Now that you know The Secret, when you see someone who is 
wealthy you will know that that person's predominant thoughts 104 The Secret 
are on wealth and not on scarcity, and that they have drawn wealth 
to them—whether they did it consciously or unconsciously. They 
focused on thoughts of wealth and the Universe moved people, 
circumstances, and events to deliver wealth to them. The wealth that they have, you have also. The only difference be-
tween you and them is that they thought the thoughts to bring the 
wealth to them. Your wealth is waiting for you in the invisible, and 
to bring it into the visible, think wealth! DAVID SCHIRMER 
When I first understood The Secret, every day I would get 
a bunch of bills in the mail I thought, "How do I turn this 
around?" The law of attraction states that what you focus 
on you will get, so I got a bank statement, I whited out the 
total, and I put a new total in there. I put exactly how much 
I wanted to see in the bank. So I thought, "What if I just 
visualized checks coming in the mail?" So I just visualized a 
bunch of checks coming in the mail Within just one month, 
things started to change. It is amazing; today I just get 
checks in the mail. I get a few bills, but I get more checks 
than bills. Since the film The Secret was released, we have received hundreds 
and hundreds of letters from people who have said that since 
watching the film they have received unexpected checks in the 
mail. And it happened because as they gave their focus and atten­
tion to David's story, they brought checks to them. The Secret to Money 105 
A game I created that helped shift my feelings about my pile of 
bills was to pretend that the bills were actually checks. I would 
jump for joy as I opened them and say, "More money for me! Thank you. Thank you." I took each bill, imagined it was a check, 
and then I added a zero to it in my mind to make it even more. I 
got a notepad and wrote at the top of the page "I have received," 
and then I would list all the amounts of the bills with an added 
zero. Next to each amount I would write "Thank you," and feel 
the feelings of gratitude for receiving it—to the point where I had 
tears in my eyes. Then I would take each bill, which looked very 
small compared to what I had received, and I would pay it with 
gratitude! I never opened my bills until I had got myself into the feeling 
that they were checks, if I opened my bills before convincing 
myself they were checks, my stomach would churn when I 
opened them. I knew that the emotion of the churning in my 
stomach was powerfully bringing more bills. I knew I had to 
erase that feeling, and replace it with joyful feelings, so I could 
bring more money into my life. In the face of a pile of bills, that 
game worked for me, and it changed my life. There are so many 
games you can create, and you will know what works best for 
you by the way you feel inside. When you make-believe, the 
results come fast! 106 The Secret 
LORAL LANGEMEIER 
FINANCIAL STRATEGIST, SPEAKER, AND 
PERSONAL AND CORPORATE COACH 
I grew up on, "You have to work hard for money." So I replaced that with, "Money comes easily and 
frequently." Now in the beginning it feels like a lie, right? There is a part of your brain that will say, "Oh you liar, it's 
hard." So you have to know it's this little tennis match that 
will go on for a while. If you have had thoughts of, "I have to work really hard and 
struggle to have money," let them go immediately. By thinking 
those thoughts you emitted that frequency, and they became the 
pictures of your life experience. Take Loral Langemeier's advice, 
and replace those thoughts with, "Money comes easily and fre­
quently." DAVID SCHIRMER 
When it comes to creating wealth, wealth is a mindset. It's all 
about how you think. LORAL LANGEMEIER 
I'd say 80 percent of the coaching that I do with folks is 
about their psychology and the way they think. I know 
when people say, "Oh, you can do it, I can't." People 
have the capability to change their inner relationship and 
conversation with money. The Secret to Money 107 
"The good news is that the moment you 
decide that what you know is more important 
than what you have been taught to believe, 
you will have shifted gears in your quest for 
abundance. Success comes from within, not 
from without." You have got to feel good about money to attract more to you. Un-
derstandably when people do not have enough money they do not 
feel good about money, because they don't have enough. But those 
negative feelings about money are stopping more money coming 
to you! You have got to stop the cycle, and you stop it by starting to 
feel good about money, and being grateful for what you have. Start 
to say and feet, "I have more than enough." "There is an abundance 
of money and it's on its way to me." "I am a money magnet." "I 
love money and money loves me." "I am receiving money every 
day." "Thank you. Thank you. Thank you/' 
Giving is a powerful action to bring more money into your life, 
because when you are giving you are saying, "I have plenty." It 
will not be surprising to you to learn that the wealthiest people on 
the planet are the greatest philanthropists. They give away vast 108 The Secret 
amounts of money, and as they give, by the law of attraction, the 
Universe opens up and floods vast amounts of money back to them 
—multiplied! If you are thinking, "I don't have enough money to give," bingo! Now you know why you don't have enough money! When you 
think you don't have enough to give, start giving. As you demon­
strate faith in giving, the law of attraction must give you more to 
give. There is a big difference between giving and sacrificing. Giving 
from a heart that is overflowing feels so good. Sacrificing does not 
feel good. Don't confuse the two—they are diametrically opposed. One emits a signal of lack and the other emits a signal of more-
than-enough. One feels good and one does not feel good. Sacrifice 
will eventually lead to resentment. Giving from a full heart is one 
of the most joyous things you can do, and the law of attraction will 
grab hold of that signal and flood even more into your life. You can 
feet the difference. I find so many people who make a tremendous amount of 
money, but their relationships stink. And that's not wealth. You can go after the money and you might get rich, but it 
doesn't guarantee you'll be wealthy. I'm not suggesting that 
money isn't a part of wealth, it absolutely is. But it's only a 
part. The Secret to Money 109 
And then I meet a lot of people who are "spiritual" but 
they're sick and broke all the time. That's not wealth either. Life is meant to be abundant—in all areas. If you have been brought up to believe that being wealthy is not 
spiritual, then I highly recommend you read The Millionaires of 
the Bible Series by Catherine Ponder. In these glorious books you 
will discover that Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, Joseph, Moses, and Jesus 
were not only prosperity teachers, but also millionaires them-
selves, with more affluent lifestyles than many present-day mil-
lionaires could conceive of. You are the heir to the kingdom. Prosperity is your birthright, and 
you hold the key to more abundance—in every area of your life— 
than you can possibly imagine. You deserve every good thing you 
want, and the Universe will give you every good thing you want, 
but you have to summon it into your life. Now you know The 
Secret. You have the key. The key is your thoughts and feelings, 
and you have been holding the key in your hand all of your life. MARCI SHIMOFF 
Many people in Western culture are striving for success. They 
want the great home, they want their businesses to work, 
they want all these outer things. But what we found in our 
research is that having these outer things does not necessarily 
guarantee what we really want, which is happiness. So we 
go for these outer things thinking they're going to bring us 110 The Secret 
