Hello everyone 🙂 I’m James
First of all wish to thank Rhonda Byrne and all the people involved in the creation of the Secret. I thank you all very, very much 🙂
I want to thank a good friend of mine who about 7 years ago gave me the book The Secret. I thanked her and asked what this book was about? She only said it is a good book! So I put it in my room not telling her at the time I don’t read books! But a few days passed and I had the book sitting on my night stand I kept looking at it and wondering what it was about and no one ever gave me a book! So the next day were chatting on the internet and I told her I don’t read books because for some reason I lose interest quickly so she suggested to me to buy the audio book. So I looked on iTunes and downloaded the audio book! I listened intently and was happy to hear I can change my entire life just by changing how I think. Then I also bought the secret movie! So slowly I try this and learned from my friend of another book that may also help and that book is The Master Key System.
After having all the tools I needed I try using them. So after a few lame attempts I got discouraged and gave up! Meditation! WOW! It isn’t easy. I couldn’t seem to make my restless mind go blank! But I wanted results and change so I got persistent and over time I found a way. And that way was thinking only of water! Water dripping in a little pond. Well, guess what? One day I was in my room on the ship and I was meditating I mean I was deep in meditation thinking only of water dripping and suddenly I realized I only had 5 minutes to be on watch so I rush in the bathroom shave and brush my teeth not realizing I kept the water in the sink running as I was putting my shoes on I heard water splashing so I look around hoping the ship wasn’t sinking! As I open the bathroom door I saw to my amazement the sink was overflowing! So I saw that as a result and thought I was making good progress.
A few weeks later I was at home in my beautiful apartment that I love very much. I was in the bedroom the place I do my meditation and again I was deep in meditation and again thinking of only water! Well, as I was meditating I heard water dripping and I got up to investigate and to my amazement again water was dripping from the forced air vent! I look closely and thought why is water coming from an air vent? I then realized the person who lives above me must have his bathtub overflowing? I ran up to his door rang his bell. He answered his door and ask are you running you tub? He said no! I said well something in your house is leaking down into my house! Then I saw his eyes get big and he said Ohhh $H!T! My fish tank! He said how sorry he was and help me clean up my wet bathroom. OK more results I was very happy But! I thought maybe I better think of something other than water as I meditate 😉
