Just repeating I'm rich...I'm healthy..I'm positive(you get the idea) isnt going to make it happen. You actually have to believe it or else why bother. That's why they said you have to work such as imagery and emotions. It doesn't just happen. I know it works cuz b4 this came out I came upon it myself. It actually was a bit spooky.

It also reminds me of buying those sea monkeys from the back of the comic book. Moviequill — Yes, it does remind me of that.

There are some concerns, as there is with any teaching, but I’ve found some important truths that need further discussion. Would be interested in some comments.  Thanks! lgp I’m currently reflecting on what the bible has to say about the Secret and the Law of Attraction at my blog, Thought Renewal.

Unfortunately, most people's ideas of doing themselves good end up doing others bad. Which is why Ford was able to thrive, if you believe the philosophy of "The Secret." In truth, I'm a recent "convert," if you will, but it's mostly because I've never really tried to change my mind. I've tried changing my job, my location, my attitude, my friends, my status, etc. But never my mind. I figured, "What the hell? Might as well. Can't fucking hurt now, can it?"

But until I see where this is scientifically proven, I remain skeptical. After all, that's what they teach you to be at expensive universities. I’d love to learn more, Girl and Dog.

Your mental state, along with lifestyle changes, CAN cure cancer. It's scientifically proven, although the mainstream medical community would rather you not know this. I beg to differ, Neil.
