On the Movie "The Secret"

by Carol Nicholson

Many of you may by now have heard about the sensational mini movie sweeping the country called, “The Secret”. This spiritually based video is catching on like wildfire. It is well done and presented with informative interviews and sometimes poignant scenes how to overcome adversity and attract the good and what you want into your life. These are concepts have been around for years. They are not new. And, I suspect the little book found by the woman narrating in the beginning, was “How Man Thinketh” by James Allen who was born in 1864 in England and who wrote many other lesser known books before an early death.

Ah, but back to "The Secret". I first began my spiritual journey as a very young woman, ah hem! over forty years ago with a book about Edgar Cayce which eventually led to “How Man Thinketh” by James Allen. And, I have worked diligently for years to attempt to change my thinking around and to create the life I always wanted. For a long time there didn’t seem to be much headway in my life until I had an epiphany about my own little secret. As a hypnotherapist as well as being a psychic who has worked with hundreds of people on personal issues and uncovering their past lives, it all makes sense.

Here’s a little secret behind the secret. Your subconscious mind is a powerful part of you. It is that sleeping part which directs your everyday life and your dreams. The subconscious is the storehouse for all that you have learned and experienced in past lives through to your present lifetime. It helps you identify colors, drive a car, read, and just about anything that you have done over and over without having to think about it. The subconscious doesn’t filter the “spam” which comes into your mind. It just records it. It’s neither good nor bad. It just is.

In order for you to truly send out those good attraction vibe thought forms, you need to go deep into your subconscious mind and clear out all the debris which could be countermanding your conscious wishes and thoughts. You might be thinking, “That’s easy for you, you are a hypnotherapist and psychic”. Well, here’s the good news. You don’t have to be hypnotized to do this. What you do need to do is to quiet your mind, and start hearing the messages you truly send yourself from the subconscious…the message behind the message…the voice behind the voice. With focus and desire, you will start hearing the true messages you are sending yourself from your subconscious.

For example:

Do you want to get a better job? "The Secret" proposes that you need to visualize that better job in your mind and feel in your heart that it will happen. That’s true. But, there is one more important step. Listen to what your real voice inside is telling you. Is it actually saying, "you’ll never get that job, you aren’t good enough". Or, “nothing has worked out so far so why should this be different?” See what I mean? That little voice inside is what actually creates your reality. So, no matter how often you make affirmations and try try try to change your thinking, there may be resistance from your subconscious mind.

Once you are aware of this undermining voice, it can be changed. It will take some work, yes, and sometimes it may be painful to relive old memories which have caused this thinking which needs to be cleared, but, if you truly want to manifest the life you deserve by Divine Right, it’s not only vital, but mandatory. Watch your life begin to turn around within days. Mine did!
