You twist and turn like a twisty turny thing

Spaceman I guess people misunderstand the message (or too lazy to critically research it) and your example clearly shows it.
What "The Secret" calls "a law of deliberate creation" is twofold: there's random stuff that happens in our lifes (creation by default) and stuff that we create through our thoughts - very similar to goal-setting and visualizing exercises described elsewhere. Good example is when you see a fight on the street it's random event - you walked into it unconsciously. The result is lose-lose - you either get crap beaten of you or beat crap out of yourself by feeling guilty about not interfering.
The idea of the law of deliberate creation is simple - have an intention of not stumbling upon situations like these and they will not happen. Well, this will not work actually - the intention should be walk through the day in a peaceful, positive fashion where everyone is nice and polite to each other. That's better!
The funny thing is that there's no need for metaphysical stuff to be involved - you reap what you saw and get what you concentrate upon and sure whatever man's mind can conceive it can achieve, right?
Thats a cop-out ....IMHO
Basically what you're saying is random stuff happens but if you want it enough you can make good stuff happen.......then any bad stuff that does happen was just a random creation caused by you not having the right mindset
So effectively what you're saying is the people here in East Timor didn't cause all the bad stuff to happen it was just created by default. Also that if some people knew about the "secret" here they could of thought happy thoughts and all of the bad stuff that happened could have been counter acted.
mmmmmmm.......what a load of old tot
Unless I misunderstand you
Would you care to explain to me,why what happened in East Timor happened as far as the "SECRET" goes?
Cheers

PS.... if the misery and suffering in East Timor is easy for you to explain away...how about some of the other places I've worked over the last few years, the Ivory Coast, Iraq, Afghanistan, Bosnia..... maybe you can explain it all to me and the two of us can think happy thoughts and bring an end to all of the suffering in the world.

I cannot explain it - neither would I try.
I know that God created man in his own image - in the image of God he created him. Which has some far-reaching consequences (unless you thing that God is uncool looking guy dressed in white and with long hair sitting on some sort of a cloud of course - then we've got a problem).
think think think - not only critically but laterally and positivelyDon't argue with idiots, they'll drag you down to their level and beat you with experience.
