What is the secret?


What is the Secret really about? The Secret is a movie about self help, self rejuvenation, those reveals the most powerful law in the universe. The secret is a -not so famous- movie that has been surprisingly spread around the world. Thousand of forums and websites talk about “The Secret”. Millions of fans buy the DVD and the books, make it became one of the best seller movies all the time.

The conceptor of the Secret, Rhonda Byrne, discover that the secret began with a glimpse of the truth through a 100 year old book. Without exception, every human being has the ability to transform any weakness or suffering into strength, power, perfect peace, health, and abundance. This is the secret to everything that we like, to unlimited happiness, love, health and prosperity. The "Law of Attraction" principle described that people's feelings and thoughts connected to each other and create real events in the world into their lives; from the workings of the cosmos to interactions among individuals in their physical, emotional, and professional affairs. The film also suggests that there has been a strong tendency by those in positions of power to keep this central principle hidden from the public, so that is the secret.

Jack Canfield, one of the men behind the screen, a best seller author of the ‘Chicken Soup for the soul’ business chain tells the audience how to get something by directing the mind. Other authors, entrepreneur, fengshui guru, and philosopher, also contribute their ideas in this documentary style movie. The secret is about 'momentum', to always think big! How we can get what we want by using our mindset. The secret is highly recommended movie to watch for each entrepreneur, and to motivate entrepreneurship; from college entrepreneurship to minority entrepreneurship.

The Secret is the latest and by far the worst example of a HIGHLY profitable trend where self-help gurus with fabricated new age titles and little relevant education, credentials or legitimate expertise brainwash us into believing that they know what is best for us, our marriages and our families.

Often their only contribution to society is introducing some exotic sounding, new age philosophy. However, they often cleverly form an incestuous group of like-minded “experts” who cross-promote each other by swearing their success is due to following the beliefs of another member of their “cult!” All the while, they ply the airwaves jockeying for an ever-larger audience by appearing in the national media to garner third-party endorsements.

The Self-Help Movement has become the Self-Destruct Movement by diminishing or destroying our critical thinking skills to choose and evolve on our own. We have given up the freedom to build healthy lives, marriages and families based on our unique history and life experience. Instead many victims, blinded to the value of their own life experiences, are attracted to the latest secret in self-help, in an attempt to find out what they should think, feel and how they should act... this is the definition of a cult.

The solution is a return to our (common) senses! The best way out of this learned “self-helplessness” is to go cold turkey. Stop following ALL self-help gurus now. Begin, instead, to reclaim your natural, God-given ability to think for yourself. The common sense that was once readily available to all of us is still there free of charge and waiting to be applied to just about any challenge we might face in life… all you have to do is use it.

Please, let's all work together to stop the flock of "sheepeople" who blindly move from one UNPROVEN concept to the next, looking for the answers to life's challenges that you already possess and that is the OBVIOUS!
