THE SECRET was the author's 5th attempt to demonstrate a scientific discovery which has the power to prevent what no one wants; war, crime, and many other evils plaguing mankind. Very few people when first reading Chapter One, which follows, will believe these changes possible. However, mathematical proof is undeniably established as the text is read and understood. The problem of responsibility, the problem of reconciling the belief that people are responsible for what they do with the apparent fact that humans do not have free will because their actions are causally determined is an ancient and enduring philosophical puzzle. This longstanding conflict in the free will/determinism debate has caused a rift in philosophical circles which makes this perplexing conundrum appear insolvable. It is important to bear in mind that definitions mean nothing where reality is concerned unless they reflect what is actually going on in reality. This is a crucial point since the reconciliation of these two opposing thought systems (while proving determinism true and free will false) is THE SECRET that opens the door to a new world of peace and brotherhood.Before starting, I would like to clarify a few things.

The author used dialogue as a way to make the book as reader-friendly as possible, as these concepts may feel foreign at first. Please be aware that he used humor in his writing as a form of comic relief. This should not detract from the seriousness of the subject matter. The word God is used throughout the book which is a metaphor for the laws that govern our universe. This is not a religious work. I would also like to clarify his use of certain terminology. For example, the word "mathematical" is used throughout the book which, in this context, only means undeniable. In the chapter on marriage there is some sexually explicit language.

This is an adult book and therefore should not be read by anybody who may be offended.
