The Secret to the World

LISA NICHOLS

People have a tendency to look at the things that they want and say, “Yes, I like that, I want that.” However, they look at the things that they don’t want and they give them just as much energy, if not more, with the idea that they can stamp it out, they can eliminate it, obliterate it. In our society, we’ve become content with fighting against things. Fighting against cancer, fighting against poverty, fighting against war, fighting against drugs, fighting against terrorisim, fighting against violence. We tend to fight everything we don’t want, which actually creates more of a fight.

HALE DWOSKIN

TEACHER AND AUTHOR OF THE SEDONA METHOD

Anything we focus on we do create. So if we’re really angry, for instance, at a war that’s going on, or strife,

BOB DOYLE

The reason that what you resist persists is because if you’re resisting something, you’re saying, “No, I don’t want this thing, because it makes me feel this way—the way I am feeling right now.”

Resistance to anything is like trying to change the outside pictures after they have been transmitted. It’s a futile pursuit. You have to go within and emit a new signal with your thoughts and feelings to create the new pictures.

As you resist what has appeared, you are adding more energy and more power to those pictures you don’t like, and you are bringing more of them at a furious rate. The event or circumstances can only get bigger, because that is the law of the Universe.

JACK CANFIELD

The anti-war movement creates more war. The anti-drug movement has actually created more drugs. Because we’re focusing on what we don’t want—drugs!

LISA NICHOLS

How much sense does it make for us to give the particular problem all of the energy, as opposed to focusing on trust, love, living in abundance, education, or peace?

JACK CAN FIELD

Mother Teresa was brilliant. She said, “I will never attend an anti-war rally. If you have a peace rally, invite me.” She knew.

She understood The Secret. Look what she manifested in the world.

HALE DWOSKIN

So if you’re anti-war, be pro-peace instead. If you’re antihunger, be pro-people having more than enough to eat. If you are anti-a-particular politician, be pro-his opponent. Often elections are tipped in favor of the person that the people are really against, because he’s getting all the energy and all the focus.

Everything in this world began with one thought. The bigger things get bigger because more people give their thoughts to it after it has appeared. Then those thoughts and emotions keep that very event in our existence, and make it bigger. If we took our minds off it and focused instead on love, it could not exist. It would evaporate and disappear.

“Remember, and this is one of the most difficult as well as most wonderful statements to grasp.

Remember that no matter what the difficulty is,no matter where it is, no matter who is affected, you have no patient but yourself; you have nothing to do but convince yourself of the truth which you desire to see manifested.”

JACKCANFIELD

It’s OK to notice what you don’t want, because it gives you contrast to say, “This is what I do want.” But the fact is, the more you talk about what you don’t want, or talk about how bad it is, read about that all the time, and then say how terrible it is—well, you’re creating more of that You cannot help the world by focusing on the negative things. As you focus on the negative events of the world, you not only add to them, but you bring more negative things into your own life at the same time.

When the pictures have appeared of something you do not want, it is your cue to change your thinking and emit a new signal. If it is a world situation, you are not powerless. You have all the power.

Focus on everybody being in joy. Focus on abundance of food. Give your powerful thoughts to what is wanted. You have the ability to give so much to the world by emitting feelings of love and wellbeing, despite what is happening around you.The Secret to the World 145 When I discovered The Secret I made a decision that I would not watch the news or read newspapers anymore, because it did not make me feel good. The news services and the newspapers are not in any way to blame for broadcasting bad news. As a global community, we are responsible for it. We buy more newspapers when a huge drama is the headline. The news channels’ ratings skyrocket when there is a national or international disaster. So the newspapers and news services give us more bad news because, as a society, that’s what we are saying we want. The media is effect, and we are cause. It is just the law of attraction in action!

The news services and newspapers will change what they deliver to us when we emit a new signal and focus on what we want.

MICHAEL BERNARD BECKWITH

Learn to become still, and to take your attention away from what you don’t want, and all the emotional charge around it, and place the attention on what you wish to experience….

Energy flows where attention goes.

“Think truly, and thy thoughts shall the world’s famine feed.”

JAMES RAY

Are you beginning to see the phenomenal power you have in this world, just through your existence? As you focus on the good things you feel good, and you are bringing more good things to the world. At the same time, you are bringing more good things into your own life. When you feel good you uplift your life, and you uplift the world!

The law is perfection in operation.

LISA NICHOLS

It’s not your job to change the world, or the people around you. It’s your job to go with the flow inside of the Universe, and to celebrate it inside the world that exists.

You are the master of your life, and the Universe is answering your every command. Don’t become mesmerized by the pictures that have appeared if they are not what you want. Take responsibility for them, make light of them if you can, and let them go.

Then think new thoughts of what you want, feel them, and be grateful that it is done.

One of the questions I get asked all the time is if everyone uses The Secret, and they all treat the Universe like a catalogue, aren’t we going to run out of stuff? Won’t everyone just make a run for it and bust the hank?

MICHAEL BERNARD BECKWITH

What’s beautiful about the teaching of The Secret is that there’s more than enough to go around for everyone.

There is a lie that acts like a virus within the mind of humanity. And that lie is, “There’s not enough good to go around. There’s lack and there’s limitation and there’s just not enough.” And that lie has people living in fear, greed, stinginess. And those thoughts of fear, greed, stinginess, and lack become their experience. So the world has taken a nightmare pill.

The truth is that there’s more than enough good to go around.

