He was trying to use fiction not only to tell a story, but to parallel his own spiritual development," said Paine. But some have not reacted well to Salerno's project.
Though he claims to have interviewed as many as people, Salinger's son, Matthew Salinger, told the New York Times recently that his father's inner circle of friends numbered just a few and none had co-operated with the project. That comment has drawn a swift rebuttal. In a statement, the Weinstein company said Salerno had gained "unprecedented access" to people around Salinger.

The question of how? Well, Secreteers simply say that it's not your job to wonder why—that's the job of "the universe.

Add to this mind-manipulation-montage a myriad more Secreteers investing vivid visualizations to be booked on Oprah: Hence, does Oprah simply exist to be everyone else's booking-puppet , or can Oprah use The Secret too? Is it possible for Oprah to "attract" who she wants to appear on her show? Can Oprah "imagine" certain people away from her show? Now remember, the Law of Attraction supposedly works like gravity; this means that hundreds of thousands of people who visualize appearances on Oprah people who correctly apply the principles of The Law of Attraction should expect the universe to provide.
Again, what we have here is a massive logistical mess for scheduling guest appearances on Oprah!
