In other words, the validity of the scientific method itself is unprovable by science, as is any appeal to pragmatism unprovable by pragmatic value. You too are taking a leap of faith with your belief in these things (not that there is anything wrong w/that or anything wrong with belief and faith as this is shared by all human beings!)

It's about changing the limited belief located in the subconscious mind and that requires constant effort. The result cannot be seen instant but it will show up if the person keep doing it. Law of Attraction requires proper mindset to see it happen in the way the person wanted. Well, it’s not about repeating affirmation.

You can believe it, but not prove it. This is a problem for pragmatic skeptics like me who demand scientific proof.

When you scratch below the surface, the advocates and practitioners of The Secret are teaching a new age spiritualism, and it is based on a type of faith. Substitute Universe for God. And for them, this is a great one because compared to onerous Old Time Religion, The Secret is all about you, gratifying your desires, getting what you want. Hey, what's not to like, right? As it is, they capitalized on it. If you can capitalize on the momentum with a contrarian view, go for it. As it is, the Secret's True Believers will not be dissuaded by studies, because underlying it is a form of faith-based belief that defies science. It merely shrouds itself in pseudo science referencing highfalutin terms to sell itself to people who are willing to accept the faith. One man's opinion.
