What Does it Mean? "Get Really Clear"

These words were uttered by James Arthur Ray in The Secret just before he asks if we treat ourselves the way that we would like others to treat us. Other than him saying the words, the concept is not further explored within the movie (I am guessing that the Secret Part II will contain more on this).

What does it mean? It has to do with what is going on inside our heads. The movie teaches that we should put our attention and thought focus on what we want, not what we don't want; but our mind can still be crowded with a very long list of different things that we do want, and a crowded mind does not focus too much energy on any one specific thought.

To bring some order to this process, several of the teachers will recommend making a list (actually writing it down is important) of the things that we want, and as Bob Proctor says to "make it in the present tense", like we already had the things we are wanting. The concept of the Vision Board as described by John Asseref is for the same purpose, to keep us focused on those things that we are really wanting.

The "Get Really Clear" part comes in after this. If we assume that our list is created in the order of the things that we want most at the top, then we "Get Really Clear" by spending some specific time each day thinking on - visualizing - meditating on the item that is at the very top of the list, not allowing other thoughts to distract us. Similar time could be spent on the next two or three items, but each item needs to be given specific and un-interrupted time.

One way I have heard the activity described is to play a movie within your mind. The movie stars you as the person who already has the things that you are wanting now. How are you acting now that you already have these things? What is your life like now? Who can you bless now that you were not able to bless before because you have this new thing?

Oh, and by the way, if you are wanting someone close to you to achieve something, and you want to help them, the absolute best thing that you can do to help is to think of them and talk to them as if they had already achieved what they are wanting. That will help them to "Get Really Clear", and will speed the manifestation greatly.

If someone close to you knows about and is supportive of what you are wanting, they could do the same thing for you.

A clear mind is a peaceful one. For those who believe in God it is a mind that feels free of major offense against same. None of us are perfect, but some of us are not trying very hard. Anything that we have done that was an offense to others will not help to clear the mind, so we should do all that we can to remedy such situations. A clear mind is one of the results of having faith, and as such faith should be cultivated.

It also helps to remember that failures happen to everyone, and the only difference between those who manifest what they want and those who do not is how they view those failures. Successful people know that failure is a stepping stone towards manifestation, while unsuccessful people view failure as a sign that its time to quit.

It is not those who fail who do not succeed, it is those who QUIT!
