Finally got to see the movie "The Secret" and some things bugged be about it.

First, "the secret" was revealed to the producer in a book she received but the name of the book is never mentioned or discussed. Why is she keeping this part of "the secret" a secret? Maybe the book doesn't even exist?

The boardrooms of all the successful corporations are filled with spiritually enlighten beings who know "the secret" and have been using it to make themselves rich at the common man's expense?

Rich people know "the secret" and poor people don't. Rich people, being more spiritually advanced, are therefore rich. Rich people don't want poor people to know "the secret". Poor people are poor because they don't know "the secret". If you are famous, you also know "the secret".

One "enlightened teacher" starts a sentence and another finishes it. I like to hear all of what someone has to say then listen to someone else. I get the feeling maybe the message was manipulated from a bunch of sound bites. Do all the teachers agree to the same exact message as it was presented? Doubtful but possible I guess.

It is never revealed how the "enlighten teachers" found out about "the secret". What board of directors of which major successful corporation did they come from?

There is this great underground conspiracy to keep "the secret" a secret? Just think of all the sorrow those greedy bastards could have prevented if they had only let the world know "their" secret.

I wonder if any of the "enlighten teachers" are available for lectures or seminars. Maybe they have written books or will be writing books. Will we ever hear from any of them again?

At least I learned why we worship movie stars and professional athletes. They must be spiritually superior to all of us because they are able to manifest both wealth AND fame. How much closer to being a god can you possibly get?

Our minds flitter from thing to thing and the universe is simply not smart enough to figure that out? It goes to work, full speed, on whatever happens to enter our minds for the moment? Too bad the Universe doesn't possess the intelligence to discern what it is we really want deep down in our souls and just concentrate on that.
