Secret

Sometimes I get nasty emails.

They are usually from people who strongly disagree with my book, The Attractor Factor, and/or the movie The Secret. 

They say the law of attraction isn’t a law.

They’re pretty angry about it, too.

Their number one proof is that the law of gravity is repeatable: drop something and it falls.

But, they say, the law of attraction can’t be repeated at all.

What these well-intended people don’t see is that they are attracting all the time.

They even attract other like-minded skeptics, completely oblivious to the fact that they have attracted each other, but let’s leave that observation for someone else to ponder.

They say they aren’t attracting because they appear to attract what they don’t want.

So, in their mind, the law of attraction can’t be a law.

I can’t blame them for thinking that way. They simply expect the law to work in their favor at all times. (As if gravity does.) They expect everything to be measureable and predictable.

But this is where their logic is twisted.

They never seem to notice that they can drop a pen from a roof a million times but it won’t land in the exact same spot every time.

Why not?

Isn’t gravity a law?

Shouldn’t gravity be exactly repeatable?

In other words, because something falls, they say gravity is proven.

Well, because you attract something, even what you didn’t consciously want, doesn’t that prove the law of attraction, too?

I think the confusion comes from expecting to hit a specific target every time.

With gravity, people are forgiving. If it falls, that’s proof of gravity. They don’t look any further. Experiment over.

But with the law of attraction, people are more demanding: if they don’t attract precisely what they said they wanted, then the law doesn’t exist (in their mind).

Now this is what’s interesting to me:

If the law of attraction is working just as the law of gravity is — neither are precise (they can be but that’s a different blog post) but both are laws — why don’t some people want to agree to it?

And why are so many of these outspoken people angry?

My guess is that as soon as they admit the law of attraction works, then they have to take full responsibility for what they are getting in their life.

Few can admit that.

It’s scary.

It means there is no one to blame.

Think of the apparent burden this places on a person.

If I could shirk responsibility, I’d do it, too!

But once you understand the truth, there’s no going back to sleep again.

And get this —

Taking full responsibility for your life is only stage two in the process of awakening. There’s still stage three. (I explain all three in my latest book, Zero Limits.)

Considering how tough it is to get people out of stage one, I think I have my work cut out for me.

Please join me in saying —

“I love you, I’m sorry, please forgive me, thank you.”

PS – If you want help in understanding all this, consider my Miracles Coaching program. I also have a DVD that helps explain the law of attraction – and then how to transcend it. It’s at www.installthesecret.com Go see. No charge to go look. 🙂

Note: It would be fair to ask, “Joe, why did you attract those nasty emails from the skeptics?” Good question. I attracted them to get me to write this post. Had I not gotten any emails, I may never have written this or even thought about writing this. In short, those nasty emails were a good thing and I attracted them. Now that I’ve gotten the lesson from them, I don’t need to attract any more of them (unless there’s another lesson to learn from them).  This is called getting clear. I believe it is The Missing Secret to a successful life.

“I love you, Joe.”

I was sitting at the San Diego airport, minding my own business, my nose stuck to my Blackberry, when the gentleman now sitting beside me looked at me and said those words.

He heard me speak at the NSA convention the day before. Lots of people have been saying “I love you” to me who heard my talk.

Of course, they’re supposed to say it silently, and not to me, but saying it at all is a good thing and a good start.

The man turned out to be a creative genius. A fan of my P.T. Barnum book, There’s a Customer Born Every Minute, and a full-time corporate magician with a Disney-like imagination. He even lives in Orlando.

His name is Giovanni Livera. He’s got passion in his eyes and he’s plugged into the electric current of life. He’s writing, producing, creating. He specializes in astonishing people. He is all about creating experiences for people.

He performed some jaw-dropping magic for me. Made a coin disappear and showed me where it reappeared – under my watch. I never saw it coming. Or going. Or reappearing.

I was astonished.

He handed me a copy of his book, Live a Thousand Years. I started reading it on the plane home and was riveted. The thing is a masterpiece.

It’s about a man who stops time, loses all the numbers on his watch, and regains them one by one as he learns life’s lessons. I strongly suggest you get the book from Amazon.

