No. The path of 'no-self' is no secret. It's part of what it means to be human; in fact it IS the path that leads to true humanity. Jesus was correct is stating there is 'only one way', but people don't want to hear that message. It's the 'addicts curse', meaning- no addict wants to be without his/her drug(s); therefore has no 'eyes or ears' for the truth.
Anyone who practices 'attraction' will find they are still stuck in their mental world-view, or 'Samsara' in Buddhist terms. As long as what they want (take note of the taint of desire) comes to them, they will remain stuck in that mental world-view. What one thinks is not WHAT IS; and suffering comes from being disconnected from WHAT IS. Buddhism gets immediately to the solution- 'Life is suffering and there is a cure' (The 4 Noble Truths.) That cure is RELEASE from the limiting mental world-view.
"The law of attraction" doesn't care if you are an addict. The focus is limited to what you want; and getting it. But, if you want to find Peace, Joy (not the same as what is normally called happiness) and Freedom, you'll need to find your TRUE NATURE and leave behind the search for what you want. Desire and it's fulfillment IS what kills (the true and fulfilled human).
Here's a quote from one of the master teachers (this passage has been edited for clarity. Please read it in it's entirety, for MORE wisdom sayings- Mt6.25-34)
DO NOT WORRY (Jesus)
Mt 6.25 "Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or drink; or about your body, what you will wear. Is not life more important than food, and the body more important than clothes?
Mt 6.31 So do not worry, saying, 'What shall we eat?' or 'What shall we drink?' or 'What shall we wear?'
Mt 6.32 ...your heavenly Father knows that you need them.
Mt 6.33 But seek first his kingdom..., and all these things will be given to you as well.
Mt 6.34 Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own.