happiness, but it's backward. You need to go for the inner joy, 
the inner peace, the inner vision first, and then all of the outer 
things appear. Everything you want is an inside job! The outside world is the 
world of effects; if s just the result of thoughts. Set your thoughts 
and frequency on happiness. Radiate the feelings of happiness and 
joy within you, and transmit that into the Universe with all of your 
might, and you will experience true heaven on earth. • To attract money, focus on wealth. It is impossible to bring more 
money into your life when you focus on the lack of it. • It is helpful to use your imagination and make-believe you already 
have the money you want. Play games of having wealth and you 
will feel better about money; as you feel better about it, more will 
flow into your life. • Feeling happy now is the fastest way to bring money into your life. • Make it your intention to look at everything you like and say to 
yourself, "I can afford that. I can buy that." You will shift your 
thinking and begin to feel better about money. • 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." • Visualize checks in the mail. • Tip the balance of your thoughts to wealth. Think wealth. MARIE DIAMOND 
FENG SHUI CONSULTANT, TEACHER, 
AND SPEAKER 
The Secret means that we are creators of our 
Universe, and that every wish that we want to create 
will manifest in our lives. Therefore, our wishes, thoughts, 
and feelings are very important because they will manifest. One day I went into the home of an art director, a very famous 
film producer. In every corner he had this beautiful image of a 
naked woman draped with a fabric, kind of turning away as if 
she were saying, "I don't see you." I said to him, "I think you 
might have trouble in your romance." And he said, "Are you 
clairvoyant?" "No, but look. In seven places, you have exactly 
that same woman." He said, "But I love that kind of painting. I painted it myself." I said, "That's even worse because you 
put all your creation and creativity in it." 114 The Secret 
He's a gorgeous-looking man with all these actresses around 
him because that's the work he does, and he doesn't have any 
romance. I asked him, "What do you want?" "I want to date 
three women a week." I said, "OK, paint it. Paint yourself with 
three women, and hang it in every corner of your living space." Six months later I saw him and asked, "How is your love 
life?" "Great! Women call me, they want to date me." "Because that's your wish," I said. He said, "I feel great. I 
mean, for years I did not have a date and now I have three 
dates a week. They're fighting over me." "Good for you," 
I said. Then he told me, "I really want to stabilize. I want 
marriage now, I want romance." I said, "Well, then paint it." He painted a beautiful romantic relationship, and a year later 
he got married, and he's very happy. This is because he put another wish out. He wished it in 
himself for years without it happening because his wish could 
not manifest. The outer level of himself—his house—was 
contradicting his wish all the time. So if you understand this 
knowledge, you just start playing with it. Marie Diamond's story of her client is a perfect demonstration of 
how Feng Shui reflects the teachings of The Secret. It illustrates how 
our thoughts create powerfully when we put them into action. Any 
action we take must be preceded by a thought. Thoughts create the 
words we speak, the feelings we feel, and our actions. Actions are 
particularly powerful because they are thoughts that have caused 
us to act. The Secret to Relationships 115 
We may not even realize what our innermost thoughts are, but we 
can see what we have been thinking by looking at the actions we 
have taken. In the story of the film producer, his innermost thoughts 
were reflected in his actions and surroundings. He had painted 
many women, all turning away from him. Can you see what his 
innermost thoughts were? Even though his words were saying he 
wanted to date more women, his innermost thoughts did not reflect 
that in his paintings. By deliberately choosing to change his actions, 
it caused him to focus his entire thought on what he wanted. With 
such a simple shift, he was able to paint his life and call it into exist-
ence through the law of attraction. When you want to attract something into your life, make sure your 
actions don't contradict your desires. One of the most wonderful 
examples of this is given by Mike Dooley, one of the teachers fea-
tured in The Secret, in his audio course, Leveraging the Universe and 
Engaging the Magic. It is a story of a woman who wanted to attract 
her perfect partner into her life. She had done all the right things: 
She got clear about what she wanted him to be like, made a detailed 
list of all of his qualities, and visualized him in her life. Despite 
doing all these things, there was no sign of him. Then one day as she arrived home and was parking her car in the 
middle of her garage, she gasped as she realized that her actions 
were contradicting what she wanted. If her car was in the middle 
of the garage, there was no room for her perfect partner's car! Her 
actions were powerfully saying to the Universe that she did not 
believe she was going to receive what she had asked for. So she 
immediately cleaned up her garage and parked her car to one side, 116 The Secret 
leaving space for her perfect partner's car on the other side. She 
then went into her bedroom and opened her wardrobe, which was 
jammed full of clothes. There was no room for her perfect partner's 
clothes. So she moved some of her clothes to make space. She had 
also been sleeping in the middle of her bed, and so she began sleep-
ing on "her" side, leaving space for her partner. This woman related her story to Mike Dooley over a dinner, and sit-
ting next to her at the table was her perfect partner. After taking all 
of these powerful actions and acting as if she had already received 
her perfect partner, he arrived in her life and they are now happily 
married. Another simple example of "acting as if" is a story of my sister 
Glenda, who is the production manager of the film The Secret. She 
was living and working in Australia, and she wanted to move to 
the United States and work with me in our U.S. office. Glenda knew 
The Secret very well, and so she was doing all the right things to 
bring forth what she wanted, but months were passing by and she 
was still in Australia. Glenda looked at her actions and realized she was not "acting as 
if" she was receiving what she had asked for. So she began to take 
powerful actions. She organized everything in her life for her de-
parture. She canceled memberships, gave away things she would 
not need, and she got her suitcases out and packed them. Within 
four weeks, Glenda was in the United States working out of our 
U.S. office. The Secret to Relationships 117 
Think about what you have asked for, and make sure that your 
actions are mirroring what you expect to receive, and that they're 
not contradicting what you've asked for. Act as if you are receiv-
ing it. Do exactly what you would do if you were receiving it 
today, and take actions in your life to reflect that powerful expec-
tation. Make room to receive your desires, and as you do, you are 
sending out that powerful signal of expectation. LISA NICHOLS 
Inside relationships it's important to first understand who's 
coming into the relationship, and not just your partner. You 
need to understand yourself first. JAMES RAY 
How can you ever expect anyone else to enjoy your company 
if you don't enjoy your own company? And so again, the law 
of attraction or The Secret is about bringing that into your 
life. You 've got to get really, really clear. Here's the question I 
would ask you to consider: Do you treat yourself the way you 
want other people to treat you ? When you do not treat yourself the way you want others to treat 
you, you can never change the way things are. Your actions are 
