What is the Secret to The Secret Movie?

The Secret - what an intriguing title for a movie! Is it really "the" secret, what we are all looking for? What *are* we all looking for? The DVD is selling out quickly all over the world, and people are talking excitedly about the ideas the movie presents. So, having seen it, should I tell you? Or do you have to discover "the secret" for yourself?

I was in the bookstore attached to a new age type church, when I picked up a copy of the DVD. A voice from the back of the store called out "that's our last copy, it's very popular!" and according to new age protocol, that was a "sign" and I was required to buy the video in order to fulfill my destiny.

It was an impressive film, with authoritative interviews and clever special effects, and interesting dramatizations of historical situations in which figures from the past apparently discovered The Secret and were not able to reveal it, yet marveled about it. As the story goes, it is only in our enlightened age that we are able to talk openly about it.

The secret makes sense to me, I know I've seen it in action. People's lives have changed when they have finally trusted the principles behind it. As in the dramatizations in the film, people who have realized the meaning of the secret have sometimes had spectacular success, and in their awe of its power, they remarked about how simple things really are.

For myself, I have had some trouble using the secret in my own life. I try, but I am still led astray by issues in my life, and their interference with the secret's effects. It is frustrating, as I continue doing what is prescribed, only to come upon yet another obstacle towards the prosperity and type of life that I desire.

You may be wondering what The Secret is all about. You should see the movie, because it drives the point home a lot better than a simple revelation can do. I can put it into a few words, but if you don't understand those words truly, as I mostly have not, then it will seem like a torturous clue, something hiding in plain sight, as you continue to struggle while still knowing at least the words that comprise the secret.
