I've read a lot of posts from your channel and haven't quite found the answer to this question. The thing is, you said that the law of assumption is real, but 3D and 4D are unreal. But didn't the law of assumption explain exactly this? I mean, according to the law of assumption, Neville Goddard explained that by changing the internal, the objective changes, and he also claimed that only pure consciousness exists, which I know you rejected. Plus, I'm a little scared by the solipsistic side of the law of assumption, which states that all people are reflections of you and only you experience this reality, and that really scares me. I also know that you rejected solipsism, so then why is the law of assumption real in your opinion? Sorry if I misunderstood, but I saw a post that said the law of assumption = manifest, so I'd really like to know what you think about this. Sorry if anything is unclear, I'm using a translator.
So I’ll start by explaining some concepts. According to Neville Goddard, the 3D and 4D are not scientific dimensions. They are metaphors for two different levels of reality and consciousness.
The 3D is the physical world, the world you perceive with your five senses. It includes your current circumstances, your bank account, your relationships, your job, your body and everything that appears to be "real" in everyday life. Neville taught that the 3D is a reflection of past states of consciousness. Basically what you experience physically today is the result of assumptions and beliefs that were impressed upon the subconscious previously (which I agree on).
The 4D is the world of imagination. He believed imagination is not fantasy but the true creative power behind physical reality. When you imagine a scene that implies that your desire has already been fulfilled and feel the emotions that would accompany that fulfilled desire, you are entering what his students call the "4D”. Neville himself often referred to it as "the world of imagination" or "the world within”. He taught that this inner reality is the cause, while the 3D world is the effect (which is where things are getting complicated).
For example, if someone desires a new home, the 3D may show that they still live in their old apartment. In the 4D, however they repeatedly imagine walking through their new home, touching the walls, hearing loved ones congratulate them, and genuinely feeling that they already own it. Neville believed that by consistently occupying this inner state, the external world would eventually rearrange itself to reflect that assumption (which is ~true, but not exactly the way he believed it was).
It's important to remember that these concepts are spiritual and metaphysical beliefs, not scientifically established theories about extra spatial dimensions. The terms "3D" and "4D" in Neville's work describe different modes of experience (the external physical world versus the inner imaginative world) which absolutely aren’t supported by science.
According to science, the 3D world is the physical universe with three spatial dimensions (length, width a d height). Everything you can physically measure exists within these three dimensions. This is supported by countless experiments and is the foundation of engineering, architecture, medicine and everyday technology.
The 4th dimension is time. In Einstein's theory of relativity, space and time are inseparable and together form what is called spacetime. Every event has not only a position in space but also a position in time.
There is extensive evidence supporting this model. GPS satellites must account for relativistic time differences to provide accurate locations. Atomic clocks have been shown to tick at different rates depending on their speed and the strength of gravity. Astronomers have observed light bending around massive objects, and particles moving close to the speed of light experience measurable time dilation. These observations have been repeated and confirmed many times.
Some advanced theories (such as string theory) suggest there could be additional spatial dimensions beyond the fourth, but these remain hypothetical because there is currently no direct experimental evidence confirming their existence.
This is different from Neville Goddard's use of the terms. Those ideas belong to spirituality and metaphysics rather than science. While many people find them meaningful or personally transformative, they have not been demonstrated through scientific experiments in the same way that the concepts of three-dimensional space and four-dimensional spacetime have.
Now. Stop idealizing Neville. He was one person among thousands of thinkers, philosophers, psychologists, and scientists. Even if someone sounds convincing, that doesn't make everything they say true. Einstein himself was right about many things and wrong about others. Great minds can make lasting contributions while still being mistaken in places. Every idea should remain open to discussion, questioning and refinement. I myself even re question a lot of things often to make sure that what I’m teaching is still accurate and objective.
To me, there is no "3D" or "4D”. There is only you. Saying, "It's in my 4D and I'm bringing it into my 3D” creates an unnecessary separation. There isn't an inner world over here and an outer world over there. There is only your experience.
When I say the law of assumption is real, I don't mean Neville's entire philosophy is automatically true. I simply mean that your assumptions shape the reality you are experiencing. That doesn't mean separate dimensions, solipsism or that everyone else is literally you.
I don't agree with the idea that other people are reflections of you or that you're the only consciousness that exists, because of a lot of incoherences in that idea.
Can your assumptions influence how people respond to you? Absolutely. Because of shifting and our subconscious expectations, we are aware of the reality we want. But being aware of a specific chosen interactions (because of shifting) isn't the same as creating another person's consciousness.
