Over the last few years there has been a lot of hype about manifestation. I too jumped on The Secret bandwagon...temporarily, that is. The reason I jumped off the boat is this: I feel that the most important element that was missing from these types of teachings was spirit. The role of our Higher Being actually does play into our successes and seeming failures. This was the missing piece of the puzzle. Also, understand that I am simply using The Secret as an example, because as we all know there were teachings upon teachings of the same nature that seemed to flood our space during this time.
As The Secret rolled through, and I started to understand its primary failings, I did start to warn my friends of its possible devastating effect it could have on the economy. I felt it to be a strong impact and downfall of our economic status in the world. Crazy as it may sound, I really do feel that so many who fell into the hype did lose a fundamental knowing along the way. The foundation of our experiences here on this earth is in learning, adapting, and sometimes suffering through to understand the cause and effects of our actions. These lessons often come to us as if we've been struck by a two by four, yet, these harsh lessons lead us to the beauty of creation. Teaching us what can work, and what doesn't work.
Therefore in the spirit of lessons, I think that we could use the failings of The Secret to help us understand on a deeper, and spiritual level, the true law of success.
