The Law of Attraction

I just realized as I was typing the title of this post how coincidental it is that I found this link last night as I was wallowing... Things have a way of coming around just when we need them most. I was skulling blogs and there were lots that happened to be talking about this book The Secret. I guess Larry King had a show on it, and people are talking about it. It's all about how we create our own universes, our lives, through our thoughts. This is not a new or unique idea - there are plenty of philosophies and self-help books that mention this concept, including the Bible. The idea that we are what we think has always been a frame for my life, although sometimes I need to be reminded of it. Anyway, you can watch the video in 11 chapters here.

All the world arises from our thoughts.
With our thoughts we make the world.
-Buddha

Sooooo cool how the law of attraction works. Although many of us have been living with those spiritual "laws" in mind, it's wonderful that someone was able to transmit this knowledge in such a clear and entertaining way. People have been telling me about the video, The Secret. I was thinking that I'd like to see what everyone is talking about, and poof ! You gave us the link ! Thankyou. Interesting how the same concepts are published and put out there to the masses in so many different styles. And we've all always known The Secret, but always good to be reminded.
