Break the myth
I know that many people worship the book "The Secret."
But I claim that many people do not understand it correctly.
For example my friend previously told me
Never tell yourself that you can not achieve anything, you will broadcast to the universe not to bring you abundance!
The truth is that I got a little pressure.
The fact that he told me "never" made me want to do the opposite.
The strange formula for the success of guided imagery and countless times of back in the head on mantras of success have not helped me in a very long time!
After years of trying to understand how to make the universe bring me what I want (really want).
I realized that my desires were not in my control at all!
Perhaps it is possible to develop a desire slowly.
But it is almost impossible to change your will, all that the secret book tries to tell you is
Get your wishes out!
Take a little notebook,
And write down in detail.
How do you want your wife to see?
How do you want your house to look?
How do you want your children to look?
That when you wrote in your little notebook what you wanted, you did not understand what you wanted.
For example, I wrote in my little notebook that I wanted to be like one of my brothers in terms of marriage life, if I'm not mistaken I also put a picture of them
today , it's really really far from what I want...
I remember I also put a nice picture of a BMW car and today I'm in the direction of the most simple car that just does the job!
Even if they pay me money, I will not drive in a Ferrari near people
source
The Chief Rabbi of Israel was an admirer of "Quality of Life Together with Wisdom"
And today I'm not a religious person at all (at least not like I was).
If you really want to attract something, imagine it.
But you must imagine what you really really want!
If the imagination comes from an advertisement, a movie, or something else that has influenced your life the way you wanted it to.
You will attract air!
What I discovered:
If you think less, you get what you want.
I remember that I had something I was able to do with my studies above what I expected very much!
I did not care at all to fail.
I never used "the secret" technique.
And I told myself I was very bad at this subject( in my opinion.)
but!
What came out of me was pressure !
source
Without imagination, without "acting like I'm already" style "fake it till you make it."
I received a grade of 10
All I had was calm and self-confidence that everything would be all right.
I'm not saying!
Imagination can lead us on! Can take out things we can only imagine.
First of all you will understand what you want and only then can you imagine and truly achieve it!
- The hardest way is to try and fail and understand that you do not want one thing and you do want something else.
But this is also the most effective way for me. - A person with life experience,
A person who really wants to listen and help you, someone who does not have such a person in life is a poor person. - Talk to a good friend.
A true friend is a friend who tells you what you really need and not only feels sorry for you.
It will also help you achieve what you want. - Try to surround yourself with people who bring you good energy, sometimes in adult life it is very difficult, we imprison ourselves and can not free ourselves from commitments, it is very important to be in a place where the energy of people does us good!
I never succeeded where the energies were bad (people made me personally feel bad energies, maybe other person could feel great at the same place.)
In conclusion:
The secret book is a book for advanced people In my opinion, it should come after the book "What do I really want from myself - Spiritual development" Then the tool of the book "The Secret" is a great tool to attract good things to you, peoples always love the "easy way" but for the easy way and for implement the "secret" you should first cross the hard stage and that is "Finding inner will"
Try reading "The Law of Attraction" that may help clear up a lot of your confusion

I read the secret and watched the documentary. Immediately after it seemed to work. I had a lot of positivity ... in the beginning. A small desires came to me almost 'magically'. I did discover that a positive mind set works ... it just works because you feel better and feeling better is its own reward. The problem with an approach like the secret is it has us focusing on 'desires' and these desires grow in our mind and begin to overshadow any happiness created. Desires will arise and it is good for the human psyche to work for something. But ultimately healthy living and balance is the key to happiness. Desires have a tendency to throw one off balance.

Desires are natural. If we didn't have them we wouldn't do anything in life. Putting pressure on creating happiness that is where people fail. Focus on living and you are good. Most think they are living but they aren't. They are always somewhere else. This is what cause bad feelings because you know you are doing something you shouldn't. Now I label the last as you shouldn't but you get my point.

Desires arise naturally. That is true. Insisting on their fulfillment, however, leads to suffering. Linking contentment to the fulfillment of desires will continually deny one happiness. One can think of suffering and happiness as existing dualistically. But perhaps that is not true for everyone. When I speak of happiness I mean existing without suffering and not necessarily existing in a state of exaltation. 'Concentrating on living' can mean many things to many people. But what I can tell you without hesitation and with complete assertion is that pinning happiness to the fulfillment of desires denies one contentment and leads to suffering. Unless you have figured a way to achieve each and every desire. But otherwise, the more attached you are to your desires, the more you will suffer.

Yes I agree. Of course you should already be content. The state of suffering for majority as you say is very linked to people wanting another outcome instead of paying attention to the moment. They just have unrealistic expactations of what life is.

