Is the movie “The Opus” the next level of “The Secret”? Will we have a foolproof plan to elevate ALL of humanity?

It’s already happening. Consciousness is like a virus. Once one of us begins thinking different, it effects all consciousness. Our WHOLE planet’s consciousness is being lifted.
Take a ‘litmus’ test….
One of my friends has been a ‘psychic’ channel for a couple of decades. During the first decade, when she said what she did, people would immediately shun her. Over the second decade, when she shares what she does, she’s swamped with requests for her aid. Did she change? No. The consciousness of the World changed. It is getting more and more ‘rarified’. It is getting harder and harder to hold on to the dense emotions that are hidden within us. These emotions are all coming out to be cleansed and released. Like all our skeletons are FINALLY coming out of our closets so we can deal with them in the Light.
What we’re seeing in the World today, has always been there. Right below the surface of things. IT coming out now, is a Healthy sign!

Hmmm, we will have to see. Interesting, the question is, is there anything new here. I will want to see the Opus.

I too am warmed and hopeful - I am also impatient.
I am impatient on a personal level but I am also impatient on a global level.
Tonight driving home I was so frustrated, so angry, that near me, around me, globally, there were people suffering.
I am sickened by the thought of 23 hostages from South Korea, now 22 held, one brutally sent from this Earth, are here we us, in this sacred space, but just enough removed that they live a different reality.
I sometimes feel that a slight shift would make all the difference, if we thought hard enough, prayed hard enough, we could release them.
I am convinced humanity lost its way and it can be found, but I am frustrated, and angered that as I shop for fresh tomatoes from a lovely farmstand, there are people held by captives, there are people suffering.
So what do I want The Opus to be?
An answer, maybe the Answer, I want safety and love for all humanity.
July 25, 2007 at 7:27 pm
I am hoping the Opus will be more in depth. I honestly keep waiting…..
(((SE)))Ask yourself the question, ‘How many of us in the World have been taught to glify suffering? How many of us have been taught that it is through suffering, that we reach God? The reason I ask these questions is because of what is lurking in our subconscious, just below the surface of things.
It’s this belief in suffering to reach God, that is, quantum mechanistically, creating it to manifest in our lives.
It’s really horrid to look at in our ignorance, however, somebody has to have the courage to speak up. Our World IS as our World chooses to be. By the Power of Faith and when we have Faith in. That being, Conditional Love, which all that is are rules for rejection. With rejection comes punishment, suffering and pain. But no corrections.

I agree that we live within what we allow, but there are so many of us now, inhabiting the same space, I wonder, who wants to allow what and how do we balance out our divergent needs?

the Opus is going to be totally different than the Secret. If you read carefully what has published it will be very different.
January 11, 2008 at 10:22 pm
I was at an event on Jan 9 and heard Douglas Vermeeren speak. He was awesome. He is the best speaker I have heard on goal setting and achievement. He also stayed after the event and spoke with people about The Opus. It sounds like most of the cast who was in the original Secret are still in the film while others have been cut. He didn’t tell us who was cut. He also shared the The Opus was going to be very different than The Secret. The film will actually have a storyline to it, rather than just cutaways like the Secret. it will be an awesome movie!!!
January 13, 2008 at 9:16 pm
Tara:
Were there other speakers? I am interested in learning more about the event…please share!

I just watched the trailer for The Opus on YOUTUBE. And I am defintiely a fan. The film looks absolutely incredible, the music so powerful and so many of the teachers from The Secret comign back. This film is a must see for anyone who was interested in The Secret. Chekc out the trailer at :

The Opus will definetely be better than The Secret. Doug V. talks about the four P’s: Potential Possibilities Probability Performance.
The Opus will help people create a plan to achieve their goal, something the Secret was seriously lacking.
I invite all of you to join my website, a social network of people inspired by The Opus Movie.

I went to The Opus Premiere in calgary last night and was one of the first people to see the movie. It was excellent! It was very different than the Secret. So when you go, don’t expect that. But the movie was so much deeper and practical. It really left me feeling like I could accomplish my goals. I think it is a much better movie. Make sure you check it out you won’t be disappointed!
March 30, 2008 at 9:23 am
I wet 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.