As for manifestation, I see it more simply. everything is already possible. Your role isn't to force reality to become something else but to choose what is true for you and experience that reality.
So don't get caught up in labels like "3D” “4D" or trying to figure out how it works.
All of those are separate claims.
The law of assumption is the idea that your assumptions influence your experience. Science supports many parts of this, although not in the mystical way Neville described.
In physics, the fourth dimension is time, not imagination. Neville borrowed the language of dimensions and gave it a completely different meaning. That's perfectly fine as a metaphor but I don't think people should confuse it with reality.
When someone says, "It's in my 4D I'm waiting for it to appear in my 3D” they’ve only created a distinction that doesn't need to exist. There is only your experience. There isn't an invisible warehouse where your manifestations wait before becoming physical.
Reality isn’t divided into compartments. It's just you, your awareness, your assumptions and expectations, your actions and your experience.
You are constantly shifting! There are NO separations. It’s instant!
The thing is that manifestation and loa and shifting ARE THE EXACT SAME THING! And the Goddard didn’t anticipated is shifting. Because he never thought that far. He stoped his reasoning where things started to make sense to for him, not as far as the reasoning and the concept actually goes. But as someone who shifted more time than I can count, IT IS instant. There are no delay or anything! The simple existence of shifting (the simple existence of existence) disprove all of this he said.
The simple existence of shifting disprove solipsism.
The biggest mistake people make is assuming that if one part of a teacher's philosophy seems true, then everything else must be true too. No!
“you said that the law of assumption is real, but 3D and 4D are unreal. But didn't the law of assumption explain exactly this?” ABSOLUTELY NOT! It’s not because Neville Goddard explained it that way that this is what it is, or the only way it can be.
“according to the law of assumption, Neville Goddard explained that by changing the internal, the objective changes, and he also claimed that only pure consciousness exists” FALSE! It’s not according to the law of assumption, but to Goddard’s interpretation of it. And it’s WAY more complicated than “change the internal and the objective will” actually. With today’s understanding and knowledge of everything, we know it’s about subconscious expectations and it’s more complicated that the “4D” and the “imagination world”. Also, I think this may be the most important thing you have to remember from this post, but it is LITERALLY IMPOSSIBLE to be pure consciousness. Like yeah I know it seems philosophical and deep, but it is LITERALLY impossible. And like you’ll read in this post, it takes about 10 min to disprove this “theory” of his.
“I'm a little scared by the solipsistic side of the law of assumption, which states that all people are reflections of you and only you experience this reality, and that really scares me.” Solipsistic is not a part of the law of assumption at all! This is a misinformation and misinterpretation of shifting! This would imply that people in your DR aren’t real. They are.
“I also know that you rejected solipsism, so then why is the law of assumption real in your opinion?“ because again, solipsistic have literally and fundamentally NOTHING to do with the law of assumption to begin with. (And it literally REJECT shifting as we know it and as I’ve literally experienced it! (and shifting = law of assumption)). The law of assumption is not about shaping reality and the universe to match your desires, it’s about becoming aware of the already existing and fully real reality that matched your desires.
Because Goddard didn’t created shifting nor the law of assumption! He tried to explained the concept with the best of his knowledge and experience at the time. But with today’s science, we are able to know more things and disprove others. He is not a god. He is not the creator of the universe or of those concepts we are talking about today. He is actually and literally just a guy. It’s totally fine to like his teaching and way of thinking, but he is not the absolute truth and it’s important to be able to understand facts when they are presented to us even if they don’t add up with what he personally said.
Question everything (yes including me. Just like you did by sending your ASK).
And don’t worry because all of your questions are extremely valid and interesting. But I think it would be a good thing for you if you would start engaging more in the shifting community than in the law of assumption (Goddard related). Because (respectfully), the law of assumption and manifestation community (who are not including shifting and are following Godard’s teaching like their life depends on it) are usually not super good at critical thinking and questioning their own assumptions. Their arguments often sound logical on the surface but when you actually examine the reasoning in depth (and include science, philosophy and medicine), they rely on oversimplifications, false dichotomies, circular reasoning and other logical fallacies. The conclusions may seem convincing but they don't hold up under scrutiny and are often short minded reasoning.
And that’s why as soon as I hear a content creator talking about “pure consciousness”, “3D and 4D” “solipsism” and other related things, i automatically block them because ON GOD the don’t know shit about what they’re talking about.
