The Secret

How Thoughts Become Things

Garth Beyer

Have you ever thought of a song you wanted to listen to and then you turned on the radio or Pandora and the song was on? It’s an example of the incredible power your mind has on the universe.

Whatever the mind can conceive and believe, it can achieve.

But let’s put this in prospective.

Yes, as human beings with brains, we are powerful. We may not have complete control over our future, but we have a lot of control, especially with our thoughts. Have you realized though, that the song you wanted to listen to, is a song that would be played on that station regardless if you thought of it or not?

The song wasn’t playing by only chance or because of what you believe, becomes. You would never hear a heavy Metallica song – no matter how much you thought about it – if you only ever had on an old country radio station.

It’s true that we have control of our thoughts and our thoughts have a certain degree of control on what is created in our life. Let’s apply this to something beside music.

It is extremely unlikely that you will become an artist if you never put yourself in the position of an artist, no matter how much you think about it. Taking this even further, you won’t become a famous artist – that you imagine daily being – if all you ever do is paint and stick your work in the closet. The possibility of someone from the art museum ending up in your closet is pretty low.

We can think about what we want as much as we want, we can visualize, we can imagine the life we want. We can do all of that. But none of it will exist unless we step in the box that makes what we want, able to occur.

Have a song you want to listen to? Put on a radio station that is likely to play it.

Want to become an artist? Put yourself (and your work!) where people can see it.

Want anything? Go to where you can be handed it.

Garth’s Third Law Of Emotion

Garth Beyer

You’re parents just got into a divorce now you are torn between who to live with, all of your role models that helped you get through the hard times went off into the army or moved away, your friends have excluded you from their group, your sibling that you are closest too has gotten far into drugs and alcohol, and your grandpa who you were really close to has recently passed away. In essence, you feel like you no longer have a family.

Each and every one of us goes through extremely harsh points in our lives where we feel like we have absolutely no one.

Anger.. guilt.. sorrow… nothing can compare to the feeling of loneliness.

Whether you notice it or not, we all eventually come out of the slum, and things get better bit by bit. Have you ever thought of how it all started going downhill though?

Some days we feel like one bad thing happens after another, and after each bad thing that occurs, we feel worse and worse, as if the world is dissolving around us. These occurrences affect our thinking. We begin thinking more and more negatively. If you are feeling down, you don think positively at all, you dwell further in your emotions and the unfortunate circumstances that have occurred.

I want to let you in on a secret, the one way to get through all life throws at you, the secret… Stay Positive. Easier said than done huh?

If you are reading this, you likely know me well or understand that I am a very optimistic person. But even a happy outgoing person can find it nearly impossible to turn some negative circumstances into positive ones.

The list I gave you at the beginning of this discussion, of the divorce, the losing of a close one to death, and having your friends move away or exclude you – these are all personal experiences that have happened to me.

How can one person make it through all of those situations happening to them in such a short amount of time? With practice, I’ve found there to be two different ways to not just make it through, but to also turn life around.

Now, I think we have all tricked ourselves or lied to ourselves at one point, whether it be by telling ourselves “I can do it” to get rid of some sort of fear, or lying to yourself that you aren’t still in love with your ex, so you can move on. The idea I have come to find to make it through such hard times is this.

First way: Deceive yourself, but do it in a positive way. To get rid of the sorrow that losing your friends has brought to you, start thinking about making new friends, and how much fun it will be hanging out with them.

You need to aim for a feeling. The feeling you want to have your friends make you feel, the feeling of company, of sharing, of fun. Soon enough you will see things starting to shape up. Maybe your old friends have invited you to go to the mall or you met a new friend. 

We noted before that one bad thing happens after another. It is the same for the good things in life if you can just lean your feelings in that positive direction.

Now the harder of the two ways to start turning your life back around is to find something good in every bad, and this is possible.

Coming to a close, I want you to think of something you disliked about today so far, something that set your temper off, or hurt you emotionally, something you would have done differently. It can be the sort of thing from having a fight with your dad, or your internet being out. So go ahead and think of something…

The Challenge: I want you to use the harder of the two ways to become more positive and in a better mood by figuring out one optimistic thing that came out of the one unfortunate thing so far today.

Maybe your thought is your dad is now going to surprise you with an apology gift, or because your internet was off you so you took a walk outside and ran into your soul mate. (Hey, it could happen)

Newton has said that for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction, I would employ you to have the idea that, for every action of negative thought there is an opposite, if not greater reaction.

So remember, for every negative thing in life, there will always be at least one positive thing to be thought of about it.. it’s up to you.

The Seven Step Technique To Getting Everything You Want, Literally.

Garth Beyer

If you can, I’d love to read any evidence you may have that disclaims the statement that what you focus on expands. Of course, there are various ways to say it: Where your attention goes, energy flows. What you think, so shall it be. However you say it, this is the key to acquiring absolutely anything you want, but too many people only get half of the technique. They believe that by only focusing on something that they will attract it. Contrary to belief, to truly follow through with the technique to get everything you want you have to think about what you want in thousands of different ways. Simply focusing on it in one way will not get you what you desire. The preceding actions are the seven steps you can take to focus in on what you want in different ways. We will use a new Mac computer for the example.

