Amazon.com Review
Not really a movie or documentary, The Secret is more of a video seminar, a presentation featuring a series of authors, philosophers, doctors, quantum physicists, entrepreneurs, and spiritual practitioners expounding on the powers of The Secret (probably the most well-known of the presenters is Jack Canfield, author of Chicken Soup for the Soul and The Success Principles). What is The Secret, exactly? "That principle can be summed up in three simple words: thoughts become things," proclaims writer Mike Dooley, author of Notes from the Universe. Put it another way, its The Power of Positive Thinking and how it can be applied to attracting more money, better health, and relationships; in short, happiness. (There is a rundown of topics on the DVD Chapters menu).
Most of the material here is given in a straightforward manner, with the presenters simply talking into the camera to address the audience directly, which is good because it avoids the trap of pretense. On the other hand, the quick edits between presenters (would it hurt to let them say more than one sentence at a time?) don't help because it reduces many of their points to palatable sound bites and aphorisms. To many viewers, this may make the program come across as a series of nice ideas not rooted in reality. Plus it's somewhat spurious to claim that The Secret was well understood and practiced by specific individuals like Plato or Shakespeare (it's well known that some of the historical figures noted didn't exactly live happy or even prosperous lives, despite their achievements). But still, the primary message is one of positivity and hope for everyone. So what to make of it? In the end, programs like this generally find an audience that is open to the message, and many will probably find it to be a source of inspiration. Others will approach it with a good deal of skepticism or dismiss it as another way of marketing happiness the masses. It simply wont resonate with everyone, but if it resonates with you, you're likely to enjoy it and get a lot out of it. Those looking for more on The Secret might want to check out the companion book by Rhonda Byrne. --Daniel Vancini

I don't care who you are or what you do. Whether you work a 9 to 5 that you hate, or are the most successful person on earth. This DVD will teach you how to shift your chain of thought and put you in control of your life.
It will show you how thoughts ( or as people from my spirituality call it, 'postulates', or intentions) rule our lives and if you have a plethera of negative ones, you will attract negative things.
The DVD mentions the oddity that we have in the world, where the sick are the ones who speak so frequently of illness and the healthy virtually never obsess over it; like so many things, those who focus on the not desirable end up unintentionally causing it to take over their lives.
How I heard about this The Secret is when I went to a costume fitting for a shoot a few weeks ago and I had to wait for someone in the waiting area. I began chating with the girl that greeted the actors and took our measurements. As she was taking mine, I told her my stats and sort of joked about how overweight I am. This kind woman began to tell me about how she weighed the same amount as I did but was shorter. I couldn't believe her, as she looked tiny! SHe then told me how fantastic I looked, and how amazing I was. I was shocked! And she truly meant what she was saying! I told her how amazing she looked ( it was true) and she said ' I know. I have accepted that I look fantastic' and she said this in the most kind, honest way, not in an egotistical sense.
What she said stuck with me, and my husband and I watched The Secret to see what had inspired her.
You know, people seem to for some reason want to shift the blame onto other people, and believe that they are not in control of their lives. When I attended Catholic school as a kid, we were told that god was in control of our destinies; no one ever mentioned that WE were the shaper of our lives. If someone questioned this, they were told sternly that 'god has a plan for everyone'.
Think again. 'God' or life or infinity is a part of us. We are 'god', or part of the power that some deify and give that name. Our thoughts control our lives, and if we don't start living with a positive attitude, we will not succeed at all.
Buy this DVD right now, and then USE IT. Don't be scared off by people in your church or clique that tell you not to watch it because it is 'the work of satan' or some psychotic thing like that. THESE ARE EXACTLY THE TYPE OF PEOPLE WHO DON'T WANT YOU TO SUCCEED!
I believe that everyone is great. Not that they can be, but they ARE RIGHT NOW. This DVD helped me realize that.
NOTE: I just read a 'message' from someone who responded to this review, and as I knew would happen, they attacked it.
What inspired me about the costume woman is how she believed in herself, and how she accepted who she was as being great. Many woman ( if not all) and men question the way the look talk, act. We all do. I work in a very mean industry, where there is a set standard of how we should look and act. I would like to say it hasn't affected me in the past, but is has. And when one takes the careeer path of an actor or artist, one is frequently told they are not good enough and won't succeed.
This DVD helps me to accept my potential and the potential of others. I am no longer going to focus on the negative facets of my life and self and refuse to take personally any insults I may get ( here or elsewhere)!
So, if anyone wants to 'challege' my review, that's fine! I am not going to waste my time debating what you think is right and what the DVD says, or what my opinion is. But, I wanted to put a little blurb here ( on my actual review) to expand on why I was attracted to The Secret.
Good luck to everyone who embarks upon this journey of self-empowerment!!
This DVD, or `The Secret', is about the Law of Attraction. This law states that like attracts like, so when you think a thought, you are also attracting like thoughts to you. In other words, think good thoughts and good things will come to you, and if you think bad thoughts then bad things will come to you.
According to the author, everything in your life is the result of the law of attraction. It is a natural law of nature. It is impersonal and it does not see good things or bad things. It is receiving your thoughts and reflecting back to you those thoughts as your life experience. In other words, the law of attraction simply gives you whatever it is you are thinking about. That is, what you think literally becomes your life.
This concept is not new. Many books in the self-help section of bookstores carry books discussing the Law of Attraction. It is found in many religions, philosophies, Western and Eastern traditions, and in New Age literature. According to the author, luminaries such as Einstein, Plato, Newton, Emerson, Lincoln, and Ford, to name just a few, knew the secret and applied it to their everyday life.
To illustrate the Law of Attraction, here are a few quotes from the `Secret':
"This is really fun. It's like having the Universe as your catalogue. You flip through it and say, `I'd like to have this experience and I'd like to have that product and I'd like to have a person like that.' It is you placing your order with the Universe. It's really that easy."
"When you visualize then you materialize. If you've been there in the mind, you'll go there in the body."
"Your mission is the mission you give yourself. Your life will be what you create it as..."
Our words are so powerful, they can be used to create or destroy. Remember the saying, "Words are mightier than the sword"? The Secret presents us with people who thought uplifting thoughts and then, at some point, became successful.
But is it really that simple? Can we truly have anything we want in life simply by thinking about it? Can a mass murderer visualize himself as the President of the US and actually become the President? Consider the following: If only 100,000 Americans visualize themselves as the next President, will they all become Presidents? What about if only 100 out of the 3 Million Americans visualize themselves as the next President? Will they all become Presidents? Assuming each President is elected for only 4 years, we can have only 25 Presidents every century (100/4=25). So how will the Law of Attraction work in this situation?
If every person on the planet visualizes himself as a billionaire, will we all become billionaires? If so, then who will work in our factories and offices? Who will pick up the trash in the morning? You get my point. We can't all be rich.
If all we get in our life is happiness (by visualizing it), how would we know what happiness is in the first place? Don't we need sadness in order to appreciate happiness?
This list could go on and on forever.
Other than its obvious weaknesses, I recommend this DVD for its uplifting message. One thing to keep in mind, though, is that `The Secret' isn't a secret anymore.
