| Restart from scratch. YES THIS IS EVERYTHING!!!!! Oh boy... this is a long one. But I promise. It's worth it. Are you willing to read this!!?!? I'll KISS you.
Yeah. You heard me. I am going to erase every single thing you’ve known about the LOA and reality shifting (same thing but whatevaaaaaaa) and start from scratch. What does this mean? Meaning erase all the things you’ve been “trying” to manifest and start from new. That knowledge, the doubts, the wavering, that never existed to you. Matter of fact, you don’t know HOW to manifest yet. You don’t know what affirming and persisting is. You don’t know what self concept is, you don’t know what 3D and 4D means, and you don’t even know who Neville Goddard is. What? Who the hell is that?
❥NOW LET’S START, ALL FROM THE BEGINNING…
| “Who the heck is Neville Goddard?”
Neville Goddard was a Barbadian writer, speaker, and a spiritual coach. He proposed a law in late 19th and 20th century called the Law of Assumption, and advocated the idea that God is consciousness. Goddard grew up in Barbados and moved to the US as a young adult. He taught various self-help methods, introducing his own claim that the human imagination is all-knowing, therefore God. Neville Goddard’s philosophy explained that imagination creates reality. He taught that whatever you imagine with feeling, no matter how big or small, it will reflect in the world around you (did you hear that? Even a grown ass adult believes it without questioning).
Yeah, that’s all you need to know about him for now, I think.
| “What is the Law of Assumption?”
Now, I’m going to hold your hand and say this because it’s so simple, you might think I’m joking. The Law of Assumption states that what you assume to be true about yourself and the world around you will shape your reality. Let that sink in. Read it again. … Again. Again until it clicks in your head. That’s all the law is. Whatever you assume to be true about yourself and the world around you will immediately be reflected into your outer world. No ifs and no buts. It is the LAW. Just like the law of gravity. It cannot fail. It is impossible to fail. The law is working all the time. Whatever YOU believe, will reflect YOUR reality. I want to emphasise that it’s YOUR assumptions that shape YOUR reality. YOU are in charge. Not his, not hers, YOURS.
“If you are willing to act and feel like the person you want to be, reality will reflect that back to you. This is real. Guaranteed. This is law.” - Nada Amari, ‘The world is a mirror’. You will only need two main elements when you discover this law. The 3D and the 4D.
| “Huh? What does 3D and 4D mean?”
I will keep this brief and simple.
❧|You encounter the “outer-world” through your senses when you live from the 3D, the fundamental level of consciousness. The 3D world is where we experience our daily lives. The area in which we engage with tangible objects and perceive time as progressing gradually. Our perception of what we see as reality is shaped by the function of our senses in this universe. Think of the gentle touch of your mother’s hand while crossing the street, the sensation of the wind on your hair when you were a child, sitting in the passenger seat for the first time, the sweet taste of a treat you decided to share with a friend.
❧|There is more to life than meets the eye according to the 4D. The 4D is YOUR world. Your creativity. Your comfortable place of imagination. This is the place where you tap into the version of yourself that possesses all of your wants and feel content that everything is yours. Sure, there may be the experiences of “good and bad”, but what gives? You’re the one in charge, right? Thoughts are limitless, and can influence the way reality is experienced. The 3D is what you make it.
Some people may think that what you see in the 3D world is what creates your thoughts in the 4D. That is incorrect.
It is not 3D = 4D.
It is not 4D > 3D or 4D < 3D.
It is simply 4D = 3D.
Your outer-world is not fixed; it is fluid, easily adjustable with one simple command.
| “What a rant… Ok so now that I know all that, how do I apply this to the Law of Assumption?”
Before you seek 3 million tips from manifestation coaches, panicking at the thought of not knowing what to do, before you dig a rabbit hole for yourself and go on a binge session of reading every single Reddit/Tumblr success stories about how and what the person did to achieve their dreams, let me tell you this firmly and in a straightforward manner: Decide, Affirm, Persist.
| "Now what in the world does THAT mean?!"
