i first heard about this from oprah winfrey..she introduced this book "a new earth" by eckhart tolle..i read it and it was an eye-opener..then i was able to watch oprah (again..) talk about "the Secret" book by rhonda byrne on the larry king show..i got hold of an audio book of "the secret".. i listened to it and i found myself so attuned..then i borrowed this book called "the alchemist" by paolo coelho and it actually talks about the same thing with "the secret"..there was a chapter/paragraph in "a new earth" that also tackles about what "the secret" wants to tell us...after much contemplation, i really believe in what these books say but they are somehow inclined to atheism and polemics.. im on the verge of being an atheist..i want to go back to my faith but physics and biological evolution convinces me more than the concept of creationism..new age philosophy books really are eye-openers...

There are more of these things, whether in books or on audio or in discussion groups, than anyone could ever count. New Age philosophies abound, and, although I've studied literally thousands of them, I've never found one that advocates atheism. On the contrary, most enhance faith. Maybe a bit more study would help you sort it all out. Read on, friend!

There are literally thousands! Deepak Chopra and Wayne Dwyer have collaborated on a couple of books you'd probably find enlightening and quite enjoyable. They'd be a good place to start. Happy questing!
