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!

The Power in What You Behold

Even though Esther Hicks does not appear in the current version of The Secret, she was the main teacher in the original version and most of the teachings about the exact mechanics of the Law of Attraction were done by her. Whether you believe in that whole channeling thing or not, what she teaches is powerful.

I saw this bit posted recently from a workshop that Esther did in North Carolina in 2004. It concerns the healing powers of the Saviour:

Jesus is said to have been a powerful healer. And the reason that he was is because when he looked at you, no matter what your current temporary state of physical condition, he
did not allow himself to behold it, instead--he saw you as he knows you to be.

And because he saw you in your wellness, and he saw you that way so powerfully, your illness could not abide in his vibration. There just wasn't a place for it there.

I have posted before about how I no longer give any energy to thoughts of me being sick, even if I feel the initial symptoms of it. I just completely ignore it and move on. I am not sure that I am really seeing myself healthy, but I am doing everything possible to avoid seeing myself sick.

Now I wonder what power and effect it has when I look at someone else? Do I see them as being healthy and well or do I see them as being sick? How much will it help them if I see them as being healthy and well? I am going to have to experiment on this some and I will report back later what I find.

Also I will be posting soon about the reality that we see all around us. Read this for a sense of what I will post about.

The Law of Attraction and Giving Directions

I am writing about cases where the Law of Attraction, or more specifically knowing about it, has made my life easier.

Recently my wife was flying in to the Houston Airport and I needed to give her directions on how to board the right parking bus to find the car I had left for her. There is a bus with a small blue sign and a bus with a small red sign, and she needed to take the one with the red sign.

Prior to watching The Secret , I would have told her to get on the Red bus but not get on the Blue bus. Invariably what would later happen would be when the time came she would be confused, because I had said both red AND blue, and she could not remember which was which. This is an example if we put what we do not want (blue bus) next to what we do want (red bus).

But since I had seen the Secret, I remembered to focus on only what I did want, and so I told her to take the Red bus and said nothing at all about the blue bus. Having those instructions, my wife found the car without any trouble whatsoever. When she saw the blue bus, she knew immediately that it was wrong because I had not even mentioned it, and so she found the red one.

I used to be a good one for giving people confusing instructions because I would tell them what I did want them to do followed by what I did not want them to do. No wonder people got confused. Now I just omit the do not want part. I also now try to phrase everything in terms of what they should do, and not necessarily what they should not do. This has helped as well, because it puts the focus on all the right things.

If you have not seen The Secret, its really cool! I strongly recommend it.

My Health and the Law of Attraction

When I first saw the movie The Secret, I was amazed by the ideas presented about health and disease and The Secret.

Now I do not have and I have never had any really serious diseases, but I have noticed a difference in my life since I learned and started to apply The Secret.

I used to find myself one day with cold symptoms. My reaction would be "Oh no! not again! and then I would come down with that cold for the next seven to nine days. Similar occurrances would happen and I would end up with bronchitis or sinusitis (sinus infection). Even the odd ear infection.

Now since seeing The Secret, I have learned that I do not want to give any kind of energy to these kinds of things.

Now what seems to happen is this: At some point I begin to detect cold symptoms coming on. That part has not changed! But now I completely and utterly ignore them, and do not give them any thought whatsoever. Energy cannot flow where no attention goes I believe, and I am testing the theory in my own life.

Well I have not had a cold, or a bronchitis, or a sinusitis for over a year now since I started doing that. I am 39 years old and to some extent my body is better at fighting these things now since I am older with a more experienced immune system, but the complete reversal is startling.

And I had another strange experience. Sometimes my ears fill up a little with wax and I go to the doctor to get it professionally removed. (Yes I could be attracting the wax, but I do not know how yet). So I went about three months after watching the secret and my doctor told me that I had a big ear infection in one ear.

Now I have had these before and they HURT! But this time I did not even believe her because I could not feel anything. When I focused specifically if I was feeling anything I could detect maybe a little pressure in that ear, but no pain whatsoever. It was really weird!

Based on all of this I would have to say that The Secret has so far proven to be true in my life with regard to Health, and based on James Allen saying "those who live in fear of disease are the ones who get it", I have determined to give no energy at all to any thoughts of me having any disease.
