Good Christ, The Secret has become such a religion now that everybody believes in it and nobody questions it. They start with a theory losesly based on quantum and conventional physics, then make a string of assertions with diddly-squat to back them up.

My favorite was when they say "some people think this couldn't work because there isn't enough wealth to go around. But here's the secret: There is enough!"
next person: "There is enough!"
next person: "There really is enough!"
next person: "There is, enough!"


That about sets the tone for the whole movie. They speak their assertions adamently, convincingly, and with great possitivity; so sure that they know it's right, it must be! And we can back it up with evidence! Entirely anecdotal, easily made-up evidence, that probably relies on cherry picking possitively-thinking people who got lucky.


Don't buy into the latest fad just because believing in it comes with promises of grandiose solutions to all the world's problems. In that case you might as well just pick up some religion's mythology and believe in that. Things are almost (or entirely) always a scam when you have to believe in it to work, because then if it doesn't work, you've engrained belief in your mind to override logic; interpreting everything that happens, success or no, so that it matches up to your preconceptions.
Gandalf_The_Grey Reviewed by Gandalf_The_Grey on . "The Secret" Works for Weed! I read the book and own the movie and I am a firm believer in "The Secret" because MMJ comes to me, even when I don't have money! As long as I focus on happy feelings about marijuana, I receive more in return! I suggest everybody either read the book or see the movie... The marijuana will cometh! :jointsmile:, Laura Rating: 5
