Guest guest Posted September 6, 2006 Report Share Posted September 6, 2006 Felica, Wow! Because of Network marketing (which I stunk profusely at incidently) I started reading other types of materials and listning to tape series that discussed co-creation of reality along with a lot of other subject matters as well. In fact, I have read and listened to a an abundance of it, and that is why I was not in jaw dropping awe of the movie. I didn't say I didn't enjoy it, I didn't discredit it for anyone else. I merely said it was not new material for me personally. Is that awful? My son was totally blown away by it. And I thought to myself, wow, what I wouldn't have given to have been given that information at 15? PS if I tried to give him that material he would have tuned me out and not listened to a single word of it! Cuz like, I am his mother, and well you know...I don't know squat about the world. Yes, " pep rallys " (I had to laugh, because my upline use to get so annoyed at me because that's exactly what I use to call them verbatim!) do gloss over the material, but usually they will give you a really awesome book or author's name, and that's when the good stuff comes in. That's what I ended up plugging into that started me on my own personal journey. I did learn a lot about products from network markting, but the wonderful thing is the education I received. It also initiated a frenzy and unsatable thrist for knowledge in so many different paths, some that I never even knew about! So although I am a network marketing flunkie, it was the greatest thing I ever failed at! And as far as my life being everything I want it to be? I certainly hope not! I would never want to be stagnated with complaceancy of perfection! If things were so perfect why would I want to keep wanting to empower myself further and grow and learn? I always want my life to be a verb, not a noun. The books, tapes and lectures that I have been exposed to merely put me in a persoanl position to be very familiar with co-creating your reality. For about 35 years one of my group's favorite phrases has been " if you think your great you're half way there. " Of course being in our 20's we were usually gossiping about someone who was in our opinion egotistical. But even in our youth we somehow recoginzed that what YOU think IS YOUR own personal reality. We just learned it in a negative context from the shadow side of the lesson! The secret just was not new material for me. And I think I said for ME when I wrote my post. It just was not my ah-ha moment about it. I was not discrediting it, just mentioning that it's not new material as many authors have discussed it for centuries on many different levels. But it somehow isn't a household word yet, much like collective conciousness! I didn't mean to have you believe I was discrediting it. Me in my infinite truthfullness bluntly just said what I thought. I hope I didn't co-create an online enemy! (Sorry, I couldn't let that one go by...so me! so corny!) Much love, Lorain And yes, Felica Marissa Brooklyn <strawberrysucker 2006/09/05 Tue AM 09:56:51 CDT Re: Re: Has anyone seen the movie, " The Secret " ? So your life is exactly the way you want it to be? Or you don't believe that you create your own life? Network MArketing isn't for everyone....I have heard the meeting pep talks and such, but that was nothing compared to the movie, the science that explains the metaphysical part...I'm sorry you were disappointed. --- TheKoolLottes wrote: > Having been in so many network marketing > organizations and having been exposed to a lot of > this type of material, I myself was not very > impressed with the Secret, because I have heard a > lot of this over and over again.

Guest guest Posted September 6, 2006 Report Share Posted September 6, 2006 Lorain, well that was an really good explaination!!!! I just thought you were disappointed, which made me frown....I actually am pretty successful so this movie just affirmed what I already know to be true, but the way it came across to me assured me that I can be more aware and make every area of my life just as successful. I don't make enemies, ever. I love even those who think I'm way weird....for I once was standing in their shoes judging someone for something...now I just don't care because I know who I am and what I'm worth! lol --- TheKoolLottes wrote: > Felica, > > Wow! > > Because of Network marketing (which I stunk > profusely at incidently) I started reading other > types of materials and listning to tape series that > discussed co-creation of reality along with a lot of > other subject matters as well.

Guest guest Posted September 6, 2006 Report Share Posted September 6, 2006 The Secret is kind of like the movie What the Bleep Do We Know, in that those of us who have already been exposed to most of the information were not " blown away " by it, bet we have enjoyed them both. Not to invalidate it, it's just that we already had a grasp of what they were saying. The ones that were truly awakened by these two messages are people that have not been exposed to these ideas before. And so these two movies are a great product for introduction and hopefully will lead those people into further research and introspection. samala Renee ---- From In fact, I have read and listened to a an abundance of it, and that is why I was not in jaw dropping awe of the movie.

Guest guest Posted September 7, 2006 Report Share Posted September 7, 2006 Felica, You know without the ability to hear tone it is sooooo easy to get the wrong idea via email. The only thing that I did find disappointing, and this was just due to coincidence, was that I started reading a book about the Emerald Tablet, and I saw them doing something with an Emerald Tablet, so I thought it was going to be about that. But it was a superficial dissappointment if you know what I mean. Thinking your getting a chocolate eclair and it's turns out to be a piece of chocolate cake. I just was so into the book I was reading that I sort of made a snap judgement. But the movie is a good introduction to the subject. Glad I co-created a friend ha ha ha!
