It says nothing, nothing, nothing about "action". It's all about thinking and the universe providing. "It's you placing your order with the universe. It's really that easy."


the secret 47m.08sec

"When you have inspired thought
you have to trust it
and you have to ACT on it."

Still sure "It says nothing, nothing, nothing about action"?


The video I reference is only 10 minutes. There is no 47 minute mark. Sorry. Try again.

In any regard, nothing I've seen or read leads me to believe The Secret, which is based on (barf) The Law of Attraction, that you have to do anything other than think really really hard about what you want and the universe will align itself with your desire. Yeah, you might actually have to get off your fat ass to get the rainbow farting pony when it's lorried to your door.

There is nothing in it that offers advice based on reality, which involves real action. Think about the problems in your life, take concrete steps to change them. Want to be rich? Study hard, work hard. Want a BMX bike? Get a paper route.

The Secret is total crap and anyone that believes it has a bigger problem than wanting a BMX bike.

It seems there's been a little mix up - a rainbow farting pony was just delivered to my front door, but I didn't order one. I don't know, some bad thoughts must have caused a short in the system.

I do have an order in for a Gay Marriage Law, though, so if anyone got one of those that you didn't ask for, PM me. I've got your pony. (Though it turns out you have to put food coloring in its water trough to get the rainbow farts.)
