An excerpt from “The Secret”, by Rhonda Byrne

The Creative Process used in The Secret, which was taken from the New Testament in the Bible, is an easy guideline for you to create what you want in three simple steps.

Step 1: Ask

LISA NICHOLS
The first step is to ask. Make a command to the Universe. Let the Universe know what you want. The Universe responds to your thoughts.

BOB PROCTOR
What do you really want? Sit down and write it out on a piece of paper. Write it in the present tense. You might begin by writing, “I am so happy and grateful now that . . .” And then explain how you want your life to be, in every area.

You get to choose what you want, but you must get clear about what you want. This is your work. If you’re not clear, then the law of attraction cannot bring you what you want. You will be sending out a mixed frequency and you can only attract mixed results. For the first time in your life perhaps, work out what it is you really want. Now that you know you can have , be, or do anything, and there are no limits, what do you want?

Asking is the first step in the Creative Process, so make it a habit to ask. If you have to make a choice and you don’t know which way to go, ask! You should never be stumped on anything in your life. Just ask!

DR. JOE VITALE
This is really fun. It’s like having the Universe as your catalogue. You flip through it and say, “I’d like to have this excperience and I’d like to have that product and I’d like to have a person like that.” It is You placing your order with the Universe. It’s really that easy.

You do not have to ask over and over again. Just ask once. It is exactly like placing an order from a catalogue. You only ever order something once. You don’t place an order and then doubt the order has been received and so place the order again, and then again, and then again. You order once. It is the same with the Creative Process. Step One is simply your step to get clear about what you want. As you get clear in your mind, you have asked.

Step 2: Believe

LISA NICHOLS
Step two is believe. Believe that it’s already yours. Have what I love and have unwavering faith. Believe in the unseen.

You must believe that you have received. You must know that what you want is yours the moment you ask. You must have complete and utter faith. If you had placed an order from a catalogue, you would relax, know you are going to receive what you ordered, and get on with your life.

“See the things that you want as already yours.
Know that they will come to you at need.
Then let them come.
Don’t fret and worry about them.
Don’t think about your lack of them.
Think of them as yours, as belonging to you,
As already in your possession.”
Robert Collier

In the moment you ask, and believe and know you already have it in the unseen, the entire Universe shifts to bring it into the seen. You must act, speak, and think, as though you are receiving it now. Why? The Universe is a mirror, and the law of attraction is mirroring back to you your dominant thoughts. So doesn’t it make sense that you have to see yourself as receiving it? If your thoughts contain noticing you do not have it yet, you will continue to attract not having it yet. You must believe you have it already. You must believe you have received it. You have to emit the feeling frequency of having received it, to bring those pictures back as your life. When you do that, the law of attraction will powerfully move all circumstances, people, and events, for you to receive.

When you book a vacation, order a brand new car, or buy a house, you know those things are yours. You wouldn’t go and book another vacation for the same time, or purchase another car or house. If you won a lottery or received a large inheritance, even before you physically had the money, you know it is yours. That is the feeling of believing it is yours. That is the feeling of believing you have it already. That is the feeling of believing you have received. Claim the things you want by feeling and believing they are yours. When you do that, the law of attraction will powerfully move all the circumstances, people, and events for you to receive.

How do you get yourself to the point of believing? Start making believe. Be like a child, and make-believe, you will begin to believe you have received. The Genie is responding to your predominant thoughts all the time, not just in the moment you ask. That’s why after you’ve asked, you must continue to believe and know. Have faith. Your belief that you have it, that undying faith, is your greatest power. When you believe you are receiving, get ready, and watch the magic begin!

“You can have what you --- if you know how to form the mould for your own thoughts. There is no dream that may not come true, if you but learn to use the Creative Force working through you. The methods that work for one will work for all. The key to power lies in using what you have . . . freely, fully . . . and thus opening wide your channels for more Creative Force to flow through you.”
Robert Collier


DR. JOE VITALE
The Universe will start to rearrange itself to make it happen for you.

JACK CANFIELD
Most of us have never allowed ourselves to want what we truly want, because we can’t see how it’s going to manifest.

BOB PROCTOR
If you do just a little research, it is going to become evident to you that anyone that ever accomplished anything, did not know how they were going to do it. They only knew they were going to do it.

DR. JOE VITALE
You don’t need to know it’s going to come about. You don’t need to know the Universe will rearrange itself.

How it will happen, how the Universe will bring it to you, is not your concern or job. Allow the Universe to do it for you. When you are trying to work out how it will happen, you are emitting a frequency that contains a lack of faith --- that you don’t believe you have it already. You think you have to do it and you don’t believe the Universe will do it for you. The how is not your part in the Creative Process.

BOB PROCTOR
You don’t know how, it will be shown to you. You will attract the way.

LISA NICHOLS
Most of the time, when we don’t see the things that we’ve requested, we get frustrated. We get disappointed. And we begin to become doubtful. The doubt brings about a feeling of disappointment. Take that doubt and shift it. Recognize that feeling and replace it with a feeling of unwavering faith. “I know that it’s on its way.”

Step 3: Receive

LISA NICHOLS
Step three, and the final step in the process, is to receive. Begin to feel wonderful about it. Feel the way you will feel once it arrives. Feel it now.

