WHY 'LAW OF ATTRACTION' (LOA) SUPPOSEDLY 'WORKS' FOR SOME PEOPLE

For any of you who are second-guessing the law of assumption and trying to decide what is the best 'method' for you to manifest, then the answer is simple. The only thing that will work for you is the thing that YOU believe will work for you.

If you fully believe that in order for your manifestation to work you need to write an affirmation 55 times, 5 times a day, for 5 months straight, then that is what will work.

If you fully believe that your manifestation will only come if you start wearing a fake wedding ring, then that is what will work for you.

If you fully believe that you need to climb Mount Everest in order for your manifestation to come, then that is what will work for you.

If you fully believe that you need a fairy godmother or a witch to grant you your wish or cast a spell for you to get what you want, then that is what will work for you.

If you fully believe that the correct way to affirm is to do it while you do a handstand while hula hooping and that this is what will make your desire manifest, then that is what will work for you.

The point is, whatever you believe is what is true. Why? Because THAT is what the law of assumption is. The law that everything you believe and assume to be true is what will come true and manifest in the 3D.

So, when you come across people who SWEAR by the 'law of attraction' and methods like the 2 cup method or putting water outside under the moonlight and writing your affirmation on a piece of paper and putting it under the jar of water and drinking the water, then the only reason that this works for them is that they had so much faith and belief in the fact that it would work!

Some people, as per my previous post on taking responsibility for the 3D, bail on the law of assumption because they refuse to take responsibility for the fact that they ARE the god of their reality, and they may have accidentally caused something unfavourable to happen in their 3D. Being the god of their reality is too overwhelming a concept for them and they don't like having this pressure and responsibility, they end up needing something external from them to blame it on and believe in, which is why they may revert back to the law of attraction and 'the universe will take care of it for me' mentality.

The funny thing about this is, whether they believe that 'the universe' is what will bring them their desire or not, the fact of the matter is, has always been, and always WILL be, that THEY are the one controlling their world, and that the 'universe' that they trust so much in bringing their desires to them, is ACTUALLY THEMSELVES!

That's right. The 'universe' that people place above them, trust so much and place all their faith in, is actually just their own subconscious mind. Why? Because our consciousness IS reality! The universe in which we all individually experience is only our inner world externalised.

So, when people say 'trust the universe' what they REALLY mean, without knowing it, is that you should trust in yourself and your mind to bring about your manifestation in the perfect way for you.

If you come across people who say that the law of attraction worked for them and the universe brought them their desires, then this only worked for them because they convinced themselves to assume it was true, by constantly thinking (aka AFFIRMING - without realising) that it was true. They unintentionally put themselves in the state of the wish fulfilled by fully believing that the universe would bring them their desire, and imprinting their subconscious mind with this new belief by constantly focusing on it.

The other funny thing about this is, if this works for you, then who am I or anyone else to stop you? If you believe that the law of attraction and those other methods will work for you, then go and use them, because if you assume they will work, they will based on the LAW OF ASSUMPTION. Because the law of assumption is what is underlying EVERYTHING! HOWEVER, the reason why I and every other law of assumption coach really encourage you to hear about the law of assumption, listen to us, and to listen to what we are teaching you about manifesting, is because using the law of attraction VS the law of assumption is like taking the super unnecessarily long route to your destination, when you could just take the shorter, faster route, heading straight for your destination. Methods under the 'law of attraction' actually limit you, make things take longer to manifest, restrict what you are able to manifest (eg, apparently you 'can't' manifest a specific person. Only your 'soulmate' or 'twin flame' or what is 'meant for you', which is false and limits you to only being able to access things within your current reality) and OVERCOMPLICATE manifestation.

We just don't want people to waste their time waiting for some technique they heard about on youtube, where they drink their affirmations in some water to work, when they could just be using this time effectively by affirming and living in the end!

