I was reading an article here, http://variety.com/2018/tv/news/allison-mack-smallville-sex-cult-1202788522/
“Mack’s connection to Raniere is believed to be rooted in the time she spent in Vancouver, where “Smallville” was shot. With so many TV series heading north to take advantage of Canadian tax credits, Vancouver has developed a large community of working actors, many of them young adults. Around the 2005-2006 period, a source said the actor circles in Vancouver seemed to take on a “new age-y vibe” with a focus on tools for self-help and empowerment. Some pegged it to the release of the 2006 documentary “The Secret,” based on the book of the same name, which features a number of philosophers, authors, scientists discussing “the secret” to personal and professional success that purportedly aided historical figures ranging from Plato to Beethoven to Albert Einstein.”
I have felt for a long time that “The Secret” was an evil book. Interesting that Mack got involved in that circle.
Could be, but What the Bleep Do I Know?
