Essentially, it says that 1) we are all energy and 2) we get what we put out. So if you are constantly thinking negatively, you are only going to get negative back. It’s called the Law of Attraction and you can read more about it here. You may have seen it talked about on Oprah, but I swear to you, I saw it before the trendsetter for middle of the road America mentioned anything. Anyway, I got really excited at the idea of being able to control my life positively. I decided to do some of the things they talk about it the movie, one of them being to visualize what I want in my life. I wanted to make a visualization board but I couldn’t find one of those fancy real estate magazines to cut out my fantasy house, so I visualized having one. Friday night, TBU and I had nothing to do and we didn’t want to spend any money, I visualized us going out and having a good time for free. I have also been visualizing having more money, because dar. This is where it gets interesting, on Friday night, TBU and I took a walk and as we came back to our place what was sitting on our mailbox? A fancy shmancy real estate magazine. Ok, that was pretty cool but they are kinda everywhere and they’re free so that wasn’t so hard for the universe to provide. We were still bored with nothing to do. Then right as I got out of the shower at 8:30pm our friends called with extra tickets to a concert AND they bought us dinner. Ummmm, wow. Dinner and concert for free? Well played universe. While at the concert our friend ask me to start a business with her. Even though the money hasn’t actually manifested yet, I am really excited. All of this led me to start saying, “If you can visualize it, you can millionize it.<BR/>Monica<BR/>Ottawa, CanadaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6449703348150728166.post-8749302716671368632008-02-10T22:56:00.000-08:002008-02-10T22:56:00.000-08:00Brendin watched ‘The Secret’ with me and loved it. After watching it he wrote two pages of what he is thankful for.

You see, I was taught the Law of Attraction (thoughts held in mind produce after their kind) growing up. When I saw that post I was exuberant that someone else, not from my family or church (a normal person), got wind of it and was telling the world about it. So, as news of the Secret spread on the Internet, and now in the real world through Larry King and Oprah, I’ve reserved judgement about the presentation. Until now.<BR/>Susan<BR/>Austin,TexasAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6449703348150728166.post-20231418180644521892008-02-10T22:53:00.000-08:002008-02-10T22:53:00.000-08:00Hey Simon The writer of “A Little Weird” and I have both been working with the law of attraction and the lottery. Were both experiencing the same frustrations which I find very interesting. Neither one of us really won that much in the lottery when we played before we discovered and began to consciously work with the law of attraction. He and i both noticed that after we started to work with it we started winning small amounts in the lottery every time we played. Every single time bear and i buy tickets we win at least 2 dollars. Bear has better luck on scratchers. He will buy a 1 dollar one and win 2 dollars. He will use that 2 dollar won and buy another one and win 5 dollars. Then use that money to buy another one and win more money. He can stand there and do this 5 or 10 times before he finally gets a loosing one and stops. And this is not a one time incident either, this sort of thing happens a lot. There have been times when we have a few of the numbers on the same row and all of the other numbers will be off by 1 digit. Those are really frustrating.<BR/><BR/>Richard <BR/>BrusselsAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6449703348150728166.post-14343092280675521232008-02-10T22:52:00.000-08:002008-02-10T22:52:00.000-08:00Let’s face it, I could use ‘God’s Will’ as an excuse for any action, or an indictment against God for not stopping terrible things from happening. Simon discusses some of the contradictions that can occur when the Law of Attraction is applied to objective reality and the same is true for God’s Will. Things like conflicting intentions, abuse, and relational issues where outcomes depend on the actions of others become an issue. We need to be capable of making sense of reality without compromising our faith. This can be a stumbling block for some people.<BR/><BR/>Tyrel<BR/>Boston,MassachussetsAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6449703348150728166.post-6516800302108093732008-02-10T22:51:00.000-08:002008-02-10T22:51:00.000-08:00The way you see the world matters. Some people would go even further and say we create the world as we see it. If you look at a situation as a bunch of problems to be solved, that’s what you’ll see — problems. But if you start to see the good in that situation, if you start to see what’s great about it, and what good things that situation brings about, what do you see? You see opportunities. No matter how bad a situation is, there is something positive. Even the most impoverished, violent, drug-ridden housing project has something good in it. Maybe it’s generosity. Maybe it’s great, loving children. Maybe the drug dealers are great business men. Start looking for it and you will find it.<BR/><BR/>Todd Meyhew<BR/>Los AngelesAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6449703348150728166.post-81679805819499550702008-02-10T22:50:00.000-08:002008-02-10T22:50:00.000-08:00You are a great writer Simon.I was immediately reminded of Danile Kiyosaki, who has written many articles about The Law of Attraction and Intention Manifestation.
