The Secret

checked out the website for The Secret. The section on health has some pretty out-there stuff on it:

Do not speak of your illness, or disease with others.

Be happy, knowing that in your state of happiness your body is healing itself.

Know you have the power within you to heal yourself.

As you appreciate, as you love, as you are happy, as you are grateful, you are summoning wellbeing and it is pouring through your body and disease is vanishing in the moment.

Know that there is no such thing as incurable.

As you love completely and feel the joy within you, disease cannot exist.[i]

And if you're still diseased, you're just not loving completely enough, so it's your own damn fault, you loser!

I've got a little brass box where I keep a lock of my high school gf's hair. Never told anyone. When I'm blue, I take it out and smell her shampoo. She became a cultist, btw, and gives her money to a channeling guru.

This represents the awful power of make believe.

There is some truth there and that is the danger. Hope and optimism are helpful, but they are not a cure all. What could be more optimistic and hopeful than a golden retriever? Golden retrievers would never get sick, if THE SECRET ideas were true. We'd have yellow dog population explosion.

The secret is that the only secret is that you are a dumbass and that secret is only a secret to you.

If you are going to sell a lie you have to wrap it in enough truth so people won't realize that it is complete BS.

I flung "The Secret" across the room, sure some of it is actually true and positive thinking is great, then as I continued to read I realized "hang on, this is complete horse shit." I used the power of my mind and the cosmos to distance myself from complete garbage.