The law of attraction is filled with limiting beliefs, unfortunately, and even though the concept of 'like attracts like' is a fairly interesting one to grasp, it is not the whole truth, and people have started to make it way more difficult than it needs to be, taking peoples money in crazy amounts, teaching them whacky methods that are time-consuming, virtually pointless, and instilling you with beliefs that your manifestations can take YEARS to come to you because of 'divine timing'! Also, the belief that you can only manifest when you are in a 'high vibration' is totally false.

The only reason why some people successfully manifest when they are 'vibrating at a high frequency' is because they don't realise that sometimes when they are trying to get into a 'high vibration' they accidentally access the feeling of the wish fulfilled, and start to live in it all the time, AKA, LIVING IN THE END, AKA LAW OF ASSUMPTION!

You see so many people who ARE constantly in a high vibration in general and are always happy, but they don't manifest their desires. Why? Because simply being happy doesn't mean they are living in the wish fulfilled and are thinking thoughts in line with having their desire. These people may be happy and high vibe, but they are not living in the end state, and living in the end state is literally the only thing that you need to do to manifest.

THIS is why we encourage the basic principle of the law of assumption. Would you rather do a bunch of time-consuming wacky methods to manifest and wait maybe years for it to happen, and ALSO have limits on what you can manifest? OR, would you rather step into your power now, shift into the state of the wish fulfilled by thinking from the end CONSISTENTLY, and manifest in days, weeks, or in months (maximum)!

It's interesting how no matter what you do, you can't change the fact that everything is always operating under the law of assumption. Even if you start to convince yourself that the law of assumption isn't true and it doesn't work, then your 3D will have no choice but to reflect this belief, and you will begin to only see failure with the law of assumption. This would only happen BECAUSE the law of assumption is working and reflecting your belief that it 'doesn't work'. THE LAW OF ASSUMPTION IS REAL AND IT WORKS IF YOU DO WHAT YOU NEED TO DO!

AGAIN, ALL YOU NEED TO DO TO MANIFEST IS THINK AS IF YOU ALREADY HAVE YOUR DESIRE. THINK THOUGHTS THAT YOU WOULD THINK IF YOU HAD YOUR DESIRE. THINK FROM THE REALITY WHERE YOUR DESIRE IS TRUE. THINK FROM THE END RESULT THAT YOU WANT!

If you were standing next to the version of yourself who HAS your desire, all you would need to do is take their brain out of their head and put it in YOUR head instead. But when you do this, you can't keep your current brain. You need to be willing to abandon your old state (the shitty negative state where you don't have anything you want) because this will NOT be able to co-exist with the NEW brain (which thinks that your desire is already true and you have everything you want). Once you get rid of your current brain and replace it with the new one, you have stepped into the version of yourself who thinks they have what they want, and by doing this consistently enough and living like this completely, you will manifest your desires in your 3D.

(Obviously you don't need a brain transplant for real, this is just an analogy) ALL YOU HAVE TO DO IS THINK LIKE THE VERSION OF YOURSELF WHO HAS WHAT THEY WANT!

The only reason that affirmations are used and visualising is used, is because they are simply tools that train your mind to get into the habit of thinking thoughts in line with already having your desire. Law of assumption is not a method of manifesting, it is a lifestyle that we all already live by, so just make it work for you and commit to it! If you really want your desire and are sick of not having it, then TELL YOURSELF THAT YOU DO HAVE IT!

You just have to think as if you have your desire, persist, and know that this is what will work. This is ALL you have to do! No tricks, water, special moon phases, astrology, psychics, or tarot readings are necessary.

Just think as if, persist in doing this CONSTANTLY, and it will manifest.

PERIOD.

MOST IMPORTANT THING WHEN MANIFESTING | WAKE-UP CALL

Everyone is you pushed out.

That is the law of assumption. Whatever state and assumption you live in and embody is what you will see and experience in your life. Whatever reality you think from is what will manifest in and around you. We throw around 'everyone is you pushed out' so often, because we want everyone to know that they can control their reality. However, it is important that we understand the ENTIRE truth about EIYPO.

