what is the law of assumption
Firstly, it’s important to understand what this law actually means. Goddard teaches that the way to create anything you desire is simply to assume the feeling of your wish fulfilled.
The reason is that nothing exists outside of your own consciousness, and your entire experience of the world is a symbolic representation of where your consciousness currently stands.
To change anything in your life, then, you have to change the beliefs and assumptions you hold about it.
Furthermore, everything that you experience is a result of your changing consciousness, so Goddard teaches that changing your assumptions, and assuming the presence of your desire, is the only thing that will bring about your aim. Action is irrelevant, since action itself is a symbol of your state of mind. Your shift in consciousness is the only thing that matters.
finding the feeling of your own desire
In order to assume the nature of your desire, you must simply pretend that you have already achieved your aim. Imagination creates your reality, and the more vividly you can imagine yourself into an experience, the more quickly you will be able to experience it in the physical world.
The key here rests with your feeling. It is not enough to simply think through a desired scenario, if in the back of your mind you do not believe in it. You must have faith, you must access the way that you think you will feel once you attain your desire, in order for the practice to have the desired impact.
the importance of persistence
If you can imagine yourself into your desired state of being, then you have, for all intents and purposes, already achieved your aim.
The physical manifestation of your goal is a secondary reaction, a reflection that you will experience, so long as you maintain the feeling of the wish fulfilled.
Where most people fail to apply The Law of Assumption successfully is because they do not maintain the feeling of their aim long enough for it to appear before them. They do not persist in it, but instead allow the physical world to convince them that it is not realistic or possible for them.
Only when you can maintain the feeling, despite all physical evidence to the contrary, will you be able to manifest the aim that you have chosen for yourself.
