Because of the huge interest in "The Secret", I have opened up a website designed to demystify the teaching. There are downloadable articles, which will be added to over the next few weeks. If your looking for a critique of this phenomenon please visit:

Thanks for this article. Whenever I think I am alone, I never am.
Oprah touting The Secret is nothing more than televangelism. My studies have shown me that when an egomaniac reaches satisfying monetary wealth, their next goal is mega power. Mega power that is melded with spirituality is even sweeter. Nothing is more gratifying than being the leader of a mega church. This is Oprah's dream.
Oprah's contradictions are many and difficult to follow. One show is about "we worship our stuff" and the next show is about "how to get more stuff."
Beckwith's cult is all about accessing the power to "get what we want." It is devoid of human interaction. We get what we want by hyperfocusing on "stuff."
Now people are showing "The Secret" to their children. To gratify oneself by ignoring all things that are visually incorrect. To imagine we have big fat bankrolls when we are one week away from homelessness.
There is one passage in the book about losing weight by not looking at fat people. Well, the headmistress of The Secret is starting to pack on the pounds again. WHOOPS. Can you hear it now "Ellen, I need to talk to you about taking over one of my segments."
Why does it have to be packaged. Why can't she have a weekly guest talking about common sense or positive thinking. Why does it have to be a secret? Because it makes more money for Oprah, Beckwith and the rest of the shameless cult.
The danger? When the followers start committing suicide because their vision doesn't materialize. WAIT!!! This could be a sequel dvd/book. The Deeper Secret.
Well, I have to go to work. The $5 million that I visualized is not in my account.
