- When I first saw that this movie was coming out, I was interested to see how (and why) they'd play this out. Many of you messaged me to see if I'd watched it, and I hadn't at the time. But now I have. Here are my thoughts on 'The Secret: Dare to Dream.' And it wasn't what I thought it would be.

Why the Law of Attraction is Garbage: • Video
What is the Word of Faith Movement? Interview with Cultish and Steven Bancarz: • What is the Word of Fa...
I almost fell into the doing good things so God can give me good in return and honestly I’m thankful that’s not what the actual faith is based on
Yes exactly. It makes it works based, and not sustainable.
@@MelissaDougherty hey I seen your video on the different Jesus people follow I believe the gospel you talk about the truth I gave my life to Jesus and have felt him in my life I have been having strong feelings of suicide would you maybe consider talking about how Jesus helps us with depression and suicide slot of people tell me " it's the enemy talking to you and deceiving you" but where in the bible does it say that ? I'm so confused and need help can you talk about deliverance
@@_zina9054 I went through what you went through. Those thoughts aren't a good feeling at all. I had went into a deep depression and I could feel these thoughts telling me either Harm myself or my family. I was in a lot of mental pain and Emotional pain myself. I felt like I was being pushed to do evil by an evil spirit. And this is what this is. Demons and Familiar Spirits can Whisper in your ear and try to get you to do extremely bad things. Pharmaceuticals didn't help with what I had felt at all or what I was going through. The only thing that worked was Fervently Praying and Doing battle against these Demons. And it went on for awhile and then the last Prayer, I had felt this Huge massive spiritual weight lift off of me and the peace that followed after.The Lord promised me and told me that what I went through would never happen again and that I had to go through this So that I knew what to do so I could help people like you and what your going through. If this is really going on in your Life, I want to help you but I leave that Choice up to you. I will Pray for You. The Lord hasn't Forgotten about you, Have Hope, You are in His Hands.
@@lionbolt2136 thank you so much I feel strong at times I want to keep fighting hurting myself and doing things I'm not supposed to is an easy fix and i fall sometimes I know God is holding my hand through this and fighting along side with him is not easy it makes me stronger because it's hard to not only fight what I feel but fight what my flesh wants to do.
Same kind of premise that prosperity preachers use.
You're such a blessing to me. As an ex Bethel addict .... I needed my eyes opening. Thank you soooo much. You, Costi, Doreen and RBC have saved me. My soul doth thanketh you all 🙏
@@ThornMaster456 exactly jesus saved you
Yeah it’s Jesus Christ who saves us. He’s the one who leads us into understanding 🙏🏾
@@Ommarrie What about muhammed or yawheh? Aren't judaism and islam older than christianity?
@@JS-ul7kz jesus is the only way to the Father. He is the new covenant, Judaism is the old covenant with God. Muhammed isn't Jesus.
Yahweh is God, Jesus is His son.
I haven't seen this movie, so I can't base any opinion on actually seeing it... But I feel that a lot of the time the "subtle" things can be the most dangerous. Because if you aren't really looking for these things or aware of these things they can work their way into your head and potentially draw you in without being aware of it. And the title itself subtly leads you to the book The Secret.
Good point 👍
Yes a term for that is insidious.. Something that seems harmless, but is very dangerous. It may get worse if they start making more movies like this, progressing slowly into the real deal of Law of Attraction.
Absolutely!!
Exactly. I think it coud even be more dangerous that way
Amd that's not how the real world works. Most movies are more of a fantasy than a reality based movie..
A little leaven lumps the whole lump
Precisely
I have to agree with most comments. It seems very innocent but it's the underlying, subtles tones that are actually the most dangerous.
Absolutely agree with you...A "feel good" movie manipulates emotions and Truth..
Seems like a sneakier way to suck people down the law of attraction path than the first movie and that also seems intentional. That's how it starts, people will start thinking that way and then see all the magical co-incidences in their lives and go find more, 'information,' about the secret. That's why the brand and the logos. A bit like subliminal suggestion.
