The Secret: Mind Over Matter Or Complete
Hogwash? (Review of The Secret DVD)
by Titus Hoskins
"The secret is the answer to all
that has been, all that is and all that will ever be." Ralph
Emerson 1803-1882.
When Oprah starts talking about
something, you just have to listen. When she featured an ensemble cast
from The Secret on her show, you really had to perk up your ears and
open your eyes.
I glanced at the TV and turned up the
volume. I was thinking if there was a secret, Victoria couldn't be far
behind. I watched anxiously for a parade of barely clad beauties to
bless the stage. They never materialized.
Instead a group of extremely animated
speakers kept mentioning something called the Secret again and again.
What in the name of Oprah is this? What the heck were these outwardly
sane looking people talking about? A new Religion? A new reality TV
show? A new YouTube sensation?
They captured my attention even though
new age metaphysical philosophy is not high on my list of priorities.
But this was coming from a lady who did a serious discussion on 'poop
with dignity' on nationwide TV and pulled it off. Lets give credit
where credit is due. Oprah can give class to anything.
As I watched her animated guests I
became hooked. I had to see this Secret DVD that they were discussing
in such glowing terms. I just had to get my hands on this video and
judge for myself.
I watched it on my laptop in one
sitting. I was transfixed. I was mesmerized. I was completely
surprised with the message being explained.
Could there be any substance to this
theory?
Throughout history there was one secret
that all the great minds knew about and kept from us? Could there be
an underlying force or law of nature determining the outcome of every
aspect of our lives? Wealth, health, happiness, relationships... you
name it and it's controlled by this law of nature.
The one factor which determines whether
we succeed or fail. The one factor which holds the key to our destiny.
Basically, this law of nature or this force is simply mind over
matter. We can use our minds and thoughts to attract the things we
truly desire in life. This law of attraction is one enormous step
towards empowerment...
...if you believe it!
That's the whole crutch of this
argument. From a realist's viewpoint this is a very hard swallow! As
for me, I found it extremely difficult to get past the 'hogwash' test.
I would imagine it may be too far 'out there' for many people - think
Shirley MacLaine's beliefs on steroids!
But even the most skeptical of us will
realize or have some understanding of how powerful our own minds are
in determining what happens to us. Our thoughts and beliefs really do
shape us into what we are. Our minds may just be the last great
mystery or frontier we have yet to explore.
The mind can determine how we feel. It
can heal. It can largely affect the outcome of our lives. But can it
really send out a metaphysical force and attract the things we want
and desire to us? I believe the jury is still way out on that one!
However, the Secret DVD is a complete
joy to watch. If you can get over the idea of this life controlling
force of nature dictating our very existence, the actual watching of
the Secret itself is simply amazing.
Coming from a teaching background, I
was pleased with how effective this video teaches its message. The
hour and half just flew by and the over all effect was one of
exhilaration and liberation.
Excellent Video
It can be easily seen why this
Australian film produced by Rhonda Byrne and directed by Drew Heriot
has become a worldwide self-help phenomenon. It features such pundits
as Jack Canfield (Chicken Soup For The Soul), Bob Doyle, Bob Proctor,
Joe Vitale and many more. It is an excellent marketing package.
Good visuals, quick editing and
excellent graphics put this film above most documentaries you will
ever see. Great production values enhance the Secret's message and
power. Regardless of whether or not you're in the choir or heckling
from the bleachers, the Secret DVD is definitely worth your time.
It is really more an experience than a
video or film, it has the power to open the eyes of even the most
reluctant skeptics out there. It has the power to stop you in your
tracks and make you take a second look at your life, where you're
going and where you want to go.
The energy of the Secret DVD is simply
infectious. You will be changed by just having viewed it. How much you
derive from the Secret will largely be determined by how open-minded
you are?
But there is no denying it, the Secret
has power. The power to move you. The power to change you. The power
to make you open your eyes and take a hard close look at your life and
where you're going. Now that's a secret worth having.
