Powerful Processes

DR. JOE VITALE

A lot of people feel stuck or imprisoned or confined by their

current circumstances. Whatever your circumstances right

now, that is only your current reality, and current reality will

begin to change as a result of beginning to use The Secret

Your current reality or your current life is a result of the thoughts

you have been thinking. All of that will totally change as you begin

to change your thoughts and your feelings.

"That a man can change himself... and master his

own destiny is the conclusion of every mind who

is wide-awake to the power of right thought."

Christian D. Larson (1866-1954)

When you want to change your circumstances, you must

first change your thinking. Every time you look inside

your mail expecting to see a bill, guess what — it'll be

there. Each day you go out dreading the bill! You're never

expecting anything great. You're thinking debt, you're

expecting debt. So debt must show up so you won't think

you're crazy. And every day you confirm your thought: Is

debt going to be there? Yes, debt's there. Is debt going to

be there? Yes, debt's there. Is debt going to be there? Yes,

debt's there. Wiry? Because you expected debt to be there.

So it showed up, because the law of attraction is always

being obedient to your thoughts. Do yourself a favor—

expect a check!

Expectation is a powerful attractive force, because it draws things

to you. As Bob Proctor says, "Desire connects you with the thing

desired and expectation draws it into your life." Expect the things

you want and don't expect the things you don't want. What do

you expect now?

JAMES RAY

Most people look at their current state of affairs and they

say, "This is who I am." That's not who you are. That's

who you were. Let's say for instance that you don't

have enough money in your bank account, or you don't

have the relationship that you want, or your health and

fitness aren't up to par. That's not who you are; that's the

residual outcome of your past thoughts and actions. So

Powerful Processes 73

we're constantly living in this residual, if you will, of the

thoughts and actions we've taken in the past. When you

look at your current state of affairs and define yourself by

that, then you doom yourself to have nothing more than

the same in future.

'"All that we are is a result of what we have thought."

Buddha (563 BCE-483 BCE)

I would like to share a process with you that came from the great

teacher Neville Goddard in a lecture he delivered in 1954, entitled

"The Pruning Shears of Revision." This process has had a pro-

found effect on my life. Neville recommends at the end of every

day, before you go to sleep, to think through the events of the

day. If any events or moments did not go the way you wanted,

replay them in your mind in a way that thrills you. As you re-

create those events in your mind exactly as you want, you are

cleaning up your frequency from the day and you are emitting a

new signal and frequency for tomorrow. You have intentionally

created new pictures for your future. It is never too late to change

the pictures.

The Powerful Process Of Gratitude

DR. JOE VITALE

What can you do right now to begin to turn your life

around? The very first thing is to start making a list of

things to be grateful for. This shifts your energy and starts to

shift your thinking. Whereas before this exercise you might

be focusing on what you don't have, your complaints, and

your problems, you go in a different direction when you do

this exercise. You start to be grateful for all the things that

you feel good about.

"If it is a new thought to you that gratitude

brings your whole mind into closer harmony

with the creative energies of the Universe,

consider it well, and you will see that it is true.'

Wallace Wattles (1860-1911)

MARCI SHIMOFF

Gratitude is absolutely the way to bring more into

your life.

DR- JOHN GRAY

PSYCHOLOGIST, AUTHOR, AND

INTERNATIONAL SPEAKER

Every man knows that when his wife is

appreciating him for the little things that he does, what

does he want to do? He wants to do more. It's always about

appreciation. It pulls things in. It attracts support.

DR. JOHN DEMARTINI

Whatever we think about and thank about we bring about.

JAMES RAY

Gratitude has been such a powerful exercise for me. Every

morning I get up and say "Thank you." Every morning,

when my feet hit the floor, "Thank you." And then I start

running through what I'm grateful for, as I'm brushing

my teeth and doing the things I do in the morning. And I'm

not just thinking about them and doing some rote routine.

I'm putting it out there and I'm feeling the feelings of

gratitude.

