    Please don't play arm chair psychiatrist with me....

    Trust me my life is amazing ... but it's not because of ME .... It's because of GOD.

    That's the difference.

  3. I wasn't playing armchairphycho with you just telling you the truth as I see it.

    If you are soooo into living an amazing life solely because of GOD then STOP JUDGING OTHERS for starters.

    GOD is an all forgiving being, follow his lead.

    Religion as well as politics belong in chit-chat. This is not the venue, nor do I think is a good use of my time in telling people what to think.

    so, namaste brother....see you in heaven..:)

    Ya think ?

    Maybe you should reread the Old Testament.

    I am not judging others I'm quantifying "the secret" as a false prophet.

    There is a difference... :)

  5. So if someone buys a DVD because they want to be a happier person
    it is narcisstic, arrogant and ignorant?

    Judge not or ye shall be judged...:)

  6. It is not a false prophet....it's not a prophet at all. It's about generating a positive attitude and yes, fulfilling that which you desire...this is not bad, is it?

    Or do you believe we are put on earth to live in a state of unhappiness and unfulfilled? Can someone with money do more good for society than someone without? Wouldn't you like to be able to establish something like the Bill Gates Foundation? Hey, once you obtain your potential, you should be in the best position to do good for others. Whether you do that or chose selfishness is on the head of the individual decision maker.

    The Secret is simply a methodology and mental approach for achieving ones potential. The other factor required is opportunity. Hopefully, the God you believe in is kind enough, loving enough, to provide that. If he is, be thankful.

  7. The secret is a way of extracting money from suckers. Simple as that. An Aussie con that's sucked in a lot of Americans.

  8. For that statement to be unequivocally true, you'd have to assert that it has been of no benefit to anyone.

    Given your omniscience, can you tell us who will be the next US President?

    Thank you in advance.

  9. The "secret" of a really good con is to give the appearance of some value.

    Its like a really good disease ... it doesn't kill off its hosts, it lets them keep on giving.

    I guess by your offended response that you are a sucker.

    How would you feel is I suggested that public lotteries were a tax on the stupid?
