Questions about perceived inconsistencies

Yet in the Secret, if we're > visualizing/fantasizing about "the future" (a Ferrari, a million > $$, or soulmate) doesn't that take us into fantasy and not reality, > not the present moment?

The idea is to bring the feelings associated with those visualization INTO the Now moment, and not project them into the future, and certainly not mentally label them as fantasy. To bring yourself into alignment with something you must focus your feelings in the Now. This is not really an inconsistency at all.

>I've learned through my yoga practice that we should not deny >feelings (feel mad, sad, glad... don't deny feelings); yet the >Secret seems to be saying "as soon as you have a "negative emotion" >change it. Isn't that denying the human experience and totality >of emotions we will feel?

That's overstating it a bit. The negative emotions are most definitely there for a reason. They are our guidance that we are out of alignment with what brings us joy. We use those feelings to alert us that a change needs to be made in our vibrational state if we are going to realign with well-being.

>And finally, if, for example I have a fearful thought about being >poor, "I don't want to be poor" -- why would the universe, with all >its intelligence and power, mistake or misinterpret that thought >for the very opposite -- "I want to be poor" -- How could the most >intelligent energy source completely misconstrue that???

It has nothing at all to do with the words you use. It's not so much that the Universe doesn't "hear the word don't". It's that YOU are in a vibrational state of feeling poor if you're telling yourself that you don't want to be, and as long as that's the state you're in, that is what you will attract.

These are all great questions, and very common one's for people who are just getting introduced to the Law of Attraction, or at least just starting to get more intentional about implementing the principles.
