...THE SECRET by Rhonda Byrne - Reaction Paper The Secret is a book written by Rhonda Byrne, which is known as the best-selling book in 2006. I was amazed when I entered the classroom and found out that we’ll be viewing/watching the DVD about The Secret. I have heard about this documentary since I was in 3rd year college and by this time I finally got the chance to watch a masterpiece. I wanted to watch this since but I never had the chance to because I got so busy with school activities but right now I think I am lucky that I am a part who knows The Secret and I am thankful to know it. To begin with, The Secret is a life changing, it makes you financially independent, it let your mind powerful and lastly, it will make you successful. The Secret is kept hidden from thousands of people and they let their ignorance spread to people; it was buried, coveted, suppressed and it was never revealed to the public. According to Bob Proctor, a philosopher, the secret gives you anything you want; happiness, health, and wealth. He also said that “we become what we think”, which means whatever we think it predict our future. The law of Attraction is The Secret; what we see, hold, or even our thoughts are equivalent to what we need, want or even demand and it attracts to you. Like what I watched and jotted down, an optimistic thought is a thousand’s more powerful than pessimistic thought. The more you think, the more it will happen because the universe is reacting to what you want; which...

...The "Subconscious Secret" is how the Secret really works! By Scott Sulak, BCH, CHT If you have seen the movie and were moved to change, but found no success, perhaps you are fighting your subconscious mind. Perhaps it is time to let your "other mind," your subconscious mind, in on the secret. I was impressed at how quickly “The Secret” took off in the recent past. Mostly everyone I talked to had an opportunity to see the movie and instantly feel a sense of hope that if they could just change the way the see things, “things” would be different in their life. The movie depicts the secret as something simple and something ancient which is not tied to any particular sect or stratification and is available to everyone. While I agree that it is simple and IS available to everyone theoretically, it seems like just watching the movie and from then on experiencing abundance and joy every moment from then on is something...well, something you might see in a movie. What is missing? There is more to change then simply realizing that you have become a magnet for what you don’t want. To simply say “stop thinking this way and start thinking that way” for most of us it a tall order. The reason it is a tall order is that we have taught ourselves how life is in some relative way and changing reality is not something we do very often. It is not as though we don’t “want” to change, but let’s face it, if we don’t believe it will happen or we don’t deserve it will, then “wanting” is not enough. So...

...Fifty-two seconds into the video, Chris Anderson reveals the “secret” to what makes TED Talks great speeches. The “secret” isn’t really a secret; it’s how the speaker of the speech has a number one task, to transfer an idea into the audience's’ head. Essentially what this means is as long as the speaker has the intent to help the audience understand how they individually interpret a topic, such as say oranges, and then puts hard work behind that intent, the speech will be great. No one person has the same view, and the purpose of public speaking is to get numerous minds to think, or at least acknowledge, the same idea. If an idea is communicated to an audience effectively enough it could also influence the audience’s future actions. Anderson...

...T he concept of the ‘secret teachings of Jesus’ supposedly generates apprehension for various Christians; for a number of folks think the possibility is generally all folly and ‘made-up,’ and feel this terminology provokes negativity. So I felt the following information was a notable case in point; which relates the likelihood of such teachings; furthermore, why the majority of Jesus’ mystical teachings ‘could not’ exist openly. Powerfully, this letter provided gives a window to peer through to understand the time, and apparent problems the early Christians had with some misinterpretations of early text and the apparent fear and cover-up that took place. In 1958, Professor Morton Smith claims to have found a secret gospel of Mark that gives us another example of a ‘sexual tone’ concerning Jesus. It is the subject of the Mar Saba letter, a previously unknown fragment of a second-century document, and claims to be written by Clement of Alexandria. Credibly, Clement endured as one of the earliest and most mysterious of the Fathers of the Church, a...

The dreamer is expected to have a dream over which he or she has complete control. For instance, Lucid Dreaming allows the dreamer to do anything they want. Whether they want to fly, throw fire, or have sex with a stranger, the dreamers mind can create it and act it out as if it were real life ("The Definition of Lucid Dream."). Lucid dreaming can also include interesting conditions such as mutual dreaming. Mutual dreaming is an exercise of the mind at rest that is a branch of lucid dreaming. Mutual dreaming occurs when two dreamers meet up and plan it out in the real world. They agree on a place to meet while in the dream and plan a time to do it. If they are able to...

...The Secret by Rhonda Byrne; Summary and Response There is a secret that only a few people know of ever since thousands of years. Many powerful leaders knew of it, but they preferred to keep it and not share it. The Secret Revealed: The great secret of life is the "The Law of Attraction". This postulates that similar things are attracted, so when you have a thought, this thought attracts to you similar thoughts. The Secret Made Simple: The law of attraction is a natural law, as it is the law of gravity. As such it is impartial. How to Use the Secret: Ask for, believe, and receive. The Secret to Money: To attract money, focus on wealth. It is impossible to attract money if you are constantly thinking about the "lack of money”. The Secret to Relationships: When you want to attract a relationship, make sure your thoughts, actions, and surroundings are not in conflict with those desires. The Secret of Health: Healing through the mind works harmoniously with medical science. The Secret to the World: That, to which you resist, attracts you. This is because you are strongly focused on it. The Secret to You: Everything is energy. You are an energy magnet, so you can energize everything to you, and electrically energize yourself to attract what you want. The Secret to Life: You are responsible to fill the blackboard of your life with whatever you want. All you need to do is "to feel good now". Response The Secret, by Rhonda Byrne is the most interesting book I have ever read...

Dream and unconscious Dom Cobb is a skilled thief, the absolute best in the dangerous art of extraction, stealing valuable secrets from deep within the subconscious during the dream state, when the mind is at its most vulnerable.

After that Cobb is being offered a chance at redemption. One last job could give him his life back but only if he can accomplish the impossible-inception.

In this movie, we can find one of techniques in psychoanalysis, which is dream analysis. According to theory, dream direct avenue to the unconscious.
