// you look very carefully when it conies to The Secret, and the power of our mind ami the power of our intention in our daily lives, it's all around us. All we have to do is open our eyes and look.

  You can sec the law of attraction cven/wlierc. You draw everything to yourself. The people, the job, the circumstances, the health, the wealth, the debt, the joy, the car that you drive, the community tiiat you re in. And you've drawn them all to you, like a magnet. What you think about you bring about. Your whole life is a manifestation of the thoughts that go on in your head.

  This is a Universe of inclusion, not exclusion. Nothing is excluded from the taw of attraction. Your life is a mirror of the dominant thoughts you think. All living things on this planet operate through the law of attraction. The difference with humans is that they have a mind that can discern. They can use their free will to choose their thoughts. They have the power to intentionally think and create their entire life with their mind.

  DR. FRED ALAN WOLF

  QUANTUM PHYSICIST, LECTURER, AND AWARD-WINNINCj AUTHOR

  I'm not talking to you from the point of view of wishful thinking or imaginary craziucss. I'm talking to you from a deeper, basic understanding.

  Quantum physics really begins to point to this discovery. It says that you can't have a Universe without mind entering into it, and that the mind is actually shaping the very thing that is being perceived.

  If you think about the analogy of being the most powerful transmission tower in the Universe, you will see the perfect correlation with Dr. Wolf's words. Your mind thinks thoughts and the pictures are broadcast back as your life experience. You not only create your life with your thoughts, but your thoughts add powerfully to the creation of the world, if you thought that you were insignificant and had no power in this world, think again. Your mind is actually shaping the world around you.

  The amazing work and discoveries of the quantum physicists over the last eighty years has brought us to a greater understanding of the unfathomable power of the human mind to create. Their work parallels the words of the world's great minds, including Carnegie, Emerson, Shakespeare, Bacon, Krishnamurti, and Buddha.

  If you don't understand the law that doesn't mean you should reject it. You may not understand electricity, and yet you enjoy the benefits of it. 1 don't know how it works. But I do know this: You can cook a man's dinner with electricity, and you can also cook the man!

  MICHAEL BERNARD BECKWITH

  Oftentimes when people begin to understand the Great Secret, they become frightened of all the negative thoughts that they have. They need to be aware that it has been scientifically proven that an affirmative thought is hundreds of times more powerful than a negative thought. That eliminates a degree of worry right there.

  It really does take many negative thoughts and persistent negative thinking to bring something negative into your lite. However, if you persist in thinking negative thoughts over a period of time, they null appear in your life. If you worry about having negative thoughts, you will attract more worrying about your negative thoughts, and multiply them at the same time. Decide right now that you are going to think only good thoughts. At the same time, proclaim to the Universe that all your good thoughts are powerful, and that any negative thoughts are weak.

  LISA NICHOLS

  Thank God that there's a time delay, that all of your thoughts don't come true instantly. We'd be in trouble if they did. The element of time delay serves you. It allows you to reassess, to think about what you want, and to make a new choice.

  All of your power to create your life is available right now, because right now is when you are thinking. If you have had some thoughts that will not be beneficial when they manifest, then right now you can change your thinking. You can erase your previous thoughts by

  replacing them with good thoughts. Time serves you because you can think new thoughts and emit a new frequency, uowl

  DR. JOE VITALE

  You want to become aumre of your thoughts and choose your thoughts carefully ami you want to have fun with this, because you are the masterpiece of your own life. You are the Michelangelo of your own life. The David you are sculpting is you.

  One way to master your mind is to learn to quiet your mind. Without exception, every teacher in this book uses meditation as a daily practice. It wasn't until 1 discovered The Secret that 1 realized how powerful meditation can be. Meditation quiets your mind, helps you control your thoughts, and revitalizes your body. The great news is that you don't have to set aside hours to meditate. Just three to ten minutes a day to begin with, can be incredibly powerful for gaining control over your thoughts.

  To become aware of your thoughts, you can also set the intention, "1 am the master of my thoughts." Say it often, meditate on it, and as you hold to that intention, by the law of attraction you must become that.

  You are now receiving the knowledge that will enable you to create the most magnificent version of You. The possibility of that version of you already exists on the frequency of "the most magnificent version of You." Decide what you want to be, do, and have, think the thoughts of it, emit the frequency, and your vision will become your life.

