An individual brain is the cosmic centre of the universe and has the power to achieve everything by way of power of visualization (Dhyan Yog in Indian culture), Positive energy and Karma.
Originally conceptualized by Rhonda Byrne and Directed by Drew Heriot this documentary is based on a secret which Rhonda Byrne discovered while reading a book gifted by her daughter which says “Mama this will Help OXOX” .
Ms Byrne then started finding that secret behind the secret. She quoted “I’d been given a glimpse of a great secret, I began tracing the secret back through history, I couldn’t believe this the people who knew this were the greatest people in the world….. thou ironically all the people who featured in this documentary has no historical significance at all at least till date thou few are internationally known like Jack Canfield, Esther Hicks, Bob proctor and rest are little known in masses before the release of this documentary and the publication of the book with the same name worldwide.
But than What Is Secret?? Does it hold validity practically?? Is the documentary able to succeed to convince you with the power of an individual lies within?
The Answer is a Big YES. It does. Thou there are some instances mentioned by speakers which are logically debatable as far this documentary is concerned which has been discussed with the flow of article
The Secret is LAW of Attraction
Bob Proctor, a philosopher effectively introduced the Law of attraction that puts viewers in a state of thought for a while to introspect why they are not in 1% on the wealth creators. The conversation is than carried forward a bunch of speakers which includes
John Assaraf, Joe Vitale, Bob Doyle (C/ o Wealth Beyond Reason);Esther Hicks(C/o the teachings of Abraham);Bill Harris( a therapist & founder of Holosync) ;James Arthur Ray; Dr. Michael Beckwith, Jack canfield (C/o Chicken Soup for the Soul series); Mike Dooley & Many more… All of them tried to justify one statement
Your Thoughts are the most Powerful Tool in the Universe which can turn your Imagination into Reality.
But to get this LAW OF ATTRACTION right we must introspect what does “The Secret” tries to communicate at the core
The following were the discussion points
What we Really want in our life – The Right Priority
Thoughts become Things
They are only two Emotions – One Feels GOOD and Other feels BAD
Love yourself
Visualize
You can start with nothing e.g. The Critique Lab

Thumps Up Thumps Down (TUTD™) Analysis
1) Director’s Eye™
For Drew Heriot only one world: “Excellent”. Why? You won’t get the same feeling while reading the book as you get while watching the documentary thou the book is the adaptation of the Documentary itself, it’s the reader who relates each and every Para of the book with the documentary only because not only it looks beautiful but despite a documentary it gives you the feel of a movie and is equally engaging.
2) BeaT SenSE™
The background score is soothing and in with the theme (It’s mixed with many original scores)
3) Art Sense™
Archival footage work by Sandy Kaye is exceptionally very good. Without the footage contributed and the visual effects (Director James Armstrong) this documentary may have lost its charm.
4) Speak SenSE™
Well this is the most important part of a documentary- the speakers or contributors to the discussion. But there are very loop holes in the Master Research as far as the personal awakening is concerned and are equally debatable
• The discussions are more of Materialistic e.g. Getting a bicycle; a golden necklace, a brand new car, a luxurious apartment, having dates etc.
• There are few examples where speaker says “for the first 30 days nothing had happened than suddenly ” or “what happened in next 6-8 weeks was absolutely miracle”; Does results come so quickly? Than everybody would paste a fake 1 million dollar note on the ceilings and would become millionaire. The result of spirituality is always followed by a mental balance to the overall development of the personality; Money just follows. A timeline for the result can only be given by those Yogis who have mastered themselves in Yog Kundalini and all those featured in the documentary were just the beginners.
• There is one instance that is simply stupid given by Marie diamond where an art director wished to have three dates per week ;so he paint himself with three women and hang it on his room walls. Next time he met Marie & said ‘ I have now three dates a week but I want to get married now’. So at this time he just placed one romantic picture of himself with a girl and he then got a beautiful women and settled down…Funny? In that manner every boy would place their picture with Jennifer Lopez, Angelina Jolie, Bipashu Basu, Aishwarya Rai in their bedrooms- would they come? Not I believe -Isn’t? There are people who have spent their life by keeping their favorites celebrities Pictures in their wallet & almirahs .They visualize and fantasize their life with them .Do they even get a touch of them? Very rare. Spirituality is awakening of power within not the awakening of physical desires at all...
• Michael Bernard Beckwith says “I've seen kidneys regenerated. I've seen cancer dissolved. I’ve seen eyesight improve and come back “I can agree to all of this except regeneration of kidneys since human organ regeneration is not seen even in miracles and not heard in medical science yet(I’m not talking of lizard's tail here :)
• The 99% of the movie do not talk of Karma at all. Only in one example of Jake canfield where he talks of action. Do secret is miracle? Than we don’t need to work at all. Keep stare the dollar note at your ceiling and One day they may fall from the ceiling including the ceiling itself ;-)
5) Worth Quoting
There are few scenes worth mentioning like
- The instance where a guy imagine himself driving a car while sitting in a lay chair in his home is absolute wonderful and well spoken by Mike Dooley
- The story of Morris Goodman who survived in an air crash and completely got paralyzed but because of his strong will power that he would move home by Christmas is equally inspiring and worth quoting
- The story of gratitude rock.
- The introduction of the movie thou seems like a suspense thriller but interesting and exciting
- A meaningful ending
At last
90 minutes of the secret helps you to self introspect positively in a world called spirituality …..Just explore the more You Can…Because somebody has said “I Know, I Can”
With Best Regards
