I guess that says a lot about that doctrine! Thanks for the info. So it’s the positive confession/faith doctrine without the trappings of Christianity. I guess that says a lot about that doctrine!

THE SECRET is a philosophy taught by folks that contents one will have in their life the product of their thoughts. If you think good thoughts and believe fully, they will come your way. Good thoughts...good things. Bad thoughts....bad things. (Though note above they back off of their statement that this works 100% of the time when it comes to disasters and other calamities.) So, if I want to add 100 new readers to my blog today...I just believe it, think it, and it happens. Just like that. And, if it does not happen, it was because I was not positive enough or had doubt. What is true is that if you have your desires and goals before you regularly...you think about the often...you are more likely to achieve them. But, I don't think the universe is wired in such a way that just thinking about them positively and with confidence makes them happen. When goals and dreams are before you...you work on them! Thanks for the question.
