I found this thread on another forum and thought I should share it with others. It is about the movie "The Secret" (thesecret.tv), which is about developing and maintaining the right attitude for success in life. Basically, it says that due to the Law of Attraction, anything you think will become reality.

Here is the thread, which is a 12-page discussion. Be sure to read it for additional resources.

Hopefully this can help change someone's life like it has changed many others.

The Secret is a inspiring show. The Law of Attraction is so powerful if you believe it and practice it correctly.

Thanks for sharing!!! My Mentor was speaking of the secret a few days ago and I had been meaning to look for it-I really believe in that stuff

I've heard this one before from a friend but I totally forgot to check it out.

Thanks for posting it here. I'll find time to watch it.

I've owned joe vitales books for years, he's a brilliant marketer... but I would hardly call the guy "enlightened"

I bought his "how to make $5,000 to $15,000 in a week, with a teleseminar"
Which was a good book...

His "Hypnotic Writing Secrets" was also a good one

Everything after that sucked, when he got tired of internet marketing, he decided "personal development" made more money!

So he used his marketing skills and created a product that promises the ULTIMATE benefit. Anything you want.


And guess what? he doesn't even have to give it to you! and people love it!

I'm not sure if joes the greatest salesman on earth, or the greatest con-man, but I will continue to steady his marketing techniques (and ignore his poorly written self help advice...)

PS... some of you might think I'm a jerk, or just don't undertsand "The Secret"

I own it and have watched it several times, let me explain why I think it's the biggest crock of crap since the matrix trilogy was made! (2 and 3 sucked!)

First off, the "Secret" is really a very old self help doctrine called Responsibility Assumption

"Responsibility assumption is a doctrine in the spirituality and personal growth fields holding that each individual has substantial or total responsibility for the events and circumstances that befall them in their life. While there is little that is notable about the notion that each person has at least some role in shaping their experience, the doctrine of responsibility assumption posits that the individual's mental contribution to his or her own experience is substantially greater than is normally thought. "I must have wanted this" is the type of catchphrase used by adherents of this doctrine when encountering situations, pleasant or unpleasant, to remind them that their own desires and choices led to the present outcome.


The Second Doctrine is a very old "religious" belief system called "pantheisim" which basically teaches that God is the universe....


Okay, so what's wrong with Responsibility Assumption?

First off, it states that If your wife died of some illness, she wanted too... is that not a crock of ****? or what?
Sorry dude... life just sucks... plain and simple

But that's harder to sell? isn't it


Okay... second off, pantheisim, God being the universe

First off, all pantheist believe that there is a "source" beyond the universe, that animates it, which is why many theologians have argued that while it may be possible for nature to be an "extension" of God, it cannot in and of itself be THE God...

Meaning? that for a panthesitic God to exist, there must be a Theistic God (A God outside of the universe) to animate the pantheistic God...

But you know? you don't even need a religous belief in order to have a positive mental attitude or become rich...

So, joe vitale, your secret isn't a secret at all... it's old school self help crap, mixed with eastern religion....

I recommend steven coveys "7 habbits of highly effective people"

I've got that book in my bag right now, it will be started soon.

I'm reading 'Rules for Revolutionaries' by Kawasaki, which is ok. Then I'll read something else to keep my mind fresh. THEN it's 7 Habits.

After that, some more filler, then How to Win Friends..... I'm looking forward to it.
