Posted on December 5, 2007 in Laws Of Attraction by byronb

SPOILER ALERT: TheSecret itself is revealed in this review.

The people we think of as history’s “greats”, geniuses inscience, business, academia, the arts, and public service, people like Plato,Da Vinci, Michelangelo, Winston Churchill, Mother Theresa, Thomas Edison,Alexander Graham Bell, Andrew Carnegie, Ralph Waldo Emerson, those icons whobring us inspiration and aspiration - all achieved what they did through thedeliberate practice of the same Secret knowledge.

Some of them had the same words for it, some used anentirely different vocabulary, but the awareness, the Secret they understoodand applied about the way the Universe and everything in it works, was thesame. One Secret, practiced to extraordinary effect for centuries, and nowavailable to you in the movie: The Secret.

In The Secret this singular concept, this seeming-magicformula that led to the immortalization of so many of its practitioners, isexplained by articulate authorities in a diversity of disciplines - theology,medicine, philosophy, business, quantum physics, and more. Set to inspiringmusic and a collage of engrossing images, the Secret to living the life you’vealways dreamed of is laid out for you in a clear, concise, and - mostimportantly - practical manner.

If you’ve found this review and you don’t know The Secret already,it’s time you were filled in. The Secret is the Law of Attraction: likeattracts like, what you think about you manifest, thoughts create things, yourthoughts create your reality.

After The Secret is thorough illustrated to where you can atleast understand the concept, if not yet quite believe it, it is then explainedhow to apply the Secret, the Law of Attraction, to improving your life, in allareas: money, health, relationships with others, your relationship withyourself, and the larger world.

You will learn to eliminate what you don’t want from your lifeby concentrating on what it is you do want. You will learn to harness gratitudeand other positive emotions to attract more into your life to feel good about.And you will learn simple, repeatable processes for using the Law of Attractionwith increasing effectiveness, rapidity, and ease, including the fundamentalprocess of the Law of Attraction:

Askfor what you want
Believethat you have it already
Receiveit into your life by feeling the feelings of having it now.

The lush imagery throughout the film is a dreamscape thatopens the mind to possibility like a kaleidoscope openthe eyes to wonder. One of the most compelling, convincing, and inspiringaspects of the movie, however, is in the real-life personal experiences fromthe very same “teachers” conveying The Secret, stories of triumph overadversity and transformation in the face of overwhelming resistance.

If ever there was a Secret to enlightenment, this is it; andthis movie lays The Secret bare for anyone with eyes to see, ears to hear it,and - most vitally - an open mind.
