There comes a point on the path where two seemingly different worlds — Nonduality and the Law of Assumption — begin to echo the same truth.
They may appear to contradict at first. One teaches: There is only awareness, no body or mind. The other: You can be anything you assume yourself to be.
But both are speaking to the same underlying truth — that the world is not what it seems, and you are not what you thought.
At the core of both teachings is this:
You are not the body. You are not the mind. You are that which is aware.
ND calls this pure awareness.
LoA often calls it I AM.
Both point to the same formless, silent presence — the observer that never changes, no matter what the body experiences or the mind believes.
This awareness is always here. It does not come & go. It is not born & it does not die.
It is you, without identity. You, without form.
And from this formless place, everything arises.
So if awareness is all there is — why do assumptions "matter"?
Because in the dream, what you take yourself to be shapes what you appear to experience. Not because the assumption is "true" in any objective sense but because awareness begins to observe that version of self.
You are not becoming something new — you are observing a version of reality where that identity plays out.
In Nonduality, this is described as the play of appearances. In the Law of Assumption, it's called manifestation.
Same stage, Same actor! Just a new script being observed.
The moment you identify as something — even silently — the world begins to reflect that identification. If you take yourself to be the unloved one, everything seems to mirror rejection. If you take yourself to be loved, the same world rearranges to match that filter.
But in both cases, you — awareness — remain untouched. Only the projection changes.
So, should you drop Identity or play with it?
Here lies the beauty of the meeting point:
ND invites you to witness all identity without attaching to any of it. LoA invites you to consciously choose identity, knowing it's all a dream anyway.
One says: You are not the role.
The other says: Then play any role you like.
You are the awareness that is free to be no one or anyone! 😊
And the more you realize this, the less tightly you cling. Assumption becomes light. Identity becomes playful. "Manifestation" becomes effortless.
Not because you’ve "mastered" it — but because you’ve remembered it was never separate from you to begin with.
Most people assume life is a series of causes and effects — if you do this, then that happens.
But from awareness, you see that:
It is identity that gives rise to experience, not action that gives rise to results. You don’t get love by trying to earn it. You are love, and then the dream shows reflections of it. You don’t get to your DR by trying to shift. You remember that nothing separates you from it but thought & suddenly — you are there. Eventually, you realize you don’t need to fix anything. You don’t need to change the dream manually.
All you need is to remember: You are the dreamer. You are the seer. You are the screen on which the whole thing plays out.
And when you truly rest in that knowing — "manifestation", "identity" & even the “external world” begin to feel light, dreamlike & even playful. Because none of it is truly separate from you.
Final Words
The Law of Assumption and Nonduality aren’t two separate paths. They’re one — just seen from different angles. Both are concepts pointing to the same truth (with a lot of extra wording or "rules?" that tend to confuse some of you)
Both invite you to just return to the self. One through silence & surrender. The other through assumption and embodiment.
But the destination is the same:
The recognition that all you seek already lives in you. Because you are — and have always been — the pure awareness behind it all.
If you read this whole thing… you’re either extremely devoted or just unhinged enough lol. Either way, I love you. Welcome home.
Felt sentimental so I decided to create realisophie-archive :') There's too many posts to save to keep them on my side blog for reblogs (which was originally for my faves). Also I wanted to sort her posts into the various topics so it would be even easier to find info and I can do this easier when there's a dedicated side blog. My first aim is to archive all the posts that aren't already on one of my blogs (here or @4dkellyreblogs) and then either migrate or just reblog all the other posts to the archive.
This is going to be a long-term side project - I have no idea how long this will take because she had a lot of posts and also I prefer not to spend as much time on tumblr anymore as I used to but nevertheless I would like to see a full archive of her posts eventually! Emphasis on the eventuallyyy but feel free to follow for the journey of my archiving too lol
Also, if anyone has a link to the most recent master list, please share!
an anon said (I forgot who) that they realized they were trying to realize self through the ego. They were faking those feelings. I gotta admit, that sounds a lot like me. I’m observing my thoughts, but I suddenly start wondering if I’m doing it right, doubting that I actually understand what self is, etc, it’s my ego chasing after the peace of self, but know my egos doubting if I’m doing anything right and I don’t know what to do.
