Day 3 BookTravelex at 4 pm: My afternoon swap today is at The Red Earth Cafe in the center of Manly. The best place to go with young children. The Cafe is situate on an ugly large empty square behind the Post Office. Out of the tourist route of Manly. The Cafe serves great coffee - all home grown in Australia. There is a fabulous cubby house and lots of toys for the kids. Most of all my kids enjoy the empty square to run around on. The owner Patrick is very family friendly and great towards kids. A great lounge for mums & bubs to snuggle on in.
So here I am reading the afternoon SMH paper. Putting my book The Secret by Rhonda Byrne prominently on the table. It's the book well known around the globe about the so called 'law of attraction'. The book teaches the so called Secret about attracting what ever you want in your life. At the same time stating that wherever you are now in your life you have all created yourself by the attraction rules. It talks to different 'spiritual' tutors from across the globe. They all say the same thing but in different wording.
The book also quotes the earlier 'secret thinkers' as all tutors say the same. 'The Secret' is nothing new it all existed long time ago. Some practice it and some don't and that is where the difference is. 'The spiritual substance from which comes all visible wealth is never depleted. It is right with you all the time and responds to your faith in it and your demands on it' Chalres Jillmore (1854 -1948) Maybe due to the old age of this thinker in the last century, quite unusual, I guess it would be a good idea to give it some thoughts. I'm happy to SWAP! You just have to find me!! and my books!! The best about the book The Secret I find the simple thought that we often focus on that what we don't want instead what we want. By banning newspapers we would do a lot of good in the world as we would stop focusing on all those negative thoughts out there. It's a confirmation of what is and by focusing on it-it only get's bigger. Same for the current crisis. Our beautiful planet produces all we need. It's just stories we make up and live out as great actors in our lives. The best inspiring thought I heard today in this line of positive thinking was a mother who lost her 18 year old son to cancer and who actually said she could now see that her son was the 'grande' gift to her in her life. She decided to live by that gift. I think that is amazing thinking which I guess not many of us would be able to master.
Though maybe we can see everything what happens in our lives as gifts the so called good and the bad and be appreciative for time passing by. As that is the only thing we all can be true witnesses off.
