Shortly after The Secret first came out, The Secret Version 2 was Released …

The Secret DVD & Book

… and the first version was NOT allowed to be sold!!  Many people who have watched The Secret actually watched the second version of the DVD.  The first version had Ester Hicks in it, the second version doesn’t!

I don’t profess to know what went on between Rhonda Byrne & The Secret team and Ester & Jerry Hicks.  Being reasonably close to Rhonda Byrne and her sister Glenda, plus the Drew Harriott’s (The Secret Director) then girlfriend is a daughter of our client, I was privy to some information which most do not know.

I have been around long enough to know there is always three sides to every story … Rhonda’s, Ester’s and the Truth!  I have never personally spoken to Ester or Jerry and have nothing against them as people.  They do a great work and I honour them for who they are.  I do not take on some on their beliefs as they are contrary to what I know as the truth … and then again, nor do I uphold everything on The Secret or what some other Secret Teachers believe.

From time to time I hear and read some real rubbish!  One of those is that Ester maintains the The Secret was handed to her from the Ester ‘Abraham’ spirits and that other Teachers on The Secret and Rhonda Byrne stole The Secret from her!!  Here is what someone posted on their FaceBook Wall today:

“I am a great fan of Esther & Jerry Hicks, please understand Abraham was the first to teach “The Secret,” yes-the info was basically unfairly stolen from Abraham-channeled from the wonderful Hicks!! She/they are phenominal. Keep up the good work for Abraham, Ester, I am proud of you regardless of what anyone thinks. I was/am a ‘different’ child.”

As you guessed … I could not resist responding … here it is:

“That is so far from the truth it is ridiculous.

How do you explain The Secret being taught by Zig Ziglar, Og Mandino, Napoleon Hill, Wallace D Wattles, Thomas Troward, Apostle Paul, Jesus Christ and Moses (plus many others) long before Ester Hicks was heard of or even born?

I had never heard of Ester Hicks or the ‘Abraham’ spirits when I first started applying The Secret (long before Rhonda Byrne called it The Secret).

Apart from the obvious, how can someone steal that which is not owned by any human but rather given directly by God (not the Ester’s ‘Abraham’ spirits).”

Let me also suggest that there is a “money side” that hasn’t been told truthfully, and that the real facts to why Ester Hicks was cut out have nothing to do Ester been given The Secret or that it was stolen from her.  Just some ordinary common sense will tell you someone is using fantasy to cover up fact.  And I’m amazed by the gullible people who fall for it.

• Have you ever wondered why it was scheduled to show on ‘free-to-air’ television around the world simultaneously on February 12, 2005 and two weeks before (even after massive advertising campaigns) it got pulled …
• then in May it got release via the internet and DVD??
• Did you know it wasn’t able to be purchased online in Australia, New Zealand and Papua New Guinea until version 2 came out!?!??!

Hmmmm …. Something to think about!

Everything I need to know about life, I learned from Noah ‘s Ark

Noah's Ark - The Woodpecker Has To Go

1. Don’t miss the boat
2. Remember that we are all in the same boat
3. Plan ahead. It wasn’t raining when Noah built the Ark
4. Stay fit. When you’re 600 years old, someone may ask you to do something really big
5. Don’t listen to critics; just get on with the job that needs to be done
6. Build your future on high ground
7. For safety sake, travel in pairs
8. Speed isn’ t always an advantage. The snails were on board with the cheetahs
9. When you’re stressed, float a while
10. Remember, the Ark was built by amateurs; the Titanic by professionals
11. No matter the storm, when you are with God, there’s always a rainbow waiting.

HAVE A WONDERFUL DAY!

It Is God Who Gives You The Power To Get Wealth

My Sunday Special

As I have mentioned before, we are a three part being: A Spiritual being, with a Soul, living in a Physical body.

We must understand that there are laws governing every single thing, seen and unseen.  There are laws of the spirit world, there are laws of the soul world, and there are laws of the physical world.

A law is “a rule or collection of rules imposed by authority.” In this case, the authority is the Creator of the spirit, soul and body … I call Him God.  A law, its operation and consequence or penalty for disobedience, does not change because of our belief in it or our knowledge of it.  A three month old baby does not know about the law of gravity and if not supervised or protected, could crawl off a balcony 10 stories up; the law of gravity will still work.

As we study these laws we learn that the laws of the soul realm (the soul being the conscious mind, the will and the subconscious mind) are more powerful then the physical world and the laws of the physical realm; and the laws of the spirit realm are more powerful than the soul world and the laws of the soul realm.

