She claims that it is supported by quantum physics, where the consensus is that the mind is powerful enough to create anything – including the Universe itself. Throughout the chapter, Byrne explains the science behind the law of attraction. The problem is that the Universe doesn’t understand the word “no.” As a result, the Universe interprets “I don’t want to be late” as “I’ll be late.” If not, it’s because you’ve been too negative.īyrne points out that most people don’t even realize they are thinking negatively. Thus the importance of positive thinking and sending the right frequency into the Universe.īyrne notes that “your life right now is a reflection of your past thoughts.” If you’re doing well, you’ve been thinking positively. If you want to see something different, you have to change the channel. You receive a signal that the channel is programmed to send you. She explains, this is not different to watching TV. Whatever thoughts you send out into the Universe will attract similar energies before returning like a boomerang. She believes that thoughts are magnetic, emitting a positive or negative frequency. “Like attracts like” – so envisioning riches will actually bring you wealth. This is the law of attraction in a nutshell – if you think it, it will happen. Once the money is gone, their fear disappears as well, and they are able to focus on rebuilding their fortune. People lose money because they allow “fearful thoughts of losing wealth to enter their minds,” causing their fears to be realized. She argues this is due to the law of attraction. People often accumulate great wealth only to lose their fortune and gain it again in cycles. The Secret Chapter 1: The Secret Revealed Byrne even proposes that too much negative thinking can put you in the path of a natural disaster or terrorist attack. On the flip side, dwelling on war and poverty will only perpetuate these evils. In this fashion, your mind can bring you anything you desire – dream of a new house, and somehow, someway, it will come to you. Each thought sends out a signal, which is turn gathers similar frequencies – due to the law of attraction – before returning back to you. Instead, Byrne writes, “Your life right now is a reflection of your past thoughts.”Īccording to Byrne, the mind is a magnet, emitting and receiving frequencies to and from the Universe. Hence the importance of positive thinking. Likewise, fretting over a worst-case scenario will only cause your fears to be realized.

The book is based on a pseudo-scientific theory called the “law of attraction” – the principle that “like attracts like.” Specifically, Byrne focuses on the idea that your dreams do in fact come true – thinking about money and wealth will attract these very things, causing them to manifest in your life. The Secret is a self-help book about the power of positive thinking by Rhonda Byrne. Book available in English at: Flipkart, Amazonīook available in Hindi at: Flipkart, Amazon
