The Secret Explained

A number of years ago, an incredible revelation was revealed when Rhonda Byrne published her book called "The Secret," which was also made into a docu-movie of the same name.

The revelation was that we all have the power within ourselves to attract the things we want in life, using what she referred to as the "Law of Attraction" and that's basically what the big secret was.

A lot of people upon reading the book were excited and were anxious to start making use of this fascinating concept to improve their lives in a number of ways.

Indeed, the presenters in the movie who also contributed much to the book itself, were all extremely keen advocates of this power.

I want to look a little more closely at this whole concept and explain how I see it from my own perspective.

What is The Secret?

As I already mentioned, the secret is really the Law of Attraction, which is an unseen force that causes energy fields to attract like energy fields and is prevalent in nature.

If that sounds confusing, don't worry. I'll do my best to explain it in everyday terms.

When you start getting into it, this concept is actually a lot easier to understand than it looks at first.

The book itself (and the movie) goes to great lengths to make it as easily understandable as possible for as many people as possible.

It's presenters and contributors already knew how this all works for a long time, but there had never been any concerted effort to try and tie them all in together on a single project. This book did exactly that!

We have to start somewhere and so we'll start by talking about the most basic thing there is.

That thing is energy, which is the fundamental essence of everything.

Energy

Everything is energy, from the smallest molecule of water to whole galaxies floating around in the universe.

To get a picture in your mind, think of the model of the atom.

Atoms are (in basic terms) made up of a nucleus of protons and neutrons and a number of tiny particles called electrons that orbit the nucleus.

The orbital movement of the electrons create an energy field that vibrates at a certain frequency depending on the nature of the atom itself.

So a carbon atom vibrates at a different frequency to a helium atom because one has more electrons circling its nucleus.

An atom can vibrate at different frequencies if another energy field is brought into its vicinity, such as introducing heat (which is actually energy in a waveform, like light or radio waves, for example).

You already know how this works when you look at the example of water and you apply heat, it eventually boils and changes from a liquid to a gas (steam).

So that's the general principle here. An energy field in one form can influence the form and the vibrational frequency of another energy field.

Another form of energy is thought.

Thought Energy

Thought can be created, changed and directed using our mind and every single person has this power, whether they know it or not!

Our thoughts have a frequency that can also be altered, depending on what we're feeling. And what we feel can also be influenced strongly by what we think about!

Happy Energy

So, for example, if we're thinking about a time when we were really happy, we also experience that happy feeling.

On the flip side, if we're thinking about something that makes us angry, we feel that anger welling up inside us!

This is powerful energy in itself, but the real "secret" part of all this is that whatever frequency our thoughts are vibrating on, they will attract other energy forms that are vibrating on the same frequency.

The Law of Attraction

This is the Law of Attraction at work and it basically means that, for example if we are thinking about having a lot of money, we are sending that thought wave out to the universe and what comes back are circumstances that are vibrating on the same frequency.

The circumstances that will help us to be in possession of that money will surround us and as long as we take whatever action is necessary to make use of those circumstances, the money will follow.

That's not to say all we have to do is sit on a chair and dream about having a fat stack of cash in our hands and it will magically appear. Oh no, it doesn't work like that!

If a person turns up that has the resources to produce a profitable product from an idea that we have, then the action we must take is to get talking to that person and strike up a deal. After a time, the product may sell well and you both make a nice stack of cash from the collaboration.

That's how the Law of Attraction works!

Summary

So to sum up, "the secret" in this case is nothing other than the "Law of Attraction" in action in our lives.
