Vitale's comment really shocked me and I'll have to agree with you on this. That girl didn't attract that to her and it's crazy to think she did.

I like the people on The Secret, but I thought it was funny when the behavioral psychologist called up and challenged John Assarf on what he knew about the brain. I agree with both sides here, though I lean more to the side of the psychologists.

I like The Secret and I've learnt a lot from it, but I feel that it's going to become another Chicken Soup For The Soul type thing. They'll be 100 Secret movies within the next 10 years, lol. And people will just be buying things but not really improving. It's going to be the self-help cycle of buying and trying, buying and trying, etc. At first I thought this all would be another fad, but I've changed my mind. I forsee walking into people's houses and seeing all The Secret DVD's and books, but they'll still be living paycheck to paycheck and not manifesting what they want. I think maybe 2% of the people who buy all this stuff will really succeed.

Please know, I'm pro-The Secret, but I'm coming to the realization that very few people will have long term success with it. And I say this because, there's more layers to everything than "Ask, believe and recieve". And there's too much of a magical and commercial influence involved here. It's all in the marketing and that bothers me a bit. I think it can be harmful to some people.

This kind of suprise me that I've made this comment
