"Overall, the Secret, aka, the Law of Atttraction has a great message: like attracts like. This is of course very true in most cases. However, implicit in the teachings of the Secret is the idea that our current place in life is not good enough, that we need to create something in the future that will in turn complete us (better job, more money, new relationship, etc), and make us feel whole.
Herein lies the fallacy of the book. For in the words of Thich Nhat Hanh, "Peace exists in the present moment, if you cant find it here, you wont find it anywhere."
There is nothing we can do that will "complete" us in the future. Why? Because we are already complete. So it's a fine and wonderful thing to have fun with the LOA, and create the life you want, just don't expect to be satisfied with whatever you create in the future if you are not satisfied Now."
"A friend asked me to read this book and tell her what I thought. I knew Oprah had endorsed it on her show, so of course it shot right up to number 1 best seller overnight. I was already familiar with the Law of Attraction, which in a nutshell is that Like attracts Like, so if you think negatively about your life, more than likely you will attract negative things (people, situations, energy, etc. ) to yourself; and the reverse it also true. Okay. I can buy that. I have even experienced situations where that could be the case, as I'm sure everyone has. What this book proposes is the dangerous idea that you and I attract 100% of the things that happen to us. Period.
Larry King interviewed one of the authors on his show and asked the burning question that Oprah wouldn't and that is "how does a child attract sexual abuse to him or herself?" Good question Larry. The author responded with something like "Let me just say this Larry. The truth is, everything that happens to us is of our own doing" Period. What, no follow-up question Larry? Why is it the Truth; because you say it is self-help author making millions off this book?
Books like these and how well they sell are indicative of the need people have for quick fix answers to the problems that have resulted from another law (that no one wants to write books about) called Cause and Effect. I spend more money than I have, I get into debt. Cause and effect. How do I get out of debt? Think myself out of it according to The Secret.
This book is unbelievable hogwash and its authors are laughing all the way to the bank."
"The Secret is perhaps best summarized in an entirely separate work, the Strangest Secret, which is an audio presentation by Earl Nightingale where he demands "you must control your thoughts." Rhonda Byrne then explains by controlling your thoughts and ensuring that they are of a positive nature, anything, in any aspect of life, is achievable. More specifically, The Secret explains that like things attract, so positive, can do thoughts create positive outcomes while negative thoughts would create that negative reality.
The secret is powerful and if one were to incorporate these ideas into everyday life it would indeed be an unstoppable force. The reality is obvious; if you're feeling happy you are thinking happy thoughts. What is exciting is to realize that one can use one's feelings to understand what one is thinking. Further, one can use ones more readily controllable thoughts to affect ones feelings.
The Secret teaches us to understand today, create tomorrow, but allow the universe to positively influence us as we project positive energy. My favorite line was likening life to a road trip, at night, from San Fran to New York City. You know where you're going, but you can only see 200 ft in front of you. Life must be taken as it comes though we can provide it direction. You must stay on track, but deal, positively, with the bumps that come along the way. We must be thankful for all that is presented to us because it defines us.
The book goes on to apply the concept of positivity to health, relationships, abundance, thankfulness, and ultimately life. Indeed the point is to be happy now, feel good now.
Notes: On Thoughts and Creation: " Nothing can come into your experience unless you summon it thought persistent thoughts. o What are you summoning? " Careful, the thoughts of doubt are powerful too. " Imagination is everything. It is the preview of life's coming attractions " Use Vision boards as ways to visualize your goals " Your power is in your thoughts, "Remember to Remember," live in the present On Feelings and their power: " Our feelings let us know what we're thinking " Our feelings are feedback mechanisms to us about whether we're on track or not, whether we're on course or off course " Bad feelings are a warning from the universe " You're getting exactly what you're feeling about, not so much what you're thinking about " Make a list of Secret Shifters, things to employ when you're not feeling good or the way you want to How to live the secret: " What do you want; take time to write that down, you must be clear about what you want. 1. Ask, once, than listen 2. Believe you'll get it, know that - Most of us have never allowed ourselves to want what we truly want because we can't see how it's going to manifest 3. Receive On moving towards a secret centric lifestyle: Most profound reality about living life, knowing where you're going, but unable to see exactly how it turns out: Driving a car at night, life is SFO to NYC, but you can only really see 200 ft ahead, be ok with that. "Take the first step in faith. You don't have to see the whole staircase, just take the first step" - Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. "All that we are is a result of what we have thought" - Buddha "Pruning shears of revision" -Neville Goddard, 1954-"Each night replay the events of the day; if they didn't go the way you wanted replay them in a way that thrills you." --- This cleans up the frequency On Thankfulness and gratitude " Know gratitude, be grateful " Praise and bless the things around you On Relationships: For relationships to really work we need to focus on what we appreciate about the other person, not what we're complaining about On Health: Laughter attracts joy, rejects negativity and leads to miraculous cures On Positivity: o "I will never attend an anti-war rally. If you have a peace rally, invite me" - Mother Terresa o Use I AM. I am received every good thing, I am happy, I am abundant, I am healthy, I am love, I am always on time, I am eternal youth, I am filled with energy every single day. On life: Joy, love, freedom, happiness, laughter. That's what it is. Be Happy now, fell good now."
"Ick. This book was just. So. Not believable. At the beginning, the author writes about the law of attraction, specifically that if you believe in something, it can happen - like, if you believe you will one day fall in love, marry, and have a family or if you believe you will succeed in education and earn your PhD, than, doggonit, you can.
It's as the book continues and the words change from "can" to "will definitely" that the author lost me. For example, if you want a certain amount of money, say $100,000 for a down payment on a home, and if you think about it totally positively, and mentally stamp out any negative thoughts, like, "Who am I kidding? I'll never have that money," then you WILL DEFINITELY get that money. And in a timely fashion. With no strings attached. Like magic.
The author lost me mid-book and I never finished. I want my money back. Oprah, I love ya, but this was a BAD recommendation. Even the biggest optimist has to get REAL at some point. (Easy for one of the richest, most powerful women in the world to fall for!) Come on, I say - COME the HECK ON!"
