Oprah's "Secret"- do you agree?

[Grandmax3]

Do you think Oprah created this great secret to enhance her viewing? I don't agree with her at all. My beliefs say that "free will" is what affects your life and "choices" you make determine your life.

Ah...the Secret is not a movie she created. It's from those who have written (for many, many years) about The Law of Attraction....

 

[Heidict]

So, what was her "secret"?

I have no idea what you are talking about.

 

[poohandwendy]

Totally confused here too...LOL

Count me in as not having a clue what you're talking about.

I've been watching parts of her today and have been trying to figure out exactly waht they are saying the Secret is. I have the previous show taped where they revealed the concept but I haven't watched it yet. So far, today, a lot of the people they have profiled have just made common sense and even Biblical truths come into the light for themselves.

I think what I read last week was an article about this. There is a book called "The Secret". It's concept is what you project or think comes to you. Positive thoughts bring positive things, negative thoughts bring negativity to your life. Have no idea if this is what was on Oprah's show though. I didn't watch.

Probably, sounds like it's up her alley. She has been getting into alot of new age stuff lately.

Wow what a concept. Damn it...I should have written that...I could be a millionaire right now.

If they are saying that positive thoughts make for a happier life, and negative ones make people miserable, I agree. if they are saying positive thoughts will give you a better chance at winning the lottery or less likely to die in a plane crash or change fate or something ...I totally disagree.

I didn't watch Oprah but.....

I think that if you feel "it" and live "it" and believe "it" then "it" will become real.

But doing all of that feeling, living and believing is where the real work comes in.

I have wondered is it premonition or did I make "it".

It is really difficult to get into that "zone" (for lack of a better word) and stay there for enough time to make it happen. But I have done it and it does work.

One more "it".......it is very weird but true. And I thought I was the only one who knew about this.

I didn't watch Oprah either, but it seems to be a call for positive thinking and suggest that your attitude will affect your material reality. It sounds like a nice concept, but also one which can only emerge in a culture which has a fairly comfortable standard of living.

I just got off the phone with oldest dd and she asked if I understood what the O show was about. I get the part about how you project yourself to others is ultimately how things will come back to you....but the majority of it just seemed very new age and mixed up.

Huh?

Do you keep a pyramid under your bed?

As for Oprah, was her guest Anthony Robbins or Elron Hubbard? Maybe she's becoming a Scientologist like her good friend Tom.

The Secret is the power of Positive Attraction.

The Secret is defined as the law of attraction, which states that like attracts like. The concept says that the energy you put into the world—both good and bad—is exactly what comes back to you. This means you create the circumstances of your life with the choices you make every day.

I think the power of positive attraction is true. You bring to yourself what you project. If your always negative, you'll bring negative energy to your life. I don't think there is anything new age about this? I think it makes perfect sense. There is nothing wrong with opening your mind to being positive and using that postive energy to make you, your marriage, your family better. I think the world is in some real need of more positive messages in the world.

A great example is that when someone says how are you doing. If you say, ok I guess, I'm getting by, I'm hanging in there etc. Now if you say, I'm doing great or I'm doing fantastic then you bring positive energy into your life instead of negative energy.

I really think I want to try to bring some of these concepts into my life. Since I watched the first show I have tried not to say I'm hanging in there. I also am trying to be nicer to other drivers while driving to work. So for example on my way home tonight. Even though I couldn't wait to get home, I let two cars into my lane. A big huge semi and another car. Normally I wouldn't have taken the time to do this, but today I felt it was the thing to do.
