Are you asking me specifically or was that directed at everyone in general? With subjects like this, I personally think it's more than a matter of simply reading or viewing something, it's a person actually being open to what they are reading or viewing.
Since this thread was originally about The Secret, it reminded me of one person in particular (on another message board) who also brought up the book awhile back. She went on and on about how great the book was, how much it had impacted her personally, and how she felt it had changed her life on so many different levels, but afterwards, when discussing other topics related to the message board topic itself, she continued to display the same petty and self-centered tendencies that she'd become well known for before ever reading The Secret. Like it's sometimes said, it's one thing to know the path, it's another thing to walk the path.
