“The Secret” is hot. Why  not? It teaches you how to get rich! It’s not just getting rich but getting what you want.

The book is for sale but there are some videos and e-books that can tell you somehow the gist of the secret. You can have them yourself by going to the secret treasures. I’ve actually used the wallpaper entitled ‘I Promise Myself’ that’s actually the optimist’s creed by Christian D. Larson. I’m an optimist by nature so I loved it.

The gist is you can attract what you desire (getting rich, getting healthy) by being optimistic, believing it will happen and never allowing any negativity around and in you. I don’t see anything wrong with that. That is right.

What’s wrong then?

It dwelt TOO MUCH on SELF-reliance. (Where does relying on God come in?)

It gives you the idea that being poor is bad. (Has the author heard of ‘enduring unto the end’ and ‘trials’ that build a person’s godly character?)

It gives you the idea that you can get anything. (Is it God’s will, though?)

Christ even said that it is easier for a camel to enter the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter the Kingdom of God!

This secret is subtle. Just like when the serpent told Eve, “You will not surely die.” Yes, they did not die that moment but “sin is the transgression of the law” and “the wages of sin is death.” Death was only lifted up when Christ died for our sins. That gave us the opportunity to have eternal life. Without Christ, it would have been eternal death. The serpent was subtle….and so is this book.

Not all riches is good. Not all knowledge is good. You have to know how to discern otherwise you will fall in the same pit the first Adam fell into.
