Video Summary:
Were you one of those swept up in the clamor about “The Secret” (the movie and / or the book)? Were you convicted by it to make your thoughts more optimistic and focused? How long did that last? A day? A week? Or did you miss the movie, and wonder what you missed as your friends enthusiastically raved about how great it was?
While the movie was based on the Law of Attraction, a well-respected precept of psychology that states “like attracts like,” the movie fails to equip the most disciplined among us to make those inspiring changes. Perhaps it would be unfair to expect that much from any movie. But it also is not a fair representation of Law of Attraction. Neither has it been much of a secret. If you didn’t know about it, perhaps you haven’t been listening.
The movie is more an unnecessary justification for Law of Attraction drawn from metaphysics, paranormal phenomenon, and quantum physics, overlaid with slick marketing techniques, couched in the words of “experts.” More disturbing, viewers may come away with the impression that they’ve been relieved of the responsibility to strive for success — they need but “put it out to the universe” to get their just desserts. Just as disturbing, those who are beating their heads against walls trying to be a success may interpret that delay as a sign from the universe that it’s not meant to be. The Law of Attraction does not give you a pass.
@Amy Aguirre I agree. Ultimately with enough self development your life
will flow like a refreshing mountain spring. But it usually takes a lot of
discipline to get there.
This is one of the paradoxes of personal development: on the one hand you
need to flow with life to be happy. On the other hand, you have exercise
extreme discipline to be happy. Most people go too much in one direction or
the other. It’s a delicate balance that’s different for each person. Some
of us are too lazy. Some of us are too self-critical.
Ultimately you have to do hard work in an effortless way. This is not truly
a contradiction. It’s the secret of all successful people.
Thanks for sharing the vid, Amy :)

I watched the secret and didn’t take it seriously.. then one day I was in
serious trouble.. I was unemployed.. and in time evicted from my
apartment.. the first hour on the street homeless around 8-9am.. I decided
to use the Secret and sit by the pavement and wish for a house.. a job and
lots of money.. with my eyes closed and visualizing with a pleasant
smile… in one minute a man came and asked me to house sit for his company
which owns many properties and they need people to live in those houses
till they are sold off or renovated. I live in a 2 million US dollar house
in Bedford Johannesburg.. that’s not all .. later same day right after
moving to this house I was given 50 US dollars by a handsome gentleman for
no good reason and he asked nothing in return. Later that afternoon
received a call which was a job offer as an design architect (for which I
am qualified) which offered free accommodation clothing allowance and a
driver and car(S Class Merc-Benz allocated to me for all travel purposes..
THE SECRET WORKS!! if you lack faith in its magic element its your
limitation don’t spread that.. Dreams continue to manifest for me and I
don’t do much more than imagine and believe..
You say one’s mind is controlling one’s body… Who, then, is the “one”?
I believe man is a spirit and through the mind the spirit controls the body
to act in the physical world. And I believe that the spirit does attract
back – in the physical world – that which it sends out.
Once I heard a voice that didn’t come from me but sounded like me. It told
me what would happen. I did use the law of attraction. Praying, visualising
and then in desperation let go. That was “supernatural”. So in MY
experience there is something else out there. Unfortunately hasn’t happened
since.
Electrons are affected by Quantum physics. Electrical signals in the brain
are caused by electrons. To say the brain is not affected by Quantum
physics is not true.
Hi Leo. I have watched almost all you videos and they have helped me a lot
to eliminate the negativity. However, I have been following ‘The Law of
Attraction” since 5 years and have achieved a lot of success. I seriously
didn’t like this video of yours. You sound rude Leo. People respect and
follow you, don’t forget it. Please stop criticizing Friend. See the
‘title’ of your video is ‘The Secret – The Truth They Didn’t Tell You”.
But what truth have you revealed in this video???? Like many said in the
comments ‘you, in a way, demotivated the people’. I agree with your point
that one should be disciplined and hard working to get the money ones want,
but Leo do you know this “When you really want something and you visualize
it with a proper feelings and passion, you automatically put efforts to
achieve it and the beauty is ‘you don’t even feel that you are working
hard’, it becomes very easy, You just start enjoying what you do and of
course “Law of Attraction” will help you achieve it. That’s what exactly
they are saying in ‘THE SECRET’ movie.
Not to be rude , but I prefer Abraham Hicks teachings because they ACTUALLY
know what they are talking about , you watched the movie and are trying to
apply it , so this is NEW to you , your a NOVICE at BEST … You should not
be making videos influencing other people’s views and opinions giving out
miss leading and miss guided information. You can really screw someone up
in their mind about this topic with your wrong information. Please Refrain.
The law of attraction isn’t about sitting there and waiting for your ideas
to magically show up. Its about only looking for the good & shifting your
focus. It’s about transitioning your mindset into alignment of what you
really want. I am a firm believer that your thoughts manifest into a
physical form. I’ve monitored my thoughts & everyone around me for over a
year. From my observation 100% your body, your life, & all your
circumstances have been created by your thoughts & beliefs. You are
basically a mirror reflection of your mind.
