The whole
over-production of "The Secret" carries mixed messages and hidden intent. Rather than coming from a genuine place, to me, it moved like an ad designed to "sell" the secret. Make it sound rare, make it mysterious, and promise sudden wealth to those who learn to use it. The biggest promise I took from the DVD were the certainty of all the spin-off products for those involved in it's making.
There have been many genuinely motivated mainstream books written on this so-called guarded secret, that date back a few decades.
As a Man Thinketh by James Allen, and
Three Magic Words by U.S. Andersen come to mind.
I'm not at all surprised to see the lack of honest intent by David Schirmer. Let's hope it serves as a reminder to us to be clear about where we stand, act accordingly -- and really mean it.
Cheers,
