ITT: I read the sekrit

[Iason Ouabache]

this book is like one big retarded infomercial, where all they do is repeat the same thing over and over and over and over and over and over again without anything backing up the info. 

In all seriousness, there's a bit of truth to it (and by a bit I mean like .09%, and the rest is crap lolll), because thinking positively about things can sometimes help improve people's moods, or inspire them to do things.  But me just thinking REALLY HARDDDDDDD about money without doing anything else isn't going to make me rich.   

Bullshit! The reason you haven't recieved money yet is because yous ain't wish hard enough. It's all your fault, not the systems!!!

I shat myself when SPS IM'd me the opening paragraph of the book.  Lincoln, Plato and Napoleon all used Teh Secret?  Hot shit, I better get me some of that stuff too!

Apparently it's not even original but based on a book called "The Law of Attraction in the Thought World" by William Walker Atkinson who under many many pen names actually wrote a ton of other really stupid ass books and eventually pissed off a couple of Rosicrucians.

When you're done with The Secret you can read TLoAitTW here:

so maybe you should look for an another cliff in the meantime.

Are Rosicrucians fierce when roused? Did they kill him in some kinda quasi-masonic, bricks-in-pockets affair?

The thing that extra pisses me off about that book is that it ruins the actual power of planning for success for so many people.

I should start copy/pasting some of the text into this thread.  Then we can all have a parachute-less base jumping contest.

Sjaantze's Dad got us "Laws of Attraction" last year for Christmas. It was horrible bad, not kinda bad... just terrible, terrible, terrible bad.

No but they pissed and moaned a whole lot!

We live in a universe in which there are laws, just as there is
a law of gravity. If you fail off a building it doesn't matter if
you're a good person or a had person, you're going to hit the
ground.

  lol spelling.  brb gonna fail off a cliff.

[Cain]

But what if I focus really hard on not hitting the ground?

Well, that's how you levitate, right? You just fall and miss the ground.

[Brotep]

I'm only on page 24, and already I want to hurl myself off the nearest cliff. 

I'm impressed you made it that far in the book.  I can't even bring myself to touch it.

[Mesozoic Mister Nigel]

I think you're supposed to not focus on it.

[Mesozoic Mister Nigel]

But what if I focus really hard on not hitting the ground?

Oh. I decided to stop hating you. Do what you will with that.

[Dysnomia]

You'll hit the ground more often then.  Because the universe doesn't see "not" or "don't" it only sees that statement as "i want to hit the ground, and more often".
