What is The Law of Assumption?

October 15, 2023

Understanding the Law of Assumption

The Law of Assumption revolves around manifesting desires by assuming you already possess them. It advocates creating your reality by feeling as if your wishes have already come true. This internal shift influences your external reality, demonstrating the power of assumption. Nothing could be easier than this method.

Effortless Assumption: Embodying Your Desires

The beauty of the Law of Assumption lies in its ability to effortlessly attract your desires. Rather than chasing what you want, assuming the feeling that your desire is already realized allows the universe to smoothly manifest it in your life. Embrace this approach to welcome your desired reality with ease.

The Law of Assumption: Akin to Method Acting

Much like Method Acting used by performers to portray characters authentically, the Law of Assumption requires immersing yourself in the feeling of your desire’s reality. Just as an actor fully embodies a character, assume the state of mind and emotions of your desire, believing it’s already a part of your reality. This approach bridges imagination and belief to manifest your desires.

Origin and Foundation of the Law of Assumption

The teachings of Neville Lancelot Goddard, an American philosopher, form the bedrock of the Law of Assumption. Goddard emphasized the influence of ssumptions and imagination on shaping our reality. Central to his teachings is the subconscious mind’s role in manifesting desires, emphasizing that assuming the feeling of having our desires already impresses the subconscious mind, paving the way for their physical manifestation. The subconsious mind is constantly causeing assumptions, hence the name: The Law of Assumption.

Understanding the Distinction Between the Law of Assumption and the Law of Attraction

The Law of Assumption and the Law of Attraction are both methods meant for manifesting desires and shaping our lives, are often discussed together. They are not the same. Although they share common ground, they differ in fundamental ways.

The Law of Attraction: Magnetizing Desires Through Thoughts and Emotions

The Law of Attraction centers on the belief that our thoughts and emotions possess a magnetic force, attracting corresponding experiences into our lives. Positivity is a core principle of the law of attra ction, as is “vibration”.

The Law of Assumption: Embodying Desired Reality Through Belief and Action

In contrast, the Law of Assumption extends this principle further. It proposes that assuming we already possess exactly what we desire empowers us to create our reality. This means that there is nothing to attract, because you have it. And just like when you actually DO have that thing, you have good days and bad days, you can skip the positivity and the vibration too! Rather than vibrations and attracting, your work is to imagining and feel the reality you wish to bring forth .

Be Bleesed! Here are 10 affirmations just because:

I am capable of manifesting the life of my dreams.
My imagination is a powerful tool for creating my reality.
I trust in the power of the Law of Assumption to bring my desires to life.
I am worthy of all the good things in life.
I attract positive experiences into my life with ease.
I am filled with joy and abundance.
I release all negative thoughts and beliefs that do not serve me.
I am grateful for all the blessings in my life.
I am constantly expanding and growing in all areas of my life.
My thoughts and emotions create my reality.

Revision: Neville Goddard’s Approach

Revision: Neville Goddard’s Approach

Neville Goddard’s technique of revision offers a practical way to reframe, forgive, forget or heal past events and promote a new vision for ourselves. Envision and imagine, a different starting point, by revision.

A Trauma Healing Revision Meditation

A Practical Overview

Revision allows us to revisit past events and modify them to match our desired outcomes. It’s about choosing the emotional and mental responses we want to carry forward, similar to editing a story to have a happier ending.

“If, for instance, you had gone to an interview for a job you truly wanted but later learned that someone else was hired, you can revise that news to make it conform to what you wish you had heard.”
– Neville Goddard

How to Use Revision

Identify a Situation: NOTICE what you are imagining / thinking. Either about a past event or something that is happing right now, that has left you with negative feelings.
Relive / Revise the Event: Take a moment to name and distance yourself from the thoughts and feelings, and mentally revisit the event, but as an observer. Push the event or thoughts away (imagine them pushed away from you)
Rewrite the Script: Picture the event unfolding in a way that aligns perfectly with your desires. See and feel the joy, success, or positive emotions , give vivid colors, and bring this close to you (See it come towards you). Identify with this.
Embed the New Memory: Practice this revised version more than once, run it through a few times in your mind. Allow the positive emotions associated with the new version to become a part of you.

Practical Example

Let’s say you had a job interview that didn’t go well, leaving you feeling discouraged. With revision, you can replay the interview in your mind, but this time, visualize confidently answering each question. Picture the interviewers impressed with your responses, and feel the confidence within you growing. (A typical Neville example, career and promotions were some of his most comon stories, but you can apply it towards anything you like)

Why would you EVEN bother with this?

By embracing revision, we take charge of your narrative, otherwise your limbic systems survival brain leads your narrative without your consent.

“If you react by feeling depressed or assume any other negative attitude, you will then experience the same type of rejection in the future.”
-Neville Goddard

We revise our past (or present) to create a new neural pathway, and to reinforce the frontal lobe connetion to our CHOSEN narratives.

When we engage in revision, we’re not altering the actual events of the past, but rather transforming our interpretation and emotional response to those events. You change your REACTION to the past. This, in turn, affects how we perceive and act in the present moment, which is the appointed hour. Now is where we have the power to shape our thoughts, emotions, and our reality.

What should you expect from your revision?

“But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control”
– Galatians

If it is not a changed past, then what should you expect? There is a saying, “The proof is in the pudding”, or as it is phrased in the Bible: “By their fruits shall you know them”:

You Will Know Them by Their Fruits:

“Beware of false prophets, who come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly they are ravenous wolves. You will know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes from thornbushes or figs from thistles? Even so, every good tree bears good fruit, but a bad tree bears bad fruit. A good tree cannot bear bad fruit, nor can a bad tree bear good fruit. Every tree that does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire. Therefore by their fruits you will know them.
Matthew 7:15-20

In our case, it is our thoughts that are “the fasle prohpets“, the thoughts come to us, appearing as truth. The fruits of those thoughts are the fruits of fear, victimhood, anger or insecurity etc. So know that your revision is complete when your thoughts become those of love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control.

Imagine that the negativity was cut down and thrown into the fire, and can no longer produce its bad fruit, the fruits of fear, victimhood, anger or insecurity. With this tree cut down, your tree of good fruit grows, and develops. This opens your eyes to goodnes, opportunities, strenghts and joy.
