I wonder if it has anything to do with "The Secret"

I'm sure you've heard of "the Secret". http://www.thsecret.tv

The secret is merely "The attractor factor", as term coined by Joe Vitale, I think.

But I think it's more popularly known as The Law of Attraction.

Simply put, everything is connected and everything does not actually exist as you see it. Everything and anything is interconnected.

So in order to succeed, you must always think positive. But not only that, you must live and breathe whatever it is you want in order to actually receive it. Anything. Tangible or intangible, it doesn't matter, whatever you want, need, etc.

You want more money? Picture it. Feel it. Live it in your mind how it would be getting it and then actually receiving it. Only think positively about it, though and don't think much at all and don't dwell at all on those the negative parts of the money or the negative things in your current life that make you need that money so badly (like debt or whatever). You will receive it.

It's nothing new. It just has a new age twist to it. People have been living like this forever and they use a deity to describe "the universe" and "social consciousness".

I'm already getting bored writing about it because I don't believe in the stuff. However, sometimes I wonder if I am fooling myself by not believing in it. Hmm...

Well, I can tell you that when I saw the Video, I just about fell outta my chair when I saw that under Joe Vitale is actually Dr. Joe Vitale and under his name it says "Metaphysician". No joke.

Oh well, maybe it's just the negativity in me. Maybe if I keep it up I won't get a paycheck next week.

^_^

BTW, they insinuate in the movie that things like terrorism can all be dealt with using the Law of Attraction. Somehow, that doesn't surprise me.