Greetings all.
I am interested in seeing The Opus, especially how The Opus was meant to help the followers of The Secret.
March 30, 2008 at 6:36 pm
The OPus is definitely the best personal development movie to ever come out. It was a ton better than the secret as it actually had real information in it. What a great movie. And the story was also great. I left totally inspired. I hope that Doug Vermeeren makes more movies. He has doen a wonderful job. Keep up the good work!
March 31, 2008 at 12:56 pm
Absolutely 100% agree. The Opus is by far the best presonal development movie ever. 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.

PRESS RELEASE by Stan Romero
THE OPUS
It’s not a secret anymore… The Next step has arrived.
From Vision To Plan To Performance.
The new motivational self help film has had its debut and the results are in. The Opus screened to sold out audiences in Canada and rave reviews. The two screenings in both Calgary and Edmonton had over 1500 and 1000 people in attendance respectively. Since those screenings internet blogs have been a buzz with thoughts from attendees like “This is the greatest personal development film ever.” “More practical tools than any other movie,” and “This film actually gave me the stuff needed to change my life.” (Google “The Opus Movie” and you’ll get a taste of what I mean.)
Producer, director and motivational speaker Douglas Vermeeren is pleased. But feels the project isn’t yet where we would like to see the finished product. “There are still a few things I would like to tighten up and tweak before we get to Chicago on May 1.” May 1st, 2008 is slated to be the official US premiere of the film, although the film will be screening for another sold out audience in Las Vegas later this month. “May 1st is a special day for us as it will be the first time we can share the film with the US public. And many of our cast, crew and speakers will be present for Chicago.”
Critics and laymen alike agree that this film is definitely the practical answer that everyone has been looking for since the 2006 release of the new age advice film The Secret. An internet Blogger who identified himself as “Jacob L.” said it this way: “ The Opus is by far the best personal development movie ever. 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.”
And I wholeheartedly agree.

So glad to see the unbridled enthusiasim.
Leave a link at a time, you Opus supporters you, so we can see it is not the wine,but the movie, you proclaim!
Peace unto you.

Here’s a link for you: http://www.theopusmovie.com/
The Opus was great. I am really excited to see what will happen for this film over the next while. There are many that I spoke with who are involved in the film industry and they are quite excited about it. I have heard more than one person suggest that this film will win several awards because of the dynamic and powerful story, the professional look of the film and more. I am a filmmaker myself and agree. it was very well done.
I just recently saw the Secret and although I liked it, I would have to say that from a technical point of view and as a viewer The Opus is a stronger movie. And here’s a reasons why:
The Opus had a brilliant narrative running through out. It got the audience engaged and the narrative also instructed and was relevant to the lessons taught.
The Opus has a progression of concepts, while the Secret shared the same information again and again only with different episodes inside the film. (Many of which did not relate to me at all - ie. A gay commedian, a girl on a beach looking for love, or a guy in his house looking at post cards of elephants.) The Opus is audience sensitive.
The Opus also provided practical, measurable information for the viewer. The Secret spoke about a mysterious law that really is more feeling than anything.
The Opus had appropriate visuals through out, The Secret I felt robbed the vault of stock photography available on the internet to anyone.
The Musical score of the Opus also told the story. It felt custom built, while the Secret felt like it also came from a pre-recorded library.
The Opus did not discount the faith of it’s viewers. Many different thoughts were expressed yet none were discounted. I have read for a long time this battle the Secret created with christians and others. As I watched the film I could really see how the New Age thoughts of The Secret overshadowed their message.
Feel free to share your thoughts, I love to discuss these kinds of things….
April 7, 2008 at 10:40 am
Dear Kevin:
I have yet to see The Opus, and look forward to doing so…The Secret left many openings to be reconciled.
thanks for your input!

