 To The Naysayers, Let's Keep Things in Perspective December 3, 2006
19 out of 27 found this review helpful
I bought this DVD long before it was available on Amazon, and at a time when it could be purchased only through the producer's website. I thought, and still think, it is/was a fantastic experience.
Some of the reviewers before me are casting this production off as psycho-babble, old-hat, nothing-new, etc. One even goes so far as to delve into past wars, our country's issues of over-consumption, etc. To me, that's getting way, way too deep. Let's not forget: This is just a DVD. It's not designed to solve the world's problems, nor is any claim made (at least in my own recollection) that the Law of Attraction could have avoided some of the tragic wars/events in history.
This DVD is for you and me - ordinary people sitting in our homes who are simply interested in bettering ourselves and our lives. That's all. If it does the job (which it has for me), if it helps, then that's all that matters. After all, perception is reality, and whether or not you believe that this is gunk or fact (based on what others have opined), if the theories/philosophy contained within help you, then it doesn't matter if those same theories and ideas apply to past history (could have prevented wars, people who've been victims of atrocities in other countries did not wish it upon themselves, etc.). If it's helpful to you - everything and everyone else notwithstanding - then it's a good DVD. Period.
Nothing is 100% foolproof in this world. Nothing works for everyone, and nothing applies to all. Having said that, the only thing that matters - again - is whether or not this DVD helps you. If it does, that's all that matters, and you've now found a great resource to tap into.
I did, and I strongly recommend this DVD.
Everyone on the planet should see this DVD! December 3, 2006

I will not reveal the great secret. I will only say that if you are not living the life you want right now, buy this DVD and you will! It is very powerful and life affirming. All you have to do is watch it and do it. That's it! You will get whatever it is you want out of life NO MATTER WHAT! Just buy this DVD today and start living the life of your dreams!
 Spiritual Materialism December 1, 2006
186 out of 240 found this review helpful
This movie is reminiscent of the book, "Who Moved My Cheese". It takes spiritual laws that are powerful and provoking, and twists them for profit and materialism in a way that can do more harm than good. (While greatly enriching the bank account of the producers!)
The movie has some wonderful points, such as gratitude being an energy that helps us create more of what we love. Also, we attract what we think about. The movie also had some wonderful examples of the power of positive thinking in healing physical ailments.
Where this movie goes wrong, painfully wrong, is leading people to believe that by focusing on the "stuff" that they want will make them happy. In fact, obsessing over the "stuff" you want can make you unhappy, because in essence, you are focusing on your lack instead of staying joyful in the present moment.
While it is true our lives might be more comfortable when our desires are met, ultimately, only love and compassion can heal you.
When you focus on your true purpose, which entails delivering your unique gift to the world, rather than focusing on your desires and ego gratification you can experience the joy of fulfilling your destiny. This does not mean suppressing your feelings of doubt and self worth by only focusing on "happy thoughts" and "what you want", but rather healing the wounds of separation through nurturing love and compassion for yourself and others. It is a subtle distinction, but a profound one.
Also, the very premise that the Law of Attraction is a coveted secret is fabricated. You will find this concept in all spiritual texts. It is a beautiful concept, one that helps us remind ourselves to stay positive and to trust that things will work out for us. What the great spiritual teachers also teach us is to be kind to our fellow humans and to the earth. This movie speaks nothing of charity, of service, of being present, and of purpose. This was all about having what we think we want. Be careful what you wish for! This movie can lead you in the wrong direction.
For books on nurturing self love and compassion for others, I recommend anything by Cheri Huber and Ticht Naht Hahn. :)
It's hard to say I believe in this. November 27, 2006

The secret is simple: You attract that which you believe you have.
Which is another version of: You create your own reality.
I wish I could tell you this is just a New Age hogwash but I can't. I really want to believe this is just another gimmick. If I had watched this movie 6 months ago I would have discarded it as pure trash. But here's something I learned a few months ago: Your mind is constantly looking for evidence of your belief.
If you believe you live in abundance of wealth, your mind will look everywhere for that evidence. Because of that, you become more aware of things that can attract wealth into your life and lo and behold, opportunities start to "show up". The truth is that opportunities have been all around you, you just weren't paying attention!
While it's not reproducible, I see it everyday. People attract the things they think about the most. People who live with a scarcity mentality usually do bad, people who live with an abundance mentality usually do good.
For this reason I say there's some truth to this "secret".
Although I don't believe that this secret can give you have a million dollars, I do believe that if you believe you have an abundance of whatever you want, you WILL do much better than if you didn't.
ABSOLUTELY A MUST SEE MOVIE!!! CHANGE YOUR LIFE NOW!!! November 25, 2006

I could not wait for my DVD in the mail and watched the full length movie at thesecret.tv
It blew my mind away!!!
You have to watch it over and over again! It's amazing!
My DVD arrived super fast! I watch it every day, sometimes only one Chapter due to my busy schedule - but it's worth it! It keeps me focused in the secret of "The Secret".
The message of the movie is revigorating and very very simple to understand.
Our planet will evolve faster due to the information that is given thru "The Secret", more and more people are practicing the secret of "The Secret".
Don't just watch others getting wealthy and living a dream life...a life you wished for yourself! Watch the movie and make it happen NOW!!!
