The Secret

[bearandbee]

What I found interesting about the secret, was the real message being humanism and that we are all gods...totally false. The only truth in the dvd is when they describe faith and belief but that information is already in the Bible. I believe its just another lame attempt to repackage old ideas in a new book.

Sounds like they should have named it The Lie.

Poor Norm. He always has such bad luck. Still, that's Norman Wisdom for you! Yuk, yuk, yuk!

Anyhoo, instead of just pontificating as I have been, I thought I'd finally take a look at The Secret for myself and I must say that whilst I agree it repackages an old message, it's precisely because that ancient truth is still so relevant that it deserves this level of attention. Perhaps The Secret will actually have a significant effect this time, as it clearly explains the whole subject of self-fulfilling prophecies in terms the average Joe can understand. It's very well produced and hits the nail square on the head.

This is just the first 'authorised' 25 minutes on Youtube and it's spot on, apart from the soundtrack getting a bit ahead of itself toward the end.

As I mentioned before, The Celestine Prophecy is also a must read for anyone interested in our 'spiritual' evolution. It's written as a novel but contains some literally mindbending concepts that you'll find practical to apply;

Please watch The Secret though, whatever your pre-conceptions may be, as the ones with the greatest resistance to accepting personal responsibility for their lives need it most, including me. If it's any consolation, good habits are as hard to break as bad ones; it's just disciplining ones mind that takes a bit of work but then it becomes second nature to replace negative feelings with positive.

I noticed the Emerald Tablets of Thoth, (Ra, Rameses etc.), in the intro. Also worth a read, though it's allegedly many thousands of years old. Most intriguing was his method of anti-aging. Must try it sometime.

I saw part of it awhile back, but wasn't able to watch it all the way through during that viewing. After reading that review though, and considering some of the other movies I'm a fan of that don't necessarily have wide followings, it sounds like a good candidate for my "To watch" list.
