Mastery of Abundant Living "The Key to Mastering the Law of Attraction"
How to put the `Law of Attraction� into real life. Bruce and Tammy provide the key that unlocks the `secret
Customer Review: The Book Everyone Should Have
This is a book that everyone should have. The cover is intriguing enough but when you begin to read it, it will draw you in. I guess that is how the Law of Attraction works. . . Anyway, even if it doesn't call you now, it will eventually. And there it will be, right on your table waiting for you. You will feel empowered as a person as you read it. If you put it down for a while, you can always reread it and enjoy it as much as the first time you read it. What more would you want in a book?
Customer Review: You Can Apply What You Learn From This Book Immediately!
I read "Mastery of Abundant Living" on a flight from Chicago to Washington DC and began applying the techniques Tammy Lynch and Bruce Goldwell spelled out in the book from the moment I stepped off the plane. In fact, by using the "Law of Attraction," which I had literally learned on that 90 minute flight, my bag was the first to come off the belt in baggage claim, the public transportation to my hotel was free and my room was automatically upgraded to the top floor without a request and with no additional charges. I'm writing this review only a day later, so I can't say how it has changed my life, but I can't wait to see what happens!

What the Bleep
The Secret Behind The Secret Law of Attraction
Its followers believe it is the secret formula, known through the ages by various philosophers and mystics and scientists, that guarantees easy access to the success we ve always dreamed of. And so they say, enough is enough to the ignorant, blind, obstacle-ridden, hard life that millions of people are living. Live The Secret and you will bypass the unnecessary frustrations, long learning curves, and tortuous detours that seem to have humanity by the throat.
To them, The Secret is THE way. To them, it's a scientifically proven universal law that always works in every situation, every time.
Most men lead lives of quiet desperation, said Thoreau, and THE SECRET shouts passionately that this does not have to be. There is true magic afoot, there are lanterns to be lit, passions to be embraced, secret thoughts to be learned and we can discover a whole new way of living that is, simply, there for the taking!
And now there are those who see real and grave danger in this virus that is spreading through the English-speaking world...and they say, enough is enough.
The leaders of The Secret crossed the line of humanity and compassion when they began to state that people bring on their own illnesses, cause their own genocide, rape and murder.
And what about the authors of this book? Are we saying, enough is enough? Well, you will have to obtain the real secret within...we did a little bit of digging and have found out the real truth about The Secret. We ve found that all that glitters is not gold. You ll have to make your own decision.
What we can promise is that we will do our best to be fair, open-minded, kind, truthful and honest.
Our purpose is to accurately represent The Secret and then show how and why we are concerned for the poor and defenseless.
And whether you agree with us or not, you will find out some things that really do matter about the human mind and heart. And we're going to show you how the people who supposedly had The Secret through the ages, really felt about philosophies like The Secret. The geniuses that the movie and books claim had the Secret were indeed some of the greatest thinkers of the last two thousand years....but is it true that they had the Secret or believed anything like the Secret? In this book we ll show you what they REALLY wrote and how they thought....and then we ll examine feelings and possibly take issue with what people say are the dangerous aspects of The Secret.
And you ll find out what people can really do to make their life better.
Customer Review: Interesting, thought-provoking & eye-opening!
"The Secret" (By Rhonda Byrne) is one of the Amazon's bestselling books & dvds, but the most of the reader's reviews suggest that there's something wrong with the underlying premise, the Law of Attraction (LOA). For the uninitiated, here's what the LOA teaches:
You're a Magnet! Thinking good thoughts creates positive vibrational energy that enables you to attract your dream lover, wealth, success and happiness beyond your wildest dreams.
You're a Creator! You can think anything you want into existence. After all, the Law of Attraction is a scientific fact, just like the law of gravity.
You're got the Power! Forget about your higher power, the universe is at your command. Think, speak and write down your intentions... and don't forget to give thanks in advance for what's coming to you. Your "good vibrations" will be richly rewarded, but be sure to leave the outcome open-ended, so whatever happens is in your best interest.
