The Secret

I am fascinated with the idea of "The Secret". Have you all heard of it? It is a movie that explains that if you visualize what you want you WILL get it. For example, there was this guy who explained how he cut out pictures of a specific house and hung it up on these dream boards and several years down the road he was unpacking old boxes and found these dream boards only to realize he was actually living in the exact house of the pictures.

Many years ago I was struggling with some issues and had written to an author(Glenna Salsbury) of a book that really helped me get through. Glenna, a strong Christian, explained the same things in her book, visualize and it will happen. In her case she did similar things, she glued pictures of things she wanted in her life in collages not overlooking any detail. An example she gave came from her pictures of diamonds and flowers. Years later she married a man who had a hobby of collecting diamonds who just so happened to love showering her with flowers all the time. She explained that no detail is too small, visualize what you want out of life and life will bring it to you in ways you would never expect.

So my question is, does this really work? Are these examples just coincidences? In both cases did these people unconsciously seek these things out or did these things come to them? Is there some unknown power that our mind has that controls the universe? If God controls the universe then is He the one giving us everything we want?

I have started my dream list already and plan on embellishing it tonight. The important step is to actually believe that it will happen. Visualize everything, down to what it will smell and feel like.
