law of attraction

New York Times bestselling channeler Esther Hicks writes New Age books that offer processes to help people heal their bodies from any ailment (including AIDs and cancer). Alas, these processes did not seem to do Esther's husband Jerry much good when he died of leukemia on November 18th of this...

I’m writing a blog on the alleged channeler Esther Hicks. I have found some great audio, video, and transcript bits that work against her claim of channeling, but I’m trying to compile more information as evidence of her and her husband’s deception. The blog is primarily geared to those who are...

In March of 2010, Baen Books, one of my favorite Science Fiction publishers is going to release a book entitled 'The Science Behind the Secret' by one Travis Taylor. I had been waiting for the sample chapters to come up to see if this was going to some of spoof. They are now up it would seem...

http://news.ninemsn.com.au/world/874221/authorities-probe-us-sweat-lodge-deaths Now what part of "The Law of Attraction" covers this?

A friend just sent me an e-mail announcing this. I found this on MovieTmes.com: Beyond The Secret "Fathom and Anthem Pictures present "Beyond the Secret," a one-night event in select movie theatres nationwide on Thursday, Jan. 15. Hosted by Larry King, this Fathom exclusive kicks off the long...

I have a few relatives that believe that "The Secret" (Law of attraction) works. I don't think it works. So, all parties involved in the debate are currently heavily biased. So what I'd like to do is come up with a simple unbiased scientific test for them to try to see if it works or not...

Hi guys. Hope you're ready to get beat down by the Woo-Master! :D Last time I was here, I was discussing pendulums with you, and I do still work with them, but I was running into roadblocks here and there. Fortunately, the law of attraction (hereafter referred to as LOA), is helping me...

Hey there I would love to see an episode on the ever so popular "Law of Attraction" / "The Secret". Of all the great pseudo-scientific funnies out there, this one seems to be the most hip. I think its rather clear that setting your mind to a goal can increase the chances that it comes about...

Can we all...please...collectively urinate-on/mock/denounce this pile of garbage? I mean...I know people are dumb and prone to wishful thinking, but at least in the past I could delude myself into believing most delusions survived because they had been around for a long time, leading people to...

The deludenoids who post on The Secret forum are starting to worry me. In addition to the woos, it appears that the The Secret has created a haven where all manner of reality challenged people can reinforce their mutual bizarre perceptions. I find posts like this one chilling: Mind...

Ok, so many of you might not appreciate me going on about the situation in Norway because you might consider our country's population a bit too insignificant to be of any newsworthy importance, but regardless of a country's population, any spreading and endorsing of "The secret" in a developed...

The whackjobs over at "The Secret" forum are discussing the Million Dollar Challange. :rolleyes: To which one of the them replied: :boggled:It's like one huge newage circle jerk over there.

Hi gang, On "The secret" web site appears the biographies of the participants of the DVD. One of them is a physicist called Dr. John Hagelin which is: "...regarded by many as one of the greatest scientists on the planet today." http://www.thesecret.tv/teachers.html Has anyone heard of him...

http://apnews.excite.com/article/20070623/D8PUMA380.html Nice to see skeptical points of view.

Interesting news connected to, "The Secret to You" nonsense that is currently the rage in new age idiot groups. Search youtube and the name "David Schirmer" to find an Australian news show running an expose on Schirmer and his activities. In case you don't know, Schirmer is titled a "teacher"...

http://www.slate.com/id/2165746/nav/tap1/ good article in slate on the secret.

I saw this mentioned on some blog about The Secret/LOA. http://www.releasetechnique.com/icap/index.htm As far as I can tell these people are serious.

Apparently, the people behind "The Secret" didn't reveal everything about the Law of Attraction. So Joe Vitale has bought out the Missing Secret they kept from the suckers who bought the DVD.

Check it out. :) http://uncyclopedia.org/wiki/The_Secret

The other day I was talking about a co-worker about 'The Secret', while he agreed it was nonsense somehow the argument turned to "but thinking positively can help recover faster" I remembered reading a scientific article a few weeks (months) ago, which came to the conclusion that as long as...

Self-Help's Slimy "Secret" (You might need to register. If you'd rather not and still want to read the article, PM me.)

http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2007/04/06/AR2007040601819.html?hpid=opinionsbox2 Self-Help's Slimy Secret I like the subtitle, Dept. of Snake Oil.... After mocking the absurd quasi-scientific pretensions of the book, the columnist argues that it's more than just...

We've all seen those ridiculous little self-help books while waiting in line at the supermarket. They all promise to help you lose weight, feel better, increase your vocabulary, quit smoking and so on. They rarely make a real difference in anyone's life and their rarely require any deep...

Hey folks, I've noticed a couple things on TV lately that just make me happy: is it me, or does it seem that comedy writers are really against The Secret? Okay, I've only seen it mentioned on two shows: Best Week Ever (a weekly entertainment news wrapup), and Saturday Night Live last night. On...

Apparently America's finest news source gets it: http://www.theonion.com/content/infograph/the_secret

Two or three people on Craig Ferguson's imdb page are fuming over some jokes he reportedly made about The Secret. Anyone have a video of it?

Yep. If you believe it, you can make it happen! Control the world around you, control others, with your MIND! If you want it, you can make it happen! Oprah loves this. Are we ready for this "science"? I mean, the "what the bleep" movie was just the tip of the iceberg. This "science" will now...

I just love these things... I wonder if anyone ever did a "formula of a scam" piece. Basically, a good scam works by taking a grain of truth and then spinning it around and sprinkling it in woo woo dust. In this example, the grain of truth is, that "if you're a positive person, more positive...