There's a Disney Channel movie about this kid who's a magician and I've watched it so many times before and never realized what I do now. For example my husband and I were watching it and they talk about "emptying your mind and letting your thoughts come to you and accept them" and we were like 👀 WHAAT. It was just so subtle, but there are so many kids who would actually try that, which is crazy! Thank God for opening my eyes, cause these things are everywhere😕
What movie is it?
@@Gen-ZChristian It’s probably “Now You See It…” I kind of remember that movie having that vibe and it’s about a magician.
Seems like a gateway film to get you to research the other movies in the secret series
That's a great point. Glad you mentioned it.
My thoughts exactly
@@MelissaDougherty it is definitely a gateway film. If you want to normalize something you sprinkle it within a movie. Hollywood has been doing this for years.
It's basic marketing, sprinkle your product in the things that people are watching and they become a normal part of life and something that you need.
Exactly my thoughts when I heard you talking Melissa
@@MelissaDougherty quite off topic, but would you consider doing any videos with urban apologists (e.g. Miss Tytus2, Adam Coleman etc)? You'd probably make a great team!
I watched it two years ago and never once thought it was real. God has this way of dealing in my spirit when something is off or of another spirit. My spirit shuts down and i disconnect!! I watched it but my spirit was not opened to it.
People won’t buy a whole package/idea but changing people’s mind is more impactful when it’s done subtly and in small doses. Makes me think of Hansel and Gretel actually 😄
thank you for taking one for the team! I saw the title and immediately knew that it was that little hook to entice to look into the law of attraction. Awe cute innocent movie with a hallmark lifetime vibe nah we got your number father of lies and deception.
Seems weird to be that Katie Holmes would escape Scientology, only to star in (and thus, at least minimally, ENDORSE) a movie like this.
People who don't know the Lord Jesus Christ and generally think that the Bible is a collection of myths -- these kind of people want to believe in something -- they want to believe in magic. Don't you think that is the movie's intended appeal and why it was made?
New Age like she saíd.
What makes you say these kinds of people want to believe in something? Why do they want to believe in magic? What have you heard that makes you believe that?
Believe in something 🤨wait what
“Be careful,” Jesus warned them. “Watch out for the yeast of the Pharisees and that of Herod.” Mark 8:15
unrelated and i may be late to this but the intro looks so cool! i love it 😂
Thank you! My friend Tim selflessly designed it! He surprised me and sent it to me. It was an incredible blessing because I know that graphic designers work hard on that kind of stuff so to be gifted with something so amazing blew me away. 🙏🙏 Praise God
@@MelissaDougherty what a kind and beautiful gift!! 😃
I agree with others that it sounds like a “gateway” movie. A story about a woman going through devastating circumstances that will appeal to viewers going through their own challenges, and prompt them to look up “The Secret.” Also, the ending with the pony seems like a new age spin on the ending to Miracle on 34th Street, when the little girl gets the house she always wanted. Thanks for your review and insights!
Oh wow yes that's such a great connection!
Didn't it alude that she was getting a little brother too??
Here's the secret....it's all lies!
Thanks for putting valuable contents like this. God bless you sis!
I love how honest your review is❤🙏🏽
One thing, I have found, secular movie writers do very well is package tiny bits of worldly philosophy in feel good movies. They grease the slippery slope, and no one's the wiser.
Thank you for helping us discern Melissa!
After the pizza thing ...I would have thrown him out!!!
Yikes!! sorry NOT SORRY 😐
So many movies today have Gnostic undertones.."the Matrix", and all superhero movies are based on Gnostic theory.
Click bait, oversimplistic and not spiritual were the 3 words that jumped out at me from your review. I agree with you this movie was click bait to reel in people with this oversimplistic philosophy that is very SPIRITUAL. The idea is to draw people in, not to overload them with this demonic idea but make them curious and see how wonderful it is. This is how the devil plants ideas in our heads. If he was in our face, we would easily recognize him and avoid him. But subtlety is key! You can find these demonic ideas in every movie. 😲
Oh my that is so true!
