History of the Secret
A great secret has been known to few men and women throughout the ages of recorded history. People have bought and sold this secret for vast sums of money, buried it, stolen it, lost it . Recently a hit movie ‘the Secret’ had been released based on this, but these principles were used by a select group of men and women since the beginning of recorded history.
These people have been the greatest men and women till date. A few examples are Aristotle, Vivekananda, Shakespeare, Beethoven, Helen Keller, Thomas Edison, Albert Einstein, Mother Teresa, John Lennon and W.Clement Stone .
The secret originates from the Hindu theory of the Monistic Universe that everything originates from One Source, the theory that One is All, and that All is One and One substance manifests itself as all substances in the nature and cosmos. This theory has been gradually weaving its way into western thought for the last 300 years.
This secret gives an individual ANYTHING he or she desires with no limitations regardless of past experience. Throughout the ages this knowledge was kept in the hands of a few who p***ed it on to a few. That is why we see even today how 1 percent of the population earns 96 percent of all the money that is being earned.
We have reached an unprecedented era in human history where the world is becoming One global village. We are we are all essentially the same, regardless of our culture, caste, colour or creed, we feel exactly the same when we laugh or cry, angry or sad, we have exactly the same biological reactions, albeit with our unique personality traits.
A man named Wallace D.Wattles discovered the Secret in Chicago, USA in 1896 and found out exactly why he had been living in poverty for all his life and he began to design his life the way he wanted not to the mercy or caprice of any external circumstance. He created everything he had ever wanted his whole life. He wrote the secret in his own words in a “little green book”
What a fascinating thought isn’t it, the fact that you can design and control you lives to anything you choose, not subject to caprice or circumstances, not merely what we think we are capable of, but something much bigger, our fantasies!(because you have the potential within you that is greater than anything you can ever imagine). That is true freedom.
We can follow the purpose that’s buried deep within us and do what we truly love to do, effortlessly and without worry and struggle. It takes the same amount of energy to succeed at this or fail. Follow the ancient wisdom “Know Thyself”.
Little did he know at the time but Wallace D. Wattles would be churning a matrix of events that would span an entire century. After 50 years of his death a man named Lloyd Conant picked up “the little green book” and was so fascinated by it that he reread its entire contents few times over a weekend.
This inspired him to be the co-founder of the Nightingale Conant Corporation, one of the largest organizations of personal development in the world today. This green book was p***ed from one great to another future great Bob Proctor, who had been studying human potential for 10 years. This man has the ability to take the most difficult concepts and make them easy step by step instructions ANYONE can follow.
Using the principles of the little green book, Bob Proctor has written and taught seminars across Asia America and Europe. He has helped companies increase their revenues by hundreds of millions of dollars each year. The ideas and exercises in these seminars have been used by individuals to lead fulfilled and brighter lives.
He has mentored entrepreneurs, doctors, psychiatrists, educators, executives of multinational corporations, salespeople and students. He truly is the grandfather of personal development and human potential.
He also wrote the number one bestseller You were Born Rich. Think about what that means, it means you have deep reservoirs of potential which are within you when you were born, most of which might remain undeveloped throughout your life span.
With this knowledge, you shall live the life you dreamed of once (probably when you were young) and all obstacles will give way to a life which cannot be fully described in words here, the kind of feeling you get when you listen to fascinating music.
This secret was rediscovered by a woman named Rhonda Byrne in Australia on a night in September 2004 . She found an old tattered copy of a book in her briefcase presented by her daughter. This was the ‘little green book’. Her life was no good at that point to say the least, her father had died suddenly, her business was failing, her friendships were in turmoil and she was about to give up, but a small glimmer of hope and light penetrated her mind with the little green book in her hand.
She read and reread the contents of the book just like Lloyd Conant until every word had been internalized into her being, and whaam!, her whole life had started changing.
She felt she had to share this information with everyone in the world. It was a deep calling from within her. 9 months later, she embarked on this journey to find teachers who had mastered the secret. At this point she had not organized one teacher to be on the movie “The Secret”, she simply relied on the knowledge of the secret to bring to her the perfect teachers at the perfect time.
On her flight from Australia to Usa she had one book that she read, You were Born Rich by Bob Proctor. With a twist of fate Bob and Rhonda met for the first time, and the rest is history.
How does this apply to you?
As I mentioned before me and you live in an unprecedented era in human history where knowledge is available freely over a vast globalized world. We ARE going towards greater things, more opportunities for advancement, fuller expression and expansion. With the advent of email, text messaging, Instant messaging, cellular phones etc we have parallel conversations going on at the same time.
I believe that the world is going towards peace and harmony regardless of the appearances today. If YOU apply this knowledge in the world and spread the love and prosperity within you, you shall begin a matrix of events into the world way beyond your imagination. You shall be the director, producer, actor and star in your own movie and instead of envying others, you will enjoy levels of fulfillment and satisfaction way beyond your wildest dreams. You have the potential. Think about it.