your powerful thoughts, so if you do not treat yourself with 118 The Secret 
love and respect, you are emitting a signal that is saying you are 
not important enough, worthy enough, or deserving. That sig-
nal will continue to be broadcast, and you will experience more 
situations of people not treating you well. The people are just 
the effect. Your thoughts are the cause. You must begin to treat 
yourself with love and respect, and emit that signal and get on 
that frequency. Then the law of attraction will move the entire 
Universe, and your life will be full of people who love and re-
spect you. Many people have sacrificed themselves for others, thinking when 
they sacrifice themselves they are being a good person. Wrong! To 
sacrifice yourself can only come from thoughts of absolute lack, 
because it is saying, "There is not enough for everyone, so I will go 
without" Those feelings do not feel good and will eventually lead 
to resentment. There is abundance for everybody and it is each 
person's responsibility to summon their own desires. You cannot 
summon for another person because you cannot think and feel for 
another. Your job is You, When you make feeling good a priority, 
that magnificent frequency will radiate and touch everyone close 
to you. DR. JOHN GRAY 
You become the solution for you. Don't point to another 
person and say, "Now you owe me and you need to give me 
more." Instead, give more to yourself. Take time off to give to 
yourself, and in a sense to fill yourself up to fullness, to where 
now you can overflow in giving. The Secret to Relationships 119 
Many of us were taught to put ourselves last, and as a consequence 
we attracted feelings of being unworthy and undeserving. As those 
feelings lodged within us, we continued to attract more life situa-
tions that had us feel more unworthy and not enough. You must 
change that thinking. "Undoubtedly to some, the idea of giving so 
much love to self will seem very cold, hard and 
unmerciful. Still this matter may be seen in a 
different light, when we find that 'looking out for 
Number One,' as directed by the Infinite, is really 
looking out for Number Two and is indeed the 
only way to permanently benefit Number Two." "To acquire love... fill yourself up with it until 
you become a magnet." Unless you fill yourself up first, you have nothing to give anybody. Therefore it is imperative that you tend to You first. Attend to your 
joy first. People are responsible for their own joy. When you tend 
to your joy and do what makes you feel good, you are a joy to be 
around and you are a shining example to every child and every 
person in your life. When you are feeling joy you don't even have 
to think about giving. It is a natural overflow. 120 The Secret 
The reason you have to love You is because it is impossible to feel 
good if you don't love You. When you feel bad about yourself, you 
are blocking all the love and all the good that the Universe has for 
you. When you feel bad about yourself it feels as though you are suck-
ing the life out of you, because all of your good, on every single 
subject—including health, wealth, and love—is on the frequency of 
joy and feeling good. The feeling of having unlimited energy, and 
that amazing feeling of health and wellness, are all on the frequency 
of feeling good. When you don't feel good about You, you are on 
a frequency that is attracting more people, situations, and circum-
stances that will continue to make you feel bad about You. You must change your focus and begin to think about all the things 
that are wonderful about You. Look for the positives in You. As you 
focus on those things, the law of attraction will show you more 
great things about You. You attract what you think about. All you I got into many relationships expecting my partner to show 
me my beauty, because I didn't see my own beauty. When I 
was growing up, my heroes or my "she-roes" were the Bionic 
Woman, Wonder Woman, and Charlie's Angels. And while 
they're wonderful, they didn't look like me. It wasn't until I 
fell in love with Lisa—I fell in love with my mocha skin, my 
full lips, my round hips, my curly black hair—it wasn't until 
that happened that the rest of the world was able to fall in love 
with me as well. LISA NICHOLS The Secret to Relationships 121 
There's something so magnificent about you. I have been 
studying me for forty-four years. I wanna kiss myself 
sometimes! Because you're going to get to love yourself. I'm 
not talking about conceit I'm talking about a healthy respect 
for yourself And as you love yourself, you'll automatically 
love others. BOB PROCTOR have to do is begin with one prolonged thought of something good 
about You, and the law of attraction will respond by giving You 
more like thoughts. Look for the good things about You. Seek and 
ye shall find! MARCI SHIMOFF 
In relationships we're so used to complaining about other 
people. For instance, "My coworkers are so lazy, my husband 
makes me so mad, my children are so difficult." It's always 
focusing on the other person. But for relationships to really 
work, we need to focus on what we appreciate about the other 
person, not what we're complaining about. When we're 
complaining about those things we're only getting more of 
those things. Even if you're having a really hard time in a relationship-
things aren't working, you're not getting along, someone's in 
your face—you still can turn that relationship around. Take a 
piece of paper, and for the next thirty days sit down and write 
all the things that you appreciate about that person. Think 
about all the reasons that you love them. You appreciate their 122 The Secret 
sense of humor, you appreciate how supportive they are. And 
what you'll find is that when you focus on appreciating and 
acknowledging their strengths, that's what you'll get more of, 
and the problems will fade away. LISA NICHOLS 
Oftentimes you give others the opportunity to create your 
happiness, and many times they fail to create it the way you 
want it. Why? Because only one person can be in charge of 
your joy, of your bliss, and that's you. So even your parent, 
your child, your spouse—they do not have the control to 
create your happiness. They simply have the opportunity to 
share in your happiness. Your joy lies within you. All your joy is on the frequency of love—the highest and the most 
powerful frequency of all. You can't hold love in your hand. You 
can only feel it in your heart. It is a state of being. You can see evi-
dence of love being expressed through people, but love is a feeling, 
and you are the only one that can radiate and emit that feeling of 
love. Your ability to generate feelings of love is unlimited, and when 
you love you are in complete and utter harmony with the Universe. Love everything you can. Love everyone you can. Focus only on 
things you love, feel love, and you will experience that love and joy 
coming back to you—multiplied! The law of attraction must send 
you back more things to love. As you radiate love, it will appear 
as though the entire Universe is doing everything for you, moving 
every joyful thing to you, and moving every good person to you. In truth, it is. • When you want to attract a relationship, make sure your thoughts, 
words, actions, and surroundings don't contradict your desires. • Your job is you. Unless you fill yourself up first, you have nothing to 
give anybody. • Treat yourself with love and respect, and you will attract people who 
show you love and respect. • When you feel bad about yourself, you block the love and instead you 
attract more people and situations that will continue to make you 
feel bad about you. • Focus on the qualities you love about yourself and the law of attra-
tion will show you more great things about you. • To make a relationship work, focus on what you appreciate about 
the other person, and not your complaints. When you focus on the 
strengths, you will get more of them. 123 DR, JOHN HAGELIN

Our body is really the product of our thoughts. We're 
