Newton for instance is about gravity which big things attract smaller things such as the earth and the apple. Eisenstein was used for there energy argument as well as there energy perceived notion. Plato was kinda the same deal with Newton with his to object doping experiment in his latter years when he was under house arrest for having the testicular fortitude to say hey i think the sun is the center of the universe not the earth. Eidson probably just had some quotes that they delved into saying he was talking about "the secret" i think he said something along the lines of, "I know this world is ruled by infinite intelligence. Everything that surrounds us- everything that exists - proves that there are infinite laws behind it. There can be no denying this fact. It is mathematical in its precision." i was actually surprised they didn't use this one maybe it got cut out our something. As far as people keeping it a secret i would argue that the fact that we do not educate our children on the power there brain has to focus on something and the amazing things that can come from doing so could be an argument that the people in power did keep it a secret whether intentionally or not. If i was Rockefeller am i going to spend time out of my day explaining my way of thinking to people of course not. Not because he didn't want to but because no one self anylized like that back then and if they did they would never tell anyone because if they did they would probably be thought of as a loon or even a little Kooky i mean Rockefeller came out and said "Hey I'm rich because i simply intended it my whole life and you poor people did not" He would have been ripped to shreds or at least thought of as a bit a prick. The whole thought wave thing cant really be argued because like you said there is no scientific evidence supporting it but that doesn't mean its not true one could argue that our people actions ripple through space time but our actions were all thoughts first. So it seems to be a chicken and the egg thing happening here. I would also like to through out some love to BIll Hicks who said, "Life is just a dream and we can change it anytime we want. We have to make the chose right hear right now between fear,hate,greed,guns or love. There are some that say what about my expensive car, my house,my business, my family this has to be real but its not its just dream. There have been people through out history that have told us this and we... Kill them (crowd laughter) but it all doesn't matter because this is just dream." Who would have thought such a deep thought provoking statement would have come from an R rated at best comedian. Apparently Bill Hicks did so i ask you is Bills hicks action of tell this joke to his audience that has lived on past his death or his thought. I leave you with that.

This movie changed my life. You remind me of something my grandfather told me when I was very young. "It's a sure sign of true insecurity when a man has to tear someone (something) else down, in order to make himself look better." As much success as you may have had in your life, don't tarnish it by tearing others down. It only makes you look and feel truly weak. Thank you for reinforcing my grandfather's creedo.

You're supposed to 'move' about in your life in ways that make you happy all the while holding fast to your dreams - it's not your job to figure it all out. Even now you're limiting yourself because you think your dream has an ending period. I waited ten years for that perfect soul mate - he had 4 kids and I had three (BIG family) and I ended up moving. We've been married 12 years and I now have 4 beautiful grandchildren. As for those babies, I agree with the fact that they didn't 'think' it into being because babies can't 'reason', and man has a free will - (read above again). The Secret does not go on about certain 'details' because some of them ought to be just common sense to most (like the innocent babies). There are many different things that I could say about The Secret, but it's about the idea behind the Law of Attraction - which is very real. The Law of Reciprocity is also very real too, which means that those people who do wicked things to the innocent, will reap consequences. We don't fully understand the WHY's of God and all things in His kingdom, but we are given Laws to work with. He is still in control too -- "The unceasing activity of the Creator, whereby in overflowing bounty and goodwill, He upholds His creatures in ordered existence, guides and governs all events, circumstances, and free acts of angels and men, and directs everything to its appointed goal, for His own glory" ~ J.I Packer. You're still growing spiritually and you've got to believe that. It is no conincidence that you and I have come to this place and you and I met. God loves you, and your life is not over. Do the things that make you happy and live a happy life 'in spite' of the things you THINK you might be missing or 'don't have'. My life is not perfect but I'm happy. Yes, seemingly 'random' things happen, but God IS in control even though awful things happen to babies and innocent children, and whether we want to believe that He even exists or not. I’m sorry to hear that you limited yourself like that because that’s not how the Law works.

BUT the movie says that all things and events are caused by our thoughts- so I m just saying that this is not true at all- & sometimes GOD allows a hurricane- we didnt attract it - it just is- but people fear what is - people are so afraid of the random things that they cling for dear life whatever belief with explain it away...I have searched and prayed for a soul mate for 20 yrs.. I truly believed it would happen- plotting my whole life around building a family- not taking jobs or moving where it might interfere with this happening and just planning that it will happen- but it never did. Im 45 and now the thoughts of a big family are gone and so are my hopes- some things just are _I would meet great men but they didnt want what I wanted or vise versa.

For anyone else reading this blog, The Secret is in NO WAY completely right, nor a perfect explaination of GOD's universe and exactly how His natural or spiritual laws work. P.S.

I felt the same way too, but Free Will is what man was given, and unfortunately there is damage done to some by others. However, I've lived long enough now (48 years) to see that God is SO great and amazing, that He 'can cause all things to work together for good to those that love Him..' (Romans 8:28).. and does.

Coincidence? I don't believe so because there were too many things with too many details that had to happen to make it all work. By the way, I believe there is a God (not a genie) who is at work for us. He has natural and spirtual laws at work that are built into the universe. The rain falls on the just and unjust alike, but there are also rewards and consequences built into His universe.
