The energy and frequencies thing is just a visualization to help you with the positive thinking. There is just as much proof that the Universe exists the way The Secret describes, as there is proof that God exists.
It’s all just positive thinking and making yourself more likely to get the things that you desire. Your positive thinking will create changed behavior, which often brings you the things you want.

No. It’s offensive nonsense and I wish people would use their 3 brains cells and stop believing crap.
If you count gravity, yeah sort of.
Otherwise, no…It’s totally pseudo.
It depends on how you look at it and how literally you take it. We all know that having a positive attitude works better to achieve positive results in life, right? So that’s not a new concept at all.
Their whole premise, which I don’t outright dismiss, is that we are all connected quite literally. Everything that we perceive as matter is really all energy made up of the same three basic components — protons, neutrons, electrons. The idea is that our thoughts and feelings can influence the universe because we are a part of it — like a part of your brain influencing the movement of your body. The problem with the LOA people is that they’ve taken a concept that sounds nice, but has no evidence to support it, and presented it as pure fact which it is not.
Well it does kinda “work”… I mean… you concentrate on things you want and they come into your life… for example…
You wish for a new laptop… and you keep thinking about it… And somehow… your subconscious mind will give you ideas of how to obtain one… Just like the part with the $ 100.000 bill on the ceiling and the idea of how to get that kind of money just came into that mans mind… etc…
That is about all there is to the movie…
P.S. If you think about applying the secret to your life then do it… But remember this: You can’t just expect for the things you want to come in your life to just appear.. you have to work for them too…
Are you afraid of the assurance the book Secret tends to give you about your success. DREAM BIG! FEAR NOT! SECRET WORKS FOR THOSE WHO WORK.
The Secret of law of attraction itself is that if you want the proof for it, it will manifest for you but you will be the lone witness. See, no two people see the same thing same way. That is why people testify in different ways about the same event. So absorb the principles of Secret and test it for yourself.
Small things can happen with little effort. For big things to happen you need big effort. (o.k. you can leverage). To put that big effort untiringly you need the vision of secret that is believing in something before it happens. No body has to believe something that has already happened. No body believes in Airplanes now. But Wright brothers believed in them before their existence. They did not look for a proof. Got the point!
You want to achieve something in your life. The secret is not to look for proof which means you have doubt but to believe and work for that. No farmer will sow the seeds if he wants proof for the harvest at the time of sowing. He “imagines ” a great bountiful harvest and works for it. That is the secret. If you ask him if he has any proof that he would succeed what answer can he give.
DREAM BIG! FEAR NOT! SECRET WORKS FOR THOSE WHO WORK.
“The secret” explains why there is a law of attraction, but not the how. A similar video called “What the bleep do we know? Down the rabbit hole” explains how the law of attraction works. This is a link to the video on youtube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tSk51Lp-vHU

The important thing to remember about the secret is that it was lifted directly from the Ester Hicks channeling’s.
Better to watch Ester and get it direct than to get it second hand.
Google abraham hicks.
Tons of her stuff on youtube.
Love and blessings don
There is scientific basis, like the above said, The Secret does not explain the how, but the movie What the Bleep (down the rabbit hole) will explain it.
It does not work for those who do not believe.
Start by doin the “create your day” excersize, from the What the Bleep movie. its the simplest way to prove it. To yourself that is, there isnt really any universal proof. Even the movie What the Bleep only explains theoretical physics. Most scientists reject the idea, but most scientists are looking for tangible proof, rather than personal knowing.
Hi Negin,
Questions such as ‘Do you believe in the Law Of Attraction?’ Is the Law Of Attraction real? Does the Law Of Attraction really work? Does it really exist? Is there any scientific basis to it?
These same questions are being asked AT LEAST once every other day both in Yahoo and all over the internet.
There are many people who are quick to say it’s a ‘scam’ and label it B.S., rubbish, pseudoscience, a sham religion, etc………. others say it’s real without giving a detailed explanation.
Let’s put this issue to rest. The Law Of Attraction exists and is REAL. It has been around since the beginning of time, just like gravity. Everyone believes in gravity and no one questions it because gravity’s effects are IMMEDIATE. If you jump out of a five story building, you’ll fall down in no time.