Yuhh

How do I go about it when it comes to having faith and "manifesting" my dogs temperment. I have been trying to train him but my parents have had it with him im not even close to being 17 and can't do nothing about this. They have told me if my dog isn't trained they have to give him away, i truly love my dog he'sthe best thing that has ever happened to me..I have school giving me almost no time to train him (plus his breed are known for being aggressive with strangers and very stubborn when it comes to training makibg it extremely hard especially when hes not food driven.) How can i live freely with a dog who is fully train so I can keep him ?
Why do people choose this acc for manifesting questions? Or do they send it to 10 other blogs to get as many opinions as possible? Let me know
Check what you accepted as a reality about your dog: untrained, aggressive breed, stubborn etc. Change your mind about how your dog is, and let it be. If your dog was perfect you wouldn't have to "manifest his temperment", so think from that. #howverynevillegoddardyofmetosay
hi, what to do? Everytime I pick a new ego or something I'd like to experience, I get bored of it before it even happens. For example, I wanted to go back to the beginning of summer and manifest friends that I will spend summer adventures it. I thought it all out and claimed it but by the next day I got bored of it and didn't want it to happen anymore. And I keep doing it with all desires i get, i just get bored of them and then drop them. I'm bored of being this ego, but i also get bored of other egos too. And sometimes it's not even that I'm bored of them, but it more so another ego now becomes interesting to me and so I abandon the previous one to become this one and it's just a cycle that continues.
This sounds less like a self realization question and more like you having to look within yourself to find the things that actually excite you.
When you love something it's not hard choosing it; self discover in the psychological sense first ✨ ORR just let everything happen to you as it is if you have no preference.
Life will lead you there (to the place you are unaware you'd love to be) by itself :)
Hi Sophie, I hope you're doing well. I've been practicing non dualism for quite a while now and I've read almost all of your and Ada's posts so far.
I think I understand it well and actually I feel so free. I don't have many thoughts recently and I feel like I'm just an observer watching this show. I'm not afraid of so many things that I used to afraid and I don't have any scary thoughts now. I just feel everything is perfect and will be in the future.
But there is something that is bothering me. The main reason why I got to know law of assumption and after that non dualism was because I wanted to change my appearance and now despise the fact that I feel relieved from all those past thoughts about my appearance and I feel like I look the certain way I want I can't see it in physical form and this bothers me and I don't know what is the reason. So can you please help me with this🫶🏻
Observe the body is the way you want and let it be.
If you truly knew who you were you wouldn't experience any desire.
There would be no struggle to get. You would be it.
The more I study the LOA, the more I realize people in those communities don't realize fulfilling self = ego.
& to clarify: the whole point of ND is to realize our true self, pure consciousness/"I AM" and disidentify with the ego/mind/body. Through that, we're able to live in peace knowing that we are higher than our desires that come from the ego.
One we realize that, we're able to "live" in permanent fulfillment?
We are, yes.
It's not about fulfillment though, it's about freedom. You already don't lack.
Wanting to manifest is not bad,
But pick one, either you want your realization or you want to get things in the world.
Stick to the one your heart can fully get into.
The one you are called to.
It's totally fine to want realize you are just not at a place when you can jump all in, and if that's the case it's alright, you're not impeding anyone. Read @aphroditeapprenticee-archive posts and give your best shot at that.
Again, it is fine to be there. Don't force yourself if you're not ready, your self is not going anywhere. When you are tired of it all you can come back here.
<General message not directed to you in particular, anon.>
hello! it is me that anon, i just wanted to confirm this part.
"• someone who is already existing in that body cannot have doubts about what they live as (it simply is)"
do you mean like the person living in Laura's body cannot have doubts about what they live as? (im so sorry i got a bit confused)
thank you!
Yes! Do you have doubts you aren’t Vanessa now? Does it come up in your thoughts that you are bodiless and people can’t see you? You know what you exist as. Just know yourself differently.