  • The Great Secret of Life is the law of attraction.

  • The law of attraction says like attracts like, so when you think a thought, you arc also attracting like thoughts to you.

  • Thoughts arc magnetic, and thoughts have a frequency. As you think thoughts, they arc sent out into the Universe, and they magnetically attract all like things that are on the same frequency. Even/thing sent out returns to the source—you.

  • You are like a human transmission tower, transmitting a frequency with your thoughts. If you want to change anything in your life, change the frequency by changing your thoughts.

  • Your current thoughts arc creating your future life. What you think about the most or focus on the most will appear as your life.

  • Your thought* become things.

  Michael Bernard Beckwith

  We live in a universe in which there are laws, just as there is a law of gravity. If you fall off a building it doesn't matter if you're a good person or a bad person, you're going to hit the ground.

  The law of attraction is a law of nature. It is as impartial and impersonal as the law of gravity is. It is precise, and it is exact.

  DR. JOE VITALE

  Everything that surrounds you right now in your life, including the things you're complaining about, you've attracted. Now I know at first blush that's going to be something that you hate to hear. You're going to immediately say, "I didn't attract the car accident. I didn't attract this particular client who gh>es me a hard time. I didn't particularly attract the debt." And I'm here to be

  a little bit in your face and to sny, yes 1/0/7 did iittnict it. This is one of the hardest concepts to get, hut once you've accepted it, it's life transforming.

  Often when people first hear this part of the Secret they recall events in history where masses of lives were lost, and they find it incomprehensible that so many people could have attracted themselves to the event. By the law of attraction, they had to be on the same frequency as the event. It doesn't necessarily mean they thought of that exact event, but the frequency of their thoughts matched the frequency of the event. If people believe they can be in the wrong place at the wrong time, and they have no control over outside circumstances, those thoughts of fear, separation, and powerlessness, if persistent, can attract them to being in the wrong place at the wrong time.

  You have a choice right now. Do you want to believe that it's just the luck of the draw and bad things can happen to you at any time? Do you want to believe that you can be in the wrong place at the wrong time? That you have no control over circumstances?

  Or do you want to believe and know that your life experience is in your hands and that only all good can come into your life because that is the way you think? You have a choice, and whatever you choose to think
will become your life experience.

  Nothing can come into your experience unless you summon it through persistent thoughts.

  Bob Doyle

  Most of us attract by default. We just think that u>e don't have any control over it. Our thoughts mid feelings are on autopilot, and so everything is brought to us by default.

  No one would ever deliberately attract anything unwanted. Without the knowledge of The Secret, it is easy to see how some unwanted things may have occurred in your life or other people's lives. It simply came from a lack of awareness of the great creative power of our thoughts.

  DR. JOE VlTALE

  Now if this is your first time to hear this, it inuy feel like, "Oh, 1 have to monitor my thoughts? This is going to be a lot of work." It will seem like that at first, but that's where the fun begins.

  The fun is that there are many shortcuts to The Secret, and you get to choose the shortcuts that work best for you. Read on, and you'll see how.

  MARCI SH1MOFF

  AUTHOR, INTERNATIONAL SPEAKER, AND TRANSFORMATIONAL LEADER

  it's impossible to monitor every thought we have. Researchers tell us that we have about sixty thousand thoughts a day. Can you imagine how exhausted you'd

  feel trying to control all sixty thousand of those thoughts? Fortunately there's an easier way, and it's our feelings. Our feelings let us know what we're thinking.

  The importance of feelings cannot be overstated. Your feelings are your greatest tool to help you create your life. Your thoughts are the primary cause of everything. Everything else you see and experience in this world is effect, and that includes your feelings. The cause is always your thoughts.

  BOB DOYLE

  / The emotions are an incredible gift that we have to let us know what we're thinking.

  Your feelings tell you very quickly what you're thinking. Think about when your feelings suddenly took a dive—maybe when you heard some bad news. That feeling in your stomach or solar plexus was instant. So your feelings are an immediate signal for you to know what you are thinking.

  You want to become aware of how you're feeling, and get in tune with how you're feeling, because it is the fastest way for you to know what you're thinking.

  those feelings that don't make you feel empoivercd. Those are the bad feelings.

