I ran across a review of The Secret on the Masonic Traveler blog and I thought it was interesting. Here it is below. My wife TiVo's Oprah, and on occasion I watch it with her at night when we get home from work. It just so happened that on February 8th, she had a panel of speakers who were there to do their best to plug the profundity of "The Secret", a new on-line film/DVD that proclaims to reveal centuries hidden knowledge in the span of a 90 minute motivational speech. After watching the original episode of Oprah on the 8th and her follow-up on the 17th (where the "O" did some fancy dancing to the "no this isn’t an anti Christian message" song), I had to admit that I felt compelled to see exactly what the secret was really about. And after watching it tonight, I'll be damned, the message it presents is pretty spot on. I wasn't really sure what to expect. Probably some new age hocus-pocus or some motivational speakers saying you have the power to do what you want (which is was in many ways), but this video took it step further. It said something I have been saying (and doing) for a while now though my own sort of personal discovery of all things Masonic. The message was that we (people) are a part of the God conscious universe, and that our energy resonates with the rest of the universe, and that this energy, when harmonized, has the potential of ANYTHING, good or bad. This harmonic energy is what we put out into the universe also attracts back to us, depending on what we think, feel, desire, wish, or pray for. And our attitudes contribute to what we get in return. From the Masonic perspective, the degrees of masonry illustrate our ascension into this thought. That, as we are initiated into this ideation and taught how to interpret from what we learn our ultimate step, the placement at the doorway of God, the inner chamber of K.S.T. Our thoughts attenuated to this celestial divine, not without as some external force, but within, as our own manifestation of that Creative Force. We, widow’s sons, are the creators of our universe. The philosophy in "The Secret" should be simple to understand by any Freemason who watches it. Even simpler now that it has been broken down to its barest components, which are: "Know Thy Self", and "Follow Your Bliss". With these two axioms, you can control your universe. For those wondering though, where the producers came up with this Secret Teaching, they give you glimpses at the beginning alluding to their origins, The Knights Templar, Rosicrucian's, The Romans, the Egyptians, and so one…But there may be some true point of origin here. Out of Hermetica, there comes a myth, the myth of the Emerald Tablet of Hermes Trismegistus. On this tablet were written 13 points of wisdom and these points create the foundation of transformative thought. The 13 points of the tablet are:
The one thing I don’t agree with necessarily is that "The secret", as "the Secret" calls itself, is still only wisdom for those who care to know about it. The owners of "the secret" didn’t hide it. It has been alive and vital in the mystery schools of antiquity for eons, all anyone has to do to gain the secret is just ask... Maybe, as in ages past, this is the new mode of transference. This is how the secret teachings of the ages are to be communicated to the masses, to merge with our subconscious and manifest into our daily life, so it is never forgotten again. Either way, I do recommend giving "the Secret" a watching if you have the time, I found it a great reinforcement of my Masonic principals and ideas. http://masonictraveler.blogspot.com/2007/02/oprah-and-secret-of-secret.html