So as a basic principal for manifesting, we know that if everyone is you pushed out, then all 3D circumstances actually don't matter, because they only exist as a reflection of YOUR inner world in the first place. So, if you change your inner world, your circumstances will change too. Seems simple enough, right?

However, there can be times when we are manifesting or even just in general where things in our 3D can seem bad. They can feel hard. You could feel down, sometimes even hopeless. Sometimes you can really let it get to you and feel powerless against it. Sometimes you just want to give up. We are only human and feeling this way when everything seems to be going wrong is honestly quite natural.

I have had many people in my DMs and asks relaying various circumstances and going into detail about every little thing that is going wrong in the 3D and asking for help. (Before I make my point here, I want you all to know that I of course believe that it is healthy to talk about how you feel, and expressing your emotions rather than bottling them up. You are 100% valid in your feelings towards your circumstances, good or bad!) The thing is, we must remember that whilst it is good to express emotions (and sometimes in order to do so, we must explain some circumstances), we can't cling onto them following this and expect to manifest changes to these circumstances. When you retell the current/old story, you are continuing to reaffirm that it exists, holding it in your reality longer than you need to. Even if you combat your thoughts about the 3D all day, if you continue to talk about the 3D to other people, you are still holding it in your reality.

Look, I understand that it can be extremely frustrating when you are trying to manifest and everything seems as if it is the opposite to what you want. I know that it can be hurtful to have people in your 3D tell you you aren't good enough or make you feel as if you could never possibly have your desire, or even to say and do things which trigger your insecurities and lower your self concept. It can hurt. It can really hurt. This finally leads me to my point.

The hardest pill to swallow when trying to manifest, and probably the most important pill to swallow, is understanding that unfortunately, because everyone is you pushed out, you have to take responsibility for the fact that these things happening in your 3D that are triggering you, are only happening because your 3D is reflecting YOUR inner world... We need to be able to understand that, whilst we didn't do these things intentionally, the negative parts of our lives that directly impact us in our 3D are merely circumstances that we have created as a result of our thoughts towards ourselves and the state we have been living in.

Sadly, when some people hear this, they bail and turn their back on the law of assumption and go back to law of attraction and 'trusting the universe' to just bring them 'whatever is meant for them'. This is so disappointing to see. I have even seen it with people in my life, and I am going to share one of the most disappointing and frustrating stories I have seen with someone close to me.

I taught one of my old friends, who was really into law of attraction and spirituality at the time, about the law of assumption. She seemed iffy at first, but pretty quickly she delved deep into it and was extremely excited to finally manifest what she wanted using the law of assumption! It was working for her really well at first too, she manifested HUGE SUCCESS when applying for a job that required several entry exams, WITHOUT DOING MUCH PREPARATION AT ALL! She manifested so many guys to be interested in her and chase her like crazy. She found a guy she liked and chose him as her SP to focus on.

Everything was great at first! He quickly introduced her to his whole family and friends in our city, AND in another city. She was the ONLY girl other than his ex that he had brought home. His mother talked about how much she liked them together all the time and he told her about this. He initiated conversations with her about them being exclusive and TOLD her that they were. They had discussed their relationship developing into something more serious after he had achieved a certain career milestone and moved somewhere new, which was coming up shortly. Things were moving along so well, and even her psychic and tarot reading told her that this guy was 100% the guy she was going to marry. She even told her when he would make their relationship official (which lined up well with what they has spoken about too). But then, she fell for him really fast, and she let her doubts get the better of her.

She started reacting to the 3D, like, WAY too much. She would talk everyone's ear off about how her SP wasn't acting right and how he needed to get it together if he simply took a bit longer to reply because he was working. If he went out to a bar one time with his friends on a Friday she would get angry and talk about how she thought he was a party boy and was probably a 'fuckboy', even though he would call her right afterwards for an hour so she knew he was thinking of her. In the 3D, all signs were leading to them becoming an official couple incredibly soon, and he was CRAZY about her.

