The Secret that is not

There is undoubtedly a close connection between our thinking and creation.

However, creating from ego severely limits the scope of power and enjoyment.

The practice of conscious manifestation teaches us how to access:

• our essence identity,
• our “Deep I,”

which expresses itself as pure abundance and fulfilment.

In this state of consciousness, manifestation becomes a playful expression of our highest good and naturally benefits the collective consciousness, using affirmations, guidance in the art of vision boarding, and insights into elevating the “vibrational frequency” of every cell in the body.

Thus we know how to deal with obstacles, rejection, and other challenging situations that inevitably arise on the path of manifestation We get in touch, anew, with the ultimate source of satisfaction, joy, expression, and enthusiasm. Conscious relationships become naturally and we know how to create from fullness and joy, rather than scarcity, lack, and insufficiency.

Rhonda Byrne (née Izon; born 1951, Melbourne, Australia) is an Australian television writer and producer. Her New Thought book The Secret (based on a film she produced of the same name) is based on the law of attraction. She wrote several sequels to the book, including The Power, The Magic and Hero, as well as other books that relate to The Secret in which she re-introduces a notion originally popularized by persons such as Madame Blavatsky and Norman Vincent Peale that thinking about certain things will make them appear in one's life. Rhonda Byrne provides examples of historical persons who have allegedly achieved this.

Mrs Byrne cites a three-step process:

• ask,
• believe,
• receive,

based on a quotation from the Bible:

Matthew 21:22: "And all things, whatsoever ye shall ask in prayer, believing, ye shall receive."

R. Byrne highlights the importance of gratitude and visualization in achieving one's desires, along with alleged examples.                                                                ➥ lost & retrieved (actually, never lost)

道德經第十六章

致虛極，守靜篤。

萬物並作，吾以觀復。

夫物芸芸，各復歸其根。

歸根曰靜，是謂復命。

復命曰常，知常曰明。

不知常，妄作凶。

知常容，容乃公，公乃王，王乃天，天乃道，道乃久，沒身不殆。

Dao De Jing Chapter 16 - Muller

16. Effect emptiness to the extreme...

Effect emptiness to the extreme.

Keep stillness whole.

Myriad things act in concert.

I, therefore, watch their return.

All things flourish and each returns to its root.

Returning to the root is called quietude.

Quietude is called returning to life.

Return to life is called constant.

Knowing this constant is called illumination.

Acting arbitrarily without knowing the constant is harmful.

Knowing the constant is receptivity, which is impartial.

Impartiality is kingship.

Kingship is Heaven.

Heaven is the Way

the Way is eternal.

Though you lose the body, you do not die.

Dao De Jing Chapter 16 - James Legge

(Returning to the root)

The (state of) vacancy should be brought to the utmost degree, and that of stillness guarded with unwearying vigour. All things alike go through their processes of activity, and (then) we see them return (to their original state). When things (in the vegetable world) have displayed their luxuriant growth, we see each of them return to its root. This returning to their root is what we call the state of stillness, and that stillness may be called a reporting that they have fulfilled their appointed end. The report of that fulfilment is the regular, unchanging rule. To know that unchanging rule is to be intelligent; not to know it leads to wild movements and evil issues. The knowledge of that unchanging rule produces a (grand) capacity and forbearance, and that capacity and forbearance lead to a community (of feeling with all things). From this community of feeling comes a kingliness of character; and he who is king-like goes on to be heaven-like. In that likeness to heaven, he possesses the Dao. Possessed of the Dao, he endures long; and to the end of his bodily life, is exempt from all danger of decay.
