Oprah validates the concept: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rmLJ5Hjjffk&feature=related
Here at the Unity we have some fabulous visitors and some of the oddest conversations you could ever imagine - but hey - thats all part and parcel of pub life - and life certainly wouldn't be as interesting without these 'off the wall' discussions...
In early 2008 a customer asked me if i had ever heard about 'The Secret' by Rhonda Byrne. ...err nooo, should i? was my reply... "i think you should" she said, smiled and bid me a nice day and left... lol.
I was curious, of course i was... And so i started to look it up, eventually i found the dvd and the book and bought both, then watched and read both. Oh my god - have you seen it? Or read it ?? Could it be true ?
For those of you that are curious - here is a link to the YouTube 20 minute clip.... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_b1GKGWJbE8&NR=1 This will only give you an insight - if its is something you want to look deeper into, feel free to call in and i've no objection to sharing my own copy!

| Further Research |
The Secret is a best-selling 2006 self-help and spirituality book written by Rhonda Byrne. A film based on the book was released before the book in DVD format. The tenet of the book is that an individual's focused positive thinking can result in life-changing results such as increased wealth, health, happiness and more. The book achieved high sales after being featured in two episodes of Oprah, whereafter the book reached the top of the New York Times bestseller list and the film based on the book reached #1 on the sales charts on Amazon.com.
It has to be noted that there are many self help books around and indeed they have been being written for years and years... One book you might like to look at is 'The Science of Getting Rich' by Wallace D Wattles; here it is:- Here is the page link to read the actual content: http://en.wikisource.org/wiki/The_Science_of_Getting_Rich

It seems that the book cleverly named 'The Secret' (which i have to say is a very interesting book) seems to be saying that lives can and are changed by our own thought processes... For example - if we continually think in a negative format we will ultimately only attract negative things into our lives... (whoooa - scary thought)... EEK - [Note To Self: Stop Thinking!!] Oh great, now i not only need to monitor my business but my THOUGHTS as well - just spiffy! lol.
Being aware that Rhonda Byrne is a director of movies i had to look for further evidence of some of the claims made before i personally would give it any shred of credability; yes call me a cynic if you like, but you get that way when you run a pub, its called 'getting wised up' lol. (in this game you get told everything from midget gem flavoured ice cubes are kewl -to- its only 50p at the pub up the road!! oooh really................... lol.
Anyway - have a look at this.... (note: You have to be patient and see it all to understand it): http://mindmoviedownload.com/Miracles/
