What's missing from The Secret?

[Minyatur]

Is it the higher self that determines what will work out, and what will not?

The higher self is just a more transcend personality of yourself that resonates across the dimension of time into more than what you are in a single moment (happy a moment, and sad another and hungry a third). I'd even say it is a synergic personality that is more than the sum of all it's scattered moments, that's the higher self.

To the higher self you are not apart from it but what it is. All that your are here and now, in everything you feel across all moments of your life, is the strongest presence of your higher self in this place and is which has the most power if that is what you wanted to know.

So if I turned all that into a tip; Don't think of yourself as you feel in any single moment but how you feel across all moments, in each its intensity, if you want to ponder in what manner you are currently using the law of attraction.
