subject: The Book That Inspired "the Secret" [print this page] Have you ever thrown a pebble into a pond and watched the waves race away? Sometimes ideas impact our society in just such a profound way. The Secret by Rhonda Byrne has had that kind of impact on us. First released as a movie and then followed with a book, The Secret has radically changed many peoples lives already, and the phenomenon continues to grow.
Many people didnt pay a lot of consideration to that little comment at the start that said she was given a glimpse of a great secret . I know I sure didnt. But I found out that there was a book that gave her that glimpse! The book came out over 100 years ago and, like the purloined letter, has been sitting in the open ever since. Bob Proctor, a guru in The Secret, says it has been inspiring him for over 30 years.
I got a copy of this self help book and started reading it, and its making changes in my life already! From a historical perspective, this book was written when many people were redefining new ways of looking at their relationship with life. Many of the New Thought pioneers like Edgar Cayce, Ernest Holmes and the Filmores were bringing new ideas to public awareness.
One of the important themes in this self help book is that it is our duty to experience abundance in our lives| Although we read many theories about spiritual riches, many people still think it is the opposite of material prosperity. In this book we are shown that if we learn how to think in a certain way we will learn to work with the formative substance of the universe to create spiritual prosperity in our lives.
Here are some of the headings in this book:
The Right To Be Rich
The First Principle
Gratitude
Thinking In The Certain Way
Acting In A Certain Way
Getting Into The Right Business
The Impression Of Increase
Here are some of the precious gems from this book:
No man or woman can rise to his greatest possible height in talent or soul development unless he has plenty of money; for to unfold the soul and to develop talent he must have many things to use, and he cannot have these things unless he has money to buy them with.
It is the desire of God that you should get rich. He wants you to get rich because he can express himself better through you if you have plenty of things to use in giving him expression. He can live more in you if you have unlimited command of the means of life.
