Beth & Lee McCain asked:


The Secret, it is called. It lay practically dormant since its inception, long before the Knights of Templar and the Code named for a Tuscan Renaissance man, artist and inventor; long before any void of noble blood would know of its existence.

Then, because of a small, made-for-television movie produced for Australia’s Channel Nine, the secret was out.

Thank goodness, and a willing media.

Beth and I have been practicing, living, and teaching The Secret - its true name is the Law of Attraction - for ten years when the rest of the world caught on. And we whole-heartedly believe that if there is one true law that can heal the world and put and keep all of us who inhabit it back on track, it is the Law of Attraction. It is the one, true earthly (actually, Universal) law that fits all, because the pure tenet of this ancient “New Thought” is that everyone - regardless of race, religion, geography, or political ideology - deserves a happy, secure life where all wants and needs are available for all.

Sounds good - too good, we know… we hear it all the time. Yet if this law - and it is a law, not unlike any other physical law of the Universe - has no bearing in everyday reality and human existence, why has it spanned ages and appeared to work for some of the most revered in our societies? It has clearly ignored borders, religions, and political affiliations over the eons it has been recognized.

Is there something to it?

Yes, there is. Just ask us, and the hundreds of thousands around the world who have connected with all that is good through the Wonderful Law of Attraction. And if you don’t believe us, just ask Oprah.

American cultural icon Oprah Winfrey has openly hailed the Law of Attraction on her highly rated syndicated talk show, as well as in print, on her radio network, and as a guest on the Larry King Show. She is the walking, talking poster child of the Law of Attraction, and she has the successful, happy, giving, and full life that emotes everything that is The Secret. And like all who truly practice the Law of Attraction - present company included - she wants everyone including you to know about it.

A WEIGHTY LOA QUESTION

At our many lectures, meetings, and seminars that we appear at each year, the inevitable question is raised by an audience member. “Can I lose weight with the Law of Attraction?” The answer is a clear and concise Yes!

How do we know this? Because using the Law of Attraction, and the Universal methods of thought to emotion to end result, Beth lost 50 pounds and I lost over 100 pounds. When I began using the LOA for weight loss, I weighed in at 440 pounds. And I continue to lose and manage my weight. My Law of Attraction success in this, my most lifelong troubling struggle, erased any atom of lingering doubt I ever harbored concerning LOA.

First, in case you are a little confused by The Secret, and are perhaps new to the idea of it, we’d better explain how the Law of Attraction works. Everything in the physical world where we exist vibrates. EVERYTHING whether it be dirt, a tree, a human being—these all emit a vibration. Even a rock vibrates—albeit at a much slower and barely perceptible pace—and a human being vibrates at a far more rapid rate.

These vibrational patterns translate to everything that you are feeling, which moves the Universe to, in turn, attract exactly what those feelings are. So if you are thinking (feeling) about how angry you may be at someone, the Universe takes that emotion and emits (returns) directly back to you what you happen to be feeling. You always attract exactly what you are feeling. THIS IS THE LAW OF ATTRACTION.

So if you are feeling wonderful, and thinking about how great your day is, and you are happy and grateful for that wonderful day, the Universe attracts (returns) to you exactly what you are feeling —more days of joy and wonder. What could be better than that? However, as is usually the case, there are a few problems with us humans when it comes to attracting what we desire.

In society today, people usually don’t listen to their intuition. We instead rely on other people to tell us “what is.” It’s kind of like old fable, “The Emperor’s New Clothes,” when an entire kingdom was convinced that despite naked truth, they all agreed that His Majesty’s new clothes were all the rage — the living end! How often do we see our fellow citizens jump into line like lemmings to the sea, and how often do we accept the opinions of others as uncontestable fact? We think you would agree that the fashion mavens have accomplished that, much to the chagrin and disappointment of the fully two-thirds of the American public that cannot fit into the clothes they market.

It’s time that we listen to ourselves and stop listening to what is really just other people’s opinions telling you what to think. This brings us to our first, and most important, question that we will ask of you this lesson: Who are you losing this weight for? Is it for you? Is it for someone else? Are you losing it because you want to feel better, or do you simply want to lose a few pounds for a swimsuit that is calling your name?

The right answer — and in this case there is a right answer — is: FOR YOU. You must only lose weight for you. If you are not losing the weight for you, then you might as well grab a gallon of Baskin-Robbins and go sit in a corner with a big spoon and a TV remote control. It doesn’t matter what anyone thinks you should do. You must commit to losing the weight only for you.

