Dear sweet ophra,

iN THE LAST CENTURY IN AMERCIA IT WAS CALLED THE NEW THOUGHT MOVEMENT A SO CALLED RELIGIOUS MOVEMENT. NOW ITS THE SECRET.A (CULT)
iTS AN EVIL BOOK, CONNECTS ONE ONLY WITH THE DEVIL.

tHE TRAINERS ARE THE ONLY ONES THAT GET RICH, THROUGH BRAINWASHING.

i WISH THAT YOU ALL WILL SOMEDAY BE PUT BEHIND BARS AS IT IS A TERRIBLE CRIME.

i HOPE THAT “God”will forgive you all for your terrible sins

before its too late.

Its better to be poor and believe in Jesus , than be rich and be dead.

P.S my family are ill because of the secret.

God bless sleep well. and forgive me for sending this e-mail.

I’m sorry, but to me this is just fiddlesticks and very unfair at that. It makes people totally responsible for everything that happens to them. This is not only not true, because we simply can’t influence everything that happens to us, it’s also cruel. Go and tell this ‘secret’ to parents of a child with an incurable disease if you dare. I find the whole theory both stupid and offensive.

Hi Joanna, to answer one of your questions ‘what is the universe?’ The universe, in this context, is the energy force which surrounds every living thing on the planet and since all energy is intertwined with each other it means everything is connected.

To attract more positive energy, you change your thoughts towards positivity, your change your feelings toward positivity, you change the core of you towards positivity. It doesn’t happen overnight, so a person who has been negative for years can’t suddenly change toward being positive. You’ve got to truly believe what you are thinking, feel it in every aspect of you, your thoughts, your life, your actions and feel it in your heart.

you can’t just think, I would like a million dollrs to manifest itself. what happens is that you will have the initial thought of attracting a million dollars, then you start to believe it’s possible to attract a million dollars, then you will start to see synchronistic events happen that help you to take action toward making your first million. You will never get anywhere with a thought, you have to take action on the thought.

This is where the film ‘The Secret’ fell down, it didn’t explain to people that you have to take action on your positive thoughts and when you do, more and more, seemingly coincidental, events will start to happen to you which will help you reach your goal.

I honestly believe in the power of positive thinking but only if it is backed up with positive action. In other words stop sitting cross legged thinking positive thoughts, get off your arse and take action, and in the process of taking action practice positive thinking. You don’t need to sit and meditate positivity you can take action and meditate positivity.

Hope that helps.

The concept of our emotions steering the universe is so ludicrous!
What happens whem I’m positive, forgiving etc, to steer the universe in a positive way towards me, and my neighbour is being very negative? Will the universe go neutral then?
In the secret it says that it is a universal law that positives attract. But this is complete nonsense! Positives and negatives attract.
And what is this ‘universe’? The stars, nebuli, planets, background radiation and black holes? Do they really arrange for me to have 10 million dollars just because I was thinking of them so positively?
How can anyone possibly believe such a thing?

I find the whole concept of the secret extremely odd. A universal law that works only when you believe in it?? Universal laws always work, whether you believe in them or not. The law of gravitation works, for everyone, even for people who don’t even know that it exists.

You can’t have things just by thinking of them hard enough in a positive way. It would be nice, but it’s just not true.
This way of thinking blames people for everything that happens to them. What do you tell a person with incurable cancer? That they weren’t positive enough. That is adding insult to injury.
I find that stupid and cruel.

The Secret is only the first step. Even if you are put in touch with the right people, there is no guarantee of success and even less if you are not prepared to take advantage of the opportunity.
I did an experiment the other day. I was in the kitchen and I said to myself ‘I am looking for a small red ball’. All of a sudden, I could see lots of candidates that might match like red pieces of leggo and other items that might match. By deciding to seek out those things, I did.

It seems to me ‘The Secret’ is what people would prefer life to be like – that you dont have to work to achieve what you want. Tell that to the thousands of people who want to be President!
