DVD Reviews of The Secret Things of God
DVD Review: Good but not what I was expecting. Was belittling to "The Secret" at times.
Summary: 2 Stars
I just finished watching this "The Secret Things of God" on DVD and "The Secret" DVD back to back. I am fairly dissapointed in this DVD, "The Secret Things of God" because it really felt like at times it was trying to compete with "The Secret" and at times it felt like some people on the DVD were belittling "The Secret", even Henry Cloud. Even the DVD cover is somewhat similiar to "The Secret's" cover in the lettering. I don't think that it should have tried to compete or put down "The Secret" in any way even if they were trying to add "God" into it from a Biblical scriptural interpretation of thier own. I believe that "God" is more than we can know at this point and to anthropomorphise God is to make God less than what God is.
Henry Cloud suggests that "The Secret" is "supernatural" or "superstitous" which if you know anything about quantum physics then you know this not to be true of "The Secret" principals. You can read about some of Lynne McTaggerts research in "The Field" and "Living the Field" and also read what Fred Alan Wolf Ph.D have to say as well as William Tiller and others.
It looks like lots of people gave the book version 5 stars and that is one of the reasons why I wanted to see this DVD in the first place.I also heard the radio commercial for it and it peaked my interest in it. So I rented the DVD. I really hope that the book is really worth 5 stars. Some of the reasons that I gave this DVD only 2 stars is because, first off, the audience made me feel like they were trying to sell me something like on a cheesy infomercial with some of the audience noding their heads or body jestures or over emoted manerisms and smiles. That is a real turn off for me, maybe not for some, but for me! I think it would have been better off not having audience members on camera doing these reactions that seemed artificial and overdone in some.
Then to make referneces and suggestions to "The Secret" as if everything was all about money and non-important issues only, was deceiving. I found that "The Secret" has some highly usefull meaning for other issues, as well as money, like the case where the woman had breast cancer and made a full recovery without chemotherapy or radiation and the man who survived a plane crash who the DR's said he would always be on a ventilator and never breath on his own or walk.
I am fairly sure that there was no mention about tithing as I recall on this "The Secret Things of God", which I think is important when we want to recieve, we also need to give, whether monitarily or in service to others or the planet. I really think that is a missing link in manifesting what you want in your life. I don't recall "The Secret" mentioning tithing either, so that is something that I would add to both movies. Also "The Secret things of God" needed to pay a lot more attention to gratitude. There was very little of that as I recall in the movie version, maybe in the book version perhaps? I don't know. "The Secret" mentions gratitude quite a bit. I think that "The Secret" gave more principals for me that are usable. When I was overcoming severe illness about 9 years ago, someone from a Church gave me instructions on how to change things in my life and they don't resemble much of what this DVD has to offer, sorry to say. Looking back the principals I was given match more closely to what I would later watch on "The Secret" DVD. I nearly died and was in a desparate place in my life those many years ago. I have seen things manifest for myself and my family that would seem unbelievable but now that I know the principals of manifestating, I realize how things changed for the better and this doesn't leave out God at all. It includes God as my love and devotion for God is strong! I believe this is how God works and using the principals of "The Secret" aligns yourself with how God works.
The power of visualizing is huge and not unimportant as it seems Henry Cloud would suggest. Read about Bruce Jenner and how he won the Olympics! He visualized himself for 4 years with the Gold medal! There are many others like this!
"The Secret" offers many inspirational testimonials and I am really glad to own this on DVD "The Secret" for my home DVD library. I have both editions. There is an extended version of "The Secret" as well.
If you rely on this DVD alone "The Secret Things of God", and missout on "The Secret", you will really miss some of the basic principals of what I think God intends for us all! I am not saying do not watch this DVD, but I am glad that I only rented it and didn't buy it. It felt more like counseling more than providing anything else on this subject, and it really didn't fulfill what I have experienced in what God has helped me manifest. I would recommend the book "Write it Down, Make it Happen" as well. There is so much more out there on this subject and I would look into them as well. Also reading material on Quantum Physics will help fill in some blanks into what seems "supernatural" but really isn't. I hope the book "The Secret Things of God" is better than the DVD with all of the 5 star ratings it received. The DVD doesn't inspire me to read the book though. I wished I could have given this movie a five stars, but I couldn't. I was very excited to find it in my mail box, I thought I was going to want my husband to watch it, but I am now ready to return it already.
I was also put off by Christina Ferari talking about her daughter comparing her to how Linda Blair's head spun around on the movie "The Exorcist", at the mention of God. I wonder if Christina attracted her daughters behavior perhaps by constant worry, as worry is an attractor as well for exactly what you don't want sometimes. Plus if you try to force someone especially children into "Christianity" or some form of "Faith" you usually turn them away from it. That is what happened to my husband as his father is a Minister. Sounds like Christina's daughter is doing very well now and I am glad to hear that.
Overall, only 2 stars for this movie.
