I enjoyed this post, and share your perspective on The Secret/LOA - and that it's dangerous for the masses to just think that "wishful thinking" will get them everything they want. Beyond coincidence and correlation - I worry that the LOA/Secret may become an excuse for living in denial. I read a book recently that helped put some of the LOA stuff in perspective, called The Secret Source. Basically it helps to give historical and HOLISTIC context to the principles and historical influences alluded to in The Secret. I wanted to know if you'd heard of it - or would be willing to check it out and share it with the rest of your readers who might also be searching for more background information about abundance/prosperity consciousness, LOA and the New Thought Movement. It's definitely enlightening. Here's a link: http://processmediainc.com/titles/new_releases/the_secret_source.php Thanks so much for taking time to read this, and I always look forward to your posts in my RSS feed reader!

No where does Rhonda Byrne say "go sit in a corner, close your eyes and everything will be alright." Your mind has to be changed to understand her thinking. The majority of people that are against her don't understand the Bible either. If you really listen to her over 90% she is talking about is having a strong faith in what you want out of life and if you believe in the universe, which is GOD, you will be bless with it.

Taking anything literally is dangerous. I took this book as a pointer, telling readers that wishing and visualizing for something (in professional language- having a goal and action plan) is first step. Actions and effors are the important steps. Even Rhonda Byrne wished best selling but she had to work hard to publish the book and make it best seller. All it is keep positive attitude and then work with your heart. Thanks for sharing. I read this book some time ago and also enjoyed it. Taking anything literally is dangerous.

The secret is a brilliant movie. But most people who finish this movie will think "To success, all I need to do is think hard everyday!" This have no difference with day dreaming and waiting success to drop from the sky. "the Secret" is about visualize it and allow yourself to experience the moment when you have it and take action. You can achieve what you want with Law of Attraction and Action on top. There's also another Universal law which is the Law Of Action. No action no results! I think you and I who own a business probably know that too. If we don't write, there will not be any blg post coming out. I also found this free report which is also called by others as "the missing part in the secret". http://secretsofunlimitedwealth.com/interview.htm Thanks for your post. Great things you brought up.

Of course, no author will highlight people who try this and have negative consequences, but no matter what the power of positive thinking will only go so far. Sure you can be motivated to do all kinds of things, but saying that there's a law of attraction just doesn't work for all sorts of practical examples. If I want a sunny day for a picnic and a nearby farmer wants rain for his crops - who wins? Nobody really wants a disease like cancer, but people are diagnosed with it all the time and positive thinking just won't make it go away in a lot of cases. I'm saddened that so many people have bought into this "secret" nonsense. Sure there's nothing wrong with having a positive outlook on life, but there's no special power behind that to enable you to win the lottery or anything like that. Thank you for at least trying to awaken people to the fact that sometimes coincidence is a good explanation for something rather than it actually being a result of some secret desire/wish.