But my thought for today is about passion.

I heard Donny Deutsch say on his TV show, The Big Idea, that the most common trait of all the people he interviews, who are successes despite all odds, is their passion.

They don’t focus on money. They focus on doing what they love. They may use money as a way to measure their success, but that’s not the focus or the end result.

Passion.

That’s the real secret.

And the real magic.

Giovanni has it.

So do you.

But you may have to let it out.

Ao Akua,

PS – Giovanni’s website is www.giovanniexperiences.com Take a look. No charge to peak inside. Might find some magic there.

Note to all Texas readers: I’ll be doing a book signing for Zero Limits in Wimberley, Texas on Saturday, July 28. It will be at www.ranchodeluxe.net from 1:00 – 4:00 p.m. That’s at Rancho Deluxe, 14010 Ranch Road 12, Wimberley, TX. I rarely do book signings these days, so if you’re in the area, drop by and say hi. Feel free to bring friends. Let’s party.

The miracles coaches who run my Zero Limits coaching program at http://zero-limits-coaching.com forwarded the following email to me (used here with the permission of the author). This helps illustrate the three stages of awakening I describe in my book Zero Limits. Enjoy. – joe

I have completed my 2nd pass through the Zero Limits book and have listened to a fair portion of it more than once in audio form. 

I am positively buzzing with excitement.  Not only do I believe I really ‘get it’ but, by clearing the channel between me and God by cleaning ME, I have already seen fantastic miraculous events occur in my life.  Not the least of which is the fabulous response I relayed to you yesterday for my Champion Success Workshop on the 28th.  I have received even more paid registrations since my last message and I have not even sent my email promotion to my list yet.

I was particularly impacted by the description of the 3 phases Joe provides in the Epilogue.  As I read it, I was inspired to write this email to you. 

I have no idea “why” I have been inspired to write this, but if I have learned anything at all, it is to follow inspiration when I get it.  I am 100% certain there is a Divine reason and that is good enough for me.  I apologize for its length but I hope you will indulge me while I ‘gush’ in sincere appreciation for you.  =0))   I also sincerely hope you would be willing to share it with Joe, along with my sincerest thanks and gratitude for all he has done in bringing all of this growth and enlightenment, as well as all of you wonderful people, into my life.  I can honestly and sincerely declare that I will never be the same again.  Thank you!

Relative to the Phases Joe describes, I think I did not spend much of my life in Phase 1.   As you two know, I (or better stated “Stevie’) moved right along into “action”, working to earn value, love, and attention, and quickly entered what I would describe as Phase 2a.  Al-beit driven by “Stevie” and the memories he loves so much, for the vast majority of my life, I considered myself to be “in control”.  As in, “I make it happen”, ”I drive results and create my worldly success”.  “I am the one”  (Remind me to relay a funny image about the phrase “I’m the leader” and a Disney film next time we talk.  You’ll laugh)

While earning millions of dollars and experiencing what most would consider a wildly successful career in VC backed hi-tech startups, living for 30+ years in Phase 2a, wealthy and miserable, ultimately lead me to total burnout and on to seek something better.  Something that ‘made it all make sense’.  I thought leaving the corporate world for a home based business was the answer.  Much to my surprise, after making the full transition and ‘earning my way’ to the top of the program, I found to my dismay that Stevie was still running things and I had not improved my situation one iota.  In fact, in one way I had made matters worse by letting go of a high 6 figure income and several 7 figure stock option deals.  In relative desperation, I began seeking elsewhere for the answer.  I overheard someone mention The Secret and by following a series of inspirations that followed, I devoured that movie, the What The Bleep movies, The Attractor Factor and a 1/2 a dozen or more other similar books and audio programs.  I was still totally lost.  Then through the miracle of ‘Joe’s email invitation’ to the Miracles Coaching Program, I entered Phase 2b, which roughly aligns with what Joes describes as Phase 2 in Zero Limits.

