"The Secret" (Free Google Video)

[Holland]

Allright.
I have used it for a month now.
The first 2,5 week it worked pretty well. Then my ego started to get impatient, and ironicly results stopped too. I have had some interesting experiences with it.

It's also nice to do 'little things' with it. I've got a vacation job now where I have to cycle to. On the way there are traffic lights. I started visualizing that every time I approach it, it turns green. After doing that for a week, it does that like 80-90% of the times, while before I ended up waiting pretty long for about 2/3 of the times.

I think about using it on my skateboarding now, since I'm very passionate about that and they say it works extra well there.
I'll keep you guys updated.

A potential paradox with this has come to mind. Now I know that there's enough resources for everyone etc (people like different things), but what about when it's two things directly opposing each other.

For example I'm well into my football/soccer, and say I utilized this to make my team win the league. So I'd visualise them picking up the trophy at the end of the season, the interviews with the ecstatic players, I'd remember past league wins to put myself in a positive frame of mind, and I'd imagine chatting to my mates about my team winning the league. But what if someone who supports the rival team wanted the exact same thing, and went about the same methods.

How would the universe accomodate such a thing?

This is my personal take on thing but that's where willpower comes in. Whoever's willpower is strong enough, wins. Faith, character, virtue, etcetc all come into play if both side are of equal skill.

I don't really watch the news anymore, cause of all the negativity.

Im really enjoying and being blessed by getting the parking spaces I want. Its really amazing just feeling good about, having faith and in just a few minutes of waiting the nearest parking spot at the store or school is empty, and I have time to do a reverse park so I can easily leaving the parking lot.

Also having faith and feeling good about getting ahead of the traffic, and the stop lights has been a blessing to me.

I Give God the Glory, Great Things he hath done and what he will do.

You see if there is any negativity, you will not get the results that you want, especially if your soccer teammates are always mad and upset.

Lets say two tennis players want to be the champion, they face each other. One of them loses a set and down 5-3. In this situation, it is about faith. The question is do you have the faith and infinite belief that you will win this set at 7-5 and win the next set and become the champion.

In general, Nothing is impossible with God, what he has done for other, he can do for you. Only if you had true living FAITH, BELIEF, and Giving of Thanks.

the secret is real(believe it or not). here's some great examples,
i'll start with the bad.- only because are thoughts are dominated and influenced easier and most people are more receptive and able to relate to the bad.

1. i had just bought a ford tempo and the car worked great till everybody told me those cars are nothing but garbage and trouble. soon enough after hearing and "believing what they said" the car simply went downhill. i literally knew that every 2 months the car world breakdown and it did. (thoughts create things, good or bad).

2. i was out travelling the world making great money by myself and no bad influence to stand in my way, i did and chose what i wanted to do. then i went home to visit and met a girl in new brunswick. she was well worth it. but my mindframe about new brunswick was very negative. there's no money here. i can't get ahead here. there's no work here. and guess what......all those negative thoughts came true. it's not until i saw the secret and read alot of books about the law of attraction that i changed my perception fast.

3. the killer..... "visualize and it will materalize" came true. the one biggest thing i was worried about was that it is my womans last year in her accountant course- what if she gets pregnant before she finishes....your wish is my command.....bang.... so she is. all these years i never thought about her getting pregnant and once i let that invade my thoughts it really happened.

thats just a few things in the past that relate to the law of attraction. thinking negatively.

next post i'll show how great this law can be with a positive vibration.

can anyone gimme a link to the actual movie,...or any other means of getting it.

all those links are either confusing or dead

I'm biting my lip here... itching but respectfully declining to be a snooty a--hole when I reply.

Please read this, though:

Illusory correlation is the phenomenon of seeing the relationship one expects in a set of data even when no such relationship exists. (Wikipedia, but its accurate enough)

and then consider this:

My grandmother plays Bingo on Wednesday evenings. She brings with her several small toy animals from her childhood. When she talks to them in the right way before playing, she usually wins a game or too -- or so she thinks.

To see if there's anyting "going on" there, she SHOULD keep track of how many times she feels she talked correctly to her animals, write it down, and then also write down if she wins later that night.


So I challenge you to test your theory in the same way. If you're right, you've really got something.


