NONSENSE!

I can't believe the absolute nonsense that I just read in an email designed to get me to buy some "secret revealed" program. Why does quantum mechanics get used like some explanation of magic? This email tried to tell me that quantum mechanics really provides a scientific explanation for "the law of attraction". Even if there were some mystery about the law of attraction -nobody needs quantum mechanics to explain it. I'm quite sure quantum mechanics has only one connection to the world of thought and that is through chemistry- it is a great way to approach chemistry. The law of attraction on the other hand is not misunderstood because it takes quantum mechanics to understand it. It is misunderstood because people want to believe in nonsense. In reality -if you spend your time thinking about something you really want to see happen it still doesn't happen until you DO something to make it happen. The real law of attraction is a law of action--stuff happens when you are out there making it happen. The guys that worked out quantum mechanics were out there making it happen -that was a real creative process of mistakes and triumphs -not some discovery about magic! When you translate your thoughts into action (and what other actions will you have?) then you reap the rewards for those thoughts --and like it or not, most of those rewards will fall short of your desires so --here is the real secret ---keep acting and correcting your actions until you get the result you want! Stop believing in magic since that prevents correct actions.
