| Original version is better than the "extended" edition | |
|  | Having seen both the original and "extended" versions of The Secret, I agree the original edition with Esther Hicks (before she was cut out by Rhonda Byrne) is definitely the better of the two. It's worth noting the extended version doesn't contain more content, just another speaker substituted in for Ms. Hicks who doesn't actually add to the DVD one way or another. As mentioned by others the law of attraction is not a newly discovered concept and hardly a "secret", and yes there's more to it than this DVD would have you think. This program treats the subject matter superficially, and I found the special effects in the beginning to be cheesy and over the top. The Secret is heavy on hype and promise, but falls short on delivery.
I've read about the Law of Attraction and other universal laws over the years, and am usually excited enough about the subject matter to love most of the media I've encountered. Not so in this case. If this is your first introduction to the law of attraction then it's better than nothing (perhaps - so long as the superficial and decidedly materialistic slant doesn't put you off). So it's not complete in itself, but it does offer a taste of more to come through other sources. If you insist on seeing what the hype is about be sure to see the original version. There are still copies of the original available if you do an online search. But I'd save myself the money and borrow it from the library.
I first saw the extended version and was hugely disappointed. Then at the prompting of a friend I saw the original edition which compelled me to look into Esther Hicks' other works. Happily her DVDs and books approach this subject on a deeper and more meaningful level. (If you can, watch "The Secret Behind the Secret" DVD. Episodes 2 and 3 are mesmerizing.) I give the extended edition of The Secret half a star, and the original version 3 stars for Ms. Hicks' participation and early collaboration on the project.
| | | This is a documentary trying to make you believe there is a "secret" about how to attract and obtain more positive things happen to you in your daily life told by certain individuals such as authors, actors, mathematicians, visionaries, doctors, scientists, religious characters and some that apparently experienced "The Secret"... ok if you want to believe everything said in this video. The 2 stars are for certain of the individuals being interviewed to make us believe such a thing because they are truthfully entertaining, plus you want to listen until the end just to see how much BS they can really talk about in 90 minutes. My last words are that I'm thankful I didn't pay for this infomercial!
| | | The secret is using principles in the bible, without Jesus. Ex, ask, believe and receive. It leads you to believe that the world is a gigantic Genie and anything yo ask you will get. Your like serving a god of self. New age stuff just seem to be sweeping people into false doctrines. But without God it's all meaningless and broken. Not recommended.
| | NOTHING compared to the original | |
| | This new "extended version" which EXCLUDES Esther Hicks speaking for Abraham is nowhere near as profound as the original version. They basically take out all the parts with Esther and get Lisa Nichols to try and convey the same concepts, which she does... quite poorly. Not to discredit Lisa Nichols, but she is trying to speak for Abraham and not from herself and her own ideas which in the end comes out unclear and uninspiring. Although I am grateful for The Secret, this version has lost it's impact that the original had, it sounds so hokey now and although it will easily help to assist the already believers of the law of attraction, it doesn't stand a chance of inspiring the skeptics.
Buy - The Secret Behind "The Secret" - with Esther and Jerry Hicks instead. I don't care who you are, that will blow your hair back.
| | | Most of what is said in this film, has already been said in "what the bleep do we know".
"The Secret" is like one long running infomercial. The Producers 'manifested" this for their own profit & gain. Why didnt they simply give this information away if its such a miracle?
And what about manifesting world peace & human equality? Instead of new cars & vacations...
