The Secret
The Truth Behind The Lie of the Century

by Kevin Hogan

Priming and the Brain

If I say George Washington...then ask you to write down the name of a man, most people write down the name of a historical figure in American History....like Thomas Jefferson or Ben Franklin.

if I say Jesus, Christians tend to write one word names like, Paul, John, Mark, Matthew, Thomas.

That's one kind of priming.

Is the photograph in the pizza pan Mary the Mother of Jesus?

Obviously not, but millions will tell you it is, because it "looks just like her," except we haven't a clue what she looked like. Not a clue in the world. But we are primed by the thought of having TV, cell phones that take pictures, you name it....and never remember that there were no images of people in those days painted or drawn by Jews.

And are they the bones of Jesus family?

Why Jesus the son of Joseph and Mary, and not one of thousands of other families? The probability is so tiny it's barely worth looking at. (And yes they should look and check it out)

Now you take all this DaVinci-esque cool stuff and pop it on the cover of THE SECRET and you are primed to BELIEVE.

To say this is brilliant marketing is to fall short. It is beyond brilliant. Byrne, this TV producer with no thought or care for humanity and the human condition certainly can make a quality production. She understands how mainstream women think. She has captured it brilliantly.

And the marketers out there hawking the book did a great job. The best amazon promo I've ever seen.

But really, I am thankful that The Secret is a Lie, The Secret isn't anything close to a physical law like gravity.......

.... because if it were true, I would have the ability to cause people's death just by thinking about it...worse...they could cause mine....or I could cure people just by thinking about it...or worse...they could give me some horrible disease by using their thoughts to manipulate the physical universe....

Which of course is one step short of insanity...or every plane that went up would crash and every person with a fear of heights would fall to their death.

Those with a fear of spiders or snakes would attract thousands of them to theatrical terror.

Now STOP.

Can simply dwelling on something bring it to fruition?
