The best seller “The Secret”, written in 2006, created a totally new movement of thought amongst personal improvement supporters. Followed by a movie with the same name, it became a worldwide best – seller gathering thousands and thousands of people interested in how to put to practice “The Law of Attraction”. Thoughts create things, this is the main line of this current of thinking, where we are the solos creators of our own reality.
Apart the incredible marketing phenomenon of the movie, the real benefits are that a lot of focus has been given to the relationship between mind – reality, with some interesting points on science, in particular quantum physics.
I found out that the origins of these concepts lie in inspired writings older than one hundred years.
William Atkinson is not a well known author, at least in the jungle of the World Wide Web, but he can be considered as one of the fathers of “The Law of Attraction” and the first correlations between science and spirituality.
I found this book of immense wisdom, and I hope it will be of some enlightening to you.
I have just downloaded the book and as you say, it is indeed amazing that the new fad is just reinventing the wheel! It is a book that I shall read again and again. Thank you.
