The Secret is Out

Dear Rami,
Thank you so much for the excellent, on target, article about The Secret. You nailed it. I bet you got a lot of negative feedback.

Thanks, Joy. I'm glad you liked the essay. I got more negative feedback on that piece than on anything else I have ever written. I felt bad about being the catalyst for such anger and hatred, especially when the people expressing those feelings believe they are only attracting those very same feelings into their own lives. The irony provided me no comfort.
The sad lesson of the attack of the Secreteers is this: while religions promise us peace, when believers are confronted with disbelief most will respond with fear, anger, and, when they can, violence. This doesn't bode well for the evolution of our species or the future well-being of our planet.

the secret is out!
thanks so much for clarifying what i thought in my heart about this book. You really hit the nail on the head with your clear explinations.
The universe is not a genie and we are responsable.
thanks again for a clear sounding word.

Thank-You for posting the link! I have a great respect for Rabbi Rami, I was very interested in reading his perspective on The Secret.
While I don't completely agree with Rabbi Rami's perspective on The Secret, I don't understand why anyone would verbally attack him. It is very sad that, when some people are confronted with a view different from their own, they respond on the lowest level! And so ironic that no matter what religious or spiritual affiliation these people might align themselves with, it goes against the point to an extreme!
Keep-Up the great work Rabbi Rami! I am new to your writing, but I really connect with your responses!
blessings,
angel of light

Please allow me the information on locating this article, also. I've been a member for about 20 minutes, now, but this article sounds like it has documentation of aware nesses I've had no language for. In advance, thank you so much.