Keep your hair on! I've got a pretty good guide right here. But, here it a summary of what it means to decide, affirm, persist.
❦STEP 1] DECIDE.
Decide what you want. Whatever you want. There is no such manifestation as too big or too small. It all requires the same amount of effort if you choose to view it that way. It can be as simple as manifesting a dollar under your pillow, or as big as seeing a million dollars in your bank account. It can be as cool as manifesting a tattoo on your back, or your dream wardrobe. It can be waking up in a completely different room with Sabrina Carpenter singing ‘A nonsense Christmas’ for you. Spoiler alert… it requires the same amount of effort as manifesting a dollar under your pillow.
❦STEP 2] AFFIRM.
Affirmations are simple reminders that reassure you that you have what you want. No, you’re not chasing your desire. No, panicking is not the right answer when you “forget to affirm”. Affirmations are as simple as kicking back on the couch lazily going “oh, yeah I have that desire already…” while clicking your tongue in a cocky manner. Repetition is key. Affirm until you embody that version of yourself who already has your desire, because guess what? In your 4D world, you do.
❦STEP 3] PERSIST, PERSIST, PERSIST!!!
Persisting in your assumption, put into simple words, being in the state of your desire fulfilled under your desire manifests. Now this step tends to get a bit dicy for some people…
”I’ve persisted enough, yet I don’t see that desire manifest into my 3D world yet!!”
”Where is my desire!?!? Ugh I’ve been persisting for ages!!”
”Do I really have it yet?”
LOUD INCORRECT BUZZER (EEEHHHHHH🚨)!!! That is not persisting. Remember how I said the 3D is fluid and can easily change by your command? DO NOT make the mistake of ‘looking’ for your desire in the 3D world. Don’t rely on something that relies on YOU to change it. The 3D is nothing but a reflection of your past assumptions.
| “But what if my situation doesn’t align with my manifestation?…”
When persisting, circumstances do not matter. Read that again. …And again. You manifested those circumstances, you can manifest the opposite the exact same way. Your beliefs shaped those circumstances, they aren’t stuck.
| “Well, seems easy enough…”
“…But what if I have doubts? Or I waver?”
Well, good news is that you’re not doomed!
Doubt means the lack of trust in one’s capability of shifting or manifesting. It is like the subconscious mind's own way of keeping us safe. It recognises that you are trying to do something out of your comfort zone, so it immediately goes "wait, stop, stop, stop! Are you sure this is safe enough? Are you sure you can do this?” Doubts come in like an unwanted thunderstorm on a sunny day, but it eventually passes. Having doubts does not mean oh no, you're done for! You can't manifest anymore! You're human, you're allowed to feel overwhelmed, especially if you're new to this. It's okay to have doubts.
What's NOT okay is to waver and let those doubts get to the best of you. Wavering means going back to your old way of thinking.
Scenario time! To make this easier…
Let’s say you want to manifest something big, like getting your desired job. You decide, you affirm, and you persist. In your 4D, you are excited, you are 100% certain that you will get accepted and will make easy money in no time. …But then doubts sink in and then you think “oh… what if they don’t think I’m actually good enough?” As a result, you go back to thinking that you will never get your desired job. That’s wavering, because for one moment you decide that you have something, but then the next moment you decide you don’t.
| "So how do I deal with this?"
You simply remind yourself that you are the only one in control of your thoughts. You are the operant power of your reality (again, I’m emphasising YOUR). Put your foot down and remind yourself that manifestation/shifting is not supposed to be a battle between you and your mind. The Law of Assumption cannot fail you. It is working all the time. Once you choose to have something, you have it. Wavering just reverses that, leading you to manifest what you DON’T want.
| “So now that I know all this… I can manifest whatever I want?…”
Yes.
That’s all.
Yay.
GO MANIFEST!
