JThen go to youtube and type 'LOA' or 'The Secret' or something like that and you'll see the not-so-very affluent 'experts' I'm talking about. This whole phenomenon is turning into a joke, and it's a shame, because it might very well end up with NOBODY taking this seriously after a while.



I thought I should address this. I don't do much YouTubing, but I see nothing wrong with people using it to talk about their ideas, whether it's about The Secret or something else. The truly good thing is that people ARE talking about it, and they're curious about it. I don't know about the rest of the world, but I think these ideas can only in the US, where negative thinking as become something of a fine art.

As you said, these are not new ideas, but they've been buried among the dogma of our holy books, lost in the dust of old books from the late 1800s and early 1900s. The nice thing about The Secret is that it pulled a lot of this together in one place, making it easy to see and understand.
