DVD The Secret
|
By applying the Law of Attraction they present instances of eradicating disease, acquiring massive wealth, overcoming obstacles and achieving what many would regard as impossible.
The dvd The Secret has attracted considerable interest from media figures such as Oprah Winfrey, Ellen DeGeneres, and Larry King, as well as criticism in the mainstream press.
For much of February through April both The Secret Dvd and The Secret Book were number 1 or 2 at Amazon, Barnes & Noble, and Borders.
The book's publisher, Simon & Schuster, did a second printing of 2 million, the biggest order for a second printing in its history.
Culturally New York Post reports that e-mails, in chat rooms, around office cubicles and on blind dates. It is recognized as having a broad and varied impact on culture and is likened to a “Hollywood phenomenon.”
The film has been featured on Larry King Live Show, The Ellen DeGeneres Show, Oprah Winfrey, The Montel Williams Show, The Today Show and Nightline
As you would expect there has been much criticism from media, business, health and religious circles, After all The Secret does fly in the face of the representatives of these quarters.
To state that the Law of Attraction does not exist would be an unsupported statement, just a statement of personal choice to take that view.
Indeed it is the case that some critics find much to fault in the film and nevertheless see it as providing positive opportunities or benefits for society.
Greg Beato of Reason Magazine pens,

“...infectious, helping to create a national mood of high-octane optimism.”
“.. If there's anything our current bleak era needs, it's a little irrational exuberance. Perhaps The Secret is the Grand Genie of the Universe's answer to our prayers.” |
However criticism seemed to run much deeper, as one of the films ‘Stars’ was unceremoniously, cut from the original version of the film. And, in my humble opinion, the film does leave a huge chunk of the message out, without the wise ranting of Abraham.
Here is Abraham, talking through Ester Hicks, about the value and reaction to the film The Secret.
So to see the film or not? To research Law of Attraction, this film will act as a superb introduction to the Law of Attraction and the principles surrounding the Laws governing us.
However it is only that, an introduction, learning to apply these principles will involve far more than the basic lessons of visualization covered in this film, and understanding why the Law of Attraction works, runs much deeper.
