Of course babies think - and they'll tell you they can too, at 120 decibels when they think they're hungry, wet or tired. I don't believe they think about much more than the stuff that makes them physically uncomfortable though. Their thoughts grow and change with what they learn, the longer they've been around, just like the rest of us.
'The Secret' has loads of value, but it makes me cringe when one of it's 'teachers' responds to a question with an answer that's quite clearly ridiculous to anyone who gave it any thought for more than two seconds strung together, or an answer that they have no means of backing up. I'd have the greatest respect for the teacher who actually admitted 'I don't know', perhaps going on to say that given the evidence we do have so far and the obvious power and potential of the LOA, then it's going to be well worth finding out. Even 'I don't know - I'll attract the answer!' would sit with me better.
I think that we're on the right path with the LOA and will see amazing leaps with what we produce as a result of the power that's inside of us and always has been, but if we take what the presenters of The Secret say as gospel, then we're just giving our personal power away to somebody else.
