As soon as I heard universal energy and how people can effect that energy... the first word that popped into my head was "psuedoscience". It's more than likely similar to that energy crap that apperently "cured Michael Flatley" from not wanting to dance a year or more ago. Just search "Michael Flatley Plexus Bio Energy" and you'll find the shit I'm talking about.

I definitly have to search that in a minute. I heard nothing about this cure through energy.

It is psudeo science.. the claims in the video is false pretty much if your poor it is your own fault if you went trough a car crash it's your own fault for atracting it.. also the so called PHD's are just bogus .. there is no such science that is called metaphyisis... Have you watch Coughlans pwnage against the film?

All love from me Jasmine

I saw Coughlan's vid and he did a good video regarding Bob Procktor.

Even though I don't put much stock in their "science" I did think it was worth mentioning as a side note that trying to be more positive in general couldn't harm anyone.

We are? My thing tells me i'm 17th with 33 views today. weird.

Yeah maintaining a positive outlook is pretty much to key to what they're on about. Their "scientific" reasoning to their theory is a bit.. silly.

The (+) is it reaches a lot of people who can experience that a positive attitude shows you possibilities that otherwise you would ignore or miss.

The MAJOR (-) I have with it is that it gives a complete bogus explanation, which closes their minds to ratio.

And (-) it blames diseases people have on their attitude. Which is plain low and mean.

Do check The Chasers view on The Secret, it's brilliant: watch?v=usbNJMUZSwo

Can't stop watching that!

(the 'pedophile' sued! :-) )

I haven't actually seen it but I have heard about it. Something about good things will come to you due to the Law of Attraction. But as far as I know, the Law of Attraction is not actually a Law.

[Doochahh]

Just to add my opinion in to the mix, i find this kind of thing complete bullshit. If it works for people its themselves changing because they expect this 'Secret' to work. Like you said pretty much, lol. This can only be good, but people would do this anyway, even without the money making scam that is 'The Secret'.

[Eopyk]

Yeah but aint no secret:P

[AnarchisticAttitude]

im sorry to say this because it adds nothing to the conversation but i fuckin love your accent man

[1rishShaman]

It's a complete new-age scam. I don't usually call out things like it without researching them, but even just as soon as I heard the name for the first time I knew something was up. If things go well this year I should be doing one of my fitness projects on pissing all over their methods. It's nothing more than a placebo effect.

[TheAtheistKnight]

I tried to watch this with a VERY open mind but yeah I can't see how wishful thinking on it's own will get you everything you want.

How have you been btw man?

The Secret sounds a bit nutty to me :)
