I was wondering if anyone else experienced a manic episode after watching and fully believing in the secret. I had never been officially diagnosed with bipolar in the late years of high school, yet i believe looking back that i had very slight bipolar tendencies. It came at the end of my first year in university, and my interpretation was one where I beleived as long as I "felt good" which meant smoking pot and just playing out visions in my head they would manifest into my experience.
I believed that i no longer had to go to the gym, I could grow muslce mass by conciously becoming aware of my metabolism in my mind.
I believed that if I visualized my self arriving at my destination, there was absolutely no way i could crash by law of attraction.
I beleived in order to "bring myself into allignment" with being a millionaire that I had to spend like one. I gave cabbies 20 dollar tips for 10 dollar fares.
Has anyone else had an intense manic episode that was a result of this movie? The depression after is serious, my suicidal thoughts came in the line of thought that"I am a spiritual being trapped in this human body, and I dont like my experience so far so maybe in another life ill be able to experience and what i really want to experience.
those thoughts were put to an end. I was studying in Cnada abroad and I had to take a year of to go overseas back home to get medicated and be with my family. their unconditional love and support made me see that it would be damn selfish to bail out when life gets rough.
I know the movie has a good premise, but i cant help but loath some of the secret teachers(especially Joe vitale) for their deceitful messages, and gross over simplifications of the universe. I cant help these feelings but there was some seriously dodgy marketing schemes that made these people hella rich.
Id really really appreicate some feedback, my psychiatrist is being a douche and refuses to watch the movie.....but i told him that this movie is a ticking timebomb for anyone with bipolar....because it makes you feel as if you had a spiritual emergence and u are on a prophetic mission.
