Here and now

The recent movie titled The Secret has become enormously popular and does a great job of driving home two points:

1. You are fully responsible for your current situation (don’t pretend to be a victim)
2. You have the ability to impact your future and attract anything you like

Just by itself, this is hugely empowering. It asks us to take responsibility. And holds out hope for everyone that they can draw whatever they fancy regardless of current circumstances. No wonder it has found tremendous success in a short amount of time.

The ability to impact the future is very attractive. This message is a little watered down in The Secret because of excessive emphasis on attracting comforts (car, house, vacation), health, and relationships.

There are several important elements that are not emphasized adequately:

• Understanding that a LOT of energy and force is emanating at an unconscious level. Without understanding what lurks underneath, you can easily be superficially wishing for stuff but this will have no material impact on the future.

• Taking action is important, just thinking and visualizing won’t get you there. Thinking certain thoughts by itself is not enough to shape the future (but is a start).
• Tuning in is as important as broadcasting your vibrations.
• Full acceptance of everything as it is is required before you can truly vibrate at a higher frequency. Merely tolerance of the current (undesirable) situation is not good enough. Complete non-resistance and acceptance of current situation is required and this suggests detachment and purity. Purity amplifies your request. Oddly if you can do this, you probably don’t have strong desires for grosser/material things that you wish to draw to yourself. Or at least every iteration of desiring+fulfilment will result in a more refined desires and more complete acceptance of undesirable elements that have been drawn from past vibrations.
