What the Secret didn't tell you.
For a long time I’ve known that the Secret and many of these other books are to say the least lacking a few things. Today I had it brought to my doorstep and laid there like those smelly Halloween burning bag tricks. Let me give you a bit of background.
For the past two to three weeks I have been sleeping 18 or more hours a day and am exhausted when I awaken. I have had no explanation for what is wrong with me. I have plenty to do and when I finally manage to awaken, and is it ever a struggle, I get to work and accomplish as much as I can before I just fall over. Awakening is like trying to surface through quicksand. Today I discovered that a dear friend who I would do anything I could for, has not slept in almost 2 weeks because the heat where they are at.
Now, as a person with 2 degrees in psychology, I can tell you that after two weeks without sleep, you are seeing things, hearing things and not carrying on a conversation coherently. However, except for being tired, they are doing fine. Why: because I have been sleeping for them? Talk about getting hit in the face with the truth. Wow!
There are two principles none of these disciplines address but have been known since the beginning of time: 1) balance and 2) equilibrium.
Everything in nature exists in balance. Whenever too much winds up on one side of the scale, plop, something drops off and it returns to balance.
All things in nature seek equilibrium. That is why water runs down into the lower level, raising it to equilibrium with the higher level. That is how our very cells work. As we use up nutrients, more are sucked into the cell from the outside. Okay, sucked is a simple explanation but do you really want the scientific one? It is a few pages long.
The Universe is not infinite. It is just constantly moving resources around. Let me give you another example that has recently happened to several of us. We have all been supporting another friend who can’t seem to make ends meet and we have all been going down, down and further down financially to the point of lost jobs and lost opportunities. Remember a lot that happens in the Universe is energetic not solid. Now everyone, being such nice people, is wondering what is going on with this. Then we all discovered our “friend” is making between 2 and 5 times what he claims; much more than a few who have been supporting him. He succeeded in spending a $100,000.00 in less than three months and his illness that take him to the emergency room are little side trips for pills. He just likes his lifestyle of booze and medicines. He has been sucking our success (energy) out of us and as soon as everyone cut him off, opportunities and jobs began dropping in out of nowhere into our lives.
So, don’t be misled into thinking things are as simple as these books make them out to be. There is a lot more going on there and I, for one, am going to budget my energy and resources very carefully because a black hole is a black hole no matter what it sucks. I am also going to be on the lookout for people who, whether they intend to or not, suck the rest of us dry. I know my dear friend would have slit their wrists before taking my energy from me. I just wasn’t paying attention. The other one would have gladly bankrupted all of us for another bottle of booze or fashionable shoes. The rule is: Pay Attention! Know who and what you are associating with. “Where attention goes so goes energy.” Huna.
