The Secret (Extended Edition)

This movie is a splendid, concise condensation of some classic ideas about how to improve your mood, your outlook, and thus your life. I have found that, yes, the better I feel, the happier I am, the more opportunities come my way, or I SEE the opportunities. Sadness and anger will blind you to the good about life. When watching this movie, you can take and use what you need or what feels right to you. I loved the nondenominational perspective. You also are introduced to quite a few teachers, alive and dead. I think anyone can get something out of this movie. I bought copies for all my nephews and nieces as gifts, and I have never bought movies as gifts. This really could be the best 90 minutes you have recently spent in front of a DVD player.

A friend had recommended I see The Secret, so I purchased it through Amazon.com. I watched a good portion of it, but I kept getting phone calls and other distractions so I finally gave up and put it away to finish another time. The more I thought about the message in The Secret however, the more I thought it was a bunch of brainwashing drivel. "The Law of Attraction"--think about what you want and you'll get it. "Think abundance and you'll have abundance; think lack and you'll have lack." How ridiculous! That's simply not how it works. We don't exist in a vacuum. There are other factors to consider--namely, that we were created by God to be in fellowship with Him and He has given us clear instructions in His Word(the Bible)to follow in order to have a full, wonderful, abundant life. "Ask, and it shall be given to you; seek, and you shall find; knock, and it shall be opened to you. For everyone who asks receives, and he who seeks finds, and to him who knocks it shall be opened."(Matthew 7:7,8 New American Standard Version) Of course there is also God's perfect peace in all situations--good or bad--which He has given freely to us(John 14:27); He's told us we don't have to be anxious about anything(Philippians 4:6); and He's assured us that if we love Him, everything will turn out for our good(Romans 8:28). So I say, skip The Secret and open your Bible instead. It's not referred to as "the Good Book" for nothing! If you don't have one, I recommend an annotated Bible which gives explanations of certain verses and cross references to other verses. Above all, open yourself up to receiving God's blessings. He has them for you and wants so badly to knock your socks off with His love, grace, mercy and goodness. And that's no secret. ;)

I have given this inspiring DVD to friends and loved ones here at home. And for friends and loved ones away from home,what better more efficient way than with Amazon.com. Over the years I have purchased a wide range of products and have NEVER been disappointed. Many, many thanks.cmz

Thank you very much for your prompt delivery. The DVD is in excellent shape. Would highly recommend your products.

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.
