the secret

i watched this movie last night and i wanted to share it. it really validated some things i thought i already knew. i could only find the first 20 minutes but you'll still get the idea. i hope you guys enjoy it as much as i did!

The Secret: 1st 20 minutes

You're certainly correct that it does fall into "self" help, but I find this book to be ALL about the self, and what I would call greed. It does misquote The Bible extensively too. While focusing on the self is good for a bit, and working on self too, I don't believe it's good to the almost exclusion of everything else.

Quantum physics has shown that, the basis of faith, does work: believe it will be and it becomes. However, this book's particular type of "secret" demands that the universe revolves around yourself. Hey, what about the rest of the world's population? That it puts caring about humanity about 6th down the list doesn't appeal to me.

Take what good you can get from this, some positive thinking perhaps, and flavor it with the reality that bad things still happen to good people and you don't cause it.

Thank you so much for sharing that! I love the Secret and Law of Attraction!

I've been studying it for years with teachers, and I absolutely believe in it 100%

It's a simple concept but easier said than done. It takes practice to have faith and not be fearful. It is learning to allow.

It is nothing like selfishness. Quite the contrary. It's about Allowing abundance into your life on every level. You can feel abundance for others and watch their lives grow also. The only time someone is greedy is when they feel a lack of abundance. When you feel a lack of abundance you tense up and don't allow.

The Universe listens to everything we say. If you say " I don't have enough" the Universe responds back with "Okay, you don't have enough" When you say "I am abundant and grateful" the Universe says "Okay, you are abundant and grateful" Your life is a reflection. It's the science of faith and Universal Mind.

I think The Secret sometimes focuses on the financial a bit and a lot of people get the wrong idea. But check out the people like Louise Hay's website, and Mike Dooley with Tut The Adventures Club. I love them. Also, Ester Hicks, and Michael Losier.

I think that was great that you thought so much to put up a video. I didn't know you could do that!!