But for some reason, she became so impatient and demanding, but at the same time, she was reacting to the 3D 24/7 and not keeping any kind of good mental diet. So, there was no way that her manifestations would be coming quickly, seeing as she was living in the complete OPPOSITE end. One time, he disagreed with one of her opinions and simply offered his own, and after that she started to complain to everyone about him not taking her seriously or respecting her, even though that wasn't the case at all. She had let him trigger her so much that she started to describe him as a 'fuckboy', as 'immature' and as a 'user', even though at this point their relationship was already getting serious and he wasn't actually acting this way at all. She was jumping to conclusions based on her impatience and expecting the 3D version of him to automatically show up the right way, even though she wasn't doing any of the right things.

No matter what I said to her, she just wouldn't listen. I gently told her to stop reacting to the 3D or she would end up manifesting opposite results, but she would get defensive and insist that she was doing everything right. LOL.

It got to the point that she decided to meddle with the 3D to 'check' up on how her manifestation was going. At this point I had tired myself out warning her not to look to the 3D for results, so there was nothing I would do that would stop her. After weeks and weeks of her reacting to the 3D and telling a shitty story to everyone, she decided to ask him where their relationship was going, and even lectured him about how she didn't have time to waste and wanted a relationship now. According to her, he literally fell completely silent. You can guess what happened next.

He literally ghosted her. He became exactly what she had described. She manifested him to literally do a 180. All because she didn't do the work and she enjoyed living in a victim mindset and wanted to complain.

Following this, she was adamant that nothing worked out for her. Now, remember when I told you that she was manifesting getting a job that required some entry exams? Remember how I said that she got through ALL OF the hardest exams and passed easily, even without much preparation at all? Well, right after things went south with her SP, she had to complete the easiest test of all that was pretty impossible to fail. She failed. Twice.

All because she had completely let herself fall victim to her 3D and adopted an 'oh woe is me' mentality.

She was convinced that it 'wasn't meant to be' and completely fell back into law of attraction and got into so many arguments with me about how it was unfair for her to blame herself on her 3D circumstances. She claimed that if she wanted it badly enough, it should have happened. Oh, honey. Wanting it is one thing, but wanting it and constantly talking about all the reasons that you won't get it? Yeah, you're not going to get it if you do that.

So these things in the 3D that seem as if they are against you - they aren't. The only thing that is working against you is, unfortunately, you. This doesn't mean that you do not love yourself and this does not mean that you want to do these things to yourself at all! What this DOES mean, however, is that at some point recently, you have allowed yourself to continuously think in a way that has not been helpful to you and your desire, and you have done it so much that it has manifested within you to put you in a negative state, which is now being reflected back to you in your outer world.

The sooner we accept this fact and take responsibility for our 3D world, the sooner we can finally stop letting the 3D have power over us. When you FINALLY realise that YOU are the thing causing your 3D, then you will realise that there is no point letting it worry you. Why worry about something that you can control and HAVE been controlling all along?

When someone comes to me in my DMs or asks and explains their circumstances to me, I can tell if they are just letting me know about the 3D only so that I can understand what is going on and help them with their specific desire. But by the same token, I can ALSO tell if they are telling me about their circumstances because they are (unfortunately) stuck in a victim mindset, are completely unaware of this, and are continuously letting their 3D have power over them. Most of you don't do this on purpose and genuinely feel saddened by your 3D, and I am so here for you if this is the case. It breaks my heart to see you upset by your 3D. But, annoyingly, it is also pretty obvious when someone is only talking about the 3D all the time, because they aren't bothered to do the work, and it is honestly so upsetting when I see this, because IF ONLY YOU KNEW THE POWER YOU HAVE!

If these people would only realise that their circumstances are just reflecting their inner world, and that reactions like THESE where they rant for ages about their 3D circumstances is what is CAUSING these upsetting 3D circumstances to stay for longer, then they would finally be able to stop!

