Interesting. It came out in 2006, I wonder if it was trying to compete with The Da Vinci Code or what.

The movies both came out in 2006. They both do the "mystery" thing where they act like what they have to say is special and never heard of before, a conspiracy against regular people learning it, etc. Do you know about the background of The Secret, the religious group it's associated with?

it does not accociate with any religious group but more with people who are successful, who are useing it.

it`s just the simple low of attraction that this universe reacts to all of your thoughts and YOU and IT carry that out....

and by the way they DO MENTION that this "secret" has been taught and told many times b4........

It's allied with the Unity School of "Christianity":

http://www.unityonline.org/index.htm

Check out what they say about the book:
http://shop.unityonline.org/index.as...ROD&ProdID=231

The "Attraction" teaching has been around since the 1800s, it's part of the "New Thought" Movement, a larger movement which includes Unity.

It's an interesting thought, but not to me as represented in this fashion.

Yes Perna. it is about the low of attraction.

Nowhereturn..i don`t know...to me at least...Davinci`s code is just a novel based of somethign that is either fact or not fact. i mean- maybe parts of it were facts but parts not.

LOA is more about the,,,,things you watn. what you give you attentions to - THIS what you will have..most chances.

Well, it ended up in the self help forum anyway RECOMMENDED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I think it belongs in the spirituality forum, but even so, the Davinci code is fiction and hogwash when it comes to God, imo.

Take what you can use and leave the rest RECOMMENDED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I enjoyed the movie..............gave me alot to think about. The book the secret, even more to think about. Which I think IMHO is what god wants us to do. Think and be kind to others, just my 2 cents. I could be wrong too.
