What is the Law of Assumption?

The law of assumption is a universal law that states what you assume will become fact 
in your current reality. Sound crazy? You’re not alone, but that doesn’t mean it isn’t true. 
It is amazing what you can accomplish with just your thoughts alone. Through a variety 
of simple techniques, you can utilize the law of assumption, made popular by 
philosopher Neville Goddard, and start living your dream life.


What the Law of Assumption States

The law of assumption is a principle, universal law that states you can get anything you 
want by assuming you are already living in that wish fulfilled. Neville Goddard has 
mentioned that this is fact because nothing exists out of our own consciousness. You 
are the one who is in control, and no circumstances exist without you assuming they do. 

So, if you want to manifest money, love, health, or your dream vacation, all you need to 
do is live in that wish fulfilled, visualize that it already exists, and assume that it is done. 
If what you assume to be true, then it has to harden into fact. That is what the law of 
assumption states.


How the Law of Assumption Works

When you first hear about the law of assumption, it can be really overwhelming. There 
is a lot to learn, different techniques to do, and practically completely reprogramming 
your mind and how you consciously think of things. But don’t worry, we will start simple 
with explaining a little bit more about how it actually works.

Your subconscious beliefs are what actually show up in your current reality, or the 3D. 
This is what you are going to experience on a day-to-day basis. So, if you want to 
change your life and manifest something into existence so you can experience it, you 
need to imprint your subconscious with new beliefs. This all comes down to your 
assumptions.

When you change your assumptions, you change your beliefs, and then you change 
your life because your subconscious believes something different. Everything around 
you starts to miraculously change and happen for you, as long as you hold on to those 
beliefs and live in the wish fulfilled.


Is it the Same as the Law of Attraction?

While some of the principles of the law of assumption are similar to the law of attraction, 
they are not exactly the same thing. The main difference between these two principles 
is in how you actually get your desire. 

With the law of attraction, it relies a lot on bringing your thoughts and desires into 
alignment. You raise your vibrations and frequency in order to “attract” your 
manifestations. But with the law of assumption, you simply change your own 
assumptions. It is a subtle difference, but a very important one. 

With the law of assumption, what you want has always been yours, just not in this 
reality. You simply need to imprint your new assumptions into your subconscious mind, 
and you will see it in your current reality.


Who Was Neville Goddard?

The person most people think about and reference when talking about the law of 
assumption is Neville Goddard. While he got the principle from the teachings of 
Abdullah, a rabbi born in Ethiopia who used the law of assumption to live out his dream 
life, it was Neville who brought it into the public eye and taught how the law works. 

Neville Goddard, who was an expert in mysticism and what is often referred to as New 
Thought. Until his death in 1972, Neville taught the teachings of the universal law, which 
he simply called “The Law”. It was the law of assumption, that whatever you assume, 
will harden into fact. 

But Neville Goddard didn’t create this law, nor was he the first to discover it. He actually 
was inspired by Abdullah, who was a rabbi from Ethiopia that Neville met in 1931. 
Abdullah and Neville would learn through Scripture, Kabbalah, and Hebrew for several 
years, which is where many of Neville’s philosophies came from.


How Do You Put the Law of Assumption Into Action?

Now the big question; how do you actually practice the law of assumption? Believe it or 
not, this is the easy part! To put the law of assumption into action, you need to identify 
what you want to manifest, “feel it real” through visualizations and affirmations, and then 
keep affirming that it is done until you feel like you are living in your wish fulfilled. 

There are many techniques people use, from affirming with looping affirmations over 
and over again to imprint on your subconscious mind, to using visualizations. The 
reason this works is because your subconscious mind is very malleable, as long as you 
know how to imprint upon it. You do this with repetition and a strong belief in what you 
assume. 

To simplify, what you think, creates. What you assume, is hardened into fact. Everything 
you experience is based on your assumptions, and yours alone. Those assumptions 
can be changed, which then changes your life.
