Answer 2

I don't know if "The Secret" works, I'm not too familiar with it (saw it on Oprah), but I do know that the Bible speaks about "writing the vision and making it plain" (Habakkuk 2 or 3) and speaking things that are not "as though they were" (I've forgotten the scripture), so it's not a new concept.  Doing these things has been working for me.

Answer 3

Yes!!  it worked for me.  

Honestly though, even though I had read the book and saw the movie, I was unaware that I was attracting this thing that I had been obsessing over!

But it turned out in a good way.  Since then I have been using it, and it has proved itself to be true more that a few times.  It's fun too. :)

Answer 6

Answer 7

Yes, it works. But you can't just say, "I want 500 billion dollars." It has to be realistic, so you can have more faith.

Answer 8

The power of positive thinking and intention has long been known to be effective.  I have read the book, and I must admit it has not worked in any large way for me that I have seen.  But I am a practitioner of pagan beliefs, and I have seen my money spell pretty much work month after month.  I might not get rich, but we pretty much stay on top of our expenses.  I tried to use the ideas of The Secret several times to get jobs, but it never happened.  I also know that due to sight issues when I was young, I cannot visualize very well, which is stressed as the way to make things happen for you.  So, do I believe it can work?  Yes.  Has it worked for me, personally?  Not really.

Answer 9

I've not read the book or seen the movie "The Secret" myself, but it isn't really a secret.  This "law of attraction" concept has been around for quite some time (even back to the time of Jesus who said that we reap what we sow).  I learned similar techniques through studying the law of attraction, and quantum physics theories as presented in the documentary film "What the Bleep Do We Know".

When you truly train your brain to think positive (not just cover up negative thinking with a little smear of positive thinking that you really deep down don't believe), then you alter the way you perceive yourself, your life, and the world around you - and you put in the effort required to get what you want out of life.  This is how it works.

What've you got to lose from trying?  You can only make things better for yourself with such tools.
