Το Opus είναι κατά πολύ ο καλύτερος προσωπικός κινηματογράφος ανάπτυξης ακόμα. Σαν πόρο ή εργαλείο για τους ανθρώπους που θέλουν να φτάσει στους στόχους τους είναι δεύτερο σε κανένας. Φύσηξε το μυστικό εντελώς από το ύδωρ. Το μόνο πράγμα Ι που αφέθηκε πραγματικά με από το μυστικό ήταν «σκέψεις γίνεται πράγματα.» Το opus με δίδαξε πολύ περισσότερο από αυτό. Στην πραγματικότητα, όλα έπρεπε πραγματικά να πάρω αρχισμένου και να φτάσω στους στόχους μου. Ήταν τρομερό. Να είστε βέβαιος να το δει.

Συμφωνώ. Η επίδειξη ήταν η μέγιστη ως εδώ. Σκέφτομαι ότι η σύγκριση του με το μυστικό δεν είναι το καλύτερο πράγμα που κάνει, επειδή το μυστικό δεν είναι ακόμη και στην ίδια ένωση. Μην με πάρτε λανθασμένο. Ήταν μια καλή επίδειξη. But totally nothing but fluff for a new age crowd. Δεν είχε καμία πρακτική ουσία. Το Opus ήταν χρήσιμο και ισχυρό. Είναι μια ταινία που θα αλλάξει τις ζωές και θα κάνει πραγματικά μια διαφορά για τους ανθρώπους. Το μυστικό δεν μπορεί να πει αυτού. Πολλοί άνθρωποι έγιναν εμπνευσμένοι λόγω του. Αλλά να είστε τίμιος αυτό πραγματικά δεν έδωσε στους ανθρώπους πολύ που ισχύει στις ζωές τους. Το Opus. Και για το εκείνο το επιδοκιμάζω τους δημιουργούς και όλους τους συμμετέχοντες. Ξέρω ότι δεν είναι κανένα εύκολο για να δημιουργήσει μια ταινία - το καπέλο μου πηγαίνει μακριά σε όλοι σας. Είστε όλοι τόσο θαυμάσιοι. Πολλές ευχαριστίες για να βάλει έξω την παγκόσμια μέγιστη ταινία.

Το Opus είναι κατά πολύ ο καλύτερος κινηματογράφος ανάπτυξης presonal πάντα. For the first time we have a film that delivers instead of just playing around with abstract ideas and non sense concepts. The Opus is practical, informative, entertaining, powerful and effective. I am definitely a fan and await with eagerness to watch what Mr. Vermeeren will be doing next. He has defintiely raised the bar on what is expected in films of this kind.
Thank you, Rod, Stephen, and Jacob. Welcome to Cyres Cafe.

I went to the premiere in Edmonton and Calgary. And it was even better in Edmonton. There were too many people in Calgary and it felt a little bit like a frenzy. In Edmonton there were still alot of people but not as many. I got a chance to meet Douglas Vermeeren, but in Calgary we couldn’t even get close to him. There was a spekaing event in the afternoon in Edmonton too. It was great. Luan mitchell spoke and I bought her book, one of the other speakers from The Opus and I can’t remember his name. And then Doug Vermeeren spoke. He was awesome. I’d never heard him speak before, I was totally impressed. The Opus is a show you will not want to miss.
Now for the question everyone is asking… How does it compare to the Secret? The Opus far surpasses the Secret in everyway. The information is better, the story is better, the music is better, the feeling of inspiration is better. It is just an all around better movie. The secret was great for what they were trying to do, but this movie actually teaches you something useful. Go see it.
Thank you, Cynthia

Does one size fit all?!
Have you noticed … how we put ourselves in self-imposed prison by giving things, in our now experience, disempowering references to everything they’ve meant in our life before now, even if the references are things we heard / read and didn’t even experience! I notice generalizations tripping off tongues around me and wonder, is that really true, is that now, is that applicable to all as you are making it, is that what you want to give attention to, could you create a new reality?
Are there exceptions? Could that be our expectation? Why put all people with the same “label” in the same box? Are we labelling people based on our own limited perceptions? Are we being compulsive or conscious when we say these things?
Are our perceptions paralyzing us or freeing us?
How present are we to our perceptions?

