The Secret

Posted by , 21 May 2007, 04:36 PM

One of the books I am currently reading is The Secret. I actually missed most of what was said about it on several of Oprah's Shows. I bought it when my sister in law mentioned it, and I bought her a copy for her birthday and one for me.
So what can I say about the secret? The basis is that we attract what we are thinking or feeling and when bad things happen it's because we focus on it.
Well that sounds nice for adults but I was an innocent kid when things went wrong. I didn't think of anything when I couldn't breathe, except, how will I get the next breath of air.
The book bases alot on positive thinking and that when you are thinking positive good things happen. And that when you focus on what you don't want that is when it happens, all the bad stuff comes flying at you like a big magnet.
Personally all I know is my father will show up every time I am set to leave my house and do things. And when nothing is happening, can't find him.

It's been a year since I read this book. The magic has not worked for me. My thoughts on this are if your psychic and you know something is going to happen, are you drawing that result to you or getting a warning you can stop? Yeah the other day I looked at my son's cell phone. Into my head like one of those messages running across the TV screen, was "he's going to loose that phone". I let it pass. yesterday, I got the call"Mom there was a message on the PA that someone lost a phone and they had it at the ticket window, but my train took off. Will you run down to the station?" I did, life was rebalanced, the clip on the case had a malfunction and it dropped. He was reunited with his baby when he got home. But did the phone drop because I willed it as the Secret implies? Same thing with my main air conditioning unit. I was just thinking of it and how things were good and next morning it died. This book really goes out on a limb with it's ideas. As soon as I read it, I had issues. I walk a balance between very awful things happening, and then again I am exterordinally blessed. What about little kids? Did I cause my own asthma affliction at 5 years old? My mother did her share with smoking, before and after I was born.
So I really think it's a nice book with a nice theory, but they didn't throw in the psychic factor. By the way, my kids have my gifts and that alone is amazing to explore.

Just wanted to say that have read the book 3 times now, and also owns the dvd. Yes it has made a difference in my life but not the way they I had expected. Has it made me rich? Heck no. Has it made me famous - no way.
But it has enable me to find abit of peace inside me of which haven't had for some time now.
I guess this book is a love/hate book to each individual.
For myself? Am glad have bought it.
