- Thought-forms and Intentional Manifestations
One tenet of “The Secret” is the notion that you can influence the random events that affect your “luck” by diligently focusing your mental energies in the same positive direction by visualizing success. It is believed the focus on such success not only results in a more proactive approach that is more likely to be successful but also, that there is real power in the thought itself. (…)

- "The Secret" Parties and Seminars
Move over Tupperware – the next new thing to gather your friends together for an evening’s presentation may prove far more uplifting than scented candles or storage containers. Even those who would ridicule the tenets of The Secret can’t help but be impressed at the power of the unique business model that has sprung up around this production, building it into a people powered movement that has quickly become a household name in the US and Australia. The get-together has proven to be a very popular way for people to enjoy watching and discussing the film. (…)

- Bob Proctor – A Self-help Professional
Born in 1935 as the middle child of a modest family in northern Ontario, Canada, Robert Proctor was not an outstanding youth. Born into a worldwide depression that only gave way for a Second World War, Bob (like many of his peers) just wasn’t interested in school. As a result, he didn’t do very well, eventually dropping out after just a few months of high school. (…)

- The Power of Thought and Physics
When many people think of science, they think of boring lectures and stodgy old men. The reality of it is very different, and physics today is asking questions about the very nature of reality. This is real science the rest of us can use to make our lives better in ways you might not have thought possible.
Since the discovery of the dual nature of light in Thomas Young's 1803 "double slit experiment," physicists searched for an explanation. Just 3 years after the electron was discovered in 1897, Max Plank postulated a "granular" or quantum nature of the universe and begun the quest to understand the true nature of the very, very small.
For the next quarter century, Niels Bohr and company found explanations in the form of probability waves. Collectively they invented the new science of Quantum Mechanics that was concerned with just how such probabilities manifest as the observable universe. In short, they predicted that the probability of real, physical outcomes is based upon probability at the atomic level.
In the 1920s, the famous cat-in-a-box postulate of Erwin SchrÖdinger suggested the act of observation is required for any one of infinite possibilities to come true — some are just more likely than others. This thought experiment was instructive because it postulated that when a completely random event takes place, the act of observation is what actually made it so. In conjunction with the rapid discovery of the first batch of predicted particles after the Second World War, the evidence mounted for the chaotic nature of the smallest particles. (…)

- The Science of Getting Rich
Most people are led to believe they are powerless when it comes to their financial prospects or any other influential aspect of their lives. While many feel it is their lot to labour as wage slaves, others are frustrated in their attempts at beginning a business enterprise by what they might characterize as bad market forces. It probably hasn't occurred to them that they may possess the power necessary to sculpt the world around them through the power of thought. Surprisingly enough, there is scientific evidence from various disciplines such as botany, physics and computer science that support this conclusion. (…)
