The Secret

There is a trend in L.A. that “spiritual” people will mention to you if you ask them;

-Have you seen anything good lately?
-Yes, it's called The Secret. It was on Oprah. You have to see it! It's this amazing documentary about the power of attraction...like did you know that when you put pictures on your walls of a lonely woman or man, you will stay single...I soooo have to change my posters!

So what is this big Secret? What is the power of attraction about? Just positive thinking, that's about it. I watched the "documentary" and I have to admit there were some interesting theories (like making a vision board about your goals...it's always a good thing to clarify from time to time). But I felt a certain uneasiness about it. In my opinion the "documentary" portrayed a "consumeristic" spirituality. By a consumeristic spirituality I mean using psychological processes labeled as "spiritual" to obtain, for example, a nice car, a sexy partner, a big house etc...
There is also some false advertising about a conspiracy being revealed here (the secret that was kept away from the masses) ...but it is no secret that by thinking positively, positive things will come to you. I was happy to read an article last week in the National Post by Dave Mcginn that was mentioning this. If you are interested in watching "The Secret”;