It's always sprinkled subtlety in many movies!!
The whole five to get is sneaky. I have to rebuke those thoughts when they come. I give because God already gave to me...I am blessed because of God’s love and Gods love flows freely out of me. I bless others because God wants them to be blessed. I do think he smiles when I give to others and that makes me smile. I can almost feel his smile and joy which fills me with joy. I hope that’s not wrong.
Thank you, Melissa. I have learned of the law of attraction from you...and I do so appreciate that! I am a believer, and I study the Word, but I was deceived by some of these things! It absolutely petrified me. I never got into New Age, but I did buy the book Power of Positive Thinking and was very taken with it. I was in sales, and we were bombarded by these things. I had no idea about this title and that it was tied to these things, but it really creeped me out. I could see it all, and it made me think that the devil got his foot in through the beauty of the love in the story. It seems to be prepping the viewer for more to follow...
Thanks for your ministry, Melissa. You have taught me so much. LOA is dangerous. It is very deceptive! Very concerning!!
Is the book “the power of positive thinking” demonic?
I dont watch TV or Movies I think they give us ideas that arent with the our heavenly father thats my opinion
I have found some good movies through Godtube.
Exactly. And why is it It's only attractive people that play a role? Isn't Christianity supposed to show there are different people everybody is different? Don't get me started on the Jesus image because that image of Jesus is not what John prescribed in the book of Revelation how Jesus looks. The reason why they came up with that image of Jesus is to attract people to Christianity there is your law of attraction again.
Been seeing “subtle” stuff like this in other movies, too...
It is a false bubble, for sure. It was hard when mine was first popped. Did you struggle like that when leaving LOA also?
Thanks for watching this. I’m big on guarding my heart, mind, and spirit and I was honestly thinking along the lines you were and I wasn’t trying to take in anything toxic. This isn’t anything I’d be interested in at all anyway, but I was curious lol. I LOVE watching your vids!
The best way to sell a lie is to sugar coat it with some truth.
2 things that I have noticed is how many Christians,
1. Refer to karma without them really understanding what it means.
2. Being eager to practice mindfulness because they believe it's similar to focusing on Christ. In which case why not just focus on Christ
And 3) yoga and also saying 4) “so and so got their angel wings today”.
Unattractive people are not going to attract people to principalities and darkness.
I watched this with my mom and.. Idk, there were a few things that were questionable, especially the Law of Attraction quotes.
Yes, absolutely.
I think the film is part of a funnel. When you watch it, it’s pretty harmless then you go on to get the books. It is also possible that sequences are planned that would have a more spiritual message attached.
These pervasive droplets of ideas are probably the biggest players in the ideas pulling people away from genuine worship of the one true God. Over time some don't even realize that they worship some other idea..others have a light bulb moment and begin to dig deeper and end up decidedly all in whichever movement has caught their attention.
Islam says they have the one true god. Why is that wrong?
I watched it with caution but I did enjoy it.
This is a little late... But I just went back and watch this movie recently. Then, decided to watch this video again. I think the movie itself has a very good "spiritual" message. If you come from a Christian mindset and have never read The Secret, what you get is a message of "trust in God", "trust that there is a plan" even when things seem dark, and helping others with no thought of "good karma" or a quid pro quo with God. I even like that Bray is on the look out for what I see as subtle "Holy Spirit nudges". As for the whole magnet metaphor... Having been a "glass is half empty" thinker, I can tell you looking at the "glass is half full" does lead to better responses from me which does influence the world in a positive way. Just not necessarily in some mystical magical force way. (And what is "toxic positivity"?)
amazing the review!!!
Thanks Melissa for taking ur time doing this! All the " positivity " stuff is very subtly toxic and ur breakdown was cool!
And also keep the videos with Jasmine coming! I can hardly wait!!!!! God bless.
