No doubt you have heard of The Law of Attraction.
It is a concept that utilizes the 'power of positive thinking' to
achieve specific beneficial goals and outcomes in one's life. This
concept is actually nothing new, but was brought to the world's
attention in 2006 by author Rhonda Byrne. She wrote the best selling
self help book entitled 'The Secret' that created quite a stir especially in Christian circles.
Outside criticism received from 'The Secret' suggested that its 'pseudoscience' gives an 'illusion of knowledge' and the references given to quantum mechanics is perhaps too much 'science' for the 'lay person' to understand; including the author of 'The Secret'. I admit I haven't read the book, nor do I intend to. But as a 'lay person' with an interest in science who has a working knowledge of quantum mechanics along with a working understanding of God and His word, I know I can help you dear reader understand that the secret things revealed to God's children about God are for us to know. What God wants for us to know we are not supposed to keep a secret as there is nothing hidden from us that God wants us to know. He reveals to us in order that we can better live for Him.
This article will help alleviate critic's tensions and derision among Christian circles because I believe The Law of Attraction is correct, but not entirely correct. Because with anything if God is left out of the details it is false in its own right and further becomes twisted as man brings his own understanding. Most often times this is a false understanding as personal opinion is confused with personal understanding and attaches to the ego which puffs up. The Law of Attraction is not anything new and that is because it originates within Godly design. Ten years ago 'The Secret' was not a new concept, it was just re-invented with a 'new age' spin. A spin that wove a web of deceit that depends on who you ask, does it work? To some it does and to others it doesn't; this article will tell you why.
