Book Review – “The Secret” By Rhonda Byrne

I’ve been on a path of enlightenment for more than 18 years now.  I’ve read literally tons of books, new age, spiritual, self-help, occult, and anything else I could get my hands on.  They all say basically the same thing that “The Secret” does, but there is a difference in this book, something that none of the others have.  That’s mass appeal.

 

Yes, there are some people who would say that it’s just more of the same, and to a certain extent, it is.  However, this book puts the Universal Laws that I’ve read about many times before, in a way that makes it seem just a little more practical, a little more reachable.  That’s why so many people have read the book, and why it has changed so many lives. 

 

It doesn’t matter how many times you hear the same thing over again, what matters is when you stop hearing it, and start living it.  Think back to when you were a teenager.  I’m sure there is that one thing your parents kept drilling in your heads, that one thing that you HATED to hear, over and over. Now that you are an adult, you probably understand it better, maybe even heard the same words coming out of your mouth to your teenager.  I know I have.  The Secret is just like that.  Not really “new” information, but it makes more sense now.

 

For a lot of people, it’s their first taste of some of the Universal Laws mentioned in the book.  For them, this is a fantastic book.  It doesn’t put any religious leanings in it, so it’ll appeal to just about everyone.  It’s very easy to understand, and gives a lot of wonderful resources to expand further in your studies. 

 

For the person who’s more familiar with the Universal Laws, this is a good quick read, like a refresher course.  For me, it was like a confirmation of my beliefs and understandings.  It also gave me very real, very easy techniques to implement into my everyday life.

 

So if you’re looking for something new, this really isn’t all that new.  But if you’re looking for easy to understand, step by step guide, for the newbie or expert, this is a great book.  I recommend this book to just about everyone I know.

Link of the Day – March 30, 2008 – Spirituality

Co-Creating Our Reality  I found this site last week on accident, and now it’s become one of my most treasured and most visited sites. 

Co-Creating Our Reality” (CCOR) is a global online community (75 countries represented) putting the law of attraction and other universal laws and principles to the test.”

Created by Lilou Mace, Sandy Grason, & Laura Duksta in 2005, to help all of the people in the world who wanted to create a new reality using the Universal Laws from “The Secret“.  CCOR, as it’s lovingly known as, is a networking site where you can share your own challenges and insights, and get all the support you need to stay on track. 

I’ve been learning about “The Secret” by Rhonda Byrne, for about 6 months now.  I’ve read the book, watched the movie, and signed up on the website.  My sister, who got me hooked on all of this, started up a google group to study ”The Master Key System“, by Charles F Haanel, that teaches the universal laws that are in “The Secret“.  I’ve been studying, and trying my hardest to stay positive, to change the way I think, and therefore, change my life.  However, it’s not easy staying constantly positive.  Knowing that you can change your reaity, if you just believe it, is hard to sustain all the time.  That is, until I found CCOR.

At the CCOR website, I have found the way to be able to stay positive, and help others as well.  Whenever I am feeling down, overwelmed, and upset with the way life is going, I just set my browser to the CCOR website, and I find others who are having the same difficulties, people with insights and techniques to help me, and suddenly I”m feeling wonderful again.  One of the lessons, in “The The Master Key System” is to surround yourself with positive people and positive thoughts.  I can do this with CCOR, and so can you! 

If you are wanting to change your life, and have read “The Secret” or even “A New Earth“, then you’ll want to go to Co-Creating Our Reality!  I gaurantee you’ll find yourself on the site all the time!
