In the secret they talk about being in alignment with what you desire. If you desire wealth, stealing wouldn't be an option. If you desire to be in a good relationship with your family, friends and community, you would not kill people for their transgressions.

What most self improvement guru's do is to extract from other writings to make it sound secular or make it sound New Age. There is no New Age it is only a repackaging of what is tried and true.
