Manifestation with the movie "The Secret"

[Wolf_Thor]

I saw it the other day. You can find it on the web for free btw.

I found the film to be a bit oversimplistic.

I thought the film was great. It wasn't just about attracting money or fame. It is about attracting anything positive into your life. If you aren't a lover of positive things, we'll, then don't bother, 'cause it's probably just going to irk you. It may be simplistic, but most truths are. Kind of like, "Love thy neighbor as thyself" is simplistic. :D

I love simplicity.
But I didn't say simplistic, I said oversimplistic. :D

Oversimplistic makes it sound like it could be wrapped up in a few sentences right here in this thread. So please describe it.

[Wolf_Thor]

If you've been into the whole New Age scene for awhile, it's really nothing you haven't heard before.
Basically, your thoughts create your reality. If your life sucks, it means you think too negatively. If you think in a positive way, you'll get whatever you want in life. Ask the universe for what you want, be prepared to receive it, think happy thoughts, and your life will be wonderful.

I agree with the message in general, but from my perspective, it's oversimplistic.

I belong to a Yahoo group concerning spirituality. My friend saw this movie a few days ago. She loved it and gave it a much more positive review. Below is her summary:


This was a great movie to inspire and motivate. Although we already
know most of the information it was really motivating. :) Here are
my notes. I know I left out some but these are what I ended up with

Thoughts become feelings

There are only 2 feelings (ones that feel good and ones that feel bad)

Whatever it is you are feeling is a perfect reflection of what is in
the process of becoming.

A shifting of your emotions can change your entire day and life

Begin feeling healthy. Begin feeling prosperous. Begin to feel the
love that is surrounding you, even if it is not there, and the
Universe will correspond to the nature of your song.

What you think and what you feel and what manifests, is always a
match.

Creations is a 3 step process:

1: Ask You must ask the universe and not through words. Your
words are not heard. The universe is responding to your thoughts.

What do you really want? Sit down and write it on a paper in the
present tense. You may start by writing, I am so happy and grateful
that I am… Think of a catalog and you are picking, I would like that
and I would like to experience that…

2: Answer An answer to what you are asking. That is not your
work. The universe will do that for you. The universe will start to
rearrange itself to make that happen. Most of us have never allowed
ourselves to want what we truly want because we can't see how it's
going to manifest. Most people don't know how it's going to work
out, but they just know it will. You don't know how but you will
attract the way.

3: Receive You must bring yourself into alignment with what you're
asking for. When you're in alignment with what you want, you feel
wonderful. When you feel fear, frustration, or anything that feels
bad you are not in alignment with what you are asking.

You may get some inspiration or action to take.

Get in the feeling of the thing you want. Go test drive that car.
Sit in it. Think about it. Feel what it would feel like to be
driving that car.

The universe likes speed. Don't delay. Don't second guess. Don't
doubt. When the opportunity is there. When the impulse is there.
When the intuitive nudge from within is there. Act!!!

You've got to pay attention.

"Take the first step in faith. You don't have to see the whole
staircase. Just take the first step". Dr. Martin King Junior.

How long will it take? There are no rulebooks. It has more to do
with your alignment with the universe.

Most people offer the majority of their thought in response to what
they are observing.

If your just thinking about what is, then the law of attraction gives
you more of it.

We're constantly living in the residuals of our past thoughts and
actions. If you define yourself by that then you doom yourself to
have nothing more than the same in the future.

"All that we are is a result of what we have thought".
Buddha

Powerful processes

Gratitude Start with a list of things to be grateful for because
this shifts your energy. It starts to shift your thinking.

Visualize When you visualize then you materialize. If you go there
in the mind, you go there in the body. Your mind can't distinguish
whether you are really doing it or if it is a practice. When you go
there in the mind, always and only focus upon the end result.

"Imagination is everything. It is the preview of life's coming
attractions."
Albert Einstein

"Whatever the mind of man can conceive, it can achieve."
W Clement Stone


When you have inspired thought you have to trust it and you have to
act on it.

"What you resist, persists"
Carl Jung

Learn to become still and to take your attention away from what you
don't want and all the emotional charge around it and put your
attention on what you wish to experience.

***When the voice and the vision on the inside become more profound
and more clear and loud than the opinions on the outside, you've
mastered your life.***
Dr. John F Demartini DC Bsc Philosopher

You are not here to try to get the world to be just as you want it to
be. You are here to create the world around you that you choose,
while you allow the world as others choose it to be, to exist also.

"Whether you think you can or you can't, either way you are right."
Henry Ford

We are unlimited!!!
"Follow your bliss and the Universe will open doors for you where
there were only walls."
Joseph Cambell

See, I told you it isn't just about money and fame. :lol: The thing is, I know this works because it has in my life. And, not with just little things. With GREAT BIG things. Over and Over and Over.

Worrying about how it is going to manifest IS an issue I have had before, plus the alignment thing, who knew??? :lol:

Seriously, this is a perfect little nugget on manifestation, imo.

where can we see this movie for free?

Well it was at http://video.google.com. That is how I saw it. But it appears that the powers-that-be have since removed it. :cry:

Maybe they were generating some interest in the beginning by allowing some people to see it for free. It's still the best bargain out there at $4.95 to view it. I've paid $30 before to download e-books that weren't as good.

Here's my favorite gem from the movie. I've quoted it verbatim.

"If you knew your potential to feel good, you would ask no one to be different so that you can feel good. You would free yourself of all that cumbersome impossibility of needing to control the world, or control your mate, or control your child. You are the only one who creates your reality. For no one else can think for you. No one else can do it. It is only you. Every bit of it you."

I think it's more likely that someone uploaded copyrighted material when they weren't supposed to. Google realized it, and pulled the plug.
