I just saw "The Secret" and wow. As one said, "People seem to have one of two reactions to The Secret. Reaction one: “This is BS.” Reaction two: “This just cleared up everything for me, I feel a new beginning in my life.”
After doing research on all the "professionals" they had on the show revealing "the secret" to us are actually no one of any large respectable organization or history. There was a random school teacher.. and even a "Metaphysician"?!?! do you even know what a Metaphysician is? Think about it.
I felt that "The Secret" is a mix between a "Guilt-Crutch" for the middle class to not have to feel bad for people that have bad things happen to them or are in bad situations themselves. And also a mix between this theory that "If you think positive thoughts and "Ask, Believe and Receive" then you will get what ever it is you want. WTF!?! As I was told.. EVERYTHING required work.. you have to work to get where you are in life. Unless you were born into it.. you have yo bust your ass.
The movie was pretty much telling you that as long as you THINK and BEHAVE with a Truly positive mentality and visualize what you want in life.. that some supernatural force of Attraction (wich they kind of compared to quantum physics in the beginning of the movie for some kind of validation) will give you what you want. .and it will come to you as if you are a magnet of good things.
This movie is for people who believe greatly in Karma, and and it feeds on your gullibility to that premise and the movie tries to make you FEEL GOOD. So at the end you feel that this has changed your life in some way.
It really hasn't revealed anything other than trying to get you to buy the books.
This movie is not for people who are strong minded, self directed thinkers, and people who know that the universe is a chaotic place of chance, luck, and random events, that are driven and partially guided by your own ability to see and avoid such circumstances.
This movie to me.. uses the same groundwork that Scientology uses, and many organized religions today use.
And I am not telling you to NOT see this movie. cause I would be a fool to think any of my friends would be weak minded enough to just take my opinion alone on it.
I will give you a free copy to see so you can see for yourselves.. but I would feel terrible if you spend 30+ bucks on a film, that has no real cinematography, music, plot, character driven story elements.
