    Default The Secret

    Has anyone read this book or seen the movie? I saw the movie, and my mom just sent me the book.

    If you haven't heard of it, it basically talks about how you can attract anything you want (or don't want) through thinking about it. And it tells you how to basically get anything you want by asking the universe for it.

    It might work, it might not...I haven't actually tried it. I'm just curious how many people have seen it and might agree/disagree with what it says.

    is their website.

    Not completely - what they say is that your patterns in thinking actually affect the things that happen to you in your life. For instance, this one guy wanted to make a million dollars in one year, so he wrote himself a check for a million dollars and at the end of the year, he made it. He just kept visualizing the money and what he was going to do with it and the 'universe' or whatever gave it to him. Other people have claimed to do similar things as well (health, relationships, etc). One woman "cured" her cancer because she kept telling herself that she was healthy. I'd really like to know if it's real or not.

    It's kind of similar to that "What the Bleep" movie.

    Yea, I actually posted about a while ago. Got hammered by a few on here that did not understand the "meaning" behind the message.

    Makes perfect sense to me---we are made of energy, and the universe is made of energy. Positive energy begets more positive energy, as does negative. Think positive, draw positive things, and the same with negative. The universe doesn't judge--just gives more to you what you already believe.

    I guess I have another thing to put on my shopping list!

    As a related side note: Jim Carrey, while he was still a stand up comic doing amature nights and completely broke, wrote a check to himself for a mil. he's now films best paid comic.

    I'm sorry I didn't see your thread. I did a search for it too because I didn't want to be redundant.
    Maybe more people are "getting it" now?

    People wish for their whole lives to be rich, most likely every day dreaming about how to do it and what they would do with the riches. It doesn't work. Dreaming about something doesn't mean you'll get it without action, and if you get it with action, there was no secret.

    Sounds like something one of my massage school instructors talked about. How basically negative energy will attract negativity and positive energy attracts positive things. Worked for her, and has worked for me. But I haven't read the book, didn't know there was one. I'll have to get it, thanks

    Goodness, no apologies. It is a strong message with a core meaning much deeper than the top surface. Actually, it's a mockery on the affluent in so many ways.

    It's no bloody secret! Think and Grow Rich by Napoleon Hill (sp?) has been widely available for .. um.. seems like forever... lol... I also feel my training in witchcraft and spellcraft also gave me a background for already knowing about all of this...

    If you can be specific and tell the Universe what you want and trust in it to provide (never doubt it as then you sabotage yourself) ... it will... however the Universe still needs you to actively re-inforce the desire almost daily as well as do little things each and every day in order to realise that dream.

    They were on Larry King Live he did a segment on this.. it was very interesting indeed.

    I haven't read the book but I believe in the philosophy, most definitely!

    Seraya.

    Well, the "secret" is that you visualize what you want and then do the footwork to get it. Dreaming about having something with no action behind it will only end in the ability to keep dreaming about it. But, dreaming about something, believing it will happen, and then doing the footwork...that's the "secret" to success. Its also important to be grateful for everything in your life. LOA...its the be all, end all to everything.

    It seems that a lot of people just don't "get it".

    Yup. There's the secret right there, action. But I suppose you're right, some people need the act of doing something wrapped in a pretty book for 20 dollars.

    ^ Well, sometimes it takes a reminder like "The Secret" to get them motivated.