Stop and decide that ENOUGH IS ENOUGH and that YOU CAN AND WILL TAKE BACK YOUR POWER, AND MAKE YOUR LIFE AMAZING!

Don't fall victim to comfortable habits. Don't let yourself stay trapped in your circumstances because you don't want to feel uncomfortable. Don't tell your 3D that it has power over you! You tell your 3D that YOU are in charge! Step out of your comfort zone and STICK WITH IT!

Don't just sit back and let 'fate' take you wherever it takes you. Don't let life happen TO you! MAKE LIFE HAPPEN FOR YOU!

most people when they make white people jokes only mean the shitty white people and i am not a shitty white person

It’s hard to be offended when white people jokes involve bland food/tourist dads in socks and sandals/white girls in yoga pants obsessed with pumpkin spice/suburban PTA moms and other harmless and mostly true stereotypes while jokes about POC involve them being called thugs/criminals/slurs/uneducated/illegal immigrants.

“you’re going to DELETE a post you AGREED with just cuz you found out ops a terf??”

yeah turns out learning that people having uber bigoted ideologies changes the context of the post buddy

lesbiantiope

I once reblogged a post about how a women’s bathroom was an important place of refuge, and that was why women often go to the bathroom in groups or to cry and why people leave those domestic abuse cards in women’s bathrooms, and how it’s the one place women can be away from men, and I was like “this is a fantastic post, yes” and then I found out the OP was a TERF and that post was suddenly no longer about safety in women’s restrooms. It was actually about wanting to make it impossible for trans women to pee in a public restroom. It was about making trans women seem like they invade a sacred place and make it dangerous. You bet your ass I deleted that reblog.

You’re the most recognised and internationally praised superhero, but you don’t fight any crime. Instead, you use your powers over stone and metal to repair the damage caused by the catastrophic fights other heroes get into.

fakecrfan

They didn’t call you a superhero when you started. You didn’t claim to be one, either.

You didn’t have a costume or a sponsor or training or anything like that. You were just a kid who had just seen your entire world knocked down. So, in a moment of childish determination and belief, you thought you could fix it all.

The first emergence of your powers wasn’t a huge triumphal moment. Moving stone and earth and steel doesn’t matter if you don’t know anything about how to stack things up so they don’t fall back over again.

Your first attempts crashed right back down again. That was your first lesson.

—

Even when you got good at what you did, they didn’t call you a superhero.

You still didn’t have a costume, but you’d gotten your hands on every architectural diagram you could and done plenty of practice. Then you started to show up to the aftermath of battles and put them quietly together again.

But it still wasn’t right. You couldn’t do much if you didn’t have the diagrams for the buildings demolished–if the city planners didn’t let you have them.

So you stitched together a costume, something bright and colorful that would grab the attention of the cameras on the scene afterward as you tried to work.

“Look! Someone’s putting those houses back together!”

The effect was instantaneous. The moment you’d grabbed public attention, there were requests for interviews, think pieces–each giving you a platform to ask for the help you needed.

This was your second lesson.

–

You didn’t call yourself a superhero, or come up with the name yourself. You were never really good about all of those things. But once the attention was on you, you got offers from managers and sponsors. One, a blonde with perfect hair who introduced herself as “just Sandy”

“I don’t have any money.”

“That’s alright,” she said, her grin showing spectacularly white teeth. “All I need is for you to take on some gigs and give me a cut.”

Sandy set you up. She got you the costume people would know you for, gave you the name, managed all of the PR and set up interviews. Your fame skyrocketed, and soon you were seeing yourself on billboards.

Soon you had access to hundreds of city plans and blueprints. After enough attacks happened, you learned them well enough to hardly need to reference them. After a few years, you could rebuild a tower in a matter of minutes, and cities in a matter of days.

Your powers evolved as your understanding did. Soon, you could read the entire layout of a building just from touching. Then, just from touching the ruins. You no longer need blueprints, then–just your own hands on the metal.