You're a Look-the-Other-Wayer! Don't focus on anyone but yourself. That's right, look the other way when you see obesity, rape, abuse, injustice or crime. It's best to protect yourself by being in a positive vibrational energy all the time. The risk of attracting something you don't want is too great, so make it your practice to look the other way.
You're responsible! Yes, everything that happens in your life is your responsibility. Even events that seem out of your control are brought on by the magnetic energy of your thoughts. The downside is that you are also partially responsible for the Collective Social Consciousness that says, "It's not my problem." Yes, you're partially to blame for the holocaust, but don't worry about that. Let someone else worry about it who is ignorant about vibrational energy.
If you're reading this and shaking your head in unbelief, "The Secret Behind the Secret LOA" is for you. The book takes a critical look at "The Secret" as it examines it's magical thinking, something-for-nothing message, get-rich-quick appeal, and the "you're-one-product-away-from-success" upsell that's behind the bestselling book and movie.
Surprisingly, the authors admit that they'd love for the "Law of Attraction" to be possible. Contributing psychologist Kevin Hogan admits to doing a visualization exercise after discovering he had hyperkeratosis / Leukoplakia. Hogan found the surgical procedure for removing leukoplakia in a medical textbook, and memorized it. He then mentally performed the surgery on himself (by visualizing the operation in his mind) 50 times a day. When Hogan returned to the doctor, it was discovered that his hyperkeratosis was gone. It's a medical miracle that Hogan attributes to the "Attraction Factor" and priming (or using mental imagery to prepare your mind for the best possible outcome.) Hogan suggests the attraction factor is worth experimenting with, but admits it does not work all the time.
There are lots of gems in this book. Blair Warren says we think 60,000 thoughts daily, making self-monitoring (and consistent "good vibrations") just about impossible. Thinking isn't always black and white; as many things in life may feel bad (exercise, fasting, staying on a budget, etc) yet may be good for us. Dave Lakhani offers compelling reasons why "The Secret" resembles a cult, and suggests six alternative ways to get the edge. Bob Beverly shares seven keys to success and well-being.
Each of the four authors (Hogan, Warren, Lakhani, Beverly) take turns writing chapters, making this book a lot like a roundtable discussion. Together, they knock down the "house of cards" created by the Secret and it's followers. By reading this book, you too will be ready to offer an intelligent and sensitive rebuttal to "The Secret." Plus, think of all the time, money and energy you'll save by avoiding "Law of Attraction" books, cds, and seminars. That makes this book worth every penny of its cover price.
This book is recommended for anyone who had read or watched "The Secret" and wants to work through the issues surrounding the Law of Attraction. Personally, I've struggled with these issues myself, and this book really opened my eyes. Now, I realize that it's good to dream about what I want to accomplish in life, but "good vibrations" are not enough to make my dreams a reality.
Customer Review: Healthy tactics are NOT laws of science
Are state lotteries really a competition of who can visualize the hardest? I think not, but I heard this premise from a "Law of Attraction" platform seller.
Yes, positive thinking increases your likelihood of "attracting" positive results, but this is not a law of physics with replicable results. And, taking The Secret too seriously leads to rediculous assumptions. The victims of Virginia Tech did NOT "attract" their deaths. The Secret Behind The Secret discusses the ramifications of a well marketed movie taken too seriously by many. For the sake of your sanity and critical reasoning skills, if you have watched The Secret more than three times you need to buy this book.
I like The Secret. I'll watch it with friends. I'll give the movie to friends I imagine benefiting from concepts in The Secret. However, Law of Attraction zealots are like Christian Scientists who won't see a doctor to get an antibiotic when they are really sick.
If what you are thinking and doing aren't getting you the specific measurable results you expect, consider getting more scientific and taking action. Prayer may work, but simply thinking about winning doesn't make winners of all the lottery buyers.
No matter how much I visualize flying, gravity still works.

