Psst! 20 Things that Aren’t So Secret. Pass It On!

Since I wrote about what bugs me about The Secret and all the focus on cleansing our lives of negative thinking and negative thoughts, I thought it only fair to offer an alternative. So here are the 20 things I would include in my fantasy book “Psst! It’s Not a Secret!“:

• Be positive – but still allow your thoughts to run wild.
• Be open to people and ideas of all kinds.
• Don’t be afraid of negative thoughts. “The earth is not flat” was once one of those.
• Love yourself as you are.
• Let your voice be heard, but also listen well to others.

A Little Secret About The Secret (and the Law of Attraction)

Read this and see how it makes you feel:

Negative thoughts are destroying our way of life and if we don’t do something about them, we will be overcome by what they do to us! Luckily we have the power to say no to negative thoughts. We have the power to fight against negative thoughts. We have the power to banish negative thoughts from our lives. We just won’t allow them near us. We just won’t allow ourselves to associate with them. And wherever we see them, we will work to eliminate them. For once these negative thoughts are gone, our lives will be everything we ever dreamed.

Now substitute the word “Jews” or “Muslims” or “Christians” or “Blacks” or “Immigrants” or simply “people who don’t agree with me” for the words “negative thoughts”.

Despite its beautiful wrapping paper, the whole Law of Attraction (LOA) thing, at least as some people practice it, is based on a similar kind of thinking. We found an enemy (negative thoughts in this case). If we eliminate this enemy, all will be well. It’s the same underpinnings, just with a pretty bow. And ironically…it’s a negative way of looking at the world!
