what you want to get.

Simpleology helps you to take consistent action to get what you want to get. Simpleology helps you to get the habit of taking positive actions.

So use both Simpleology and The Secret for your own benefit!

The amazing thing about The Secret is that you won’t find it in your local Blockbuster or Barnes and Noble, it is selling briskly through new-age bookstores, New Thought churches like Unity and AGape and the official website at www.thesecret.tv. “It’s become the biggest selling item in the 30-year history of our store,” says Harmony Rose Allor, a buyer at West Hollywood’s popular metaphysical bookshop, The Bodhi Tree. it is “word-of-mouth” marketing at it best.

So what is the secret to The Secret success? It’s is a “transformational movie”, where a person’s view on life and the laws of life will no longer be the same after watching this movie. In a sense, it has created the same kind of effect as “the Da Vinci Code” and the 2004 hit cult movie “What the Bleep Do We Know”. The movie has created such waves that it has already been featured on the Oprah Winfrey Show, Larry King Live and the Ellen DeGeneres show.

At the core of the movie is a central philosophy called the Law of Attraction. In fact, the movie itself was inspired by this very same law when the producer read a book called “the Science of Getting Rich” by Wallace D. Wattles. This books was written in 1910!

This philosophy states that we create our reality, both good and bad! The message is delivered through 24 “teachers” which include prosperity preachers, chiropractic healers, relationship gurus, life coaches and motivational speakers — into one clear, cohesive voice. The movie is a “must watch” for anyone interested in taking charge of their life and in creating the life of their dreams.

Following on the success of the Secret, 3 of the core teachers – namely Bob Proctor and Jack Canfield have collaborated to produce a wealth building program called The Secret Science of Getting Rich Seminar. This program is based on the book that inspired the movie and is set to make history as the fastest selling personal development program in history.

What is the Science of Getting Rich about? Well in the words of Wallace D. Wattles, “The ownership of money and property comes as a result of doing things in a certain way. Those who do things in this certain way, whether on purpose or accidentally, get rich. Those who do not do things in this certain way, no matter how hard they work or how able they are, remain poor. It is a natural law that like causes always produce like effects. Therefore, any man or woman who learns to do things in this certain way will infallibly get rich.” The Science of Getting Rich is all about teaching how to do things in this “certain” way to create wealth.

The success of this program is built on several rock solid foundations. These factors include: the phenomenal success of “the Secret”, the timeless concepts from the Science of Getting Rich by Wallace D. Wattles, the credibility of successful personal improvement teachers and New Thought leaders of our time, and the Internet as the distribution medium.

Now awareness is very important. Most of us are operating from a very low level of awareness. We simply don’t understand the laws of the universe, law of attraction. No wonder our performance is below par. Stop for a moment and think. Human beings are at the very top of the evolution ladder. We are in fact capable of doing much more than any other animal. Why is that? Is it because of our physical strength? There are animals which are far bigger and stronger than us. For that matter, human beings are one of the weakest among animal species. Then how is it that we have been so successful. Isn’t it because of our awareness?

Awareness about who we are and what we are capable of is the single factor which separates us from others. We are capable of much more than our physical structure suggests. We are able to multiply our strength by using tools. These tools are a product of our mind. Without our mind and ingenuity, nothing would have been possible. Now what more evidence do we require to prove the might of our minds?

Let me take this argument a little further. What would have happened, if we had not invented the wheel? Surely, the civilization would not be as it exists today. And how was the wheel invented? Most probably by a man who was aware of the strength of his mind and a firm faith in his capabilities. With this simple tool the human civilization took a steep upward turn.

Not to suggest that we all have to reinvent the wheel, so to say. We have to be aware of our strength and constantly evolve new and exciting ways to become prosperous. Remember, only our mind is a barrier to richness and glory. Break the shackles of the mind, become aware of your true self and reap the ensuing benefits.

Everything starts with belief. Faith is the essence of religion. Of life. Of truth and reality. “I wasn’t always the way I am now”, confesses Bob Proctor in his Science of Getting Rich. Do you know that he started off as a fireman, with debt and problems like everyone else? But an accidental exposure to the law of attraction made him the millionaire he is. Not only a millionaire but also famous. Somewhere along the line, he changed the way he thought. And with the changed thoughts his actions changed. You don’t have to go through the process he had to. We have to follow the principle of nature.

But everything begins with faith. One should be absolutely clear in our mind that the law of attraction is immutable. It is a law like gravity. Have you seen pigs fly? Or for that matter human beings. Why not? Because the law of gravity does not allow you to fly. It is the same with the law of attraction. It is immutable. It doesn’t change with situation. But we have to believe.

Did you know that the human brain is the biggest computer ever designed? Even after hundreds of years in the future we wouldn’t be able to come anywhere near designing a computer like the human brain. Did you know that the heart beats throughout our lives without any rest? When we see nature we marvel at its resilience. At is sheer capacity. If each part of the human body is capable of such marvelous fears, what about us?

We are after all a sum of all our parts. We are surely capable of much more than we think. In fact our capacity is immense. Nature has made us in its image. Imagine yourself to be a bud blooming into a flower, a seed and a tree. Look at nature. It is full of surprises. Take a cue from it and realize your full potential.