MARCI SHIMOFF
And in this process it’s important to feel good, to be happy, because when you’re feeling good you’re putting yourself in the frequency of what you want.

MICHAEL BERNARD BECKWITH
This is a feeling Universe. If you just intellectually believe something, but you have no corresponding feeling underneath that, you don’t necessarily have enough power to manifest what you want in your life. You have to feel it.

Ask once, believe you have received, and all you have to do to receive is feel good. When you are feeling good, you are on the frequency of receiving. You are on the frequency of all good things coming to you, and you will receive what you have asked for. You wouldn’t ask for anything unless it was going to make you feel good in the receiving of it, would you? So get yourself on the feeling good frequency, and you will receive.

A fast way to get yourself on that frequency is to say, “I am receiving now. I am receiving all the good in my life now. I am receiving [fill in your desire] now.” And feel it. Feel it as though you have received.

A dear friend of mine, Marcy, is one of the greatest manifestors I have seen, and she feels everything. She feels what it would be like to have what she is asking for. She feels everything into existence. She doesn’t get caught up in how, when, or where, she just feels it and it then manifests.

So feel good now.

BOB PROCTOR
When you turn that fantasy into fact, you’re in the position to build bigger and bigger fantasies. And that, my friend, is the Creative Process.

BOB DOYLE
The law of attraction, the study and practice of the law of attraction, is just figuring out what will help you generate the feelings of having it now. Go test-drive that car. Go shop for that home. Get in the house. Do whatever you have to do to generate the feelings of having it now, and remember them. Whatever you can do to achieve that will help you literally attract it.

When you feel as though you have it now, and the feeling is so real that it is like you have it already, you are believing that you have received, and you will receive.

BOB DOYLE
It could be you wake up and it’s just there. It’s manifested. Or, you might get some inspired idea of some action to take. You certainly shouldn’t be saying, “Well, I could do it this way, but man, I would hate that.” You’re not on the right track if that’s the case.
Action will sometimes be required, but if you’re really doing it in line with what the Universe is trying to bring to you, it’s going to feel joyous. You’re going to feel so alive. Time will just stop. You could do it all day.

Action is a word that can imply “work” to some people, but inspired action will not feel like work at all. The difference between action and inspired action is this: Inspired action is when you are acting to receive to receive. If you are in action to try and make it happen, you have slipped backwards. Inspired action is effortless, and it feels wonderful because you are on the frequency of receiving.

Imagine life as a fast-moving river. When you are acting to make something happen it will feel as though you are going against the current of the river. It will feel hard and like a struggle. When you are acting to receive from the Universe, you will feel as though you are flowing with the current of the rive. It will feel effortless. That is the feeling of inspired action, and of being in the flow of the Universe and life.

Sometimes you will not even be aware you used “action” until after you’ve received, because the acting felt so good. You will then look back and see the wonder and matrix of how the Universe carried you to what you wanted, and also brought what you wanted to you.

DR. JOE VITALE
The Universe likes speed. Don’t delay. Don’t second-guess. Don’t doubt. When the opportunity is there, when the impulse is there, when the intuitive nudge from within is there, act. That’s your job. And that’s all you have to do.

Trust your instincts. It’s the Universe inspiring you. It’s the Universe communicating with you on the receiving frequency. If you have an intuitive or instinctive feeling, follow it, and you will find that the Universe is magnetically moving you to receive what you asked for.

BOB PROCTOR
You will attract everything that you require. If it’s money you need you will attract it. If it’s people you need you’ll attract it. If it’s a certain book you need, you’ll attract it. You’ve got to pay attention t what you’re attracted to, because as you hold images of what you want, you’re going to be attracted to things and they’re going to be attracted to you. But it literally moves into physical reality with and through you. And it does that by law.

Remember that you are a magnet, attracting everything to you. When you have gotten clear in your mind about what you want, you have become a magnet to draw those things to you, and those things you want are magnetised to you in return. The more you practice and begin to see the law of attraction bringing things to you, the greater the magnet you will become, because you will add the power of faith, belief, and knowing.

MICHAEL BERNARD BECKWITH
You can start with nothing, and out of nothing and out of no way, a way will be made.

All you require is You, and your ability to think things into being. Everything that has been invented and created throughout the history of mankind began with one thought. From that one thought a way was made, and it manifested from the invisible to the visible.

JACK CANFIELD
Think of a car driving through the night. The headlights only go a hundred to two hundred feet forward, and you can make it all the way from California to New York driving through the dark, because all you have to see is the next two hundred feet. And that’s how life tends to unfold before us. If we just trust that the next two hundred feet will unfold after that, and the next two hundred feet will unfold after that, your life will keep unfolding. And it will eventually get you to the destination of whatever it is your truly want, because you want it.

Trust the Universe. Trust and believe and have faith. I truly had no idea how I was going to bring the knowledge of The Secret onto the movie screen. I just held to the outcome of the vision, I saw the outcome clearly in my mind, I felt it with all my might, and everything that we needed to create The Secret came to us.

“Take the first step in faith. You don’t have to see the whole staircase. Just take the first step.”
Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.
