Love: The Greatest Emotion

JAMES RAY

PHILOSOPHER, LECTURER, AUTHOR, AND CREATOR OF PROSPERITY AND HUMAN POTENTIAL PROGRAMS

The principle of feeling good applies to your family pets, for instance. Animals are wonderful, because they put you in a great emotional state. When you feel love for your pet, that great state of love will bring goodness into your life. And what a gift that is.

"It is the combination of thought and love which forms the irresistible force of the law of attraction."

Charles Haanel

There is no greater power in the Universe than the power of love. The feeling of love is the highest frequency you can emit. If you could wrap every thought in love, if you could love everything and everyone, your life would be transformed.

In fact, some of the great thinkers of the past referred to the law of attraction as the law of love. And if you think about it, you will understand why. If you think unkind thoughts about someone else, you will experience those unkind thoughts manifested. You cannot harm another with your thoughts, you only harm You. If you think thoughts of love, guess who receives the benefits—you! So if your predominant state is love, the law of attraction or the law of love responds with the mightiest force because you are on the highest frequency possible.

The greater the love you feel and emit, the greater the power you are harnessing.

"The principle which gives the thought the dynamic power to correlate with its object, and therefore to master every adverse human experience, is the law of attraction, which is another name for love. This is an eternal and fundamental principle inherent in all things, in every system of philosophy, in every Religion and in every Science. There is no getting away from the law of love. It is feeling that imparts vitality to thought.

Feeling is desire and desire is love. Thought impregnated with love becomes invincible."

Charles Haanel

MARCI SHIMOFF

Once you begin to understand and truly master your thoughts and feelings, that's when you see how you create your own reality. That's where your freedom is, that's where all your power is.

Marci Shimoff shared a wonderful quote from the great Albert Einstein: "The most important question any human being can ask themselves is, ‘Is this a friendly Universe?'"

Knowing the law of attraction, the only answer to give is, "Yes, the Universe is friendly." Why? Because when you answer in this way, by the law of attraction you must experience that. Albert Einstein posed this powerful question because he knew The Secret. He knew by asking the question it would force us to think and make a choice. He gave us a great opportunity, just by posing the question.

To take Einstein's intention even further, you can affirm and proclaim, "This is a magnificent Universe. The Universe is bringing all good things to me. The Universe is conspiring for me in all things. The Universe is supporting me in everything I do. The Universe meets all my needs immediately." Know that this is a friendly Universe!

JACK CANFIELD

Since I learned The Secret and started applying it to my life, my life has truly become magical. I think the kind of life that everybody dreams of is one I live on a day-to-day basis. I live in a four-and-a-half-million-dollar mansion. I have a wife to die for. I get to vacation in all the fabulous spots of the world. I've climbed mountains. I've explored. I've been on safaris. And all of this happened, and continues to happen, because of knowing how to apply The Secret.

BOB PROCTOR OB PROCTOR

Life can be absolutely phenomenal, and it should be, and it will be, when you start using The Secret.

This is your life, and it's been waiting for you to discover it! Up until now you may have been thinking that life is hard and a struggle, and so by the law of attraction you will have experienced life as hard and a struggle. Begin right now to shout to the universe, "Life is so easy! Life is so good! All good things come to me!"

There is a truth deep down inside of you that has been waiting for you to discover it, and that Truth is this: you deserve all good things life has to offer. You know that inherently, because you feel awful when you are experiencing the lack of good things. All good things are your birthright! You are the creator of you, and the law of attraction is your magnificent tool to create whatever you want in your life. Welcome to the magic of life, and the magnificence of You!

Secret Summaries

·

The law of attraction is a law of nature. It is as impartial as the law of gravity.

·

Nothing can come into your experience unless you summon it through persistent thoughts.

·

To know what you're thinking, ask yourself how you are feeling. Emotions are valuable tools that instantly tell us what we are thinking.

·

It is impossible to feel bad and at the same time have good thoughts.

·

Your thoughts determine your frequency, and your feelings tell you immediately what frequency you are on. When you feel bad, you are on the frequency of drawing more bad things. When you feel good, you are powerfully attracting more good things to you.

·

Secret Shifters, such as pleasant memories, nature, or your favorite music, can change your feelings and shift your frequency in an instant.

·

The feeling of love is the highest frequency you can emit. The greater the love you feel and emit, the greater the power you are harnessing.

You are a creator, and there is an easy process to create using the law of attraction. The greatest teachers and avatars have shared the Creative Process through their wondrous work, in a myriad of forms. Some great teachers created stories to demonstrate how the Universe works. The wisdom contained in their stories has been handed down through the centuries and has become legendary. Many people living today do not realize that the essence of these stories is the very truth of life.

JAMES RAY

If you think about Aladdin and his lamp, Aladdin picks up the lamp, dusts it off, and out pops the Genie. The Genie always says one thing:

"Your wish is my command!"

The story now goes that there are three wishes, but if you trace the story back to its origins there's absolutely no limit whatsoever to the wishes.

Think about that one.

Now, let's take this metaphor and apply it to your life. Remember Aladdin is the one who always asks for what he wants. Then you've got the Universe at large, which is the Genie. Traditions have called it so many things—your holy guardian angel, your higher self. We can put any label on it, and you choose the one that works best for you, but every tradition has told us there's something bigger than us. And the Genie always says one thing:

"Your wish is my command!"

