When one follows a certain system of thought and behavior and it works, that is all the proof most people need. However, while it is true that some of the claims in The Secret about how the “universe” works may seem a little out there, it does not make them necessarily wrong.

Yes, we don’t understand everything, but research seems to indicate that our thoughts, consciousness, focused attention, however you want to call it – can influence the world around us.

A really cheesy premise is built around the idea that the LOA has been kept secret to humanity.
That is one way of looking at it. I look at it as brilliant marketing. It is true, however, that the scientists who are currently involved in this type of research want to keep the data under raps. They have stated so publicly. They don’t hide it, but it is not being advertised either.

Why? Because the data seems to show that, our attention to a certain subject has an influence on it. The mechanism of this action is not fully understood at the moment, but it is being studied, so a lot of attention may screw up the results of the ongoing experiments.
