What do you think about The Secret?

Hogwash on stilts--and Oprah-support.

You'll feel inspired while reading it and for about two weeks after, then you'll be back to normal and will realize it doesn't have any effects except making the author rich. It is at worst highly deceitful nonsense designed to appeal to today's audience and at worst unrealistic in the extreme.

Good luck!

It's not really a secret. That information has been around for a long time. She simply brought it up again. This is the same idea held by James Allen (As a Man Thinketh), Napoleon Hill (Think and Grow Rich), and more recently than them, Shakti Gawain (Creative Visualization). I also found Neville Goddard's teachings to be very similar in nature. So no, this is not a new theory.

More interesting reading in a similar vein is the Celestine Prophecy and the subsequent books by James Redfield.

Actually. I would like to disagree with you Arthur. You see even in psychology..(I'm taking applying psychology at college) They say perception is one of the most important parts to study. My instructor said "Lets say you think your going to have a bad day. The outcome will look like your thoughts" If you go into to something not fully having faith in it or thinking bad thoughts, then so it will be. That is also what The Secret teaches, is it not?

I am just like you, saw the movie actually and am fully putting it to the test. I started this morning so it has been my first full day of sending out positive vibes. Will the universe hear me? I'm going to really give this a whirl. It certainly can't cause any more problems in my life than I may already have haha!