Oh but then why have desires if it is not going to be fulfilled to add to the happiness?
There are times I get what I want after I don't want it anymore so of course I don't take it since my want for it has passed. It just becomes a waste when that happens. :(

In the pursuit of desires we create new things and experience. That is why we have desires. It is only when we attach to desires that we suffer.

Yeah so when the desire is gone then should the suffering be gone too. Lol.

Desires are unlikely to go anywhere ... although they will evolve ... it is the attachment to desire that causes suffering. When desires are not attached to they are just ideas and do not cause suffering. Desires are also not just about physical desires ... they mean anything you want different from what actually is. So one can lose the desire to say be with someone but thoughts of that person can still bring suffering, if one is not accepting of what has transpired or the present situation. Ultimately it is the thought attached to desires that cause the suffering.

Great post. It only makes sense that one has to be sure of what they want before they attempt acquiring it through the law of attraction. Its the same as knowing where you're going before putting gas in the car.

Friend, I suggest you to read Shrimad Bhagavad Gita. In the Gita you will found what practical life and how the universe really work.
That book guided me a lot when I was depressed.

Thanks for recommendation. Would also recommend to check out Swami Vivekananda. There is a book with thousands of pages someone collected all his work and put together on the Amazon Kindle store. Extreme high value and high level thinking he see things from so many perspectives and is very nuanced in his thinking. Probably one of the best thinkers in history. His ability to perceive nature and life just wow.

It isn't imaginary. It is scientific. It references quantum physics.
Let me give you a basic scientific example. Mobiles transmit signals and these signals are collected by service provider and the provider responds correspondingly. Similarly, let's consider the case of the energy transmission through our thoughts.
You develop a thought within you and tend to establish a connection with the universe. According to quantum physics, the signals of required frequency thus established create energy to make things happen. This energy tranforms you and all that around you to achieve what you want. Meanwhile, the connection with the universe should be maintained with your positive thoughts, else there are chances of lowering the frequency, and breaking the energy and the happening of the deed.
I suppose the explanation would satisfy the proof of approval.

I think these are few things are very important work hard,think less,expect less and try to be happy with what you have got.Just think what you have got most of the people of this world cant even think about that.Don't try to chose people with good energy that will even things more complicated just try to avoid those who down your moral.Start feeling happy with what you have got.Thank's for the post.@resteemed

Think is good. Don't have to try to be happy that never works. Just live in the moment and you are good. Take appropriate action for the current situation. Don't get attached to anything. Work smart instead of hard. Choose people with good energy since that will bring you up higher.

So the new law, the hottest law, the newest law, the sexiest law, the most realistic, clear, simple, always giving results is the law of action.
Whenever you want something, ask yourself if you've acted pretty much or well (I recommend both) to have that one.
Those who have everything they want do not have time to fill their minds with all kinds of nonsense and "secrets" because they know that the only secret was, is and will be: intelligent work.

It is always good to have mind of your own, that's what a lot of people don't know. Theory works according to persons, situations, and environments. I have come to know that as humans with different spirits so also things work differently with us, either good or bad

Myth is an understatement. I find it hard to believe that this ~20yo promotion of being a god unto one's self is still being peddled. SMH...at the millions these 'gurus' are earning at the expense of many souls.
Yes, I'll prolly get pushback...really doesn't matter. Believe what you wish; as do I:
God knew you before you were formed in your mother's womb. HE KNOWS the PLANS HE has for you. (Jeremiah 1:5, Jeremiah 29:11)
I've got a saying:
Be careful what you wish for. You just might get it! How many people can tell you how getting things they wished for without regard for what God wanted them to have, literally made a wreck of their lives?
The most authentic life begins with taking 'I want' out of the equation, replacing it with 'Whatever God wants me to have'. The latter means that whatever you encounter on the journey is preparation for bringing you to your highest self.
Left to my own devices...getting the things that would make life 'easier' would complicate it on so many more levels.
Be mindful of what you read, everybody. If it pricks your spirit, as somethin', somethin', somethin' just 'aint' right, it's prolly ALL WRONG. ;+)
Best regards!
Btw, my .99 ebook on Amazon...God Speaks Are You Listening would serve you a whole lot better in the long run.
Peace.

The point is to have a positive attitude and to know that life is good. If you emit a positive attitude to the world around you then you will also attract positive people and experiences. I've found it to be entirely true. I gained a new perspective on life and existence after reading that book. Calling it a myth and hating on it will only attract more negative things to you.
Also this is not an original idea from the book. Just another method of describing an ideology that has been discussed and practiced for thousands of years.

Some books can be so useful, but some books are just theoretical tool.
Am also a reader too but i realize the years of reading some books i didn't have anytime in my life to think for myself, it felt like i was living someone's life, everytime i faced a challenge i would rush to the books. Now am abit picky with some books. To try and error taught me alot and it made me very good in some fields of my life.
You will attract air!
You are right, attracting something or success is much more than just imagining.
