Quantum Secrets - Using The Secret

For the past twenty years in Australia I've suffered from the effects of an allergic reaction to milk products. This can be anything from nausea, headaches, drowsiness to even reactions similar to being drunk, depending on the type of product I ate. Cheese on pizza usually caused that kind of reaction. I won't tell you what happened the following morning.

I even bought anti-lactose tablets and swallowed copious amounts of them without any effect.

I'd resigned myself to the fact that I would never be able to eat dairy products and spent most of my time in supermarkets reading the ingredients, making sure there wasn't a speck of dairy product in anything I bought. (Did you know they use milk powder as a binding agent to attach flavour to chips (crisps)??? Can't even eat those!)

I'd been thinking about this recently and wishing that there was some solution as, why was it that I couldn't even have a little when even lactose intolerant people could eat a lot with anti-lactose tablets. It just didn't seem fair.

That same week I was discussing food with one of my Italian students. Without any prompting from me, he told me that he really loved Italian food in Italy but that a lot of the food in Australia made him sick. He said that he could eat any cheese in Italy but then described how he felt if he ate any cheese, butter or cream, or drank any milk in Australia. Similar symptoms to me.

I'm pretty sure my mouth fell open right there. If brains could explode I think mine would have. Shock, elation, incredulousness, regret, anger, frustration, hope and excitement all happened at once. I had suddenly realised that if eating dairy products made in Australia made him sick, maybe imported dairy products would be fine for me!

Thanks to me thinking about my dairy problem at this time, the universe allowed me to meet a student who could give me a different perspective.

After the lesson I almost ran to the local supermarket. I gathered up what little cash I had and bought a piece of imported cheese. Not any cheese though. I bought the cheese I thought would have the worst effect on me. Mouldy blue cheese from Denmark! Probably the grossest cheese I've ever seen, especially with 20 years of feeling sick from even looking at cheese, let alone eating it. If I didn't get sick from this then I would be able to eat any cheese from around the world, except Australia.

Well, later that night

Just too tired to meditate more than a few minutes a week so not much to report in the last month. Here's a quick run down.

1. Needed someone to help me on weekends. Completely unsolicited the ideal person contacted me. Then I needed them to help me during the week. Without asking they quit their job and were available to help.

2. Didn't have time to buy a coffee. Suddenly a student who has never bought me one before, brought me a coffee.

3. Went to the pub again with limited cash. Only planned to buy one drink. Got the first one free after a flip of the coin got heads. Got the next one free when someone bought a bottle of wine for everyone because he was in such a good mood. Then got the next one free when someone who I'd given a reference for suddenly turned up unexpectedly and bought me one as a thank you.

For several weeks now I've been thinking about getting a new table for the office. As the budget is tight, it has remained as 'thinking about'. I personally didn't know how I was going to do it, though students would continue to remind me that the soft cover table I had just wasn't good enough for writing.

With this thought in mind, again, I went downstairs to wash my cup. No one uses the sink downstairs so I was quite surprised to see a lady washing dishes there. So I stood and waited.

She hadn't noticed me there and was very surprised and apologetic that I'd been waiting to use the sink. I said it was okay as I had plenty of time. I also said that my next student wasn't due for awhile, and I thought she was doing a good job and I didn't want to disturb her.

She told me that she was cleaning up after a closing down party. She was closing her office and getting rid of all their furniture. Then she said "Do you need any tables? I've got a few that I want to get rid of. I don't want any money for them."

There are many sites out there about the Secret. If you're interested in reading about it, it is quite easy to find places on the net. Search for "The Secret" , "Law of Attraction" or even "Cosmic Ordering" and you'll find millions.

Most talk about making money, increasing riches etc which is, of course, attractive to a majority of people. Apart from a couple of stories in the Secret movie I haven't seen much evidence, in other people following the Secret, of this really happening. You have to ask for it, and the universe will answer, but you have to receive the results. And to receive the results you have to take the opportunities that present themselves to be able to access these results. The Secret is NOT going to work if you

On Wednesday night I had planned to talk about women with tattoos with my students. While I wasn't consciously thinking about this aspect of the lesson a number of things happened on that day and the next that brought it back to me how, what we think about we attract.

During that day one of my students started talking to me about tattoos with no prompting from me. The article didn't even mention tattoos but for some reason he thought a word in the article looked like the word tattoo.

