The Secret 1

The Law of Attraction is a metaphysical New Thought belief that "like attracts like”, that positive and negative thinking bring about positive and negative physical results, respectively. According to the Law of Attraction, the phrase "I need more money" allows the subject to continue to "need more money". If the subject wants to change this they would focus their thoughts on the goal (having more money) rather than the problem (needing more money). This might take the form of phrases such as "I will make more money" or "I will find a job that pays very well".
This movie has really open my eyes to a new meaning of existing in positive views the movie pretty much says that if you think positive, positive things will happen hence the law of attraction now i completely understand this quotes meaning "If the doors of perception were cleansed everything would appear to man as it is, infinite." ~William Blake
enjoy!

How do you know that her outlook on life was positive? Just because she was practicing a technique doesn't mean that she mastered a technique.

all I'm trying to say is that, imo, the law of attraction and all related views that attempt to draw a correlation between a positive outlook and occurrence in the universe, more then just the ability to stay positive and roll with the punches better, strike me as total bull-ish.
and what's to master? wishing and believing that the star you hit was the one Jimminy Cricket was warbling about?

Meh... sounds like the No True Scotsman fallacy to me; are you saying that anyone who practices the technique and reaps negative consequences just hasn't mastered it? 
Seems more plausible that even with positive thinking bad shit can happen to good people.

I'm saying that people who are practicing a technique are still bound to reap negative consequences. There is no such thing as mastering a technique IMO.

Oh it's more then true. Anything I really want happens. Right now I really want the stocks ZLUS to hit .0025+ and MMTE to hit .0035+ and they will. The law of attraction is so powerful that I almost feel this world isn't real, that it is completely virtual such as depicted in the movie, "The Matrix."
That is how real the law of attraction is for me. I believe anything you truly believe in is real. Such as Japans little nuclear incident is going to make me a little bit more concerned about higher cancer rates; makes pretty logical sense the increase in cancer is directly linked to radioactivity. It at least might play a factor.
I've tested the law of attraction to the limits. Every woman I've wanted has come into my life precisely what I asked for.
Crazy woman, she was crazy Smart woman, she was pretty smart Mexican older woman, she was mexican and older all right.
Right now I want to make tons of money in the stock market, which specifically is linked to the two stocks I linked above. I'm not sure about physical things, like you can't make your dick bigger, or can you? It seems to get bigger if you have sex often anyway.
I see the law of attraction as a direct relationship to something I call the virtual highway. This entire world is connected, all living things. This is on a sub-atomic particle level. What happens is any thought you have is transmitted electronically through this world and beyond; instantly. The world I live in either confirms this, or it confirms that this is a completely virtual world which is not real at all (which could also be true). Fact is I also believe in parallel realities. This would seem logical given my ability to read the future, or is it I'm creating the future. I'm never truly understand this concept. I attempt too, like it is God and he has multiple existences of the Earth to attempt to create one World that actually works. Or maybe I just can see the past and the future.

No. Just because I have a positive outlook, doesn't mean I can just go outside and start shooting people without any consequences. It's common sense. She knew what she was getting into and didn't care.

Of course there's such a thing as mastery... one can certainly reach a level of extreme competence in particular area with enough practice (I think I remember reading an article that showed 10,000 hours of practice no matter what the subject was is sufficient). Note that this doesn't mean that one is absolutely perfect at all times, but nobody's said mastery entails infallibility.

i met this girl. very sweethearted kept preaching about this "Secret" movie that changed her life and proceeded to tell me how many others she basically "converted"
we were from totally different worlds. she lived next door to my Dope-Dealer here i was buying bundles and strung out whenever i seen her she would try to bring me in her house to watch it i think she knew i was hurting and on a downward spiral she finally got me in to watch it sadly only becus i snorted 3 bags nextdoor and needed a couch
i saw the first 10 mins and nodded out that was enough for me ive seen the same sentiment gift-wrapped with a million other labels in a million other packages but Hey whatever works for you never saw her after that never went back to that spot

It's amazing and unbelievable, no doubt. But it is not even remotely related to mind-over-matter or "law of attraction" or anything.

