Rhonda
Byrne is the author, creator, and executive producer of The Secret, and The Power. She has led millions of people across the
planet to the first step in receiving abundance. This step is awareness. Rhonda Byrne is an iconic figure because she
proves that throughout the ages the law of attraction is evident and can be
applied to everyone’s life.
David
Bohm is a quantum physicist who worked closely with Albert Einstein, Arthur
Schopenhauer, and Georg Hegel. Bohm is
an iconic figure because his Bohm theory suggests it is possible to attribute
properties to an underlying reality which contrasted conventional approaches to
quantum mechanics. "Suppose you
have two religions. Thought defines religion - the thought about the nature of
God and various questions like that. Such thought is very important because it
is about God, who is supposed to be supreme. The thought about what is of
supreme value must have the highest force. So if you disagree about that, the
emotional impact can be very great, and you will then have no way to settle it.
Two different beliefs about God will thus produce intense fragmentation -
similarly with thoughts about the nature of society, which is also very
important, or with ideologies such as communism and capitalism, or with
different beliefs about your family or about your money. Whatever it is that is
very important to you, fragmentation in your thought about it is going to be
very powerful in its effects"
(D. Bohm & Mark Edwards, _Changing Consciousness_, p.
11).
George
Gurdjieff is an iconic figure because his spiritual teachings are embodied with
specific methodology for the development of consciousness. His goal in life was to not bring peace and
harmony but to make man aware of inner warfare and destroy men’s complacency by
making them aware of their limitations.
By what he called ‘conscious labours and intentional sufferings,’ it was
possible to bring about inner development.
“There do exist enquiring minds, which long for the truth of the heart,
seek it, strive to solve the problems set by life, try to penetrate to the essence
of things and phenomena and to penetrate into themselves. If a man reasons and
thinks soundly, no matter which path he follows in solving these problems, he
must inevitably arrive back at himself, and begin with the solution of the
problem of what he is himself and what his place is in the world around him”
(G.I. Gurdjieff).
These three icons were chosen based on who I believed has
made the largest difference in many lives without being obvious. For example, it would have been easy to
choose the following three icons: Buddha, Albert Einstein, and Plato. Yet, these three icons lives or has lived
within our lifetime and their work is still revered. Rhonda Byrne led to the awareness of ALWAYS
thinking positively to attract positive things.
David Bohm speaks my language by theorizing how simple it is to
understand alternative universes. And,
George Gurdjieff sought to raise people’s awareness of the limitations of
consciousness and led people to enlightenment.
Rhonda Byrne means proof that history repeats
itself. She has guided me through
thought and shown me that the reason why there is only 1% of the population who
is wealthy is that they have a secret they do not want to share. I now know that secret and practice it every
minute of the day.
David Bohm has explained to me this; If there is a $10k
contest and 5 participants with the same mental manifesting metaphysical
attributes, who would win? David Bohm
says everyone. Not by each of the 5
participants winning $2k but by each of them winning $10k. How is that possible you ask? David Bohm says the universe would split 5
ways and each of them will win. This
makes complete sense to me as the universe is vast and limitless.
G.I. Gurdjieff
states, "Man lives his life in sleep, and in sleep he dies."
As a result of this condition, each person perceives things from a completely
subjective perspective. Gurdjieff stated that maleficent events such as wars
and so on could not possibly take place if people were more awake. He asserted
that people in their typical state function as unconscious automatons,
but that one can "wake up" and become a different sort of human being
altogether. Gurdjieff teaches a simplest
lesson, the universe does not understand the words NO, NOT, CAN’T, DON’T,
etc. For example, the war on drugs,
everyone is focusing their attention to fighting drugs which involves negative
thoughts, feelings, and actions.
Remember……for every action there is a reaction.