Its funny how those who are successful with the law of attraction are successful due to writing and selling books and videos about the law of attraction. Its very circular and feeds of those who are lost and looking for something to believe in.
*Great* point. I'd have to say the same about Prosperity preachers. I'm glad you mentioned this.
I wonder if this movie is just using "The Secret" as a draw? *You just said it! Hollywood clickbait! I knew nothing about it. Thanks for sharing your ideas. I need to go check out your other videos on LOA.
Right?! I was expecting some deep spiritual movie! 😆
@@MelissaDougherty what if the name was different? Would you have come to it without expecting LOA 101?Seems like your run of the mill romantic drama.
That's why I don't buy into Christian movies. They teach you everybody that is a Christian is married with a family completely false.
Hi Melissa:
Very well said, as always. May God continue to richly bless you, your family, and your ministry.
I didn't realize positive thinking and "The Law of Attraction 101" pertained to pizza and ponies. Oh well, welcome to Hollywood's predictably infantile attempt at making spirituality palatable for the masses.
And speaking of New Agers...
In reading my Bible the other day, the following verse (courtesy of St. Paul) literally jumped out at me:
"While people are saying, 'Peace and safety,' destruction will come on them suddenly, as labor pains on a pregnant woman, and they will not escape." (1 Thessalonians 5:3; NIV).
In other words, even "feel good" romantic dramas cannot protect those who do not believe in salvation by grace.
Indeed, "Come, Lord Jesus, come quickly."
Hey Mellisa, thank u for ur critique on this movie. I rem when der was such a boom abt 'The Secret'...Everyone was into here in my home town..& I kept being tild da same thing dat am a jinx to myself I shud just change my thinkn & EVERYTHING will flow!! Money, relationship,job etc etc am glad got out of that cycle. I think trusting in Jesus is the best way to live. Hallelujah..lots of ♥ Nairobi,Kenya
Hi Melissa! Thanks for this review! On the topics of movie reviews-I wanted to do a review for the movie Onward when it came out on Disney+, but I don’t talk well in front of a camera! Have you seen that movie? I think someone could do a review on some of the Disney movies that teach children about spiritual things, but in light of what scripture warns about those things, too. There are so many movies that we’ve let our children watch , but we’ve not taken the time to walk through what scripture says in regard to what’s being shown. Anyway, thanks for all your work in Christ!
Also by disney Frozen. So many kids loved that cartoon. First Frozen lured them in then Frozen 2 was made. Yikes! Same with Trolls cartoon. If I had kids I don't think I would of wanted them to see the first one, but Trolls 2 trailer looked terrible.
Sounds like an angel if light to me.
The fact is that such men are pseudo-emissaries: they tell lies about their work and masquerade as emissaries of the Messiah. There is nothing surprising in that, for the Adversary himself masquerades as an angel of light; so it’s no great thing if his workers masquerade as servants of righteousness. They will meet the end their deeds deserve.
2 Corinthians (2 Co) 11:13-15 CJB
May God richly bless you Melissa, Have you watched Zeitgeist "moving forward" and the others?
I had all of the Abraham Hicks books 🤦🏼♀️ Praise the Lord my eyes were opened to that deception
keep ur faith
Dear Mel, my friend, your law of attraction is right there in the title - the dream is just shorthand for visualizing. Therefore, no surprise, it's promoting visualization; or your law of attraction! Voila - I'd love to have a Mercedes Benz Roadster, ferinstance, (justincase I'm on your Christmas list!), the more details I can add the better! I rec'd my education in a networking business cult, where I'd invested several years' work. I even sponsored several peeps!! :P
Is it possible to do an in depth break down on Bethel redding. I have friends deeply involved who FREAK OUT when I say be careful
Hi! I've actually done quite a few videos that pertain to Bethel. I did an in depth video on Bill Johnson's book 'When Heaven Invades Earth', a long video on bethels book 'Physics of Heaven' and also did an interview with Doreen on Cultish about bethel as well.
