Londonwriter, I am pretty sure you know exactly what to think of concepts like God and "the law of attraction" and feel free to give your opinion about it.
We will all respect you for it.
You might however have noticed that a lot of people felt the need to react to your post, and this has nothing to do with your opinion.
It purely has to do with how you seem to feel better by attacking other people, or in this case Susi_gal and onetwothree.
It is not nessacary and uncalled for.
Please try to meditate for 30 minutes BEFORE you post next time. You might not believe in Karma, but you will have to agree that your actions only created more hostility, and had you given your opinion without the sarcasm, we would have reacted less defending and a more pleasant atmosphere would have been created.
Please don't think I am slashing at you, I am merely hoping to see a different side of you next time.
back on topic:
I do think that "the Secret" is a bit too materialistic.
The concept itself is not invented by the developers of the movie, but poorly translated from those that have worked with this concept before.
The secret works for you, but you can also make it work for others, and I think the movie "the Secret" might have concentrated a bit more on that.
The idea that everybody who has bad things happen to themselves, even things like cancer or whatever has done this themselves to me is something I refuse to believe.
God deals the cards, we just have to play them.
Bad things happen to people randomly, what makes some people remarkable is how they deal with it.
However that's just how I think of it, maybe others feel different, that's cool too
