Delphos, Oh.My name is Brandon, I consider myself to be more of a universal type person. I'll be 35 years old Dec. 15th. I spend most of my time helping people. Even if it's destructive to me and my energy. I love everyone the same. I think I'm a huge empath. Sometimes it can be quite hindering, though I manage. My goal in life is to be a motivation and inspiration through creative writing.
Ever since I was a young child I’ve been very spiritual. I’ve had an uncanny ability to feel the feelings of others. I remember when I was only 7 or 8 years old my mother was laying my older brother Eddie and me down for bed one evening when this feeling came over me. It is something I still cannot describe. I’ve tried, and the most I can say is that it felt uneasy multiplied by a thousand. Honestly, now that I’m an adult, it isn’t any less chilling to think about. I said to my mom, “Mom I can’t go to sleep because I’ll die if I do.” She tried to comfort me while trying to tuck me in. As I was explaining to her the feelings of sadness and urgency that were coursing through me at a rapid pace, she grabbed me and took me to the living room. Although she wasn’t exactly sure as to what really was going on, she did her best to calm me and sort of coddle me to sleep. It worked! I did finally start to relax. Soon drifted off into a deep sleep.
When I woke up, I heard my mother and my uncle discussing something that had happened to my uncle Mike. My uncle Mike, along with my other uncles, was very close to me, mostly due to me losing my father at age 4. I later found out that my Uncle Mike had been beaten terribly and left for dead in an alley in Lima. Three guys jumped him and a weapon was used. He went to the I.C.U. and was fighting for his life. Thank the lord my uncle is still alive. But we wondered, why was my experience happening around the same time my uncle had been terribly beaten the night before? That and plenty of other situations in my life led me to have a deep sensational way of connecting with the Universe.
I don’t know how I started to believe in the law of attraction. I’ve had this odd sense of connection with all of life. A deep feeling of love for everyone and every living thing. I believe we are all one. I believe that one thing cannot exist without its polar opposite.
When I first got the book, The Secret, I was so amazed by the end of the first two pages that I had to close the book. I had to give myself a sort of pep talk. I knew somehow that what was in this book was the answer. Clearly, I had to go at this with the intent of learning as much as I could. Also, I knew that the law of reality was about to be handed to me like, the key to the Universe. I knew I had to approach this book differently than I’ve approached anything in my life. I say that because my choices this far had put me where I was when I first met The Secret. Locked up in a rehabilitation facility for drug use.
With my mind right, and the time right. I reopened the book.
As I read it, I soon started to realize that these things were already virtues in my life. I was so grateful that at that moment I closed my eyes. I had a moment with my creator. I thanked the Universe and I asked, “Will you please allow me to take this in? Help me to retain what is really needed to communicate with you properly.” As short as that book is, I didn’t finish it for a month. I read every day. As I read, I practiced doing things it suggested. I never once thought for a second that this wasn’t going to work.
In the days to follow, I was so clueless that I walked around and repeated in my head words like, “Positivity, believe, love, grateful”. Very soon after I began reading The Secret I started noticing tiny giants. Things that normally I would not pay attention to were beginning to mean more to me. I noticed that food starting to taste better. The structure-based function of the community-based correctional facility that I was in didn’t seem to have total control over my life anymore. I started to understand that the Universe heard my silent cries night after night as I was in the street using drugs. The Universe heard me. The Universe heard thoughts that held my strongest focus. It was the law of attraction that took me to rehab.
A month after reading The Secret, in one of the classes I was taking I got invited to a seminar almost two hours away from the facility. The seminar was called, “Collaboration Over Competition.” It was held in Columbus, Ohio. As I was being invited, I thought to myself, “This guy is clearly aware of me being incarcerated. Why would he invite me to this?” Right about that time he said he had already spoken to the director and my judge. They both concur and you’re granted permission to be furloughed. Also, your ride and clothes will be taken care of. Not only did I get to leave a locked-down facility, I got to breathe fresh air, enjoy different scenery, and eat something besides the same thing day in and day out. I got to attend a motivational and beneficial conference in the presence of successful entrepreneurs who were millionaires. All of them were ready and willing to give me advice, information, and most importantly, their time.
I believe in my heart that the instruction I received from The Secret was the miracle I needed, the assurance that compelled me to continue becoming aware of how abundant life is meant to be. I understand now that I can’t control all of my thoughts. All I can do is to choose to sift through and pick which ones I focus most on and believe. It is true. The Secret for me, told me lots of things I already know as a human. It taught me even more. Most importantly it taught me that “like attracts like” is real. If I feel bad I’m going to be bad. If I feel lazy I’m going to be lazy. If I can’t wait to succeed, I’m going to have to because my frequency isn’t aligned with my expectations.
I’m enjoying my limitless power. I’m currently preparing to attend college to achieve a bachelor of creative writing. Every day I move with my heart so I know I can’t go wrong. Oxygen is real enough to keep us alive. The law of attraction is real enough to keep my reality heading in the right direction.
Thank you to all who’s story’s went into making The Secret. I am grateful. I recommend it to everyone. Especially anyone who has asked, “Why is this happening to me.” Thank you, thank you, thank you.
