Re: The Secret

I know you asked mh and not me but I will stick my 2 cents in here anyway.

I doubt that positive thinking can hurt... even the buddha gave instructions on how to take a negative, destructive thought and change it to the opposite. It isn't so very easy though. The whole purpose of a meditation prctice is to help get you in touch with how wildly out of control our minds are and most who have been doing it for many years will admit that they have hardly gotten it totally under control.

But the book and film on The Secret? hmmmmm seems like a good way for some people to make a pretty easy buck telling you they have "the secret" to sell you - and when I once went on their forum it seemed that most everyone had some pyramid scheme they were pushing LOL

I will stick with the buddha's instruction from the Pali Canon.

That's my 2 cents

awebaby

P.S. oooops! didn't know there was a secret forum on the curezone - I was NOT referring to that when I mentioned forums up above - I was talking about ones that were connected to The Secret web site. I think a good support group here on curezone looks like a great thing to explore! Tweet
