The Secret. Shhhhh. It's a secret. Uh, well, you know, except for being a bestseller, and the fact that all these old-boy geniuses knew all about the "Secret," that being that you can access the Major Genie of the Universe, by enacting the "Law of Attraction." And the Jews knew about this power, didn't they, all them years gone by, all the great minds knew about thinking your way into big bucks. Just allow the universe to provide it. God's blessings.
Of course, you know it just ain't so, Joe. You know it, in the very fiber of your being, you know it is bunk, that they are lying to you. That the people who prosper from "The Secret" are the very ones selling "The Secret" in book and DVD and a theater near you. The universe did not provide the big bucks to these scammers, but hungry people, people starving for magic, for get rich, for the powers of the universe.
Like "The Neverending Story," the story is inside the story. There is no "neverending story," just a story about the "neverending story." Diggeth?
The Jews absolutely NEVER believed in
anything remotely close to "The Secret." The Jews prospered because of the simple formula: 1. stick to your roots, 2. take care of your family, 3. get educated, 4. work hard, 5. don't squander money. No big secret there. An people have hated them for it.
"The Laws of Attraction?" Um, what laws are those? Any goofball knows that if you place a magnet positive to a magnet positive, they do not attract each other. Pretty simple stuff, that. They repel each other. Anyone, aside from Paula Abdul, for the "Laws of Opposites?"
The hucksters selling "The Secret?" Think about it, if "The Secret" were true, would these people actually look the way they do? Wouldn't they speak the reality of a new face? Think about it. Why are they aging so very badly, almost all of them, without hitch or glitch, if "aging" is just a matter of mind, then why the heck are they aging so very, very badly?
If "The Secret" IS true? Then why sell DVDs and books? Why not give everything away? You'd get thousandfolds back in return. Why?
It's called sales. And suckers.
“I do not know what I appear to the world; but to myself I seem to have been only like a boy playing on a seashore, and diverting myself now and then by finding a smoother pebble or a prettier shell than ordinary, whilst the great ocean of truth lay all undiscovered before me.”
- Sir Isaac Newton
