The Secret (2006)

This original version of "The Secret" is out of print! Esther Hicks, the channel who speaks for "Abraham" is in this original version, which also features Bob Proctor, Morris Goodman, John Gray, and many other modern-day teachers. This is a mind-bending, life-changing film that must be seen to be experienced fully.Also includes subtitles for the hearing impaired, trailers, and will work in DVD players from all NTSC regions (as well as all-region DVD players).

Never got it

The buyer contacted me to tell me it was unavailable and I was promptly reimbursed. No feedback because it was neither good nor bad. Bad that I didn't get the DVD but good that the buyer wrote to tell me and gave me a refund without me asking. August 26, 2008

nicely packaged new age drivel

I see other reviews on here that say it all but I still wanted to throw my two cents out there.

As someone in the healing arts, this video came to me via colleagues a few years ago. They were touting it as the greatest thing since sliced bread and I finally sat down to watch it with them, finding myself thoroughly disappointed.

I will say it's quite well done in terms of the use of music and imagery to elicit certain emotional responses. It has an inpirational feel to it, no doubt. And for someone with no prior exposure to the concept of creating your own reality, the truth and power of that, this might prove to be an eye opener.

But for anyone who has already been on this path for a while it's just materialism, or what I've heard called "spiritual window shopping." The ideas and theories are powerful, but why is the focus so entirely upon how to bring more money into your life? I'm not saying that wanting wealth is incompatible with a spiritual life - far from it. But is the best use of positive intention really all about bigger houses and fancy cars?

What I found woefully lacking here was attention on inner richness, connection, relationships and love. I came away from this shaking my head and thinking it was totally missing the point. The more I heard people raving about it, the more it bothered me because this is creating more shallow intention out there.

Why not focus on creating radiant health and teaching self healing, how to form spiritually charged, lasting relationships and how to contribute something worthy to the world? By the Law of Attraction, the natural reciprocation of that would be abundance. But there are so many forms of abundance and I felt that this DVD only focused upon one; financial wealth.

And again, once it was featured on Oprah, you couldn't stop off for a green tea or Yerba Mate anywhere without some stranger exclaiming "Have you seen The Secret?!" Lord people, think for yourselves. Please.

This is all style and no substance.

Don't believe the negative comments

Im not much of a review writer but I felt it necessary due to all the other comments. They call it "The Secret".. and even though we all know these things (instinct, intuition, the bible, physics, etc), its difficult for anyone to assemble them in a pretty little package and use them in every day life. I have been following "The Secret" for years without knowing it. This movie sort of connected the dots and filled in the blanks. I'm a very intelligent, rational person and know this is the real deal. I have personally benefited from whats talked about and it does truly change your life.

The comments below are NEGATIVE. and in the movie itself it says that negativity attracts more negativity so if these people have that attitude they will get more of the same. Its just the laws of physics. This is not about money, this is about a spiritual journey to whatever you want in life (its true and it really works). If it were about money there would have been a blockbuster release, sex scenes, a plot, an ending, action, actors, etc.. This has none of the above. Just solid advice.

If you choose to not watch this movie based on these comments below then its a sad day for you. Its only $5 bucks online for an incalculable return on your life. August 21, 2008

A Good Beginning

"The Secret" is a good beginning for those interested in understanding the Law of Attraction, positive thinking and visualization.

The information is presented in an interview style format. Some of the contributors include: Joe Vitale (writer of "The Attractor Factor"), Michael Bernard Beckwith (founder of Agape Spiritual Center) and Jack Canfield (co-founder of the "Chicken Soup" series).

The presentation is superb and I believe this is one of the best marketed DVDs in recent years. While "The Secret" presents many engaging personalities and thoughts, still it is an introductory material--highly accessible but insufficient on its own to really make practical changes in your life.

For those looking for more depth, you will need to explore other books.

One of the best books I've read is "Nexus: A Neo Novel." It's an amazing journey of people looking for personal growth at a spiritual retreat. The inspiration and challenges that people face in "Nexus: A Neo Novel" reinforce many of the concepts found in "The Secret." August 21, 2008
