Oprah's doing it again tomorrow! Your desire is your Higher Self speaking to you, awaiting manifestation... If you've ever heard me speak or read any of my books, you've probably heard me say, "The Latin root of the word desire means 'of the Father.'" How cool is that? What is it you really want in your life? What do you desire? What gets you passionate? When you have a desire for something, it's your Higher Self speaking, prodding, wishing you to grow. Understand that your Creator doesn't want you to have toys and things. Your Creator doesn't want you to do certain things. Your Creator wants you to become the person necessary to have and do those things. Are you with me? Spirit is always for fuller expression and expansion...Your Creator wants you to grow. I remember years ago hearing one of my mentors say, "Decide to be a millionaire, but not for the green slips of paper. Do it for who you will have to become to get there." When I heard him say that, I decided to follow his challenge. Now, I challenge you to join the adventure.You see, your current results are a direct reflection of the person you have become up to this point. Why is it that those who win the lottery in our country, almost without exception, are flat broke and miserable within 2 years? It's because they have not yet become the type of person necessary to live at that particular level of income and life. It takes a bigger person to make $100,000 per year than one who makes $10,000 per year... and an even bigger person to make $100,000 per month than one who makes $10,000 per month. Understand, I did not say a "better" person...There isn't one of us that's better than anyone else. We've all been given the same potential from our Creator. But it does take a "bigger" person. It takes a person who is willing to stretch, take risks and massive action and have tremendous faith. There is only one objective in this life: to fully expand and grow into your full capability. Your desire is calling you... challenging you to take the next peak, to become the person necessary to rise above your current plateau... No matter how favorable it may currently be. The great mythologist Joseph Campbell said, "The only question in life is whether or not you are going to answer a hearty 'Yes!' to your adventure." Answer YES! Believe in yourself. Take the leap of faith. You'll be glad you did and your life will be magnificent! To your continued wealth and happiness, P.S. Two Harmonic Wealth Weekends have already sold out this year and the next the three are filling up fast. If you're thinking of attending this year, be sure to sign up before they all sell out. |

I find it quite telling that the Today show chose to spend the 7 minutes the program allotted this topic, denigrating the Law of Attraction, focusing on it's so called harmful effects and reducing it to fluffy "positive thinking" or "simple desire", when it is so much more.
They spent more time in the previous hour regurgitating the Anna Nicole Smith story for the seven thousandth time (can you say OVERDONE?) and investigating the fascination with celebrity in our country. What about those harmful effects? Not even mentioned. Telling, very telling.
Yes, The Secret is new packaging. So what? "What the Bleep Do We Know" is a movie of the same concept with as many, if not more doctors, scientists, spiritual leaders etc., spouting the same facts and science, but because it did not reach the masses like the Rhonda Byrne movie, no one felt the need to gather a flurry of experts to dispute the validity. Oh wait, experts? A professor, a writer/editor of Newsweek and an uninformed psychiatrist, not exactly what I would call experts, but have it your way NBC, more power to you.
It's sad that a movie that has the possibility of giving people power over their lives and taking them OUT of victim mode is so scary to the mainstream media. What are they afraid of? Did any of them even watch The Secret? Most likely not, as evidenced by Dr. Gail Saltz misleading statement insinuating that the movie claims if you think hard enough about not having cancer then you don’t have to go out and get chemotherapy or radiation. Absolutely not even close to what the movies states and she and Matt could not have misconstrued the message of the movie more. Why she felt the need to cut off James to spew this nonsense is unimaginable. Dr. Saltz seems to want to keep people in victim mode by telling them that what happens to them is not related to the thoughts, beliefs and feelings they are sending out.
Thankfully I give the people more credit than Dr. Saltz does. I am confident that anyone who actually watches the movie will see through her total misunderstanding of these concepts. The real fact is whether one is thinking "have cancer" or "not have cancer" the fact that one is thinking "cancer" at all is the real issue. What you focus on expands. That is fact. Watch it occur in the negative as much as in the positive.
The movie never claims to heal cancer by positive thinking. "Secret Teacher" Bob Proctor clearly states "Let the doctors worry about the disease while you focus on health and well being." To mislead the public by stating that The Secret advises positive thinking as the cure of disease or the cure of any woe is downright despicable and misleading. And the fact that media outlets (Larry King and CNN are also guilty of this) insist upon describing the Law of Attraction as mere positive thinking is infuriating. Anyone with half a brain could watch the movie and understand this is far from the case.
Thank God for people like Oprah and Ellen who give The Secret the time and explanation that it deserves. The world is transforming and you can't stop the evolution of consciousness. But you can stop viewers from tuning into your show. This one just did. And I have a lot of friends and family. Shame on you NBC and the Today show.
Whether you think you can or whether you think you can't - either way you are RIGHT. THAT is the Law of Attraction.

Namaste.

Oh my! The Doc is quite the skeptic! More than that, she is radiates shutdowness and negativity. I noticed I didn't feel any joy radiating from her nor was her physical carriage one of joy.
James you did brilliantly with the little time they allowed you to say anything without being interupted.
The world will get what the world will get from this interview, the Newsweek coverage (boy did the Newsweek writer radiate grumpy negativity!)as well as The Secret. The world is waking up to the truth of WHO is really here!
All Love,
Amy
First off, I want to say one big 'way to go James'!!! That you stuck in there despite Rhonda not being there (for whatever reason). And that you are playing in the big leagues with this. The Today Show no less. Congrats on hitting some of your own personal goals (Oprah, Larry King, etc). Good on you! Very inspirational.
Secondly, I'm just glad that someone (James!) who has been preparing for this for quite some time, is now prepared enough to handle these kinds of hot seats. You did a great job ... I felt the interview ended on a 'to be continued kind of note'. It was starting to get into a juicy discussion, with interesting points on either side. Things that need to be hashed out so folks can really get what LOA is truly about.
Even though the angle was obviously a little skewed from the big biz / media bias, James did an admirable job in holding his own. And was respectful ... something I think is very important to demonstrate in all of this. It is ok to have different beliefs. To discuss these ideas with civility.
It is really a different paradigm that LOA is about. The doctor even saying 'people focusing on not getting cancer' ... nope, she doesn't get it. You won't get any where by focusing on what you don't want.
Ahhhhh, so great that these kinds of conversations and debates are going on. Obviously its difficult to fit anything into 30 second sound bites ... especially what is really being said with LOA.
Yes, The Secret has its flaws or weak points ... what doesn't. However its playing a wonderful role in creating debate and introducing people to some different ways of thinking ... outside of our current victim consciousness that seems to reign so supreme.
Again, congrats James. I look forward to seeing the next morphs and shifts that the LOA path takes ... and thank you for your public role in helping these things unfold.
In gratitude. Christina Merkley
The only way the "skeptics" (aka Source's Co-Creators) can reverse this phenomenon is for them to embrace the principles and focus on the opposite..... which would mean they would have to endorse the message in the film. Win-win.
Supporters or skeptics....it's all good! Really.
That seat was so hot it was smoking!
Here's my comment in a nutshell. Truth is in the eye of the beholder. Science or no science, real or not real, I choose to believe because my life has shown the results of removing limiting beliefs. I am finally becoming the example of possibility I always knew I could be but didn't know how.
That woman was sent in to play devil's advocate and that is such a good thing, because every time a person stands up for their beliefs it reinforces the passion behind them.
You eased elegantly through that one and I am grateful everyday for this fantastic journey!
Well Done.
