So I saw this video called The Secret.. it shows how if you use the law of attraction you can do just about anything you want. I tried it and it seems to be working.

But is it something scientific or spiritual?
Also could what we call Magick spells and prayers just be the law of attraction at work?

There are just some questions I had for those of you who know what the Law Of attraction is. And no this is not some witch craft or voodoo.. It's a real universal LAW. Whatever you think or give out to the universe is what you attract weather you want it or not....

Watch this video to see what im talking about.. its very interesting and true..

http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-1279084763732767570&q=The+Secret&hl=en

I tried it out and it's working wonders for my life...

Another good movie to watch is What the Bleep do We know...

http://video.google.com/videoplay?d...q=what+the+bleep+do+we+know+rabbit+hole&hl=en

It showed the real scientific evidence of what a postive VS a negative.. thought does to water...

and think about this we are 95% water.. so what do our thoughts do to us?

This stuff is cool... the power of thought is great..

But then it does kind of go with what the bible says that a happy heart leads to a long life.. or something like that... that's probably what it was taking about...


well post comments here... thanks.

My girl is reading the book "The Secret" and she can't stop going on and on about the greatness of it.

I myself doubt. Just think something and it'll come to you? Not for me. Then again, that's how she is explaining it to me, and that may not be the complete idea for the book. So, with my current understanding of the book, I don't feel it is for me. But let me know, y'all might change my mind.

the law of attraction.. they basically said.. all you have to do is imagine yourself with whatever you want and it will come to you somehow... that's kind of crazy.. isn't this what we did as kids when we wanted somethin' from santa.. and we all know that don't work.. the fact they got this shit bein' praised by people like oprah doesn't really make it a secret anymore either.. you got half of america tryin' to imagine themselves in a new car right now.. now excuse me as i go smoke these trees while i imagine myself smokin' some more.

I kinda doubted it myself at first. I was up late surfing stuff and came across this.

It;s not that cars and stuff just appear. It's more that what you think is what you attract. For example if you always think negative.. you will attract negative people.. and situations. I found this to be true.

I used to think REALLY negative some time ago. And I always seemed to attract negative people and things around me.

Since I started applying what I saw in this video. I've attracted nothing but good things around me. So it works for me. My life has changed alot since I saw this video.

LOL it doesn't say imagine.. it says THINK. Whatever you think you will attract. It's true. If you think everyone hates me, I'll always be broke, I'm fuckin dumb, I'm sick, I'm gonna die soon. Most likly that will happen to you. Because you are attracting that by thinking it all the time.

I used attract lots of negative energy and people around me when I used to think negative all the time. Now that I have changed my thinking. Things are going way better for me. I'm making way more money. I'm attracting postive people and situations.

Plus this is also scientific with Quntrum physics and everything.

The thing is everyone is so conditioned by the media and TV to think they are dumb and worth nothing that they believe that and they never try to do anything in their lives. But I think once you start thinking positive your life can change for the better.

I know my life has changed since watching this video. And It's not just in my head. I'm seeing the real life results..

But I think this video is really showing the power of Postive Thinking.. it's not wishing or imagineing.

If you just sit there and imagine that new car or house. It will never come! lol

What the video is showing is if you think positive and plan things.. you will get to where you want to go.

Thinking. I will never do this. I am too dumb to ever do that. I am sick. I'm worthless. I suck. That has never gotten anyone anywhere.. and you won't find any successful person who thought like that.

now excuse me as i go smoke these trees while i imagine myself smokin' some more.

I believe that it works..your mind is very powerful and therefore your thoughts have a powerful effect on how you live your life and the decisions you make. The unconscious mind dictates the majority of our behaviors, the challenge is bringing the unconscious into the conscious.

That's a bit misleading. "The Law of Attraction" is not a scientific law by any means comrade, and has very little scientific research behind it.

The Law of Attraction is a theory commonly associated with New Age and New Thought philosophy. It posits that one should never dwell on the negative, as the metaphysical principle of life is embodied in a "law of attraction": "you get what you think about; your thoughts determine your destiny."[1]

One of the earliest known formulations of the Law is contained in the 1906 book (republished in 2006) Thought Vibration or the Law of Attraction in the Thought World by William Walker Atkinson, editor of New Thought magazine. Dick Sutphen affirms that the Law of Attraction states, in a nutshell, that like attracts like.[2]

In March 2006 a film The Secret based on, and explaining, the "Law of Attraction", was broadcast through the internet. The film is now available on DVD. Larry King, Ellen Degeneres, and Oprah Winfrey have recorded shows based on the film. A book based on the film has recently been released.[3] source

Carry on.

One thing to keep in mind regarding "The Secret" is that Sellers don't attract sellers; they attract buyers. Think about that for a moment.

"The so-called law of attraction is the kind of law that many people will find attractive. It provides them with the illusion of having control over their lives. All I need to do is change my attitude and intentions and I'll attract money like a magnet (or lose weight or whatever else it is I want to achieve). If it doesn't work, it's my fault because I didn't genuinely change my attitude and intentions. Sound familiar? What is it that the faith healers say about those who don't get healed? You didn't have enough faith!" -source

Don't get me wrong - positive thinking IS a good thing - but don't start believing it will do more for you and shower you with riches & bitches

i think its real interesting how they explain how our emotions send out types of waves,like if some dude is pissed and i walk by him ill know,and probably subconciously ill feel it,or if i see a lil kid jus having the time of his life with a stick with the biggest smile on his face,not a worry in the world,i know that his good vibes are gonna show,and later on ill think back and itll make me feel better,i think its a kind of like new-age karma,how everybody affects each other wether we like it or not.
another thing i like about this stuff is its pretty much putting you responsible for everything you do,good or bad.and you look at religion like lets take christianity for example,anything good or bad that happens to you is because of god,you your self take no credit for it,its because of god and only because of god that so-so happened.it seems its the complete opposite of what the law of attraction is about.so you see how the government and big wigs are pushin religion so we stay in check and dont feel like we have an impact on anything,where as in fact we do.

its all about vision,if you can visualize your self truly doing something,putting all your mind body and spirit into it,i dont know what can stop you

christians fear the secret.. HA.

"your not in control of your future.. your life is already written.. if you smoke crack it's 'cause of gods plan."

if this "secret" does nothin' but convert 1 person from christianity to humanity... i'll be satisfied.

just watched the video....shit, if all that is true am ready to think positive 24/7...

as i was watching the video i was think'n bout my younger days when for soem reason if i ever did something wrong and i was hella worried bout the consequences and what the punishment was gonna be i'd always got off easy....say i did something wrong like broke someones window or something and i kept think'n all day that when i got home amma get my ass beat by momz or popz and was scared to go home and when i finally went home it'd be no big deal, nothing would happened, either noone complained bout what i did or somehow they just didn't give a fuck or what not.....real shit, so for a long time if i ever did something wrong or for example i forgot to do my homework(back in punjab if you ain't do your homework, you get your ass beat by the teachers) and i was worried bout that all the way to school and thought bout how am finna get my ass beat today for not doing my homework or doing bad on the quiz the day before...guess what happened, the te4acher didn't show up or they let us go home early cuss the electricity went out.....so for hella long i use to think negative on purpose after id do something i knew i wasn't suppose to(or say i wanted something hella bad, id purposely think negative like i ain't gonn get it and most likely i got it) so i don't have to deal with the consequences...i don't know if that makes sense but its the exact opposite of what the video was bout....thats just my personal experience and i don't think like that no more i just deal with shit as i go...just thought i put it out there...
