Australian film producer, Rhonda Byrne, was brilliant in her application of her personal discovery of “The Secret” as she so nicely called it. To her, the production was inspired by intuition based on her life experiences at the time and what was gently revealed to her by her daughter. Before her daughter shared with her the book that contained “The Secret,” Ms. Byrne was is a whirlwind of seeming disasters that kept pummeling her to desperation. She framed the movie in such a way that related to most people’s pain.
I’m sure that by now, most people know what “The Secret” is. But from Ms. Byrne’s point of view, before her realization, it definitely felt like a secret. Quoting her in the movie, she thought to herself, “Why doesn’t anyone know this?” She felt it had been hidden from her, although people who have been practicing “The Secret” would feel as if it clearly wasn’t a secret at all.
The ancient Universal Law of Attraction is the secret that the documentary-like film is based on. Actually, Ms. Byrne and her crew at Prime Time Productions deliberately employed this Universal Law to help create the movie. What the movie helped to reveal to people is that once you are consciously aware of this Law, then you can pinpoint how it’s already working in your life, allowing situations to occur that you, yourself, have attracted.
Many people frowned upon the movie for several reasons. One of these reasons is that the filmmaker’s perception focused too heavily on attracting “things” or “stuff.” The movie had segments that focused on attracting anything you wanted: love, health, money, a better job, to get rid of debt, a life partner, healing disease…what most people desire in their lives. The counterpoint to this is that the presentation of this information came from a perception that you’re either attracting or repelling the very things that you want. So, even though the presentation was such that it could seem “materialistic” or shallow, the realization is that Ms. Byrne was simply presenting several different examples and explanations of “this is what you’re getting and why.” She nicely demonstrated also in these examples, “Now that you know about the Law of Attraction, here’s how YOU can change your situation for the better.”
Another reason some people frowned upon The Secret is because it didn’t focus on the allowing portion as well as the blockage-release portion of applying the Law of Attraction so that it works in your favor. Many people hold on to subconscious beliefs and thought patterns that they aren’t even aware of. These thoughts and emotions are attracting also. So many new Law of Attraction practitioners may be getting frustrated as to why the Law of Attraction “isn’t working” for them. The movie served as an awakening to your own personal power, and it scratched the surface, revealing to mankind how they play an important role in shaping reality. No one said the movie was the total sum of how everything works, but it did say that the Law of Attraction is always working, and it provides an answer to what was, what is, and what will be.
Since the Universe is dichotomous in nature, there are always going to be critics and people who offer their opinion. But realize the opinions that you view and resonate with, you attracted and it’s OK. Rhonda Byrne lit a flame that sparked a re-awakening of inspiration and conscious co-creation that planet earth was ready for on a larger scale, or else “The Secret” would have stayed “a secret.” Australian film producer, Rhonda Byrne, was brilliant in her application of her personal discovery of “The Secret” as she so nicely called it.