Same
@@MelissaDougherty Watched all. I think maybe a straightforward video with just the false statements plainly in comparison to scripture to show the corrupting of the gospel would be perfect and effective even if it's 2min long. You're excellent with the notes. Would be great to visually see that via video.
@@MelissaDougherty ty Melissa!! ;)
Thank you Melissa, for taking one for the team!! Won't watch Hollywood at all just out of principal..
I watched this movie with my family, and didn't see the title beforehand; they just started watching it. In that pizza scene or in other scenes where the guy was clearly saying things that were in line with the law of attraction or word of faith, I commented to my family that this is a new age movie.
I was just surprised that we were even watching it.
My feelings at the end were what a lot of people have commented, that this is a type of gateway movie. Though my parents are strong Christians, and they are in the Word daily, they wouldn't have recognized the law of attraction and new age doctrines interspersed throughout the film right away. It's a feel good film that glorifies, and almost deifies, positive thinking, but since it's good to be positive, most people wouldn't give that idea a second thought.
For me, I went to a church that preached this doctrine in a subtle way, and I would have believed that doctrine completely if not for being in the word and being warned through apologists like you on CZcams. Subtlety really is the weapon of the evil one, but the clear and concise truth of God's Word is the shield against him... That's why I am so encouraged by you and others like you on CZcams who bring deceptions to the light through pointing out what God actually says in His Word. Messages like that are what the Church needs to hear and proclaim every day.
They will make more. The title shows that. For example, The Secret: Dare to Live (or something like that). They will be able to add more and more of this concept into each movie. I agree with the other poster, it’s a gateway film. Thank you for the review! I watched this and was immediately aware of the new age concepts although I’ve never been an “intentional” new-ager.
Can you please do a video on Theosophy, its goal of a universal religion, and it’s relation to the United Nations? From my own scant research, I was even able to connect a current Bethel pastor to him speaking at a Theosophical Society talk many years ago. This runs into the new age philosophy that is within the Christian churches now.
I had to watch the movie first before seeing your review. I can see how it could be dangerous for untrained minds, but I thought it was just a cute romantic movie. I put the rest of it aside. I think it's no different than watching movies with the "spirit" of Christmas or where Santa claus grants a wish. Usually if I'm watching something like this with my kids, I would point out the fallacies or the sneaky way "they" are trying to program us away from God. The funny thing is I didn't realize I do this until my daughter did the same about a month ago and said, "moma, that's something you would say". Anyway, I had a few eye rolls through this movie but found their secret message so subtle that it didn't ruin the movie for me.
I would agree. I actually watched this movie not knowing anything about the Secret and before I saw this review. I just thought it was a nice romantic drama with some "silliness" but nothing to get me to turn it off. I thought the Mother In Law was brilliant but wrong in forcing her into a relationship with Mr Moneybags. I also thought the (angry) reaction when Katie Holmes found out that he was being subversive about why he was there was realistic and not really over the top. Maybe thats me. There is usually - it seems - an undertone to most if not all movies you see as they are made in the image of the creator wherever that person is coming from, we have to focus on God and if it is offensive to us then either don't watch it or if you start it - turn it off or walk out.
I watched it with my mom and sister one night I while back when I thought it was biblically sound (my mom explained it as another term for faith) but I still had many doubts and it didn’t seem all that right. I am glad that I don’t believe it anymore, but my mom and sister still do (along with other new age ideas). I feel really alone with no one to confide in (my dad now believes divorce is okay and is divorcing my mom). Now that I see the issues of LOA I can see the issues of the movie, too.