The gigs were simple, too–just fixing up hero bases after they’d gotten wrecked in attacks. Feel good work that paid well.

With the help of many people, you do more. That’s the third lesson.

—

The problems started with the homeless thing.

You were in between projects and itching to use your skills more. Creating homes for the homeless seemed like the perfect, feel good project to flex on.

It was, for the first few weeks. Then came the backlash. City dwellers crying foul, saying they hadn’t agreed to an enormous den of undesirables in their backyards. There were protests, white suburban moms holding up signs about drug dealers and rapists and criminals.

It wasn’t your choice in the end. Eventually the city mandated that you deconstruct your shelter, or they would do it the hard way.

Regretfully, you took it down. You did not look in the eyes of the people that had sheltered there as they had to go on their way.

It was the same story in every area you tried to build shelters in afterwards.

—

“Can we just buy the land to build them houses?” you asked Sandy.

She clicked her perfect teeth. “Sorry, there are laws against building new things in the city. You need mayoral approval to start a new construction project.”

“Why?”

“Well, there are already too many empty houses,” she said matter of factly.

You stared. “What? Then let’s just buy those and put people in them!”

“You don’t have that much money,” she pointed out. “Not when you’ve been giving it away every year. Also, it wouldn’t do as much good as you think. Just think of the effect on the market–”

This is not why you fired Sandy. But it was the first time you thought of it.

—

Opinion started to turn against you when you began using your interviews and platform to talk about this problem, to demand permission to build or otherwise help. Exasperation turned to hostility when you started to reshape the landscape to be softer to the unhoused, anyway–when you created caves in parks where people could easily shelter, or made every bench large and soft so that anyone could have a place to sleep.

Laws and ordinances passed, all regulating the amount of alterations one was allowed to make to public property. About how many changes you were allowed to make as you were reconstructing a city. The fines for altering things started to heap up.

Firing Sandy didn’t help. Your good reputation was always as much her work as yours, but after what she said about—you couldn’t.

You couldn’t.

You learned not to read the scathing opinion pieces on you. That was the hardest lesson yet.

—

Of course, shit really hit the fan when you were contracted to rebuild another base.

It was a simple enough decision for you. You found out they had been building drones and firing them on civilians. That at this base Techno has been building surveillance technology that would be able to monitor every single person in the country at every moment, and be able to fire upon them with impunity the moment suspicious activity was detected.

It made you rethink every base you had built in the past.

“No,” you told them.

“You already signed your contract–”

Instead of dignifying that with an answer, you transmuted the entire area into the rockiest, most impossible terrain you could. Every trick you had learned to make land easier to build on–you reversed it, turning what had once been the base into a precarious canyon of jagged, diamond-hard steel, nearly impossible to remove or build on.

“I said no.”

—

Stopping the construction of the stadium was the next kicker.

“You’re insane!” said the heroes who came to remove you.

“They evicted a hundred families for this!” you spat. “Those were people’s homes. It’s disgusting that it’s allowed for the government to do that–much less to do it for-for a stadium? For entertainment?”

And so you stood there for the next 48 hours, deconstructing every single thing they tried to put on their ill-gotten land.

Then, they sent the heroes to stop you. You were never the best at fighting, so they knocked you out quickly.

—

They don’t call you a superhero now. Behind bars, you glance over every thinkpiece and profile about the world’s most beloved hero fell. You read speculation about evil, greed, madness. All things you’ve heard about “villains” who came before you.

It makes you wonder about those people. If maybe you had misjudged them, too.

But that’s alright, you realize after the sting of it fades away. That was the second lesson, after all–more than anything, you need people to be talking. And for all the bitterness in these words, you realize grimly that people will never stop talking.

Once you’ve thought things through, you decide you’re ready. The steel of your cell melts away. After all, there is no prison that can contain you. No earth or stone or metal can withstand your will.

Your legacy as the world’s greatest supervillain begins with a left turn down the hallway, right to where the other villains are kept.