The day we filmed James Ray sharing his powerful exercise of

gratitude is one I will never forget. From that day on, I made

James's process my life. Every morning, I do not get out bed until

I have felt the feelings of gratitude for this brand new day and all I

am grateful for in my life. Then as I get out of bed, when one foot

touches the ground I say, "Thank," and "you" as my second foot

touches the ground. With each step I take on my way to the bath-

Powerful Processes 76

room, I say "Thank you." I continue to say and feel "Thank you" as

I am showering and getting ready. By the time I am ready for the

day, I have said "Thank you" hundreds of times.

As I do this, I am powerfully creating my day and all that it will

contain. I am setting my frequency for the day and intentionally

declaring the way I want my day to go, rather than stumbling out

of bed and letting the day take control of me. There is no more

powerful way to begin your day than this. You are the creator of

your life, and so begin by intentionally creating your day!

Gratitude was a fundamental part of the teachings of all the great

avatars throughout history. In the book that changed my life, The

Science of Getting Rich, written by Wallace Wattles in 1910, gratitude

is its longest chapter. Every teacher featured in The Secret uses grat-

itude as part of his or her day. Most of them begin their day with

thoughts and feelings of gratitude.

Joe Sugarman, a wonderful man and successful entrepreneur,

watched the film The Secret and contacted me. He told me his fa-

vorite part was the gratitude process, and that his use of gratitude

had contributed to all he had achieved in his life. With all the success

Joe has attracted to himself, he continues to use gratitude every day,

even for the smallest things. When he gets a parking space he always

says and feels, "Thank you." Joe knows the power of gratitude and

all it has brought to him, and so gratitude is his way of life.

With all that I have read and with all that I have experienced in my

own life using The Secret, the power of gratitude stands above eve-

Powerful Processes 77

rything else. If you only do one thing with the knowledge of The

Secret use gratitude until it becomes your way of life.

DR. JOE VITALE

As soon as you start to feel different about what you already

have, you will start to attract more of the good things. More

of the things you can he grateful for. You could look around

and say, "Well, I don't have the car I want. I don't have the

house I want. I don't have the spouse I want. I don't have the

health I want" Whoah! Back up, back up! Those are all the

things you don't want. Focus on what you already have that

you're grateful for. And it might be that you have the eyes

to read this. It might be the clothes that you have. Yes, you

might prefer something else and you might get something

else pretty soon, if you start feeling grateful for what you

have.

"Many people who order their lives rightly in all

other ways are kept in poverty by their lack of

gratitude."

Wallace Wattles

It is impossible to bring more into your life if you are feeling un-

grateful about what you have. Why? Because the thoughts and

feelings you emit as you feel ungrateful are all negative emotions.

Whether it is jealousy, resentment, dissatisfaction, or feelings of

"not enough" those feelings cannot bring you what you want.

Powerful Processes 78
They can only return to you more of what you do not want. Those

negative emotions are blocking your own good coming to you. If

you want a new car but you are not grateful for the car you have,

that will be the dominant frequency you are sending out.

Be grateful for what you have now. As you begin to think about all

the things in your life you are grateful for, you will be amazed at

the never-ending thoughts that come back to you of more things

to be grateful for. You have to make a start, and then the law of at-

traction will receive those grateful thoughts and give you more just

like them. You will have locked into the frequency of gratitude and

all good things will be yours.

"The daily practice of gratitude is one of the

conduits by which your wealth will come to

you."

Wallace Wattles

LEE BROWER

WEALTH TRAINER AND SPECIALIST,

AUTHOR. AN D TEACH ER

I think everybody goes through times when

they say, "Things aren 't working right," or,

"Things are going had." Once, when there were some

things going on in my family, I found a rock, and I just sat

holding it. I took this rock, I stuck it in my pocket, and I said,

"Every time I touch this rock I'm going to think of something

Powerful Processes 79

that I'm grateful for." So every morning when I get up in the

morning, I pick it up off the dresser, I put it in my pocket, and

I go through the things that I'm grateful for. At night, what

do I do? I empty my pocket, and there it is again.

I've had some amazing experiences with this idea. A guy from

South Africa saw me drop it. He asked, "What is that?" I

explained it to him, and he started calling it a gratitude rock.

