Book: God’s Debris*

A friend of mine sent me the book with this message in August 08:

Have an amazing time reading it, but I want you to do something for me!
Read upto page 44 at once (or at least in a two reading session period) and when you reach and finish upto page 44, sms me ur comments.
Ill reply with something depending on what you sms/how u feel about what you read!

I’ve read like he said. And the moment I read the last word at page 44 I turned off the computer and stared into nothing for a while. I can’t finish the book. I haven’t still processed the idea..hehehe..Oh and my reply to my friend’s message isn’t appropriate to display here ~blushes~

It’s a weird book. To me, I was reading my deepest thoughts about everything in life which I don’t dare to talk about even to myself. And page 44 was the thing that removed the dead end I had before to find many others ofcourse..

It’s a thought experiment just as the author mentioned in his very interesting introduction. It’s meant to be fun and you should think of it as if you’re training your brain for a while. The author made it clear that he doesn’t agree with the ideas and theories presented in the book.

 I haven’t finished the book yet. I might this weekend. So this blog post isn’t a book review (I don’t believe in reviews). I just want to share the experience with anyone who might read this. But I have to warn you, read about the book first and think well before deciding to read it. Because once you do, it will change the way you think and live forever, no matter what your beliefs are. And if you’re an extremely religious person or an extremely atheist one, do NOT read it.

Here’s the book synopsis:

Imagine that you meet a very old man who — you eventually realize — knows literally everything. Imagine that he explains for you the great mysteries of life — quantum physics, evolution, God, gravity, light, psychic phenomenon, and probability — in a way so simple, so novel, and so compelling that it all fits together and makes perfect sense. What does it feel like to suddenly understand everything? God’s Debris isn’t the final answer to the Big Questions. But it might be the most compelling vision of reality you will ever read. The thought experiment is this: Try to figure out what’s wrong with the old man’s explanation of reality. Share the book with your smart friends then discuss it later while enjoying a beverage.

*It’s the book’s title. Written by Scott Adams . The author of the famous Dilbert’s comics.

The Secret

“As you learn The Secret, you will come to know how you can have be, or do anything you want. You will come to know who you really are. You will come to know the true magnifecence that awaits you in life. “

This was from the Introduction of the book The Secret by Rhonda Byrne. It really got my interest although I’m not a big fan of such “guide to life” books.

The Secret as the book says is called the “Law Of Attraction” (LOA). It’s really simple: “Thoughts become things”. What you think is what you get. When you have a thought, you send the thought as a wave with a specific frequency and the universe receives this frequency and gives you back the thought manifested right in front of you!!! YES that simple!!!! It’s like you’re a big magnet that attracts like stuff because according to the law: “like attracts like”.

The book also simplifies the secret. You have 60,000 thoughts per day, and since it’s hard to control each one, you can control them by your emotions. If you feel good, then you must be thinking pleasant thoughts, and if you feel bad then you must be thinking unpleasant thoughts. The book suggests to use some kind of mood shifters so that when you’re feeling bad, use these shifters to switch your mood or feeling to Good, so you can attract the good manifestation of the thoughts.

How to use the secret?! Three simple steps using the example of “losing weight”:

1- Ask: it’s like placing an order! you do it once. Don’t think about what you DON’T want, think about what you DO want! Don’t say ” I don’t want to get fat”, say “I want to lose weight” instead. Get some goal photos of how do you want to look like!

2- Believe: Start acting as if you got what you want, and feel GOOD about it. Send the universe the frequency that you have it so it can bring it back to you. If you think that you don’t have it yet. This is what you’ll get: not having it. Start acting as if you already lost weight, don’t buy new cloths anymore for the current weight. BELIEVE you lost it! and feel GOOD about it! Enjoy your food, the flavor, the texture and don’t think about the calories or the fat! Don’t send “fat thoughts”!

3- Receive: Just sit and it will come to you. Whatever you want! The author has successfully lost her weight from almost 145 pounds to 116 pounds!

The book talks about the Secret to money, relationships, health, the world, you and life! I really recommend reading this book..it’s full of MANY things I couldn’t cover here! Whether you’re a believer or not, it’s where theologists and quantum physicists meet. Whatever you call it: energy, supreme power, god..etc. It’s there! It’s the most powerful power ever existed. Have faith in it! And it’ll get you what you want…you’ll get to write your own future, your own destiny!

I finished the book in two days. There was this example of a guy who tested the secret by thinking about a unique feather and couple of days later he found the exact feather in the street right before his feet!! So i thought I should do that too to test this LOA. For two days, I kept thinking about a “Red Cup of Coffee”, I couldn’t control my thoughts that much, the thoughts were different (a mug, drinking with friends, alone, small, large…etc) but they all had a RED cup of COFFEE. 2 days ago I was going home and right infront of the car in the middle of the highway there was this red Nescafe cup! To tell you the truth….it freaked me out 😀 I don’t know if it counts, that I really attracted that cup of coffee with my thoughts I kept thinking for two days or it meant nothing!

I don’t know…anyways it is an interesting book and I really really recommend the book to you to read! It’s really fun and makes you feel good about yourself!
