The Key, the missing secret for attracting anything you want.

When I was a child and learning to use my mom’s sewing machine, I would find myself frustrated as the thread would slip out of the needle or knot up. Once, my mother entered the room to find me in a tighter knot than the thread. She gently fixed my mess and added, “This machine only works when you smile.” I laughed and soon discovered that I had no more sewing machine troubles.

What is the key to getting what we want out of life? According to Joe Vitale the key is our belief structure.

Faith will move mountains. But, to get where we want to go in life we need more than faith, alone. We need to be open and receptive to the universe and all of it’s wonderful possibilities. Joe Vitale states that the block to reacting our potential, realizing our dreams, and attracting our wants, is our own restricting belief system. Our, (in most cases) layers upon layers of compiled unconscious assumptions.

In his book “The Key,” Vitale offers 10 clearing methods to remove inaccurate and acquired hidden, or unconscious beliefs; allowing us to go after the life we want. Vitale deems that we are living in a belief driven universe. Our beliefs as to what is possible, our realities, and our worthiness, etc., filters what comes to us. What we believe (consciously and unconsciously) is what we get.

Vitale states, we may understand a particular reality but, we must be able to take it out of the cerebral and feel it, to be living in the moment. If we aren’t feeling it, then we aren’t really there, attracting anything. And, for those of us not doing personal upkeep, a reminder that stuck negative emotions do block the healthy positive emotional flow within us, and that which is attracted to us.

Vitale says, "Holding on to past emotions, memories, or stories is guaranteed to tie up your energy and block your ability to attract what you want. What you have to do now is forgive. I used to struggle with this one," he says. "I was afraid that if I forgave someone, I would not learn the lesson they gave me and I would be suckered again. But as I looked at that belief, I realized it was just that: a belief. It wasn't reality. It wasn't factual. It wasn't true."

Though I have never used Joe Vitale’s methods to attract a car, for example. I will say what he preaches bares truth. Several of the clearing suggestions offered in the book, I have discovered on my own, as a means of working through life’s problems and confusions. Is life as straight forward as, ask and you shall receive? The Bible says so. However, does Joe Vitale have all the keys to these mysteries in his hand/book? I don’t think so, (oh-oh, me of little faith?) However, this may be a great place to start. His principles are worthy and necessary as a healthy approach to living. And who knows, a mansion just may be barreling down the universe in your direction.

Some of the methods Vitale has outlined to help clear us of restraints are: cogitative therapy, reading, love and appreciation, lofty goals, options, imagery, and miracles coaching. “The Key” is filled with inspiring quotes, and full of book, and web site suggestions to increase understanding and find help, or direction.

Vitale says, “You are the sky not the clouds. The clouds are thoughts. The sky observes and lets them pass.”