Two weeks later I got an email from him, in South Africa.

And he said, "My son is dying from a rare disease. It's a

type of hepatitis. Would you send me three gratitude rocks?"

They were just ordinary rocks I found off the street, so I said,

"Sure." I had to make sure that the rocks were very special, so

I went out to the stream, picked out the right rocks, and sent

them off to him.

Four or five months later I get an email from him. He said,

"My son's better, he's doing terrific." And he said, "But you

need to know something. We've sold over a thousand rocks at

ten dollars apiece as gratitude rocks, and we've raised all this

money for charity. Thank you very much."

So it's very important to have an "attitude of gratitude."

The great scientist Albert Einstein revolutionized the way we view

time, space, and gravity. From his poor background and poor be-

ginnings, you would have thought it impossible for him to achieve

all that he did. Einstein knew a great deal of The Secret, and he

said, "Thank you" hundreds of times each day. He thanked all

Powerful Processes 80

the great scientists who had preceded him for their contributions,

which had enabled him to learn and achieve even more in his

work, and eventually become one of the greatest scientists who

has ever lived.

One of the most powerful uses of gratitude can be incorporated in

the Creative Process to turbo-charge what you want. As Bob Proc-

tor advised in the first step of the Creative Process, Ask, start by

writing down what you want. "Begin each sentence with, I am so

happy and grateful now that..." (and you fill in the rest).

When you give thanks as though you have already received what

you want, you are emitting a powerful signal to the Universe. That

signal is saying that you have it already because you are feeling

gratitude for it now. Each morning before you get out of bed, make

it a habit to feel the feelings of gratitude in advance for the great day

ahead, as though it is done.

From the moment I discovered The Secret and formulated the vi-

sion to share this knowledge with the world, I gave thanks every

day for the film The Secret, which would bring joy to the world. I

had no idea how we would bring this knowledge to the screen, but

trusted that we would attract the way. I stayed focused and held

to the outcome. I felt deep feelings of gratitude in advance. As that

became my state of being, the floodgates opened and all the magic

flowed into our lives. For the magnificent team of The Secret, and

for me, our deep, heartfelt feelings of gratitude continue to this

day. We have become a team that resonates gratitude with every

moment, and it has become our way of life.

Powerful Processes 81

The Powerful Process Of Visualization

Visualization is a process that has been taught by all the great

teachers and avatars throughout the centuries, as well as by all the

great teachers living today. In Charles Haanel's book, The Master

Key System, written in 1912, he gives twenty-four weekly exercises

to master visualization. (More important, his complete Master Key

System will also help you become the master of your thoughts.)

The reason visualization is so powerful is because as you create

pictures in your mind of seeing yourself with what it is you want,

you are generating thoughts and feelings of having it now. Visu-

alization is simply powerfully focused thought in pictures, and it

causes equally powerful feelings. When you are visualizing, you

are emitting that powerful frequency out into the Universe. The

law of attraction will take hold of that powerful signal and return

those pictures back to you, just as you saw them in your mind.

DR. DENIS WAITLEY

I took the visualization process from the Apollo program,

and instituted it during the 1980s and '90s into the Olympic

program. It was called Visual Motor Rehearsal.

When you visualize then you materialize. Here's an

interesting thing about the mind: we took Olympic athletes

Powerful Processes 82

and had them run their event only in their mind, and then

hooked them up to sophisticated biofeedback equipment.

Incredibly, the same muscles fired in the same sequence when

they were running the race in their mind as when they were

running it on the track. How could this be? Because the mind

can't distinguish whether you're really doing it or whether it's

just a practice. If you've been there in the mind you'll go there

in the body.

Think about the inventors and their inventions: The Wright

Brothers and the plane. George Eastman and film. Thomas

Edison and the light bulb. Alexander Graham Bell and the tele-

phone. The only way anything has ever been invented or cre-

ated is because one person saw a picture in his mind. He saw it

clearly, and by holding that picture of the end result in his mind,

all the forces of the Universe brought his invention into the

world, through him.

