The Universe Is Your Reflection

Awareness of the Law of Attraction has risen significantly since the 2006 publication of The Secret. The idea that one’s thoughts create one’s reality is not new. It is an ancient concept that was revered by alchemists and gained popularity in the later 1800’s with the advent of the New Thought movement, and it has continued to exert influence through the teachings of spiritual mentors, New Age practitioners and Personal Achievement gurus. The widespread success of The Secret brought the Law of Attraction to a mainstream audience, and since then, many more humans have been playing The Game with an increased awareness of the role of their thoughts in the creation of their personal experience.

Further study of The Secret reveals it to be largely based on Hermetic principles found in the The Emerald Tablet of Hermes Trismegistus and its 1900’s successor, The Kybalion, in addition to other books written by New Thought teachers in the 20th century. The Secret also owes much of its content to the work of Esther Hicks, a channel for a group of nonphysical entities known as Abraham. Esther and her husband Jerry have spent decades documenting Abraham’s teachings about the Law of Attraction and the Nature of Reality as we know it, and Esther continues to channel for Abraham today. The earliest version of The Secret on DVD features Esther channeling Abraham, giving a simplified explanation of how to use one’s thoughts and emotions to evoke the life experience one desires from The Universe.

The Secret is a wonderful and uplifting introduction to Conscious Creation, and I highly recommend it, (especially the original version on DVD if possible) for anyone who is curious about learning to manifest their desires into their life experience. However, if one truly wants to master the art of manifesting and to consistently live life in Joy, one needs to go beyond the simple mechanics of positive thinking and learn how this 3D Game is actually set up. Knowing the rules of The Game and how it is structured can give you that extra push towards mastery, and at the same time help cement the deep and abiding sense of Worthiness you need to exist in Joy.
