The Secret

This past Sunday night I found myself walking into the living room of a total stranger who didn’t even know I was coming. Here’s the story of how I ended up there and why.
This past Friday I was attending a meeting with a couple of acquaintances from Toastmasters. There was a woman there named Sandy who told us we had to go see this movie, The Secret, and that someone was screening it in his home on Sunday night. She couldn’t attend but thought we would enjoy ourselves. We all called this English chap and left our phone numbers so we could get directions and time and place. He called me back on Sunday morning and gave me directions.
I headed over there at 6pm, only no one told the hosts I was coming. And so it was that when I knocked on the door I got a blank stare from the owner of the house. He was confused as to how I ended up there. But I knew I was supposed to be there so I simply said with confidence, “Hello, my name is Erin and I know I’m a total stranger but is this the house where The Secret is being shown?” He replied, “Uh, yes.” And I said, “Great, this English chap said it would be okay to come, and by the way, a few other people you don’t know are also coming.” He was a pretty good sport about the whole thing. Very adaptable.
For 30 minutes I sat in their living room noticing no one else arriving. The fellow who was supposed to be bringing the movie wasn’t there, nor was the English chap who directed me there, nor were any of my friends from the previous meeting. But I’m a pretty friendly person and I love meeting new people so everything was okay.
By 7pm, everyone else who was supposed to be there had arrived. Phew. We ate, got to know each other, and then watched the movie.
Okay, so what is The Secret? The Secret is a movie that you simply have to watch. I’m not going to reveal what the Secret is because you’ll be much better off learning about it in the way it was meant to be revealed. How’s that for cryptic?
You can download and watch the movie on a broadband connection for $4.95 or you can purchase the DVD for $29.95 and have a showing in your home like these people did in theirs. I highly recommend you purchase the DVD and invite your friends over. It’s one of those experiences where you’ll want to have a discussion afterwards.
Basically, The Secret will help you manifest anything you want in life. The movie reveals how it’s done. I noticed so many synchronicities as I watched the movie, one of which was that I had just spoken of something similar in my podcast, Embracing Your Passion.
Esther Hicks, who channels an entity known as Abraham, figures prominently in the movie. What he/she has to say will wake you up to a whole new way of thinking that has to be seen to be fully understood. And if you’ve read the book, Ask and It Is Given, then you’re one step ahead.
Check The Secret out for yourself and join us on a path to total manifestation of everything you’ve ever wanted.

I watched it online when it first came out, purchased the DVD and can’t recall the number of times I’ve watched it since. Great movie that’s both informative and uplifting.

Nice! I was actually going to leave a comment for Steve about this movie but couldn’t because his comments were closed.
Anyway, I LOVE this movie. I would definitely say it will change your life when you watch it, it has for me! When I finished watching it I was almost in tears, and I RARELY cry. That’s how inspiring this movie is.

Hi Erin,
Janine and I are the couple from Toastmasters. I must say that we had hardly any intention of making the trip to this mysterious showing of a movie we knew nothing about, especially in a room full of strangers.
But, Erin, Janine and I had met, in passing, at the workshop last week and there, we were taught to always trust our vibes. The vibe we got from Erin was good, strong, and positive, so we figured if she wanted to attend, well, why not tag along?
We are soo happy we did. Ester Hicks, who literally had blown us away at the workshop, was dominant in the movie and seemed to be talking directly to us. Wow, what perfect synchrodestiny! We still can’t get over how spontaneously the events of the evening fell so nicely into place, not to mention how they left us with an incredibly awesome message. I won’t spoil the ” Secret ” but you really should see this.
Thanks again, Erin, let’s do it again.

Great Movie - that magically arrived me exactly the moment when I needed to watch it. I watched it online yesterday and straight away purchased the DVD.
I’m sure I won’t have watched it for the last time!
Thanks, Erin, for this great Link - This movie will at least help to change my ife!

[...] I found a very interesting film (pointed to me by Erin Pavlina) entitled, “The Secret“. From watching the trailer, it has thoroughly intrigued me. It makes a huge promise, that you will be able to manifest anything in your life that you want, and it sounds very interesting. Being a fan of the radically subjective belief system, I naturally want to check this out post-haste. I’ll tell you how it turns out when I’m done… it could end up being really cheesy, but hopefully the message isn’t diluted in the process. [...]

I just watched it, absolutely amazing!
The wierd thing is, I knew all of it already, but hearing prominant people talk about what you hold in your heart is a special experience!

[...] For the the last few weeks I’ve been seeing people on blogs all over the place like Erin Pavlina, Mystic Saint, Lyman’s Blog etc talking about this film called: The Secret. [...]

I watched it and I think now I’ll get a DVD of it and pass it on to the public library! VERY INSPIRING! Come to find out, there were some instances where I’d been using the secret without knowing it! Very good movie. And yes, I was close to tears too.

I kid you not, my dad sent this movie to me and I received it Monday. (although we talked about it before, about 2 weeks ago for a few minutes.) A friend of mine recently had a reading with you in Vegas. I’ve been reading your husband for a few weeks now. I downloaded his podcasts about 1 week and a half ago. Sometime in the last 3 nights I had a dream that you made a guest appearance in, although I don’t recall the dream, except that you and my friend that had the reading with you were there. And this morning, your guest appearance on Steve’s podcast is what was next on my i-shuffle. And your voice helped cut through my own negative self talk that I was having at the moment. So, I have not watched the secret, but I will in the next few days.

[...] Posted on October 11th, 2006 at 2:28pm by Phil Newton I first read about “The Secret” on Erin Pavlina’s blog, and it wasn’t long before I saw it being mentioned on a few other blogs too. There were a lot of positive comments surrounding it, so I decided it was worth taking the time to watch it. It’s quite difficult to sum up the film, but at its simplest level it’s a documentary about how to achieve your goals and desires. [...]

I have seen two versions of the Secret. One features Esther Hicks and the other does not. I’m wondering if you know what happened to Esther? I think the more current version is the one that does not feature Abraham but the theme is very similar to what Abraham would say.
Thanks!