These men knew The Secret. These were men who had utter faith

in the invisible, and who knew the power within them to leverage

the Universe and bring the invention into the visible. Their faith

and their imagination have been the cause of the evolution of hu-

mankind, and we reap the benefits of their creative minds every

single day.

You may be thinking, "I do not have a mind like these great in-

ventors." You may be thinking, "They could imagine those things,

but I can't." You could not be further from the truth, and as you

continue on this great discovery of the knowledge of The Secret,

Powerful Processes 83

you will learn that you not only have the mind they had, but

much more.

MIKE DOOLEY

When you 're visualizing, token you 've got that picture

playing out in your mind, always and only dwell upon the

end result.

Here's an example. Look at the back of your hands, right now.

Really look at the back of your hands: the color of your skin,

the freckles, the blood vessels, the rings, the fingernails. Take

in all those details. Right before you close your eyes, see those

hands, your fingers, wrapping around the steering wheel of

your brand new car.

DR. JOE VITALE

This is such a holographic experience—so real in this

moment—that you don't even feel as if you need the car,

because it feels like you have it already.

Dr. Vitale's words brilliantly sum up the place you want to get

yourself to when visualizing. When it feels like a jolt as you open

your eyes in the physical world, your visualization became real.

But that state, that plane, is the real. It is the field where everything

is created, and the physical is just the result of the real held of all

creation. That's why you won't feel as if you need it anymore, be-

cause you tuned in and felt the real field of creation through your

visualization. In that field, you have everything now. When you

feel that, you will know it.

Powerful Processes 84

JACK CAN FIELD

It's the feeling that really creates the attraction, not just

the picture or the thought. A lot of people think, "If I think

positive thoughts, or if I visualize having what I want, that

will be enough." But if you're doing that and still not feeling

abundant, or feeling loving or joyful, then it doesn't create the

power of the attraction.

BOB DOYLE

You put yourself in the feeling place of really being in that

car. Not "I wish I could get that car," or, "Some day I'll have

that car," because that's a very definite feeling associated with

that. It's not in the now. It's in the future. If you stay in that

feeling, it will always be in the future.

MICHAEL BERNARD BECKWITH

Now that feeling and that inner seeing will begin to be an

open doorway through which the power of the Universe will

begin to express.

"What this power is I cannot say. All know is that it exists."

Alexander Graham Bell (1847-1922)

JACK CANFIELD

Our job is not to figure out the how. The how will show up

MIKE DOOLEY

The "hows" are the domain of the Universe. It always knows

the shortest, quickest, fastest, most harmonious way between

you and your dream.

DR. JOE VITALE

If you turn it over to the Universe, you will be surprised and

dazzled by what is delivered to you. This is where magic and

miracles happen.

The teachers of The Secret are all aware of the elements you bring

into play when you visualize. As you see the picture in your mind

and feel it, you are bringing yourself to a place of believing you

have it now. You are also implementing trust and faith in the Uni-

verse, because you are focusing on the end result and experiencing

the feeling of that, without giving any attention whatsoever to

"how" it will come about. Your picture in your mind is seeing it

as done. Your feelings are seeing it as done. Your mind and your

entire state of being are seeing it as already happened. That is the art

of visualization.

DR. JOE VITALE

You want to do this virtually daily, but it should never

be a chore. What's really important to the whole Secret is

feeling good. You want to feel exhilarated by this whole

process. You want to be high, happy, in tune, as much as

possible.

Powerful Processes 86

Everyone has the power to visualize. Let me prove it to you with

a picture of a kitchen. For this to work, first of all you have to get

all thoughts of your kitchen out of your mind. Do not think of your

kitchen. Totally clear your mind of pictures of your kitchen, with

its cupboards, refrigerator, oven, tiles, and color scheme .. .

You saw a picture of your kitchen in your mind, didn't you? Well,

then you just visualized!

"Everyone visualizes whether he knows it or

not. Visualizing is the great secret of success.