beginning to understand in medical science the degree 
to which the nature of thoughts and emotions actually 
determines the physical substance and structure and function 
of our bodies. DR JOHN DEMARTINI 
We've known in the healing arts of a placebo effect. A placebo 
is something that supposedly has no impact and no effect on 
the body, like a sugar pill. You tell the patient that this is just as effective, and what 
happens is the placebo sometimes has the same effect, if not 
greater effect, than the medication that is supposed to be 126 The Secret 
designed for that effect. They have found out that the human 
mind is the biggest factor in the healing arts, sometimes more 
so than the medication. As you are becoming aware of the magnitude of The Secret, you 
will begin to see more clearly the underlying truth of certain occur-
rences in humankind, including in the area of health. The placebo 
effect is a powerful phenomenon. When patients think and truly 
believe the tablet is a cure, they will receive what they believe, and 
they will be cured. DR. JOHN DEMARTINI 
If somebody is in a situation where they're sick and they have 
an alternative to try to explore what is in their mind creating 
it, versus using medicine, if it's an acute situation that could 
really bring death to them, then obviously the medicine is a 
wise thing to do, while they explore what the mind is about. So you don't want to negate medicine. Every form of healing 
has a place. LISA NICHOLS

We've got a thousand different diagnoses and diseases 
out there. They're just the weak link. They're all the result of 
one thing: stress. If you put enough stress on the chain and 
you put enough stress on the system, then one of the links 
breaks. All stress begins with one negative thought. One thought that went 
unchecked, and then more thoughts came and more, until stress 
manifested. The effect is stress, but the cause was negative think­
ing, and it all began with one little negative thought. No matter 
what you might have manifested, you can change it... with one 
small positive thought and then another. DR. JOHN DEMARTINI 
Our physiology creates disease to give us feedback, to let us 
know we have an imbalanced perspective, or we're not being 
loving and grateful. So the body's signs and symptoms are not 
something terrible. 128 The Secret 
Dr. Demartini is telling us that love and gratitude will dissolve all 
negativity in our lives, no matter what form it has taken. Love and 
gratitude can part seas, move mountains, and create miracles. And 
love and gratitude can dissolve any disease. MICHAEL BERNARD BECKWITH 
The question frequently asked is, "When a person has 
manifested a disease in the body temple or some kind of 
discomfort in their life, can it be turned around through the 
power of 'right' thinking?" And the answer is absolutely, 
yes. CATHY GOODMAN, A PERSONAL STORY 
I was diagnosed with breast cancer. I truly believed 
in my heart, with my strong faith, that I was already 
healed. Each day I would say, "Thank you for my 
healing." On and on and on I went, "Thank you for 
my healing." I believed in my heart I was healed. I saw 
myself as if cancer was never in my body. One of the things I did to heal myself was to watch very funny 
movies. That's all we would do was just laugh, laugh, and 
laugh. We couldn't afford to put any stress in my life, because 
we knew stress was one of the worst things you can do while 
you're trying to heal yourself. The Secret to Health 129 
From the time I was diagnosed to the time I was healed 
was approximately three months. And that's without any 
radiation or chemotherapy. This beautiful and inspiring story from Cathy Goodman dem-
onstrates three magnificent powers in operation: The power of 
gratitude to heal, the power of faith to receive, and the power of 
laughter and joy to dissolve disease in our bodies. Cathy was inspired to include laughter as part of her healing, after 
hearing about the story of Norman Cousins. Norman had been diagnosed with an "incurable" disease. The 
doctors told him he had just a few months to live. Norman decided 
to heal himself. For three months all he did was watch funny 
movies and laugh, laugh, laugh. The disease left his body in those 
three months, and the doctors proclaimed his recovery a miracle. As he laughed, Norman released all negativity, and he released the 
disease. Laughter really is the best medicine. DR. BEN JOHNSON

Disease cannot live in a body that's in a healthy emotional

and it's also creating millions of new cells at the same time. DR. JOHN HAGELIN 
In fact, parts of our body are literally replaced every day. Other parts take a few months, other parts a couple of years. But within a few years we each have a brand new physical 
body. If our entire bodies are replaced within a few years, as science has 
proven, then how can it be that degeneration or illness remains in 
our bodies for years? It can only be held there by thought, by ob-
servation of the illness, and by the attention given to the illness. Think thoughts of perfection. Illness cannot exist in a body that 
has harmonious thoughts. Know there is only perfection, and as 
you observe perfection you must summon that to you. Imperfect 
thoughts are the cause of all humanity's ills, including disease, 
poverty, and unhappiness. When we think negative thoughts we 
are cutting ourselves off from our rightful heritage. Declare and 
intend, "I think perfect thoughts. I see only perfection. I am perfec-

explains that we have a brand new body in a very short time. Aging is limited thinking, so release those thoughts from your 
consciousness and know that your body is only months old, no 
matter how many birthdays you have chalked up in your mind. For your next birthday, do yourself a favor and celebrate it as your 
first birthday! Don't cover your cake with sixty candles, unless you 
want to summon aging to you. Unfortunately, Western society has 
become fixated on age, and in reality there is no such thing. You can think your way to the perfect state of health, the perfect 
body, the perfect weight, and eternal youth. You can bring it into 
being, through your consistent thinking of perfection. BOB PROCTOR 
If you have a disease, and you're focusing on it, and you're 
talking to people about it, you're going to create more diseased 
cells. See yourself living in a perfectly healthy body. Let the 
doctor look after the disease. One of the things that people often do when they have an illness is 
talk about it all the time. That's because they're thinking about it all 
the time, so they're just verbalizing their thoughts. If you are feel-132 The Secret 
ing a little unwell, don't talk about it—unless you want more of it. Know that your thought was responsible and repeat as often as you 
can, "I feel wonderful. I feel so good," and really feel it. If you are 
not feeling great and somebody asks you how you are feeling, just 
be grateful that that person has reminded you to think thoughts of 
feeling well. Speak only the words of what you want. You cannot "catch" anything unless you think you can, and think­
ing you can is inviting it to you with your thought. You are also 
inviting illness if you are listening to people talking about their 
illness. As you listen you are giving all of your thought and focus 
to illness, and when you give all of your thought to something, 
you are asking for it. And you are certainly not helping them. You 
are adding energy to their illness. If you really want to help that 
person, change the conversation to good things, if you can, or be 
on your way. As you walk away, give your powerful thoughts and 
feelings to seeing that person well, and then let it go. LISA NICHOLS 
Let's say you have two -people, both stricken with something, 
but one chooses to focus on joy. One chooses to live in 
possibility and hopefulness, focusing on all the reasons why 
she should be joyful and grateful Then you have the second 
person. Same diagnosis, but the second chooses to focus on the 
