In todays 101 we are going to be talking about the law of assumption, breaking it down , and learning how to ACTUALLY manifest your desires into your life.
I have been a part of the spiritual community for over 9 years and have been through each and every trend, technique, and coach that has popped up over the years. Each time I tried a new technique or practiced the law of attraction I was left extremely defeated, frustrated, and without my manifestations. Sometimes I would have a one off “break through” that would last for about a week and maybe bring me one of my desires.
I was tired, angry, and eventually would give up on what I wanted. By the time I was ready to try again, a new coach had “life changing” printables, videos, or courses that I could spend my money and precious time on.
What would come of them?
Nothing. Just more of the same. I would over consume success stories, techniques, and teachings. At the end of it all I would find myself in a rabbit hole not knowing what I was actually supposed to do.
The truth about manifestation is that it is all up to you. No one can force a breakthrough for you or give you some tincture that will give you all the secrets of the universe and make you a manifesting machine. The hardest truth I had to realize is that it’s all me, it’s all within. I am responsible for my life and everything I experience.
When I found the law of assumption was when I really started to manifest the things I wanted in my life. I saw the most movement I have ever seen in my life and it all happened QUICK. So quickly I would freak out once I realized it was in my 3D world. So today I’m going to break down what the law of assumption is and how you can start using it yourself!
What is the Law of Assumption?
The law of assumption is a theory, coined by Neville Goddard, which states:
What we assume to be true, we call into our reality.
How does the Law of Assumption Work?
Neville teaches us that by going within and already fulfilling ourselves internally we are able to manifest our desires in the external world. Let me give you an example:
Let’s say you want a kitten for Christmas.
You close your eyes and go within, you imagine yourself playing with your kitten on Christmas morning. You can feel the soft fur, you hear someone asking you “So what are you naming it?”. There’s a warm satisfaction filling you and you let a deep breath out in contentment. You open your eyes and you KNOW you are getting a kitten for Christmas. No matter what your parents, friends, spouse, kids, etc say you already know it’s happening because you fulfilled yourself. You already gave yourself the desire of having the kitten within and it is done. There is no worry or doubt or questioning how it will happen. You have a deep sense of knowing it is happening and confidence because creation is already done.
Skip to Christmas morning, there is a suspicious looking box with cat themed wrapper and your name on it under the Christmas tree. You open it to find a ton of cat toys, treats, and litter supplies. Your family comes out and surprises you with a brand new kitten! You feel the same feelings of warm satisfaction and contentment once again!
You already fulfilled yourself by going inside and giving yourself a kitten on Christmas morning, the 3D was simply a mirror that was showing you what you already knew to be true inside.
The 3D vs The 4D
You will hear the community talk about the 4D vs the 3D when it comes to the law of assumption. What they are talking about is your imagination and the external world.
Your imagination is your 4D, when you close your eyes and are staring at the internal expansive black void THAT is your 4D. Here you can imagine anything you want and fulfill ANY desire that comes your way.
Your 3D is the external world. It’s what you can see, hear, touch, taste, smell. The 3D is simply a reflection of the 4D.
This is why people say you can not change anything by changing your 3D world. It has to start within your 4D. Once you change your 4D world your 3D will follow.
As within So without
Go to the END
What the heck is the “END” and why does it sound so scary?
Trust me when I tell you the end is not something to fear and it’s actually the place we should be fulfilling our desires every time we go to our 4D. When people say go to the end they simply mean go to where you already have the full manifestation.
Let’s say you want a new house.
You’re going to imagine yourself already living in the house and enjoying it. You’re not going to imagine yourself looking for a realtor, touring houses, getting approved. Nope! None of that! Go to the end when all of that has already happened and we are enjoying ourselves. To where we have fully fulfilled our desires.
The 3D will always create a bridge to mirror your 4D. Our job is not to know the “How” our job is to know the “What” and fulfill that within ourselves. When I say bridge I mean the events, people, money, etc necessary to bridge the gap between your 3D and 4D will ALWAYS show up. You don’t need to worry about how any of it will align, just know that it will and have faith within yourself.
