Maybe you don’t believe the Bible, maybe you do. For the purposes of this post, it doesn’t really matter.
The teachers in The Secret pretend that they are teaching what the Bible teaches. The truth is, the two books aren’t even close.
The Secret tells you to trust your heart, your instincts, your feelings. The Bible says that my heart and your heart is deceitful above all else.
The Secret says to look at everything you want and say “I can afford it!” and to go after what you think will make you happy. The Bible says this is actually a basic problem of our world system: “What causes fights and quarrels among you? Don’t they come from your desires that battle within you? You want something but don’t get it. You kill and covet, but you cannot have what you want. You quarrel and fight.” (James 1.1-2)
My point here is not that the Bible is right and The Secret is wrong. My point is that The Secret and the Bible teach two different things.
You can believe The Secret, or you can believe the Bible. But forget this idea of believing them both.
