Changing your thinking does not change the quantum states of objects around you in any reliable, useful way. No mystical vibrations affect your surroundings. No electromagnetic waves emanate from your head, magically transforming the universe. Changing your perception, your focus, your emotions and your thinking from negative to positive (from what you lack to what you want) has an effect on your internal state – your motivation, energy and creativity and that’s why you may then be more efficient working towards your goals. The upshotīut this is my point: Changing your thinking changes nothing out there, in the vast universe surrounding you. That seems to me to be a very mechanical, shallow, self-serving description of the universe. Almost as if the universe is a big vending machine: Insert sincere wish here, pull out cold coke (or shiny new Ferrari) here.
#PRIMARY QUOTE FROM THE BOOK THE GO GETTERS MOVIE#
5: The movie claims that the universe will provideīut my greatest beef with the movie is the claim that whatever you sit down and imagine in this way, the universe will provide. “hijacking the terminology of modern science without understanding the underlying concepts or employing any of the intellectual rigour intrinsic to scientific inquiry”.

I happen to have studied a lot of quantum physics at university, and I can safely say that the explanations offered in the movie are a prime example of what Murray Gell-Mann called quantum flapdoodle, i.e. The movie also offers explanations from quantum physics as evidence of why TLoA works. There are many things wrong with this assertion, primarily the fact that while thoughts are, at least in part, electromagnetic waves, there is no scientific indication that our brain waves alter the world around us in any meaningful way. In some of the cases, this wave is seen to spread over the entire Earth. The movie repeatedly shows people who, as they visualize their goals, generate a wave or signal that emanates from their heads. The movie claims that since thoughts are electromagnetic waves, every thought we have spreads to and affects our surroundings, and this is why our thinking affects the universe. 3: The movie talks about electromagnetic waves/vibrations as the explanation for TLoA No proof of this is offered and to the best of my knowledge, no conscious effort has ever been made to keep TLoA secret. Scenes are shown of people being persecuted for trying to steal the secret and (I assume) bring it out to the rest of us. The movie also claims that the people in power in society and business have long known of this law and worked to keep it from the rest of us. 2: The movie claims that TLoA is kept secret However, the movie offers no proof that any of these people knew of, agreed with or used the law of attraction. The movie indicates that a number of famous people knew “the secret”, including Einstein, Plato, Newton and Edison. These are my major beefs with the movie: 1: The movie claims that famous people knew “the secret” Simply stated, it is the belief that what you focus on is what you get (or create for yourself), and there is some truth to that - but not for any of the mystical reasons claimed in this terrible movie. Feel what you would feel if you were in that situation. Instead of always complaining about being poor and always focusing on what you don’t have, TLoA says that you should visualize yourself as rich. The arguments and explanations put forward in The Secret are generally unscientific, mystical, nonsensical or just plain wrong.īut first, what is The Law of Attraction (TLoA)? Let’s say you’re poor and really want to be rich.

There are things in this movie that need a rebuttal and I haven’t found one elsewhere – so here’s mine. Object.I recently saw the movie The Secret, a pseudo-documentary that explains The Law of Attraction.
