Does anybody else find The Secret disturbing?

Question

It really does seem that people living by The Secret have more fulfilling and prosperous lives, and the thought that something like The Secret might actually WORK troubles me a lot. Can somebody give me a scientific explanation for the sudden good luck that befalls those subscribing to The Secret?

Answer 1

It actually works for me too. I wrote down a list of what I wanted in a guy, and in the next month, I got the person I was pretty much asking for.

Answer 2

It's news to me that Secret followers are having any better fortunes than others. Was a statistical study done?  What's your source?

The only thing that is disturbing is that there are people gullible enough to lap up this Secret stuff. If there is anything to it, and I really doubt there is, it's the placebo effect. Secret followers may be more motivated and determined than other individuals, and it's their motivation and determination that might give then an edge for achieving success.

Answer 3

It's simply mind over matter. Think good and good will come to you. It's really not a secret either. Nothing to be scared of, it's not religious in nature...it's more about energy and the law of attraction. Many books have been written about it.

Answer 4

love the secret....

I would encourage you to understand quantum theories of time...

psychic/occult theory of mind development....

eastern philosophy.....and a deeper understanding of the western tradition (how the bible came about)....

egyptian mystery influences in biblical time....

lifestyle and philosophy of the essense (sp?)....the sect that jesus belonged to...

Answer 5

I have heard of it But know very little on the subject.

Answer 6

Hi Jenny---I wonder why it disturbs you?  I enjoyed the movie but I did not stop with that one movie----I explored other references about "The Law of Attraction."  The Secret focused to much on the almighty $$$ for me and I found other references more fulfilling. Try any books by Esther and Jerry Hicks.  Lousie Hays has an excellent video out, " You Can Heal Your Life." Go view the trailer of the Moses Code. These are excellent films that explain the law of attraction in a better light. It is life changing!! Good Luck!!!!

Answer 7

You're suffering under a false impression.The Secret leading to fulfillment and prosperity is a myth.A myth proving very lucrative for the author.She is only person who's fulfillment and prosperity are due to the book.

Answer 8

I'm very leery of things like this. Sometimes it's better to be poor and to suffer..than to get involved in things that mess up your head and your soul and your spirit. Not that I don't like or need money. I've been involved in things before..seems like everybody got rich but me...then the rich ones did terrible things to me. Don't need THAT again!!

Answer 9

Perhaps it is troubling that people would fall for it.

Answer 10

I've never heard of it. What is the secret of the Secret?

Answer 11

Well, the Secret is attraction. If you studt that in every aspect of life, you will see that it is true! Kind of freakish to me!
