'Indy Timeline' of Upcoming Events The Other Secret
It seems the universe is kicking Rhonda Byrne's butt these days - some have called it a "karmic backlash" against the author of The Secret.In her best-selling book, Byrne writes "Nothing (good or bad) can come into your experience unless you summon it through persistent thoughts. Your thoughts are the primary cause of everything. Your current reality or your current life is a result of the thoughts you have been thinking.” In that case, Byrne's in dire need of some happy thoughts, pronto.
The Weekend Australian Magazine recently reported "'the most powerful law in the universe' seems to have gone awry, with Byrne's own former associates accusing her of fraud and hiring platoons of lawyers to pick apart the business machinations behind The Secret." Byrne responded by suing "two of the very people who were instrumental in launching her book and film The Secret to phenomenal success ... a tactic one judge has since described as vexatious and harassing."
The very long report compares snippets from the book's claims to the reality of Byrne's legal woes and growing list of enemies, "all of which seems to contradict the law of attraction – unless you believe the universe is trying to restore balance by undermining the entire glittering edifice of self-help entrepreneurialism."
Dan Hollings, a former associate "whose 'viral marketing' helped propel Byrne to global fame via Oprah" claims he wouldn't trade places with the author for any amount of money. “I just don’t think success has enriched her life," he says. "It’s like lottery winners who win the lottery and discover their life is worse and they wish they had never won.”
In an article for the Christian Professional magazine last year, Theresia Whitfield pointed out a series of problems with the teachings advanced by The Secret in how they line up with the Scriptures and with reality. [more]
