The Secret is a documentary that supposedly reveals a secret that was once used by the majority of society but recently has been hidden from society. They claim that all of the great men in history including Einstein, Shakespeare, and Beethoven used the secret to achieve their success. This secret seems unbelievable and impossible but the philosophers in the movie say that you must move past that thought process for this power to work. I am still skeptical that this secret works but I am going to give it a try, what have I got to lose?
The main theory to the secret is the Law of Attraction. Every thought and emotion you feel in your head gives off a wave of energy, it has been medically proven that positive thoughts have much more energy than negative thoughts. The universe reacts to the energy released from your brain. Positive feelings attract positive things into your life while negative feelings attract the negative into your life. So if you learn to control your emotions and have positive feelings you will live a happier life. This makes sense on the level that if you are always thinking and feeling positive you are already happy, but the authors and philosophers in this film say that it goes much deeper than that claiming that everything that is brought into your life is brought there by what you are thinking and feeling on a conscious and unconscious level. Even if you do not believe in the Law of Attraction it is at work every second of your life is what they all said.
It is hard to believe that any of this is true but no one truly knows if it is or isn't. One of the only facts backing up this theory that stood out to me in this film was that when someone gets out of bed and immediately stubs their toe they tend to spiral downhill and their whole day becomes a series of unfortunate events. This starts the day with negative thoughts and feelings that tend to last throughout the day which keeps the negativity flowing into your life. "All power is from within and is therefore under our control." -Robert Collier
The creators of this film then go even further by claiming that you can use this power to get whatever it is that you want no matter how big or small. "When you visualize then you materialize" - Dr.Dennis Wattley. Decide what you want, believe you can have it, believe you deserve it, and believe it's possible for you. Then close your eyes and visualize having what you want while feeling the feelings of already having it and come out and focus on what you are grateful for, and then when you have inspired thought you have to trust it and act on it. This supposedly works because the brain cannot tell the difference between something really happening or if it is just being imagined. "Imagination is everything. It is the preview of life's coming attractions." -Albert Einstein. This process has to be repeatedly daily over an unknown period of time for the secret to work. It seems like a ridiculous concept, but is it actually possible?
There were many people who got interviewed in this documentary claiming that the secret helped them achieve and receive everything that they ever wanted but none of them provided solid proof of this secret being the actually cause of their luck. It makes this harder to believe but if you think about it what proof could their be except for experiencing it for yourself.
This movie opened up my mind to the possibilities of the universe, our race still has very little understanding of how the universe truly works. It also gave me some good tips on how to think and feel positively which will help anyone in life even if this secret is not real.

"Follow your bliss and the universe will open up doors for you where there were only walls." -Joseph Campbell
