Do you know "The Secret?"

Has anyone heard of this? The theory of attraction? Where our thoughts and feelings create our future?

I actually sat through 24 mins of this.

no I posted my thoughts on another forum.

Yes being positive and thinking positively can help in life, but the concept I find is based purley on greed.

downloaded the full vid yr ago, when it was released, it was kinda entertaining, something to listen too while i was working, although im still skeptic about their whole theory, imho maybe its used to boost up peoples' self confidence?

very interesting....

you think happy thoughts, happy things will happen to you, it can be somewhat true..but sometimes, it seems like in the real world that you have to make it happen.

LOL such a lame twist on goal orientation/ aspirations, Its nothing new or a secret. Only maybe to those who cant drive them selfs to get through life.
All fine and dandy that it would help some people, but people these days will say any thing to make a buck.

You can have everything you want, do whatever you want to do, you just have to want it and you'll get it. Life is that simple...but in a parallel universe, not this one. The secret is why anyone with a functioning brain would watch and believe this stuff.....unless they are waiting to fly up to the tail of the comet & leave spaceship earth?

this is just a confidence thing.

it's always been known. if you project that you're confident, you will be more confident.

duh.

there are people that live their lives being "happy" everyday. but that aint gonna stop them from getting fired when the company needs to be downsized or wahtever.

the difference between a "happy happy" person and a normal person and a negative person is... in that same senario, a negative person would i duno, be negative and he's probably alwyas negative

a normal person would be pissed and still be negative, cuz well something shitty just happened.

a happy person would simply forget about it and .. kind of like a dog. it may have just lost it's meal, but it just found a new toy and focuses all its attention on that.

its just living a fools dream. sure they're happy. but... being happy isnt enough for some people. they need stuff.

the video is bullshit when it comes to things like "wishing you had something and thinking about it constantly and it comes true"

ive wanted a lotta things that i think about everyday. ive never gotten them. the things i have gotten, have come through my own power. i worked for the money, and i used that money to buy it.

the money came from just plain old hard work.

similar to quantum physics
has anyone see what the bleep do we know?

one small segment shows how our thoughts affect the properties of water, and since our body is made up of 90% fluids, then think what thoughts can do to you

watch it if you havnt, it really opens up your perspective

They use pseudo-science to justify some belief in this "Ramtha" spirit which is supposed to be 40,000 years old who possessed some chick in Washington state.


No joke.

LOL it's cuz you want it too much. It's like the same thing where if you don't look for love it'll find you? hahhaa. You're trying too hard to get laid

Change it up and be like "i WILL get laid, YOU WILL jump on me and have sex with me, even if I am 20 years younger than you and go to school with your son"
