Bobby, Now if only we could find a way to brainwash the negative people with all that positivity… heheh. Just kidding. We need them for balance, right?

You’re right Melissa, positivity is something the world needs and whichever way a person learns it is a good thing. I personally place more emphasis on neutral or in the middle thinking ala Zen, but at one time all I knew was negativity. Like my friend Morgan said in the above comment, the LOA really helped her find positivity, so I concur your sentiment wholeheartedly. Here’s to positivity!

Bobby, it’s a great post and perfect for sparking some good conversation. Yes, it’s important that people study history and philosophy but I would actually categorize some of the material in The Secret as philosophy. Positive thinking is not to be underestimated and I don’t think we can have enough reminders, tools, or techniques in the world to help masses of people achieve an overall positive attitude, even in the face of dismal circumstances. I’m all about promoting a positive attitude. Do that, and the rest will follow.

Hi Melissa,

I wish people were more interested in history and philosophy rather than learning about positive thought and life from films like The Secret, but I don’t control the world or how other people think. And you’re correct—however a person can achieve positivity or self-belief is good. Generally speaking, I know most people don’t buy into people channeling gods and instead take away the techniques. By the way, this post was written a long time ago while I was depressed and I published it as filler because I’ve been working 70 hours per week (which is why I haven’t visited any blogs lately). I hope to have some free time soon:)

To answer your questions: Yes, no, and it depends.

It’s true that the law of attraction is as ancient as the hills. But it’s also true that people have forgotten what the ancients knew. So, I think it was good that The Secret came out and reminded everyone about positive thinking, gratitude, and all that other stuff. There are many paths to the top of the mountain and now there is just another way to get there.

Hi Kate! Well, I coach my own life but maybe I should hire a pro so I can progress even more . . . who knows. I suppose people can believe in whatever they want. Sometimes I wish I had never read a history book so I could live a life of fantasy and bliss lol:)

What a discussion! First, I do believe in LoA and a lot of things in my life has come from it. It’s all about positive thinking and not remaining in a negative state. Second, Ester Hicks chaneling Abraham was just too weird for me to take. And I do have a lifecoach. She’s my friend, doing this without pay and we’re about to start our lifecoaching sessions. I don’t have any ideas on what’s it about really but would just like to dive in and experience it firsthand. But I’m not ready for deathcoaching yet.

I’m a major fan of mythology. This whole death and resurrection concept has been around for ages –The Legend of the Fisher King. The reason why they decided Jesus’ birthday to be on Dec 25th was it was a Sun God’s birthday. The Virgin Birth stemmed from other myths about the immaculate conception from Athena springing from Zeus’ head to to the wine god Dionysus. Most religions have this ‘savior’ figure. It’s the collective consciousness that we humans want to be saved.

Haha…I saw that Ron White joke! I must have been a real nerd growing up because me and my friends used to watch televangelist Robert Tilton for fun, we thought it was the funniest thing on earth.

I’ll say this, Obama is a master bullshitter—as are most politicians—and like Ron Paul said has the exact same foreign policy as Bush. He’s screwing up big time with his troop elevation in Afghanistan . . . it’s only going to propagate another war. I dislike Obama’s actions as much as I did Bush’s and like you said they are cousins.

Hi Bobby!

What channel is the god Bahghu Mahgufu on so I can switch the channel?
This reminds me of Ron White’s joke:

“Ron White: I was flipping through the television, and I saw Robert Tilton, he’s a televanglist from Dallas, and he said this: He said, ‘Are you lonely?’ [Ron shrugs]
Ron White: …Yeah. He said, “Have you wasted half your life in bars, pursuing sins of the flesh?” [Ron takes drink of scotch]
Ron White: This guy’s good! “Are you sitting in a bean bag chair, naked, eating Cheetos!”
Ron White: [Ron dead stops, face frozen] *Yes, sir!* “Do you feel the urge to get up and send me a thousand dollars?” Close! I thought he was talking about me there for a second.”

Belief without evidence is a powerful force… without the facts, both positive and negative thinking can drive anyone to do strange things.

Oh Enlightened One, Bobby Obi-Wan Kenobi, can U tell us where Obama fits on the Law of Attraction scale… is his power greater than or less than L. Ron Hubbard or the current Solar Messiah or Ester Hicks, etc. ?

May the M-force be with you!
