The Secret: It's an enticing offer: "Fragments of a great secret have been found in the oral traditions, in literature, in religions and philosophies throughout the centuries. For the first time, all the pieces of The Secret come together in an incredible revelation that will be life-transforming for all who experience it." Rhonda Byrne's The Secret is currently #2 at Amazon.com, just behind only the new Harry Potter. The Speculist offers a cynical take on the idea that our thoughts create reality. The Bear thinks we get everything we wish for, but it never turns out quite like we imagine. [The Speculist] 8:06:39 AM

A New Theory of the Universe: Robert Lanza, VP of science research and development at Advanced Cell Technology, holds to a biocentric view of the universe, in which our perception of the world around us is mediated by our central nervous system. Quantum theory suggests that observation physically alters the world in fundamental ways. We cannot separate ourselves -- the observers -- from the observed phenomena around us, and so everything we know about the world is intimately linked to our biology of perception. In some measure, our biologic-based modes of sense perception create all the world we know of. [The American Scholar via Wired News] 6:56:40 AM