i was watching beauty and the beast, live action version last night and saw subtle things too. the enemy really uses subtle things to deceive people through movies especially when were not looking for it
Thank you good know now God bless
Hey Melissa just a quick question, have read or watched the documentary of this movie, if have can please talk about it , I want to share with my husband who kinda love the secret
Sounds like the entire movie was an overview or living example of how the LOA works in extreme situations. #butitdont lol
Thank you for all you do, Melissa! I truly love your videos & have learned so much. I am also thourghouly enjoying your "Train it Up Series" and would love more content on how you raise your child & discipline, according to the Bible (I have a 4 year old and would love parenting tips from a Christian perspective) Lastly, this might sound strange but I love your voice & the way you talk! I'm not sure if you have a podcast, but if not, I hope that it is something you feel led to do in the future! I can listen to your voice all day! Lol. Love you, sister! 🥰🙏
The feel of it reminds me of some of the more cringey-feeling Christian movies where the team happens to win or something like that at the end. Whether it's the sports-themed movies or the more romantic seeming ones, it reminds me of those unrealistic Christian movies. I admit that I don't like most Christian movies.
Thanks for this movie review! I had heard of this and still had no interest in watching it. I'm not really attracted to watching movies anymore, but, I enjoy hearing critical analysis and spoilers too. Oh, well, I did watch The Chosen series earlierthis year. I'd really like to hear critical analysis of it! Well, it's really not new agey so maybe it's out of your sphere of influence.
Have you seen The Chosen? I’m been so curious, but don’t know if it’s worth it because if it’s accuracy or the lack there of.
A better question is how did Brea attract her?🤯
Haven't seen it other than previews myself, but I agree with you about how the all positive approach can be toxic and insensitive. As someone who struggles with "invisible" issues in my family/kids/self like anxiety, OCD, ADHD, ASD, depression, etc. people who say to just change the way you think are very annoying. Training one's brain to choose one's thoughts (biblical) is a different idea than just "toss out the negative" (think positive) because a lot of life is in reality the result of a fallen world. Love your content--keep it up Melissa.
Jack, you took the words right out of my mouth. Melissa, you've been on both sides of the law of attraction. At one point in your life it was the go to philosophy, but then you met Jesus and all that changed. This movie wasn't created to be an overtly law of attraction movie, but it was to have enough in there that people who were seeking some truth to live by and didn't know Jesus, they would be drawn to this, and being drawn to it, become enslaved by it. Doesn't this remind you of another similar movie, Miracle on 34th Street, where a replacement Santa, who just happens to have the name Kris Kringle, has this same giving attitude. He and a bachelor work on a single mom and her daughter. Both are hard nuts to crack, but the daughter holds out for the house she asked Santa for (I mean Kris) and when does she get that house? At the end of the movie when the bachelor and the single mom are taking a different route through the suburbs and see a house for sale. The girl tels them to stop. They figure theire's no harm in looking at the house. They go in, find Kris' cane, hear the girl's squealing about it being just the house she asked for. It's then these two adults decide to get married and give the girl the house. It's almost an exact duplicate of The Secret: Dare to Dream, well updated and you have a stranger who isn't Santa, but you get the drift. Now people all over watch Miracl on 34th Street because it's a great Christmas romance movie. But what are they buying into in the process?
Your assessment of this movie is absolutely correct.
Melissa, I learned about the laws of attraction years ago, but being a Christian for over 4 decades, I refused to except this learning because I was already grounded in God’s word, yet we are created in the image of the Most High God, therefore we have His character but we are not gods...
Thank you for going over the movie for us.
I just tore up my the secret book and the first video. I was so excited to get this when I was in NW Marketing. I'm so glad you are showing us how wrong we are by believing I this stuff. I had no idea it was wrong. I wasn't in the word enough to understand how wrong it is.
When into this stuff I thought I was a failure because this stuff wasn't working for me. I wasn't making any money at this job. Now I'm out of NWM and I'm trying to get this stuff out of my mind.
So you're saying the movie was a flop? I just watched the trailer with the pizza clip. I agree it looked pretty cheesy ;)
Alright now. I’ll give you a like but don’t come ‘round here ageyin! Lol
@@loremaster234'Loremaster?' You are pathetic.
I'll just stick with the Word!
