has anyone of you read the book or seen the DVD titled The Secret? Its all about how you bring things into you life simply by thinking about them and that you can manifest, as they call it, anything. What are your thoughts on this and do you think it is possible? have you done anything along these lines?

I have not read the book nor seen the movie but I am definitely interested to do so. Without having read the book, I can't offer much insight into the specifics...but as far as positive thinking goes- I do believe that there is a certain truth to thinking things into being. Not so much because you actually thought them into being, but because your thoughts influence your actions. I think that if you are expecting something good to manifest, you unconsciously (and consciously) take the steps towards reaching that goal. Almost like learned helplessness...if you think that you can't do it, then you won't do it. This is definitely a book that is on my list of things to read though.

it is something you really should read. it opens up a world of possibilities. I dont know if it really works like they say it does, but hey its worth a try no?

I saw the movie a year ago. Watched it first on the computer, then bought the first version, and then when the second one came out, I bought that one too. I've since watched it more times than I can count. The changes in my life have been amazing. What have you noticed as being different so far? -Renee http://www.manifes-t.com

The biggest thing I have noticed is my attitude toward things. I seem happier, most times. I am just having an issue with speed, I want things to happen more quickly than they have been. I am trying to manifest some extra money and have some leads on a new buisness but I need the money to start it up, Everything revolves around money so it seems. You need money to make money... they say you shouldnt feel the "rat race" but I think it has almost gotten worse. maybe i am doing something wrong... dont really know..

there are many threads about the secret -- you should do a search and see what comes up. I read the book and i found one flaw: 1. they say you can cure any illness with the secret! even CANCER! that sounds really dangerous to me, but i guess it is because i don't believe... I think some of the practices that it advocates make sense, like using meditation and being kind to yourself, eliminating negative thoughts, that advice is helpful. but when i'm sick, i'm going to see a doctor!!

yeah I would be a little leary of trying to think a major illness away. but I am sure alot of the theories are good, and I am a firm believer in positive thinking. I just cant imagine thinking money and having money just show up...maybe it is my doubts that hinder me as well.