“action is just another way to focus on what you want”

1. Research

Don’t only think about the item you want, get specific with it! What details do you want?  How would you describe the item to someone who specializes in creating  it? How do you want it? Research the type of Mac you want, gain knowledge of the computers spec’s, operation system, software, graphics card, screen dimensions, amount of RAM, what battery it uses, how much the charging device is, what extras can you buy for it… and on and on and on.

2. Visualize

Let go of that image you have of the Mac at the Apple store. Why visualize it being there? You don’t want it there! You want it on your lap right? Or on your desk? Do you have a desk for it? To use the step of visualization, you have to picture having the item in a 24 hour period. Before going to sleep, visualize in the morning where that Mac is going to be when you wake up, when will you get on it, when are you going to bring it in to the living room, how are you going to take it to work, who else will use it throughout the day, what do you need it for, what outlet will you use to charge it? Visualize, frame by frame, where and how the Mac is going to be used. Speak and act as if you already have what you want.

3. Materialize

Also known as the action step. There are two factors in the materializing step. The first is going to the Apple store and getting your hands on the Mac. Get to know it, treat it to a date, type on those keys like you are trying to serenade it. This will also help with step two since you can visualize the real thing, not just a picture of it. The second factor of materialization is to begin taking action on what you can do to get the Mac. Do you need to work over time? Do you have money saved? This is not only when you need to ask how you are going to get the Mac, but to actually take the action steps to materialize it.

4. Ask questions

This is likely the easiest step. Begin going into the Apple store and asking about the Mac. Ask what others think about it. Surround yourself with questions and answers about what you desire.

5. Communicate

Talk with your loved ones and announce your desire. Share with everyone you meet that you will soon be getting a Mac. You will be surprised, that no matter what item it is you want, there will always be someone who has something to talk to you about it. They say actions speak louder than words, but actions still mean little without words to back them up. A person who goes and buys the Mac may be viewed as an impulse consumer, one that doesn’t think things through. A person who talks about going to buy a Mac and how they have asked questions about it, took action steps, visualized it, and researched it can only be envied and respected.

6. Plan

This step is simply put in for you to get excited. After attaining the first 5 steps, the 7th follows instinctively. But it’s worth shaking things up and creating for yourself the most happiness possible. Get yourself worked up that you will go get your Mac next Saturday at 6:30pm with your best friend. Hold out on yourself for a couple days to get yourself truly worked up and ecstatic about acquiring the Mac.

7.  Attain

Most often, you will not have to take this step. It takes itself for you because you have already taken every thought and action possible to get yourself a Mac.

Now that you got your Mac, what’s next? 1981 Corvette T-Top? That lake-view home you noticed last week? There is nothing too big or too small that this 7 step process of manifesting can’t give you. Possibilities are endless

Buddha for the Optimist

Garth Beyer

Buddha with $1,000,000 shredded dollars inside. -Toronto

We read and are told endlessly to identify ourselves with our thoughts. We are persuaded to lay down our minds at the mercy of their own power. Walking with the dialogue of our minds. Buddha said “All that we are is a result of what we have thought”. You should well know that he was not the only, Earl Nightingale wrote about it in The Strangest Secret, W. Clement Stone lived it in his quote “Whatever the mind can conceive, it can achieve”, Bob Proctor and Mike Dooley speak endlessly about The Secret and quite frankly, anyone who has read about someone who achieved some form of greatness, has read about the law of attraction in one form or another.

Fortunately, or unfortunately, I learned about the secret -the power of the mind- as a young child. You would think that learning this power at an early age would destine me for very early greatness. However, it created the opposite. I became afraid of my thoughts and I am sure I directed a lot of negative events in my life to occur because once I thought them, I felt it was out of my control. And so it was.

One day, I learned that you would have to think of a negative thought one million times in order for it to have the same power in the world as thinking the opposite, the positive thought, once. From then on, for every negative thought, I would think the positive form 3-5 times for good measure. However, this was not good enough for me and isn’t for many others who know the power of their thoughts. The miracle of our lives would be to never have a single negative thought each day.  Perhaps when enough people learn and understand the secret, we may be able to attain this sort of utopia. But for now the best those who know the secret potential of the mind can do is to teach those who are ignorant of the fact or surrounded by too much negativity to recognize their strength.

Those who feel they cannot control their minds, or are surrounded by negativity, – you CAN escape. While the “thoughts become things” philosophy works for the optimistic, I know it does not work for all, for you… but it will. The following is the most simple and honest technique you can use to understand that although your mind creates the world around you, you create what is in your mind and YOU are the most beautiful, enlightened and powerful person.

The only way to start living the life of the successful, of the strong, of the magical is to remember that while your destiny mirrors your thoughts, YOU are the force that moves through your thoughts, your mind, your body, your spirit, you entity. No matter the thoughts going on in your mind, positive, negative or none at all, you are always connected with your Self and there is no greater or most positive force then that. When you find yourself losing the reigns of your thoughts, when you find the world around you crumbling and your mind falling into a slump, remember that your thoughts originate from your Self, and your Self is pretty damn incredible.

 

Stay Positive and Your Self
