Book: "The Secret"

Postby I_Like_Plants » Tue 27 Mar 2007, 15:39:58

They're talking about it on NPR right now, what a load of crap. If you're unhappy, it's YOUR fault! You! Worker No. 47! Start smiling RIGHT NOW!

If the average 'Merkan knew German, better to title the book "Arbeit Macht Frei".

Just the kind of book you'd expect to be pushed in the work-camp 'Merkan life has become. Work harder! Stamp out negative thoughts! Program yourself better! To be a harder working person with no negative thoughts! None! Not even about your 30% credit cards rates or that funny lump you can't afford to get looked at, nothing! Just work harder! Work harder, and SMILE! It's the law!

The power of attraction does work, bro. I prove it all the time. after watching the secret at my ex girlfriends house I began to experiment with the power. I envisioned what I truly wanted. I started with what kind of woman I TRULY wanted. My girfriend at the time I felt was not the one for me and was stifling my creativity and was also destroying my outdoor culture and lifstyle. Destroying who I was. So I envisoined what I wanted and then acted as if I actually had that perfect woman. Within weeks I met a beautiful artist sweetheart that was a outdoor enthusiest. She actually invited me on a run up manastash ridge! Fucking kindred soul. What a sweety darling! My lord. Then I met a phenomenal ex model tom girl 140+ IQ hottie that would burn the balls off a bull. I mean smoking passionate romantic drop dead gorgeous loves guns and savage sex. I mean these two girls are my dream girls. Hot.
You see before this I was just meeting ho hum mediocre. Coincidence or truly power of attraction? Im betting there is something to it. It also helps that I am an outgoing stud that is charming warm and loving and passionate. I exude fun and energy. What can I say I love living. I love woman. I love the power of having the power to determine my own fate as much as possible in this oil induced stupor.

Yeah Holmes you're a real little fucking beam of sunshine....

The principle of attraction does work because you're essentially adjusting your eyes/senses to pick up what was always there - I used to use it when I was a little kid shell collector - by having in mind what the shells looked like and keeping my eyes on the beach, I tended to find more than other kids - I was more interested in shells than them, I should say.

But this bullshit is not a universal cure, people cannot wish terminal cancer away, people cannot with a broken leg is healed, no amount of wishing will make my bad eye better or get me the $100,000 I'd need to get even the most basic, liberal-arts, college degree.

Positive thinking is not going to head off the Depression we're headed for. Frankly, it's what caused it. Like the photo someone posted here of a starved-to-death African kid, with the comment, "should have saved his pennies, huh?" Brilliant. Shows exactly what's wrong with this shit.

And the worst part of it is, Americans blame the victem. If you're poor, or injured, or sick, whatever raw deal you got in the DNA shuffle (we don't really believe in DNA anyway) or whatever misfortune, it's your own fucking fault.

So, what you get is the punitive model rather than the public-health model for dealing with poverty, disease, addictions, etc.

She is the bomb frank! she only wants one kid. Thats doable. No I dont share that stuff in public. No names or places allowed! PMS knows about the artist babe o rama. he can vouch for me. :-)
I have no need to lie.
Plants your rad! hahaha! You crack me the fuck up. Im sorry that it striked a nerve. I do have to agree tho half the secret was a materialiistic peice of shit. However i took the good out of it and the spiritual side. The earth centered parts are in there if you dig deeper into it. The cup half full.

Yo PMS my friend and mentor! Yeah went on my first date last night with her. Hit it off with big chemistry between us. So sweet. No work just pure naturality. She smelled sweet too. Not too overpowering just enough. No pethculli. I think it was jasmine and mabe a tinge of flower water. She has a nice tough body and artists hands. I like the working hands. she has her own kiln and studio. we fit well. So many things we do the same! Like we chew 2 to 3 pieces of gum everytime. Things like that I like. Going to go running up the ridge on thursday. yeah i do work fast the charm oozes out of me with the right chemistry. How you doing?

Call it Jungian “synchronicity,” Christian “gratuitous graces,” Islamic “occasionalism,” quantum “non-locality,” or even the Law of Attraction if you like. It could be that the universe whispers in coincidence because it’s the only way we’ll listen, but we just don’t know for sure. That’s what’s so maddening about The Secret’s teachers’ wide-eyed claims of absolute knowledge about such things, inflating the universe of Einstein and Heisenberg into “your catalogue,” from which you order anything you like by thought alone. This is perilously close to magical thinking. It’s similar to how infants think.

yes she loved being massaged too. I massaged her arms and shoulders a bit and thursday Im laying down the back massage. Im a touchy feely guy. See this is stuff that needs to be talked about more here. All this doomer hate pissed off stuff will only make the crash more brutal. Not much love on this site. I am guilty as well! But i at least mix it up! hahaha
And she has a good background to boot. No whoring or lines of ex boyfriends. and no stinking kids from sperm donors. Score!

The Secret: 1st 20 minutes

Weird "glitch" in that video yet it is the first 20 minutes.
I noticed an Emerald Tablet.
New interpretations of old thoughts IMHO which is of course SSDD.

Probably something to it as there is probably something to prayer and meditation ET AL. yet I do not believe we can have anything we want.... unless.... and this is a huge "unless".... unless you wish to believe that we can exist in alternate realities which I suppose is just as possible as everything we know being created 5 seconds ago :-D

So in essence if you did not want to live in a PO world you could exit this reality and goto another reality where everything exists just like it does here but the rules defining Oil depletion do not apply :roll:
Don't laugh at me - its not my theory - blame people like Einstein!

My theory is that anything is possible sometimes but for some FUCT up reason its not right now! :cry:

PMS, a big brother to Holmes, well that explains it! :wink:

Yeah lets get'em!

look out you betas me and Holmes are going to kick your butts.


Let me just say I am thoroughly convinced that the secret must be true.

If an out going stud on the intrawebs says he is banging a bunch of hotties after watching the movie then there must be something to it.

We all know about that empty space that you wanted filled. The nagging feeling that . . .You already told us. Holmes is doing his best. We are all puppets of DNA, I hope that holmes gets his rocks off like no one ever did. And I hope his girlfriend does too.

:lol: :lol: We need a lot more posts like this!

As for "The Secret", its' really no secret at all. It's a matter of seeing things in a positive light rather than negative, and focusing your energy on positive changes. Without having seen the DVD or read the book, I think there's a misunderstanding between using positive thinking to shape positive action versus the idea of just "wishing it all were true".

Example: "I would like to work with endangered tigers". Well, I can think positively: "There's lots of work out there to be done", and then formulate a plan for doing it: "OK, I need to finish this 4 year degree, internship for free with World Wildlife Fund, etc". No guarantees for success, but I guarantee that success is a lot more likely than if you think negatively: "No one's ever going to hire me to do that kind of work" or "What's the point of going to school, a thousand other people are trying to do the same work - what a waste".

My take on it, from what little I've seen/heard, is simply the idea that life can (reasonably) be what you make of it. Of course bad things can happen to you along the way, but you deal with it and you continue on.
After fueling up their cars, Twyman says they bowed their heads and asked God for cheaper gas.There was no immediate answer, but he says other motorists joined in and the service station owner didn't run them off.

I think Kunstler calls this Jiminy Cricket syndrome. Wish hard enough and its yours. Otherwise, face reality and deal with it. I prefer to buy my lottery ticket and spend a good three or four days in fantasy land spending my winnings until the big let down of the drawing. I also believe we don't have much longer left for civilization. So I keep a healthy balance. But I like fantasy land much more. People like me there....