In Phase 2b, I have become intimate, to varying degrees of success (LOL), with intentions, clearing counter intention, recognizing and following inspiration, again with varying degrees for proficiency; painfully so when I was not so ‘present’ (LOL).  It is important for me to say that were it not for you two and the Miracles Program, I do not believe I would have successfully navigated to Phase 2b successfully.  Certainly not in the time I believe I reached a meaningful level of recognition and acceptance of Responsibility.  Clearly there is still lots of opportunity for continued growth and as you know I am ravenous for more of that (of course being cognizant and cautious to love Stevie enough to keep him quiet)

After experiencing Zero Limits, I now feel as if I am screaming at Mach10 right through Phase 2b into Phase 3 with my total and complete recognition, identification and acceptance of the fact that there are Zero Limits and the Ho Oponopono method of healing.  I know I have been communicating my excitement about this over the last few days, but today, during my quiet time completing Zero Limits for the second time, I felt totally, unbelievably, and irreversibly,  transformed.

I accept the high probability that I will continue to struggle from time to time, but as much as I said the very same thing just 3 weeks ago, it is even more true today, that I have never felt more connected to the Divine.  LIFE IS GREAT!

I find myself continually and “incessantly” cleaning.  In virtually every challenging experience I ask myself, “what is it in me that has caused me to experience this thing this way…whatever it is God, I love you, I am sorry for holding the memory that created this experience for me, please forgive me, and thank you for healing me.  And every single time, something miraculous happens.  Perhaps not as I expected it, perhaps not as I ‘said’ I wanted or ‘intended’ it, BUT, if not how I asked for it, something better.  Every time. 

And, I have also found that when I have a good experience, it is automatic for me to immediately express sincere gratitude, “oh thank you for bringing this experience to me”.  And then, something else GREAT happens.  WOW!

I am so appreciative to every person, every thing, every circumstance and every event that has been divinely manifested to bring this experience into my life this way, I am literally (and somewhat embarrassingly) tearful with joy.  I feel so joyful, it like my heart is to big for my chest.   I suppose this is what God means when he says “that your joy may be full”

Anyway, I just had to communicate this to you.  Life is truly miraculous when we can get ourselves – our egos and our memories – out of the way.

THANK YOU, I LOVE YOU ALL.

I’m sleepy here in San Diego but I’ve noticed a trend with the critics of my latest book, Zero Limits.

They seem to object that there is only one cleaning method revealed in the book, and that to learn more you have to attend a seminar.

I want to say that the most powerful cleaning method I know of is the one in the book.

You don’t need another one.

The one in the book is what Dr. Hew Len used to help heal that entire ward of mentally ill criminals.

He’s been using it for 25 years now.

The one in the book is what I use all the time, every day, even right now, as I type this.

Again, you don’t need anything more. The book was written as an entertaining story to convey the one method in self i-dentity ho’oponopono that I believe is the single most important one to use.

And again, if you want more, attend a seminar. Dr. Hew Len and I will do a Zero Limits one in Maui in December. He offers them on ho’oponopono all the time.

But all you really need is what’s in the book.

Ao Akua,

PS – Most people “get” the book and call it an awakening device all by itself. This post wasn’t for them. 🙂

If you prefer audio listening over reading, you’ll be glad to know Zero Limits the book is now on audio and available for download.

The audios were recorded by me and by Dr. Hew Len, my coauthor, with contributions from others, too. It is the entire book on audio. It makes for a beautiful listening experience. I’m very excited to have the blend of Dr. Hew Len’s charismatic voice with my own on this recording.

If you go to either www.itunes.com (in the Audio Books section) or to www.audible.com and search for “Joe Vitale,” you will find four books by me on audios ready for download:

Zero Limits
Buying Trances
The Attractor Factor
Life’s Missing Instruction Manual

Personally, I think www.audible.com is easier to search, but do whichever works for you.

Also, if you missed the action packed teleseminar the other night with Noah St. John interviewing me about Zero Limits, it’s now available online at www.NoahandJoe.com I think it was one of my best calls ever.
 
As a reminder, the Zero Limits Group Coaching Program starts soon. Details are at http://zero-limits-coaching.com

The book Zero Limits is an official bestseller at Amazon.  If you haven’t gotten it yet, see www.amazon.com or www.bn.com or ask for it at your favorite book store. There are also details at http://www.zerolimits.info 

I guess that’s enough “Zero” talk for today.