We hardly use a fraction of the talent, ability and power which we are endowed with. Unfortunately, we always think what is achievable and then fall short of it. We are limited by our thoughts, our ambition and by ourselves. And we blame our circumstances for everything.

Let me give you an example of Helen Keller. She was born deaf, mute and blind. She could have succumbed to her situation and no one would have blamed her. But what did she do? She rose way beyond the reality. She realized that reality is but her thoughts. And the rest is history. When you read about the great discoverers in the history of mankind, you would see that most have gone beyond the trodden path. Many have undergone hardships and deprivation, I agree. But they have succeeded.

Here we are, with no such lofty ambitions. Many of us merely want a nice home or a big sedan. And what is it we discover? We are unable to covert even these small desires into reality.

The reason why we are unable to succeed is because we remain under the influence of what is possible. Again, if Helen Keller had thought what was possible, she would have been a failure. Neil Armstrong would never have conquered Everest if he had looked for precedence.

So what do we learn from these great people? That we are limited by our thoughts. We can only reach the heights we set ourselves to climb. The law of attraction is all about this. Nothing is ever achieved unless we plan to achieve it. The higher we climb, the nearer we are to the sky. Each step towards our personal Everest is a step closer to our goal. And the universe connives to help. You will be surprised how unknown people will come forward to help, circumstances would be created and matter would move to guide you on your way. This is sheer magic at its best.

Once you have made up your mind and have the big picture in your mind, go for it. Don’t hesitate. Don’t look around. Go right ahead with the gas pedal hitting the floor.

It looks so simple. Yet most of us flounder on the way. As soon as we see the first bump on the road, we lose heart and change direction. And when we meander all over the place, we wonder how we got there in the first place.

The law of attraction is universal. If you have positive thoughts they would get absorbed by the universe and rebound back manifold. The same goes for negative thoughts. Remember, the universe is neutral. Like a mirror. If you send out negative signals, you will see negativity reflected around you. So you have to be careful. Always think positively. The more you think positively, more positive things will happen to you. And it will all add up.

And focus is all important. Imagine your mind to be a lens. When you hold the lens against the light, what happens? It collects all the dispersed light and points it at one specific point. And then it burns the patch you are holding the lens on. Don’t you think the same is happening to your thoughts? Indeed it is. The more focused you are, more likely you will set a scorching pace towards success. Get rid of negativity. It disperses your energy. Get hold of positive thoughts by the scruff of the neck and keep twisting till the essence is realized.

Now, this is a very profound thought. Human beings like us perceive things at different levels. Most of us take a cue from what we can see visually. We read that so and so has become rich by working hard and we think, the secret lies in working hard. Some book says one should buy shares to become rich. We go and buy shares and burn our fingers and feel bitter about it for the rest of our lives. What I want to tell these people is that if you do the same things again and again, you get the same results, again and again.

In Think and Grow Rich, Napoleon Hill said, “An educated person is not necessarily a person with an abundance of general or specialized knowledge. An educated person is a person who has so developed the faculties of their mind, that they can develop anything or acquires anything that they want, or it’s equivalent, without violating the rights of others.” What we want to do is start to understand these faculties. Perception, the will, reason, imagination, intuition and memory. These are higher faculties. So, through imagination we want to build a picture of what we want.

Now, when you build a picture, make it really big. Nothing like you has ever seen before. Let your imagination fly. And leave the baggage of your past behind and focus on the future. What will happen if you only look in the rear view mirror when you drive? I am sure you would crash in no time. But we keep looking into the rear view mirror while driving through our lives! No doubt we crash out fast and furious.

Forget the past. Put it behind you. Create a truly big picture of your future life. Don’t hold yourself back. Use all your higher faculties. Imagination, intuition. Give them a free play. Give your thoughts a free rein. And then watch the fun.

The only way to restore the equilibrium of nature is to think our way into prosperity. There is a difference between thinking about prosperity as a distant dream and thinking and living in abundance in the present moment. Think you are already rich or in love or whatever you wish to be and it will turn into reality.

I can hear you say, “It is very easy to tell others to start living their dreams. Here I am up to my neck in debt and creditors breathing down my neck. How do you expect me to think, even for a moment, that I am rich and prosperous? More than anything, I only feel despair.” Let me tell you this. Frankly, I also felt the same. But this is where the law of attraction comes into force. Can’t you see that more you think of debt, more you are going to sink into it? The universe is neutral. If you send positive signals out into space, they get magnified and come back with renewed energy and force. When you are thinking about debt, the universe magnifies and reinforces debt. You are forcing nature to do your bidding.

In Think and Grow Rich, Napoleon Hill says, “Decide what you want, write it on a card, carry the card with you, read it as often as possible every day, at least every morning when you get up and before you to go to bed at night.” This is as good an advice as any. You have to break out of the old mold. Just imagine your thoughts of debt and misery as old clothes and throw them away. Create a powerful mental image in your mind of throwing the old clothes far away and then don new clothes, nice and silky, full of positive energy. Carry this spanking new picture with you wherever you go. I promise that your life would be transformed magically.
