Things like this always amuse me... when people have such a strong opinion about things they haven't even fully checked out.

I've checked out enough half-baked New Age crap in my life to be able to reliably predict what's going to be in the movie. It's all watered down versions of great philosophies and religions. For instance, this one seems to basically take some Tantric Buddhist practices and ideas and make them accessible.

New age BS.

Somebody is bilking a bunch of folks outta money.

IMO, "The Secret" is incredibly shallow. It promotes greed and the selfish desire for material goods. It gives an overly simplistic and unrealistic outlook on life. It leaves people praying and thinking constantly about wealth and possessions, and gives them the false hope that all they need to do is want these things more.

And the way they try to mask this idea, as if it were some long lost formula hidden away in a tunnel, is just outright silly.

Think positively and work towards your goals, but don't think that the universe is going to provide you with all of your petty little material wants simply because you really really want them.

This reminds me of that HeadOn stuff. I'm sure there are people out there who will swear up and down that it works, that applying the chap-stick like substance on their skin is somehow going to penetrate their skull and relieve a headache.
