Thinking positively is good but that is not the same thing as believing the secret, which is what I'm attacking. It's like when you the hear people saying 'the Kray twins might have been psychopathic murdering crimelords, but they loved their mum and that's something we can all learn from', whereas the OP is more like just saying 'we should all follow the example of the Kray twins'.

There are plenty of sources we can turn to that promote positive thinking without the crazy and dangerous shit this is preaching. Try Napoleon Hill's Think and Grow Rich, a classic in the field.

The bible has some positive messages mixed in with the racism, homophobia, incitement to war, contradictions, mechanisms of control, nonsensical ontology etc. etc. Overall it is more harmful to believe the bible than not believe it, so I'm not about to promote it to others without caveating heavily that on the whole it is false and dangerous to believe in. In fact I wouldn't even promote it with caveats, I'd direct people to something with a positive message without the bullshit.


Peace,

kowalski
