I was invited to review the movie - 'The Secret'

This is what I wrote -

There are patterns in my life that I have wondered over, patterns that I have marveIIled over and until recently, patterns that I didn’t understand. Thanks to my faith and watching this movie, I now have a complete understanding as to why there have been dry periods in my life.

Sometimes we are a little dense. We want to change, but resist changes, but rest in the peace of this fact; the goodness of our success is at hand and we are given opportunity after opportunity to be able to change, work with that change, allow for the change to become the norm for us and reach our goals.

This movie will do so much for you. It will do it in the simplest, yet most radical way possible that you won’t even feel as though a change has occurred, it’s as effortless as existing, it’s as dynamic as the laws of physics, it’s as awesome as the universe, it’s as compelling as breathing, it’s as rudimentary as 1 + 1 = 2, it’s as complete as a seed or as every intrinsic part of the earth you share, it is the reason how the universe exists as well as how lives are destroyed, it is not God, but it is Godly and He wants you to have it, the secret, that you too can have what it is you so desire, yet for some of us, is always just out of reach, just beyond our capabilities.

People are chosen for a really special reason. They come together at the right time, for the right purpose; ;like attracts like.

When I first came to the US in November 2006 to launch this magazine, I was still finding people who I didn’t quite gel with in that they were portraying themselves as I used to think. So I went about asking ‘Why’. The answer was direct and simple, ‘There is still an element of you, that is like that.’ Recognising that it takes time to change, I did everything I could to move forwards from old styles of thinking patterns. I took a short break back to the UK to be with my family and attend my brother’s wedding. Everyone wanted to know how it was going, if I was ok and whether or not it was working out for me.

‘When are you going to receive your first wage packet?” my loving little bro’ asked me. By the end of January was my response. Later when I was on my own, I recoiled at what I had said, you see, I didn’t believe it.

Not wanting to spoil my future, I set to at adjusting this pattern of disbelief. It wasn’t easy, I felt tormented, but I persevered until I was happy that I believed my first wage packet would be at or by the end of January.

Upon my return journey to the US there was a package awaiting me, yes, the DVD of the movie, The Secret. I had so much to attend to, but everything went on hold, I even put the telephone to message and settled down to watching, without interruption, this beautiful, exiting, wonderful gift that you will be able to take with you in your heart, anywhere in the world, at any time apply it and want to share with others more and more.

I was particularly attracted to Lisa Nichols. She didn’t speak more clearly than any of the other participants, she didn’t appear to have any more knowledge than that of the other teachers and she didn’t emphasize any part of the secret any more or less than anyone else, I was just particularly attracted to her. I wondered why and decided to learn more about her.

Before I watched this movie, I had never heard of Lisa Nichols and yet I wonder why.? Take a look at her web site http://www.lisa-nichols.com - and tell me if you don’t spot some similarities between us. I thank God for her life, what an inspiration she is!

Three years ago to the day of getting to the US in November, I had a dream. The magazine had launched in the UK and I was claiming, meditating, and so on as much as I possibly could. I had a dream and it left such an impression on me, that I wrote it down. Coming to the US I knew I had to bring as much varied clothes as possible, you know, business, social, warm, cool, something for every occasion and so I was limited on the amount of literature I could bring with me. I decided on a large amplified copy of a Bible rather than a small purse style one. About 4 days into me being here, I decided to go for a walk and ask God that it was absolutely right for me to be here. Not why, just that it was right. I had walked to the store and was praying this in my mind at the time and started to walk back to the house.

Waiting for the lights to change, I started to be very attracted to the style of brick that made the wall entrance to the estate I am living on. I felt as though I had been there before. I got back to the house, put the groceries away and decided to read for the afternoon. I wanted to meditate as well so I picked up the Bible and turned to the last page. The page had my handwriting on it and described a dream I’d had exactly 3 years ago and how I was standing at a large curved wall holding shopping bags in my hands, that were heavy but were not a burden. I lay back to take it all in and several hours later woke knowing, this is the end as much as the beginning.

To take time in the day to be still and ask whatever it is you need the answer to. It doesn’t matter how small a question or how big it is, just ask. Be still. Listen. Take courage and follow your vision. It may take a while, but you will have fun and it will be worth it. Let us know your progress, we love to hear from you.

Julie, thank you so much for posting this message. I am a huge believer in the Law of Attraction, yet at times, I slip into that depressed state, that anxious space, that vulnerable dimension, where I feel helpless, lost and searching. It doesn't last long. I may bring myself back by listening to beautiful music, or by meditating to Tibetan bowls ("Seven Metals" is fabulous) and find myself soaring and feeling the powerful Presence of the Source and beyond.

Recently, I was told that I had a Master voice coming through. I fought that message thinking that I was being asked to "channel" or give up control of my life. So, I settled on making friends with these higher beings who want to guide me along the way. Perhaps Esther Hicks (my fav) is not the only one who is supposed to channel. Perhaps we ALL are meant to channel in some way. Spewing forth words of wisdom unexpectedly, at just the right moment, to those who need to hear it the most.

I've asked for signs from these beings that they are my friends, here to guide me, and the signs are appearing. Tonight as I waited for "Heroes" to come on NBC, I found myself watching "Super Nanny" instead and wondered why. I had never watched that show before, and found it to be quite moving, compassionate and from the heart. And just at that second when I thought: "I wonder why HEROES is not on tonight?" there was a commercial about a women who remodeled her own home with the help of Home Depot. "If I can be one of my daughters' HEROES, she said, it will all be worth while. Just as I thought the word , she uttered it. WOW! SYNCHRONISTIC ORCHESTRATION at work! Do they have to hit me over the head with a two-by-four to let me know that I'm OK, that I'm on the right path, that I will never be alone, that it will all work out, and (most importantly) that I AM LOVED BEYOND MEASURE.

Your message inspired me Julie. Especially the part where you opened the last page of your Bible. WOW. After reading that, I again went soaring, just like before, but this time, without the Tibetan bowls. Thank you for sharing and for reminding me of who I am and where I come from and inspiring me with your message of "coming home."

With your permission, I would like to post your message and your "review" on my blog.

Many blessings and a HUGE Namaste!

Dear Julie and Linda

There is undoubtedly a great deal of positive messages in The Secret, yet as Linda has pointed out it can be really challenging sometimes for people to apply what they know about the Law of Attraction.

Have a look at this article - I'd love to know what you think... :)

Kind regards


Una
