Archive for the ‘Power of Secrecy’ Category
The power of secrecy has been taught for millennia by every major metaphysical movement that has shared the secrets of the law of attraction and the power of creative thought. Time after time the great teachers have advised their students to develop and use their Law of Attraction skills in secret, without telling a soul about their efforts, and there is a very good reason for this – talking about something reduces the amount of energy that you have available to bring it into being.
We have all experienced this ‘dissipation of energy’ at one point or another. Think about a time when you became really excited about achieving something and you decided to share your plans with a friend or colleague, and then you discussed the subject so much that you were left without an enthusiasm to actually pursue the idea any further. The same thing can happen when we are trying to attract something into our lives with the Law of Attraction, but in this case talking about our plans can weaken our energy even faster.
The best approach to take when you are working with the Law of Attraction is to keep your intentions to yourself and vow to let the results of your work speak for themselves. You can of course tell other people how you achieved something after you have achieved it, but until that point you should say nothing. This will ensure that your energy remains strong and vibrant, and it will help you to manifest your desires far faster than you would otherwise.
The Art & Science of Magickal Creation discusses this topic (as well as many more that I feel all Law of Attraction students should study in depth) and the author has permitted me to share the following quote which I feel would be useful here:
“Keeping your magickal workings secret makes it a great deal easier to keep your focus on the task at hand, because you won’t have to think about the expectations or observations of other people. Such distractions can severely interfere with the entire magickal process, and in some cases stop it altogether.
“I therefore recommend that you keep your magickal workings to yourself. Do not speak about them or indicate your use of them to anyone. The fewer people who know about your magickal workings, the more effective your magick will be.”
Whether one describes the working with the Law of Attraction in terms of ‘magick’ or the ‘creative power of thought’, the power of secrecy should never be underestimated. Although the temptation to share your vision for the future can be great, resisting it will enable you to get on with the much more important task of making it a reality.
