It took me years to understand the value of this ancient principle. I realized much of what I shared about my life came from my need for validation, acceptance, attention and approval. Then, I examined WHO I was sharing my life with and the revelations I received took me years to accept.
Wouldn’t people be happy for me if they knew what I was working toward? Wouldn’t they be fully supportive if I shared what good things were happening in my life? Didn’t they want to hear all of my aspirations and plans? Why did it seem that my hopes, dreams, and desires came to a screeching halt after confiding in my most intimate relationships? What was I missing?
I learned many years ago from a teacher I admired and respected, that keeping your prayer and practice hidden was the fastest way to see it express itself in your life. He explained that by sharing these secret things in conversation with others I was guaranteeing their failure. That to discuss my personal practice of spiritual expression or my heart’s deep desires with those who weren’t pursuing the advancement of consciousness, would deplete the power I was building in my own consciousness.
This Law of Secrecy is the first Law that must be observed in receiving the answer to our prayer, the revelation of our desire. Most people are missing this practice and it’s costing them the agony of WAITING for their desires to manifest or worse, being chronically disappointed because so many prayers have gone seemingly “unanswered”.
This episode has a clear explanation of what usually gets in the way of receiving the good things we desire and how to appropriately implement the Law of Secrecy in our own lives.