Genevieve Behrend (1881-1960)

"Here's a tip about visualizing, which Dr. John Demartini shares in

his Breakthrough Experience seminars. John said that if you create

a static picture in your mind it can be difficult to hold that picture,

so create lots of movement in your picture.

To illustrate this, imagine your kitchen again, and this time imag-

ine yourself entering that kitchen, walking to the refrigerator and

putting your hand on the door handle, opening the door, looking

inside, and finding a cold bottle of water. Reach in and grab it. You

can feel the coldness on your hand as you grasp the bottle. You

have the bottle of water in one hand, and you use your other hand

to close the refrigerator door. Now that you are visualizing your

kitchen with detail and movement it's easier to see and hold the

picture, isn't it?

"We all possess more power and greater

possibilities than we realize, and visualizing is

one of the greatest of these powers."

The Powerful Process In Action

MARCI SHIMOFF

The only difference between people who live in this way, who

live in the magic of life, and those who don't is that the people

who live in the magic of life have habituated ways of being.

They've made a habit of using the law of attraction, and magic

happens with them wherever they go. Because they remember

to use it. They use it all the time, not just as a one-time event.

Here are two true stories that clearly demonstrate the powerful law

of attraction and the immaculate matrix of the Universe in action.

The first story is about a woman named Jeannie, who bought a

DVD of The Secret and was watching it at least once a day so that

she would absorb the message right into the cells of her body. She

was particularly impressed with Bob Proctor, and she thought it

would be wonderful to meet him.

One morning Jeannie collected her mail, and to her utter amaze-
ment the mailman had accidentally delivered Bob Proctor's mail

Powerful Processes 88
to her address. What Jeannie didn't know is that Bob Proctor lived
just four blocks away from her! Not only that, but Jeannie's house
number was the same number as Bob's. She immediately took
the mail to deliver it to the correct address. Can you imagine her
utter delight when the door opened and Bob Proctor was standing
before her? Bob is rarely at home as he travels all over the world
teaching, but the matrix of the Universe knows only perfect timing.
From Jeannie's thought of how wonderful it would be to meet Bob
Proctor, the law of attraction moved people, circumstances, and
events throughout the Universe so that it happened.

The second story involves a ten-year-old boy named Colin, who
had seen and loved The Secret. Colin's family made a weeklong
visit to Disney World, and on their first day they experienced long
lines at the park. So that night, just before Colin fell asleep, he
thought, "Tomorrow I'd love to go on all the big rides and never
have to wait in line."

The next morning, Colin and his family were at the gates of
Epcot Center as the park opened, and a Disney staff member ap-
proached and asked them if they would be Epcot's First Family of
the Day. As First Family they would be given VIP status, a special
escort by a staff member, and walk-on passes for every big ride in
Epcot. It was everything and more that Colin had wished for!

Hundreds of families were waiting to enter Epcot that morning,
but Colin didn't have the slightest doubt as to why his family had
been chosen First Family. He knew it was because he had used The
Secret.

Powerful Processes 89
Imagine discovering—at the age of ten—that the power to move
worlds lies within you!

"Nothing can prevent your picture from coming
into concrete form except the same power which
gave it birth—yourself."

Genevieve Behrend

JAMES RAY

People hold that for a while; and they're really a champion
at it. They say, "I'm fired up. I saw this program and I'm
going to change my life." And yet results aren't showing.
Beneath the surface it's just about ready to break through, but
the person will look just at the surface results and say, "This
stuff doesn 't work." And you know what? The Universe says,
"Your wish is my command," and it disappears.

When you allow a thought of doubt to enter your mind, the law
of attraction will soon line up one doubtful thought after another.
The moment a thought of doubt comes, release it immediately.
Send that thought on its way. Replace it with "I know I am receiving
now." And feel it.

JOHN ASSARAF

Knowing the law of attraction, I wanted to really put it to
use and to see what would happen. In 1995 I started to create
something called a Vision Board, where I take something that

Powerful Processes 90
I want to achieve, or something that I want to attract, like
a car or a watch or the soul mate of my dreams, and I put a
picture of what I want up on this board. Every day I would
sit in my office and I would look up at this board and I would
start to visualize. I would really get into the state of having
already acquired it.