Absolutely wonderful! Saw the moses code, saw the secret — The Opus is king! Excellent story. By far the most the most useful film of this kind! See it! 10 Stars.
April 16, 2008 at 10:16 am
Thank you so much to everyone for the wonderful support with The Opus. we are very excited with how ell the Opus is being recieved. We are also so excited to be meeting with so many wonderful people around the world. You are all so kind and enthusiastic. we really feel a great connection with you and wish you the best successes to come.
A few items of news for you. As you may or may not know the first few screeings of the film was to gauge audience reaction and get some feedback. This is done with every major hollywood movie. They call it “test screening.” For us this was partly what we were looking to do in Calgary. And although the film was well recieved there were several things that I wanted to tighten and add more impact with. As a result I have actually shaved 13 minutes and a few elements from the film. And now we are 100% finished. What that also means is that the OPus is ready to appear for sale allowing everyone to see it now matter where you are. This will occur in the next week or so. We regret that there will be limited supply initally but hopefully our duplicators will be able to keep up with anticiapted demand.
The “extended” cut of The Opus, which we are reading the kind reviews about will be available in various locations as a pay-per-view opportunity only. There were a limited quantity of these dvds made available from this show but they are pretty much all gone now.
We are excited to be heading to Las Vegas this weekend where we will be screening the new cut for the very first time. We will be there with many of the speakers and the next day Jack Canfield will be delivering one of his exciting keynotes.
Before I run I also wanted to let you know that some of thenews shows featuring the Opus have been added to Youtube. Please check them out, share commetns and forward them to everybody you know. Here’s one of them:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ig0sLvj17Rk
and here’s the other:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V50YV3eUW5g
This one also features my son, but the interview has been shorten. He did a great job but was really nervous. I was pretty proud of him.
Thank you again to everyone for your support and helping to create this amazing project. I am excited and proud of what we have been able to accomplish thus far.
Thanks everybody,
Doug

The Opus is definitely THE VERY BEST PERSONAL DEVELOPMENT MOVIE YET!!!!!!! I saw it in Las Vegas at the DSWA conference. EXCELLENT. I highly recmmend this film and encourage everyone to see it. It will make a significant difference for you in your life and your organization.
April 21, 2008 at 12:01 pm
I would agree. the Opus is by far a stronger movie than anything that has come out yet. It gives real infomration that will get you closer to your dreams than any other movie. I would encourage you to see it if you haven’t and you will understand what I mean. Now here’s a questions for Oprah… when are you going to take us to the next level and have the opus on your show???
April 22, 2008 at 1:20 pm
I also saw “the Opus” at the Direct sellers Womens Alliance in Las Vegas. This was my first convention for this group that I have ever attended. I enjoyed it very much but I would have liked to hear more about The Opus. They had many of the speakers there, but not one of them spoke (except Jack Canfield.) But he spoke mostly about the Secret. I feel, like many other people, that The Opus was a far better and more in-depth movie and I would have liked to hear more about The Opus. don’t get me wrong, Jack was a fabulous speaker. But frankly his thoughts from The Secret really didn’t give me anything new or helpful. It was just a lot of feel good stuff. The Opus on the other hand was very inspiring and left me wanting more. I wish Jack would have spoken more about The Opus. It’s the new project - the secret is now over two years old. Anyways, that’s just my opinion….
April 23, 2008 at 5:55 pm
Greetings Opus fans and Mr. Vermeeren.
Anything that transports the collective is welcome here.
Namaste.
April 23, 2008 at 9:21 pm
Just reading and noticed something to bring to your attention. You mis-spelled the producers name it is Vermeeren, not to be confused with the dutch painter with a similar last name Vermeer.
I just saw The Opus too. I loved it. it is interesting for me because I have been following the Opus now for months. You’ll see I was one of the first to comment on it on other blogs. But I just saw it tonight.
I am excited to see where this film will go. I believe it has great potential and I enjoyed it very very much.
I also just heard that there is a premiere planned for the Opus to come to Arizona next month. How exciting! I hope to see you all there!
April 24, 2008 at 9:43 am
Tamara!
Thanks for the editing!
Enjoy Arizona.

10 times the power - 10 times the value - 10 times the inspiration and motivation of The Secret. I know - I was in both. The Opus should be seen by every man - woman - and young adult in THE WORLD. Simply sensational!!!!!

