The secret of “The Secret” is that is contains the lie of the power of positive confession and the lies of old age paganism but it is wrapped in a nice New Age cover.

Berit Kjos — A New Mask for an Ancient Secret: “Yes, ‘The Secret’ by Rhonda Byrne teems with tempting promises and positive affirmations. But it omits all facts that could sound negative, since ‘summoning what you want’ demands an intentional focus on what’s positive. ‘The law of attraction doesn’t compute ‘don’t’ or ‘not’ or ‘no,’ or any other words of negation.'[1]

So while the next quote mentions the historical roots of this Secret, it doesn’t tell us that those roots include the ancient Egyptian mystery religions, the occult Kabbalah, Gnosticism, Rosicrucianism, and Hermetic magic. Nor does it warn us that its more recent branches include Unity,’ Science of Mind, and the ‘New Thought’ movement that swept through the Christianized world over a century ago.[4] “