If losing the weight will make you happy, then that is the biggest reason for you to lose the weight. Sure, losing weight for health reasons is always good and noble, but the main reason we want to help you to lose weight is because it will make you happy. See, that’s how the Law of Attraction works. It is all about what you desire; what will cause you to be happy. This, by the way, is not greedy… no matter what the Nay Sayers say. (And they DO love to say, say, say!) This is the Wonderful Law of Attraction, and to be able to create whatever life you want for your self is the Universe’s greatest gift to you.

DOWN GO THE POUNDS (OR KILOS!)

We were at a Wellness of the Mind retreat and we talked about the Law of Attraction and losing weight. There were many people there who lived their life through the Law of Attraction and, as always, there were people new to the LOA, and the usual weight loss questions were posed.

Weight loss through the Law of Attraction will take some of you a shorter amount of time, and for others it may take a little longer. It all depends on your mindset. LOVE yourself, ENJOY yourself, YOU are a wonderful person who creates your Universe. Isn’t that powerful? Your own body regenerates every second. You are a part of that. YOU can regenerate your body to be what you want, you can!

Maybe this is the week that you have a night that you treat yourself for just being you: The you that you are right now, and think about all the things that make YOU happy and joyous.

A doctor once asked Beth if she exercised and she said, “I walk about a half a mile each day.” The doctor replied, “Is that all? You need to exercise AT LEAST a mile each day!” Beth looked at the doctor and said, “Is that all? Are you kidding me? I didn’t move at all before. This half-mile is a big deal for me. When I am darn good and ready to go a mile, when I FEEL like I WANT to, then I will. I know that a half-mile is better than none at all, and my body knows it. Don’t make me try to feel bad. I’m proud of myself!”

Remember to continue doing what is working for you. Just those little steps help immensely over a year’s time, and if that ‘normal’ mind is feeling deprived, eat one bowl of popcorn instead of two, or eat half a candy bar instead of a whole one and save the rest for a couple of hours later. Your ‘normal’ mind will be appeased.

Listen to your body before you eat something. Sometimes it isn’t hungry, but we feed it anyway. ENJOY every bite! Try not to rip-snort through a whole meal in ten seconds flat. ENJOY every little thing that you put in your mouth and be thankful for that wonderful body of yours. You created it with help, and you can fine-tune it just as easily.

Lucretia Torva asked:


By now the movie “The Secret” has been out for over a year. It’s even been discussed on Oprah. Many people are ready to change their lives by using the Law of Attraction. OK, so now what? How come we can think of all the stuff we want and it doesn’t show up? Where’s my Genie!?!?

I believe the root cause of the appearance of failure is the difference between “Wishful thinking” and “Knowing”.

Have you ever wished you had a new car yet knew it would not appear? Sure…when there’s only $56.33 in your bank account and the car you want costs over 40K, duh! You KNOW it won’t materialize. That, my good friend, is wishful thinking.

Starting with a couple obvious examples, you KNOW the sky is blue and you KNOW that night will come at the end of the day. How about some other instances of knowing: have you ever known you were going to have a good time at a particular party, or that you were going to get what you wanted for Christmas, or that you were going to bump into a good friend you hadn’t seen for awhile? You were using the Law of Attraction! You combined certainty with a good feeling. There must be both, just one won’t bring your vision to life.

Now…do it again, deliberately and repeatedly. Consciously focus on your desired outcome and work up some really good feelings about it. Those heartfelt feelings give the Universe guidance about what you want. On the negative side, when you feel really bad about something, those feelings are intense enough to guide the Universe to give you more of whatever you feel about.

I have finally started having some success with the Law of Attraction. I guided my feelings by telling myself I am “falling in love” with my desires. The concept of “falling in love” allows you to feel deeply, those feelings that send a warm sensation through you like a sip of a fine liqueur will. It also keeps that desire in the top of your mind so you focus on it a lot and with great feeling.

Remember, combine the two aspects of Knowing and Feeling Good. As Donald Trump is quoted as saying: “As long as you’re going to be thinking anyway, think big”. A variation could be: “As long as you’re going to be thinking anyway, think about everything you really want!”

Tiat Leong Ang asked:


Why is it that there are some people who are like Law of Attraction Magnets?

They seem to be able to attract at will wealth, health, marvellous jobs, great friends, loving families and warm relationships. Their lives are full of unlimited possibilities and it’s as if life has dealt them a silver spoon. And yet… there we are struggling and scraping by with our miserable lives.

Why are they such abundance magnets?

Through the long periods of observing such people, I discovered 3 major reasons why these people can lead such a prosperous life. It is a secret that you can learn too!

All you have to do is to change your mind. Start by changing the way you feel, think and act. And if you are able to do it, it will bring about a great change in your life.

