My point is, unless he regrew a kidney or willed cancer away after watching the DVD, there was nothing in there that he couldn't have gleaned from The Little Engine That Could.

It would be AWESOME if all it took to make life amazingly wonderful was just thinking it would be amazingly wonderful. Really, truly having unlimited happiness and health would be fantastic beyond the telling of it. But it's not possible, and believing in it doesn't make it so. The problem with "THE SECRET!!!!!" is that it gives people in dire circumstances false hope that can lead to terrible consequences ("Who needs medicine? I'm doing great just thinking positively!").

If Ali wants to believe following the Flying Spaghetti Monster's set of rules for attaining success are what led him to where he is today, fine. Maybe it's true. But I'd prefer to give credit to Ali for doing what he needed to do to make it happen rather than saying it was all in the vibrations.
