The Secret – A Lifechanger?

by intheknow on July 5, 2010

So, hearing about the movie The Secret a few years back I(Mr Emanuel Kingson) was of course sceptical being the distrustful person I was.

I’d never heard about LOA or The Law Of Attraction before but it sounded a bit mumbo-jumbo like to me.

One day, a week or so after hearing about the movie, I had an impulse to watch The Secret so I did. I thought it looked very cheesy to say the least but after watching the whole thing through somehow I felt a bit energized and I thought to myself – ”Well, it would be very cool if this was all true but in all likelihood it’s not.”

I didn’t really pay it much more thought for a few weeks but suddenly I had an impulse to watch the movie again so I watched it a second time and bam. Something really clicked this time. The Golden Flow.

I could now see the connection between LOA and everything that had happened in my life. I had thought about stuff intensely, pictured myself in situations I wanted to be in, and ended up having what I wanted and being where I wanted. There just seemed to be at least some truth to The Law Of Attraction and The Secret.

At this point in my personal and spiritual evolution I had never heard or read anything about the ego. At least not in the sense that Eckhart Tolle and other people in the same genre talk about it so ”getting” what ”I wanted” without effort seemed like the best idea I’d heard.

Of all the people speaking in The Secret I liked Esther Hicks the most. A woman claiming to channel a collective consciousness named Abraham. So I started reading and watching everything I could find about LOA, The Secret and Abraham. I also started putting LOA to the test everyday by focusing on something and picturing things and situations in my head and then waiting for those things and situations to show up in ”real life”.

My results where actually quite amazing with more than a few very interesting experiences so I thought I had proof for myself that LOA was actually for real. And my ego really needed proof to believe in anything wholeheartedly.

Since watching The Secret I’ve read a lot in the spiritual genre and experienced quite a bit of change in myself so I look at it as a kind of milestone in my life whether the law of attraction is real or not.

Speaking of milestones I don’t really belive there are any single independent situations occurring. Meaning that everything is connected and you can trace everything back to the beginning of time. For example:

No earth – No humans.

No humans – No movies

No movies – No The Secret

Even though this example is extremely simplified, almost ridiculous cutting out so many circumstances for me to ever hear of The Secret, it illustrates how I view everything that happens.

People always seem to pick out an arbitrary point in time and say that ”something”(some usually quite recent occurrence or action taken by someone) caused ”something else” to happen when in fact anything anywhere in time leading up to that point could be chosen as a cause for whatever is happening now.

At this point I think there’s definitely something to the LOA-concept. Not exactly sure what though and I see at least two possibilities.

One is that the LOA-theory is correct and the path simplified is: Visualize something and it will come into your life.

That would mean that you are actually in some ”control” of what will happens in your life.

Or it could be that whatever is coming into your life is already predetermined and you’ve somehow opened yourself up enough to receive small hints in advance thru thought and thereby you could actually think that you first had the thought and then something happened but in reality you got the thought because it was about to happen.

I’m not sure what I believe in this matter and I think it might not be that important either.

Something I think is important to become a happier person is how you deal with the now whoever created it and I’ve come to some pretty interesting insights on how to do just that and I will write about that in detail later on.

I think that what this movie did to me and probably for many others is quite genius whatever the reasons this movie was made. It tells the ego in you that it can have all material things it ever wanted without effort and at the same time leads you to a path of spirituality and further down the road a weakened ego.

At least that’s what happened to me.

by intheknow on January 3, 2010

Stress is a serious and unfortunately very common problem of modern people and there are many various methods how it can be treated. However, not all methods all always completely safe, or without side effects. Because of that, it is wise to consider trying out some remedies that mother nature has given us, before we try some of the artificial medications and products that can sometimes cause more problems than they resolve. You can buy herbs, or even better, you can go out pick your own herbs, enjoying the nature at the same time. If you find the latter suggestion interesting, below you can find some basic, but useful information regarding searching medicinal herbs good for healing stress.

One of the most known herbs that can help reduce stress and problems that come along with it, is Valeriana officinalis, also known just as valerian. Valerian is a very important and well known medicinal plant, that can grow more than one meter in height. It is a hardy perennial plant, that usually has pink or white flowers. The flowers are in bloom in the northern hemisphere usually from June to September. It is native to Europe and some parts of Asia, but can also be found in North America, soon after the medicinal properties of this plant became well known. It mostly likes shady and more humid areas. Edges of forrests are usually good places to look for this plant. The effectiveness of valerian has been scientifically proven and is one of the most used natural remedies for stress and insomnia as well.

There is another herb well known for treating stress, called Melissa officinalis, also known as lemon balm. It usually grows between 30 and 70 centimeters in height, and usually has a relatively branched form. It has white to yellow flowers. It is native to eastern mediterranean area, but can also be found in other places as well. This medicinal herb usually flowers in the late summer, but the leaves (that have the most active substances), should be picked before the flowering starts. It likes shady places, and ofter grows along fences and pathways. It’s property to calm down stressful and nervous people is the most important feature of this herb. Tea can be prepared by using only dried leaves of this plant, or even better, a herbal mixture of valerian root and lemon balm leaves can be prepared, to make an even more effective herbal remedy.
