Annemarie Postma - The Deeper Secret: What Does Life Want From You?

W e are all creating continually, whether we are conscious of it or not. In order to create the life that you were born to live, you must become aware of your creative power, harness it, and learn to use it purposefully. You are a direct reflection of the universe with its unlimited potential, and there is nothing you cannot achieve. But this is not the same as saying that you can bend the universe to your will.

The universe knows exactly what you want; it hears each and every one of your wishes and desires. But it also sees where your desires come from and whether or not they will serve you well. It knows your life purpose and can tell whether you are living in line with that purpose. The universe is intelligent, loving, and generous; it always gives you exactly what you require, but not always what you think you need.

It wants to know if you have the courage to fully participate in your fate. Only then can the universe gather all its forces to help you fulfill your potential.

It guides you to create the life you want, the life you were meant to livenot by fantasizing about having your every wish magically fulfilled, but by working with twelve powerful laws of creation, of which the law of attraction is only a small part. These laws combined form your real creative power.

Each of the chapters ahead explores the workings of one of the twelve laws and ends with a set of suggestions for putting it into practice in your own life. Many of these suggestions call for reflection and self-examination, which you can do in whatever way works best for youperhaps by writing in a journal or meditating on key questions. There is a meditation practice at the end of the book that you may find useful as a method for your inner inquiries.

Nothing just falls out of the sky, however much you wish for it and however positively you think. The real secret to getting what you want is threefold. The first step is to refine the quality of your wish so that you are clear about what you want and why, and you truly believe it can be yours. The second step involves an inner decision to want what you want with the whole of your heart and mind. The third step is taking full responsibility for your choice and its consequences.

You cant really want something until no other option is attractive enough for you to devote your energy to. This point is different for everyone; some people are prepared to try a new path only when their backs are against the wall, when change is their last resort because their old, familiar ways of thinking and acting no longer bring the abundance they crave into their lives. The truth is, if you are still holding onto your old beliefs and making excuses for continuing in your old way of thinking and acting, then you dont
