Can we change our own reality by feeling different?

The Secret An internet based movie, that is getting a lot of attention these days is The Secret. The Secret is similar to What the Bleep do we Know, only it is more about how you can apply quantum theory to your life, to change your reality. The movie is a sensation, and the experts in the movie were on the Larry King Show Nov 2nd, with part 2 of their interview to air on the 16th. What are your thoughts? Can we impact our own reality by turning off the negative thoughts, and instead focusing on what we want with a 'feeling of already having' to get what we really want?

Looks like the Secret is that you need to buy expensive operating systems:
Unfortunately, the Operating System you are currently using is unsupported.
(tried to watch the trailer in Firefox, on Linux)

You can't apply quantum theory to your daily life. Anyone who says you can is a crank. Cranks inevitably find their way onto the Larry King show.

When education deteriorates, pseudo-science (as well as more literalistic forms of religion) thive.

What the Bleep do we Know was a little bit of science dressed up with a lot of hype and nonsense. Secret looks like more of the same.

Also, is this some sort of ad?

What the Bleep was pure quackery, so does that mean that this movie is as well?

The Secret is similar to What the Bleep do we Know...

The Secret is an indoctrination film for the Ramtha cult?

On preview, what eustacescrubb said.

So I have to install something called vividas player to watch this shit? The secret is, use QuickTime, fucktard pseudo-spiritualistic video trailer people. On balance, though, this is a great post.

on What the Bleep do we know Upshot: it was put out by a cult.

Larry King is an idiot who's softball interviews are like press releases made into dialog.

that's not true. obviously some people can apply quantum theory to teleport funds into their bank account.

[self-link] My review and then comments from rabid Secret-lovers and skeptics. Some are pretty funny.

Um, where is all this sensation going down? Who's heart is all atwitter that this coming out? Is there some uproar on www.UFOwoowoowoo.com I'm missing out out?

No ad here. Just a question. I'm someone who has seen both movies and who recently watched the Larry King Show. I'm a student when it comes to knowing about quantum theory. I find it facsinating myself. YouTube had the movie for free at one time, but now you got to pay $4.95. Sorry for posting something in which you would have to pay to see the movie. ( On a side note, isn't it amazing that this movie has done so well using a completely different business model? I don't think they've played in any theatres yet. It's all word of mouth).
