The problem with The Secret is that its not wrong.
But it also misses huge important points about working with the Law of Attraction.
Like, the universe doesn't care about what you say, it only cares about your current vibration.
You know all those downer thoughts that you have? Since all of them are part of what you are attracting, better get rid of those. And so, being a western minded person, you try to cleanse and purge yourself. (Christians have been doing it for eons.) But few actually get into their psyche and find out where those downer thoughts are coming from and going inside to fix them.
Yes, the Law of Attraction actually works, however, it is not some little secret that in the knowing just makes everything better. No, its like that stupid white rabbit. It is only the beginning of taking responsibility for all your shit.
Taking responsibility of your own shit as you said, is really important. Certainly something to not be overlooked.
I agree that psychological inner analysis, and reviewing one's owns thoughts isn't something to be simplified.
