Do you believe in The Secret?

Question

if you don't know what The Secret is- don't answer this question. I'm serious though- do you believe in the secret? I do. I was at a baseball game with my bff and i told her about it. the home team was losing 2 to 4. and we wanted them to win so both of us kept on thinking and saying aloud, "Our team is going to beat the Angels 5 to 4." believe it or not - out team won 5 to 4. it was amazing! considence? i think not.

Answer 1

this reminds me of my 8th grade science teacher...

Answer 2

Actually my mother recently purchased the movie and I believe the book. However I personally don't believe in the Secret except in the sense that positive thinking is beneficial for personal development, even if your dreams aren't completely realized. Years before the secret I followed positive thinking anyway because it's generally a good idea. I dislike the idea that somebody is making money off of peddling this advice, which should be passed along free. Positivism shouldn't become denying reality, which the secret seems to promote. However you can still hope for the best and realize that often good outcomes are a very clear reality and a result of effort. :)

it form of feels to me that the God a character believes in says lots extra with regard to the individual than it does approximately God. some women folk and adult males human beings look to sense in a cranky, vengeful, petulant God. Others have self assurance in a super make certain in the Sky God. some deny that there is any God in any appreciate. some say God is Love. No, i don't sense believing in a God calls for that or no longer it somewhat is a staggering God, even if a lot of human beings insist that all and sundry it somewhat is staggering is God, and that all and sundry it somewhat is evil is a devil or a devil. i've got self assurance if one specifies that the God is a author, then particular, it follows that the coolest deal ought to be the form of the author. i like dreaming's answer. i've got self assurance of "God" as "That that's." i'm least difficult a tiny drop in the extensive Ocean. i do no longer declare to appreciate one in each of those the coastline :-))

Answer 5

hahaha... it's not magic, you don't change what other people are doing by thinking about it. The secret is about having a vision and working toward it; it's no secret at all, really.

Thinking that sitting there and saying "we're going to win, we're going to win" is going to do anything for your team is superstitious nonsense; it's not what "the secret" is about.

Answer 6

You've got to be joking. You really don't think that hundreds of fans of the other team wasn't doing the same thing? I dare you to do it every game. They won't win them all. Hmm...

Rhonda Byrnes ought to be prosecuted for this trash. For one thing, she has plagiarized so many writers that it is amazing she is not being sued by a dozen other self-help book authors. For another thing, her theory is full of it. She even went so far to suggest that people in Rwanda could have avoided being murdered had they just thought more positively. Furthermore, based on her point of view, you can tell a child it is their fault if their mother died of cancer. "Sorry, honey, but I guess you weren't positive enough." It is sick. No one should buy this witch's book and support her filth.

Don't get me wrong. Positive thinking is a good thing. It makes you better able to deal with your problems, and it CAN make you more successful. Byrnes takes it too far, suggesting you can change the world around you. Her evidence is totally anecdotal, simply ignoring the mountain of evidence that proves it wrong. A simple analogy can bust her theory. Say ten people arrive at a parking lot, and there is one good spot left. Say all ten of them are POSITIVE with ALL THEIR HEARTS that they will get that spot. Will all ten of them get it? No. Of course not. BUT... the person who did can go around all day and say, "See? I was positive, and I got the spot. That proves it works."

Rhonda Byrnes is that person who happened, through positive thinking somewhat, but mostly through hard work and dumb luck, to get that good parking spot. Sure, it is easy for her to say it works. She got lucky and wrote a best-selling book. If you buy it, however, you're just supporting another con-artist who is using her success to take advantage of people going through difficult times. That's the last thing our society needs. I think people like this rank right up there with rapists and child molesters. Yuck.

Answer 7

The real secret is using positive energy in a totally unselfish way. That secret is given to very few because there are very few humans who are really truely altruistic.

Answer 8

I believe the Universe is covered in one unifying force

Answer 10

Yes but I don't believe it is a way to untold riches or other creature comforts...life is a little more serious than the score of a baseball game, believe it or not...

Answer 11

If you know about it and keep spreading it. Then it isn't a secret anymore. Now when to be silent young one.
