Topic: The Secret DVD

[hemisphere]

Has anyone purchased this DVD? It has been on top of the list at Amazon for a long time now.

I was intrigued by the positive phenomena and decided to view it first online before purchasing.  I can say that the Production Value of the Film is of high quality. The effects, music and storytelling are worthy of praise.

The supposed Secret is a repackaged collection of different Dogma already written in various books. The most commendable point about the "knowledge" (though is the way it communicates to a new generation of entertainment-driven viewers how to embrace the "belief" and use all available/existing tools to create/recreate and achieve whatever it is they desire.

Fascinating presentation that is worth seeing.

I was wary of the hype.  specially when it was initially 'not' sold by Amazon... but referred to...

And the price seems too high...  siguro wait muna ako, pag-isama ng Amazon sa sale...

I am very tempted to get this after seeing the entire film in youtube. Watch it guys before the copyright holders put it out.

Hehehe. I will use the basic Laws of Attraction and visualize that my annual income will be $100,000.00 so I can buy myself 2-3 copies of this DVD.

Newsweek on 'The Secret:'

http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/17314883/site/newsweek/

'Of course, that's a long way from the simple model of Ask-Believe-Receive. In most people's lives, positive thought leads to success only through the transforming medium of action. For obvious reasons, this is a much less popular message. "The Secret" dubiously appropriates a number of historical figures to illustrate the law of attraction. Beethoven was probably bipolar; Newton ruminated obsessively over personal salvation; Einstein derided quantum entanglement as "spooky action at a distance." Martin Luther King Jr. is enlisted as author of an epigram about taking a staircase one step at a time. King certainly could visualize. But he also knew better than to sit back and wait for the law of attraction to send down justice; he went out and worked for it. And there's no secret to that."