You guys. (Pretty much just referring to the OP) The "Secret" and all other "New Age" material is nothing but Oprah promoted bullshit, PLEASE see through it.
The "New Age" movement is also nothing new at all. The material presented within this movement is completely ripped off from ANCIENT fucking teachings of ANCIENT Eastern thought and philosophy. They took ancient teachings with much truth to them, and manipulated them to make them Oprah-friendly. I hate to break it to you, but the majority of people in the New Age thing (not the people who have just seen the Secret, but I'm talking about the people who are HEAVILY involved) are people who literally worship Oprah.
I went to a "new age" church once in Orlando, it was called the "Church of Spirituality". I was looking for a place where I could finally meet people to connect with spiritually and that could really fuel my spirituality, I was very empty, I was searching. I wasn't completely aware about the bullshit factor in the "New Age" movement yet, all I knew was that the philosophies they wrote about on their website were VERY close to my own, and I had some hope in that. But I also had an "iffy" feeling about it from the beginning, because I knew "The Power of Now" (another staple book of the new age thing) completely ripped off Be Here Now, which was only presenting info from ancient teachings as well. But I decided to give it a chance, went there with an open mind. All I found was a room full of people spitting out a bunch of bullshit "thoughts" and "ideas" that they clearly did not understand on a personal level, and it was clear to me they were RECITING this bullshit mindlessly, word for word from the books they had read and worshipped. (sound familiar?? ) I was able to talk with them about these philosophies, but only out of my PERSONAL EXPERIENCE as I have never read these books they have read. Everything they were saying I have learned from direct experience with psychedelics, and you know, life. These people had no idea about psychedelics, were completely clueless about the ORIGIN of the "new" ideas they were worshipping, which again is ancient, and were basically a fanatical cult of brainwashed people who worshipped Oprah. They wouldn't stop asking me what books I have read and what authors I know, and telling me what books I need to read. I kept trying to tell them that I have already been shown what is in these books without ever reading them. They couldn't for the life of them grasp this concept. The "New Age" movement is sadly just like any fucking religion today, using a somewhat positive/constructive but ultimately heavily ripped-off message to get as much money out of people as they possibly can by brainwashing people into what they believe (which they have successfully achieved) and ultimately full of bullshit. And in this case, using Oprah to make this all happen.
Sorry for the long post, but this subject really gets me heated. I just can't stand this whole thing.

unfortunately progressive spiritual ways of thinking and understanding the universe have been watered down and brand-labeled as "new age" so as to make it more palatable for western mass-consumer markets, just like everything else in this fucking society
see past the bullshit. think for yourself

Free.Your.Mind said: The Law of Attraction is a metaphysical New Thought belief that "like attracts like”, that positive and negative thinking bring about positive and negative physical results, respectively. According to the Law of Attraction, the phrase "I need more money" allows the subject to continue to "need more money". If the subject wants to change this they would focus their thoughts on the goal (having more money) rather than the problem (needing more money). This might take the form of phrases such as "I will make more money" or "I will find a job that pays very well".
This movie has really open my eyes to a new meaning of existing in positive views the movie pretty much says that if you think positive, positive things will happen hence the law of attraction now i completely understand this quotes meaning "If the doors of perception were cleansed everything would appear to man as it is, infinite." ~William Blake
enjoy!
The fact of the matter is that Positive thinking does help. That is a fact. But wanting something long enough and willing it into existence is false. These people ironicly made money off of weak minded individuals, promising them that all there dreams will come true and they wont even have to try!!! Lol. I watched part of the secret with my friend and I decied to stop when they tried to say that people can get rid of diseases and disabilities if they willed it so.
Wow. What a slap in the face.

thangs will remain the same until U change something
U must take action in order to see results, otherwise nothing will change
this is how reality works. u must go through process in order to make thangs happen
whether that be getting your ass out of a seat and walking across the room, or sailing the seven seas
but it is within YOUR GRASP to choose whether you want to traverse your path in a positive-integrative fashion, or a negative-segregative fashion
common sense will tell you which will be easier and more fun

And to think of all the poor Jews who manifested the Holocaust through their negative thoughts. If only they just focused positivity, 6 million more of them would be alive today.

i don't think there is such a thing as "new age" now. we used to have mckenna and wilson. now we have pinchbeck, rushkoff and "documentaries" that drip with dishonesty like "what the bleep?" and "zeitgeist". i never watched "the secret" and i never will because i know it's a bunch of b/s.

perhaps they really weren't jobs you would have been happy with 
this is how to use this.. in an integrative fashion
you can either mope about not getting the jobs you sought out for, or see it as an opportunity to use your imagination to find something else that would be more beneficial to you and your growth & expansion as a human being

My understanding is, all the books this was ogifinally based off of(Master Key System from like 1912, great book, and think and grow rich from like 1920), It's basically seeing half empfly/half full.
Sure you can mope about your dumb jobs you didnt get, or you can choose to see the other end of it. IT doesnt change reality, it changes how you react and respond to situation. But think about it, who would you like to hand out with, "Oh yeah man, didnt get these jobs I wanted..... couldve used the money, but it;s whatever..... my parents are getting divorced, I guess its just impossible to be happy..... muh muh muh..... pity pity....... bluh so sad, someone talk to me on face book"
or, "Yeah I did well at those interviews, but It didnt end up working out. I figure something better is coming, so I dont mind it much. Yeah my parents are getting divorced, it's all good. They just realized they're happier apart, so it's good they're getting on in their lives."
Nothing about the reality of the situation for these hypothetical people have changed, but I would fucking slap the fuck out of the first one if he acted like that every day. It makes you more pleasant to BE and to BE AROUND. Did you see the video's of those people in Japan who lost EVERYTHING and they're cool and calm and polite to people in the shelters and telling stories?
Now imagine if you were in there with them, you'd be inspired. How shitty would you feel seeing a someone crying like s drooling, mumbling, snotty baby? not to say there's anything wrong with that person, but which one would you honestly rather be around?
Half full, halh empty.
This is the same attitude that changes "OMG i had such a bad trip, nothing is right in my life, I'me worthless" to "Well, I certainly have a lot to think about and improve in my life..."
