Much A-Do About The Secret
Original Publication Date:
April 2007

Unless you've been on the island with the cast from LOST or under a shade tree with Rip Van Winkle you've certainly heard about The Secret. Rhonda Byrne's new book is making its way around the world and has already created quite a stir on many of the prominent shows like Oprah, Larry King, The Today Show, and Good Morning America. According to the book, the secret is a mystery guarded for centuries and its heralded discovery, advancement and prosperity through millennia, was largely withheld from the public, and kept tightly under wraps and locked away from view. Luminaries like Plato, Jesus, Einstein, Newton, Emerson, Lincoln, and Ford all knew the secret, we're told, and applied it successfully and accordingly to their lives. But now, it seems, the secret is finally coming to a store near you, it's been allowed out the box, unveiled for the rest of mankind to discover.
So what's all this buzz about? What has people so deliriously giddy like they just struck the mother load? So what's The Secret?
Simply stated, The Secret is a philosophy, a method, a self-improvement technique based upon the Law of Attraction— where like attracts like. What thoughts you think, feelings you feel, words you say, and actions you take consist of energy and that energy attracts more of its own kind. (Positive energy attracts the positive and negative energy attracts the negative.) What you think is equal to your life. You cannot behold or experience anything that is not the result or your vibration magnetizing to a corresponding manifestation. By changing your mind you, therefore, change your life.
To anyone familiar with consciousness dogma—this is not a new concept.
The Secret contains wisdom and practical insights from modern-day teachers, authors, and life-coaches that show the reader how thoughts create reality. They profess, that by applying the knowledge of The Secret, anyone can achieve wealth, health, and happiness, just as they have. Incredible and enlightening stories of eradicating disease, attaining massive wealth, overcoming insurmountable obstacles, and achieving the impossible are shared throughout to reinforce their compelling point. The list of exceptional contributors is impressive: Jack Canfield (Chicken Soup for the Soul), Neale Donald Walsch (Conversations with God), Hale Dwoskin (The Sedona Method), John Gray (Mars and Venus), Rev. Dr. Michael Beckwith (Founder of Agape International Spiritual Center), and many others.
The book, and now DVD, teaches you how to use The Secret in every facet of your life and in every interaction you encounter in the world. By letting go of old patterns of thinking, feeling, and behaving, you can make room for a new way of living. You will attract it. Letting go is the secret behind The Secret— all in an easy-to use approach. It suggests you'll begin to tap into the hidden power that's within waiting to emerge, and this revelation can bring you limitless and bountiful joy.
So what, you ask, is NOT to love about this? Why would anyone question the motives or comment on the content of such a powerful and positive message? Who wouldn't want the world to benefit from such a magnificent idea as The Secret? Who wouldn't want the world to become a better place if adopting The Secret can make it so?