*This is not to say the law of assumption is only about seeing results in the 3D, it is not but you can read more about that in my warning section below and in future posts.*
What do they mean by “Persistence”
You will hear the law of assumption community say “Persist! Persist! Persist!”.
This doesn’t mean you need to do 1000 affirmations daily, hourly, or monthly. It doesn’t mean you need to script your entire life into your journal. It doesn’t mean you need to meditate for 4 hours straight.
To get the meaning of persistence we will go to the simple dictionary definition:
It is already KNOWING that you have fulfilled your desires and staying loyal to that assumption.
You have already experienced what you wanted and you know that to be true.
Let’s say you have straight hair, you already KNOW you have straight hair.
It’s your assumption and you persist in that because it is a fact. You don’t even need to think about it most of the time, you just already know it to be true. That’s what persistence is in the law of assumption. It’s feeding your new assumption by staying loyal and KNOWING that you have fulfilled it in the 4D and starving the old assumption or state where you were not fulfilled.
This can get confusing for a lot of people because they think to persist you need to do affirmations or other techniques to do so. If those are helpful to you then by all means use them but they are NOT necessary. Everything is coming from within you. Even when affirmations are working they are working because you ASSUME they are working.
Next time you have fulfilled yourself within your 4D and the doubt starts to creep up, the searching in the 3D happens, your fear starts to rise: Drop it. Let it go. Don’t beat yourself up about it and try to get to the bottom of why you’re having those thoughts and feelings. It does not matter because you have already been fulfilled. Simply return to knowing that it is done. You have already fulfilled yourself and it is done. There is nothing else to do. No worry to carry. No fear to demolish. Because you already have it. It is all within you.
Source Material + Resources
Now, there are SO many resources on the law of assumption available online. You may even find many people on twitter and tumblr that have written some amazing content on the law of assumption. I’m here to tell you to PLEASE for the love of all things good, read source material first!
Source material are the works written by Neville Goddard himself. He has many books on the law of assumption and I will list some below with links on where to buy them. They are usually anywhere from $3-$15 depending on where you look and some archives even have them for free as a pdf download.

You can also listen to some of his lectures by finding recordings of them on youtube. I have some linked below!

You Are Imprisoned Only By Your Concept Of Yourself
Another person I view as source material is Edward Art. Neville uses language that may confuse some people and Edward does an excellent job of breaking down everything Neville has taught about the law of assumption. He is fantastic at applying everything to the modern day and most of his videos/posts are easily digestible.
He has created his own subreddit where only he can post and you can easily search his material there. I will link it below along with his youtube channel.
Besides Neville Goddard and Edward Art there are plenty of law of assumption creators online with the majority on twitter and tumblr. I am by NO MEANS saying that what they write is incorrect. However, it is really easy for people to twist words to fit their own agenda or simply not understand the law correctly. It can be confusing seeing person A say you shouldn’t do this while person B is saying you SHOULD be doing that. Learn from source first and once you have your own understanding, start interacting with others in the community. It protects you and those around you.
*A Warning*
The law of assumption is all about within and the 4D. The 4D is your true reality. When you are fulfilling your desires you should not be worrying about looking for it in the 3D or when it is going to come. If you are sitting there and waiting for it then you haven’t fulfilled yourself. True fulfillment is knowing it’s already done within you and not worrying, second guessing, or getting impatient because you haven’t seen it in the 3D. This does NOT mean ignore your 3D. You are still human. You are still responsible for your body in the 3D world and need to feed, bathe, dress, and care for yourself. This law is here to make your life easier, not to get rid of the 3D.
This is my law of assumption 101 post. The key takeaway I want you to have is: It doesn’t need to be hard and you don’t need to spend thousands to be coached on something you already have within you. I’ll continue to share more on the law of assumption and all the juicy success stories I’ve had in future posts. There is so much excitement bubbling up in me just thinking about sharing all this knowledge with you!
