For example, The Secret claims that every problem in your life, or any negative thing that has ever happened to you, was somehow manifested into your life by your own thoughts. In other words, everything bad that has ever happened to you or will ever happen to you, (regardless of other peoples actions) is all your own fault.
You should keep in mind that "you" does mean something different in the intention/manifestation mindset.

It doesn't necessary mean that the person that is in hospital and has cancer has it because of his thought.
He has the cancer because of my thoughts, because I am the only consciousness.

I don't know, but I'm sure truth exists. Otherwise everything is one big delusion, which I cannot accept.
That is the point, Intention/Manifestation says that no objective truth exists. That truth is subjective.

The point that you can't accept that is fine.
But, it is just one of your beliefs. Other people don't have that belief and that leads them to belief in Intention/Manifestation.

But the thing that your signature suggets is something different, it is: "Question Everything!"

The reason is that you use the argument because it is emotional charged. In our society every one is taught that you have to feel bad about the holocaust, that makes the discussion emotional instead of factual which is bad.

Talking about this in terms of “bad news” or “bad judgment by business leaders” seems archaic. It’s like describing World War One as “a serious diplomatic concern.”
