最近逛書店時，無意中讀到一本我覺得不錯的書。
中文書名「如果你對現況感到倦怠……」
原來的英文書名是 「The Magician’s Way: What It Really Takes to Find Your Treasure」
中文的書名和原來的書名真是差很多，由中文書名完全看不出來這本書的主題。這是一本有關成長課程的書，與一般講很多理論的書不同，本書透過故事的方式來呈現出自我成長的方式。
以下是根據我個人所學過的知識來看這本書，它包括了吸引力法則，還有站在吸引力法則的對立面的陰影。
吸引力法則，我們要把焦點放在目標，而非過程。
陰影 (shadow)，我們必須要接受自己的陰影，才能拿掉它的力量，使自己不為陰影所控制。
最後，我們無法解決問題。我們要做的是改變自身的結構 (structure，書中譯為架構)，使得結果不同。
嗯，對吸引力法則、陰影、情緒、結構，對於這些不熟悉的人，大概只覺得故事還不錯而已，但對它要說什麼，則可能毫無概念。回過頭來說，對於吸引力法則、陰影、情緒、結構，要花多少時間才能有所理解呢，大概是一輩子吧，而且是要透過一些挫折才學得會。
THE SEVEN SECRETS OF MAGIC
The First Secret: Your thoughts and feelings aren't real
Your thoughts and feelings are expressions of your underlying assumptions in any moment, not reflections of actual reality or what is truly possible.
The Second Secret: Your focus creates your reality
Your experience in life is determined by what you put your attention on. If you focus on end results you inevitably attract what you want. If you focus too much on what you have to do to get what you want, you end up attracting your fears, doubts and beliefs.
秘密二：你的心所專注的對象，創造你認知到的現實
你的生命經驗，取決於你把注意力放在什麼對象上。如果你把焦點放在最終結果上，就必定會把心想要的吸引過來。如果你太過專注於通往終點的步驟和過程，就會把疑慮、恐懼和成見吸引過來。
The Third Secret: Everyone has a heart
Having a heart means that you do have dreams, that there are things you love, things that are deeply important to you. An inherent part of the human journey is that at some point you end up putting more energy into protecting your heart than following it.
The Fourth Secret: There is never anything to do, but always action to take
'Action' is about taking direct steps, based on the obvious, towards creating what you want. 'Doing' is about fulfilling certain conditions you believe are necessary before you can get what you want.
The Fifth Secret: Structure has integrity
Something's structure dictates its behaviour, and its behaviour dictates its experience. In creative terms, what your attention is focussed on forms the underlying structure in your consciousness. The motivations behind what you do in life reveal your true focus.
The Sixth Secret: You get your energy from a higher source
As a human being, you have the tendency to develop fixed concepts about what is in your highest good and where it is supposed to come from. The key to magic is developing the ability to let go of your fixed concepts and open up to the true source of your energy.
The Seventh Secret: It takes will
Ultimately, your highest source of energy is your own heart. Yet, the paradox is that you are conditioned to protect your heart, a behaviour motivated by fear. Your fears are communicated to you by thoughts and feelings. There can be no sustainable change in your experience of life unless you have the will to choose going for your heart over resolving your thoughts and feelings.