People have a hard time accepting the Law Of Attraction because UNLIKE gravity, there’s always a TIME DELAY associated with it.Your thoughts and emotions are INVISIBLE waves of energy, similar to radio waves. These invisible waves of energy take TIME to manifest into actual physical reality we can see with our eyes. When people think and feel a negative thought today and something bad happens to them days later, they don’t associate the thought as having caused the effect.
The great electrical scientists such as Edison, Tesla, and Marconi all believed that thoughts could move through the air. They were certain that thoughts could affect things if the they are strong and clear. The noted astronomer Sir Arthur Eddington said it was NOT impossible that the physical laws of the universe could be made subject to human thought. And quantum physics doesn’t rule it out either.
Nobel Prize Winner Werner Heisenberg, one of the pioneers of modern quantum physics, said, “Consciousness can shape reality.”
The Secret was a well made movie. However, the Law Of Attraction is more complicated than what the movie teaches. There is MUCH more to the whole manifesting process. The movie should have made that clear, but it did NOT. When people who tried to follow what the movie taught and it didn’t work for them, they started to have doubts and began to think it isn’t real. The people and critics who were skeptical from the beginning were quick to say it’s not real and is a scam or pseudoscience.
(That is part of the problem. The other problem is that many books out there teaching the Law Of Attraction are INCOMPLETE and are more motivational than anything else. Also, they present the information in such a manner that the average person has a hard time putting the information into practical use to get some real results.)
Again, the Law Of Attraction is VERY real but people need to study MUCH MORE into it besides just watching The Secret. You can’t understand Aerospace Engineering math by just learning basic algebra. You need to go further into higher levels of math such as differential equations and advanced calculus.
In order to really understand the true nature of the Law Of Attraction, one needs to study MUCH more into it. Is it no surprise that almost every teacher featured in THE SECRET has their OWN specialized course on the Law Of Attraction?
The popular statement: “Whatever you spend your time and energy focusing on will eventually come to you” is true, BUT NOT THE FULL STORY. It is an oversimplification. You can’t teach someone to bake a special cake by only telling them to ‘get the right ingredients’. You need to go into the specifics such as which ingredients, how to properly mix, the right baking temperature, etc…..If even ONE step along the way isn’t done correctly, the outcome will not be favorable.
So, it’s NOT only about thinking what you want all the time and it appears right in front of you.
There is a step by step scientific process to making the law of attraction work. The problem is most people never learn the whole process. All books (including The Secret) out there seem to give bits of info here and there. Some give too much information, not enough or, are so hard to understand that people are never able to apply any of the information they learn.
If the law of attraction isn’t working for you, you probably don’t have all the information you need as well as explained to you in a manner in which you can understand and APPLY it.
The law of attraction is something I’ve been studying my entire life. I wrote a book called TOTAL LAW OF ATTRACTION which covers everything ‘The Secret’ left out and is now available.
Here is the book featured on Business News:
Here is the Press Release Video link:
I also have a website below where you can download the first few chapters of the book for FREE. Try it at no obligation and see if it’s what you’re looking for.

I’d say LOA is a “science”, the problem is currently we don’t know how to measure it.
I was thinking about something similar, where somebody quoted a source (glorified blog) and I thought about the following:
Things we know and trust, yet can’t measure or at least to the best of my knowledge
Religion – look at a dollar bill. “In God we trust”. I was thinking about the whole ‘saint’ process, But that is another post!
Gravity
The weight of wind.
The world was thought to be flat at one point.
Your thoughts do influence your health, but we can’t measure, how much, when and where. Although Dr. Hammer has some interesting ideas.
Science and measuring have done some amazing things for the world. Yet, it has also stopped, curtailed and broken many things. Since things could not be measured.
Some things you can’t measure or don’t want to. Yet, if they serve you (LOA) why change or question it? After all if we could measure and quantify LOA, how much impact would that have on the world and medical community at large? The most tested drug is the sugar pill (placebo effect), yet you can’t buy it over the counter. Don’t you find that a little strange.
Think of it another way. Where as we defend LOA and think it is great because it works for us. Why do so many dismiss it? Yet, a little further inquiry normally points to the fact that they have not used the steps or have on something massive and it didn’t work out for them.
The irony is, we don’t learn like that. We have an end goal in mind which is important to us. Keep going, changing and practising until we get our end result. – If that wasn’t the case, none or use would walk, talk, tie shoe laces or ride a bike. Oh you want something bigger. There would be no car, planes, hospitals or medical science. Then again, LOA doesn’t work right?
