    Haven't any of you read "The Secret". It's about asking "the universe" for things, and actually it's helped a few people in my family. Not sure if I believe it myself, but whatever works for oneself, wouldn't you say?
    You're spelling is effecting me so much. Im trying not to be phased by it but your all making me loose my mind on mass!! My head is loosing it's hair. I'm going to take myself off the electoral role like I should of done ages ago and move to the Caribean. I already brought my plane ticket, all be it a refundable 1.
  • beats me why the bank are crediting your a/c with unident funds.. surely that breaches the money laundering laws?

    Do you mean this The Secret (http://www.skepdic.com/lawofattraction.html)?

    I guess you could argue that if it makes some people feel happier then its not a bad thing. On the other hand you could also argue that someone's making a lot of money out of people who are willing to believe anything. Personally I'm against anything that tries to stifle critical thinking and drag us back to the dark ages.

    As far as the OP goes, at the end of the day, someone deposited money into the OP's account (I doubt that the "universe" has its own bank account). If the money was intended for the OP, tracing it back to the person who deposited it to verify the transaction should not make any difference. If it wasn't intended for the OP, they must return it.
    Let's settle this like gentlemen: armed with heavy sticks

    And you're Peter Duncan; I gave you fair warning

    This is the one I mean:

    I agree with the positive thinking aspect and the writing your goals down aspect. The rest of it is a nice theory, but I think it stops there :-)

    Anyway, sorry for distracting everyone from the original post!
