 Read the Bible Instead September 7, 2008
A friend had recommended I see The Secret, so I purchased it through Amazon.com. I watched a good portion of it, but I kept getting phone calls and other distractions so I finally gave up and put it away to finish another time. The more I thought about the message in The Secret however, the more I thought it was a bunch of brainwashing drivel. "The Law of Attraction"--think about what you want and you'll get it. "Think abundance and you'll have abundance; think lack and you'll have lack." How ridiculous! That's simply not how it works. We don't exist in a vacuum. There are other factors to consider--namely, that we were created by God to be in fellowship with Him and He has given us clear instructions in His Word(the Bible)to follow in order to have a full, wonderful, abundant life. "Ask, and it shall be given to you; seek, and you shall find; knock, and it shall be opened to you. For everyone who asks receives, and he who seeks finds, and to him who knocks it shall be opened."(Matthew 7:7,8 New American Standard Version) Of course there is also God's perfect peace in all situations--good or bad--which He has given freely to us(John 14:27); He's told us we don't have to be anxious about anything(Philippians 4:6); and He's assured us that if we love Him, everything will turn out for our good(Romans 8:28). So I say, skip The Secret and open your Bible instead. It's not referred to as "the Good Book" for nothing! If you don't have one, I recommend an annotated Bible which gives explanations of certain verses and cross references to other verses. Above all, open yourself up to receiving God's blessings. He has them for you and wants so badly to knock your socks off with His love, grace, mercy and goodness. And that's no secret. ;)
 The Secret September 5, 2008
I have given this inspiring DVD to friends and loved ones here at home. And for friends and loved ones away from home,what better more efficient way than with Amazon.com. Over the years I have purchased a wide range of products and have NEVER been disappointed. Many, many thanks.cmz
Pleased as Punch! August 27, 2008
Thank you very much for your prompt delivery. The DVD is in excellent shape. Would highly recommend your products.
 Never got it August 26, 2008
The buyer contacted me to tell me it was unavailable and I was promptly reimbursed. No feedback because it was neither good nor bad. Bad that I didn't get the DVD but good that the buyer wrote to tell me and gave me a refund without me asking.
nicely packaged new age drivel August 25, 2008
I see other reviews on here that say it all but I still wanted to throw my two cents out there.
As someone in the healing arts, this video came to me via colleagues a few years ago. They were touting it as the greatest thing since sliced bread and I finally sat down to watch it with them, finding myself thoroughly disappointed.
I will say it's quite well done in terms of the use of music and imagery to elicit certain emotional responses. It has an inpirational feel to it, no doubt. And for someone with no prior exposure to the concept of creating your own reality, the truth and power of that, this might prove to be an eye opener.
But for anyone who has already been on this path for a while it's just materialism, or what I've heard called "spiritual window shopping." The ideas and theories are powerful, but why is the focus so entirely upon how to bring more money into your life? I'm not saying that wanting wealth is incompatible with a spiritual life - far from it. But is the best use of positive intention really all about bigger houses and fancy cars?
What I found woefully lacking here was attention on inner richness, connection, relationships and love. I came away from this shaking my head and thinking it was totally missing the point. The more I heard people raving about it, the more it bothered me because this is creating more shallow intention out there.
Why not focus on creating radiant health and teaching self healing, how to form spiritually charged, lasting relationships and how to contribute something worthy to the world? By the Law of Attraction, the natural reciprocation of that would be abundance. But there are so many forms of abundance and I felt that this DVD only focused upon one; financial wealth.
And again, once it was featured on Oprah, you couldn't stop off for a green tea or Yerba Mate anywhere without some stranger exclaiming "Have you seen The Secret?!" Lord people, think for yourselves. Please.
This is all style and no substance.
