The Secret, A Documentary

[Summer]

Here are some quotes from The Secret, a new documentary that is out. I have heard so much about it, and really want to see it. It is about how we manifest what we think literally.

The Secret video is about The Law of Attraction.

91. And allow the world as others choose to see it, exist as well
92. People think that if everyone knows the power of the LOA there won't be enough to go around .. This is a lie that's been ingrained in us and makes so many greedy
93. The truth is there is more than enough love, creative ideas, power, joy, happiness to go around
94. All of this abundance begins to shine through a mind that is aware of it's own infinite nature. There's enough for everyone. See it. Believe it. It will show up for you
95. So let the variety of your reality thrill you as you choose all the things you want. Get behind the good feelings of all your wants
96. Write your script. When you see things you don't want, don't think about them, write about them, talk about them, push against them, or join groups that focus on them. Remove your attention from don't wants and place it on do wants
97. We are mass energy. Everything is energy. EVERYTHING
98. Don't define yourself by your body. You are an infinite being that's connected to everything in the universe
99. Our bodies have distracted us from our energy. We are the infinite field of unfolding possibilities
100. Are your thoughts worthy of you? If not, NOW is the time to change them. You can begin right were you are, right now. Nothing matters but this moment and what you are focusing your attention.

[Creator]

Interesting! I'd very much like to watch that.

[Summer]

Since I finally watched The Secret 5 days ago, I have lost 8 pounds without really trying. All I have been doing is believing that I am thin again all day every day, and it has been working for me. True, I haven't been eating much at all, but I haven't been in the mood to eat. It is really working for me! ;D

[Thorn]

I just watched it last night. I can't say I was terribly impressed.

There was some useful information about visualization and the power of the mind buried under all the new age pop psychology, but nothing one couldn't find from a hundred other sources.

My initial reaction when they first revealed the secret was: "You're talking about sympathetic magic? Oh yeah, that's been well hidden, alright." Nothing I saw in the remaining 90 minutes changed that. *shrug*

Still, it has reminded me of some things I already knew, and inspired me to work on my inner dialog and do some visualizations/affirmations. So not a complete waste of time.

[Summer]

Yes, it is the same thing that I have been studying for the past 21 years myself, Thorn. The reason I am so impressed by it is because the way the information is put together is excellent for beginners, those who haven't been studying ways to better thier lives for so long. Those who haven't been studying magic.

My life partner Dean finally watched it a couple of days ago and actually took notes, LOL! I was impressed with the way it reached him. He really needs something more simple like this to get him motivated to change his life for the better.

As for me, it was a great reminder of everything that I already knew. And it seems to get me excited to the point that I want to really try again. So I am going to be watching it on a regular basis in order to keep my enthusiasm level up myself.

[Thorn]

Debbie - To each their own, of course, and I'm glad this is a help for you and Dean! I certainly am not going to judge those who got something different from the movie than I did!

My main problems with the Secret were these:

1. I have to disagree with you about this being a good piece for beginners. There's too much garbage to dig through. If you don't already know some of what to look for, how do you tell what's of value and what's rubbish? Also, no amount of positive thinking is going to make life as easy as they make it sound. I think it's a little irresponsible to lead people to believe it is.

2. The "there's this great and powerful secret to the effortlessly perfect life that THEY have been hiding from you for thousands of years" angle so rubbed me the wrong way. It's like they're cashing in on the Da Vinci Code craze. They can't have hidden it very well if you and I stumbled across it at, what, 15? I am incredibly skeptical of any and all conspiracy theories. (Unless they involve George W. Bush. )

3. This is a subjective one but I firmly believe that not only is there darkness in this life as well as light, it's better for us that there is. Rejecting all negativity is rejecting an important part of who we are. Wallowing in misery is denying the joy that life can bring, but adopting a Pollyanna attitude is also living in denial. The way to peace lies in balance.

4. I also got a very "blame the victim" feeling from the piece. If what happens to us in our life is our own doing, how is that different from telling a rape victim she was "asking for it?" Just instead of blaming the miniskirt she's wearing, you're blaming her negative thoughts? Is the child who is being abused to blame for attracting that?

5. A lot of their interviewees (is that even a word?) just screamed "Flake!!!!" (It's really hard to take a guy seriously who lists "Visionary" as his job title.)

Did you see any of these problems, and if so, did the film address them to your satisfaction?

[Thorn]

On the other hand:

Francis watched this with me last night, and decided to put some of the suggestions to use.
Today he was offered a promotion at work.

So, um, yeah.
;D

[Summer]

I don't think it is a perfect piece of work, Thorn, but I do believe that if one focuses on positivity as much as one possibly can, that a lot of the negativity in one's life will just begin to fade away. The mind is a very powerful thing, and I for one really need to train my brain to think more in a positive way in order to escape this horrid depression I have been in for the past 10 years. If I don't change the way I think, how can I expect anything else in my life to change around me.

I think that there is far more good in The Secret than bad, that's for sure. I didn't get a lot of the negative things out of it that you did. Course, I do believe that in some way or the other, I did deserve my horrible childhood, because of some lesson I needed to learn because of bad karma from a past life. That is the only explanation I can think of for why I went through it. I don't blame any of my actions in this life, that's for sure. Nothing I did in this life brought any of the child abuse upon me, but I do believe that I needed to go through the experience to learn something in this life. And boy, did I learn, eh?

I wanted to congratulate you on the Universe answering Francis so fast, and him getting a promotion at work! See, The Secret really does work. It seems to work much faster for those of us who already knew the secret to begin with too. I have lost 10 pounds since I watched The Secret without trying. All I have done different is think the way that The Secret teaches one to think and the pounds just melted away! Now if this will just keep working, and I'm sure it will. It seems to have slowed down a bit, but it is still working for me. I am getting thinner and thinner every day! Yay! ;D

Above is a link to The Secret's official website for those of you who would like to view the secret, or maybe even order the book or the DVD. It has been very inspirational to me in my life.

Thorn does have a point though. None of it was a complete secret really. I have done a lot of studying through the years, and already knew most of what The Secret taught before I saw the DVD. However, I DID learn new things from The Secret, and it also sums up the information that it took me many years to learn in a way that is really well done. I think it is well worth a watch. ;D

[Summer]

Here is a link that shows the first 20 minutes of The Secret! I hope you enjoy watching it. I know I sure did.
