The Ugly Secrets Behind The Secret by Rhonda Byrne



 

Rhonda Byrne's DVD movie and book, The Secret, has been a phenomenal success in regards to sales and marketing.  Hundred of thousands, perhaps even millions of people credit The Secret for their own personal successes.  Admittedly, I too gave it more credit than I should have instead of giving myself due credit for my own efforts at success. 

However, the more involved I became with the marketing and sales of The Secret as an independent retailer, the more I became aware of reports of hypocrisy within The Secret production and publication companies.  Much has transpired since its release in March of 2006 and The Secret has become central to a great deal of controversy.  You may even include the topic of The Secret amongst the things NOT to talk about on a first date such as politics, religion, and abortion.  Any of these topics, now including The Secret will likely find you in the midst of a heated argument and perhaps even losing a friend or two depending on your perspective.

I've created this site in an effort to provide qualified information supporting both sides of this interesting debate.  Having first hand experiences with the good and bad about The Secret by Rhonda Byrne, I can assure you that I will try to be as fair as possible in presenting both sides so that you may render your own informed decision, whether for or against.

Please consider the below information for entertainment purposes only.  Do NOT make any life-altering decisions based on anything you've read or viewed on this site, OR within The Secret itself for that matter!  This site is intended to provide commentary and critique of The Secret and/or its cast.  I've built these "pros and cons" sections upon separate blogs to provide YOU with an opportunity to also participate and comment on the entries made and their sources.  Please be mindful that opposing points of view can and should be expressed without malice or attacking anyone's character or integrity (even if they've left themselves open to it).

The Secret - Do You Know?

By John | October 12, 2007

This article is provided simply as a brief overview of what ”The Secret” is and the sources of inspiration that Rhonda Byrne used to create her project.  The only exception I take to this article is its reference to the “Jade Tablet” which in fact should be the “Emerald Tablet.”  Reference to the Emerald Table is provided from Wikipedia at the end of this article if you wish to further your knowledge 0n what that is.  Aside from that, you may simply be satisfied knowing that it was one of the things that Rhonda Byrne used as inspiration in creating The Secret.

    ARTICLE

More than likely, you have heard about the latest sensation sweeping the nation -or the globe for that matter. Oprah Winfrey was so excited about it that she dedicated two shows to it because the response to the first one was so overwhelming that reactions and questions overflowed her website -resulting in the biggest response ever to a single subject in the history of her run on Network T.V. If by some small chance you don’t know what I am talking about, let me back up here.

In 2006 the creator of this world wide phenomenon was “Given the first glimps of a great secret!” Her life was literally falling apart at the seams. Her father died unexpectedly, her personal and professional relationships were suffering and she was at one of the lowest points of her entire life. It was at this time that her daughter Haley gave her a book entitled “The Science of Getting Rich” That had been written in the early 1900s by a man named Wallace Wattles. The book and its contents literally changed her life!

Determined to get the message out she researched its ideas and principles and traced it as far back as the “Jade Tablet” this was an Egyptian Artifact that told of a secret that promised - and more astonishing still, was said to deliver unlimited wealth to any and all who practiced its process! As time went on the Romans got their hands on what they believed was the sacred relic. However, it was not the actual tablet itself, for the real tablet had been buried and someone had merely transfered its duplicate on to a secondary medium unbeknownst to the Roman Empire. It was then said to have been banned by the Roman Catholic Church. As even more time went by, eventually this information found its way back into the mainstream only to be coveted by those who had learned of its potential power and an agreement was then made to not allow its secret to be passed on the the general public. Those who knew the secret wanted to keep it from others -so that they could have more for themselves.

Those who came across “The Secret” by their own means of sheer will and fortitude - became the greatest names in history. Aristotle, Shakespeare, Hugo, Abraham Lincoln, Carnagie and Edison to name just a few…they knew “The Secret”. Now it available to those who wish to implement its principles for control and gain in their own lives. So, you may now be asking “How is this done? As it is explained in the video, there are 3 steps one must fallow to achieve their hearts desire.

Step 1 is first you must Ask.

Be specific and know exactly what it is you wish to manifest.

Step 2 is you must Believe.

Believe that what you are asking for is already on its way to you!

Step3 is you will then Receive.

The idea here is if you are grateful for all you currently have, you can get all you want.

I would suggest that you review the video for yourself and draw your own conclusions, but keep in mind that this whole idea governs around “The Law of Attraction”. Science itself it seems is behind Einsteins question “Is the Universe friendly to our desires?”. Think about it for a minute…why would someone as brilliant as Einstein suggest such a thing? Why do two of the leading experts in the field of Quantum Physics lend their support to this concept -in not only this film, but they and many others also appear in the movie “What The Bleep Do We Know?” The understanding of how “What we think about…we bring about!” has suddenly become a key factor of debate within the Scientific Community.

According to “The Secret”, our attention and our thoughts put us in line with a certain “Channel” or “Frequency” this is what is defined as “The Law of Attraction” it essentially tends to give us what we focus on or think about the most. It does not distinguish between what we do and do not want. It instead looks at what and where we continue to give the majority of our time and attention to thinking about. If you are constantly thinking of pain, suffering and sadness more will show up in your life to give you pain, suffering and sadness. If however, you think about joy, health and wealth these things will also show up for you as well. What it all comes down to in the end is you are the creator of your life, and you can create it the way you want it to be…Now there’s a secret worth sharing!

Karen Giardunio is a single mother who resides in the mountains just north or Boulder Colorado. Through the power of the sweeping concept of “The Law Of Attraction!” she was able to personally connect herself with two of the leading experts in the field of Internet Marketing and Personal Development.