The Law of Attraction
Here are the writers that inspired the likes of Jerry and Esther Hicks, Michael J. Losier, and Rhonda Byrne. Long before The Secret and The Law of Attraction were written these fifteen authors were writing about the Law of Attraction and the power of positive thinking.

With this book you will get fifteen masterful perspectives on The Law of Attraction and the power of positive thinking to manifest the things that you want in your life. Included here are Genevieve Behrend, Elizabeth Towne, Prentice Mulford, William Walker Atkinson, Earnest Holmes, Wallace D. Wattles, James Allen, Ralph Waldo Trine, Orison Swett Marden, Thomas Troward, Joseph Murphy, Charles F. Haanel, Robert Collier, Theron Q. Dumont, and Napoleon Hill.

Burying the Secret: The Road to Ruin Is Paved with Books about the Law of Attraction
Feverish compliance with the law of attraction in the 1980s left the author dead broke for 17 years and in a wheelchair by 2002, due to unanticipated medical conditions.
When Rhonda Byrne's The Secret muscled its way into the media in early 2007, the author's unpleasant memories morphed into a pressing need to complete the book she started during her perilous law-of-attraction period. Over a 10-year span, the author had read 300+ metaphysical books that inadvertently challenged The Secret's core message: Just focus on what you want and it will quickly manifest.
Burying The Secret was primarily inspired by Eastern thought, mysticism, and psychological matters as they relate to spirituality. The author learned about other elements at work, such as the laws governing cause and effect, transition, and suffering. She also discovered key influences on our soul's development, such as learning lessons, voluntary acts of redemption, sacrifice, and free will.
Burying The Secret indicts The Secret for its refusal to acknowledge that unanswered prayers are the norm and for its unfathomable premise: The law of attraction thrives as an independent force. Please email Babblingbooks at yahoo.com for a free PDF with 64 pages of excerpts. Please allow 72 hours for fulfillment.
This book is dedicated to everyone whose dreams and aspirations have been postponed indefinitely by life's inevitable detours.
An older soul with a pitiful level of evolution is like the high school thug, slumped in the back row, who tunes out the teacher. All the students are exposed to the same resources, but not everyone takes advantage of them. - Burying the Secret
Customer Review: A different way to view the law of attraction
Reviewed by Paige Lovitt for Reader Views (2/08)
In "Burying the Secret," Carol Rutter shares her story with us of how the Law of Attraction did not work for her. For years, she adhered to this idea, but things got worse and worse for her. When she started researching psychology, mysticism and Eastern thought, she realized that not all prayers are to be answered for a variety of reasons. She states, "The Secret" fails to acknowledge that unanswered petitions are the norm because fulfillment of the most dramatic or life-changing prayers usually conflict with our karmic standing and/or purpose in life..."
This really makes a lot of sense to me, especially after reading her book. She extensively researches the other areas mentioned above and references them so that you can further review her discussion. In her writings you discover why bad things happen to good people and you see good things happening to bad people. She really makes a lot of sense.
I enjoyed "The Secret" to the point that I read it, watched it, and went to a conference on it. Even though, I am a fan of "The Secret," I had a lot of questions in my mind; that she addresses. These questions and thoughts were lurking in the back of my mind, because I was afraid if I verbalized them, then I would be cancelling the Law of Attraction. After reading, "Burying the Secret," I feel like I have a greater understanding of how things really work.
I highly recommend "Burying the Secret" to people who are familiar or interested in "The Secret" or the Law of Attraction. It will help provide some balanced ideas to people who are on their spiritual quest. It will definitely help you understand why karmic law and/or prayer, does not always allow our prayers to be answered. Reading this book made me feel so much more positive about the path that I am on.
Customer Review: Inspiration is where you find it
I was intrigued by Carol Rutter's Burying the Secret, because I have read works on esoteric and mystical spirituality. First in studying intuition to enhance jazz improvisation, then as a means of evolving along my Christian pathway.
