WTF: The Secret is Full of It!

How do you skillfully criticize The Secret without making it more powerful?
My answer: Conscious Hyperlinking.
Case in point: I've created a WTF (Where's the Fire) entry on Technorati.
The Secret is Full of It!
So if you have a Technorati profile, go ahead and vote for it. The hotter it gets, the better!

Just out of curiosity…
But what if The Secret acts as a gateway to a better way of thinking and acting for some people, and gives people the chance to gain not only the positivity of what it has to offer, but also gain perspective in its pitfalls? Is it not possible that The Secret offers things that you and I might come about naturally and rationally, that might be missing from someone else's way of thinking?
Then I wonder, why the deep need to crusade against it, as opposed to offering perspective?
I wonder how it would feel if someone chose to mount the same passionate crusade against Ken Wilbur and Integral theory. I wonder how it would feel to those who choose to shout his accolades and all things Integral?
If given my choice of pursuits, I personally would rather offer perspective than throwing energy into something which just might offer other people hope.
Conscious Hyperlinking - INDEED
INTEGRAL theory TRANSCENDS & INCLUDES - ALL perspectives - not just a few as Stephanie so succinctly describes elsewhere - and as such would therefore include those propounded by ALL that is The Secret.
The REAL PROBLEM - as I see IT - is that ALL of those that I have heard, met and experienced propounding The Secret - are doing so as if IT is the theory which transcends and includes everything - which IT most certainly isn't.
As always just because a million people believe in something - be it RELIGIOUS, POLITICAL or SCIENTIFIC - doesn't mean that IT is right to do so.
INTEGRITY and ALL encompassing LOVE - therefore comes to MIND and Renee's Conscious Capitalism comment seems most appropriate in the context of this discussion & what we @zaadz are presumably doing to change the world.
Even INTEGRAL theory will be transcended and included….
WELL of course so - and isn't that as much as Einstein predicted !
The advent of brave new worlds certainly presaged an era of increasing understanding
of the need to adopt different perspectives of the Space we live in.

exactly. hence the conscious choice of meta-hyperlinking to a tag rather than a specific blog post :)
~C,
Can I just take a moment to tell you how awesome your blog is? It's awesome! :)
You are like the king of hyperlinking, mah friend. When I read your blog, I feel like I'm sitting in the middle of the Dewey Decimal card filer in a library…I could potentially find resources to anything! So cool. :)
thanks,

I just wanted to add my presence here, if not my “opinion”.. I'm not sure I have anything do add that hasn't been so beautifully said already. Thank you all so much.
