Has anyone seen The Secret?

It's a documentary about the Law of Attraction. For anyone who doesn't know what that law is, here is the definition:

http://en.wikipedia.org/w...Attraction

Basically, you get what you think about, whether it's positive or negative. Your thoughts can manifest in reality.

Do you believe?

I haven't seen it.
I believe in it in the sense that you mostly get out of the world what you put into it. If you believe you can do something, you probably can. It's mostly about drive and ambition and a little bit of luck. I think thinking positively about things helps you see the right opportunities as they arrive. But there are always things beyond our control. How you react to that is what's important.
I do not believe it's some kind of cosmic force, that, for example, you visualize yourself getting the closest parking space somewhere and it materilaizes out of nowhere. lol If there happens to be a close parking space, it's merely coincidence.

Oohh, Carrie, watch it if you can. It made me feel great, but it made my hubby feel horrible.

I'm gonna try some of the techniques just to see if it works in the slightest bit. smile

no i haven't seen this doc.
Yes this has been posted many times here in G.D.
Yes I think I belive it to happen, because I think many details of my life are things that I wished for as a child , teenager/young adult are the life I lead today.

oops! I rented it on Netflix a while ago, and it's been sitting on my dresser for over a month. I've just been so focused with OnDemand, there's a billion things to watch.

I've been having a really rough couple of weeks, and I decided to pop it in. Made me instantly feel better. It was weird, I tell ya!

I'll keep it in mind... coworkers have been passing the book around. It seems a little, well, not me, but I do find it interesting. Glad you had such a good reaction to it. Sometimes a little push is all we need. smile

I saw it, it was silly.

I think there is some truth to the law of attraction,but the movie just took it too far.
In spite of the cost of living, it's still popular.

I bought the book and was so sorry I wasted my money. It's mainly another gimmick and all the book does is quote people who quaote the bible, just read the bible! confused

My mate has been raving about this forever and convinced me to watch the dvd a few months ago. After 30 minutes of bad acting - that was ENOUGH. lol I couldn't take it anymore. It's all common sense, really.

I saw the movie a few times. I believe it works. The thing is: we people are impatient. We want instant results. It doesn't work that way. I believe every single thought is creative in the universe. If you repeat thoughts very often it will manifest in your reality. Sooner or later. Only spiritual Masters create instantly. For students there is time to deal with.

If you grew up in a tixc situation and your family had poor beliefs about wealth and life (like mine) it makes sense to try to think in a different way.

Yes...all this is in the bible. Shoot for the stars and have unshakeable confidence in yourself and the world is yours.

Basically, go for yours, beleive, and give back...that's what its about - that's life should be n that's it.

I have a vision board in my kitchen though
