What a SCAM! ( )
  mimji | Apr 20, 2024 |
This short book is based on the 'law' of natural attraction, or 'thoughts are things'. What you think you draw to yourself, so if you think negative thoughts or a thought with a negative in it (eg. I don't want to gain weight), you will draw those things to yourself and they will continue to happen to you (eg. you gain weight since you are thinking about gaining weight - the 'don't want to' part is ignored).
On the other hand, if you focus on a positive that you want, and you are very specific about it, preferably writing it down, you send out a 'thought frequency' and that very thing will be attracted to you and come to pass.
My take away - stay biblical in your thinking. The Bible does have support for this kind of thinking: Philippians 4:8 (King James Version (KJV)): Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things.
So yes, phrase your thoughts in a positive manner (exactly what you do want, not what you don't want) and focus on those thoughts. However, praise God for the good gifts he freely gives those who abide in Him rather than thinking the universe provides whatever you ask of it. ( )

“The Secret” is not really a book but a series of misquotations from historical figures and fraudulent maxims from no-count hucksters. And yet something in that gooey red waxy seal on the front of “The Secret,” and the book’s believe-in-magic glitter, takes me to a happy place.

Epigraph
As above, so below.
As within, so without.

The Emerald Tablet, circa 3000 BC
Dedication
Dedicated to You

May The Secret bring you love and
joy for your entire existence.

That is my intention for you,
and for the world.
First words
A year ago, my life had collapsed around me.
Quotations
The most common thought that people hold [about fat], and I held it too, is that food was responsible for my weight gain. That is a belief that does not serve you, and in my mind now it is complete balderdash! Food is not responsible for putting on weight. It is your thought that food is responsible for putting on weight that actually has food put on weight.
If you see people who are overweight, do not observe them, but immediately switch your mind to the picture of you in your perfect body and feel it.
