5.0 out of 5 stars The Secret saved my life!, December 4, 2007
By Ari Brouillette
Please allow me to share with you how "The Secret" changed my life and in a very real and substantive way allowed me to overcome a severe crisis in my personal life. It is well known that the premise of "The Secret" is the science of attracting the things in life that you desire and need and in removing from your life those things that you don't want. Before finding this book, I knew nothing of these principles, the process of positive visualization, and had actually engaged in reckless behaviors to the point of endangering my own life and wellbeing.
At age 36, I found myself in a medium security prison serving 3-5 years for destruction of government property and public intoxication. This was stiff punishment for drunkenly defecating in a mailbox but as the judge pointed out, this was my third conviction for the exact same crime. I obviously had an alcohol problem and a deep and intense disrespect for the postal system, but even more importantly I was ignoring the very fabric of our metaphysical reality and inviting destructive influences into my life.
My fourth day in prison was the first day that I was allowed in general population and while in the recreation yard I was approached by a prisoner named Marcus who calmly informed me that as a new prisoner I had been purchased by him for three packs of Winston cigarettes and 8 ounces of Pruno (prison wine). Marcus elaborated further that I could expect to be raped by him on a daily basis and that I had pretty eyes.
Needless to say, I was deeply shocked that my life had sunk to this level. Although I've never been homophobic I was discovering that I was very rape phobic and dismayed by my overall personal street value of roughly $15. I returned to my cell and sat very quietly, searching myself for answers on how I could improve my life and distance myself from harmful outside influences. At that point, in what I consider to be a miraculous moment, my cell mate Jim Norton informed me that he knew about the Marcus situation and that he had something that could solve my problems. He handed me a copy of "The Secret". Normally I wouldn't have turned to a self help book to resolve such a severe and immediate threat but I literally didn't have any other available alternatives. I immediately opened the book and began to read.
The first few chapters deal with the essence of something called the "Law of Attraction" in which a primal universal force is available to us and can be harnessed for the betterment of our lives. The theoretical nature of the first few chapters wasn't exactly putting me at peace. In fact, I had never meditated and had great difficulty with closing out the chaotic noises of the prison and visualizing the positive changes that I so dearly needed. It was when I reached Chapter 6 "The Secret to Relationships" that I realized how this book could help me distance myself from Marcus and his negative intentions. Starting with chapter six there was a cavity carved into the book and in that cavity was a prison shiv. This particular shiv was a toothbrush with a handle that had been repeatedly melted and ground into a razor sharp point.
The next day in the exercise yard I carried "The Secret" with me and when Marcus approached me I opened the book and stabbed him in the neck. The next eight weeks in solitary confinement provided ample time to practice positive visualization and the 16 hours per day of absolute darkness made visualization about the only thing that I actually could do. I'm not sure that everybody's life will be changed in such a dramatic way by this book but I'm very thankful to have found it and will continue to recommend it heartily.

Yeah, when I saw that in Steve's journal, I laughed so hard I almost peed myself. That guy's comment was PRICELESS! :D
 
Val, you're looking SUPER HOT! And your yoga positions are beautiful :)

Drunk text messages are almost worse than drunk phone calls or emails ... I still get them from exes. I'm not sure what they're thinking ...

Are you and PZ "together"? :p

:) Yes, I decided on NYE in the car ride to SF that PZ is my boyfriend. However, the L Bomb has not been dropped and I don't have any desire or need for that, currently. I DO like PZ, we have yet to have a fight or be pissy, or even really disagree on anything. This is great, the relationship is happy, fun, and healthy--with no crazy intense emotions. Exactly what I wanted :)

Wow, you are so lucky Valerie.. Enjoy your time with a laid back guy like this. Shiat and he better enjoy too, he is lucky to have you!
 
Valerie has a boyfriend lalalalala :party: totally unexpected lol

hehe i'm very happy for you and PZ :)

i love meeting random people when i'm out...i've met a lot of very fun and intelligent persons like that...in bars, in aerobic classes, hell even on bus stops and shops.

the latest was two random people on a bus from bf to home. she's a basketball fan, economist and completely spirited and he is a politically active philosopher interested in gender identity...talked to both of them for at least four hours. very interesting people :)

this year is socially a bit more relaxing than past one. i met soooo many people last year, i can barely keep up with all of them :)

oh i saw your photos. awesome :D you look very lean and sexy and enjoying yourself.

sorry to hear Chris was down like that. it must be so difficult seeing your friend in need like that. his lucky to have you by his side.

No kidding--I appreciate parodies and the lighter side of things. And comedy. In my opinion, EVERYTHING is open to ridicule, although there are many times I'll refrain from personal pokes at sensitive folks. Heh! :D

Thanks you two! I want to take more pictures, these were at the end of the day AFTER I'd already had an hour and 15 minute Yoga class and I was a bit tired, and hadn't really warmed up. I'll get more eventually.

Thanks ladies! Yes, PZ and I are "boyfriend & girlfriend." :p

Interesting note: the contrast of this relationship versus my last is incredible. My feelings for the ex a year ago were intense and I seriously was madly in love with him--but I didn't (still don't) LIKE him. And I got hurt and angry very easy from interaction with him. I LIKE PZ a lot. He hasn't even done anything to piss me off or hurt my feelings, in fact, he's done sweet little things that make me jump up and down with appreciation--for example, I mentioned that I like flannel sheets best, randomly. A few days ago he went out and bought flannel sheets and put them on his bed before I came over and spent the night :beating: Or when he gets sparking wine, he buys my favorite and the kind that my company distributes :) The ex never did shit like that, but when I kissed the ex it was electric and titillating every time. I don't feel that way when I kiss PZ, BUT I prefer this relationship because it's fun, easy, and without conflict, and I enjoy his company more. That's the deal.