disease, the pain, and the "woe is me." BOB DOYLE 
When people are completely focused on what's wrong and 
their symptoms, they will perpetuate it. The healing will not The Secret to Health 133 
occur until they shift their attention from being sick to being 
well. Because that's the law of attraction. "Let us remember, so far as we can, that every 
unpleasant thought is a bad thing literally put 
in the body." DR, JOHN HAGELIN 
Happier thoughts lead to essentially a happier biochemistry. A happier, healthier body. Negative thoughts and stress have 
been shown to seriously degrade the body and the functioning 
of the brain, because it's our thoughts and emotions that are 
continuously reassembling, reorganizing, re-creating our 
body. No matter what you have manifested in regards to your body, you 
can change it—inside and out. Start thinking happy thoughts and 
start being happy. Happiness is a feeling state of being. You have 
your finger on the "feeling happy" button. Press it now and keep 
your finger pressed down on it firmly, no matter what is happening 
around you. DR. BEN JOHNSON 
Remove physiological stress from the body, and the body docs 
what it was designed to do. It heals itself. 134 The Secret 
I had been wearing reading glasses for about three years before I 
discovered The Secret. One night as I was tracing the knowledge of 
The Secret back through the centuries, I found myself reaching for 
my glasses to see what I was reading. And I stopped in my tracks. The realization of what I had done struck me like a lightning bolt. I had listened to society's message that eyesight diminishes with 
age. I had watched people stretch their arms out so that they could 
read something. I had given my thought to eyesight diminishing 
with age, and I had brought it to me. I hadn't done it deliberately 
but I had done it. I knew that what I had brought into being with 
thoughts I could change, so I immediately imagined myself seeing 
as clearly as when I was twenty-one years old. I saw myself in dark 
restaurants, on planes, and at my computer, reading clearly and 
effortlessly And I said over and over, "I can see clearly, I can see 
clearly." I felt the feelings of gratitude and excitement for having 
clear vision. In three days my eyesight had been restored, and I 
now do not own reading glasses. I can see clearly. When I told Dr. Ben Johnson, one of the teachers from The Secret, 
about what I had done, he said to me, "Do you realize what had MICHAEL BERNARD BECKWITH 
I've seen kidneys regenerated. I've seen cancer dissolved. I've 
seen eyesight improve and come back. You don't have to fight to get rid of a disease. Just the simple proc-
ess of letting go of negative thoughts will allow your natural state 
of health to emerge within you. And your body will heal itself. The Secret to Health 135 
to happen to your eyes for you to do that in three days?" I replied, 
"No, and thank goodness I didn't know, so that thought was not 
in my head! I just knew I could do it, and that I could do it fast." (Sometimes less information is better!) Dr. Johnson eliminated an "incurable" disease from his own body, 
so the restoration of my eyesight seemed like nothing to me, com-
pared with his own miracle story. In fact, I expected my eyesight 
to come back overnight, so three days was no miracle in my mind. Remember, time and size do not exist in the Universe. It is as easy 
to heal a pimple as a disease. The process is identical; the difference 
is in our minds. So if you have attracted some affliction to you, 
reduce it in your mind to the size of a pimple, let go of all negative 
thoughts, and then focus on the perfection of health. I believe and know that nothing is incurable. At some point in time, 
every so-called incurable disease has been cured. In my mind, and 
in the world I create, "incurable" does not exist. There is plenty of 
room for you in this world, so come join me and all who are here. It is the world where "miracles" are everyday occurrences. It is a 
world overflowing with total abundance, where all good things 
exist now, within you. Sounds like heaven, doesn't it? It is. DR. JOHN DEMARTINI 
I always say that incurable means "curable from within." 136 The Secret

You can change your life and you can heal yourself. MORRIS GOODMAN 
AUTHORAND INTERNATIONAL SPEAKER 
My story begins on March 10,1981. This day 
really changed my whole life. It was a day I'll 
never forget. I crashed an airplane. I ended up 
in the hospital completely paralyzed. My spinal cord 
was crushed, I broke the first and second cervical vertebrae, 
my swallowing reflex was destroyed, I couldn't eat or drink, 
my diaphragm was destroyed, I couldn't breathe. All I could 
do was blink my eyes. The doctors, of course, said I'd be a 
vegetable the rest of my life. All I'd be able to do is blink my 
eyes. That's the picture they saw of me, but it didn't matter 
what they thought. The main thing was what I thought. I 
pictured myself being a normal person again, walking out of 
that hospital. The only thing I had to work with in the hospital was my 
mind, and once you have your mind, you can put things back 
together again. I was hooked to a respirator and they said I'd never breathe 
on my own again because my diaphragm was destroyed. But a little voice kept saying to me, "Breathe deeply, breathe 
deeply." And finally I was weaned from it. They were at a 
loss for an explanation. I could not afford to allow anything The Secret to Health 137 
to come into my mind that would distract me from my goal or 
from my vision. I had set a goal to walk out of the hospital on Christmas. And I did. I walked out of the hospital on my own twofeet. They said it couldn't be done. That's a day I will never 
forget 
For people who are sitting out there right now and are hurting, if I 
wanted to sum up my life and sum up for people what they can do in 
life, I would sum it up in six words: "Man becomes what he thinks 
about." Morris Goodman is known as The Miracle Man. His story was 
chosen for The Secret because it demonstrates the unfathomable 
power and unlimited potential of the human mind. Morris knew 
the power within him to bring about what he chose to think 
about. Everything is possible. Morris Goodman's story has in-
spired thousands of people to think, imagine, and feel their way 
back to health. He turned the greatest challenge of his life into the 
greatest gift. Since the film The Secret was released, we have been inundated 
with miracle stories of all types of diseases dissolving from peo-
ple's bodies after they watched The Secret. All things are possible 
when you believe. On the subject of health I would like to leave you with these illu-
minating words from Dr. Ben Johnson: "We are now entering the 138 The Secret 
era of energy medicine. Everything in the Universe has a frequency 
and all you have to do to is change a frequency or create an op-
posite frequency. That's how easy it is to change anything in the 
world, whether that's disease or emotional issues or whatever that 
is. This is huge. This is the biggest thing that we have ever come 
across." The placebo effect is an example of the law of attraction in action. When a patient truly believes the tablet is a cure, he receives what 
he believes and is cured. "Focusing on perfect health " is something we can all do within our-
selves, despite what may be happening on the outside. Laughter attracts joy, releases negativity, and leads to miraculous 
cures. 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 lis-
ten to people talk about their illness, you add energy to their illness. Instead, change the conversation to good things, and give powerful 
thoughts to seeing those people in health. Beliefs about aging are all in our minds, so release those thoughts 
from your consciousness. Focus on health and eternal youth. Do not listen to society's messages about diseases and aging. Nega-
tive messages do not serve you. 139 LISA NICHOLS 