  No one can tell you whether you are feeling good or bad, because you are the only one who knows how you're feeling at any time. If you're not sure how you're feeling, just ask yourself, "How am 1 feeling?" You can stop and ask this question often during the day, and as you do you will become more aware of how you're feeling.

  The most important thing for you to know is that it is impossible to feel bad and at the same time be having good thoughts. That would defy the law, because your thoughts cause your feelings. If you are feeling bad, it is because you are thinking thoughts that are making you feel bad.

  Your thoughts determine your frequency, and your feelings tell you immediately what frequency you are on. When you are feeling bad, you are on the frequency of drawing more bad things. The law of attraction must respond by broadcasting back to you more pictures of bad things and things that will make you feel bad.

  As you feel bad, and don't make any effort to change your thoughts and feel better, you are in effect saying, "Bring me more circumstances that will make me feel bad. Bring it on!"

  Lisa Nichols

  You have two sets of feelings: good feelings and bad feelings. And you know the difference between the two because one makes you feel good, and the other makes you feel bad. It's the depression, it's the anger, it's the resentment, it's the guilt. It's

  Lisa Nichols

  Theflipside to that is that you have good emotions and good feelings. You know when they come because they make you feel good. Excitement, joy, gratitude, love. Imagine if we could

  feel that way every day. When you celebrate the good feelings, you 'II draw to you more good feelings, and things that make you feel good.

  BOB DOYLE

  / It's really so simple. "What am I attracting right now?" Well, how do you feel? "I feel good." Well good, keep doing that.

  It is impossible to feel good and at the same time be having negative thoughts. If you are feeling good, it is because you are thinking good thoughts. You see, you can have whatever you want in your life, no limits. But there's one catch: You have to feel good. And when you think about it, isn't that all you ever want? The law is indeed perfect.

  MARCI SHIMOFF

  If you 're feeling good, then you 're creating a future that's on track with your desires. If you're feeling bad, you're creating a future that's off track with your desires. As you go about your day, the law of attraction is working in every second. Everything toe think and feel is creating our future. If you're worried or in fear, then you're bringing more of that into your life throughout the day.

  When you are feeling good, you must be thinking good thoughts. So you are on track and you are emitting a powerful frequency that is attracting back to you more good things that will make you feel good. Seize those moments when you are feeling good, and milk

  them. Be aware that as you are feeling good, you are powerfully attracting more good things to you.

  Let's go one step further. What if your feelings are actually communication from the Universe to let you know what you're thinking?

  Jack Can field

  Our feelings are a feedback mechanism to us about whether we're on track or not, whether we're on course or off course.

  Remember that your thoughts are the primary cause of everything. So when you think a sustained thought it is immediately sent out into the Universe. That thought magnetically attaches itself to the like frequency, and then within seconds sends the reading of that frequency back to you through your feelings. Put another way, your feelings are communication back to you from the Universe, telling you what frequency you are currently on. Your feelings are you r frequency feedback ineeha11 ism!

  When you are feeling good feelings, it is communication back from the Universe saying, "You are thinking good thoughts." Likewise, when you are feeling bad, you are receiving communication back from the Universe saying, "You are thinking bad thoughts."

  So when you are feeling bad it is communication from the Universe, and in effect it is saying, "Warning! Change thinking now. Negative frequency recording. Change frequency. Counting down to manifestation. Warning!"

  The next time you are feeling bad or feeling any negative emotion, listen to the signal you are receiving from the Universe. In that moment you are blocking your own good from coming to you because you are on a negative frequency. Change your thoughts and think about something good, and when the good feelings start to come you will knou* it was because You shifted yourself on to a new frequency, and the Universe has confirmed it with better feelings.

  BOB DOYLE

  / You're getting exactly what you're feeling about, not so much what you're thinking about.

  That's why people tend to spiral if they stub their toe getting out of bed. Their whole day goes like that. They have no clue that a simple shifting of their emotions can change their entire day—and life.

  If you start out having a good day and /ou're in that particular happy feeling, as long as you don't allow something to clrnnge your mood, you're going to continue to attract, by the law of attraction, more situations and people that sustain that happy feeling.

  We all have experienced those days or times when one thing after another goes wrong. The chain reaction began with one thought, whether you were aware of it or not. The one bad thought attracted more bad thoughts, the frequency locked in, and eventually something went wrong. Then as you reacted to that one thing going
