Understanding the Law of Assumption
Remembering Who You Are
The Law of Assumption is a powerful concept made popular by the spiritual teacher Neville Goddard (who I am sure most of us have heard of). It is based on the idea that your outer reality reflects your inner state - or what you assume to be true creates your outer world.
The foundation of this concept is that there is nothing outside of us and our assumptions are effectively creating the simulation that we call life. It's almost like we have the star role in our own movie and are continuously writing the script on how it will play out based on what we assume should be in our movie.
The law of assumption is simple. What you assume about yourself and the world shapes your reality. If you assume success, love, or abundance in your life, these will reflect back to you. On the other hand, if you dwell in assumptions of failure, lack, or negativity, then more of this will show up in your life.
When you assume something, your subconscious will look for evidence to support it. This will show up in experiences and opportunities (or challenges) that match that assumption. The law does not discriminate, it does not have a mind of it's own, you are the mind and the law is simply the mirror.
Neville Goddard emphasized that your imagination is the key to using this law effectively. By imagining or declaring that you already have something, you align yourself with that.
The law of assumption is not a technique. It is a state of mind or an inner knowing that something is yours simply because you assume it to be true in your world. Not only that but also remembering that you are all that is. You are all that you seek and nothing is outside of you. For instance, if you want perfect health, remember that you are that perfect health. If you want abundance, remember that you are abundance itself.
Law of assumption doesn't require long winded practices or daily rituals. A simple statement or declaration is enough - there is no need to change beliefs or worry about thinking the wrong thoughts or not being specific enough. Just remember that you are what you seek and claim / declare it so.
I love to use scripting to declare my assumptions about my life but I do that simply because it feels good to do it that way for me - you might be the same or you may find it easier to visualise or simply declare it. We are all different and the law of assumption works no matter what.
Remember that the law of assumption has always been working in your life since you have been born, it's just that you were not conscious of it before you discovered it. Now you can start harnessing this amazing law to create your life more consciously and realise how good it feels to create your reality on purpose instead of by default.
It's time to remember who you truly are!