Here are three major factors to a life of abundance:

1) Live and Follow your Passions.

Have you ever noticed that these people living abundant lives do not settle for mediocrity?

They are always the go getters. They have interesting jobs and are game for anything new. To them, each day is a new day of adventure and they live everyday by squeezing out every bit of joy and goodness that they can from the lives they lead.

Can you do it? Of course you can. Start by thinking about the things you feel passionate about. Don’t limit yourself. Go back to your childhood… what did you used to love to do then? How about now? Are there hobbies or activities that you love?

If you cannot think of any ideas right away, not to worry. Open your minds.

Explore! Try something new? Check out the new class at the community center.

Go where you have not done before. Let your heart lead you in whatever you do, and before you know it you’ll be living passionately too.

2) Believe in the Amazing Possibilities.

One of the factors you will discover in these Law of Attraction Magnets is that while they are leading an abundant life right now, they know that they can always get more abundant and prosperous!

They truly believe in the limitless possibilities that exist for their lives, and they quickly take advantage of opportunities that come their way.

Start increasing your awareness by allowing yourself to feel that everything is possible in your life. Your life is not static but is in a constant state of dynamic flux - nothing, ever, stays the same. Keep this affirmation.

Embrace change and look within. When you put into action all the opportunities for improving your life, you will automatically attract even greater opportunities.

3) Believe You Deserve It.

Basically, people fail in the Law of Attraction because they think that it is not possible for them to receive all the goodness in their lives because they do not deserve it.

Prosperous people have absolutely no doubts whatsoever that they deserve the goodness in their lives. They are open to attracting all the blessings and abundance they believe they deserve. This they receive and accept with grace and gratefulness.

Most people do not feel that they have ‘Worth’ issues. I didn’t… until a friend asked me, “How do you react when someone gives you a compliment or an unexpected gift? Do you express your thanks and gratitude, or do you try to refuse it or dismiss it?”

Well… I was the latter and did not fully appreciate that I was capable of much much more.

But this friend showed me that if I was in the habit of rejecting compliments or any goodness in any form, I might have an unspoken belief that I did not deserve any of those things.

And that was when I slowly changed my mind to start accepting gratefully the goodness and abundance others showed me.

Believe in yourself. And believe that you deservce much much more than what you have now. Make this affirmation tou yourself everyday!

More importantly, be humble and accept with gratitude for the blessings that come you way. When good things come - embrace them!

Trust me, if you keep up with these activities on a daily basis, you will transform yourself into one of those people that seem to be a Law of Attraction Magnet embedded in them, attracting abundance and prosperity all the day long.

S. Michael Windsor asked:


Recently a woman hit another person’s car in a parking lot here in L.A. The funny thing is that the person who actually hit the car happened to be famous and decided to look at her own car and move along. She allegedly did not even regard the other individual’s car, which had been parked simply because she needed to get some shopping done at the strip mall. The famous person went along her merry way and was captured by the paparazzi and now is being charged for hit-and-run. So, what is the matter with some people? Did we as the public do this to them or did they do this to themselves? My own personal belief is that, you got it, she did it to her self.

This is yet another case of the law of attraction at its finest. Now I am not saying I have been side-by-side with this particular individual nor have I been inside her head, but one thing is for sure, there is a lot of negativity surrounding this girl daily. Why would this be? She can’t possibly be focusing on just bad things happening! Right, but in many cases a person could not be focusing on anything positive at all and bringing all the lovely negativities in life right to their doorstep. How does a person change this?

People can change their negative experiences by, oh yeah, focusing on positive outcomes. Things people want are what they need to focus on. But what one DOES with these new opportunities is another story. We need to be ready to accept new opportunities reflecting what we have been focusing on as they come or they may very well disappear. One thing I would like to mention about what one person told me about the law of attraction is that “if you think about it long enough and hard enough it will become an actual thing!” Okay smarty pants, I want a money tree to pop out of my dresser in my bedroom. I am not ridiculing anyone I am merely stating that the opportunities the law of attraction brings upon you need to be…ACTED upon. Yes! People need to take action in order to get the outcome they so desire.

I work in Hollywood and have always had quite a time gaining access to ANYTHING in the business, but I have gotten through the doors I had focused on and succeeded. Now I am involved in other interests as well like this writing here. I read constantly and understand a lot of the principles that are the hot selling item out there. In reference to many of the ‘get rich quick’ programs out there, I really do not like the way they make people pay and pay only to make the person more needy when the answers are right there before their very eyes. Gain the knowledge, focus, and take ACTION. Ok well it’s time to go, got to get to Malibu.