Further to Mum’s post talking out the subject of needless worries about the future having a detrimental effect on our life now … living in fear in the future and missing out on the potential of now …
Whether you believe in Jesus or not, what could we notice from these words now?:
25 “Therefore I tell you, do not be anxious about your life, what you shall eat or what you shall drink, nor about your body, what you shall put on. Is not life more than food, and the body more than clothing? 26 Look at the birds of the air: they neither sow nor reap nor gather into barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not of more value than they? 27 And which of you by being anxious can add one cubit to his span of life? 28 And why are you anxious about clothing? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow; they neither toil nor spin; 29 yet I tell you, even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these. 30 But if God so clothes the grass of the field, which today is alive and tomorrow is thrown into the oven, will he not much more clothe you, O men of little faith? 31 Therefore do not be anxious, saying, ‘What shall we eat?’ or ‘What shall we drink?’ or ‘What shall we wear?’ 32 For the Gentiles seek all these things; and your heavenly Father knows that you need them all. 33 But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things shall be yours as well. 34 “Therefore do not be anxious about tomorrow, for tomorrow will be anxious for itself. Let the day’s own trouble be sufficient for the day.
Anxiety, a state of uneasiness and apprehension, as about future uncertainties, is neither necessary nor helpful. It makes us heavy and slower and more indecisive. As Mum mentioned, being anxious is not fun for those around you either! I like Pete Koerner’s first word in reply to my question, “What is the best piece of advice you’ve ever been given?” - “Relax”. Aaahh.
Now is the best time to free yourself from needless worries.
Flowers do not compete or create effort and stress, they simply add to the beauty of the whole.
What part are we playing in the colourful carpet of creation? Are we being a flow~er?
Today, would you consider growing from fretting to the fragrance of fun and flow?
Let go and let good.
Would you contemplate ‘Trust’?
Would you notice your beauty?
Be the lily in the field.

I have a friend who works with me in the office. She opened up to me about her desire to retire and the fear she felt about the change to her income that this would bring.
We talked about the basics of pensions and outgoings, before we got to the root of the matter.
She felt she was financially trapped in a work situation because of her worry about finances in the future. She felt that she had been left with no choice!
This was having a detrimental effect on her ability to work. She was checking things over and over again, staying late at work, taking on other people’s work, partly because she likes to help people and partly because of a fear that she might be considered too old to do her job.
Realistically, this was adding too much to her workload. It was having the effect of making her appear grumpy, as she was unhappy with her work / finances situation … and it showed!
I suggested to her that she be realistic about the extra work she kept taking on. I reminded her that nobody makes her unhappy, she has chosen to do that to herself and only she could choose to think differently. Encouraged her to dissolve her fear before acting by talking it out. We then talked about the future in hopeful ways and about expecting good things.
The flowers in my living room are not anxious. They do not choose to experience needless worries!
In her panic, she had made a mountain out of a molehill in regard to her future finances.
We always have choices - and yet, we try hard to ignore this and give ourselves a hard time by worrying.
Often, this worrying can adversely affect the very ‘problem’ we are supposedly trying to avoid.
I suppose that ‘problem’ is an emotive word that is not helping our perception of things.
So, back to basics, again, *smile* …….
WE CAN CHOOSE HOW WE VIEW LIFE
Choose wisely and live in love … Jane’s Mum

I wrote the letter below in March 9, 2003, ten days before the invasion of Iraq. The letter was the most widely read text in that week, being reproduced by the main newspapers in the world, from Japan to Brasil, from France to Indonesia. It is also my most widely read text (according to statistics made two months later, close to 500.000.000 persons read).
