The Secret Gratitude Book: Volume 8 (The Secret Library)

Product Information

Time is just an illusion. Einstein told us that. If this is the first time you have heard it, you may find it a hard concept to get your head around, because you see everything happening - one thing after the other. What quantum physicists and Einstein tell us is that everything is happening simultaneously. If you can understand that there is no time, and accept that concept, then you will see that whatever you want in the future already exists. If everything is happening at the one time, then the parallel version of you with what you want already exists! This book has changed the way I view the world. I like to re-read The Secret at least once a year. I own the book, audio book, and film. I will openly admit that there are some ideas, phrases and quotes that cause me to laugh out loud, but the overall message of the book is one of optimism, gratitude, love and power. The sequel, The Power is likewise amazing. Think of a car driving through the night. The headlights only go a hundred or two hundred feet forward, and you can make it all the way from California to New York driving through the dark, because all you have to see is the next two hundred feet. And that's how life tends to unfold before us. If we just trust that the next two hundred feet will unfold after that, and the next two hundred feet will unfold after that, your life will keep unfolding. And it will eventually get you to the destination of whatever it is you truly want, because you want it.

Personally, I agree with the power of a positive thought and meditation which help with stress management and improve one's health, even though 'agree' may not be the right term since it's not a matter of belief.¹²³⁴​There is no such thing as a hopeless situation. Every single circumstances of your life can change! ”– Rhonda Byrne, The Secret Your life right now is a reflection of your past thoughts. That includes all the great things, and all the things you consider not so great. Since you attract to you what you think about most, it is easy to see what your dominant thoughts have been on every subject of your life, because that is what you have experienced. Until now!”– Rhonda Byrne, The Secret Don't get me wrong, The Secret has some valid points. You should envision your dreams. You should think about your goals constantly and imagine what you would do if you ever achieved them. But you should also think about and envision the steps you need to take to get there. Then you should act. Do something! The world is not just going to hand you what you want.

Whoever has gratitude will be given more, and he or she will have an abundance. Whoever does not have gratitude, even what he or she has will be taken from him or her.”– Rhonda Byrne, The Secret The only reason why people do not have what they want is because they are thinking more about what they don’t want than what they do want.”– Rhonda Byrne, The Secret What I have found with gratitude, when I first discovered The Secret, what I found with gratitude was that my life changed so fast from practising gratitude.

The Secret Gratitude Book by Rhonda Byrne – eBook Details Nothing can come into your experience unless you summon it thought persistent thoughts.” Damn, those Jews were pretty careless before WW2, weren't they?So gratitude helps you go from your mind into your heart and you can actually feel it in your body. So what I would suggest is that you really get to know your body. So, as you’re doing gratitude, I would do it until you feel relief, or you feel a softening in your heart. I used to do it until I had tears in my eyes. And so sometimes it would be 5… it would only take 5 things to be grateful for and I would have a complete meltdown. And then sometimes it would take 25 so it just depends but I know that when… I knew that when I had tears in my eyes, when I felt my heart absolutely melt, and you really feel it and you’ll know what I mean when you do this… then you know you’ve changed your frequency. And your day ahead is going to be completely different from what it would’ve been. So this is the incredible thing about gratitude. It’s so amazing and it’s the reason why it’s one of the powerful processes in The Secret and I have never stopped using it. If something goes wrong in my life, I immediately start doing gratitude. 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. Things that are alike attract! That’s what the book says and that if our thoughts have the right frequency then they will attract the things we want and the authors try to say that is a scientific law. Well, magnets with the same charge repulse so STFU! The second thing that made me roll my eyes was when they gave us an example of weight! The book claims that there are no such thing as diet effect, it claims that there are “Fat thoughts” and that fat people keep attracting weight. That’s why there are some people who eat a lot and do not gain weight, they don’t have those fat thoughts!!! Wow, so what I have learned in medicine school about metabolism and different kinds of fat is all bullshit? Okay, okay, I will go with the flow. The book mentions that you can’t attract a thing to another person but yourself, how are there “Fat babies” with hypothyroidism for example! Did they attract these thoughts with their underdeveloped brain or did their mothers do so? Oh they can’t do that, sorry!! This author claims that she found the secret of life, happiness, health and wealth and she is very generous as to share it with us through this book! The book talks about the law of attraction and how our thoughts govern everything that we do! I am not against the law of attraction or metaphysics and if you believe in them, then I am totally cool with that. I am more of a scientific person and I know that science can not explain everything. I do believe in metaphysics and spiritual things sometimes too. That a man can change himself....and master his own destiny is the conclusion of every mind who is wide-awake to the power of right thought.

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.”– Rhonda Byrne, The Secret The worldwide bestselling phenomenon that has helped millions tap the power of the law that governs all our lives to create—intentionally and effortlessly—a joyful life. By all means, I'm all pro positive thinking. I'll go as far as to say that: yes, negative thinking gets you nowhere and that positive thoughts healthier for you - the glass is half full and all that.... BUT..... Jeez Luise! This book is just up there next to Paulo Coelho's The Alchemist: worst self-help fantasy BS ever written.

Everything that surrounds you right now in your life, including the things you're complaining about, you've attracted"... You have the power to change anything, because you are the one who chooses your thoughts and you are the one who feels your feelings.”– Rhonda Byrne, The Secret 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.”– Rhonda Byrne, The Secret I read The Secret an unprecedented three times in 2020. During a global pandemic, I found myself stressed due to uncertainty. In 2021, I saw the connections to the newest installment: The Greatest Secret
