Is the ‘The Secret’ Spiritual? A great post by my friend Mathew Welsh (reprinted)

The Secret has received a lot of attention over the past
 
 few years.  The Secret is a movie about the Law of Attraction
 
 which states that, “like attracts to like” and that what is
 
 held in the mind tends to show up in your life.

However, one aspect of the Law of Attraction that is
 
 often not fully utilized is to ask a Higher Power for
 
 assistance.  This Law can become far more fruitful when one
 
 asks for the guidance, help or assistance of something greater
 
 than ourself.  Traditional religionists may refer to this
 
 Higher Power as God or the Holy Spirit or Jesus.  People with
 
 other beliefs may refer to this Higher Power as the Universe,
 
 Spirit, or the Creative Presence of Life.

Whatever one calls this Higher Power; know that there
 
 is something greater than you that is available to help guide
 
 you to attract what it is that you really, really, really, want.
 
 Besides,what God wants for you is often forty times greater
 
 than what you want for yourself.

Seeking the assistance of God or Spirit can be especially
 
 helpful in times of difficulty when we are facing problems and
 
 bad times, that, quite frankly, neither we nor the Law of
 
 Attraction will ever be able to provide an adequate explanation
 
 for.

But, when the time is right and the most advantageous
 
 karmic conditions are available, God will help us to attract
 
 these good things into our life. . . if we ask.

That is why one of my favorite prayers is:

“God, I place my future into Your Hands.  I surrender
 
 my will over to You.  Please enter my thoughts, feelings, and
 
 actions.  Thank You for already solving all of my problems
 
 for me.  How may I serve You today?”

Saying these words intently will help create a shift
 
 in your consciousness so that you can move from a state of
 
 wanting your dreams to come true to Knowing they will come
 
 true when the time is right.
