I have not seen
The Secret movie, but enjoyed this interview.
I'm quite skeptical, however, when James Ray says things like,
Quote:

"The explanation comes in the form of a science called Quantum Physics."

... and then rattles off a few well-known facts (yes, everything is energy, matter in motion, including your brain and everything going on in there), but then he doesn't connect the dots.
Why and how are these claims about resonance supported by Quantum Physics? Do any real, credible, working-in-the-field Quantum Physicists agree with these claims? (Names and links, please.)
Ray goes on to say:
Quote:

"When your thoughts and emotions are aligned with the energy of something that you desire, you're already attracting it into your physical world."

Someone please explain how this works. Are there
repeatable, scientific tests which prove such a link?
How can your thoughts and emotions possibly be in resonance with something that doesn't (yet) exist (a thing or situation you desire), let alone "attract it into your physical world?" Is there some other world it's going to come from? What or where is that, exactly?
Sorry to rain on the parade, but this really sounds like a huge departure from what little I know of QP (admittedly not much), and from the actual findings of actual scientists.
If it were provably true, then I'd happily believe it. I'm open to the idea, but I'm not one to believe big claims without even bigger proof.
It
seems more likely that believing in
The Secret results in a psychological trick, a subjective change in perspective if you will, whereby people can better overcome the various baggage that keeps them from doing what needs to be done to get what they want. However, even if that is the case, and the belief helps some people sort out their lives, it still does not prove the claims of
The Secret to be true.
