The Secret question

You put it really well. The first time I read the book I took it too literally and deemed it a load of **** but then some months later I decided I would really study it this time. It was quite life changing to be honest. It really does help to think positively. It motivates you. It gives you strength and hope and something to strive for. People who think they will get a cheque just by sitting around and visualising it are never going to get anywhere. The whole point of it is to make you think positively which will change your decisions and behaviour and therefore lead to you making more money, making friends and having a better relationship with people you already know, etc.

I still have yet to master this. A work in progress for sure.

I think it works but only if you do the process for the right reason. It has to make some sense in your head as to why you want it and also consistency which i always fail at. Its not enough to think on it for 2-3 days, it requires longer.

I agree with all the people who say that this book worked to 'some extent'. Well the truth is no book is ever going to solve anyone's life problems.

The book weirdly enough changed my life, I started to see the world differently...

Although I love money like the next, that aspect wasn't what I gained from reading that. What I gained was in order for me to receive good in my life, whether good people or things, I have to have that intent. We attract that in which we think about. I have read this book many times. Just when I lose focus because of life's wear and tear, I reread it. I blame the changing of my mindset on this book.

I found this book to be quite powerful. Changing your way of thinking is the first step. Once your way of thinking changes, you will change your surroundings or either your surroundings will change themselves. With a positive mindset and positive people around you the channel for positive energy is wide open.

BTW my book, " Women's Best-Kept Relationship Secrets" is coming out Feb 14 2015. Keep your eye out for it. If you are a woman that just cant seem to get love right I help you get that in your life. So its almost like the book The Secret. The difference is I give you different tools and steps to take to change up the pattern in your life in regards to love. So many women cut their standards way to low in terms of love, and I help shake ya up a bit. It's uncensored and raw. You cant go in reading my book hoping for me to paint the fairy tale magic, I want you to see it for what it is and change it :) Hope you all enjoy and I know it will help so many women out there who need guidance in love :)

I know it works, it worked for me. But if you go in thinking its a bunch of hogwash, well that is your story and what will be. You cant just say I want a check and then it appears, you have to feel it with passion and really want it. Its not that simple. But yes it works. I have had mannnny things I have manifested and used the loa to get. But miserable people cant write a check by their desk and go ok I hope this works when their whole being is unhappy and not even believing it anyway.. positive thinking is a way of life and its all about the story you tell yourself. Shoot your whole life is about the story you tell yourself.

i m practicing it daily, one thing i can say for sure is "it works". But its sumthing that doesn't comes instantly u have to make it ur lifestyle. u need to change urself totally.
although i had not yet succeeded in attaracting huge cheques but it has
increased my income to some extent.

I agree with the first part but not the last part about your thoughts affecting water.


More believeable: I think words affect your thoughts, your thoughs affect your actions and your actions affect the outcome.

It is a good idea to have positive thinking towards things, but there is no real proof for the law of attraction as mentioned in this book. Not enough evidences support such claimed law.

I tried the experiment by printing out the check, filling it out and leaving where i could see it everyday. It worked for me. I plan to try it again, just in case it was happen stance...

I actually paired an affirmation, "Large sums of money come to me quickly and easily" with EFT/Tapping and manifested about $70,000 within 18 months. Sure, I had to work for some of it, but it was unexpected jobs. The rest was a windfall...literally!

Oh, and EFT also breaks the cycle of "negativity" and fear. Learn it. Use it. Transform your life like I did and do with my clients.

it is possible to attract but you need to use the opportunity , if you just keep sitting even the big fat check you attracted will just leave.
there is a time limit to every thing .
the law of attraction had been used in the past (occult, magick , etc) . so it's not something new ,

Ok, to be fair, I just watched something on Netflix based on this book. It seems that it goes back to what a lot of people call "the power of positive thinking." I'll admit that it does have some merit, however, it isn't a magic "name it and claim it" fix. I still need to read the book, but based on the show I saw, I can see how thinking more positive and refusing to accept negative thoughts could be good for your emotional well being. It's just one of those things that needs to be tempered with what's realistic - and, of course, the power of hard work and seeing and taking advantage of opportunities, no matter how small they might seem.

I'm currently unemployed sitting at my desk. Why get a job when I could have the ability to visualize the big checks rolling in! I personally thought parts of this book was a bunch of nonsense.

I find it amusing that a lot of people who read this book and liked it suddenly believe they are life coaches, quantum physicists, or at least experts in how positive thinking works. Let me have a shot at it, then.

The Secret is a wonderful book and movie because it introduces you to certain psychological and quantum concepts. It is positive thinking 101. But, make no mistake, it is entry level stuff and mostly marketing genius.

I wish I could have had a few quotes in the book or made an appearance in the movie because I'd be making millions like these guys. I wonder if Drs. Wayne Dyer and Deepak Chopra are kicking themselves right now for not being featured? Maybe not... they're pretty established guys.

I really don't mean for that to sound negative, because it's not meant to be--but it is a valid aspect of this book/movie. How many of you that read/watched THE SECRET went out looking for the books, blogs and websites of the featured participants? Thousands. It's great that you continued your search for understanding beyond THE SECRET. I hope you considered other researchers and philosophers as well, including ones that weren't selling workshops or counseling sessions.

Do I think this stuff works? Absolutely. And I am a logical and empirical type of person. I work for NASA. A lot of folks around here found THE SECRET interesting.

For the record, The Law of Attraction (LOA) is more than just "positive thinking"--it's about positive BEING. You have to think, speak and act positively. You have to be in the moment and actively seek the lesson or opportunity in every challenging moment. If you are moaning about being unemployed, alone, or some other misfortune--you aren't doing that.

In addition, because this is technically "energy work," there will be periods where past negativity will reverberate back to you. The climb to reflexive positivity will be challenging to people who are perpetually negative because not only do you have to change a life-long habit that may be reinforced by the current group of people around you, you must also deal with the return of the negativity you have been feeding into your environment. This is why it is called a cycle. You send negativity out, negativity returns, you use that to justify further negativity. You must break the cycle. This takes commitment and work. You have to make the choice not to respond to negativity (which is largely generated by fear) with more of the same. Keep this up, do not feed the cycle, and you WILL see change in your life for reasons both mundane and quantum. ;-)
