Well, this was just supposed to be an mspaint post making fun of people who buy into "The Secret" and all the feel good Manifestation stuff instead of actively taking control and responsibility for their lives...
But it grew by epic proportions and went off into a financial tangent.
Anyway I know present a Locklsy almost weekend special: The Secret
(incidentally the people who produced the latest version of The Secret (as featured on Oprah) never paid the original IP and rights holder for the right to produce and distribute their version, also about half of the so called experts featured in the 'documentary' have since been discredited.

Bravo locksly, for calling out this shit. There seems to be some kind of weird uprising of conspiracy theories and Scientologists - almost a second New Age :P
Even religious people are better than this, they believe in something mainstream, not shit made up by a bunch of people. The only reason the "Secret" kinda works is that if you motivate yourself and believe in yourself, you'll try harder to accomplish goals.

I've never heard of this secret before now.
You just pissed off a lot of French aristocrats and Jewish bankers by letting this out.
And people really believe this?
Idiocracy: it's not gonna take 500 years.

Have you actually read the book?
If not, do. It's great for the entertainment value.

I read it and watched it, its like they took out all the important lessons from Think and Grow Rich and dumbed it down so Oprah's audience could understand it

Id have people who actually bought into this kind of bullshit fucking irradiated in the crotch, chainganged and sent to do all the shitty jobs no one else wants to do eg look after our parents in their old age.
Mind you, Id have that done to probably about 70-80% of the population for a variety of reasons, most of which can be boild down to "Dont be so fucking stupid, for fucks sake"

God I hate new age/spiritual/"it's all in your head" bullshit. I'm very conservative and closeminded in my own little atheistic radical left-libertarian way.

I think I actually learned something about what's going on with our economy, in greater detail than I had gotten from reading newspapers and watching television news networks try and fail to explain it.
Thank you Stok.

I couldn't be bothered to read this because I was thrown off my the blazing gay rays that blasted me like 40 x 5 queer locksly's for a straight Sico as soon as I clicked on this post even though I knew you had Andre the Giant's cock in your ass because you are so gay that you emit gay rays that blast people like 40 x 5 queer locksly's for a straight Sico. You are no less than 32,489,281,494,745 shades of gay and that's not counting last night's encounter with Richard Simmons. Basically, you are gay.

Wiki:
* Critics of The Secret, and even some fans, are bothered by its obsession with using ancient wisdom to acquire material goods. — Time magazine[33]
* ...the whole idea that any of this is a "secret" is widely considered a joke. — New York Post[37]
* To some this seems laughable, like the Tooth Fairy or Ouija boards. To others it's downright offensive — where does God fit into this DIY [do-it-yourself] existence? — Beliefnet[7]

From Wiki:
David Schirmer (OF THE SECRET) is a wealth coach, entrepreneur and private share investor and trader,
David Schirmer's business activities are currently under investigation by the Australian Securities Investment Commission (ASIC). This was reported on 1 June 2007 by A Current Affair in a segment titled "The Secret Con"[1] with those words and the logo from the film The Secret appearing in the background behind the newscaster. The show initially confronted Schirmer in a segment titled "The Secret Exposed", aired on 28 May 2007, with complaints from people who say Schirmer owed them money.[2]
