The Secret

[PatriotsRule]

by Rhonda Byrne. Has anyone read it? I'm working on chapter 3. It's pretty good stuff!

is this the one about the law of attraction?

What is it about? Maybe I have read it. Not sure though.

is this the one about the law of attraction?

Yes. It's about the law of attraction and how it works. The main focus of it is how people can use it to their advantage, basically. I think there's something to it.

that works off the basis that perception=reality.

I dunno. I've read a lot of theoretical texts. and there is some, very very very very very vague truth to this one, but I don't think its as palpable as its stated in that theory.

It's funny. As I was reading the book, I started connecting a lot of different experiences I've had to what she was saying. Plus it seems to have worked for quite a few people. I know a lot of people could dismiss it by saying it's a coincidence or whatever, but I'm giving it a shot. I mean, what bad outcome could thinking positively cause? I'm not saying you're wrong necessarily, because I was a little skeptical about it at the beginning myself for my own reasons. Once I opened up to it, though, it really seemed like it could work.

I think it all depends on your level of awareness.

There was an example given in there, it said that if you focus on being late, you will attract things that will make you late to you. Now, if you don't worry about it, you won't.

Think about it this way. If you're focused on being late, you're going to notice any little thing that will delay you. if you don't care if you're late or not, you'll just go with the flow, and not notice any delays.

Now, a positive outlook never hurt anyone. I'm all for being positive. But I don't think that it works the way they say it does.

I have a similiar thing that happens to me. If I see a big word that I learn the meaning of, I will start seeing it everywhere. It's not that it justs pops up everywhere after that. It's that I start being aware of it. I never would have noticed it before.