Then the class discussion in the evening reinforced the thoughts of women with tattoos.

The next morning I almost bumped into a girl on the street with a large tattoo on her arm. I thought, aha. An interesting coincidence. But then, when teaching my two Italian students, a more surprising thing happened.

Took a short trip to Terrigal for my Easter holiday. Drove up with the family. Used the car parking space trick in a variety of places with no problems. There was always one space available for us in the place I was thinking of. Nice coincidence.

It was raining in the area we were staying but the rain stopped just as we were about to leave the hotel and started again after we were under cover. Then when we were about to leave it stopped, then started again once we got home. Nice coincidence.

Had been discussing with one of the staff last week about the fact that there weren't that many Koreans in my school. Got an unexpected email from an ex student from several months ago saying he'd like to go into business with me and would be able to get me hundreds of Koreans as students. Hmm. Nice coincidence.

In The Secret, it was said that concentrating on friends you haven't seen for awhile will get them to contact you, even if it is briefly.

So I concentrated on two people I knew, one I hadn't heard from in 3 months and another I hadn't heard from in over a year. Within a week

I'd been having problems with my foot for a couple of years, ever since climbing Mount Fuji in Japan then spending days wandering the streets in badly fitting flat soled shoes. Don't worry, I won't go into details here!

The Secret video says that if you focus on a problem about your health, it'll remain, whereas if you focus on that area of your body and think about it being healed, it'll be healed. So

Well, I did the car park space thing today, just like it was suggested in The Secret. Visualise exactly where you want the car space to be and it'll be there. I visualised it next to a pole next to the disabled parking section on the lower level of a mall I was heading to. And...

Discussed with one of my students on Friday the possibility of fur coming back into fashion because it would be better for the environment. On the following Monday, I tuned in at 7.55am to catch the news and got the tail end of the 'coming up' presentation which said "and later on the programme, we'll be discussing whether fur can help reduce global warming" (!!)

My next project is to write an ebook called 'Become an IELTS Speaking Preparation Tutor' I hope to start this sometime this week.

I've got all the information I need to put it together and I will have the time to get it done this week but one thing has been holding me back - writing the 10 pages of questions that tutors would need to be able to tutor their students.

If you don't know anything about the IELTS exam then this won't mean anything to you. For those who do, the questions need to be styled in such a way as to be increasingly challenging. For example the first question might be "Do you work or do you study?" the final question might be "Do you think macroeconomic policy in 1st world countries should be referenced to assist 3rd world economies?"

Needless to say, writing 10 sets of these questions was going to be a daunting task. I'd been stressing about it for a few days when I suddenly decided that I would let the universe help me out. I didn't know how it would do that but I meditated and asked that this process would be a very simple one.

Interesting morning. I wasn't even trying. The thought occurred that I wanted a coffee but I didn't know how I was going to get it before I saw my student as I was running late, due to working longer on the computer than I should have, and I didn't have time to pick up some change. I had notes but I didn't want to have to wait while they found change for me.

Having said that I got to the meeting area with a few minutes to spare and found that I was up to the 'free' box on my coffee card. So no waiting for change. I grabbed a coffee and rushed to meet my student and found

Tuesday nights is the night I have off to meet some friends. Usually we go to a pub for a few drinks.

A couple of Tuesdays ago I got there early enough to take part in the toss for drinks game. Basically 6.30pm to 7.30pm at some pubs in Sydney, if you call the right up-side of the coin (heads or tails) the drinks are on the house.

Well, I've only won one of these before by chance so I took a deep breathe, felt happy, joyous, confident and other thoughts, and suddenly knew the coin would come up 'heads'.

I said "definitely heads" and the guy flipped the coin. And guess what.

Well, I've finally finished the Become an English Language Conversation Tutor 2nd edition ebook. You can find out more about it here: http://www.speakoz.com/becomeanenglishtutor/englishtutorebook.html

So, hopefully, tonight, I can catch up on some sleep and get back to following the teachings of The Secret.

Last night, in a completely exhausted state, I tried to do some meditation with limited success. Even so, something interesting happened.

Well, I've been working long hours on my ebook and really not thinking about The Secret or meditating or anything like that so, actually, funnily enough, nothing has happened worth reporting in the past few days. As soon as I get some sleep I'll get back into it again.