This movie is misleading in one way…tricking people into being satisfied
with materialistic things. People don’t get you will never receive that
million or that vacation until you sincerely feel you are grateful for
everything in this present moment. This movie lead my mind to finding even
greater resources such as Esther Hicks, Dr. Wayne Dyer, and even learning
the basic teachings of Buddhism.
I do believe this mindset is basically a “secret.” They don’t teach this
stuff in grade school and the medias got everyone believing this earth is a
cruel place. The minute we all stop talking & thinking about what we don’t
want & don’t have we’ll all reach enlightenment. Its almost like we are all
in resistance. The truth knocks on the door and you say, ‘Go away, I’m
looking for the truth,’ and so it goes away…puzzling.
No matter what happens to you in life, being happy and completely satisfied
only can be found from within your mind. When you are thinking remember
these three words: Like attracts like. +Actualized.org
This video could have been so much shorter. You could have made your point
in a much shorter amount of time.
I would take your advice more seriously if u were as successfull as the
people on the video !!!
I agree with the video. It’s basic psychology. The mind is like a magnet.
It is drawn to what you think about. Like telling yourself “not to think of
a pink elephant” is surefire way to think about said elephant. That’s why
you have to use positives instead of negatives. Don’t say “Don’t be sad” –
you say “cheer up!” instead. Subconsciously, by having “sad” in there you
are drawn to the emotional meaning of the word, not the message of the
sentence,
All I know is that we have no right to criticize the movie. Most of the
people, if not all of the people in the “The Secret” are millionaires and
very successful. It is naive of us to criticize them. I felt myself trying
to criticize but you know what, I’m a broke college student. We all have to
grow some balls and follow what the successful do to get what they have.
Also, you missed the point of the movie man! It says that you not only have
to visualize and have specific thoughts of what you want! But to actually
have feeling as if you’ve already got
It and have done it! Of course you are gonna work hard and do the right
things when you have a very specific thing/s in your mind and you know how
it good it feels to have it. Of course you have to have discipline! When
your mind is focused, it will attract what you want and you will do
whatever you need to do to make it happen because that’s all you are
thinking about!
We all need to take a step back, look ourselves in the mirror and stop
criticizing others and take responsibility for ourselves. We need to have
more respect for successful people and do what they do. Cause at the end of
the day we aren’t happy and we are broke. We need to have an attitude of a
student/learner and learn from the best. It would be so stupid and arrogant
to criticize the successful and act like we are right when we are actually
doing it all wrong.
Could you add English subtitle on your video? It will be helpful for me,
thanks.
Bro……. As u say…..its easy to criticize things……. And u r doing
the same…….hypocrite…
My friend,I heard you,for the first time i live a comment,here it is,, YOU
are WRONG, AND A NOT HONEST,,,,YOU CAN LEARN MORE AND THEN TRY TO
TEACH,,WISH YOU HEALTH, WEALTH, AND HAPPYNESS.:-)
Law of attraction is just a simple mechanism. If you have good thought, you
do good things… and chances are, you mingle with good people and they
return you a good favor. If you have bad thought, you do bad things which
attract revenge. If you have good thought, you are contented. You would
definitely felt blessed even as a starving African kid than a multi
billionaire American. Out of 100% law of attraction practitioners, maybe
50% only finds it working for themselves (probably started very well to
begin with) and the rest just kept their mouth shut wondering what has
happened to them. A simple religion is actually sufficient to provide all
these but i guess it is just a re-branding of an old stuff to make it look
like it has finally been founded.
This can be accomplished by meditating, having a healthy lifestyle which
directly influence your mind, body and soul to be productive and make
correct decision in your everyday life.
If the universe will re-arrange it for you, maybe it is just what the
ancient called it as karma, dharma or whatever that is. Please bear in mind
while that may be true, there is also another thing called law of nature. A
random event like volcano may just erupt at your doorstep or an earthquake
tearing your house down without considering who you are. Your bad neighbor
might won a lottery the next day too.
There is nothing too great or secretive in the law of attraction, really.
You must not use metaphysic as a excuse for everything or over wishing
things that may be a cost to others. If you really have a strong insight,
you should have known by now this movement has already or will be lead
astray with add-ons and other unofficial material to support. There is no
doctrine to govern this.
Freedom comes from Discipline…absolutely
People learn meditation,then never meditate…..uhmm
So why Learn… Same as your words…
here a suggest you should make a secret of your own
I think one a person have no choice left in life no motivation can help
that person. Sometimes person face those kinds of thing which he can’t
control or get rid of it. But I do agree mind controlling is a big aspect
to create a better life but sometimes you just feel helpless and nothing
can work at that time
I totally agree with you.Is just common sense !
I wished myself dog food … i imagend myself with 2 packs (140 Euro),
bringing them in the basement,, i did this 3 or 4 times, by the way!
Sometimes i made the mistake that i thought i have to earn the money, to
then by the food… but i let go of this thought just imagning this, with a
great feeling! Then it took some time.. and then a weird constellation i
never thought of appeared….
