The Law of Assumption Explained

Discover the fundamental principle that governs all manifestation: whatever you assume to be true becomes your reality. Learn how to apply this law with precision and transform your life.

"An assumption, though false, if persisted in, will harden into fact."

— Neville Goddard

What Is the Law of Assumption?

The Simple Definition

The Law of Assumption states that whatever you assume to be true about yourself and your reality will manifest as your lived experience. Your assumptions—not your hopes, wishes, or efforts—create your reality.

This isn't about positive thinking or wishful believing. It's about taking on the identity and mental state of someone who already has what you desire, and living from that assumption consistently.

❌ Not the Law of Assumption:

  • • Hoping things will change
  • • Positive thinking without belief
  • • Trying to force outcomes
  • • Waiting for external validation
  • • Focusing on current circumstances

✅ True Law of Assumption:

  • • Living AS IF it's already true
  • • Feeling the reality of your desire
  • • Natural, effortless embodiment
  • • Inner knowing, not hoping
  • • Identity shift, not behavior change

Real-Life Examples: Wrong vs. Right Approach

Getting Your Dream Job

❌ Wrong Approach (Hope/Need)

""I hope I get this job. I'll try my best and see what happens.""

✅ Right Approach (Assumption)

""I am employed at my dream company. I feel grateful for this perfect opportunity.""

Why it works: The assumption of already having the job creates the mental state that attracts it.

Finding Love

❌ Wrong Approach (Hope/Need)

""I'm still single. Maybe someday I'll find someone who loves me.""

✅ Right Approach (Assumption)

""I am deeply loved and cherished. My perfect partner adores me completely.""

Why it works: Assuming you are loved shifts your energy to attract loving relationships.

Financial Abundance

❌ Wrong Approach (Hope/Need)

""Money is tight. I need more income but don't know how to get it.""

✅ Right Approach (Assumption)

""I am financially abundant. Money flows to me easily and consistently.""

Why it works: The assumption of wealth creates opportunities and decisions that lead to prosperity.

Perfect Health

❌ Wrong Approach (Hope/Need)

""I'm sick and tired. I hope this treatment works to heal me.""

✅ Right Approach (Assumption)

""I am perfectly healthy and vitally alive. My body functions optimally.""

Why it works: Assuming perfect health activates the body's natural healing mechanisms.

How the Law of Assumption Works

1. Mental Acceptance

Your subconscious mind accepts your assumption as fact, regardless of current circumstances. It begins operating from this new "truth."

2. Behavioral Alignment

Your actions, decisions, and energy naturally align with your assumption. You begin acting as the person who already has your desire.

3. Reality Manifestation

External reality reorganizes to match your internal assumption. Opportunities, people, and circumstances align to fulfill your assumed identity.

Scientific Evidence Supporting the Law of Assumption

Neuroplasticity Research

Studies show that mental rehearsal creates the same neural pathways as actual experience

Journal of Neuroplasticity, 2019

Placebo Effect Studies

Belief in treatment effectiveness produces real physiological changes

New England Journal of Medicine, 2018

Quantum Physics

Observer effect demonstrates consciousness influences physical reality

Quantum Mechanics and Consciousness, 2020

Psychoneuroimmunology

Mental states directly affect immune system function and healing

Frontiers in Psychology, 2021

The Key Insight

Modern science confirms what Neville Goddard taught: consciousness is not produced by the brain—consciousness shapes physical reality. Your assumptions literally rewire your brain and influence quantum fields to create your experience.

7-Day Law of Assumption Challenge

Test It for Yourself

Choose ONE small desire and live from the assumption it's already yours for 7 days. Here's how:

Day 1-2: Choose Your Assumption

Select a specific, believable desire. Instead of 'I want X,' assume 'I have X' or 'I am X.'

Day 3-4: Embody the Feeling

Throughout each day, periodically feel the satisfaction and gratitude of already having your desire.

Day 5-6: Act From the State

Make decisions and take actions as the person who already has what you desire.

Day 7: Observe & Reflect

Notice any shifts in your external reality, opportunities that appear, or changes in how others respond to you.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

❌ Mistake: Assuming from desperation or need

✅ Solution: Assume from a place of satisfaction and fulfillment. Feel grateful for what you already 'have.'

❌ Mistake: Trying to control how it manifests

✅ Solution: Focus only on the end result—the feeling of having your desire. Let the 'how' unfold naturally.

❌ Mistake: Checking for evidence too soon

✅ Solution: Live in your assumption regardless of current circumstances. Evidence follows assumption, not the reverse.

❌ Mistake: Wavering between old and new assumptions

✅ Solution: Be persistent. When doubts arise, gently return to your desired assumption without judgment.

❌ Mistake: Making assumptions too large to believe

✅ Solution: Start with assumptions you can genuinely accept. Build confidence with smaller successes first.
