The Secret

Hi Cindy! As you know I am a huge fan of The Law of Attraction, and I am very grateful to Rhonda Byrne for producing The Secret, which is responsible for getting the concept out to the masses.

The Secret is based on Wallce Wattles book, The Science of Getting Rich, which was written over 100 years ago and published in 1910. Wattles wrote other books as well, but he taught that the Science of Getting Rich was to be our first study.

As an internet and network marketer, I have taken numerous courses, seminars, and bought numerous "systems". I believe Wattles was right. Had I immersed myself in this information, I would have saved thousands and made them instead! LOL

I have no regrets though because I understand that all my previous experiences were required to get me where I am today. In fact, if I had been given "The Secret" those years ago, I may not have embraced it as I have today, and for that I am truly grateful!

Check out my blog article I posted here today for more of my thoughts on the LOA as it pertains to giving children an "edge".

Another book written about the same time as Wattle's is Charles Haanel's MasterKey System. It covers much the same sort of material as Wattles and was orignally produced as a 24 part series. Haanel's book was considered so controversial it was banned by some branches of the Christian Church for about 80 years. There are a number of places in the net where you can get hold of it. If you want to access it for free go to www.the-ultimate-success-site.com and follow the links from the index page.

The other things I would say about The Law of Attraction is that it has to be just part of your mindset to work most effectively. Many people who I have spoken to have seen it more as something you add to your existing approach to life, almost like the shopping list you take with you when you go to the mall. Rather, from where I sit, LOA is only part of a much larger world view that takes in a whole range of subjects like who you understanding God to be (assuming you accept the concept of a higher entity) how you connect with other people and how you understand your purpose in lfe.

I am not sure the secret is just based on the book by Wattles. I think Wattles book the Science of getting rich was based on the secret. The secret is much older than that and includes much more than wealth.

Hi Steph,

Maybe there's another "Secret", but the one we are speaking of, "The Secret" movie was produced by Rhonda Byrne and came out on the internet and DVD in March 2006. The book, "The Science of Gettig Rich" was written by Wallace Wattles and published in 1910.

Rhonda Byrne has clearly stated that her work was based upon Wattles writings and Charles Haanell's MasterKey System.

For those of you that really related to the 'Secret' I would like to share another avenue that after reading now myself, I can clearly understand why my friends were so keen for me to have it. (By the way this is not a plug for affiliate deal here). The teachings of Abraham through Esther - Hicks publications is absolutely amazing! The video tapes and audio recordings of the various workshops Esther and Jerry Hicks do across America are incredible. Their site is www.abraham-hicks.com should you ever like to peruse. A friend sent me Ask and it is given! and I have now just finished, The Astonishing Power of Emotions...and you know what, makes a lot of sense! Quite frankly, and its only my opinion, but now I understand why Esther-Abraham, didn't really want to go down the 'Secret' path. See what you think? Peace....

The concept behind "The Secret" is much older than Wattles. Even in the movie, Bob Proctor tells you that "The Secret" was hidden. Remember the part near the beginning of the movie where the young man buried a tablet? It's called The Emerald Tablet of Hermes.

The actual secret that is contained in the tablet has been around as long as man has existed! It is suppose to be shared with everyone on the planet, but most people are not accepting the information because of religious beliefs.
