So we should repress all bad thoughts and force ourselves to be happy? I'm all for optimism but you've got to be realistic with these things.
Also, why do I never see any citations to sources or scientific studies accepted by the mainstream? Anecdotal evidence is easily countered: I myself am a very successful cynic.
And please don't mark this as spam. Silencing any doubts you have without thought kinda sorta contradicts the whole open-mindedness thing...
@saminthehat i only block people who fit the description of a troll - foulmouthed idiots with misguided anger issues.
I haven't watched this clip in years, so I can't speak 4 them, but i don't think the idea is 2 repress bad thoughts - or monitor our thinking - for if u do that, u end up spending all of your time controlling & policing your thoughts & not actually living.
good for you 2b successful as a cynic - i'd prefer 2b a happy success myself, lol. on other hand, skepticism is healthy.
@saminthehat repress and force? I don't think that's the word, it's let go and release. Example, successful people focus on the solution, not the problem. It's what you focus on multiplies which is a definite truth that you hear everywhere. The habit of positive thinking will sink into your subconcious and you will automatically be a solution oriented individual.
Also, the media is there to blunty say things, it's not there to provide a documentary on how things work, you're supposed to do that.
@saminthehat Yo if you want the scientific backing of this, read 'the power of your subconscious mind', which is saying everything these two claim to be true but rather than say the law of attraction blah blah, the author says the subconscious mind, it's very scientific. Also type in on google 'best self help sites' and click on the first link, that's over 80% scientific information on the brain and how the mind works to bring our experiences into being by attracted them first.
The idea is right: positive thinking is an essential ingredient to life (Mayo clinic 40 year study: optimism adds 2 years to life). But the science they talk about is wrong. There's no such thing as vibrations. But neuroscience does show that our thoughts affect the motivational centers in the frontal lobes, as well as every other part of the brain.
If anyone has any doubt about the law of attraction, im not wrong, nor am i lying, these are the facts, it is backed up by repeated science, i have used it specifically so many times i can't count it, it not only works, it works good when you know how to use it and it works effectively.
The law of attraction is a LAW, be aware of it so you are on the right end of it benefiting from it rather then being your own victim, remember you create your own reality, only you are responsible for your life!
Don't forget that if this information came to us on this stage of evolution is for the hightest good, not for using it as the dark powerful people did in the past.
Law of attraction, talks about attraction, not about to be a millionier as it seems most of the people understand it, which is more of the same old way.
"I am so happy that money flows to me abundantly". I love the movie The Secret and the teachers John Assarf & Bob Proctor on the Ellen DeGeneres. Written goals Dream Boards.
Someone wrote this criticizing the movie "the secret" and i think that whoever wrote this, is not right._"I would realize I was thinking negative thoughts, which would trigger more thoughts about how awful I was for thinking negative thoughts and how I was ruining my life with those thoughts, and so on and so on, until my head was ready to explode with all the bad juju. The only thing that freed me from that loop was something else I also learned that summer at the ashram, meditation."
God help anyone who can believe this rubbish. When we belch or break wind we set up a vibration. Do we not have to be careful to set up the right vibrations in this way if we are trying to attract success?
@robert2957 This rubbish you described i have used more times then i can count so directly bringing about real change and real success, it wasn't chance it worked over and over and over again, im not wrong and im not lying, this is the truth, but thats ok, you don't have to know the truth, if you are happy being in the dark about it, thats great, just as long as you have everything you want and your happy, i really wouldn't disagree with that, but none the less this is fact, its science.
@robert2957 yes thought vibrations don't exist, even when there are devices which measure brainwaves of our thoughts just like they would with radiowaves. Don't go claiming something doesn't exist just because you can't measure it with your 5 senses. Radio waves, magnetic forces, radiation cannot be seen,heard,tasted,smelt or felt but they exist. No offence or anything but you sound like one of those old people that only believes in something that's put right in-front of them.
None of this is a secret. The Bible says as a man thinketh in his heart so is he. Be not hearers of the word but doers also. Cast your bread upon the waters and after many days it will return unto you. This is all sound Biblical doctrine. Laws set in motion by the Creator when the foundation of the world was laid. These laws just like the physical laws I.e., gravity, work for everyone saved and unsaved alike.
@imrnlil You hit the nail right on the head, image what man was like before the fall from grace, how much different would our thoughts be? do you think the negative thoughts would be there? .. nope, how would the law of attraction function in that case? the answer is in out benefit ONLY.. interesting isn't it?