I had time to read this carefully as I recovered from surgery and reflected upon the circumstances in my life.
While, ostensibly, this book is an indictment of a pop psychology/light metaphysics light book, The Secret, the far-ranging work became much more to me.
I benefited from in depth treatments of the psychological aspects of parent child relations, a general treatment of Jungian psychology, particularly the collective unconscious, a short, but effective synopsis of Caroline Myss's work on recovering from wounds and intriguing sections later in the book on universal laws as she discerned them.
I also found her biographical sections on her life's lessons, how difficult it was to learn them and why "The Secret" was not effective for her to ring true and hold inspiration for me.
While I am not ready to embrace her more esoteric ideas, such as the Akashic records, definitive treatments of pre-birth activities, the fact is, I got plenty of inspiration from her words.
For example, Karmic debts and releases seems the same thing that the Bible describes as "whatever a man sows, this he will also reap". The human condition is to evolve. Whether the lessons are sent by a benevolent universe, as she believes, or all part of God's plan, as I believe, the individual must accept responsibility for their human and spiritual evolution and discerning and acting upon their purpose in life. Like Ms. Rutter and myself, people who do not want to learn life's lessons will be given repeat opportunities to learn them.
I do not believe that one book can an all-purpose spiritual and evolutionary guide, except maybe the Bible. However, one idea can inspire an individual to critically examine beliefs and behavior and make a change. There were many such ideas in this book. I received plenty of helpful inspiration and I can enthusiastically recommend this book.
I also want to say that there is a marvelous exercise in self understanding in an appendix near the end of the book.

Secret Source: The Law of Attraction Is One of Seven Ancient Hermetic Laws: Here Are the Other Six
The Secret Source reveals the actual occult doctrines that gave birth to "The Law of Attraction" and inspired the media phenomenon known as The Secret.
Why did The Secret divulge only one of the seven Hermetic Laws? What are the others, what do they say, and how could they enrich your life?
The Secret Source provides the actual texts and fascinating stories behind the "Emerald Tablet," the Kabbalistic treatise known as "The Kybalion," and Manly P. Hall's essay on the occult movement that produced it.
Maja D'Aoust lectures at the Philosophical Research Society; Adam Parfrey, editor of Apocalypse Culture, is writing a history of secret societies in America; and Jodi Wille is editing a book on the mystical commune known as "The Source." Manly P. Hall is the author of The Secret Teachings of All Ages.
Customer Review: Unveiling the Secret
The book The Secret Source might at first appear to be a outright criticism of the book The Secret or perhaps a book hoping to sell it's own brand of self help to confused consumers who mistake one title for the other but as good fortune would have it, it's neither. What The Secret Source offers is a highly detailed history of Prosperity Consciousness, the New Thought movement, Alchemy, Rosicrucianism, even Mesmerism and others and how they all can be traced back to Hermetic origins. It gets better though, the true story and recurring trend of Prosperity Consciousness doesn't exist in a historical bubble, the Secret Source shows the interlinked timeline of how it's Hermetic roots are bound within Christian, Judaic and Islamic history as well. The research in this book is highly detailed with all the major players, important texts, and movements laid out. The level of detail presented in this book is commendable and I'm sure in another life D'Aoust and Parfrey were detectives. One of the books strength is it's academic approach rather than being a self help book. Over 100 footnotes are present to site for anyone who would like to follow up with their own investigation. One criticism I would offer, though a very minor one at that, is that the order of some of the information in the early chapters seems to be not as well organized as it could have been for maximum comprehension. There is a lot of dense material to cover in the beginning of the book and for someone not completely acquainted with the subject there are a lot of names and connections to keep straight. Most chapters read like one major epiphany after the other. The authors make amazing connections and trace almost unbelievable timelines of major religious intrigue. I won't spoil it for the potential reader but I think one of my favorite things about this book is when it finally comes to the question of where do Hermetic Laws come from? Every great detective wants to peel away the layers of the onion but what happens when you get to the very last layer? What is the secret source of the secret source? It doesn't matter if you have never read The Secret to enjoy this book. You don't even have to know anything about hermeticism or the occult . Readers that like real life mysteries, history, religious study or anyone remotely curious about the self help trends they see in the media today can fully appreciate this book.