It's actually hard work trying to feel joy all the time and as my natural state used to be being emotionally neutral, rather than feeling joyous, I'm finding it a challenge.

I've also noticed that, whenever I've consciously meditated to a point where I feel joy, I get a headache! This is only after a couple of minutes. Obviously my brain has not yet adjusted to feeling this amount of joy. It feels like my body is trying to adapt to this feeling and a headache is the result. So, actually, taking a break from feeling joyous and getting on with my writing has been a bit of a relief!

I have one story to report from a few days ago. Not sure which day it was but I'll go into some detail.

I've been searching for a good and cheap brochure stand for my office. Something I could put A4 magazines in as well. I have not had much success and actually haven't been able to find anyone who sells anything even remotely close to what I want.

I even had one of my staff get online for an hour and contact places that sold these things without success.

So I was ready to give up and plan something else when, today, I received in the mail a brochure containing exhibition equipment which included a brochure stand similar to what I was looking for. Needless to say I was overjoyed!

When you really want something...

Continuing my visualisation of cheques.

Years ago, as a hobby, I added several links to amazon.co.uk on some of my websites. I hadn't paid much attention to those links in the past year as I'd already spent a lot on promoting them previously without much success.

Well I just got a cheque from Amazon.co.uk. They finally sent me a commission cheque. Some of the sales on this cheque are from more than a year ago so it is a small amount but quite welcome. It also means that it has covered the amount I spent on advertising, so I've broken even! Great!

Another great thing happened today. My prepay mobile company, Virgin Mobile, sent me this message:

"To share the love, we've applied a bonus credit to your account!"

All I can say is The Secret is working!

Today I got a call from a lady wanting to go into business with me. She ran another school a bit bigger than mine and was looking for extra space. All the available space I had was already taken so I had to turn this opportunity down.

It was an interesting proposition and if I was in a better position I would probably have taken it. The universe continues to send opportunities my way!

As you're aware, privacy online is becoming more and more important. I've had several things happen in the past couple of days to my family and friends that are good things and things that I hoped and visualised would happen but unfortunately I can't talk about them here. So even though things continue to happen on a daily basis, they tend to be things I can't blog about! Sounds like a cop out but it's true.

One thing I can talk about is that

I just had an offer from a person who would like to volunteer to help me with the work I'm doing with my school. They want to learn on the job.

I was just thinking about how I could get more time to update my ebook and I suddenly get the email. Needless to say I quickly responded, inviting them to an interview on Tuesday.

Great!

Well, the other day I wasn't thinking about the universe at all. I had had barely any sleep and just wasn't in the mood to be in a good mood. In fact I was in a pretty bad mood. So, as you can probably imagine, it was one of those days.

Okay. Sorry. Not daily posts. Haven't had much of a chance lately. Had to post this message though.

Still doing the same steps. Still seeing small things happen like talking about a friend and the friend calls me or picking up the mobile just as my wife calls. I had one situation where I was talking with someone about personal space in Australia and how people are obsessed with needing more than their fair share when, a few hours afterwards, on the way home I encountered a guy going ballistic about personal space. (What you think about you attract!)

So I had to post this. I've been thinking about prosperity and good things coming to me and suddenly this appears in the mail from Energy Australia:

Today I got some postal mail from a company in Switzerland. They were interested in getting my help to promote their Australian event through my school. I got posters, flyers, plus an offer to promote my school to people in Switzerland.

This was great timing actually as one of my new students is from Switzerland so I was able to give her materials on the Aussie event in Luzern. She plans to go to it and will tell her friends when she goes back.

An interesting opportunity!

Today, after visualising receiving cheques for several days, I got a cheque in the mail from Clickbank. I have an ebook that I sell online through them. Apparently they'd sold a few of them in the past few months so the cheque is a small amount but it is very welcome.

Okay. These are small things but I'm going to take them as results.

Here are the 4 things I do every day.

An interesting day. After focusing on making sure everything would go alright and opportunities would start to appear I got an interesting call from Brisbane. Only 2 days after implementing The Secret!

I'm going to try and post a comment about any changes to my life since reading The Secret. With so many criticisms online about this book and movie as well as so many praises I believe that actually listing things that happen on a day to day basis will prove that this works to any naysayers. I will, of course, change any details for privacy reasons as well as not list anything I consider to be too personal, but you'll get everything I can list.

So here goes.
