Calling Things into Existence is 'The Secret to Teen Power'

As I was shopping in Costco this week I was browsing the book section, like I always do, when I came across a brand new one in the kids section that made me gasp. It was called The Secret to Teen Power. It's a teen version of the international bestseller, The Secret, and like it's forerunner it is based on 'the law of attraction.' This law is based on the idea that "everything and everyone in the universe is energy, and our thoughts put out a vibration, attracting things to us like a magnet." (1)

The Secret to Teen Power, which is also being published in Spanish and French, is written by Paul Harrington (producer of the film version of The Secret). The Secret to Teen Power youtube clip has already had over 11,000 views in one week.

Here's what the publisher says:

"With The Secret to Teen Power, Paul's dream is that teens around the world will understand the power they have in their hands to create their lives, and that they too can choose their life by choosing their thoughts. Paul wants teens to know that they can have, do, or be anything. And he can only imagine what this knowledge will do for teens just beginning to make their own choices and plans."

This strangely reminds me of the fictional energy ribbon from Star Trek Generations called The Nexus. When inside the nexus, the only thought one can think of is joy, for when within the nexus reality forms it self according to the wants of the one within (Star Trek Wiki).

Isn't that just great. Now we'll have a pile of teens thinking they can speak things into existence - like God. Nothing new here. Genesis 3:5 also comes to mind.

Both The Secret and The Secret to Teen Power are easily recognized as they have the familiar red seal stamped on their front covers, however, it is my personal opinion that a more appropriate choice would have been a red flag.
