The "Secret"...is that there is no "Secret"

I will be short and to the point. The Secret is a farse and it's not my opinion, Jesus Himself tells us by completely contradicting one of the most talked about aspects, philosophies, concepts...whatever you'd like to call it.

The Savior completely makes this claim by "The Secret" fall flat on it's face. The Secret claims if you say, for example, "I want to be out of debt" according to The Secret by saying this you attract debt by the mere mention, even by the mere thought you will attract debt.

You can read in Matthew 7: 7-10
    7 Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you:
    8 For every one that asketh receiveth; and he that seeketh findeth; and to him that knocketh it shall be opened.
    9 Or what man is there of you, whom if his son ask bread, will he give him a stone?
    10 Or if he ask a fish, will he give him a serpent?
What more can I say other than "ask and ye shall receive."

So, we now have been reminded that the "Universe", as they call it, does not hand out trials, tribulation or even wealth and success, just by the mere thought or audible mention.
The universe...ok, let's get real, God will give you what you ask, not single out one word in a thought or sentence and give only that to you. God is a thinking, feeling, emotional individual that cares for us. He's not some mystical being, without parts, passions, etc, just...out there as The Secret depicts the universe. Actually, it's a strange coincidence that The Secret's depiction of the "universe" is also how the Nicene Creed describes God.

What I find even more funny about everyone in the video is, most especially, they have a reverend...preacher, religious leader, saying the "universe" is responsible for all this. It's as if he doesn't recognize God's hand in all this.


Also why is it that 2 people in prison, in the exact same environment, one can be completely miserable and the other can be the happiest person? It's all about perspective, not the universe dealing out a bad hand to one prisoner and the universe dealing out a good hand to the other prisoner.
So for The Secret to say the "universe" is giving the homosexual man in The Secret all the flaque, that is crap.

The Secret almost contradicts itself. Mark Victor Hansen the "expert" at this concept of the law of attraction, he claims that it's the "universe" giving him all this crap, but then he goes right into personal responsibility.

Mr. Hansen tells him to look at all the things this man is focusing on, the homosexual man is focusing on all these negative things. The man changes his perspective from "I'm the minority that is being picked on" to someone that is just an ordinary person and boom, all the troubles that the "universe" was dishing out have disappeared.

This concept of the "Universe" being responsible for the fate of peoples' everyday events is crap, it's almost like people are believing in Greek gods again.

This truly rings of something that is deceiving the very elect.

Fabulous Weekend!!

I've just come back from the ACN International training in Detroit Michigan. I know some might think this is a solid weekend of raw raw, fun, and excitement, but it's not like that...it's far more! I can't over "sell" this event enough!

I was first approached about going to the training events and I thought that training couldn't build my business, but the services, and any announcements about the services would be what built my business. I had already been exposed to the business for 9 months, collectively, and really didn't see the sense in spending the money for the $100.00 entrance fee and the cost of a plane ticket and hotel fee's. Not to mention the money it would take to not starve.

I was also worried that the whole point of going was to get an excitement that would make my business grow, quickly, but I was afraid that would fade. It did fade, but when I came away from the Sept 2006 International training (in Baltimore Maryland) I had a far greater understanding of the direction of the company and it's vision. That description does not come close to touching what it's actually like to experience an International ACN training event!

Getting a vision of the direction of ACN is just a small piece of what you learn while at this 3 day event. You get to hear from the co-founders of the company and the top producing representative's. This is exciting because it's the people at the top of the company teaching you what they have done to get to the top...in other words you are being trained on what the best in the company do to be successful. It's like this, the people at the top of ACN don't make dimes until the people below them make quarters. So, the co-founders and the top executives have every incentive to help out everyone below them.

That is an ACN international training event ,in a nutshell...however you have to experience this to believe it. I have come away from the International training in Detroit excited and ready to tell everyone about this, because everyone needs this opportunity.
ACN is how you can make money from people paying for something essential that they use everyday, it's phone service! This could only be simpler if you were getting paid for people flushing their toilet, drinking water, or breathing!

Seriously, you have to be with me and about 10,000 others in theACN International Training in Baltimore, MD This September