I just saw the Opus. What a great movie! I have been a big fan and supporter of people like Tony Robbins and many other inspiring people and the Opus was definitely way up there. I think everyone should see this movie. I would be very surprised if Oprah Winfrey didn’t get behind this film like she did the secret. It is much mroe practical and life changing. It is the best personal development movie yet. Well done.
May 21, 2008 at 6:05 pm
Great Movie!!!! I loved it. Far better than any of the other personal development films is right. This one delivers substance and inspiration. not just a bunch of cryptical sayings and creepy music. See this film. You will love it and really feel inspired.
May 26, 2008 at 10:01 am
I saw the Opus in Salt Lake this weekend as part of the Zrii convention (which is a great brand new company offering the most incredible liquid nutrition product, contact me for more details.) Anyways, this movie was incredible! I loved it. The entire audience loved it. At the end there wasa standing ovation from more than 4500 people. This movie is destined for great things. I loved it better than the secret. This film is undoubtly the best tool to get to your dreams and goals to come along yet. I wish the Opus team the best success - but they won’t need my wishes - they are on to incredible things. I also heard Douglas Vermeeren speak. Although I came in a little late I thought he was probably the best speaker of the entire conference. Decision changes everything!
May 30, 2008 at 10:19 am
I saw the Opus in Scottsdale arizona! What an incredible moive! It is a MUST see fr sure. It was far different but FAr Far Far better than the Secret. It was so much more inspiring and moving. WOW - That’s all I can say. I also really enjoyed the introduction of the film by the Creator Douglas Vermeeren. He is ethe best speaker I hav ever heard. He had the audience so engaged and taught in such a powerful way I have never before heard. WOW! That’s all I can say. It was a very fun day in Scottsdale!
May 31, 2008 at 6:50 pm
Hello All. I am very interested in knowing how The Opus can elevate humanity as a whole.

The Opus was an amazing film. I loved it. It was truly inspiring and the teachers were great. This is definitely a film I will be showing all my family, friends and students. This movie is a must see.
June 2, 2008 at 6:25 pm
I really liked The Opus and I think one of the reasons it is becoming so successful is the simple fact that it is simple and straight forward. There are alot of useful goal setting tools that are out there, but many of them make the process very complex. The Opus was a fresh look at something that many people struggle with and as such it was very impactful. I am confident that we will hear of this film soon on Oprah and the like. It has a powerful and inspiring message that is destined to touch many people in a very significant way. How wonderful! Keep it up Opus creators.
June 7, 2008 at 10:47 am
The Opus has changed my life and the lives of several of my family members. We have discovered a greater purpose in giving back and sharing joy with others. We have always talked about helping in our community - but the Opus has inspired us to really make a difference. To take action and create our Opus Now. We have already felt the joy and benefit from being part of the legacy the Opus is creating!
June 15, 2008 at 1:36 pm
We all look for the deliverance tool for all mankind, not just a select few. If “The Opus” takes us one step closer, bravo.
June 25, 2008 at 8:27 pm

June 27, 2008 at 9:29 pm
What a great movie. A friend of mine showed me the Opus today and I havre to say It was great. An incredible inspiring movie that was just what I needed. After the Secret I thought wow, but I really didn’t know what to do next. The Opus delivers that answer. Great movie.
July 5, 2008 at 2:08 pm
Have you heard of “The Compass”?
There is a new movie with cast members from The Opus, The Secret and network TV.
I heard it’s coming out in February of 2009.
July 7, 2008 at 10:55 am
Yes I checked it out. It doesn’t look as good as the Opus and they are using the same slogan as “Pass It On.” Which was terrible. I wish them luck but so far it looks like “Pass it on” all over again, I am not expecting anything great. There are alot of people jumping all over personal development movies. Some are great others are lacking. I think The Opus definitely has what it takes to be the best movie yet, which many are saying. Some of the others I have seen lately are pretty weak and embarrassing for the speakers involved.
July 11, 2008 at 6:11 pm
Thank you. And Toby, like to see a different spin-thanks!
July 18, 2008 at 5:04 pm
I loved The Opus. It was great. A super outstanding sequle for The Secret. I loved it. I found it gave great insights into the next steps to take towards getting to success in your life. I think that it was very different in look and feel to The Secret - but it was definitely full of wonderful informaiton that will take humanity to the next level!
