Hello everyone! :-)
I have been getting emails - via MySpace & 360 - from people who ask me what all this "SECRET" stuff is all about. Apparently, some folks are having a challenge trying to understand the message here.
So, in efforts to hopefully create a more clear understanding of what this movie is about.......I thought I'd start out by telling the story behind THE SECRET.
Enjoy!
Making The Secret - A Brief History
One
spring day towards the end of 2004, Rhonda Byrne discovered a secret -
the secret laws and principles of the universe. Almost immediately her
life was transformed, as she began to put into practice what she had
learned. It seemed to Rhonda that almost no-one knew the things that
she had discovered, even though the concepts could be found in almost
every religion and field of human endeavour throughout history. And in
that moment her greatest wish, and mission, was to share this knowledge
with the world.
Rhonda began to see that her entire life - everything she
had ever done - had been quietly and steadily moving her towards the
most perfect place for her to be able to fulfil her wish. And to fulfil
it on the grandest possible scale! She had gone from working as a
producer at the Nine Network in Melbourne, Australia, to starting her
own television production company, Prime Time Productions, in 1994. And
after ten years of creating internationally successful shows such as
'The World's Greatest Commercials', 'Great Escapes', 'Marry Me', and
'Sensing Murder', Rhonda was ready for something new. She wanted to
take Prime Time Productions in a different direction; in a direction
that fulfilled people rather than just entertained them.
And on that spring day in 2004, when a small, old book called
The Science of Getting Rich
was put into her hands, and Rhonda's whole life suddenly pulled into
spectacular focus, she knew exactly what her mission was to become. She
was going to take this knowledge to the world. She was going to make a
movie to carry joy to every corner of the Earth. And so the great
journey that was
The Secret began.
In early 2005, when
The Secret was simply a name and a
(momentous) vision, Prime Time Productions was made up of Rhonda,
Producer Paul Harrington, and Director Drew Heriot. Paul, who had
worked with Rhonda at Prime Time Productions virtually since its
beginning, and Drew, who had directed several projects for the company
as well, became, with Rhonda, the foundation for
The Secret team.
For eight weeks Rhonda intensively taught everything she had learned to
Paul and Drew. In two short months she had studied the great leaders
from the past, read hundreds of books, and amassed countless hours of
research. Previous to what Rhonda had thought, she discovered there
were people out there alive who were aware of this information.
Actually, there were lots of them, and they were some of the world's
greatest living scientists, philosophers, and authors. In every part of
the world, different fragments of The Secret were being offered, to anyone that would listen. All that was needed was to pull all of the pieces together...
One of Rhonda's initial intentions for the creation of the show was that Prime Time Productions would use
The Secret to make
The Secret...
that it would be an effortless, joyful journey as they attracted
everything and everyone that was needed to fulfil the vision. And right
when the company was ready to begin production, as if by magic, the
perfect people to make
The Secret began to appear.
Suddenly the office was filled with people, all working to complete the
most ambitious project any of them had ever worked on. And without
fail, every person required on the team, materialized exactly when they
were needed: Glenda Bell, Production Manager extraordinaire, Marc
Goldenfein, a talented young Producer and Director, genius editors
Damien Corboy and Daniel Kerr, extraordinary graphic artists James
Armstrong, Shamus Hoare, Andy Lewis, and Nic George, post production
co-ordinator Emma Franz, the youthful and eager production assistants
Skye Byrne and Leni Mex, and literally hundreds of others. And without
exception, every single person was taught
The Secret, and together worked in total joy as they worked for the joy of billions.
The day Prime Time Productions arrived in the United States to film the living masters of
The Secret,
they only had one interview lined up. But they brought with them an
entire crew, and the firm intention that they would film every person
they needed for the show. And in a matter of a few weeks, the team
filmed fifty-two 'teachers' of
The Secret. Wherever the team
went, more and more amazing teachers would emerge - great writers,
leaders, philosophers, doctors, and scientists. These teachers created
the foundation for
The Secret.
