I love your post for one simple reason. I have the same story. In 2012 one of my friends from a Zumba class handed me this movie and told me "Watch it at least 5 to 10 times to understand what is going on." I did. At first, I didn't quite understand what is going on. Then I got it why she said that I need to watch a few times to really understand the power of the secret. It has been changing my life since and I can't stop being grateful for this powerful knowledge.
I also not quiet understand in the beginning but I do sense some powerful feeling came from it. It's truly amazing once you understand it. Glad it help to improve your life too. Cheers!
