    Sorry, I digress...... you were saying?

    Sorry, couldn't resist.

    All points mentioned thus far are long held beliefs for me, with a large dollop of karma thrown in for good measure...

    Damn!

    I guess free love won't pay the bills huh?

    Ok, I'll throw another $20 in the kitty but I must protest this slavery to such an outdated means of exchange!

    It's okay, I'm not sentient, not this time of night, anyway! It's half past bedtime here in England, (12.30AM).

    What other thread is that then?

    Put it this way, I got to bed at 3.40am this morning, after my two cents worth!

    Someone else must have read it too, looking at the monthly total.

    Hopefully not a complete waste of everyone's time then!

    Haven't seen The Secret, but I'd suggest the book The Power of Now. If more people read it and gained a better idea of what it was to be self-aware, all the BS like in that other thread would never happen in the first place.

    Looks a good book. Yet another one I won't have time to read. That reminds me; I have DMT, the Spirit Molecule somewhere around here. Anyone read it?

    Most of The Power of Now is free to browse here;

    http://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/034073350...der_0340733500

    OMG! Portals! Ordering it now, along with The Secret Dvd. Probably both in my Amazon wishlist already. Wish I could buy time while I'm at it.

    In a manner of speaking, you would be buying time with this one.

    It's in the mail.

    Also, I watched The Secret yesterday on Dvd and guess who's in it?

    Neale Donald Walsch, author of Conversations With God. It was made 5 years ago btw. It's like all these visionaries have been brought together to tell us something......

    Also just had my VX exhaust replaced on Saturday and while I was walking around town killing 3 hours, I entered a book shop and immediately focussed straight on Stephen Hawking's new one, The Grand Design. I wanted to know what 'M Theory' was about so it was only a matter of time, I guess.

    I'm quite conscious of the process now, by which thoughts manifest into synchronistic events, which is the basic message of The Secret. What's the worst that can happen; you think you won't gain anything from it and think it was a waste of time and/or money?

    On the other hand..........what if it's true?

    Are you asking me specifically or was that directed at everyone in general? With subjects like this, I personally think it's more than a matter of simply reading or viewing something, it's a person actually being open to what they are reading or viewing.

    Since this thread was originally about The Secret, it reminded me of one person in particular (on another message board) who also brought up the book awhile back. She went on and on about how great the book was, how much it had impacted her personally, and how she felt it had changed her life on so many different levels, but afterwards, when discussing other topics related to the message board topic itself, she continued to display the same petty and self-centered tendencies that she'd become well known for before ever reading The Secret. Like it's sometimes said, it's one thing to know the path, it's another thing to walk the path.