Now that means, whether money is part of the spiritual realm, soul realm, physical realm or all realms, there are laws which govern its acquisition and disposal!  That means …

… there are exact laws which govern poverty and exact laws which govern financial wealth.

We can talk about the different laws which govern the creation of wealth, and we will over time.  I want to draw your attention to one law which I believe is vitally important! Disobeying this law won’t stop you from acquiring wealth, however it will cause you to be unfulfilled with any amount of wealth and even lose whatever you create!!

It appears this law was first recorded between 1446 BC and 1406 BC by Moses in the Torah. It can be read in the bible in Deuteronomy 8:17-20:

17And beware lest you say in your mind and heart, “My power and the might of my hand have gotten me this wealth.”

18But you shall [earnestly] remember the Lord your God, for it is He Who gives you power to get wealth, that He may establish His covenant which He swore to your fathers, as it is this day.

19And if you forget the Lord your God and walk after other gods and serve them and worship them, I testify against you this day that you shall surely perish.

20Like the nations which the Lord makes to perish before you, so shall you perish, because you would not obey the voice of the Lord your God.

This is worthwhile a considerable amount of your time to mediate and ponder on.

This does NOT say that God will punish you.  What it does say is if you puff yourself up, or believe you are God and that you alone created the wealth and do not give gratitude and praise to the source of all wealth and prosperity, you will suffer the penalty of not obeying the law.

This is a law, and the consequence of being ignorant to it or disobeying it is not altered by your belief whether it exists or works or not!

The Secret To A Good Life

This wonderful video puts some common sense into the not-so-common-sense world.  Watch New York Times bestselling author Mark Albion’s 3-minute animated movie based on Mark’s book, More Than Money.

“The Good Life” takes you to a chance meeting between an MBA and a fisherman on a small island. As the MBA tries to teach the fisherman about business, the fisherman teaches him about life.

Success and fulfillment in life is about having, doing and being what we want to have, do and be.

It is more about giving and less about getting.

Every man, woman and child must have a vision for without a vision they quickly die. You vision can be living in a village and fishing, it can be building a global corporation, neither are wrong … the question is are you happy and fulfilled with your life and your contribution?

You Can Learn The Secret Of How I Made Over $1mil In 1 Day!

Will you do it, or will you take the easy path?

Many people have asked me over the years what was the one thing I did which had the greatest impact on my finances.  I have told every person who has asked me.  The most amazing thing is, very few people have done what I said!!

The important question is, “Will you?”

Just in case you don’t know my story (and I won’t share it all here);

15 years ago I was flat broke!  I was married with 4 children under 10 years old, unemployed, uneducated (I didn’t go to college or learn a trade), massively in debt, about to be evicted from our rental home, driving around in an unregistered car, so shy I hated speaking to people even on the phone and didn’t have enough money to buy food for my family.  (Yes, I have a book coming out soon sharing the whole story)

I felt defeated, useless and so low! So low that I could walk under a snake with my umbrella up and not scratch its belly!  Now that’s low!!  People sometimes say that they are at the bottom of the barrel financially … well, I could look up and see the bottom of the barrel!!!

Seven years on from that day I had made over $1 million in a year, and in just another 4 years I made over $1.2 million dollars in one day! (To give you some perspective, it would take a person earning the average income in the US over 34 years to make that much money.)

I don’t share this with you to boast, I know that it was not in my power that I created the wealth, it wasn’t possible for me to do it all.   I share it with you to inspire and empower you, regardless of your situation you can learn and do what I did.

I created a ‘Future Budget’!

Most people hate budgets … including me!  They can be very depressing and they are in fact in opposition to creation.  With a normal budget, you are working out your income and then trying to squeeze your life into it!  That’s dumb!

Why not work out how you want your life to be and then expand your income to meet it?

• Decide what home or homes you really want to live in and figure out how much per month that will cost;
• Decide what cars you want to drive and figure out how much per month that will cost;
• Decide where you want to travel, how much you want to have in investments, how much you want to give away, what ministries and missions you would like to support or start, what jewellery and clothing you want to wear, what hobbies you want to pursue and so on … and figure out how much each one will cost!

Add all this up and you will know how much money you need to earn to live the lifestyle you desire to live. (If you would like a worksheet or spreadsheet to help fill out and calculate this leave me a comment below)

This is much more than just a nice exercise in dreaming; it actually starts the path of changing your mental programming from poverty to abundance which I have mentioned in Parts 1-5 of “Where Does Money Come From?”  The question is, “Will you do it?”
