In ancient times and cultures there existed individuals whose span of experience and study encompassed broad scopes of knowledge – they were called philosophers. Dr John Demartini is a modern day philosopher. His scope of knowledge is a culmination of 34 years of research and studies of more than 28,000 texts into over 200 different disciplines ranging from psychology, philosophy, metaphysics, theology, neurology and physiology.

Today Dr Demartini speaks 300 days a year in over fifty countries across the globe and is the author of over forty books. As a presenter he has shared the stage with such noted speakers as Stephen Covey, Dr Donald Beck, Mark Victor Hansen, Deepak Chopra, Wayne Dyer, Dr Patch Adams and many others.

Whatever you concentrate your thoughts and feelings upon grows into your living reality.

Q: What is The Secret?

Dr Demartini: The Secret is that “You bring about what you think about”, that is the law of attraction and that is the power we have to design our destiny.

Whatever you concentrate your thoughts and feelings upon grows into your living reality. Your inner most dominant thoughts become our outermost tangible reality. Until you plant flowers into the garden of your mind you will forever pull weeds.

Q: How can you apply The Secret once it has been revealed to you?

Dr Demartini: You attract into your life those things that are related to what you send out in the form of your thoughts. Your innermost dominant thought becomes your outermost tangible reality. Applying The Secret starts with examining your thinking process. Start to decide what it is you would love to think about and as a result attract it into your life. Become silent and present for a moment and deeply concentrating on what you would truly love to be, do and have in this world and what inspired services and rewards you would love to offer and be offered.

Q: Why isn’t The Secret being utilised by everybody?

Dr Demartini: The Secret actually is being utilized on an unconscious level by everyone. The key is taking command of your life and utilizing it consciously. Many of us are conditioned to believe that our lives are determined by outside forces beyond our control. Due to this most people do not even question their ability to consciously design their destiny or the existence of The Secret or in fact any secret at all. They do as they are told and think the thoughts they are fed from other assumed authorities and / or the media. Once they have been exposed to the idea however, it resonates with something inside them and their lives are potentially changed forever.

Q: Who has been keeping The Secret from the human race for all these years and why?

Dr Demartini: Some say it is the religious institutions and various governments around the world. I choose to believe The Secret has always been right in front of us and been played out unconsciously however our conditioning and fears have not allowed us to see it. As we move into a new era, we are becoming more evolved as individuals and more able to accept and embrace the idea that we truly do create our own reality. Science is now confirming that. Because people have subordinated themselves to outside authorities and not believed in their greater capacity to be their true and magnificent selves they have lived with limitations instead of giving themselves conscious permission to be creative and shine.
