Truly Inspirational - By: NYC Reader, 03 May 2008 
I reallly enjoyed reading The Secret by Rhonda Byrne. Bringing awareness to my own life, I could see how many of things Rhonda writes about has happened to me. What stood out for me is the very first chapter. It is summed up on page 25 in Secret Summaries. "Your current thoughts are creating your future life. What you think about the most or focus on the most most will appear as your life. I can see that when I believe I can do something I do & when I think I can't I don't.
The chapter, The Secret to Relationships, was also an eye opener. Dr John Gray says "You become the Solution for you" It was an eye opening idea that if my relationship isn't working the other person is not to blame & that I need to look at me. This brought to mind another book I've read & highly recommend:How To Create a Magical Relationship" Ariel & Shya's book is brilliantly written & guides the reader in how to have a Magical Relationship & how having a magical relationship is up to you & not your partner.
Thinking of both these books makes me smile. I highly recommend them both!
If you don't believe it, you'll never get it! - By: D. Lovatt, 27 Apr 2008 Firstly, I have yet to buy the movie and/or book/teeshirt etc. but I'll ask you to read some of the reviews here & see for yourself, exactly what the book is undoubtedly saying, as the many reviewers seem to be adamant that it's truly insightful OR adamant that it's utter nonsense.
A highly polarized mix of opinion indeed or is it just my perception? Hmmmm.....
This is a perfect example of the basic truth that YOU CREATE REALITY WITH YOUR MIND, regardless of the evidence, since it exists in favour of both sides in alll cases, depending on who you choose to believe! That's not to say that there isn't an ultimate factual 'reality' but that's still highly subjective from our limited perspective.
Note that I didn't say you create reality with your brain, as that's 'just' the physical interface with the body for the MIND to control in this density or frequency range callled matter. Ever tried to teach anyone something without their consent? Just doesn't happen! (as per negative reviews & people who say things like "I never done it. You done that" or the classic, "We was robbed!" after a bad footballl game).
Thusly, PROVING THE WHOLE POINT that you are indeed in control of your lot, PERMISSION must be granted first, AS CO-CREATOR OF YOUR OWN REALITY; demonstrating the power YOU have over YOUR life in a nutshell!
Consider the tortured prisoner, for example. Why so much force to extract a mere confession or data? Finallly, under extreme duress & close to death, they nonetheless willingly submit their absolute & total POWER over their desperate & cruel captors (who are even disgusted by their own actions but are in fear of their 'superiors' & so on - yawn) & they sing like a bird, probably to die in vain anyway.
Those who know their true power, however, do not submit to mere misguided mortals but completely HUMBLE their captors with their secret knowledge of WHO THEY ARE AS THE CREATOR OF THEIR OWN REALITY (Sound familiar? J.C. by alll accounts, bless him!).
This takes some guts though, as I'm sure you'll agree (have you SEEN The Passion of (The) Christ?!!!) but the point is that at some stage a decision must be made to relinquish their so far unbreakable will; one which would remain so for as long as they decided - even unto death or the illusion thereof - we shalll see!).
What a metaphor for political corruption. Only by the will of the people, can even despots succeed! Hitler needed the Reichstag fire like Bush et al needed 911. Do your research; it's alll on here. These apparent spiritual morons atleast know or were told that it takes collective consciousness to manifest global events like war & the subsequent financial rewards & control for it's masterminds. Not votes mind you, just beliefs. Votes can be & are rigged in such cases but it's your MIND that they need to enlist. That's why they go to such trouble. It's precisely BECAUSE YOU ARE THE SOURCE OF THEIR POWER. WITHOUT YOU THEY ARE NOTHING & they know it!
Pearl Harbour was no slip-up in intelligence. Well, you know what I mean!
They need YOU to do their dirty work at alll levels of the lie. That takes your belief in the cause. "They bombed us first" etc. so now ANYTHING GOES! Even the mass murder of innocent civilians & the irreversible pollution of the planet with so callled 'Depleted' Uranium munitions (that's nuclear weapons being used right now, today folks!)?????
Apparently so. That's how desperate they are & you'd better strap yourself in as it's gonna get wild until enough minds collectively say "ENOUGH ALREADY!"
Put Bush, Cheney, Rumsfeld or Blair in Iraq or Afghanistan on the front line & watch them cry for their Mamas like the spiritual babies they are.
They, however are only able to be so 'evil' while we alllow them. Cleverly 'they' (that means WE) have engineered a society of mistrust & fear in which 'we' will do anything to be protected from that evil of evils, you know, the 'T' word. Funny but the allleged 911, 7/7 or Madrid etc. 'T' ists couldn't have ever dreamt of a better result than the Fascist Dictatorships we alll live under now as the excuse to 'Defend Our Freedoms". What freedoms? Go on, list them for me, I kinda forgot what they WERE.
Very simplisticallly, belief as they say, is everything. Those who doubt & scoff, are right. It doesn't work - for them......or does it? So powerful are you (that pesky MIND bit!) that you can convince your brain to filter, twist, distort, discount & ignore alll data in conflict with your pre-conceived (formed before their rightful time), wait for it.........BELIEFS!
