Revelation! The Secret Message
Embedded in the movie,
The Secret, is Finally Revealed!
©2008 David Boyne
A lot of attention has been paid to the DVD-internet movie phenomenon, The Secret. The folks who made this movie, following in the footsteps of folks like Wallace Delois Wattles, and Dr. Robert Anthony, and lots of other folks who write books, who record audio books, and who speak lectures, all insist that if we accept everything about the present moment, no matter what, and choose to feel good right now, we’ll get everything we want.
Of course, many, many other folks who write books, who record audio books, and who talk on television, say, “What bullshit!”
These other folks say the practice of accepting what is and choosing to feel good now is simple-minded pie-in-the-sky wishful-thinking self-indulgent cock-eyed optimism, and socially irresponsible, and did I mention, bullshit.
I could be wrong, but when I take this idea of accepting what is and choosing to feel good now, and follow it to its logical conclusion, i.e., my death, and I imagine myself in the last moments of this once-in-a-lifetime Life, looking back and realizing that I did not in fact get everything I wanted, including that two-week, day-and-night stay in the Plaza Hotel suite with Marisa Tomei, I wonder.
Will I be overwhelmed with remorse and cry out, “I wish I had spent more time feeling bad!”
