The Secret. The bits they didn't tell you in the movie

I wrote a whole essay about "The Secret" and how its whole premise is fraudulent. I came to realize that Rhonda Byrne and whoever else basically slapped together a whole bunch of material in six weeks but without knowing what they were saying. But no doubt, Byrne was dead serious about thought waves, quantum physics, and metaphysical nonsense. In no sense was anything a metaphor, just a joke. Remember, the original narrator of "The Secret" was to be a woman who delusionally believes she's channeled by a spirit (just like the whacko JZ "Ramtha" Knight who believes she's a 35,000 yr-old warrior).

I'd be willing to post the essay (in another thread) if anyone would like.

I can't stand that movie, no offense. We watched it in our socials class at school and all of the quotes are not relevant to the secret at all. They talk about Edison's quote on electricity or Winston Churchill's quote on the second world of war. Everything about this movie is complete hogwash. The only semi valid point is if you act in a positive way you can receive positive feed back. Dont Hate me its just I find this extremely ridiculous. Maybe if they show me some evidence ill change my decision. BAHUMBUG!!!

It probably makes a lot more sense if you've seen The Secret. My fave character is the woman who explodes saying "I CAN'T TAKE IT ANYMORE!!!"

No I have seen the secret, but I couldn't watch this one on this other computer for some reason.

Thought I would bump this classic parody of The Secret.

:D

thanks, that was awesome!

IMHO:

1. You can't just envision and believe, and it will happen. You have to make a real, dedicated effort to develope your mind and truly control your mindstate. Just thinking possitively doesn't mean your mind is truly thinking possitively, you need to dig right into the subconscious and shape the most deeply burried gears.


2. Harsh overkill on the corniness.

and

3. I do believe in the law of attraction as it relates to the human psyche. However, it was grossly misrepresented when they illustrated mystical waves eminating from people's minds. There is no energy flying from you in every direction, no pulse vibrating a mile around you. If you want to really look at how the minds of conscious beings affect each other, think quantum, and think something closer to gravitation. I know there are experts on quantum physics who made this, but both What The Bleep and The Secret unfortunately used very vague explanations that didn't go nearly deep enough. Maybe that's as far as most people's minds can stretch though, I don't know.

I think the first point is very true. We cant just manifest things out of thin air especially if we don not do something to guide our positive thoughts.

The best psychics know the secret too!
