On another note I went to Douglas Vermeeren’s seminar MAXIMUM ACHIEVEMENT it was really astounding. I have been attending seminars for a while and I found this one really delivers. This guy is definitely someone I highly recommend. Up there with greats like Tony Robbins, Jack Canfield, Zig Ziglar and others. Powerful in The Opus - Even more dynamic in person.

When my son was a 6 year-old, Nicholas told me that he wanted to find a four-leaf clover, because he had heard that they bring you good luck. Unable to find one quickly, he became frustrated and discouraged. I tried to explain to him that four-leaf clovers are special because they are rare and difficult to find. I assured him that if he really wants to find a four-leaf clover that he needs to really believe and know that he can. I helped emphasize to him that as you feel it to be true, you can and will do things and allow things to happen, in order to help you find your clover. I had actually first suggested to him what seemingly defeats my son’s initial intent: I told Nicholas that we could see whether we could find a four-leaf clover on the Internet. We found one on Ebay. After a couple of dollars and a few days, Nicholas had his four-leaf clover from New Zealand. After receiving it, however, he looked at me and said: But, Daddy, I want to find my own four-leaf clover (which, of course, is the whole point).

After again getting frustrated while looking in our front yard, that is when I told Nicholas about the power of his own belief.Shortly after that time, almost without even seemingly trying, he had literally found at least two dozen four-leaf clovers!I have only recently discovered that within Rhonda Byrne’s best-selling book, Ths Secret, she states that children seem to be particularly atoned to the concepts contained within her inspirational message. Her basic tenant is that the things upon which we focus tend to become our reality, as we allow things to happen and do things, consistent with this structured focus, in order to manifest our desires.

“The Secret” emphasizes the power inherent within the “Law of Attraction.” Although all the ideas shared within this remarkable program are not necessarily based in science, one can nonetheless benefit from acting as if the ideas are all-true, in order to facilitate success. I believe that the true wisdom of "The Secret" is its ability to captivate a world’s imagination, by offering its heartfelt reminder of the true nature of limitless possibilities and the power of human perseverance.

Nineteenth century philosopher, Arthur Schopenhauer, likely summed it best when he said that “All truth passes through three stages. First, it is ridiculed. Second, it is violently opposed. Third, it is accepted as being self-evident.”

In this sense the Universe isn’t something God created (as in astronomy), the Universe IS God.
