Do you want to know how to use the tools of "The Secret" the Christian way - in a way that allows you to maintain your Christian religious beliefs and achieve your desires?  It's totally possible and rather simple, (I find Joel Osteen's best selling book, "Your Best Life Now" to be an excellent inspiration and a helpful tool for both Christians and spiritual (non-religious) believers - Joel Osteen is a senior pastor at a growing congregation in Houston, Texas, and has a show on national and international television networks).  

Notice how similar Osteen's concepts are to "The Secret's" and how it doesn't matter what religion you are, you can use these tools in your own way to create the life you desire!  Here is a brief paraphrasing of the seven steps that Osteen outlines in his book, "Your Best Life Now:"  read more »

Although I do not subscribe to a particular religion, and Joel Osteen writes from the Christian perspective, his book "Your Best Life Now" supports many of the same concepts and beliefs that I believe and that are shared in "The Secret."  It's a positive, uplifting, and inspiring book that I am able to reread any section of again when I've had a rough day and I want to boost my spirits.  Although I wanted to read it end to end without putting it down once I started it, the material, like in "The Secret" is so powerful that you really just need to read a chapter at a time and let it all sink in slowly, then reread as you like!  If you're open to "The Secret" or "What the Bleep Do We Know!?" you will probably enjoy reading "Your Best Life Now" by Joel Osteen, and certainly if you are interested in the Christian religion you will enjoy it without a doubt!

"The kingdom of Heaven is within you..."

According to advocates of the movie "The Secret", recently featured on Oprah, and suggested by a quote from the Bible when Jesus says, "the kingdom of Heaven is within you, seek ye first the kingdom of Heaven and all things will be added unto you" there is no Heaven or Hell outside of us.  This may upset those who believe in the separate entity of God and the separate places of Heaven and Hell, and how God judges everyone once they die and sends them to Heaven or Hell based roughly on their actions when they were living.  And it also may delight those who consider themselves athiests and that this life is all there is, so they should do whatever they want without anyone punishing them when they die.  read more »
