I think "The Secret" is probably more about building positive energy in you more than actually getting every single thing you wish for. It's telling you to set a goal for yourself almost. My friend has the book. I haven't read it yet, but that's my view on it.

The Secret is bullshit. You've been lied too.
The Law Of Attraction is NOT a Law like the Law Of Gravity. The law of gravity can be tested and it ALWAYS works, stuff falls down, all stuff on earth falls down, unless other stuff is holding it up, that's why it's a LAW. Having a positive attitude, being confident, believing you can succeed are all very good and you should do those things, but it doesn't send out magically beams from your brain that actually change reality around you. What they call the brains 'magnetic signature' and all that nonsense, exists only inside your skull. It doesn't get sent out. Scientists have tested this repeatedly, it's NOT happening.
The Secret says that the only reason you don't have what you want is because you are blocking it from coming to you with your thoughts. Which the prefect sales pitch, because whenever it doesn't work the Secret just wags it's finger at you and tells you that you must be 'thought blocking', because the Secret ALWAYS works.
Scientology uses the exact same sales pitch: Our system is perfect, if it’s not working perfectly for you, you must be doing it wrong.
Try telling the 3 billion people on this planet who live on less than a dollar a day that the reason their children are starving to death is because they are blocking food, medicine and clean water with their thoughts. You'll get the same response if you were a Scientologist trying to tell them the only reason they were sick and unhealthy was because they had invisible aliens stuck to their immortal spirit. They wouldn't believe you, and they would be right not to.
It's true that sometimes acting a certain way will get you treated that way by others, but that isn't a LAW. Think about this: If the LAW of attraction was ALWAYS true, then every woman who got raped would have been asking for it in her thoughts in some way. That is the logic that holds if attraction is truly a LAW that ALWAYS works.
And Quantum theory has nothing to do with you visualizing romance or a bigger paycheck. Nothing at all.
The Secret is no more effective then a rabbits foot or four leaf clover: It's just good-luck superstition with some false science thrown in.
Please, come back here and ask about your actual problem. You'll get real, practical advice from other people who want you to be able to be happy, not just who want you to imagine being happy and buy their product.
My e-mail is in my column if you would like to use it, or ask me a question directly. I'd be happy to give you some real advice about your troubles.
