About the Author:

Rhonda Byrne is an Australian writer and she is basically a television writer and producer. Apart from “The Secret” , “The magic” is one more best selling book.

The content in brief:

Let me start with an important quote and ten life changing rules from THE SECRET, I wanted to insist these rules as I strongly believe and follow few of them.

Divine mind is the one and only reality.

Charles Fillmore

  1. Your reaction to what happens in your life dictates what happens next.
  2. Negative thoughts are not true.
  3. Letting go allows for manifestation.
  4. If you are suffering or struggling at any time, it’s because you are believing a story that is not true.
  5. Don’t be in conflict with anyone or anything.
  6. Nothing stays the same- Tomorrow things will be different.
  7. Don’t resist negative emotions.
  8. The fewer opinions you have ,the fewer conclusions you come to, and the fewer fixed ideas you hold to. The more bliss and joy will be yours.
  9. Resistance causes suffering. Allowance eliminates suffering.
  10. Be aware, and be here now.

Rhonda, invested a lot of time and efforts to investigate “The Secret”, she interviewed more than 55 successful people across the world and narrated the book in a very nice format with real incidents. She dedicated the book to the reader to bring positive change. Consequently, what is The Secret? It is the law of attraction and the way it works. The law of attraction is a belief which will bring the change in your life. If the belief is positive you would see a positive change, negative will bring a negative change. Though there is no scientific proofs about it, my version is no one mastered the human brain so far. Consequently, the rest to your faith.

If possible read some books on quantum physics to get more clarity on “The law of attraction”. Per quantum physics, energy creates the world, What is energy then? It can never be created and destroyed. Who created the universe? God, well, describe god. Always was and always has been, never can be created or destroyed.

Let me tell my personal experience here: My kids asked me one day that why do we worship stones, trees, and sculptures in villages? I said, unknowingly, when many people are worshiping a stone or a tree, some atomic energy gets released, so why can’t we  treat them as God?

The book has eleven chapters, each chapter reiterates one core concept. Everything comes from the universe, and it is delivered to you through people, circumstances, and event, by the law of attraction. Your good inner most thoughts will send the frequency through the feelings, and they bring back the like frequency from the universe. Essentially, fill your mind with good thoughts, your life will change. To me, there are important chapters, 1. The secret to money 2. The secret to relationship 3. The secret to health 4. The secret to you. I would suggest to read the fourth one twice.

Eventually, I can’t and should not cover all the topics of the book however, let me give one real time and interesting example. You can read few more, and one from the chapter “The secret to relationships” about romance.

From the chapter “The secret to health” 

Morris Goodman was in a airplane crash on 1981, he got completely paralyzed. His spinal cord was crushed and broke the first and second cervical vertebrae, he couldn’t eat or drink. All he could do was blinking eyes. Doctors said that he is a toy for rest of his life. the best example of the law of attraction, he set a goal to walk out of the hospital and he did. What is the magic? His strong belief was heard by the universe.

Highlights from the book:

  1. Disease is held in the body by thought, by observation of the illness, and by the attention given to the illness. If you are feeling a little unwell, don’t talk about it – Unless you want more of it. If you listen to people talk about their illness, you add energy to their illness. Instead, change the conversation to things, and give powerful thoughts to seeing those people in health. (I would suggest apply it to your elders at home).
  2. The more you use the power within you, the more power you will draw through you.
  3. Praise and bless everything in the world, and you will dissolve negativity and discord and align yourself with the highest frequency – Love.
  4. Treat yourself with love and respect, and you will attract people who show you love and respect.
  5. Give money in order to bring more of it into your life. When you are generous with money and feel good about sharing it, you are saying, “I have plenty”.
  6. Gratitude is a powerful process for shifting your energy and bringing more of what you want into your life. Be grateful for what you already have, and you will attract more good things.
  7. The law of attraction is a law of nature. It is as impartial as the law of gravity.

Enjoy reading,

Yours,