Customer Review: The Secret Source is THE Source of Secrets!
Sure, the law of attraction is a Universal Law, but not "THE" law,
and Prosperity Consciousness is nothing new. And neither are without their dangers. The Secret Source traces the seven Hermetic Laws back to ancient Egypt and Greece, showing how they filtered through various religions and into the mainstream consciousness of our modern world. Maja DAoust and Adam Parfrey wade through my favorite cast of characters and themes, including but not limited to the Rosacrucians, the Freemasons, Mesmer, Hermes Trisgmegistus, Thoth, Enochian Magick, the Tetrgrammaton, and much more.
This book presents the actual texts and hidden stories behind the likes of the "Emerald Tablet," and "The Kybalion." The beliefs of the New Thought movement that have given generations of hopeful sustenance to health and wealth seekers throughout time are exposed through the works of Wallace Wattles, Napoleon Hill and the Carnegies.
Not be missed is the chapter entitled "Horny Angelic Beings". Now, before you too excited, I'll warn that you won't be reading a saucy account of Raphael getting it on with the Daughters of Man while the Nephilim videotape. Although personally I must admit I've always been a bit hot for arch angel Zadkiel and his abiltity toss my atomic salad, bringing my molecules into perfected frequency with his song of the violet flame. Sorry readers. I couldn't help myself. After all, Maja is the archetypal sexy librarian of the Philosophical Research Society. PRS and its' amazing library of esoteric manuscripts was founded by Manly P. Hall (sage and author of The Secret Teachings of All Ages (Reader's Edition)), and the society's main mission is to provide thoughtful persons rare access to the depth and breadth of the world's wisdom literature. Parfrey runs Process Media and Feral House, publisher of high-quality books on forbidden topics.

Abraham's Teachings, An Introduction to: The Law of Deliberate Creation--About the Law of Allowing, The Powerful Law of Attraction...
audio book
Customer Review: Interesting...
Abraham Hicks' message is definitely one that is empowering and uplifting. However, I can't help but have some doubts about the genuineness of this. I would love to believe Abraham exists, but am I the only one who notices that Esther's accent changes the longer Abraham speaks through her? At first, when Abraham begins to speak, Esther's accent is thick and reminiscent of Eastern Europe of Gypsy. She also nearly shouts (in comparison to her usual meek, cheery voice) as though to distinguish a clear difference in voice patterns, making the listener more likely to believe it's not really Esther speaking. If Abraham is using Esther's vocabulary then why aren't they also using her natural accent and volume? Also, after a few minutes into the lecture, Esther's Abraham accent relaxes to a little closer to her own natural speaking voice. For some reason this glaring inconsistency then makes me aware that the rhythm of her voice sounds as though she is reading from a script and not speaking naturally. I am not a pessimist by nature and, as I've said, I would really love to believe Abraham is true, but I cannot help but find these oddities extremely distracting. This is why I've only given it 4 stars.
Other than that, I enjoy the message immensely and find myself more joyous after listening to it. Whether or not Abraham is true, these lectures are deliciously entertaining and heart-warming. I do believe in the concept they are teaching (ie: the law of attraction) just maybe not the method they use to teach it.
Customer Review: Everyone Else Copies Abraham - Read the Source!
I've bought all the latest and greatest "spiritual" books but Abraham-Hicks has been around since the 80s and no one has improved on their work. I constantly hear Abraham's terminology used by other authors but the Abraham-Hicks books are, to borrow one of their terms, the Source.