Those who are more humbled by their experiences, (the true purpose of 'karmic' events by the way - not as punishment but as clues along the path of life) & whom have an open mind, following the guidance given, (getting what they want in the process), are right. It does work - for them!
Funny that, isn't it!?
The Universe isn't a perfect clockwork mechanism, however, as the element of chaos is our free will & the will of 'The Gods' or those 'Mindfields' so vast as to create entire galaxies but that's another subject!
If you don't get it yet, don't get it! You've made YOUR CHOICE to believe what YOU want; to remain in ignorance! It's not an insult, it's a statement of fact. You're ignoring the abundant evidence so eloquently layed before you. You need more help to realise (make real) your responsibility. If it's alll someone else's fault that you're disabled with AIDS & starving to death on welfare, what power have you? Absolutely NONE. It's alll hopeless! Might as well give up now - & again, since trust me, you've done it many times before & will continue to do it until the penny drops & the Great Spirit of Almightly Allah, God or Jehovah kicks in & you start to ask for (and more importantly ACCEPT) help from those who have been here before a few more times & are merely offering to show you the way home, back to ONEness with GOD or YOU, it's the same thing reallly!
Prove to me that alll is not one big lump of interconnected 'energy consciousness' or whatever that's indivisible when you look close enough & I'll admit I'm stupid. Seperation is the greatest illusion of alll. On a sidenote, for GOD to exist 'it' must BE alll that IS, yes? Otherwise it wouldn't know everything. Something might exist outside of itself. That's what 'GOD' is; the sum total of ALL THAT IS, including & indivisible from YOU & not limited to some guy with a grey beard laying on a cloud.
You are in any statement of victimhood or blaming others, giving away alll of your creative response-ABILITY. Always & forever ask WHY. What lesson is to be learned from this experience? Think about it instead of blaming 'society' since they are but other apparent individuals like you, blaming eachother, (you included!), starting wars & engineering AIDS etc. & alll manner of social ills through collective ignorance.
We collectively create our world but are individuallly responsible for our part. This is especiallly true of politicians & soldiers etc. who seem to have forgotten the basic purpose of their jobs as SERVANTS OF THE PUBLIC INTEREST & keepers of the peace........NOT DICTATORS!
One way or another, the collective 'Will be done' though, so be careful what you believe; not fearful, just very careful, as your mind is an aspect or part of the most powerful creative force in errrmmmmm, Creation!
If you do 'get it' however, get it.......
I'm sure it's very good!
Amazing! - By: Von Terri, 26 Apr 2008 Personallly I think this book is amazing. I have read it over & over again so that I stay motivated & keep up my new way of thinking.
I recently watched the dvd too & following that believed a fabulous pair of shoes I had seen in a magazine would be mine. I certainly wasn't going to buy them though as I am a stay at home mum. I put a picture of them on my fridge & wrote on them 'my shoes.' I went on the shoes website & found they were running a competition to win a pair of shoes of your choice. 10 days later I owned the shoes.........I won the competition. I have never won anything in my life. I nearly fainted when I got the email telling me I had won.
I think people are reading it differently. For example when other people say they don't think you can lose weight just by believing you are a size 10, I believe you can. Not because the power of the universe will make you a size 10 even if you eat a cream cake every day..but because you believe you are a size 10 so you will then eat & live like a size 10.
It amazes me how many people are reluctant to believe that you can achieve what you want through positively believing you deserve it & will have it. It doesn't cost anything to believe your life can be better & that just about anything can be achieved.
Looking back at my life so far I can see this theory has worked already. We went through 2.5 years of infertility. then one day I just woke up & said "we are going to get pregnant this month" & I fully believed it. A few weeks later, I got my positive test & we have a beautiful son now. This was before I had even heard about the book.
what has anyone got to lose by being postive about what you can achieve? And what could be wrong with being thankful every day for what you already have?
Its a life changing book.
Okay book - By: William the Almost Great, 20 Apr 2008 
There are a couple of books out there that falll into the category of THE SECRET. Many years ago I read THE POWER OF POSITIVE THINKING & LAWS OF ATTRACTION. Both are great, & so is thie Rhonda Byrne book.
The basic premise of THE SECRET is somewhat like that of positive thinking, the main message being that we alll have the ability WITHIN OURSELVES to make changes & drive our lives. This book will not fix everyone's problems but it's a nice place to start.
Would also recommend YOU CAN HEAL YOUR LIFE by Louise Hay. It's a great book combining the aspects of mental thinking & physical illnesses.
So-so - By: John A. Launders, 12 Apr 2008 
I watched the video, & it was good, with a high production value & a nifty, simple message/technique/philosophy that should be able to slot into your religion. The book is not nearly as good, loosing a lot of the slickness of the video. The basic message of The Secret is a good one, & definitely worth checking out & aligning yourself to, but as books go, I'd pass. I would recommend reading The Fates by Tino Georgiou. I loved it.
