Something different and thought provoking4
'The Secret' appears to have split the population into those who believe in the power of the mind and the 'law of attraction' and those who don't. Ultimately of course that's a personal decision for you.

The actual film is not a movie as such; it's more of a documentary and is made up of contributions from self-help thinkers, philosophers and scientists and also contains a high number of acted out scenes to illustrate the points. Bob Proctor, Bob Doyle, Jack Canfield and Joe Vitale are particularly notable contributors.

I have to say that 'The Secret' has a great accompanying soundtrack and is very well packaged and put together. You'd think that the core message of the law of attraction would be boring after a while, but the film breaks this down and applies it to various lifestyle issues such as relationships, money and health.

There will be many people who will think some of the contents here are highly controversial e.g. bringing ill health upon yourself through negative thinking, but it is generally agreed from medical experiments that through the 'placebo effect' the human mind can indeed have a very powerful impact on the state and condition of the human body.

Am I a believer in this...? Yes, I am. Napoleon Hill's classic book on success (commissioned by Andrew Carnegie) was called 'Think and Grow Rich' - that was a long time ago and even back then a belief in positive thinking and a 'wealth mindset' were recognised as key internal wiring and a compass to personal success.

Overall 'The Secret' is thought provoking and you should at least give it a run on your DVD player to make up your own mind about it.

The Law of Attraction3
"The Secret" wraps its message up in Da Vinci code style graphics as if it were some ancient parchment kept secret by a band of jealous monks. Actually the material it presents - The Law of Attraction - is very similar to a myriad of self-development texts including those by Anthony Robbins, Stephen Covey, Jack Black and many others. That makes the cover price rather excessive in my view. Nevertheless there is important and useful material here. The art of setting really compelling goals and being in a positive "state" are crucial to self-development. NLP covers these things in much more depth and with a more coherent structure, but this could be a useful start if you have never experience these concepts before. The presentation here is slick and it is an interesting programme (slightly overlong in this extended version). There are a few things in the programme which are a bit unpalatable - the suggestion that you can cure cancer by visualisation alone is disturbing. I agree a positive image of perfect health is vital, but don't stop the chemo on the basis of this film. Also, at times, the programme suggests you can achieve your goals by visualisation alone. I am sure that millions of males would testify that Angelina Jolie didn't turn up on their doorstep no matter how hard they fantastised !. You do need to work towards your goals; and a clear compelling vision with a good positive attitude are essential first steps. This film will help you put those in place.

My understanding of the secret5
To everyone who has watched this dvd and are not having the desired results or see it as being a bit far fetched, i want to explain to you that the application of the secret to your life, i.e. positive thinking and feeling against negative thinking, is the same sort of principle as working out at the gym. To get a great body and great health, you need to concerntrate on the amount of food you are eating and which ones are good for you. This along with cardio and weight training will get you great results BUT is takes time and dedication and you need to cut down on the junk food and sweets. Exactly like the secret. You have to take time and dedication to practice concerntrating on the things in life that make you feel good, like the new car, the good relationships, the big house (this is the excersise in my metaphore) and cut down on or completely eradicate concerntrating on the things that make you feel bad, however small, like "i hate it when ---- hapens, or i hope 'this' doesn't happen today cuz i hate that (or eating junk food and not excersiseng).This is just my way of explaining by the way, im not having a go at people who don't work out. The point is you need to think positivly and keep doing it untill all the little problems sort themselves out and you have a life of freedom and financial security and happiness. Sorry for going on so long, but if you have taken the time to read this and found it useful I hope you can apply it to your own life and help others do the same. I beleive the more people that can use the secret to become happy the world will be a safe happy place to live in. Think about the good, forget about the bad. Look after yourselves. The secret made me infinatly happier and wealthier, and as long as you know how to apply it you can to. Keep watching the dvd and watch 'the summary' in the extras with Bob Proctor, it explains it better than i have here. Good luck. and don't dismiss this secret, it works! once you leran how to use it, which is easier than you think.
