The Secret
I got The Secret [1, 2] from Netflix today. Not to worry, friends, I knew it was crap. I just wanted to see it for myself. I’m watching it right now — as I write this!
According to The Secret, what you think about is what becomes reality. It’s the Law of Attraction.
So, how come the head of Bob Proctor, Philosopher, hasn’t yet exploded?
I understand about the time delay. I’ve been really thinking about it and wanting it for a while though, so I think the very least I should be seeing by now is at least a partial explosion. Maybe an eye.
But nothing.
Disturbingly enough, there are aspects of The Secret that are a lot like Scientology. They even have something very much like the tone scale.
I think The Secret must be working for the creators of this book and movie, at least. I imagine it went something like this: they imagined a long line of thousands of pathetic shmucks anxious to hand over their hard-earned money for a bunch of saccharine platitudes and wishful thinking. And hey! Presto! There they are — lining up to buy into this idiotic (and, frankly, offensive) bullshit.
Yeah, just want it bad enough and it’ll be yours. Those people in Darfur — they’re just such negative thinkers. That’s their problem.

Just think about all those times you woke up from a bad dream. No. Not the nightmares with witches and skeltons…the scarier ones where a loved one is dead or something very tragic just happened to you and it SEEMED very real. Your heart races…your mood is bad..maybe even depressed.All of this AFTER you are awake and know it is not true. The body reacts to what it thinks…not only what it knows. So there must be some truth to the power of thiniking. No it cant seduce or influence others, but imagine if you could harness the power of dreaming…controll it…the same dream every night of being wealthy…living in the big house…the nice car….no problems…no worries. Every night time after time. What would that do to you? Influence you…kick you along so that you did not have to wake up to reality anymore. Now imagine the other way around…time after time the same horrible nightmare. they are different for all of us. Our child dying, our spouse leaving and despising us, george Bush getting elected for 12 more years…..every night…time and time again would get to your attitude…your demeanor….you day. It WOULD affect you. maybe we all need to “Think” as we want to “Be”. Daydream i guess. well…me and Tyra Banks need to go to bed now…Bye
