It’s bullshit! It’s true, but bullshit. How can I habitually visualize a positive reality for myself if all there are are bars and chains? How can the circus elephant realize that the ropes aren’t as strong as the chains? A burst of uncontrolled anger. But that’s not logical nor favorable. Breaking mental chains will put me in physical chains.
I’ve tried to logically reason myself into a better reality. It seems that logic is different in other realities. Maybe I’m stuck in this one because I’m using this reality’s logic, rather than the logic of the reality of which I seek.
It’s somewhat disturbing to realize that I can say what’s on my mind and know that other people may think the same. I don’t know if this place is a blessing or a trap. But it’s here and I’m here, so maybe it’s for a reason.

I’m vaguely familiar with the concept – Our thoughts determine our lives. I believe there is truth to that concept, however, we must first be realistic about our outlooks on life in attempting to “think/rationalize” our lives into reality. A pessimist, such as myself, is going to find it very challenging to “think” that wonderful life promised by The Secret into reality. An optimist, I’m assuming, will find it easier to be handed a plate full of poo and appreciate that it was once a gourmet meal. (Sorry for that.) So, I pick out the good among my bits of reality and appreciate them, while wanting every day to be run over by a truck, because my outlook only stretches so far.
Just to share with you. When I joined this site I couldn’t believe it. There were others who felt exactly the same as me. For the first time in 2+ years I actually started doing better. Okay, only for a week or two, but that doesn’t matter, it was because I wasn’t alone. Others felt the same way. And for the first time, I felt understood.
Yeah, the ‘secret’…. That philosophy only depresses me. Basically, ‘your life is shit because you aren’t thinking right, therefore, anything that happens to you, is your own fault’. And that’s supposed to help how exactly??!
Anyway, I’m glad you posted 🙂
I know what the secret is, but I can’t say because it’s a secret. You can’t share secrets, or else they’re just gossip and not secrets at all.
I will say that the secret is furry and has sharp claws and little needle-like teeth. And it’s not a marmot. But it is cute.
I have that opinion about secrets too 🙂
The secret has be criticized, for example, you can look at third world countries. MMMmmhh, guess those children in Africa don’t want that food badly enough. On the other hand, these countries’ governments and beliefs are corrupted, and that’s why they’re in the mess they are now.
Good point.
I would definitely tell you whether or not I am familiar with the Secret, but that in and of itself is a secret. Secrets within secrets.
(PS: Totally agree with the OP)
There was a YouTube post about tapping into parallel universes. The title intrigued me so I watched. It basically just restated the “secret”, but with a scifi attraction. Positive persistent visualization and divergent decision making; visualize the reality you’d like to exist in and then make the decisions that that version of yourself would make. Eventually you will sync with that version.
The true nature of this world is far more unbelievable than any work of “fiction”. It just sucks how we’re conditioned to believe that the world has to make sense. History is told by the victors.
Conspiracies are called conspiracies by the people who don’t want you to think that they are true. I believe that most if not all of us are under some sort of controlling influence. Depression, suicidal thoughts, disassociation, and the like are probably how it affects us. Being sheep is how others are affected.
This place reminds me of Socrates
I can’t get past that you can spell “parallel”.
He must be a witch. Burn him!
LOL! Boil that dust speck!
