i believe:
our minds are much, much much more powerful than we believe
there is more - far more - out there than what we know at the moment .....
I believe in the power of visualization and that the mind - (if you can even pinpoint what that is - its not just in the brain) functions outside the 5 senses in addition to them.
All that said, I was put off by the hokeyness, the inaccurate statements, and some of the presenters - i'll use ray as an example - were just quoting quotes of quotes and really didn't know what they were talking about.
I think the secret brings a great message but its also got flaws, like most of us. the inaccurate statements opened it up for ridicule especially when the presenters claimed that 'science proves' a postive thought is a hundred times more power than a negative thought - or they call themselves 'dr' and their 'doctrate' is from a diploma mill (Vitale).
Canfield was the only credible person on there, maybe wolfe as well....but even he has disclaimed some of it.
when anything spirtual crosses the line over into science they immediately demand scrutny.
if a priest says - you're sick pray to God to heal - all fine and good
If he says, science proves prayer heals -if he's going to invoke scientific authority than he is subject to review.
that is the line that I make between science and spirituality the secret crosses it.
