The moment I heard about the publicity surrounding ‘The Secret’, I knew I had to make a decision and either do something about it and follow through with my hunch or just sit tight and zip my lips. On the one hand, it was good to know that the possibility for people to make significant changes to the way they live was being encouraged. I’m all for that. No doubt about it.

On the other hand, I recoiled at the thought that some people might mistake the satisfaction of desire for change and subsequently presume that they were hooking up with their spiritual nature. Let’s get something clear: the satisfaction of desire and the implementation of strategies to enable change, are two different things.

Weighing it up, I had to respond or risk not being true to myself and suffer the consequences of not speaking my mind. From out of this, ‘The Danger of the Secret’ was born. I sat down once my mind was made up and then identified and evaluated all of the obvious contradictions and erroneous applications – at least as far as I could see. ‘The Danger of the Secret’ shows you what these are and how to rectify them.

In the same breath, I also realised that it’s not just about me. There are simply far too many people out there whose lives are at stake. Good people with sincere intentions to live honestly and lovingly. It’s a shame to see people such as this tricked by marketing hype and showbiz fanfare! People should be well informed about what they are getting into. That’s why ‘The Danger of the Secret’ is useful and beneficial.

Don’t get me wrong. I’m not saying that the creators of the hype are evil or that everyone is getting ripped off. There is some good stuff there – for sure. It’s true that the mind is a powerful tool. Yes, we do attract whatever it is that shows up in our lives. Yes, we tend to be very negative about everything and are prone to getting weighed down by the struggles of daily life. However, wishing, wanting, and hoping for things to turn out in a particular way is asking for trouble – especially, if you haven’t considered the consequences. ‘The Danger of the Secret’ clarifies the matter, once and for all.

What I’m actually saying is that desire is dangerous! Without precise and careful interpretation and guidance, mistakes can easily be made – some bigger than others – unless desire is recognised for what it really is. Mistakes come with a price. As ‘The Danger of the Secret’ points out, if the principles are not correctly understood, they cannot be implemented accurately. A famous sage once put it this way: ‘One mistake makes for a big miss!’

‘The Danger of the Secret’ has been written to forestall potential danger for those keen to change their lives and do something bold and passionate with the resources they have at their disposal.