However, you can't test it if you claim A > B as well as ~A > ~B. That's logically circular and removes the theory from testability.

whistler, there is magic in thought if you truly believe.
for years i believed that if i'm a jerk to this girl, she's going to like me. and voila it worked. wow i thought this stuff really works. but it got boring treating somebody like crap all the time. i thought that there must be 1 girl out there that doesn't respond to this a-hole approach.

call it a miracle or just a coincidence. but all those years after dumping drama queen after drama queen. they would always call me up and tell me how much they missed me and i would just tell them i met someone else. and they would ask me whats her name and i would tell them her name was laura(thats the only name i could come up with). i would then describe how pretty and great this girl was. that always got rid of them.
after a couple of years i was ready to head out the next few of weeks to pursue my rock career and i went to a party and this incredible blue eyed beauty walked through the door. i just had to have her, i just had to have her!

later that night when the party was dying down one of my girl pals came up to me and said i know somebody that thinks your really cute and i said who?
to my great surprise it was blue eyes. when my girl pal introduced me to her and told me her name it was LAURA. this girl was thje exact duplication that i told those drama queens about.

was it a miracle maybe or did i manifest the girl of my dreams. either way i won!

I don't enjoy replying to this stuff because it makes me seem cold and calculating.

If you want to attribute what you consider lucky events in your life to positive thinking, go ahead. I can't imagine there's any harm in that, and overall it sounds great.

If you're looking for truth in life, however, that means you're also willing to test and reject ideas if they stop making sense. If you're not willing to test and possibly reject, then I'd argue you're not really looking for truth. If you are though, and you're so inclined, I invite you to try out what I outlined above. That method is the bedrock of empirically-gained knowledge and is being used around the world this instant to further our knowledge and sort out what works and what doesn't.

whistler, everybody has their opinions on what works and what doesn't. even if somebody doesn't have an open mind about the secret or think and grow rich or anything thats o.k. it wouldn't be a forum if everybody agreed. it's even cool if somebody else puts a spin on things and shakes things up.

Oh, for sure.

I'm just saying, if you want an answer on whether it works, and not just an opinion, this is how to get one...

 

[insanity]

did anybody read the master key system? i read that this is the book that the secret is based off of. i read that bill gates read it and quit havard after completing it, and it was being passed around silicon valley and the people who applied it became millionaires.

wow this stuff is very cool

So according to this, you can control someone elses mind (like walking over to a car and giving you a parking space)? And I can just sit there in my room and think of a hot chick, and one will ring my door bell and visit me.

 

[B-Lemond]

STICKY!

 

[Brian20o2]

STICKY!

Agreed

lol. Not quite. You may have to wait a few min for the space and you will at least need to go out and socialize before the hottie jumps into your lap.

No, that's not how the human mating sequence goes :nono:

The universe will put you to the motions neccesary to achieve what you're asking for. It'll hand you the situations to take action. Flow with the system and you'll get it.


As for whistler. The fact that you

don't enjoy replying to this stuff because it makes me seem cold and calculating.

says more than enough. If you don't believe it works, that becomes your reality.

 

[NHY]

Thanks man, this will save from downloading from a somewhat unrelibable torrent. Now, I'll off to watch my bandwitch ( sp? ) meltdown! :woo:

Edit: I think I'll stick to the torrent, this died on me and you CAN'T resume!

 

[Blue Phoenix]

If an ugly guy walks around thinking he is the greatest hottest mofo around. He will become the biggest loser and joke around. Actions and Reality define your sucess not what's in your head. Nobody in the world actually belives this **** do they? If you do you just keep thinking and wanting it. People will live in the real world will actually get what your obsessing over.

I'm sure those old guys in the video are using this secret and getting hot women to love them. Please...

I'm sure you can use this to make yourself feel better.. of course. But not alter reality. It's good to be postive and have self-confidence but this is rediculcous and will make you out as a joke.

I'm sure crack *****s feel good on crack, are those good emotions making them attract amazing good things? I'm sure lots of poor people keep wanting money.. their just placing their order to the universe.... this money is going to be created out of nowhere.. wow..

Yeah. I am not trying to be pessimistic but think for awhile. In the movie the guy says "Oh, imagine you have a bicycle and you´ll have it" then all of a sundden the kid´s father comes out with his dream bicycle.

It´s very easy to say "think positive and you´ll attract what you want" oh yeah. And what about "taking actions" in the first place? In the case of the kid, he did nothing but to think about the bicycle. I bet we´ll see a bunch of AFCs "thinking positive" and being passive waiting for their "princess" to come to them and have sex right away. :crackup:

 

[arglebargle]

I just watched this video. I am an incredibly logical person and can not accept their explanation, it's too wishy-washy. But I do believe if you do what they say, it will improve your life and you will be more likely to achieve the goals you visualize.

Why? Because of our subconscious. Our subconscious thought processes are much more powerful than our conscious thougth processes. It's the same way people can suddenly arrive at a solution to a problem without thinking. They had their subconscious constantly working in the background. If you can tap the potential of your subconscious and focus it on good goals in your life, instead of having it analyze negative/counter-productive issues, then you will be much further ahead in the game of life.
