I think it's a bit weird and fascinating how everybody's talking about "The Secret". Oprah's been pushing it big time and just about everywhere you turn you hear someone mentioning or making fun of "The Secret". From the little I casually gathered, I thought it was the latest pop psychology trend that reiterates the typical assertions about the importance of positive thought and action.

What I didn't know is that it's supposedly the teachings of non-physical entities speaking through human channelers that assert there's a God in us all. This is some pretty wacky stuff! All this talk of "vibrations", "wave lengths", and "consciousness" sounds like some silly hippie talk. But is it? Oprah obviously feels it's legitimate. What do you think? Have the kooks succeeded in converting the confused? Or is there something more to it all?

I like to think about how this relates to art. The idea of channeling sounds crazy... but I think the concepts behind it are not too far off from true artistic exploration. But I'm still not sure if "The Secret" dialogue is anything more than taking some decent concepts and perverting them for financial gain.
