The “SECRET” is another concept…
From my perspective – “the Secret” and other attempts of “getting your way” by positive thinking, is another concept, another IDEA to try and control your life so it will go YOUR WAY. And again, from my perspective, YOUR LIFE IS A HAPPENING! An Awesome Unimaginable magical HAPPENING…
The only thing I can promise you is your smile back, and peace WITHIN – not necessarily peace WITHOUT (in the world). I don’t promise that people’s lives will go the way they want it to (although it might). I do HOWEVER promise that your life will be FULL OF WONDER, GRACE & GRATEFULNESS.
To me LIFE IS A HAPPENING…not a hopeful wish to be controlled…IT IS, AS IT! And SOMETIMES it goes your way and SOMETIMES it doesn’t, no matter how much you pray, or chant or do yagyas or HOPE or write positive affirmations on your wall.
If the “Secret” really worked, if it was truly “a secret truth” – don’t you think that the great saints, (i.e. Ramana, Sri Sr Ravi Shankar, etc) Enlightened Beings of this world could have THOUGHT the world into peace by their mere POSITIVE PRESENCE?”
THINK ABOUT IT? If the greatest Masters of our time and infinite BEINGS of past & future couldn’t THINK the world into the way they wanted it to be for themselves or others: OR bring peace to the world, do you think YOUR thoughts and “the Secret can”? Does this make sense at all to anyone who is sincerely seeking truth & the “open secret” of their own Nature?
Darlings BE OPEN…BE OPEN TO A NEW POSSIBILITY – something beyond your thinking mind of ideas and concepts, no matter how Beautiful and Noble. Go for the true Gem inside of you – The PEACE THAT YOU ARE.
GO FOR DISCOVERING YOUR NATURE. You will find that peace will follow for yourself, and the rest of the world. It just won’t look the way you expected it to look. It will look AS IT IS.
In deep love with YOU and wishing you peace – your friend Dvorah

DARLING KHUSHBOO:
You know there is nothing wrong with positive thinking- it’s quite wonderful to “have the opportunity” to think positively. Who doesn’t want to be around positive people?
It’s getting stuck in all this hoping and wishing and wanting and praying to get that car or that boyfriend, or that new life, or those shoes or even to “evolve” into this other person that you’ve watched on Oprah. You’re missing perfectly wonderful opportunity of recognizing what you have and who you are and how “life moves and changes organically” truly BY ITSELF. YOU STILL THINK you’re the “co-creator (what ever that means).
I tell you, Creation is your NATURE…you are NOT “part” of the creator or co-creating with the Creator! This is your LITTLE BRAIN telling itself how smart you are and how great you are!
YOU ARE GREAT -but not in the way YOU THINK. This whole World, this whole Creator stuff, is a concept you’ve concocted to help you feel safe, humble and in control.
If you ever decide you really want to be FREE, you really want to SING A SONG OF PEACE…you’ll drop all this nonsense, sit down, close your eyes this very moment and fall into YOUR TRUE NATURE. Then you will BE positive instead trying to ‘think yourself” positive.
Again it’s lovely to think positively, it’s just this constant “positive worship” that has made people so miserable, because for some “ODD, NATURAL” reason they just CAN’T think positively all the time.
I say GIVE IT A REST! Think positively when you can, and the rest of the time GIVE THEM HELL or at least stick your tongue out!