It's easy to get past the fact that Esther is presumably channeling, if you have a problem with that, because the truth of what is being said is so profound and hits you so squarely when you hear it you really don't care where it's coming from. I heard them first at a publishing convention where many authors spoke, including Wayne Dyer, and I signed up for Abraham-Hicks only for entertainment, I told my friend. Ten minutes into Abraham's presentation I was in tears.
I bought the 8 CDs and I listen to them over and over and over. Rich with "heads-on" ideas, I don't believe anyone need ever be depressed again after reading this work.
There is only one thing I disagree with in all the Hay House books, including this one, which is that we attract everything that happens to us. We have children running out for baseballs who get kidnapped, horribly molested and murdered - and they didn't attract that. They were unprotected and that may have attracted immature or sociopathic people. But the thoughts of these children didn't attract what happened to them.
But this does not in any way cloud the fact that you CAN, in fact, attract what happens to you, and that is infinitely more interesting.
Deliberate Intent is an improvement over their prior book, Ask and it is Given, in its detail. I thought I understood the art of allowing until I read Deliberate Intent where the concepts are explained much more thoroughly. I'm recommending it to everyone I know with problems ranging from breaking up with a fiancee to health problems to money dreams.

Customer Review: good overview
I recommend this book (volume II), and volumes I and III, to anyone who is starting the search for 'truth', seeking to change their life's direction, seeking ideas on what and who they are, and why things are.
The books are easy reads, and at the same time, tell you lots about your own power, the power of the mind, the power of thoughts, your beliefs and vibrations, without being too 'flowery' or 'mystical'. Those who are just starting out their exploration of the power of the mind and The Secret etc, will find this book and volumes I and II all helpful and insightful.
The author also gives example affirmations and thought patterns to use to bring about positive change in one's mental attitudes and life.
They are good books to start off with, or to read in addition to similar writers such as Joseph Murphy, Ernest Holmes and H Emilie Cady...
As Wattles says in chapter four of 'The Science of Being Great' ( volume I), 'God is wrapped about us, enfolds us and presses upon us from every side....We are immersed in mind and that mind contains all knowlege and all truth...you can make yourself what you desire to be: you can do what you wish to do; you can have what you want...'.
Volume II (page 109) he states '...The desire for advancement is a fundamental fact in the action of mind, therefore the desire for advancement is in all and through all. All things desire the advancement of every man. If a man desires any good thing in order to live his life more fully, that thing desires him also...'
Volume III (page 98) he states, '...and if you recognise disease within yourself, you prevent God from reaching you; and you form within yourself that which you recognise as existing...'.
I think volume one is the best of the three volumes, but they all contain insights.
Customer Review: The Truth
His message is enlightening and if we can live the way he described in the book, the world will be advancing faster towards perfection.

Beyond the Secret: Spiritual Power and the Law of Attraction
Since the publication of The Secret, everyone seems to be talking about the Law of Attraction. In the popular imagination, everything we desire can be ours. But the Law of Attraction is more than the power of positive thinking or a plan to get rich quick. In Beyond the Secret, Lisa Love teaches us how to use the Law of Attraction spiritually. Instead of focusing on the selfishness and greed in human nature that leads us to want, want, want, Love inspires her readers to see beyond the individual ego and to attract and retain objects and events that will be beneficial to ourselves and to others.
Lisa Love makes the Law of Attraction accessible to everyone, revealing essential insights on how to discover true and lasting life satisfaction.
Beyond the Secret teaches you to:
-understand what Spirit wants for you in this life
-use the Law of Attraction to gain insight into yourself and your destiny
-create and maintain a deeply satisfying sense of spiritual fulfillment
Not everyone can use the Law of Attraction to win the lottery or to become the next American Idol, but everyone can use the Law of Attraction to become a happier and better person.
Customer Review: Spoken like a true believer in the guilt based religions.
Thank you Lisa Love for writing this book, without which I could not fully appreciate the works of Esther and Jerry Hicks. I gave it a two star only because of the potential of the unread portion, although I'll never know.
