☁️✨ non-dualism & the law of assumption can coexist beautifully ♡₊˚⊹
(you were never separate from your desires; that’s the whole point)
hi angels !! i’ve been seeing more non-dualism talk on tumblr lately (yay!), and i wanted to share my personal take on it 🕊️💗
NOTE: this isn’t a post about claiming one superior “truth”, it’s simply my way of bridging experiential non-dual awareness with conscious creation practice!
✅✨ non-dualism and law of assumption as layers of the same truth, NOT opposites!
i (personally) don’t see non-dualism and the law of assumption as opposites; i see them as layers of the exact same core truths.
non-dualism reminds us that there was never actually any separation from our desires or other realities in the first place. the only “separation” are the boundaries you yourself set up. in essence, separation is an illusion! everything, all versions of reality are equally real possibilities in the field of pure consciousness. when you shift your awareness/intention/attention to a specific reality, you solidify that possibility into your lived experience. that’s why manifestation/reality shifting GET to be so effortless! on the other hand, the law of assumption reminds us WHY we experience this illusion of separation from our desires and can consciously dissolve it through shifting our focus and assumptions. both approaches are perfectly valid!
law of assumption: the mind that perceives the world. it chooses, assumes, directs. it’s the mechanism of creation.
non-dual awareness: the backdrop that everything arises from: the infinite awareness that was never divided to begin with.
when you assume, you’re not “forcing” reality; you’re remembering that there’s only one pure consciousness, and that consciousness is YOU.
so essentially: you can manifest, shift realities, affirm, visualize all from the recognition and acknowledgement that there is no “you vs your desire.” you were never trying to reach it. it’s all already within you as pure consciousness (YOU at your core!!!!!), from which nothing is separate or lacking.
🌌✨ how the law of assumption fits into non-dualism
at the end of the day, the law of assumption is the mechanism: the inner movement that allows awareness to experience itself in any way it chooses.
non-dualism works because of that same law: if you assume “there is no separation and everything is me,” that assumption becomes your lived reality. that’s why people who rest in non-dual awareness can shift or manifest effortlessly; their assumption is that it’s all already within them.
the difference isn’t in truth; it’s in focus.
in non-dualism, awareness recognizes itself and nothing else needs to be done.
in the law of assumption, awareness chooses a specific expression and stabilizes it through belief and feeling.
both are true, both are valid. they’re not inherently competing, they’re two dimensions of the same universal law of consciousness.
you can think of it like this:
non-dualism is the state: the recognition that all possibilities exist within you.
law of assumption is the function: the way you consciously navigate and select among those possibilities.
so yes, non-dualism is true. and yes, you can still affirm, visualize, or script if you enjoy doing so. WHY? -> because you’re awareness choosing to play. whether you rest in pure being or shift intentionally, you’re still moving as the same infinite consciousness.
and if you ever notice a “divide” between the two? that’s just another assumption. 🌸
🧘🏻♀️✨ if you’re not “there yet” (and that’s okay!)
not everyone may be able to immediately rest in the effortless “it’s all me, it’s already done” knowing right after learning about it for the first time…and that doesn’t make you less awakened (in the sense of freeing yourself from the constraints of the 3D matrix; “money is hard to get,” “you only have this one world/reality/life,” etc.) or less powerful! it makes you human.
remember: we incarnated into a 3D plane with a subconscious mind, nervous system, and sensory immersion for a reason. the beauty of this reality is that it provides us with the ability to experience contrast (you appreciate light more when you know darkness), since we ARE at our core infinite and limitless awareness; pure consciousness. that’s part of the artistry of consciousness.
so if your current approach/perspective makes things feel more ‘attainable” in a way, that’s still powerful (affirmations, scripting, etc.) those practices are just translators that help your human self (physical 3D, your materialized body) stabilize what your higher self (the pure consciousness you ARE at your core, beneath all the other layers of YOU; your physical body, conscious mind, etc are still you, just different layers!) already knows.
you don’t have to hardcore force yourself into “pure awareness mode” (what some people may even refer to as the void) to shift/manifest. sometimes it can be more effective (depending on your current self concept) and sustainable to walk yourself there, step by step, through repetition until it feels natural. the law of assumption meets you where you are and helps bridge that gap until your self concept is stable enough to be like, “yeah, i’m not separate from my desires, ever! i can just dissolve any preexisting illusions of separation, and instantly shift my awareness to that reality, therefore collapsing it into my physical experience NOW!” and actually MEAN IT.
non-dualism doesn’t cancel out tools like affirming or visualizing, it explains why they work. every technique is simply awareness speaking to itself in a way that makes sense within the constructs + contexts of the human experience.
so if you’re still affirming, scripting, etc.? you’re not behind, angel. you’re integrating infinite power through the human lens. but that limitless power is always within you. it IS you. it’s an ability you are always able to tap into!
❓✨ why the “superiority divide” doesn’t make sense
sometimes i sense a weird tension: like non-dualists saying the law of assumption (LOA) is an “illusion of egoic doing.” but honestly? both perspectives can be true. it all depends on your vantage point.
if you assume separation, you’ll experience needing to bridge that gap.
if you rest in oneness, you’ll experience everything flowing effortlessly because they were never apart to begin with.
but ultimately? it all traces back to assumption. believing (and thus experiencing) that you don’t need to actively “do anything” to live in your DR is an assumption, at the end of the day. and if you believe that you need to do 23894 affirmations and visualize intensely 24/7? that’s what you’ll experience. not necessarily because your belief is “wrong,” but because that’s the mechanism you’re assuming to be true (and so it is).
so if you feel comfortable in being purely non-dualist and you’re at a place where you can just shift your awareness to a different reality, given that you genuinely hold the assumption that you can instantly shift there on command? do that! but i mainly wanted to make this post to also acknowledge those who may not be at that point right now, and may be a bit confused what the differences (or overlap) between non-dualism and the law of assumption are!
beneath everything, at your deepest layer, you are pure consciousness experiencing itself through different states. manifesting, shifting, revising? these are simply the ways awareness plays with its own infinite possibilities.
there’s no hierarchy here of “right” or “wrong” unless YOU create one. just perspectives. you can enjoy the “game” of manifesting while knowing deep down the game was never real separation.
i hope this post helped shed a bit more light on non-dualism and the law of assumption; more specifically, how they’re two layers of the same base universal truth! (or at least my perspective on how they go hand in hand) 🥹✨🫶
as always, please take what resonates and gracefully leave what doesn’t!
