I agree with you pure, and surely this is the opposite of what the book says? Some quotes I found include:
"Your thoughts are the primary cause of everything. Everything else you see and experience in this world is effect, and that includes your feelings.*The cause is always your thoughts.
"Nothing can come into your experience unless you summon it *through persistent thoughts."
"Just*like the law of gravity, the law of attraction never slips up."
"We've got a*thousand different diagnoses and diseases*out there. They're just the weak link.* They're all the result of one thing: stress." *
"When patients think and truly believe the tablet [placebo] is a cure,*they will receive what they believe, and they will be cured."
To me this sounds like our thoughs are the cause (and cures) of all illness. And everything is written as an 'absolute truth', as reliable as gravity(!)
I feel like this is where it crosses the line of just mainting a 'positive' outlook on life, and claims to be something very different.
If we conclude that thinking positively can only help us change the things that we can control, then what exactly is 'law' of attraction?
I read about experients about thinking about yellow cars, I read an almost identical example in some phycholgy book years ago. It was explained that as your senses are constantly bombared with information every second, your brain has to filter out that information, so if for example you are thinking about buying a yellow car, then you will probably keep noticing yellow cars!
When I saw the dvd, I remeber them making all sorts of claims about the 'law of attraction' and quantum physics. If it is as scientific as it claims then surely those claims should be challenged?
