"The Secret" is both a book and a movie, written and produced by Rhonda Byrnes.  Due to its rapid underground popularity and because of its significant message, it was featured on the Oprah show twice in February 2007 with 5 guests from "The Secret" and 2 returning guests.  The first guests on Oprah's show were Rhonda Byrnes, Jack Canfield, Lisa Nichols, James Arthur Ray, and Reverand Dr. Michael Beckwith, with James Arthur Ray and Rev. Dr. Michael Beckwith returning for the follow up show.

The movie features some 20 or so experts on "The Secret" from authors, entrepreneurs, etc. to doctors, quantum physicists, etc., all who successfully use The Secret in their lives.  It also features famous historic quotes from Albert Einstein, Henry Ford, and more (see http://goodkarma.org/node/150) that seem to support The Secret.  read more »

I like the two quotes Lisa Nichols from "The Secret" r(ecently featured on the Oprah Show) frequently uses.  One of them is something like, "when you're thinking about something it's like you're placing an order to the universe" and the other one is, "the universe doesn't hear that you don't want it".  Although she doesn't go into details, this is how I understand her two quotes.

We are all in the unusual restaurant called 'the universe' where everyone and everything is both a customer and a server all at once, since everthing shares one energy, there are no separate entities.  This restaurant has an infinite menu that you can order from and when you're ready to order, all you have to do is focus your thoughts on what you want.  Someone in the restaurant (it might be someone you know, a stranger, or even yourself) will bring you your order when it is ready.   read more »

Does anyone remember the build-up to the 2004 Presidential Election, specifically, the 'predominant' attitude of "not Bush" or "anyone but Bush" and all the yelling and shouting about what Bush had done wrong?  Have you ever heard the expression, "any publicity is good publicity" or "there's no such thing as bad publicity?"  How about Lisa Nichols (from "The Secret" and the Oprah show) saying "the universe doesn't hear that you don't want it" (what you focus on expands, whether you want it or not).  Do you see where I'm going - what went wrong in the election and how to avoid a similar situation in the future?  By saying "not Bush" and putting all that energy into saying how bad Bush was, we not only failed to make an actual decision about what we did want, but we put most of our energy into "Bush."  We did exactly what "The Secret" and the Law of Attraction tell us not  read more »

What I like about Vision Boards (aka Visualization Boards and Treasure Maps):

In February of 2007, Oprah had 5 guests on one of her shows, all from the hit movie, "The Secret," based on the book by Rhonda Byrnes (one of her guests).  Her other 4 guests were:  Lisa Nichols, Jack Canfield, James Arthur Ray, and Reverand Dr. Michael Beckwith.  Then the following week Oprah had 2 of the guests return for a follow-up show on "The Secret" (James Arthur Ray and Rev.
