The Inspiration for the Film - The Secret

By Tim McKee

Many people, from business experts to philosophers, from number crunchers to mystics, have actually believed in and spoken about the Law of Attraction for centuries. If you are spiritual, you don’t have to go very far to the great religious texts of the world, to find it written about. If you are a concrete realist, you don’t have to go very far to find it alluded to often in the great speeches and biographies of those who have “made it” in capitalistic world. Proctor writes that the inspiration for this current book and film come from a “simple little book written in 1910…called the “Science of Getting Rich” by Wallace D. Wattles.”

Wallace points out that while we function with what he calls “the competitive mind” (and who in business doesn’t), we must “learn to harness our creative mind.” Again, he affirms the idea – scientifically as well as philosophically – that the Universe is made up of energy. Our very thoughts are energy…and as we ‘put out’ in thought, so do we ‘attract back’.

You have only to think of the people in your life who seem to live under a perpetual cloud. Yes, bad things happen to good people. However, it is up to us individually to go through the bad things, and come out on the other side. It is when we stop and allow the bad stuff to take control of our outlook, of our thoughts, that we literally hand over our energy to the Universe to keep us stalled in one place. And so, the black cloud stays put – right over our personal heads.

Proctor paraphrasing Wallace puts it more succinctly, “All that you include in your mental image will come to you through the physical realm – through the process of natural ways such as trade and commerce.”

Think of all those stories of men and women who manage to rise up against unspeakable, and often, horrible, odds. Millions of immigrants who have gone on to become successful business owners, and millions of no-bodies who have become household names, made it because they did not, would not, let go of what could be. Did that mean that they didn’t encounter obstacles? No.
Did that mean they didn’t get discourage, frustrated, and even sad? No. It means that their vision/dream of what they wanted to be and create was stronger then ANYTHING that could keep them ‘down’ and mentally, spiritually, and physically stuck in one place!

The hardest job you and I will ever have is to get out of our own way – mentally. The time is now to affirm the logic of thoughts as real energy; the time is now to accept that our thoughts cannot only change our perceptions, but physically change where we are as glorious creatures meant to have and live an abundant life!

Spy Cams - Bonding Film and Real Life

By Nahshon Roberts

You know the number. You know the name. It's 007. It's Bond.

Who does not know James Bond? He is the suave spy who goes on secret missions, use high-tech gadgets, uncover elaborate conspiracies, and still find time to chase after beautiful women.

Ian Fleming's fictional British Secret Service agent, James Bond, is not just a movie character.
He has become an institution, an icon of spy movies and spy cams. Over the years, 21 Bond films have been produced by EON Productions. This makes the Bond franchise the most successful film series in the spy film genre.

Acting before Spy Cams and Movie Cams From 1962 to 1967, Sean Connery played the role of Bond. Connery's first film in the 007 series was Dr. No, which was released in 1962. This was followed in succession by From Russia with Love in 1963, Goldfinger in 1964, Thunderball in 1965, and You only Live Twice in 1967.

George Lazenby was cast in the role of the British spy for the 1969 release of On Her Majesty's Secret Service. Lazenby's stint as James Bond was cut short when Connery returned for the next film, which was released in 1971. This film is the now legendary Diamonds Are Forever.

In 1973, Roger Moore debuted as the new Bond in the film, Live and Let Die. Moore would go on to make six other 007 films. This makes him the actor with the longest run in a single role. His last Bond film, a View to a Kill, was released in 1985.

After Moore, Welsh actor Timothy Dalton took on the role for the Bond films The Living Daylights, released in 1987, and License to Kill, shown in 1989.

In 1995, Pierce Brosnan played Bond in GoldenEye. This film became the highest-grossing movie of the 007 series at that time. Brosnan proceeded to star in three more 007 movies, the last one being Die Another Day in 2002.

The latest actor to play James Bond is Daniel Craig. His portrayal in Casino Royale earned the Bond franchise its first Best Actor nomination from the British Academy of Film and Television Arts. A 22nd 007 film is slated for a tentative 2008 release.

Q and the Real Secret Service Q is responsible for outfitting 007 with the latest in spy gadgetry. Even with the fictional quality of the equipment developed by the Secret Service's Quartermaster, Q, most of the movie's gadgets parallel those used by secret agents in real life.

Examples of gadgetry used both in the 007 films and in real-life espionage are spy cams. Q disguises spy cams as mundane, everyday items. These spy cams can be as small as a coin, yet still be very useful in retrieving information from high-security and restricted areas. In real life, a similar spy cam is used by agents. This spy cam is in the form of a Latvian-manufactured Minox camera. Because it is very small, agents can easily conceal it in the palm of one hand.

Besides spy cams disguised as non-essential objects, weapons concealed in ordinary things such as a pack of cigarettes, an umbrella, or a pen are also used by real-life agents.

The heavy parallelism between real-life use of spy cams and those manifested in Bond films prove that our technology is fast catching up with the imagination of writers and filmmakers. Who knows? Perhaps one day, James Bond, too, would make the leap from fiction to reality.