Hahahah that’s a full grown horse not a pony
Her drawing was unclear
All Hollywood needs to do is just that... Law of Attraction pre 101... introduce it in an everyday lifestyle situations and use being positive & romance to glorify the Law of Attraction. Just sprinkle it in for people to be attracted to this spiritual belief.
From how you describe the movie, which I have not seen; it seems like this is the “putting a frog in a pot of water that starts off with low heat before increasing the heat before the frog boiled to death without realizing it?
I would love to see a video by someone about video games and how they are spiritually plaguing teenagers today, with many of them involving magic and yet parents don't think anything of it
I stopped watching your video then went and watched the film and came back. Although it feels very subtle that is the danger as I feel it was more in your face people would have been turned off by it. This is just a law of attraction about how to get a relationship but done again very subtle way if you notice every thing is by chance she starts thinking differently and her life changes when her thoughts change. The secret was what he had in the envelope as didn’t have that seal with an s on it. And how the check was the exactly the same amount as her debt
Kevin Rider - They're taking lessons from the Christian films, like the Love Comes Softly series. Give people a good feel good story they can recommend to someone else that doesn't seem too weird propagandaish, but sprinkled with a message and connected with the symbol of the Secret which will bring up all it's connected internet cookies and who knows possibly a sequel that delves in even deeper. May be that free movie they play at movie night at the libraries. I wouldn't recommend it or speak of it in a way that may stir a desire in someone to watch it, like it, and recommend it. Too many people when talking about movies they like may mention it and possibly someone may be drawn into it's teaching. The only thing the rabbit sees before it goes into the trap is the carrot. The same happens in churches and with music , it's all in the draw and the subtleties.
Hi Melissa, I gave you a 👍 for your video. Can you make a video about the difference of "Seed time harvest", "What a man sows he shall reap" and law of attraction kind Roger from Australia.
Saw The Secret (motivational talks ... a dvd) many years ago... at least 11 years ago if I'm not mistaken and yes... red flags... the law of attraction. So subtle... the lies of the enemy. I think just that one scene although just one and so short, can be detrimental, especially to children, because it is done in an effective enough way.
Off topic but what are your favorite Bible versions?
Whenever I think about anything titled "The Secret" I think of that nutty book by Ohpra Winphrey
Your right about the hollywood clickbait it is that and it's most likely licensing. The film studio/ production company probably had a licensing agreement for the I.P. and per agreement they had so much time to produce the film before the license laps. So they quickly push the movie attached a director, script actors etc...the script could have been a recycled script adjusted for the secret theme/ I.P.
Reminds me of the movie Phenomenon with JT. It’s goal is to subtlety lure you into an ideology. It’s a “gateway.”
That's the way the devil works, just a subtle suggests over and over again to get us to embrace something that we won't accept if it was in our face.
Melissa! You’re missing it....
But you helped me see it in this description. I haven’t seen the movie but think about it:
What does everyone want? A happily ever after.... it’s sprinkled because it’s suggesting this is WHY the happily ever after happened. Usually when you have a Romantic Drama, there is no “solution” posed to the watcher on how to GET those things.... it’s usually just like a doe eyed sigh and dreaming mentality at the end of this kind of movie.... but it’s toxic. Think about it: it’s not ignoring the law of attraction... it’s showing it at work. Bray is a “Jesus character”... he’s the savior in it. He has the secret to all of their problems. It’s not sprinkled... it’s woven!! I would assume (since I haven’t seen the movie) that throughout the movie as he’s trying to give her something positive.... the solution to ALL her problems... she is too focused on her “negative thinking” the whole time... so the envelope blows away or it’s not the right time... or whatever....but as her and her kids learn to “think positively” things start to go the right way. AND it’s targeting the children!!!! Any kid who starts to believe when they are younger that you can do something expecting... it’ll happen. I think back to the move with Whoopi Goldberg (don’t remember the name of it) where she blew at the traffic lights and they turned green. I thought for most of my childhood that I could do that... or walk through walls or move things wirh my mind and that I just wasn’t trying hard enough. This movie is a subtle introduction to the secret. I would assume especially on CZcams that people will start seeing ads on the secret and get introduced. This is the most subtle and effective intro to it. It plays with the emotions. It’s more of a romantic drama bc it has to be about all the “feel goods” and what you can GET. And then it plays it out through the whole thing. Like the “vision board” essentially when the little girl draws her pony over and over and always wanted it... a desire of her heart that hasn’t left. Now there’s a way to get it. They know about their critics... they wouldn’t be so blatant now.
