I paid for 'the Secret'

Quote from Thunderdog:

(Gosh, I hope that the universe doesn't get angry at me. I hate when that happens.)

LOL

Better not speak up against the cult of the material. :eek:

I give it another week before we see at least 5 Hollywood stars on this band wagon.

As soon as that happens the gig is up... :p
 
Quote from Thunderdog:

Ironically, it is those very same "masses" who aren't "ready for the message" that are making the author rich.

BE-DO-HAVE? Scientology, anyone?

I think that a distinction should be made between bibliotherapy and retail therapy. Guess which one I think this book is. (Gosh, I hope that the universe doesn't get angry at me. I hate when that happens.)


Why do half ass traders, who can't even keep simple promises believe they are above everybody else and don't need therapy themselves? :D jk

(I too hate it when that happens....)

Again, the distinction needs to be made as to the nature of the therapy you are referring to. Bibliotherapy tends to soothe the reader (refer to David Burns's Feeling Good Handbook). On the other hand, retail therapy generally has a disproportionately beneficial, lasting effect on the vendor. I looked through the book at a bookstore. If you bought the book, then I think it is fair to say that the author has BEEN-DONE-HAD you.

Now, off you go. The universe is waiting.
:p

Agree.

I also believe the book is not good and doesn't render a good image to the documentary. In order to really understand the power of the message one should see the DVD in full version.

After that, read the creative process in the individual by Troward, and finish off with the science of getting rich by Wattles.

As Spyder puts it, mileage may vary though....(sometimes significantly), but the mix is pretty potent.

Admittedly, I am not at all familiar with the DVD. Is that, perhaps, the more expensive alternative?
:D

You are welcome to use or waste your money as you wish.

Nothing to debate here....
 
Why all the tension guys? Someone said this, and I concur:

You are not here to try to get the world to be just as you want it to be, you are here to create the world around you that you choose, while you allow the world as others choose it to be, to exist also.

Peace...
 
Ha !

CNN just released the results of the latest CDC study of most prescribed drugs in America.

Can you guess the number 1

That's right Antidepressants .. :cool:

Good to see this so called secret has been so effective.




People listen to me:

The best way to feel good and help yourselves is not found in a $50 dvd / book.

Get out of your house go down the street and give the first homeless guy you meet a $50 food voucher / gift certificate.



Do that once a week and then watch your life change for the better.
 
Quote from Optionpro007:

Incorrect.

Even though it is true that what the secret tells is well known, up to now nobody had put it together in such a beautiful manner. It is a great product for those who can appreciate it.

If 50% of the people who have seen the documentary learn or receive a positive message from it, why would the other 50% who didn't see value in it dismiss it and make a universal claim of it being a con or waste of money or whatever?

In my experience, from those who I have shown or gifted the movie to, invariably (and I am not making this up) the underachievers were the ones who didn't find any value in it.

Not trying to imply anything here, just my personal observation.

I mean just because 50% of the people don't see value in this product, is it fair for them to be called all a bunch of losers by the other side? I don't think so.


These are old messages. Its an old Con. Anyone remember T. Lobsang Rampa --- and can anyone tell us who he really was.

Regarding the packaging: remember that a pig with lipstick is still a pig.

I watched the first part of Opra's special and she bought out all these exceptionally successful people to talk about it. If you have any doubt about the con look at the special and look at who the people were and what they were succeeding at!

If it feels too good. If it looks too easy. If you can't see the sucker in the game. Its a very old story.

Someone better mention that Faith isn't important in trading, to Stevie Cohen and Paul Tudor Jones both of which are self proclaimed exceptionally spiritual men.

As for myself .. I give all the glory to GOD for any success I have in the markets.

How wonderful for you. As for me, I am a devout atheist. How wonderful for me, I can give all that glory to myself.

And just fyi, faith does not require religion.

LOL
