I was just looking through the forum on http://thesecret.powerfulintentions.com/forum/thesecret and fell over a woman called julia hamrick with a link to her web http://www.recreating-eden.com/ and look at the company name.

Also On the bit more fun side. If you look at har newsletter http://www.recreating-eden.com/newsletter_2005_autumn.html looks a bit suspicius

Quote:
Prime Matrix: The Only Safe Place
Our universe operates from a primary reality matrix and a sub-matrix. At this point in time, the sub-matrix, duality, is prevalent in the Earth experience, but it is not our original reality-state, or the one that will ever offer us the peace, harmony, joy, or safety that we long for. In fact, its turmoil is downright dangerous—actually, it's deadly! The only safe place is the Prime Matrix, and the more of our consciousness invested there, the more peaceful and harmonious our experience will be.

Prime Matrix, also known as the Unified Field of Oneness



Looks familiar Rolling Eyes

Weird, it looks to me like a trailer for "national Treasure".

Doing some research I found this blog that mentions someone named Joe Vitale who is involved with the project. [which is mentioned briefly to just being a movie]

When looking up Joe Vitale I found this, which talks about a book Joe wrote about Spirtual Marketing[?] and then leads to his website at http://www.mrfire.com

Which in my opinion makes "The Secret" sound like it's an infomercial.

The secret is ...

Aftrer only a few minutes of digging around I found what I believe the show is referring to, the big "secret" they are revealing.

http://www.pelmanismonline.com/

I thought it was interesting that the wording of the trailer is, in parts, almost identical to some of the early Chasing The Wish trailer material.

I can assure you, however, that I have nothing to do with this.

No suprize to me that the wiz him self would figure out the secret... I also want to add that after being led to the name of this so called secret, I was tickled at what was my first google result "Pelmanism the Card game"

Nice one addlepated.

Looks like Rosicrucians are even a better bet:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rosicrucians

In the dutch version there is even a list of famous Rosicrucians that shows amazing similarity with previous posted names. Even Edith Piaf poppes up (not Pilaf)

+

http://www.abovetopsecret.com/forum/viewthread.php?tid=35236
einstein was a rosicrucian
Not most relyable source but hey.. its a source.

Well, and sorry for the double post, but I found out EXACTLY what is going on here through this page http://www.ecommerceconfidential.com/Blog/index.php?p=47

Here's the relevant quotes.

Quote:
In case you haven't seen it, Pat pulled off quite a coup last week. He sold nearly 1000 copies of a book he didn't even write.

How did he do it?

Pat took advantage of US law that allows anyone to publish books available in the public domain.

While browsing through an antiques store one day, Pat came across a stack of old self-help magazines from the early 1920's. Fascinated by what he read and discovering Pelmanism was in the public domain, he purchased a stack of them for just a few bucks.

He discovered several full-page ads for a type of self-improvement course called Pelmanism. After a quick
search on eBay, he found and purchased a collection of all 12 Pelmanism books for just a few dollars.

He then spent four or five hours scanning the books into Microsoft Word and wrote an online sales letter that incorporated the original Pelmanism ads.

When Pat and Joe Vitale announced the Pelmanism books to their mailing lists, they were astonished at the results.

They thought they might sell a couple hundred at most. Instead that ebook continues to bring in orders with no end in sight.

Ok, ok... see this is my problem with this all though...

Say this is all for the books and that crappy site (that could have been made by a 12 year old back in 1996, if I may say so...)

Well, then what is this television event possibly going to be?

What could be two hours long, with enough value to spend thousands of dollars (if not millions for worldwide coverage for TWO hours, is what I believe I heard). An infomercial? I somehow don't think so.

Personally, I still think this could be an ARG based upon these ideas, or at the very least, a drama series based on this idea of an illuminati-like uber-class of people with superior mind stability or something...

anyway, if it does indeed turn out to be some "tune in-drop your cash" informercial, then I'll be tres sad... Oh well...

(also, isn't it odd that on that game site, you can't enlarge the screenshot? Just odd, but not convinced it means anything yet...)

Could being the operative word. But seeing how 'comercial interrest' is only one step behind every link we find..... the more the C strarts looking like an SH.

Not that its any different with confirmed ARG's but I'm missing the PIG's.

I do believe this is the trailer to a .... whats that word again..... Docudrama.... or even a discoverychannellike "documentary"
Starting with......
"What secret do they share?"
Then throw in Illuminati, Pelmanism and Rosicrucians. Mix it with some shady but mindblowing special effects and ends with:
"We may never know."