There’s more than enough creative ideas. There’s more than enough power. There’s more than enough love. There’s more than enough joy. All of this begins to come through a mind that is aware of its own infinite nature.148 The Secret To think there is not enough is to look at the outside pictures and think that everything comes from the outside. When you do that, you will most surely see lack and limitation. You now know that nothing comes into existence from the outside, and that everything first comes from thinking and feeling it on the inside. Your mind is the creative power of all things. So how can there be any lack? It’s impossible. Your ability to think is unlimited, and so the things you can think into existence are unlimited. And so it is with everyone.

When you truly know this, you are thinking from a mind that is aware of its own infinite nature.

JAMES RAY

Every great teacher who has ever walked the planet has told you that life was meant to be abundant.

“The essence of this law is that you must think abundance; see abundance, feel abundance, believe abundance. Let no thought of limitation enter your mind.”

JOHN ASSARAF

And so just when we think that resources are dwindling, we find new resources that can achieve the same things.

The true story of a Belize oil team is an inspiring example of the power of the human mind to bring forth resources. The directorsThe Secret to the World 149 of Belize Natural Energy Limited were trained by the eminent Dr. Tony Quinn, who specializes in Humanistic Physiology training. With Dr. Quinn’s mind power training, the directors were confident that their mental picture of Belize being a successful oilproducing country would be achieved. They took a brave step forward to drill for oil in Spanish Lookout, and in one short year their dream and vision became a reality. Belize Natural Energy Limited discovered oil of the highest quality, in abundant flows where fifty other companies had failed to find any. Belize has become an oil-producing country because an extraordinary team of people believed in the unlimited power of their mind.

Nothing is limited—not resources or anything else. It is only limited in the human mind. When we open our minds to the unlimited creative power, we will call forth abundance and see and experience a whole new world.

DR. JOHN DEMARTINI

Even though we say we have lack, it’s because we don’t open up our vision and see all of what is around us.

DR, JOE VITALE

You know when people start to live from their heart and go for what they want, they don’t go for the same things. That’s the beauty of this. We don’t all want BMWs. We don’t oil want the same person. We don’t all want the same experiences. We don’t all want the same clothing. We don’t all want… (fill in the blank).150 The Secret

You are here on this glorious planet, endowed with this wonderful power, to create your life! There are no limits to what you can create for You, because your ability to think is unlimited! But you cannot create other people’s lives for them. You cannot think for them, and if you try to force your opinions on others you will only attract like forces to You. So let all others create the life they want.

MICHAEL BERNARD BECKWITH

There’s enough for everyone. If you believe it, if you can see it, if you act from it, it’ll show up for you. That’s the truth.

“If you have any lack, if you are prey to poverty or disease, it is because you do not believe ordo not understand the power that is yours. It is not a question of the Universal giving to you.

It offers everything to everyone—there is no partiality.”

The Universe offers all things to all people through the law of attraction. You have the ability to choose what you want to experience. Do you want there to be enough for you and for everyone? Then choose that and know, “There is abundance of all things.” “There is an unlimited supply.” “There is so much magnificence.” Each of us has the ability to tap into that unlimited invisible supply through our thoughts and feelings, and bring it into our experience. So choose for You, because you’re the only one who can.

LISA NICHOLS

Everything that you want—all the joy, love, abundance, prosperity, bliss— it’s there, ready for you to grab ahold of it. And you’ve got to get hungry for it. You’ve got to be intentional. And when you become intentional and on fire for what you want, the Universe will deliver every single thing that you ‘ve been wanting. Recognize the beautiful and wonderful things around you, and bless and praise them. And on the other side, the things that aren’t currently working the way you want them to work, don’t spend your energy faulting or complaining. Embrace everything that you want so you can get more of it.

Lisa’s wise words, to “praise and bless” the things around you, are worth their weight in gold. Praise and bless everything in your life! When you are praising or blessing you are on the highest frequency of love. In the Bible, the Hebrews used the act of blessing to bring forth health, wealth, and happiness. They knew the power of blessing. For many people the only time they have blessed someone was when they sneezed, and so they have not used one of the greatest powers to their full advantage. The dictionary defines blessing as “invoking divine favor and conferring well-being or prosperity,” so begin right now to invoke the power of blessing in your life, and bless everything and everyone. Likewise with praising, for when you are praising someone or something you are give, and as you emit that magnificent frequency, it will return to you a hundred-fold.

Praising and blessing dissolves all negativity, so praise and bless your enemies. If you curse your enemies, the curse will come back to harm you. If you praise and bless them you will dissolve all negativity and discord, and the love of the praising and blessings will return to you. As you praise and bless, you will feel yourself shift into a new frequency with the feedback of good feelings.

DR. DENIS WAITLEY

Most of the leaders in the past missed the great part of The Secret, which is to empower and share with others.

This is the best time to have ever been alive in history. It’s the first time we’ve ever had the power to gain knowledge at our fingertips.

With this knowledge you are becoming aware—of the truth of the world, and yourself. My greatest insights into The Secret on the subject of the world came from the teachings of Robert Collier, Prentice Mulford, Charles Haanel, and Michael Bernard Beckwith.

With that understanding came total freedom. I truly hope that you can come to the place of that same freedom. If you can, then through your existence and the power of your thoughts, you will bring the greatest good to this world and to the future of all humankind.• What you resist, you attract, because you are powerfully focused on it with emotion. To change anything, go within and emit a new signal with your thoughts and feelings.

You cannot help the world by focusing on the negative things. As you focus on the world’s negative events, you not only add to them, but you also bring more negative things into your own life.

Instead of focusing on the world’s problems, give your attention and energy to trust, love, abundance, education, and peace.

We will never run out of good things because there’s more than enough to go around for everyone. Life is meant to be abundant.

You have the ability to tap into the unlimited supply through your thoughts and feelings and bring it into your experience.

Praise and bless everything in the world, and you will dissolve negativity and discord and align yourself with the highest frequency—love.