There is no real proof but it does not mean that it does not exist.
I have not seen the movie but I have the books, The Secret, Abraham Hicks etc..
I am really interested in it too but I realise that my subconscious still remains skeptical after even being kind of ” astonished” really.
I am my worst enemy ! In short and lots of people struggle with doubts and so on and believing..no way that will NEVER materialise……..and count me in the lot !
I contacted someone on here , very kind, very helpful and explaining more clearly what it is all about. I cannot say more on here because..yahoo rules. !
Honestly I have not really tried it a lot. The first time I experimented with it I asked a “crazy” question to the universe..I said..OK..will try..and see..I want within 3 days to find a pyramid, possibly crystal, in a shop. And I let it go for it was not important.
The day after I went shopping for groceries shopping in a mall which I know like the back of my hand and I passed a stall and I just noticed a kind of really big pyramid ! It was made of glass though but I bought it..was only $ 10. I bought it because I had wished for it and it “appeared” the next day lol !
I tried it thinking of the most “unlikely” items I could across to ..test ! And there it was !
OK please count me as people who doubt etc ..and I still am..
But there were many instances in my life BEFORE any of it (the movie, books etc) when I was kind of astonished though that was I was wishing for ……became reality..because I let go- that is the thing not getting emotionally attached- but then there are SO MANY contradictions out there that makes one very confused and very skeptical..including me..!!
Some say you have to put feelings in it and then release it..I do not understand that part ..Difficult to get rid of feelings anyway.
There are many many “preachers” shall I say and when I became interested they all ended up confusing me.
That is the reason why I am kind of ..reluctant ? Afraid to fail or ?
But I know that LOADS of my wishes came true when I was daydreaming about them but not really believing in them…….and …….LOL..coincidences ?? They happened to become true lol ! Weird ! Even the most unlikely ones..
I do not know how it works really..i think , anyway on my part, is wishing but not expecting? Kind of a downer really isn’t it ?
I do not know..
The past 2 weeks I was thinking of a friend I lost contact with and thought it was a shame really..just because he moved to another town far away and we lost touch. And for some reason I had him on my mind..and just tonight ( I swear it is real !!!!!) I opened my IM……and he had sent me a message last week and hoping to see me again…!!! and that was the first since..3 years ago ??
We had had no contact since …………so strange..
I think it is really complicated for some ..including me..am giving you a link if you are interested.
I still do not know how it works..
Some stuff I really really wanted became reality and some I thought were so beyond me…….happened !!! When I did not believe at all.
I think there is a lot of confusion…if you have any questions try this link :

Hi Negin, I saw the movie too and I agree with you, it is great. I would like to share my five cents to you and on how I understand the law of attraction. First, law of attraction is the greatest law of the universe. And I believe yes it works, it depends on how you visualize it to happen. We may not know each other personally, but I would like to share one instance how it manifest in my life. I was really thinking of someone very dear to me, we have not seen for ages and we lost contact, I lost my phone where his number was stored, I change location and he was on the other side of the world due to the nature of his work. Missing him so much make me think of him every day, sometimes, I think of him before I go to sleep, that he thinks of me too and he is making way for us to meet again. Three days after, while roaming around town, I saw one of our common friend and he mentioned that the person I have been thinking was back in town and he was looking for me, since we moved from our old address, no body knew where I was. I got his number from our common friend and that same day, we met and he told me, he was really making a way and doing everything to find me. Base on my experience my visualization manifested.
One of the mainly popular questions we always hear is is: How do I make the Law Of Attraction work for me or work faster? The simple, and I guess most common answer is:
•imagine what it is you want as already achieved more often e.g. if you’re doing it once a day, do it three times a day
•make your visualizations more vivid;
•add more emotion to your visualizations.
•you’ve handled all your internal objections and blocks to getting what it is that you want.
•If not handled, these blocks and objections can literally stop you dead in your tracks.
•You see, most commonly you are receiving some kind of benefit from having that block in place. You subconscious mind “protects” you by keeping it hidden.
I would like to share some articles you may want to read in your spare time, this helps me understand more. I wish you all the best Negin, practice this as early as possible and I am sure life will be easy for you as for me =)
