was spent watching



Here I am sitting at home a little on the ill side and I decide to download the secret because I was bored. Seems as though my fever bringing out the worst out in me. What was I thinking. Freakin' modern day pop psychology. This is "the self-help book/DVD to end all self-help books/DVDs"

Each word, each sentence, each "profound" announcement of the various stages of the secret made me want to projectile vomit. Oh and the panel of so-called experts with big titles and letters before and after their names are a bunch of snake oil peddlers. One guy (Joe Vitale) has the title of Dr. followed by "MSC.D. Metaphysician". WTF is that? I just wanted to slap that guy. Just for his prentious title and the way he dressed. Perhaps if I visual that it will happen. The laws of attraction. 1. Ask that he be slapped, 2. The universe answers by slapping and finally 3. receive the blessing of him being slapped. Holy Crap. Mr. Joe Vitale is simply a marketing person who teaches this so-called secret yet he dresses like a priest with a rosary around his neck and IMO is a tad condenscending. God damn hippies.

Next person on the panel of experts is a guy by the name of Dr. John F Demartini D.C Bsc. Philospher. Can I ask you something? How the hell did he get the same letters as Washington in his name. What does D.C stand for? More importantly, who is this guy?

All together we have a bunch of metaphysicians, philosophers, psychologists, quantum physicists, visionaries, therapists sugar coating some pretty straight forward life skills as some sort of secret hidden away from us for eternity. Oh my god! This book/DVD is on the best sellers list as well telling society sure has it's fair share of gullible people in it. Hopeless, gullible, idealistic victims. Meh! Somebody kill me

That's enough from me I'm gonna dry reach. The only thing that can stop the dry reaching over this sugary sweet fluffed up version of life is perhaps a "Saw" marathon followed by the texas chainsaw massage and then 2 girls 1 cup.

bwahahahaha I can just imagine the look on your face when you realized what you had gotten yourself into.

The Slate review: What happened when I followed the best-selling book's advice for two months described it as "pernicious drivel", a wonderful phrase that I must attempt to slip into more conversations.

And from Scientific American:

A pantheon of shiny, happy people assures viewers that The Secret is grounded in science: "It has been proven scientifically that a positive thought is hundreds of times more powerful than a negative thought." No, it hasn't. "Our physiology creates disease to give us feedback, to let us know we have an imbalanced perspective, and we're not loving and we're not grateful." Those ungrateful cancer patients. "You've got enough power in your body to illuminate a whole city for nearly a week." Sure, if you convert your body's hydrogen into energy through nuclear fusion. "Thoughts are sending out that magnetic signal that is drawing the parallel back to you." But in magnets, opposites attract--positive is attracted to negative.

rolf! (like really!)

glad it wasn't really the worst 90 minutes of your life--but then after reading, I totally empathize a friend sent me that movie like half a year ago, and she just loved it, I um.. well... not very close with her anymore

It's truly amazing how much time people spend on self-help books/videos/talks instead of actually doing anything to help themselves.

And, yeah, I would rather take a beating than listen or watch anything doing with "The Secret".

Geez, if you get what you visualize most, 90% of the men in the world would end up with huge breasts.
