She believes that thoughts are magnetic, emitting a positive or negative frequency. “Like attracts like” – so envisioning riches will actually bring you wealth. This is the law of attraction in a nutshell – if you think it, it will happen. Once the money is gone, their fear disappears as well, and they are able to focus on rebuilding their fortune. People lose money because they allow “fearful thoughts of losing wealth to enter their minds,” causing their fears to be realized. She argues this is due to the law of attraction. People often accumulate great wealth only to lose their fortune and gain it again in cycles. The Secret Chapter 1: The Secret Revealed Byrne even proposes that too much negative thinking can put you in the path of a natural disaster or terrorist attack. On the flip side, dwelling on war and poverty will only perpetuate these evils. In this fashion, your mind can bring you anything you desire – dream of a new house, and somehow, someway, it will come to you. Each thought sends out a signal, which is turn gathers similar frequencies – due to the law of attraction – before returning back to you.

Instead, Byrne writes, “Your life right now is a reflection of your past thoughts.”Īccording to Byrne, the mind is a magnet, emitting and receiving frequencies to and from the Universe. Hence the importance of positive thinking. Likewise, fretting over a worst-case scenario will only cause your fears to be realized. The book is based on a pseudo-scientific theory called the “law of attraction” – the principle that “like attracts like.” Specifically, Byrne focuses on the idea that your dreams do in fact come true – thinking about money and wealth will attract these very things, causing them to manifest in your life.