I was getting ready to move. We put all the furniture, all the
boxes, into storage, and I made three different moves over a
period of five years. And then I ended up in California and
bought this house, renovated it for a year, and then had all
the stuff brought from my farmer home five years earlier. One
morning my son Keenan came into my office, and one of the
boxes that was sealed for five years was right at the doorstep.
He asked, "What's in the boxes, Daddy?" And I said, "Those
are my Vision Boards/' He then asked, "What's a Vision
Board?" I said, "Well, it's where I put alt my goals up. I cut
them out and I put all my goals up as something that I want
to achieve in my life." Of course at five and a half years old
he didn't understand, and so I said, "Sweetheart, let me just
show you, that'll be the easiest way to do it."

I cut the box open, and on one Vision Board was a picture
of a home that I was visualizing five years earlier. What was
shocking was that we were living in that house. Not a house
like it—I actually bought my dream home, renovated it, and
didn't even know it. I looked at that house and I started to
cry, because I was just blown away. Keenan asked, "Why are
you crying?" "I finally understand how the law of attraction

Powerful Processes 91
works. I finally understand the power of visualization. I
finally understand everything that I've read, everything that
I've worked with my whole life, the way I've built companies.
It worked for my home as well, and I bought our dream home
and didn 't even know it."

"Imagination is everything. It is the preview of
life's coming attractions."

Albert Einstein (1879-1955)

You can let your imagination go wild with a Vision Board, and
place pictures of all the things you want, and pictures of how you
want your life to be. Make sure you put the Vision Board in a place
where you see it and look at it every day as John Assaraf did. Feel
the feelings of having those things now. As you receive, and feel
gratitude for receiving, you can remove pictures and add new
ones. This is a wonderful way to introduce children to the law of
attraction. I hope the creation of a Vision Board inspires parents
and teachers worldwide.

One of the people on The Secret website Forum put a picture of
The Secret DVD on his Vision Board. He had seen The Secret but
didn't own his own copy. Two days after he created his Vision
Board, I felt inspired to post a notice on The Secret Forum giving
away DVDs to the first ten people who posted. He was one of the
ten! He had received a copy of The Secret DVD within two days of
putting it on his Vision Board. Whether it is a DVD of The Secret or
a house, the joy of creating and receiving is magnificent!

Powerful Processes 92
Another powerful example of visualizing comes from my moth-
er's experience of buying a new house. Several people besides
my mother had put in offers for this particular house. My mother
decided to use The Secret to make that house hers. She sat down
and wrote her name and the new address of the house over and
over. She continued doing this until it felt as though it was her ad-
dress. She then imagined placing all of her furniture in that new
house. Within hours of doing these things, she received a phone
call saying her offer had been accepted. She was so thrilled, but it
didn't come as a surprise to her because she knew that house was
hers. What a champion!

JACK CAN FIELD

Decide what you want. Believe you can have it. Believe you
deserve it and believe it's possible for you. And then close
your eyes every day for several minutes, and visualize having
what you already want, feeling the feelings of already having
it. Come out of that and focus on what you're grateful for
already, and really enjoy it. Then go into your day and release
it to the Universe and trust that the Universe will figure out
how to manifest it.

Secret Summaries

Expectation is a powerful attractive force. Expect the things you

want, and don't expect the things you don't want.

Gratitude is a powerful process for shifting your energy and bring-

ing more of what you want into your life. Be grateful for what you

already have, and you will attract more good things.

Giving thanks for what you want in advance turbo-charges your

desires and sends a more powerful signal out into the Universe.

Visualization is the process of creating pictures in your mind of

yourself enjoying what you want. When you visualize, you gener-

ate powerful thoughts and feelings of having it now. The law of at-

traction then returns that reality to you, just as you saw it in your

mind.

To use the law of attraction to your advantage, make it a habitual

way of being, not just a one-time event.

At the end of every day, before you go to sleep, go back through the

events of the day. Any events or moments that were not what you

wanted, replay them in your mind the way you wanted them to go.
