Book reflection – ‘The Secret’
I have the book ‘The Secret’ already for almost a year around me. I already know that the described mechanism ‘attraction’ feels existing for me. But I also heard some resonances around the book about being ‘typipcal American’ and focus on possesion, power, etc.
Well, due to sleeping in clear sky in a park next to the NBC tower in Hollywood north, and a eaely rain (at 1:30AM) I decided to read the book.
I must say, my feelings are ‘better’ about the book. The synthesizer (Rhonda) speaks non material words. But, however, ofte quoutes are still about ‘gaining a big car, house, etcetera’). Other quoutes are more balanced stating that happiness is not about meterial or power.
Already two years ago a new word popped up in my mind ‘creamation’. It has a high resonance with the Secret, but than it focuses on ‘doing good’ and thus bringing the Love essence -which is also mentioned in the Secret to be a primary force- is put to action at a practical level. For me, bringing love to the world combined wiht living in a house of 4,5 million dollars and let African people suffer, does not make sense. Than you don’t bring love to the world. Than the Secret becomes a shelter for unproportional destructive egoism, stating that the ‘comsos’ provides for abundance for all.
Wrong, I think. Abundance comes via sharing and removing the word ‘to have something’ out of our vocubulary and replace it by ‘be the guardian of something’, rolling up that we are together the guardians of mother earth and eachother.
However, there is one aspect I do strongly disagree: that all is a consequence of your own thought. I name this ‘Toral-Will-Control-Doctrine’. I believe that by stating that your situation is a direct and total consequence of your thought and thus your will, does injustice to a lot of people, who are in distress (starving in Africa ‘well, you attracted this yourself, sorry’, war victimes, women victim of rape, etc). It is too easy.
I believe it is more ‘Zen’.
I suggest you to read an article I wrote on creamation to read more on this (http://www.iwanjka.com/2011/11/creamation-wimantic-page).
Furtheron, we can credit Rhonda for bring the openess for ‘magic’ back in the world. It makes sense for me that Gaia / the cosmos does this via a way Western people are the most vulnerable: posession, greed, etc. Now, I thing it is time to release a next secret… to pop a next bottle: doing good is the power behind the secret like creation power. And doing good and the nowadays expression of the American dream do not match. The Iconomy (see Novaglobe book) and doing good do not match.
So, if we, you, want to put ‘the secret’ to action in a harmonic fashion, take some hours and write down for you what is the definition of goodness… and than take a look in the mirror if you life like this.
And, really being good matches with living as a Christ… so, it all comes together, and we can make it one stage upwarts, closer to creating heaven on earth.
