Here is what the Wikipedia synopsis of The Secret reveals,
&#8216;The Secret, described as a self-help  film, uses a documentary format to present the Law of Attraction. As described in the film, the &#8220;Law of Attraction&#8221; principle posits that feelings and thoughts can attract events, from the workings of the cosmos to interactions among individuals [...]

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-6097" title="'The Secret' Wisdom of the power of thought" src="http://www.knowledgereform.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/the-secret_seal_on_dark.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="183" /></p>
<p>Here is what the Wikipedia synopsis of <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Secret_%282006_film%29" target="_blank">The Secret</a> reveals,</p>
<blockquote><p>&#8216;The Secret, described as a self-help  film, uses a documentary format to present the Law of Attraction. As described in the film, the &#8220;Law of Attraction&#8221; principle posits that feelings and thoughts can attract events, from the workings of the cosmos to interactions among individuals in their physical, emotional, and professional affairs. The film also suggests that there has been a strong tendency by those in positions of power to keep this central principle hidden from the public.&#8217;</p></blockquote>
<p><span id="more-6041"></span></p>
<p>I have to say, it can&#8217;t be that much of a secret now that every Tom, Dick and Harry knows about it.  And one also has to say that there are many other &#8220;get rich quick&#8221; books on the same subject of supposedly empowering your thoughts towards attracting everything your heart desires.</p>
<p>I&#8217;m trying not to be too cynical here, but some of these type of books and videos can perhaps be called money making exercises (not particular for you), as there is very little evidence to suggest that they actually work for you &#8211; and that is opposed to using good old common sense and self-knowledge (which they do not encourage) to positively negotiate life with.</p>
<p>However, I will remain open minded about the claims of this so-called hidden knowledge, as I do feel that the mind (if liberated and used correctly) can be a powerful tool of wisdom that can both overcome adversity, and offer us a clear path towards achieving our goals in life.</p>
<p>If<strong> &#8216;The Secret&#8217;</strong> (shhh&#8230;it&#8217;s so secret I can&#8217;t talk about it) can somehow provide us with something useful (other than just thinking of ways to accumulate money) that we all can learn from and help improve every facet of our lives, then perhaps it&#8217;s worth a look.</p>
<p>A book that I also want to turn your attention to and that is featured in the post, <a href="http://www.knowledgereform.com/2010/03/11/think-your-way-to-a-successful-life-with-the-master-key-system/" target="_self">&#8216;Think Your Way to a Successful Life with The Master Key System&#8217;</a>, is the <strong>&#8216;The Master Key System&#8217;</strong> written by <strong>Charles F. Haaneland</strong> &#8211; this book is very much in the same vein as &#8216;The Secret&#8217;.  I have only skimmed through the book (yes, I fell for the hype and purchased a copy) thus far, and it does seem to contain some self-empowering passages (in exercise form) if nothing else.</p>
<p>I will let you know if all the things that I truly desire in life come true by me just thinking about them&#8230;but somehow, I&#8217;m not too sure that <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liverpool_F.C." target="_blank">Liverpool FC</a> (an English football team I have supported since a lad) will ever win the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Premier_League" target="_blank">Premier League</a>, no matter how hard I direct my thoughts towards that seemingly impossible dream.</p>

<p><strong>Description</strong></p>
<p>A long-standing classic in the field of self-help, this book is a must read for anyone interested in bettering themselves.</p>
<p>The human mind is more powerful than most people know and this book provides readers with a major key in teaching us how to use it properly.</p>
<p>Thoughts are what truly control your life, and this book can well be considered a kind of &#8220;owner&#8217;s manual&#8221; for the mind.</p>
<p>The teachings are simple but powerful. Chapters include Thought and Character, Effect of Thought on Circumstances, Effect of Thought on Health and the Body, Thought and Purpose, The Thought-Factor in Achievement, Visions and Ideals, and Serenity.</p>

<strong>My Review</strong></p>
<p>Mind over matter is never more apparent than <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/James_Allen_%28author%29" target="_blank">James Allen&#8217;s</a> delightful words which is contained in this book.  Allen, who was probably the first self-help guru to address the human mind, eloquently expresses powerful instruction on how we can better ourselves towards virtue if we choose to master our thoughts.</p>
<p>Allen&#8217;s words are more poetic than formal, and whilst reading you can&#8217;t help but be  mesmerised by his rhetoric rather than taking note on how to apply it to your own mind &#8211; which defeats the purpose the book is trying to achieve.</p>
<p>However, this is a short book which can be read in under an hour, so it is far from heavy reading, and can be easily dipped into whenever you feel the need for some inspiration.  But I suggest you take your time and savor the wisdom and teachings it contains, as you will learn something new with every perusal.</p>