People have a tendency to look at the things that they want 
and say, "Yes, I like that, I want that." However, they look 
at the things that they don't want and they give them just as 
much energy, if not more, with the idea that they can stamp it 
out, they can eliminate it, obliterate it. In our society, we've 
become content with fighting against things. Fighting against 
cancer, fighting against poverty, fighting against war, fighting 
against drugs, fighting against terrorisim, fighting against 
violence. We tend to fight everything we don't want, which 
actually creates more of a fight. HALE DWOSKIN 
TEACHER AND AUTHOR OF THE SEDONA METHOD 
Anything we focus on we do create. So if we're really 
angry, for instance, at a war that's going on, or strife, 
141 142 The Secret 
BOB DOYLE 
The reason that what you resist persists is because if you're 
resisting something, you're saying, "No, I don't want this thing, 
because it makes me feel this way—the way I am feeling right 
now." So you're putting out a really strong emotion of, "I really 
don't like this feeling," and then it comes racing toward you. Resistance to anything is like trying to change the outside pictures 
after they have been transmitted. It's a futile pursuit. You have to 
go within and emit a new signal with your thoughts and feelings to 
create the new pictures. As you resist what has appeared, you are adding more energy and 
more power to those pictures you don't like, and you are bringing 
more of them at a furious rate. The event or circumstances can only 
get bigger, because that is the law of the Universe. JACK CANFIELD 
The anti-war movement creates more war. The anti-drug 
movement has actually created more drugs. Because we're 
focusing on what we don't want—drugs! or suffering, we're adding our energy to it. We're pushing 
ourselves, and that only creates resistance. "What you resist persists." The Secret to the World 143 
LISA NICHOLS 
People believe that if we really want to eliminate something, 
focus on that. How much sense does it make for us to give 
the particular problem all of the energy, as opposed to 
focusing on trust, love, living in abundance, education, or 
peace? JACK CAN FIELD 
Mother Teresa was brilliant. She said, "I will never attend an 
anti-war rally. If you have a peace rally, invite me." She knew. She understood The Secret. Look what she manifested in the 
world. HALE DWOSKIN 
So if you're anti-war, be pro-peace instead. If you're anti-
hunger, be pro-people having more than enough to eat. If you 
are anti-a-particular politician, be pro-his opponent. Often 
elections are tipped in favor of the person that the people are 
really against, because he's getting all the energy and all the 
focus. Everything in this world began with one thought. The bigger things 
get bigger because more people give their thoughts to it after it has 
appeared. Then those thoughts and emotions keep that very event 
in our existence, and make it bigger. If we took our minds off it and 
focused instead on love, it could not exist. It would evaporate and 
disappear. 144 The Secret 
"Remember, and this is one of the most difficult 
as well as most wonderful statements to grasp. Remember that no matter what the difficulty is, 
no matter where it is, no matter who is affected, 
you have no patient but yourself; you have 
nothing to do but convince yourself of the truth 
which you desire to see manifested." JACKCANFIELD 
It's OK to notice what you don't want, because it gives you 
contrast to say, "This is what I do want." But the fact is, 
the more you talk about what you don't want, or talk about 
how bad it is, read about that all the time, and then say how 
terrible it is—well, you're creating more of that 
You cannot help the world by focusing on the negative things. As 
you focus on the negative events of the world, you not only add to 
them, but you bring more negative things into your own life at the 
same time. When the pictures have appeared of something you do not want, 
it is your cue to change your thinking and emit a new signal. If it 
is a world situation, you are not powerless. You have all the power. Focus on everybody being in joy. Focus on abundance of food. Give 
your powerful thoughts to what is wanted. You have the ability to 
give so much to the world by emitting feelings of love and well-
being, despite what is happening around you. The Secret to the World 145 
When I discovered The Secret I made a decision that I would not 
watch the news or read newspapers anymore, because it did not 
make me feel good. The news services and the newspapers are 
not in any way to blame for broadcasting bad news. As a global 
community, we are responsible for it. We buy more newspapers 
when a huge drama is the headline. The news channels' ratings 
skyrocket when there is a national or international disaster. So the 
newspapers and news services give us more bad news because, as 
a society, that's what we are saying we want. The media is effect, 
and we are cause. It is just the law of attraction in action! The news services and newspapers will change what they deliver 
to us when we emit a new signal and focus on what we want. MICHAEL BERNARD BECKWITH 
Learn to become still, and to take your attention away from 
what you don't want, and all the emotional charge around it, 
and place the attention on what you wish to experience.... 
Energy flows where attention goes. "Think truly, and thy thoughts shall the world's 
famine feed." JAMES RAY 
So many times people say to me, "Well, James, I have to be 
informed," Maybe you have to be informed, but you don't 
have to be inundated. 146 The Secret 
Are you beginning to see the phenomenal power you have in this 
world, just through your existence? As you focus on the good 
things you feel good, and you are bringing more good things to the 
world. At the same time, you are bringing more good things into 
your own life. When you feel good you uplift your life, and you 
uplift the world! The law is perfection in operation. LISA NICHOLS 
It's not your job to change the world, or the people around 
you. It's your job to go with the flow inside of the Universe, 
and to celebrate it inside the world that exists. You are the master of your life, and the Universe is answering 
your every command. Don't become mesmerized by the pictures 
that have appeared if they are not what you want. Take respon-
sibility for them, make light of them if you can, and let them go. Then think new thoughts of what you want, feel them, and be 
grateful that it is done. DR. JOHN DEMARTINI 
I always say, when the voice and the vision on the inside 
become more profound, clear, and loud than the opinions 
on the outside, you've mastered your life! The Secret to the World 147 
DR. JOE VITALE 
One of the questions I get asked all the time is if everyone uses 
The Secret, and they all treat the Universe like a catalogue, 
aren't we going to run out of stuff? Won't everyone just make 
a run for it and bust the hank? MICHAEL BERNARD BECKWITH 
What's beautiful about the teaching of The Secret is that 
there's more than enough to go around for everyone. There is a lie that acts like a virus within the mind of 
humanity. And that lie is, "There's not enough good to go 
around. There's lack and there's limitation and there's just 
not enough." And that lie has people living in fear, greed, 
stinginess. And those thoughts of fear, greed, stinginess, 
and lack become their experience. So the world has taken a 
nightmare pill. The truth is that there's more than enough good to go around. There's more than enough creative ideas. There's more than 
enough power. There's more than enough love. There's more 
than enough joy. All of this begins to come through a mind 
that is aware of its own infinite nature. 148 The Secret 
To think there is not enough is to look at the outside pictures and 
think that everything comes from the outside. When you do that, 
you will most surely see lack and limitation. You now know that 