This wonderful story demonstrates how your whole life and everything in it has been created by You. The Genie has simply answered your every command. The Genie is the law of attraction, and it is always present and always listening to everything you think, speak, and act. The Genie assumes that everything you think about, you want! That everything you speak about, you want! That everything you act upon is what you want! You are the Master of the Universe, and the Genie is there to serve you. The Genie never questions your commands. You think it, and the Genie immediately begins to leverage the Universe, through people, circumstances, and events, to fulfill your wish.

The Creative Process

The Creative Process used in The Secret, which was taken from the New Testament in the Bible, is an easy guideline for you to create what you want in three simple steps.

Step 1: Ask

LISA NICHOLS

The first step is to ask. Make a command to the Universe. Let the Universe know what you want. The Universe responds to your thoughts.

BOB PROCTOR

What do you really want? Sit down and write it out on a piece of paper. Write it in the present tense.

You might begin by writing, "I am so happy and grateful now that…" And then explain how you want your life to be, in every area.

You get to choose what you want, but you must get clear about what you want. This is your work. If you're not clear, then the law of attraction cannot bring you what you want. You will be sending out a mixed frequency and you can only attract mixed results. For the first time in your life perhaps, work out what it is you really want.

Now that you know you can have, be, or do anything, and there are no limits, what do you want? Asking is the first step in the Creative Process, so make it a habit to ask. If you have to make a choice and you don't know which way to go, ask! You should never be stumped on anything in your life. Just ask!

DR. JOE VITALE

This is really fun. It's like having the Universe as your catalogue. You flip through it and say, "I'd like to have this experience and I'd like to have that product and I'd like to have a person like that."

It is You placing your order with the Universe. It's really that easy.

You do not have to ask over and over again. Just ask once. It is exactly like placing an order from a catalogue.

You only ever order something once. You don't place an order and then doubt the order has been received and so place the order again, and then again, and then again. You order once. It is the same with the Creative Process.

Step One is simply your step to get clear about what you want. As you get clear in your mind, you have asked.

Step 2: Believe

LISA NICHOLS

Step two is believe. Believe that it's already yours. Have what I love to call unwavering faith.

Believing in the unseen.

You must believe that you have received. You must know that what you want is yours the moment you ask. You must have complete and utter faith. If you had placed an order from a catalogue you would relax, know you are going to receive what you ordered, and get on with your life.

"See the things that you want as already yours. Know that they will come to you at need. Then let them come. Don't fret and worry about them. Don't think about your lack of them. Think of them as yours, as belonging to you, as already in your possession."

Robert Collier (1885–1950)

In the moment you ask, and believe and know you already have it in the unseen, the entire Universe shifts to bring it into the seen. You must act, speak, and think, as though you are receiving it now. Why? The Universe is a mirror, and the law of attraction is mirroring back to you your dominant thoughts. So doesn't it make sense that you have to see yourself as receiving it? If your thoughts contain noticing you do not have it yet, you will continue to attract not having it yet. You must believe you have it already. You must believe you have received it. You have to emit the feeling frequency of having received it, to bring those pictures back as your life. When you do that, the law of attraction will powerfully move all circumstances, people, and events, for you to receive.

When you book a vacation, order a brand new car, or buy a house, you know those things are yours. You wouldn't go and book another vacation for the same time, or purchase another car or house. If you won a lottery or received a large inheritance, even before you physically had the money, you know it is yours. That is the feeling of believing it is yours. That is the feeling of believing you have it already. That is the feeling of believing you have received. Claim the things you want by feeling and believing they are yours. When you do that, the law of attraction will powerfully move all circumstances, people, and events for you to receive.

How do you get yourself to a point of believing? Start make-believing. Be like a child, and make-believe. Act as if you have it already. As you make-believe, you will begin to believe you have received. The Genie is responding to your predominant thoughts all the time, not just in the moment you ask. That's why after you've asked, you must continue to believe and know. Have faith. Your belief that you have it, that undying faith, is your greatest power. When you believe you are receiving, get ready, and watch the magic begin!

"You can have what you want—if you know how to form the mold for it in your own thoughts. There is no dream that may not come true, if you but learn to use the Creative Force working through you. The methods that work for one will work for all. The key to power lies in using what you have…freely, fully…and thus opening wide your channels for more Creative Force to flow through you."

Robert Collier

DR. JOE VITALE

The Universe will start to rearrange itself to make it happen for you.

JACK CANFIELD

Most of us have never allowed ourselves to want what we truly want, because we can't see how it's going to manifest.

BOB PROCTOR

If you do just a little research, it is going to become evident to you that anyone that ever accomplished anything, did not know how they were going to do it. They only knew they were going to do it.

DR. JOE VITALE R. JOE VITALE

You don't need to know how it's going to come about. You don't need to know how the Universe will rearrange itself.

How it will happen, how the Universe will bring it to you, is not your concern or job. Allow the Universe to do it for you. When you are trying to work out how it will happen, you are emitting a frequency that contains a lack of faith—that you don't believe you have it already. You think you have to do it and you do not believe the Universe will do it for you. The how is not your part in the Creative Process.

BOB PROCTOR

You don't know how, it will be shown to you. You will attract the way.

LISA NICHOLS

Most of the time, when we don't see the things that we've requested, we get frustrated. We get disappointed. And we begin to become doubtful. The doubt brings about a feeling of disappointment.
