According to Dr. Hew Len, Joe Vitale”s “The Attractor Factor” and Neville Goddard”s “The Law and The Promise” even “The Secret” are like stepping stones.
” People are at various steps along the path.”  This means that books and other materials speak to people where they are.
“People don’t get what they say so much as what they feel. Most people who pray don’t believe they will be heard or they will be helped. Most people pray from a place of desperation, which means they will attract more of what they are feeling: more desperation.” This statement was made by Joe Vitale in his book “Zero Limits.” Michael Tamura has a similar observation in his book “You Are The Answer”.
Martha Beck has a similar statement…”what you expect most deeply is what guides your behavior, which determines what you form.” Forming is manifesting.