Do you think its good that God makes laws that protect us from the negative effects of the law of attraction by acting and thinking incorrectly? its all very interesting i know i walked it
jidawil you are right. ," ask and it is given""resist ye not evil, turn the other cheek" if you had faith the size of a mustard seed you could say to that mountain move and it would move" pray as if you already have what you are praying for. all in the bible
Everything they are talking about is found in scripture, the law of sowing and reaping, walking by faith, calling those things that are not as though they are by faith, even Jesus prayed the desired results not the problem! Right on love it!
Positive brings Positive! I think these people are so Right on! The Law of Attraction Law of Time and the Law of Action! One thing that keeps people from the 3rd one is Fear! The law of Action is what most of 95% of people have a problem with! Use the Nike Slogan! Just Do It
exactly! the taking action part is ignored or overlooked. It's like a kid not wanting to do his homework. Why would anyone want to be a blob and have it fall in their ever expanding laps?
We've got bodies and minds that are meant to be used! Do It!
hey peeps. . . .no one is forced to watch this or any video. . . . keep the comments constructive and uplifting - don't waste everyone's time venting personal opinions just for the sake of being contrary
Oh, come on! Everyone is completely free to thing free. Religion is the question of personal view and desigion. By the way, they don't reject the idea of God.
If you were to go to his website (I think it is actually of OncCoach) there is a video I recall watching that has him explaining his theories of affirmations. In this video, he specifically talks about giving 10% to his church. He also mentions it briefly in his new 2008 book "The Answer" i believe.
most people overlook the power and importance of tithing - whether to a church or whatever suits the person tithing. I think it's a show of faith in abundance and of giving thanks for what you have been given.
srry but proctor is wrong about the attracting thing..no suck thing...u don't attract u CREATE!!....the money isn't in the universe and waiting for u to think bout it and then it comes zoomin at millioz of miles per hr. lol...
im currently 22 years old and in college.. i read the book about 8 months ago.. at first i didn't "really belive" in the secret.. then about 6 months ago.. without ever mentioning the book, the secret movie (dvd) showed up at my doorstep. Just truly ask, believe and receive.. my life has just been on a role lately, good grades and already started working at my dream job and not even out of college yet!
The law of attraction will only work for people who believe and I don't see a reason not to believe. This is so real and many people can tell their story (including me). If anyone is doubtful, please put that pride and fear away and try it. Just focus (really focus) on something good that you want to happen, believe its coming, and enjoy.
"Each one of us has about a hundred trillion cells that act as little magnets, and those little magnets emit a frequency that attract to that frequency whatever it resonates with." Is there scientific evidence to prove this and other things they are saying?
'gangstaboofan1' no wonder why your disagreeing with science and energy, because thats all 'gangsta's' do... they try and bring others down because they have nothing to live for, just living their normal, ignorant lives.
dude it's 2008, there are boys, who were girls, who are now robots who became the above speakers and now live on plant ZOD
with past movie stars, and retired cartoon charters. They call themselves the ZETTIE and they will look you up, and make you spagettie, fart you out like gas confettie...

Bob, so how did you attract a fraud like David Schirmer to your terms of reference? Schirmer is the only Australian featured on The Secret & is under investigation by the ACA?
He said if your thinking of getting out of debt, you will attract debt.
When I got married, the wedding was expensive & we were in debt. I made a goal of getting out of debt & today I have zero debt & I have extra money in the bank.
My wife and I then made a goal to get her parents out of debt & were in the prossess of making it happen. There has been a huge improvement since.
what bob proctor is really saying is that by focusing on "getting out of debt" you are in actuality thinking about all of the things associated with debt-therefore putting your focus/mindset on debt, which then transcends into actions that produce the results of debt! so, when proctor says that, he in turn means that one needs to focus on abudance b/c by doing so you will focus on and therefore act in ways that lead to abundance. you have to look outside the box to get it.
But I was thinking about debt the whole time. I felt horrible & decided to to somthing about it. I acted from this place of feeling horrible & started taking action, & now im out.
So we should repress all bad thoughts and force ourselves to be happy? I'm all for optimism but you've got to be realistic with these things.
Also, why do I never see any citations to sources or scientific studies accepted by the mainstream? Anecdotal evidence is easily countered: I myself am a very successful cynic.

you get up to go to work because otherwise you 'll get fired, or you go to work because you like it.
