The Secret Experiment - Week Three

THE SECRET EXPERIMENT
Week Three


For those of you who haven’t read the first two weeks of my

experiment I’ll fill you in. I have been intrigued by The Secret,

knew there was something to it, and decided to try it out – publicly.

Why?

One – It’s a topic many people find interesting.

Two – I can now claim all books/CDs, etc. on my taxes. LOL

Three – Believe it or not, I am going to include The Law of Attraction

in a future humorous romantic comedy and this will allow me to

get some of the research out of the way early.

Last week, I mentioned that The Secret recommends starting

out small. Supposedly, if you think of someone you haven’t

seen or heard from in a long time someone will mention their

name or you will hear from them.

Most of us have had that happen before, but not usually

intentionally. So, I decided to think about a high school friend

I hadn’t spoken to in thirty years.

Did I hear from her?

No.

So, does that mean The Law of Attraction doesn’t work?

Not necessarily.

I admit, I had limiting thoughts that could have negated

hearing from this person. First, I pictured writing that I hadn’t

heard from her.

Why?

I think I put negative thoughts into my brain because I

initiated contact with someone who also knew her.

In my eyes, if he mentioned her name,

it would have been cheating on my part.

What if he did mention her name?

What if he had her current phone number and address?

Would the Law of Attraction have worked because thinking of

this person had me walking down memory lane and put

me in the frame of mind to contact someone else

we both knew?

The Secret does recommend taking action

when you are inspired.

Perhaps the Law of Attraction pushes us in the direction

to achieve our goals as much as it draws what you want

from the Universe and brings it to you.

Something to think about.

But for the purposes of this experiment,

I wanted to know if I could attract her to me.

What now?
This week, I will be picturing a different friend from high school

that I haven’t heard from in almost thirty years. The only

mutual friend we have has already contacted me months

ago and mentioned her then. There’s no reason for her to

suddenly do it again. Unless she reads this blog,

and I doubt she does.

Oh, crud!
I just remembered I mentioned my blog on Facebook.

She could decide to read the blog today, after all, and I just

put another negative thought in my brain because mentioning

my blog on Facebook could be considered cheating.

As they say, herein lies the rub.

Manipulating The Law of Attraction is not

always easy and that may be one of the reasons

it doesn’t always work.


What now?
I’m going to think of attracting a new laptop.
We have no mutual friends on Facebook.

What can I do to increase the chances I will get my laptop?

First, I’m going to save my spare change.

Taking action should help build the energy toward manifestation.

If the Law works, the Universe will bring me my laptop through a

fantastic sale or some other miraculous means.
The Secret recommends visualizing and staying in an

Attitude of Gratitude.

Feeling happy creates the attraction,

so I’ll picture myself typing at Barnes and Noble and

feeling wonderful while I drink my white chocolate mocha.

We both know I’ll attract that mocha first.
I’ve done it before. A teacher across from my room

was accidentally given the wrong drink at Starbucks so they

let her have both. Unbeknownst to her,

the unwanted drink just happened

to be my favorite

and she gave it to me when she got to work.
Now that’s the Law of Attraction at its best.

Next week I’ll go more into being specific versus just

staying in a happy state of mind.

Have a magical week,
