"The Secret" Spillover

I'm not going to obsess over The Secret.

Not that I have better things to do -- it's night-time in Colorado Springs, so I don't. However, a stunning piece of work such as this cannot be done justice in one post, so I thought I'd highlight some choice... epigrams... from the self-help sensation that I failed to incorporate the other day:

(all are as contributed by its "teachers" on the audiobook)

Bob Proctor: "Most people have a goal of getting out of debt. That'll keep you in debt forever" (Disc 3, Track 4).

Rhonda Byrne: "The game I created to shift my feelings about my pile of bills, was to pretend the bills were actually checks. I would jump for joy as I would open up the mail and say 'More money for me! Thank you! Thank you!'" (Disc 3, Track 5)

David Schirmer: "So I got a bank statement. I whited out the total, and I put a new total in there. I put exactly what I wanted to see in the bank" (Disc 3, Track 5).

Rhonda Byrne: "The first thing to know is that if you focus on losing weight, you will attract back having to lose more weight. So get having to lose weight out of your mind. It's the very reason why diets don't work. Because you are focused on losing weight, you must attract back continually having to lose weight..."

"... If someone is overweight, it came from thinking 'fat' thoughts." (Disc 2, Track 8)

Bob Proctor: "If you have a disease, and you're focusing on it, and you're talking to people about it, you're going to create more disease cells" (Disc 3, Track 18).

Dr. John DeMartini: "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" (Disc 3, Track 16).
