"The Secret" Anaylsis

        The film "The Secret" was produced by Prime Time Productions in 2006. It provides a very basic understanding of an ancient secret wisdom that says you can manifest events in your life through the virtue of your own thoughts, otherwise known as the Law of Attraction. Why have they kept this a secret for so long and can it be true? A secret science of pray was once said to be shared among ancient societies and traditions of the past. Why do we not share these same traditions today? The empowering wisdom was lost to western traditions with the disappearance of rare texts as well. How did others discover the secret recently and what exactly is the secret capable of? Through the eyes of modern science, recent translations of texts such as the Dead Sea Scrolls, the Nag Hammadi Library and Gnostic manuscripts discovered in Egypt have shed new light on what used to be considered as only ancient folklore and fairy tales. The secret is capable of empowering the mind to do whatever you believe is possible. You have total control of your thoughts and mind with nothing out of reach. 
       Personally the film changed my view on how well you can control being positive and that nothing is out of reach. At times things become challenging, you loose faith, and want to give up because you are not taking full advantage of the positive thoughts waiting to be revealed. The film changed my view point towards my own spirituality and gave me a sense of connection with the topic. The mind is capable of analyzing and retaining tons of information, but how can we control it better? An affirmative thought is a thousand times greater than one negative thought. You are the masterpiece of your mind creating a life based off how you perceive your thoughts and actions.  By truly believing something will happen and setting your mind to achieving it in whatever way possible is what I believe to be the secret. Us humans do not realize we are capable of so much more, if we only put our minds to it and truly stuck with figuring out every solution. Be passionate with your thoughts, strive for what you believe is best, and think positive in all situations to make the secret happen.
       The film was short and to the point, but really lacked smooth transitions. Each contributor seemed knowledgable on the subject, but had their own opinion of what they believed made the secret possible. The film visually made it clear that the subject at hand was from ancient times and included science. The background behind the contributors were all creative and flashback images were used to help the viewer better understand what is being explained. The idea was thoroughly explained using many people to help express the message.  It has impacted my life pushing me to change my mindset and use this secret to my advantage. I would recommend anyone I know to watch this documentary and to learn of the secret.
