The Unlimited Power Of Gratitude

Unless you've been living in a cave you've probably
seen the movie "The Secret." It explains how there is
a Law of Attraction that governs the Universe and If
you follow that law you can manifest all your desires.
What they don't tell you is where it came from.

The Secret Law of Attraction comes from the "New Thought"
movement of the late 1800s and early 1900s. In particular
from a book by Wallace D. Wattles called "Science of
Getting Rich," which teaches a scientific method on how
to attract riches to you.

The Secret is a great movie but it does not explain
exactly how to do what it professes. It's kind of an
advertisement for this new way of thought. The DVD is
well produced and the speakers are great, not to mention
their initial "viral marketing" campaign which was amazing.
BUT it's just the tip of the proverbial iceberg.

The Science of Getting Rich (or SOGR) is a step-by-step
handbook. It's like going to school, but without the
bullying and smelly kids ;-D

The main point in SOGR is Gratitude. This is something
that the author stresses over and over again throughout
the short book. He states "Gratitude unifies the mind
of man with the intelligence of Substance, so that man's
thoughts are received by the Formless."

Now this can be a bit confusing to the uninitiated, so
I will quote some explaining principles from the book.

"THERE is a thinking stuff from which all things are
made, and which, in its original state, permeates,
penetrates, and fills the interspaces of the universe."

"A thought in this substance produces the thing that
is imaged by the thought.

"Man can form things in his thought, and by impressing
his thought upon formless substance can cause the
thing he thinks about to be created."

This is very powerful and it's what is referred to in
The Secret. The fact that we can manifest or change
our reality just by thought is the basic Law of Attraction.

BUT, it's Gratitude which "unifies the mind" to
the "formless" ("the Universe," "the Cosmos," "God," etc.)
so your thoughts (and desires) can be heard and manifested
in this reality.

So your first goal is to develop a sense of Gratitude
in your life. With it you will not only manifest your
desires but you will feel a deep connection with the
"formless" and that leads to happiness.

Develop Gratitude and everything else will fall into place.