nothing comes into existence from the outside, and that everything 
first comes from thinking and feeling it on the inside. Your mind is 
the creative power of all things. So how can there be any lack? It's 
impossible. Your ability to think is unlimited, and so the things you 
can think into existence are unlimited. And so it is with everyone. When you truly know this, you are thinking from a mind that is 
aware of its own infinite nature. JAMES RAY 
Every great teacher who has ever walked the planet has told 
you that life was meant to be abundant. "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." JOHN ASSARAF 
And so just when we think that resources are dwindling, we 
find new resources that can achieve the same things. The true story of a Belize oil team is an inspiring example of the 
power of the human mind to bring forth resources. The directors The Secret to the World 149 
of Belize Natural Energy Limited were trained by the eminent 
Dr. Tony Quinn, who specializes in Humanistic Physiology train­
ing. With Dr. Quinn's mind power training, the directors were 
confident that their mental picture of Belize being a successful oil-
producing country would be achieved. They took a brave step 
forward to drill for oil in Spanish Lookout, and in one short year 
their dream and vision became a reality. Belize Natural Energy 
Limited discovered oil of the highest quality, in abundant flows 
where fifty other companies had failed to find any. Belize has be-
come an oil-producing country because an extraordinary team of 
people believed in the unlimited power of their mind. Nothing is limited—not resources or anything else. It is only 
limited in the human mind. When we open our minds to the un-
limited creative power, we will call forth abundance and see and 
experience a whole new world. DR. JOHN DEMARTINI 
Even though we say we have lack, it's because we don't open 
up our vision and see all of what is around us. DR, JOE VITALE 
You know when people start to live from their heart and go for 
what they want, they don't go for the same things. That's the 
beauty of this. We don't all want BMWs. We don't oil want 
the same person. We don't all want the same experiences. We 
don't all want the same clothing. We don't all want... (fill in 
the blank). 150 The Secret 
You are here on this glorious planet, endowed with this wonder-
ful power, to create your life! There are no limits to what you can 
create for You, because your ability to think is unlimited! But you 
cannot create other people's lives for them. You cannot think for 
them, and if you try to force your opinions on others you will 
only attract like forces to You. So let all others create the life they 
want. MICHAEL BERNARD BECKWITH 
There's enough for everyone. If you believe it, if you can see it, 
if you act from it, it'll show up for you. That's the truth. "If you have any lack, if you are prey to poverty 
or disease, it is because you do not believe or 
do not understand the power that is yours. It is 
not a question of the Universal giving to you. It offers everything to everyone—there is no 
partiality." The Universe offers all things to all people through the law of 
attraction. You have the ability to choose what you want to ex-
perience. Do you want there to be enough for you and for eve-
ryone? Then choose that and know, "There is abundance of all 
things." "There is an unlimited supply." "There is so much mag-
nificence." Each of us has the ability to tap into that unlimited 
invisible supply through our thoughts and feelings, and bring it The Secret to the World 151 
into our experience. So choose for You, because you're the only 
one who can. LISA NICHOLS 
Everything that you want—all the joy, love, abundance, 
prosperity, bliss— it's there, ready for you to grab ahold of 
it. And you've got to get hungry for it. You've got to be 
intentional. And when you become intentional and on fire 
for what you want, the Universe will deliver every single 
thing that you 've been wanting. Recognize the beautiful and 
wonderful things around you, and bless and praise them. And 
on the other side, the things that aren't currently working the 
way you want them to work, don't spend your energy faulting 
or complaining. Embrace everything that you want so you 
can get more of it. Lisa's wise words, to "praise and bless" the things around you, 
are worth their weight in gold. Praise and bless everything in your 
life! When you are praising or blessing you are on the highest fre-
quency of love. In the Bible, the Hebrews used the act of blessing to 
bring forth health, wealth, and happiness. They knew the power of 
blessing. For many people the only time they have blessed some-
one was when they sneezed, and so they have not used one of 
the greatest powers to their full advantage. The dictionary defines 
blessing as "invoking divine favor and conferring well-being or 
prosperity," so begin right now to invoke the power of blessing in 
your life, and bless everything and everyone. Likewise with prais-
ing, for when you are praising someone or something you are giv-152 The Secret 
ing love, and as you emit that magnificent frequency, it will return 
to you a hundred-fold. Praising and blessing dissolves all negativity, so praise and bless 
your enemies. If you curse your enemies, the curse will come back 
to harm you. If you praise and bless them you will dissolve all neg-
ativity and discord, and the love of the praising and blessings will 
return to you. As you praise and bless, you will feel yourself shift 
into a new frequency with the feedback of good feelings. DR. DENIS WAITLEY 
Most of the leaders in the past missed the great part of The 
Secret, which is to empower and share with others. This is the best time to have ever been alive in history. It's the 
first time we've ever had the power to gain knowledge at our 
fingertips. With this knowledge you are becoming aware—of the truth of the 
world, and yourself. My greatest insights into The Secret on the 
subject of the world came from the teachings of Robert Collier, 
Prentice Mulford, Charles Haanel, and Michael Bernard Beckwith. With that understanding came total freedom. I truly hope that 
you can come to the place of that same freedom. If you can, then 
through your existence and the power of your thoughts, you will 
bring the greatest good to this world and to the future of all hu-
mankind. • What you resist, you attract, because you are powerfully focused 
on it with emotion. To change anything, go within and emit a new 
signal with your thoughts and feelings. • You cannot help the world by focusing on the negative things. As 
you focus on the world's negative events, you not only add to them, 
but you also bring more negative things into your own life. • Instead of focusing on the world's problems, give your attention and 
energy to trust, love, abundance, education, and peace. • We will never run out of good things because there's more than 
enough to go around for everyone. Life is meant to be abundant. • You have the ability to tap into the unlimited supply through your 
thoughts and feelings and bring it into your experience. • Praise and bless everything in the world, and you will dissolve 
negativity and discord and align yourself with the highest fre-
quency—love. 153 DR. JOHN HAGELIN 
When we look around us, even at our own bodies, what we see 
is the tip of the iceberg. BOB PROCTOR 
Think of this for a moment. Look at your hand. It looks solid, 
but it's really not. If you put it under a proper microscope, 
you'd see a mass of energy vibrating. JOHN ASSARAF 
Everything is made up of the exact same thing, whether it's 
your hand, the ocean, or a star. DR. BEN JOHNSON 
Even/thing is energy, and let me help you to understand that 
just a little bit. There's the Universe, our galaxy, our planet, 
155 156 The Secret 
and then individuals, and then inside of this body are organ 
systems, then cells, then molecules, and then atoms. And then 
there is energy. So there are a lot of levels to think about, but 
