Was this whole thing worked up one night over cocktails on a bar napkin? There’s no secret here, just a bunch of talk that, in the end, means nothing and gives nothing; least of all a secret. Yet somehow this warranted a book _and_ a DVD? Amazing.
The secret here is that people have been bilked out of money for a lot of fluff and nonsense.
You accept claims without evidence. You don’t search for truth on your own because you are lazy. You are so desperate that you will believe anything that makes you feel good and worthy. You are mindless shells who are easily guided.
This is just a repackaging of information that has always been readily available. They took Celestine prophecy and mixed it with Zukav type pseudo-science, a tad of Dale Carnegie and sugar coated it with a dash of Campbell (taken out of context).
Aside from the convoluted message, the presentation style is a sound bite mixture that cannot stay on target or be very consistent. If they could focus on one person and them finish a thought we might have had a chance to see if there was any logic in what they said. Maybe because of time constraints there was no proper background set for the premise.
They lost my interest when one of the presenters said look at your hand it is just energy. Energy has no value in it its self it is what you make of it. I could say you are 97% water. Big deal; that gives no magical value to water.
This presentation preys on the gullible that have lost touch with reality. Instead of explaining how a light switch works they assume the viewer is too stupid and just say use it. In this way, them the presenter skirts around reality and five the viewer a false since of empowerment while making a few bucks on the side.
Now if we focus on what is presented and not how or who, there may be some credence. Nevertheless, taking Joseph Campbell “Follow Your Bliss” out of context is unforgivable.
The Celestine Prophecy: An Adventure
While there is not much new here, sometimes we need to be reminded of what is important and that we need to love ourselves.
We spend all of our lives processing information through our brain. We attain certain perspectives based on the emotions we attach to given circumstances. Follow me here, I am not sure anyone can ever say they wouldn’t like to have one more shot at …, or if I only knew that.
How many parents would say, wow, I didn’t know I could get that angry.
In the secret, we(well at least some do, those who are ready to learn) learn a very simple method to begin to attain the realization of whats actually going on upstairs. We as individuals create the reality we live in, whether we want to belive it or not. This video, uses neat technology to bring a simple understanding to life. I greatly appreciated the new perspective. If all anyone gets out of this, is a smile, and an appreciation for their day, then it is worth it. We pay so much to help ourselves achieve, when in reality the achievement can only provide momentary bliss, the appreciation of it can last forever.
Another good flick is what the bleep. More ways to see whats going on upstairs with cool visuals.