You don’t expect Vanessa to happen, you simply take it for granted that she is. That "I AM" this person. Make this person = Laura. When you say "my body" think of Laura. Hope this cleared it up! :)
Edit: Oh, and Laura doesn’t really think of Vanessa’s features/life any more than you now as Vanessa think about your friend’s! You can think of it as your old face if you want though, it doesn’t matter as long as it’s not what your reality/present is now. Just know it as irrelevant and continue in what is real to you now ♡ no fighting shadows, it’s a calm serenity!
Sorry this isn’t a success or progress ask unfortunately, I’m thankful if you decide to reply to it 🌻
I think my problem is that I keep believing that in order to change and let go of the ego I need to stop reacting, stop having the usual thoughts and feelings and stop being depressed over my miserable circumstances so I always have to consciously tell myself it’s okay to let the ego happen as it normally does and so everyday I get hit with my egos life and I really struggle to let go of it and really detach
I wallow in my problems to the point of crying and then I try to get out of it by remembering that this is how Vanessa’s life is and she can’t change so there’s no point to engage in it and that it’s okay to let her be as she is
So I’m always doubtful if I’m doing this right and I know that you’re supposed to gain this knowledge and trust by experience and I’m really far from that. All I know from experience is pain and for now I can’t really wrap my head around how I can actually experience being everything/ different people other than Vanessa
"It's the mind that imagines it doesn't know and then it comes to know." - Nisargadatta
It's your own idea that you're not liberated or have more to do that keeps you in a loop of doing more
What would you do if you were free? What would you do if you were already perfect? What would you do if there was no ego to deal with?
Hello, Soph.
I'm new to all this, I have a very fair amount of knowledge already, regardless I must ask:
Let's say Character 1, the body *I* am identifying with right now, is not graduated, and Character 2, the one I want to be, is graduated. All I must do is BE character 2? Because what happens when I get doubts from the ego, meaning Character 1, do I just ignore them, or be indifferent?
Thank you in advance!! <3
Yes, that’s right :) as long as you know it’s not you you’re good to go !
girllll how do i reprogram my ego to stop being such a victim. from what i understand, as long as my ego believes i can manifest something and wake up with it after a nap, then it will happen. but my ego is such a victim and i always go back and forth between "this wont work like that, i dont think this will work.... i hope this will work. maybe this will happen. why cant i make my desires come out of thin air" like im holding myself back from so much because idk how to have a proper ego
Why reprogram the ego when it's literally not you. Or real. Or true.
Stop claiming it as you or yours; that's all.
There is no such thing as reprogramming in nondualism.
Sophie I'm stuck with life. I'm in a point of life where everything is going against my will. I have a situation up in 2 days. I totally want shift to world were I'm not even close to the point at which I'm today. I know basic loa. But I have no faith or motivation. I don't know how to live in imagination when life is shit. I haven't manifested anything. Not even peace in my life. Please help
You're never stuck. The 'I' that is stuck is a storytelling I.
Do you think that the reason why some people feel like others aren't "real" and are NPC's is because they aren't as conditioned to identify with an ego as others are? I was just thinking about how sometimes people say they feel like they're the only conscious and aware person, and that it feels weird to think that other humans also have a conscious and awareness. As nondualists know, the world and bodies we live in, the eyes we see through to read this post right now aren't actually real, this and everything else is imagined. Therefore, people who aren't as conditioned to identify with an ego as others are experience moments where they sorta realize that they indeed are the only aware person (well, they're not a person at all, just the awareness) and that everyone else is fake, no one else is aware or conscious. But because they're so deeply identified with ego, they shake off that moment of realization and go back to the limited mind.
Your ego is just as NPC as other egos. None have free will. So to say *I am the only conscious person* implies they think them, Vanessa, is the only one with thoughts and that is not so. All egos operate the same so all are as conscious as each other. But since you are all and not only this specific one you could become aware of anybody's thoughts. And if you were Self you could also decide everybody's life/thoughts.
To say that they're the only conscious person is not true; that they're only conscious of this one now is how it is.
