Cunosti Secretul?

Tags: legea atractiei, the secret
Cu totii avem dorinte, temeri, ganduri, pozitive sau negative. Insa stiati ca este demonstrat stiintific faptul ca gandurile pozitive sunt mult mai puternice decat cele negative? De asemenea este cunoscuta vorba din popor, “De ce ti-e frica, nu scapi!”, si in multe cazuri ciudate se dovedeste a fi adevarat, dar nu stim sa oferim o explicatie pentru aceste cazuri. Pe de alta parte, puterea unui gand pozitiv ne poate aduce ceea ce ne dorim.
Documentarul “The Secret” ne reaminteste de puterea fiecaruia de a obtine ce-si doreste de la Univers, care trebuie privit ca pe Duhul din lampa care in povestea originala ii implinea un numar nelimitat de dorinte lui Alladin. Este prezentata ideea ca noi “atragem” ceea ce ni se intampla: Legea Atractiei. Nu va ramane decat sa urmariti documentarul, pe care vi-l recomand cu caldura, caci acesta poate sa va schimbe modul de gandire.
Documentarul ofera de asemenea citate ale mai multor oameni care au schimbat istoria ca Plato, Leonardo, Galileo, Beethoven, Einstein.

Our task must be to free ourselves from this prison by widening our circle of compassion to embrace all living creatures and the whole of nature in its beauty.”
