The role of action according to the secret - 1

I see that the role of action when using the law of attraction is a little misunderstood and misguided.

Law of attraction is simple: thoughts become things.

If you know this and still talk about action that much, this just means that you are on the “personal development” bandwagon instead of “the secret” bandwagon.

In other words, that means you have understood nothing about the law of attraction and you are not using the secret.

This means you just use recent scientific developments in the area of cognitive sciences, only to struggle more efficiently and thus become more successful.

James Ray says in an interview:

For instance, there’s been a lot of teaching about visualizing in the last decade, so a lot of people have gotten pretty good at it. I can’t tell you how many people see me in The Secret and tell me “I’m sitting in my living room visualizing my new life every day.” Let me let you in on another secret… you sit around and visualize and they’ll come take your furniture away! While this person may be able to think and feel their visualization in spades they’re not taking any action. It’s not going to happen.

Another meaning of emphasizing action too much is that you are not after wealth. You just seek more money and different experiences.

So why this intellectual people put that much emphasis on action?

Having to take action and and bring success with that action is an experience. A nice experience that can make you feel really good. It is an experience that you can attract into your life via the law of attraction. Maybe you can feel that you are somebody important. Maybe it is the feeling that you are the boss, managing other people. Maybe this is what you understand from abundance and prosperity.

These are feelings and experiences that entertain some people so much that they choose to attract this scenario instead of using the secret for the sake of seemingly unexpected income.

People who claim that action is required think of the secret as a tool which enables them working hard and not getting tired of this work.
