ITT: I read the sekrit

[Dysnomia]

Everything that surrounds you right now in your life,
including the things you're complaining about, you've
attracted. Now I know at first blush that's going to
be something that you hate to hear. You're going to
immediately say, "I didn't attract the car accident. I didn't
attract this particular client who gives me a hard time. I
didn't particularly attract the debt." And I'm here to be a little bit in your face and to say, yes you did attract it.
This is one of the hardest concepts to get, but once you've
accepted it, it's life transforming.

you heard that right ladies, it's your fault the drunk driver hit you and killed you.  you attracted it.

Since I learned The Secret and started applying it to my life,
my life has truly become magical. I think the kind of life that
everybody dreams of is one I live on a day-to-day basis. I live
in a four-and-a-half-million-dollar mansion. I have a wife to
die for. I get to vacation in all the fabulous spots of the world.
I've climbed mountains. I've explored. I've been on safaris.
And all of this happened, and continues to happen, because
of knowing how to apply The Secret.

FACT:  this guy does not actually exist.

"Attracted the debt"?



Yeah, I have a credit card balance.  I ATTRACTED this debt by SPENDING MONEY.   

Fortunately, I ATTRACTED this debt in a reasonable fashion.

If he does, he should kill himself.  He lists his wife among his possessions.

Ugh.

I was waiting for this 

How it will happen, how the Universe will bring it to you, is not
your concern or job. Allow the Universe to do it for you. When
you are trying to work out how it will happen, you are emitting a
frequency that contains a lack of faith—that you don't believe you
have it already. You think you have to do it and you do not believe
the Universe will do it for you. The how is not your part in the
Creative Process.

DON'T ASK QUESTIONS!



JUST BELIEVE!



let's seee.....where have we all heard that before?

Thing about these Secret folks is they take everything right with positive thinking and changing your own life and twist the two together and make it horribly horribly wrong. Took it too far, like a joke you tell to some friends that you're rather proud of, and then that one guy just kills it. Kills it dead and rapes the corpse.

It has been the position of The Church for 30 years that there is precisely nothing good about "the power of positive thinking".  In fact, it is anathema.

This crap wouldn't sell so well if people weren't lazy bastards drowning in denial.

Lizzie, I've very happy to see that you've copied and pasted those quotes from the book.

If you payed money for it, I'd feel very very sad.

When i first saw this book I dubbed it "Chicken Soup for the New-Age Soul". Which turned out to be not so funny when I saw that Jack Canfield, the created and editor of the chicken soup series turned out to be a large contributer.

These concepts, they can be found through a wide range of new age books. Someone was just clever enough to put in a nice, easily swallowed, user-friendly form. Worst thing since ugh, can't remember the name of that movie...
Had to do with Quantums...What The Bleep Do We Know. God how I hate that fucking movie.

Check it out some time. For the
