'The Secret' - is it dangerous?

It's obvious, The Secret book has gotten so many people talking that you can't turn around before someone begins a monologue about it.

The Secret book IS selling at a rate of 150,000 copies per week. It is not just a movie, it is a huge trend! Listen, I spent the first decade of my life immersed in the midst of all those secret mystery guys who started the change the world movement, guys like Guru Ram Dass, Native American Elders and all the psychedelic hippie guys like Timothy Leary. This was the early public face of the whole self-mastery movement. And let me just say this for the record, there was more than just a little bit of an ugly side to it all. But that's a subject for a different article.

I won't exactly say that the motivating force behind the desire for mind control is personal power, but well, it is power over others.

And then as a young adult I was driven to understand why this stuff worked and I learned what they were about, I studied and belonged to some of those 'secret societies. Today I own "The Complete Teachings of The Golden Dawn" and if you have any knowledge of these things you will understand that it will contain pretty much all the secrets of all the secret societies that ever were. The exception here would be the teachings of Alestair Crowley who is waaaay too creepy for any reasonable person to want to learn about. But this is just my point. Megalomania, creepy. This is what you find when you dig deep into the vaults of those who seek to take control of the internal realm.

Here's the truth, The REAL SECRET: the inner consciousness can definitely be manipulated. If you want to really learn how, then study some of the great salesmen of time. They know how to manipulate your inner mind - that's why they make so much money.

The secrets of inner power are very real, they really work - but not in the way people have been led to believe in 'The Secret'. They work in real time, they work in the way we humans understand the world - this is why a salesman can manipulate others with them. Whole cults have been started by the manipulation of these secrets of inner power. Don't get me started on that track. Hierarchy is a device of those creepy megalomaniacs. Jesus would never have stood for it, he was a very non-hierarchy kind of guy.

We can't get away from it, this manipulation of consciousness, our whole society is bound up in it. We even see it in the symbols used by McDonalds - those golden arches, which I nicknamed the tefflon tits. No real nourishment there, but that's what we go there thinking we'll get. Even the symbolism of big corporations, like Wal-Mart, is designed to trigger specific reactions in our minds. Believe me, these people DO understand what they are doing. But no, they won't be handing out the whole instruction manual in a book like 'The Secret'. Frankly even if anyone was inclined to share the true symbolism with humanity, it's just too complicated to put on the 5th grade reading level.

So, yes there are SECRETS TO THE UNIVERSE, but you won't be grasping them in a 90 minute movie. They can't be explained in a few short sentences. And all those famous people who seem to have known 'The Secret' knew WAY MORE than this movement alludes to.

The real secret is that Byrne, who wrote the secret either really does know some of this esoteric secrets of inner power stuff (that's why she's sold so many books) OR she is a darling of someone who does. Either way, they've sold the books and movies to you! Isn't it time you understood how your own secrets of inner power are working to make you think that solving all of life's problems is as simple as thinking positive?

Isn't it time to actually break free of the manipulation that is thrown upon us?

And, by the way, if you DO try and use The Secret without a full understanding of it, don't be surprised if it backfires on you. That's what happens when you tell your unconscious something that is out of alignment with your inner being. But how do you know what IS in alignment with your inner being? Well, that's what I teach.
