Just How Secret is The Secret?

One man wrote the I-Ain't-No-Wimp-Give-It-To-Me-Straight Doctor and asked: "What is the absolutely most disturbing description you could give of someone pursuing The Secret but never experiencing it?" And the Doctor replied, "How about being engaged in sexual intercourse for infinity without ever reaching a climax?" And the man wrote back, "Well...perhaps not the absolutely most disturbing..."

As Masters said to Johnson (as she was removing that reflective rubber suit he liked so much), "Seems a shame that man's mental operations are not similar to his sexual ones which, when they seek something, can fully enjoy finding it."

If you take the hoopla, the razzle-dazzle, the promises, and self-promotion out of a mystical system, what will you have left?  The same thing you had to begin with: a sham mystical system.

After pondering an item read earlier in The Daily News, a viewer faxed the I-Know-That-You'll-Be-Easy-With-Me Doctor and asked:
"Well, if one does not engage in 'ancestor worship,' then just how is one going to go about thinking?"
(But inasmuch as the doctor seemed disinclined on this occasion to be very gentle in his response, I don't think I'll tell you what it was.)

Tip Time Again:

The Secret is not hidden over in the departments of Philosophy or Theology.

Just how secret is The Secret:

Well, every day, ordinary men stumble over it, and in fact sometimes unknowingly laugh at it.

So, just how secret is The Secret:

Well, every day, ordinary men stumble over it, and in fact often unknowingly curse it.
