What’s wrong about “The Law Of Attraction” in the book “The Secret”

What’s wrong with the book “The Secret?”

So many people who would not have even considered talking about “Metaphysics” have read the book “The Secret” and are discussing the Law of Attraction.  They even plan on using it to get better cars, a new bigger house, more money, Travel and romance.  They only got the idea that you make your list of things and say affirmations all day and WHAM all their wishes come to them. 

How the Law of Attraction REALLY Works

The above is not how the Law of Attraction works. Yes, the principle of the Law of Attraction is based on like attracts like.   But you have to be on the same wave length or frequency as what you want.  Everything in the whole universe is made of energy, even things that you think of as being solid.  They just have a different speed or frequency.  When you are on the same frequency as what you want you draw it to you. That is what is meant by the Law of Attraction.

Yes, Thoughts are things.

Everything that was ever invented or made started out as a thought.  Everything has to have been thought about before it was produced. Every piece of furniture, clothing, car, house etc. was in someone’s mind (thought) before it was made.
Because thoughts are a form of energy, they send out a frequency that draws whatever your thoughts are to you.  So if you think drinking coffee at night will keep you awake, it will.

It works the same way, whither you are thinking positive or negative thoughts.  Whatever you focus your attention strongly on will happen. Therefore don’t spend a lot of time thinking you will be late, or lost, (if you are driving in an unfamiliar area) as those things will happen to you.  One good thing is that you must think about a thing more then a passing thought.  It has to be something that you think a lot about, or focus continually on,plus you have to believe that it will come true. So believe plays an important part.  The belief can be conscious or sub-conscious.

What I find left out of “The Secret” is it didn’t talk much about people having to take action.  If you write a list and think about getting all the things you want and do nothing towards talking action to get those things, nothing will manifest.  Most people reading the book thought that by thinking and believing they could get all that they wanted, that it would be enough. but that is not how it works.  YOU MUST TAKE ACTION.  When you take some action, many “coincidences” start to happen.  People come into your life that help you somehow. Maybe they mention a book or say something that gives you ideas to follow to get closer to the manifestation.

Therefore the key to “the Secret” is to have a thought, believe in the idea of the thought and TAKE ACTION
