Ah, The Secret.
That early 2000s phenomenon that rocked the world.
Just think it, and it happens. Just stay in alignment. Trust the universe.
All very true. And good.
And so are teachers like Abraham Hicks.
Listening to him is like dipping your toes into a cool mountain stream.
Nobody speaks alignment and resonance more clearly and intimately than he does.
And yet…
Sometimes the Law of Attraction fails.
If you’ve ever tried applying it without being supremely enlightened (which is, let’s be honest, 99.99% of us), you’ve probably noticed this:
Sometimes, no matter how experienced you are with manifestation, you just can’t get into the mood.
Or—you do get into the mood, and still, nothing happens.
Or worse: something happens that feels like the complete opposite of what you were trying to “Secret” into being.
A lot of manifestation theory (sadly?) doesn’t really address this.
It just tells you to try harder.
To clean up your vibration.
To believe more, align better, stay positive.
But what if you’re not meant to feel good all the time?
What if getting slapped with bad stuff is actually part of the process?
What if manifestation isn’t meant to be 100% under your control all the time?
That’s a humbling thought, isn’t it?
But it’s also kind of empowering—because it offers a way to reframe manifestation so it becomes more real, more resilient, more human. More powerful.
It’s a simple reframe really, but it means the power isn’t always in your hands.
Sometimes you have to let go of control, and humble yourself, in order to move forward along the spiral.
Because the spiral doesn’t only grow upward.
It grows in all directions.
And sometimes the only direction you can grow is inward.
So in simpler words:
Fuck toxic positivity.
Your baggage — the fear, the shame, the stuck places you’ve been avoiding?
That’s not just human.
That’s the fuel for the spiral.
So sure — keep attracting.
Just be ready for whatever you end up attracting, even if it’s not what you expected.
Assume that whatever is here… is the next step along the spiral.
And if you don’t want to take that step just now? That’s okay too.
Because while there may be no crying in baseball —
There’s no failure in the spiral.
That’s the full story.
