Chris WilliamsonHOST
There is no reason not to believe this.
Chris WilliamsonHOST
So I was really, really averse to the whole Rhonda Byrne, the secret woo, sending out messages to the universe.
Chris WilliamsonHOST
And David positions himself very anti that as well in the book.
Chris WilliamsonHOST
But you can't deny the fact that the positive thinking has a real physiological impact on what you do.
Susie HarrisGUEST
We have to allow it in.
Ben HardyHOST
When you do this mindset coaching and you start to dive into the work of like Rhonda Byrne and The Secret and all the folks who preceded and followed.

Susie HarrisGUEST
Yeah.
Susie HarrisGUEST
But don't park there.
Ben HardyHOST
I want to go back real quickly to this idea of attaching emotion to your vision, that this is like taking the Rhonda Byrne, the secret idea and just maybe going the next level.
Ben HardyHOST
When you think about a vision, you're thinking about the things that you want.

Rhonda Byrne, she's an Australian, and she was learning all about the law of attraction, so how the power of your mind can draw things to you.
EmilyHOST
You can literally attract everything and anything into your world.
Hank HanegraaffHOST
And it is the idea that thought's create reality, and therefore through the power of positive thinking you can manipulate your environment and your circumstances to your own benefit.
Hank HanegraaffHOST
So Allen adopted the metaphysical mind science philosophical concept that thoughts create reality, and these are the same kinds of things that have been repackaged for consumption in our epoch of time by people like Rhonda Byrne and The Secret, and then in the Christian community by people like Joel Osteen.
Hank HanegraaffHOST
So yes, it is the idea that whatever you think becomes a tangible reality.
Hank HanegraaffHOST
In fact, Joel Osteen says it this way, the moment you speak something out, you give birth to it.
Hank HanegraaffHOST
There is no exception.
Hank HanegraaffHOST
In other words, he was making the point that thoughts create reality, and therefore the real blame goes to the individual because their thoughts create their own realities.
Hank HanegraaffHOST
If you want to be thin, Rhonda Byrne in The Secret says, think.
Hank HanegraaffHOST
think thin thoughts and don't even look at fat people.
