“why do you think that 1% of the population earns 96% of the money that’s being earned?”

The Secret : It's not those material goods that will make you feel happy and fulfilled in life, now here is how to get those material goods.

I love how this whole cult is basically built on the idea that poor people aren't always imagining how nice it would be to be rich, that sick people don't persistently wish to be well again, etc. The whole premise is moronic.

Yeah, the secret is total baloney. I had one of the followers tell me that I must have wanted to be abused as a child, or it wouldn't have happened to me. It's absolutely ridiculous.

One of my favorite things I've heard that dunks on the law of attraction is, "no, you didn't manifest it, you're just privileged." Because yeah, all of those poor folk from 3rd world countries are just not trying hard enough. I think I heard this from Anna's Analysis.

The worst part about the LOA for me is that people use it to blame people with illnesses. This has been used against me when I am in my wheelchair. People have prayed that whatever “sins” I did, or beliefs I held, would be gone so that I could get out of the chair. What b.s.! To say this to me as I am only in the chair in the cold months really shows how this kind of thing is wrong. This is another reason I left my last church, and it is one reason it is so hard to find any spiritual home. So many beliefs like this have crept into all areas, not just the fringe groups.

You need to do a deep dive video on Oprah's history of promoting quacks.

"The Secret" came out around the same time in my country as "Da Vinci's Code" and, until very recently, I thought it was a similar thriller-through-history-and-art kind of book 😂 Especially because of the cover! 🤦♀️ Glad I didn't buy it though!

It's embarrassing to know I use to believe in the LOA. It's so toxic, had me thinking I deserved any bad that happened to me. In simple terms, depression.

I blame the Secret for perpetuating the old trope of blaming people for their own illnesses, chronic or otherwise. Our society already ignores and has no compassion for those less fortunate in health, wealth, and privilege. We do not need extra reasons to ignore reality

The only way the LOA makes sense to me is that when you focus on something, your brain will subconsciously look for it. And when you eventually find it, it may seem like you manifested it.

“Poor people don’t exist if I don’t look at them!” That’s the mentality of LOA 😂

My ex boyfriend was OBSESSED with this. Its one of the many reasons we broke up. I have multiple chronic illnesses and he'd always blame me by saying I need to change my way of thinking, my diet, and kept sending me links to Dr Sebi stuff that basically advocated for starving yourself. He was insane. The second I hear someone mention the secret I'm running

Hi, your local indigenous person here
Never ever pay for a sweat
Never EVER participate in a sweat with a leader who is inexperienced
NEVER EVER EVER appropriate sweat if you aren't indigenous.
I know that's what you're saying basically, but I want to step in and say yeah absolutely. As soon as I saw that lodge I knew it wasn't gonna be good.

True story: My mom enrolled me in a three-day self-improvement seminar for kids when I was twelve, because I was severely bullied at school, getting bad grades and disobedient toward her. They made us do a bunch of weird exercises like: karate chopping a wooden board with all our flaws written on it; standing still on our tippy toes while Bon Jovi's "It's My Life" was playing on a loop; yelling at us until the whole auditorium started crying, yeah, half of the seminar is emotional exhaustion; they showed this movie as a pivotal part of their teaching; talking about how "circumstances only effect 10% of your outcome, 90% is youf attitude!" Only as I approached my 20s could I finally find the correct name for what that experience was. My mom still has a picture of me in that cult to this day.

As a psychology student, the only thing stopping me from giving Madi a bone crushing hug is a screen. There are so many people in my country who are literally trying to substitute mental health work for this just because they don't want the "crazy" tag. Thank you so much for speaking about this

My father is a firm believer in the law of attraction and The Secret, but never has money and has terrible habits.
So...obviously it doesn’t work.

Dear god, I remember this. My mother was super into this, so she taught it to me, which as you can imagine did alot to a small kid. (I spent like a year straight try to imagine a certain Digimon be real and be my friend, even wrote everything about them down so I could 'visualize' it harder. Also since I was friendless and heavily bullied I would think so hard about people not bullying me and being my friend that I would get headaches and start crying. And when it obviously didn't work I seriously considered suicide at about 8 or 9. So yeah, it was horrid!) Luckily my mother must have realized that that level of positivity was not good and eventually stopped, but it definitely took its toll on my family.

My mum had a lot of friends that were into this book, I'm pretty sure she owned it at one point I remember seeing it floating around the house when I was younger. I don't know if my mum ever even read the book, let alone followed the teachings in it but I know that the book caused my mum and a few of her friends to have a really big falling out. This is a bit of a long story but I think it's pretty interesting how far this mindset can trench into people's minds. So the only reason I really know most of what I do is that the falling out was essentially about me, some background, I'm disabled and have been a wheelchair user since I was 14 years old and that's what they were preaching at me about. My mum went out to lunch with some of her friends and she invited me to come along as I was already out with my friends and she was going to need to meet me to pick me up anyway. So I get to this cafe after all my friends had gone home and I guess she'd never told her friends there that I used a wheelchair so they were visibly taken aback by me. I pull up to the table and they are all pretty silent and I can tell that they want to comment but are holding it in they do this for a while asking me mundane questions about school and friends etc until one of them finally breaks and asks why I'm in a wheelchair and I explain that I have two genetic disabilities that make walking hard for me. For a little bit, they move on from the subject until my mum goes off to the toilet and then one of them leans into me and asks me about treatments I have had and what I've tried (I was 14 so I was not really clued in on this type of stuff) I answer as best I can feeling really uncomfortable now telling them all that I know I'll never walk comfortably again and that I'm okay with it now. This spurs one of the women in the group to say that that mindset is wrong and that if have a totally positive outlook on it that I'll get better, that thinking every day that I'm going to get better will make me better. She starts going on about the book the secret saying that I should read it, this is when my mum comes back. My mum is a doctor so this type of stuff really gets under her skin, she knows the ins and outs of my conditions so having heard a small bit of what these women were saying to me she asks them what the hell were they talking about and they try to pass it off as just helping me. So my mum clearly really mad at this point goes in detail about how telling me all this stuff is just going to give me false hope and that it is more damaging than helpful, see I had only just recently been told that I would almost certainly be in a wheelchair for most of my life and had worked very hard to accept it and here these women telling me that if I just believed hard enough I'd get better. After this incident, my mum saw that group of women a few more times but apparently every time they would bring me up and ask how I was doing and if I had got better and if I had read the Secret or watched the film. My mum cut them off after that.

This video isn’t intended to offend anyone’s beliefs only to point out some scams and problems within the law of attraction movement/following! After my video on the Heal "documentary", a lot of you asked me to look into the Secret, so here it is! Happy New Years Eve-Eve!!