everything in the Universe is energy. When I discovered The Secret I wanted to know what science and 
physics understood in terms of this knowledge. What I found was 
absolutely amazing. One of the most exciting things about living 
in this time is that the discoveries of quantum physics and new 
science are in total harmony with the teachings of The Secret, and 
with what all the great teachers have known throughout history. I never studied science or physics at school, and yet when I read 
complex books on quantum physics I understood them perfectly 
because I wanted to understand them. The study of quantum phys-
ics helped me to have a deeper understanding of The Secret, on an 
energetic level. For many people, their belief is strengthened when 
they see the perfect correlation between the knowledge of The Se-
cret and the theories of new science. Let me explain how you are the most powerful transmission tower 
in the Universe. In simple terms, ail energy vibrates at a frequency. Being energy, you also vibrate at a frequency, and what determines 
your frequency at any time is whatever you are thinking and feel-
ing. All the things you want are made of energy, and they are vi-
brating too. Everything is energy. Here is the "wow" factor. When you think about what you want, 
and you emit that frequency you cause the energy of what you The Secret to You 157 
want to vibrate at that frequency and you bring it to You! As you 
focus on what you want, you are changing the vibration of the 
atoms of that thing, and you are causing it to vibrate to You. The 
reason you are the most powerful transmission tower in the Uni-
verse is because you have been given the power to focus your 
energy through your thoughts and alter the vibrations of what you 
are focused on, which then magnetically draws it to you. When you think about and feel those good things that you want, 
you have immediately tuned yourself to that frequency, which then 
causes the energy of all those things to vibrate to you, and they ap-
pear in your life. The law of attraction says that like attracts like. You are an energy magnet, so you electrically energize everything 
to you and electrically energize yourself to everything you want. Human beings manage their own magnetizing energy, because no 
one outside of them can think or feel for them, and it is thoughts 
and feelings that create our frequencies. Almost one hundred years ago, without the benefit of all the sci-
entific discoveries of the last hundred years, Charles Haanel knew 
how the Universe operated. "The Universal Mind is not only intelligence, 
but it is substance, and this substance is the 
attractive force which brings electrons together 
by the law of attraction so they form atoms; 
the atoms in turn are brought together by the 
same law and form molecules; molecules take 158 The Secret

I don't care what city you're living in, you've got enough

carries power sufficient to meet every situation

Most people define themselves by this finite body, but 
you're not a finite body. Even under a microscope you're an 
energy field. What we know about energy is this: You go to a 
quantum physicist and you say, "What creates the world?" And he or she will say, "Energy." Well, describe energy. objective forms and so we find that the law is the

into form, through form and out of form." You see, it's the 
same description, just different terminology. So if you think you're this "meat suit" running around, 
think again. You're a spiritual being! You're an energy field, 
operating in a larger energy field. How does all of this make you a spiritual being? For me, the an-
swer to that question is one of the most magnificent parts of the 
teachings of The Secret. You are energy, and energy cannot be cre-
ated or destroyed. Energy just changes form. And that means You! The true essence of You, the pure energy of You, has always been 
and always will be. You can never not be. On a deep level, you know that. Can you imagine not being? De-
spite everything you have seen and experienced in your life, can 
you imagine not being? You cannot imagine it, because it is impos-
sible. You are eternal energy. 160 The Secret 
DR. JOHN HAGELIN 
Quantum mechanics confirms it. Quantum cosmology 
confirms it. That the Universe essentially emerges from 
thought and all of this matter around us is just precipitated 
thought. Ultimately toe are the source of the Universe, and 
when we understand that power directly by experience, we 
can start to exercise our authority and begin to achieve more 
and more. Create anything. Know anything from within the 
field of our own consciousness, which ultimately is Universal 
consciousness that runs the Universe. So depending upon how we use that power, positively or 
negatively, that's the kind of body in terms of health, that's 
the kind of environment we create. So we are the creators, not 
only of our own destiny, but ultimately we are the creators 
of Universal destiny. We are the creators of the Universe. So 
there's no limit, really, to human potential. It's the degree to 
which we recognize those deep dynamics and exercise them, 
the degree to which we harness our power. And that really 
has to do again with the level at which we think. Some of the greatest teachers and avatars described the Universe 
in the same way as Dr. Hagelin, by saying that all that exists is the 
One Universal Mind, and there is nowhere that the One Mind is 
not. It exists in everything. The One Mind is all intelligence, all 
wisdom, and all perfection, and it is everything and everywhere The Secret to You 161 
at the same time. If everything is the One Universal Mind, and the 
whole of it exists everywhere, then it is all in You! Let me help you understand what that means for you. It means 
that every possibility already exists. All knowledge, all discover-
ies, and all inventions of the future, are in the Universal Mind 
as possibilities, waiting for the human mind to draw them forth. Every creation and invention in history has also been drawn from 
the Universal Mind, whether the person consciously knew that 
or not. How do you draw from it? You do it through your awareness of 
it, and by using your wonderful imagination.

        Now that you know The Secret, when you see someone who is 
wealthy you will know that that person's predominant thoughts 104 The Secret 
are on wealth and not on scarcity, and that they have drawn wealth 
to them—whether they did it consciously or unconsciously. They 
focused on thoughts of wealth and the Universe moved people, 
circumstances, and events to deliver wealth to them. The wealth that they have, you have also. The only difference be-
tween you and them is that they thought the thoughts to bring the 
wealth to them. Your wealth is waiting for you in the invisible, and 
to bring it into the visible, think wealth. DAVID SCHIRMER 
When I first understood The Secret, every day I would get 
a bunch of bills in the mail I thought, "How do I turn this 
around. " The law of attraction states that what you focus 
on you will get, so I got a bank statement, I whited out the 
total, and I put a new total in there. I put exactly how much 
I wanted to see in the bank. So I thought, "What if I just 
visualized checks coming in the mail. " So I just visualized a 
bunch of checks coming in the mail Within just one month, 
things started to change. It is amazing; today I just get 
checks in the mail. I get a few bills, but I get more checks 
than bills. Since the film The Secret was released, we have received hundreds 
and hundreds of letters from people who have said that since 
watching the film they have received unexpected checks in the 
mail. And it happened because as they gave their focus and atten­
tion to David's story, they brought checks to them. The Secret to Money 105 
A game I created that helped shift my feelings about my pile of 
bills was to pretend that the bills were actually checks. I would 
jump for joy as I opened them and say, "More money for me. Thank you.
