Do you believe in "The Secret"? Were you able to apply it and see results?

Question

First of all, I would prefer to receive answers from open minded people. No mocking is necessary. I am talking seriously, as I have come to believe that there is more truth in this "law of attraction" thing than I initially thought. If there are any of you who have managed to implement this unique manner of positive thinking into your lives, I would love to hear your stories and receive some tips.

Answer 1

I think the Law of Attraction is valid, I just do not agree with using it for wants and desires to be fufilled. The object is to free ourselves from want and desire for those are the things that keep the circle of birth and death in motion.

Answer 2

I've been using humility to help me maintain a positive mindset and it really has helped. Ego and pride have long been speed-bumps that have kept me from maintaining a positive outlook and humility has really helped me to keep things in perspective. I still don't believe I'm overweight simple because I 'think fat thoughts', I beleive the laws of physics and the physical world still apply, but projecting postive expectations does work. I came to the conclusion, years ago, that the Divine conforms to our expectations. Thus there is no One True Faith that makes all others False and Paths to Damnation. The Divine wants to be a part of our lives no matter how we choose to perceive It.

Answer 3

Well I have always tried to live by these set of rules. The Secret wasnt a new theory. Although the writer is getting full credit for this mysterious new theory. Its not new and its not that mysterious. You can see my point if you buy some books on "creative visualisation" Same principles. I have tried to live more by the Secret. I try to be more positive. Its a good thing for us all to do.

Answer 4

No.