Thanks for the kind words, Lena! I was at Chris's house last night, keeping him company and he fed me some tilapia sticks that were lo-calorie. He's in a LOT of pain and getting worse :( This sucks!

I bet you do! I wish you could, we in Cali have been ENJOYING the 70 degree weather, it was WARM last night and this morning, too! :D

Update: I need a CR2032 battery for my scale. I had my face peel yesterday and just went to Chris's after and watched Gross Point Blank and ate tilapia fillets with him. He had a headache and wasn't doing too well--I was grumpy and PMSing. We both tried to be chipper and pleasant but it was just one of those days for us!

I was exhausted when I got home, and Barre was there. Fortunately Barre wasn't partying, so I didn't have to wear earplugs :) to bed--my bed was SO soft and warm, and I slept all the way through and woke up this morning, feeling better than I have in a few weeks--no coughing! My cold is FINALLY gone :svengo:

According to my calculations, I did not create enough deficit to elicit a pounds lost--if anything, my weight is probably the same, or down .5. I'll find out ASAP. This next week I'm going to try harder--it's also going to be my period week :ack2: That's OK! All the better to watch my intake more carefully! I'm armed with avocado, Amy's organic burritos, and soup--filling, healthy, low-cal stuff! :D
 
Vall Doll,

I'm so happy to hear about you and PZ. I remember back when when I wanted to rock your ex's ass into the ground for being such a prick. Personally speaking, the smallest things that people do for you out of the blue are the sweetest. For instance, the flannel sheet thing was just adorable. See... now that's a man who pays attention to small details. Gotta love that. Besides, you deserve a man who's going to surprise you here and there. That's what a relationship is all about. (Believe me.... I'm gonna get there soon enough. haha)

Well, doll.... I'm there with you on period week. I can feel that fucker creeping about, so I hear you on keeping your cals low. Anyways, just dropping a note to check up on you, babygirl. All my best to Chris. I hope he starts feeling better... :hug2:

-Sheryl

Sheryl, you are Queen :hug2: Thank you so much! I agree with the sweet surprises, I did that shit for the ex all the time--I now need to focus my efforts on PZ because I think I've let myself sit back and enjoy his surprises :biggrinjester: Now I want to step up and do something sweet for HIM other than say nice things, text him goodnight, and do bomb sexual favors, heh heh :drool5: I have some ideas and I can't wait for V-DAY!! :beating:

I KNOW you will get there too, sweetheart! :grouphug: I'm starting to think that life doesn't dole out good partners until we learn a bunch of important lessons.....weird, I was all about randomnimity before :confused:

No SHIT on the PMS :reddevil: Where's the chocolate? :drooling:

Thank you :) I do my best to make Chris comfortable but alas, his condition worsens :cry:
 
:party: BURNING MAN TICKETS GO ON SALE TOMORROW AT 10AM PST!!!! :party:​

I have been hungry, crabby and bratty all day due to PMS. But I've been nice to my co-workers!! :)--good grief, I'm lucky I have my own office!!!! Thanks to Amy's frozen burritos and soups, I managed to eat a Dagoba organic lavender blueberry chocolate bar (dark, but 59% cacao) and still be low in my calories :D However, I'm fighting hunger and I grabbed a spare Kombucha, which is nice because it's cold, fizzy, tasty (to ME, LOL), big, healthy, and only 60 calories. I'm determined to stay in my range for today, despite wanting to inhale a pizza. LOL!

I have belly dancing and Yoga today, that should cheer my ass up. I promised Chris I's stop by on the way home but I forgot what for--there was a reason but mainly it's to help him get through the intense pain. Yesterday I was NOT feelin' it, but I was there to comfort him anyway. POOR THING had a horrible headache and lost one of his medications--if you're interested, it's this one: Haloperidol - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia My face is like I burned it in an oven, and is about to peel from my facial. My boyfriend is sweet and doesn't judge me for not wanting to show my face to him :eek:

Basically the people in my life are great. I had great conversations with Alta and Melissa today and I was thinking I'd go to San Jose and shop, have dinner, and Man-Hunt with Melissa and be her wing woman. No problem there, because guys will be like, "DAMN who is that model next to that hippie?" and be all over her. LOL! I'm trying to get Alta to go to Burning Man with me but she's worried about the logistics and I don't blame her, but I kept emphasizing she needs to get her ticket NOW and can sell it later if she changes her mind. I'm really excited about the projects I could get involved in. So far, I decided my contribution to The Man will be:
1. teaching Acroyoga (by then I'll be good :))
2. Belly dancing with random B.M. troupes, or who knows by then I might have my own troupe
3. bringing lots of wine and glasses (and cheesecloth to keep out some dust)
4. bringing tea, too

what else? Oh yeah, for all those on WLF who have family and loved ones who are suffering, I am so sorry and I hope things turn out OK! There's a lot of you out there....I been reading! :(

Ok back to more reading....
 
Wow, long time!

Man, I wish I could go to burning man :(

Sounds like you're still happily cruising along.... happy new year!
