I've been enjoying this discussion too! It is something which has always seemed very contradictory to me, that we should be aiming to live as our highest possible selves, and yet 'The Secret' and all similar works say that we can also bring all our more material and physical desires into our lives, and indeed already are whether we like it or not... A huge pile of reading material on the subject came into my life recently, and I have come to the conclusion that we can live in tune with our highest essence or self, and use the 'Law of Attraction' without conflict. If we are here on the physical plane for a reason, and I think that we are, to learn, experience, create, then why not have some fun and use what we have been given to make our experiences work for us. If we believe that the things we dwell on come into our lives regardless of whether helpful or not so helpful, it would make sense to work consciously to bring the more 'helpful' things to us.
