We got sent a video about something called The Secret the other day. And we can’t make head nor tail of it, seriously.
Apparently, some people around the world have The Secret and it makes them good at stuff. Einstein had The Secret, apparently. And Abraham Lincoln. And soon, we’re promised, The Secret will be revealed. We did a bit of digging online to find out what The Secret is, and we found this message posted on a bulletin-board…
"The Secret is the answer to all that has been,
all that is, and all that will ever be.
The Secret allows you to have, do or be whatever
it is you most desire.The Secret is everything you have dreamed of and
is beyond your wildest dreams.History of The Secret
The Secret has existed throughout the history of mankind.
The Secret has been discovered, coveted, suppressed, stolen,
sought after and bought for vast sums of money.The select few men and women who have known
The Secret are among the greatest achievers to have ever lived…Leonardo Da Vinci
Shakespeare
Newton
Hugo
Beethoven
Edison
Einstein
Carnegie
Emerson
LincolnNow, for the first time ever,
in a worldwide television event,
The Secret will be revealed to the entire world."
Sounds like a lot of fucking hippy bollocks if you ask us. But we’re willing to be proved wrong. Take a look at the video for yourself, and leave a comment if you know what it’s all about.

It’s all very intriguing.
After taking some print screens of the video (to get a closer look) reveals a name across one of the frames…Judge M.L. Mc Kinley (a judge in Ohio) Research reveals his name, judgship location but very little else. The video suggests a possible court case (to conceal or perhaps keep the lid on) a document? a scroll? information? of some type or hype?
Interestingly, on a historic basis…the time frame sets mentioned in the video coincidentaly reveal some interesting parallels with other media of the time….for instance,
the movie “The Secret Garden” a personal favorite of mine.

I also found a quote from William H. Taft (in this time period)
“There is nothing so despicable as a secret society that is based upon religious prejudice and that will attempt to defeat a man because of his religious beliefs. Such a society is like a cockroach — it thrives in the dark. So do those who combine for such an end.”

HERE IS A QUICK synopsis:
Part II focuses on Bodie’s ‘degrees and qualifications’, which, to embellish his image, embraced both medical and scientific qualifications from fictitious American institutions. These were subjected to close scrutiny in a court case brought against him in 1909 in proceedings that aroused much hilarity. As is well known, it was the M.D. that enraged medical students leading to the famous ‘Bodie Riot’ at the Glasgow Coliseum in 1909, the details of which are related in Part IV.
REALLY a very interesting article which also involves some type of court case preceedings, seems to suggest a movement in thinking and acting which at the time may not have been looked upon with great admiration.
Perhaps the Secret is to ask questions and continue to seek the answers. Perhaps the secret really isnt a secret after all. Perhaps maybe we are more powerful than we are comfortable admitting. Where does one hide something….IN plain sight!
It wasnt all that long ago that many thought the world was flat. Nay sayers never get off the ground. It is those who dare to ask, dare to question and dare to believe!

I watched this, very positive, made an impact on my. I feel now I should work to improve my life. As the video says, the skeptic will generate skeptisism
Malc says
I’ve been using this stuff for years, it’s not a secret but something that you don’t come across in mainstream media. You have to read the right books.
It’s not that only certain people possess it, anyone can use this information.
If you’re very down to earth I’d start with some Tony Robbins!
Johnny Baller says
Typical: no actual answer to the question. As usual, Baller will get the job done: just stay positive and not be a whining, pathetic naysayer. That’s it. Now go forth and do some good.
