has anyone read "the secret" or "The Law of Attraction"

There is a Sequel to The Law of Attraction" it is called "Ask and It Is Given" and it has a guide book and a method for gradually getting from one level of negative thinking and so it is helpful to use when you are thinking very negatively.

I know, they did have one suggestion, just relax (the key to all of it) and think constant thoughts of perfect, perfect etc one after another. Another method would be to think of good things that you want or have had. Or ask yoursef "wouldn't it be nice if...

You really should find some some time to read both of them. there is now a sequel out to "the law of attraction" it is called "Ask and It Is Given"..a more In depth manual to use with "The Law of Attraction".

Actually I found that the Secret could be described as a bit "cheesy", but it has one theory, your thoughts have power especially if you have a positive feeling (happiness, excitement) when you think them (for example get more money by thinking good happy thoughts about money, and not your debts and and lack of money...doing this will only attract more debts and lack of money). If you can handle reading a book that has been channeled, (or if you can just ignore that part and concentrate on the lesson being taught) "The Law of Attraction" is a more powerful and more instructive as to exactly how to go about it. It is taught in sort of a teacher-student mode with one of the two authors asking important questions of the channeled ones (that call themselves Abraham). So,again, I was able to get more details and specifics out of "The Law of Attraction" than "The Secret". The law of attraction simply stated is that like attracts everything that is like it. The universe is like a maganet. If we are povertry minded and think only about poverty, debts, and how "bad" rich people really are, then we will only attract poverty. I have one example from my childhood. When I was about 13, there was a time that my father (over a period of days or weeks, don't remember for sure how long)...kept telling my mother how sick she looked. She eventually believed him and became sick. Think of fat kids in school, all the other kids tell them how fat they are, and what happens...well they really don't get any slimmer! (another one I grew up with)

I think it is like any other exercise, it gets easier the more often you use it.