The Katie Holmes character never uses The Secret the entire time, she gets everything she wants just because that guy comes into her life. Also she’s engaged to the chubby kid from stand by me but he can’t help her pay for a root canal??
I’ve been trying to manifest a Lamborghini for years, and it’s not working out. Anyway, if it takes that long it’s not worth it. I would have to manifest the money for the insurance and the maintenance as well and I don’t have time for that, I have to watch Netflix.
You give to give - boom!

love your videos. ummm, about the "secret", it isnt just about attracting material blessings in this world (i.e. the universe is my personal catalog) , some use it (in an overtly demonic manner) to attempt to malevolently torment others.... btw Katie Holmes is from my hometown and we're the same age.. she went to the all girls school me the all guys.... she has fallen from the A list IMO
Good job
I wonder if the authors licensed the brand to pull in LOA adherents and maybe some new ones.
The movie had potential for being a really good story, but there were some pretty weird parts. Lol! They definitely were VERY deliberate with the dialogue lines mentioning the laws of attraction/power of thoughts, that it seemed out of place and awkward during those scenes.
This is a movie to condition the audience, as so many movies are. Almost undetectable so works on those who won't recognize the evil intent. Most movies are made to do this....undermine morals, ingrain errors, etc.
I use to study gurus like Bob Proctor and law of attraction, theosophy stuff like “The Science of Getting Rich” by Wallace Wattles (former FreeMason).
I have to say… they can make self improvement mystical and wax poetically… but they say things that seem profound that truly aren’t.
They championed the idea that they meld “science and religion together” which makes the whole field attractive to truth seekers.
Bob proctors formula was a little different, he taught: change your paradigm, through changing thoughts you change beliefs, which change action, thus creating you as a new person.. therefore it *seems* as though the things you wanted begin to materialize in your life, but that’s because you changed yourself.
Visualization, yea useful too, sports athletes do it often, but if they didn’t do the other 30 fundamentals *action oriented* things that make them great, it would do nothing.
The secret/law of attraction/paradigm shifting is a small piece of a goal setting pie, they just sprinkle mystical new age language around it.
I have a question? Whose idea was it to create Christian movies? How is being a movie actor different than playing Santa Claus once a year? Or playing in a Christmas play? I often times wondered about that? How is playing Santa Claus once a year a bad thing but yet it's okay to be a movie actor or playing a role in a Christmas play?
I agree that "you give to give," without thought of reward. Please note, however, that Jesus said:
"Judge not, and you will not be judged; condemn not, and you will not be condemned; forgive, and you will be forgiven; 38 give, and it will be given to you. Good measure, pressed down, shaken together, running over, will be put into your lap. For with the measure you use it will be measured back to you.” Luke 6:37-38 [ESV]
22:05 Love Stories, don't make sense, unless they're about Gd, think King David, whole book was about poems to Gd.
Sounds like the exact storyline of about a thousand of those Hallmark movies my wife watches.
Hi sorry this question has nothing to do with this video but I had no where to turn to. I wanted to know if you know anything about smelling thing when they are not there. I friend told me this is the gifts of the Holy Spirit, but I can’t find it any where. I don’t want any false teaching over me. Please help because if they are not I don’t won’t that belief in me. Thank you
Where are you at school?
I am looking for an online seminary to transfer to. I am a second year Biblical Studies major.
14:11 Maybe in the world to come, you or daughter and/or sons will have to make the new movies?