2 friends from my mother were asking if they can come and visit me in
Austria… So i asked them if it would be possible that they could bring
one pack dog food with them… and bird food for the winter… because they
came from Germany and there things are cheaper! So then when my dog food
got empty they arrived.. 😉 also very nice.. same day! I only orderd 1
pack, they brought 2! I was thinking oh, i am not abel to pay this.. 😉 i
put the thought away.. something will appear!
SO I BROUGHT THE DOG FOOD WITH THE SAME FEELING I WAS IMAGENING IN THE
BASEMENT!
Also they were bringing a champagner Magnum, and Kavier.. wahhh… never
had this befor….i also got cooked every day, and we were gooing out a few
times.. they always payed… i was very greatful… at the end of these
days, i was aksing how much they get for the food… and the answer was
NOTHING… wuhuuu… hihi…
I am living in the house of my mother (she got it from my grandfather, i
live there alone) So they also payed her for the time they stayed
there….. this was a really nice manifestation.. hihi…
SO THE UNIVERS MADE THEM DECIDE TO COME TO AUSTRIA!!! OR????
I know i was asking them to bring the food.. bla bla bla… but there
desission to come and the other things were magic! And these things, i
truely prever when i manifest… when i think.. oh,,, lets see… just
visualice.. let go.. take it easy.. it comes easy! Without training, or bla
bla… take it easy i my philoSophie… 😉
Thank YOU very much that you take your time to make all these
videos!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! God and the Univers bless You in the
best way!!! Good soul!!! LOVE!!!!!!
Dude, you like like fucking powder, the guy from the movie. Holy crap. U
ever get that?
how gullible people can be to believe just by thinking about a possession
they will achieve it. The author of the secret new about this and made a
lot of money on it.
Leo – Great critique of The Secret. Agree with it. But how do you reconcile
this with your videos on ego. You say you use the secret for you business
and sex live and things for you, yet your videos on enlightment and
happiness are all about how the ego is the biggest problem. How do you
reconcile the two?
You should just keep your mouth shut. You’re a fucking idiot!
THANK YOU…
I love the idea that “nothing is everything, and everything is nothing.”
Love your talk, but you should check out the research on microtubials
before you write off quantum effects:
http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S1571064513001188
I think their is a lot of nuttiness around this issue, but Penrose’s theory
is as of yet not disproven.
Having the self discipline and motivation to follow the laws of attraction
is very difficult.
There is too much chaos going on the world at this time and too much
negativity attached to it.
Everyday you hear or see or read something and it kicks you in the gut.
We cannot be positive all of the time, we are after all human and not robot.
Having said that, every negative has a positive if you are willing to look
and feel.
So by trying to turn a negative aspect about yourself into a positive
aspect then good things should start happening and by the way, it will
happen in the way you least expect it to.
Keep your eyes and ears open.
Trust your gut instinct and truly visualize what you need not what you want.
Be careful for what you wish for.
Be grateful when you receive.
My three points are: ASK> BELIEVE> RECEIVE and say THANK YOU
Thought add this last point.
It’s not a case of just thinking to your self i want money for example. The
only way I can explain is its like thinking with your heart and believing
with out any form of doubt that it will come to pass. It’s very difficult
to do or explain. It’s like trying to explain to somebody how Cola taste to
somebody who has never tasted it. You can explain its sweet but can’t
describe the actual taste specifically.
It’s not about the amount you think about something. It’s the way you think
about something. Fine tuning you mind to give out the correct frequency
similar to different sleep pattern waves.
Hope this is useful to somebody
I been thinking about Iceland the country, because I happen to edit an
article on Hallgrimur Church architecture, then the next day or two I got
an email about a cheap fight + hotel package to Reykjavik. I thought it was
amazing… so I’m now choosing the dates to go. I’m really excited about
it! I trust the things you say and feel you’re a genuine guy. Not sure if I
wanna watch The Secret movie….I read the book. I would say most of what
i’ve thought about has actualised… but it took a while to get there and
believe it could happen!
And God damn … those lips look like they are going to attract some
attention really . They look like they are sending some waves to us .
You are brilliant! I quite enjoyed this video. Looking forward to
watching your other videos. Thank you!
Really like watching your videos. Your awesome! Thank you!
The fact that you spend most of the video bashing The Secret and claiming
it and the people, concepts, and ideas presented are hogwash gives you far
less credibility then if you just stated, ” this is logical way I perceive
and apply the principals taught in The Secret, and it’s been quite
advantageous for me”.
Just a thought.
hi there, just been watching your vids and your right with a lot of
things.. however i do feel this info has been held back from the common
man.. simply putting it…..if we all had an hour a day studying this topic
during our school years, from our first days to when we leave colege?
people would already been on there way too success. people wouldnt need to
watch videos on youtube or needing to find books ect in order to
understand… ust a thought.
thanks
Yes yes yes, you have to do the work.
I have a WHOLE lot of things / spiritual truths written for 21st Century,
where I CORRECT the misteachings of these new age gurus,
perhaps we could collaberate on a novel of same together?
sorry for spelling/typos, am disabled so it’ shard for me to make the
corrections, THANKJS@