The first reviewer was very gentle her choice of phrases: . . ."you might feel this is grazing on your set beliefs. . ." Boy is that an understatement in my case.
I do believe that feeling your way to abundance, whether material or spiritual, is the fundamental principal behind manifesting your desires. Focusing on the positive side of everything no matter what is going on around you is key to this. I also think that a natural result of becoming a more positive person will make you more compassionate, loving and spiritual and you will naturally help others more by being that way.
What left me cold in the very first chapter are the contradictions made by the author.
EXERPT: Spirit encompasses everything that is! Everything lives within it and is a part of it. It has been called "God," "Allah," "The Force," and a multitude of other names. Essentially you are Spirit, and Spirit is you!
That said, the author goes on to make this statement only two pages later:
"Remember the law of attraction is neutral. Though you can use it to get whatever you wish for, it doesn't always give you what Spirit wishes for you."
WHAT!?!
Spirit is me and I am spirit right? So, if this is true, (and I firmly believe that it is) it is not even possible for Spirit to desire something that I myself do not desire and vice versa. In fact, spirit can not even distinguish between the reality that I imagine and the reality that I am living so how can it make choices for me? Spirit is not something outside of me that controls me and tells me what I should and should not desire or how it should be used. The job of "Spirit" is to respond to the thoughts I am thinking and make that my reality.
The word "ego" is also referred to quite a bit and the author goes on to discuss her belief that we are hear to serve others and that those with money have a moral obligation to take care of those who don't. But, if I am the creator of my world and I have money because I manifested it in my life than would it not also be true that those who do not have money have manifested that reality into their lives? My having money, a place to live, and other nice things is not depriving someone else of the opportunity to manifest those things in their life. Seems to me our obligation would be to teach them how but then again that would be forcing our beliefs on someone else.
The author is right about the law of attraction being neutral. You will manifest that which you focus upon the most and if your focus is on the lack of something rather than the abundance of it then you will continue to manifest the lack of it until you change the way you think about it.
Besides the multitude of tangents the author seems to go off on, I found it difficult to get past her own personal bias toward those who have manifested material abundance, good looking spouses (as she puts it, but isn't beauty in the eye of the beholder?), expensive cars, and houses on the beach in their lives. She did talk about being jilted by a lover who chose a woman of means over her. WOW! That explains a few things right there!
I don't imagine there are many people in this world who never think about having any of those things and what's wrong with it? Money brings freedom and having it is not depriving someone else of it. It does not mean that people who have it lead irresponsible or lackluster lives nor does it mean that we should all go live as monks in order to curb the ego from wanting it! Anyone who thinks money isn't important in this world is kidding themselves.
I found the book "Ask and It Is Given" by Jerry and Esther Hicks a far more compassionate read.
Customer Review: Wisdom and depth
Dr. Lisa Love has lovingly written a book that is a soulful, wise companion to The Secret. She believes that we must go beyond a shallow take on the Law of Attraction. This book contains wisdom and depth and as an executive and life coach who teaches clients about the Law of Attraction linked with spirituality, I recommend it. I heard Dr. Love on NPR's New Dimensions radio and several of her quotes were so memorable that I have repeated them to my coaching clients. With compassion she talks about how unkind it is to those who are ill to tell them that they created it through the Law of Attraction, although she acknowledges a strong body/mind connection. Dr. Love spoke of how a terrible tragedy to Christopher Reeves ended up bringing so much good to the world because of his choice to become a spokesman. She urges us to approach the Law of Attraction with love, wisdom and our higher selves.

The Indicator: Your Law of Attraction Quarterly No. 2
This is the second issue of The Indicator: Your Law of Attraction Quartery, the only national magazine devoted to the Law of Attraction (commonly known as The Secret). Our debut issue featured Barack Obama on the cover with the question "Can Obama Win in '08?" You know the answer to that question, and for this card-carrying LOA practitioner, his next address will likely be 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue, Washington, D.C. There's even more inspiring Law of Attraction stories in this current issue! Get on board!
