Thread: The Secret and Lucid Dreaming

Has anyone else noticed how similar the basic principles are?

"The Secret teaches us that we create our lives, with every thought every minute of every day."
"You are a magnet attracting to you all things, via the signal you are emitting through your thoughts and feelings."

Think about these two quotes, they can be applied to Lucid dreaming, and apparently to your waking life aswell.

I follow the secret myself, mostly cause it keeps me thinking positive (to attract positive things). The more you read through it the more links you can see between the two. Possibly it was created from the lucid dreaming concept...

I've never heard of the Secret, to be honest. They sure appear similar when put that way, though!

The Secret is BS.

Learn CBT. It'll do you more good and has science to back it up.

I follow the secret as well, and yes, I would say that dream control requires you to think in the same way.

But I think you could use the secret to get lucid dreams too (I have never tried because I am afraid of failure, and the fact I doubt myself will in fact lead to failure.)

And TWS, don't mock people's beliefs and ways of living.

And besides that, even if the secret were to not work for physical things, it most definitely works for mental things.

i.e. You could use the secret to get money directly(like winning the lottery).
Or, you could use the secret to get a good job.

That first one is physical, and even if that doesn't work, the second one is mental, and will work (or in words you will understand, have more chance of working)

And, besides that, The secret also gives hope, which is sometimes all a person needs to lead a good life.

I will reword my post:

I believe The Secret is BS.

I get more from CBT.

TheWeirdnessSymposium, have you read The Secret book, or watched the film?
