The Secret and Aging

“I banished every bit of stiffness and lack of agility right out of my body. I focused on seeing my body as flexible and as perfect as a child’s, and every stiff and aching joint vanished. I literally did this overnight.”
“Aging is limited thinking…”
“…in reality there is no such thing.”
“You can think your way to the perfect state health, the perfect body, the perfect weight, and eternal youth.”
(All quotes from page 131.)

If that’s true, then the author and believers in The Secret should be looking pretty good as the years go by. And their death rate should be zero. I guess we’ll have to wait and see…

Yeah, what about the issue of death? The Secret doesn’t seem to address it. But in my mind, since death is an absolute certainty, any philosophical stance that ignores it is incomplete and possibly irrelevant. Or maybe it’s just bs…

The Secret Gets Goofy

From the copyright page in The Secret:
"The information contained in this book is...not for diagnosis, prescription, or treatment of any health disorder whatsoever. This information should not replace consultation with a competent healthcare professional." Etc...

Yeah, I understand the need to protect yourself in a litigious society. But maybe a better way would be to not print things like this:
The thought that food is responsible for weight gain "is complete balderdash!"
"Think perfect thoughts and the result must be perfect weight."
"Food cannot cause you to put on weight unless you think it can."
"...I now maintain my perfect weight of 116 pounds and I can eat whatever I want."

If only that were true...
As an aside, I wonder if the evangelists of the Law of Attraction believe that lack of food only makes you starve if you think it can?

This is just the beginning. It gets goofier.
