Yet, for some odd reason I’m still unable to figure out yet, I’m not applying the law. I dislike my life very much, I dislike my circumstances very much and everything surrounding me, I even dislike myself. Well, one might suggest to figure out what I truly desire to be, but that’s the thing! Everything I desire are things I TRULY want and my desires haven’t changed throughout the years either. 

I come home, after a long and terrible day and I still don’t change my inner being. I try only to give up after a few days. I’ve been trying to finish edward’s art book for a month now yet I’m procrastinating to do so. I was so happy when you came back in late december but I’m procrastinating reading your replies. I procrastinate reading neville’s books and lectures, I listen to edward’s lectures regularly on youtube yet nothing ever truly stick to my mind that I carry with me throughout the day or actually apply. 

I want to change, I truly do. I want to change myself, my circumstances and my life. Yet I just don’t stick to it. 

I’m not committing to my life either, I just do the bare minimum and go about my day so I don’t ignore my circumstances. I don’t want to work hard and put in effort in stuff I hate. But I’m not committing to the law either.

What the HELL is wrong with me? it’s not finding adequate resources about the law problem, it’s not a desires problem; everything on my list are stuff I truly want and I don’t change them either. I truly feel lucky to follow creators like you and others and follow edward art, because I know even when people know about law of assumption they still could follow unreliable resources and creators. Is it that I feel the need to educate myself more on the law before applying it? Is it that I feel what I desire is impossible (I desire a complete new appearance, a new family..), is it that I’m undisciplined? But I read so many time that you don’t need discipline but love to truly commit to manifesting. 

I do realize this a very long ask so forgive me. but I desperate for an answer that will quenche my thirst and answer this question that have been ruminating on mind for quite a while now. 

Thank you!

My understanding of the Law of Assumption has significantly evolved since I started this blog about five months ago, I’ve decided to review and revise the contents of my account, and I thought about the many different ways that I could convey my new understanding of the Law of Assumption and decided that the best way would be through a fun challenge! I took inspiration from @divinegrapes’ "Operation Revive the Law of Assumption community"

Hello, I am Amphitrite—better known as Aphrodieties and I will be your host for this one-week challenge! I will introduce to you some fundamental topics for understanding this challenge and completing it successfully;

Understanding consciousness

Creation is finished

Consciousness is the only reality

The Relationship between Greek Gods and the Law of Assumption

The Challenge

Understanding consciousness

The definition of consciousness is difficult to explain as the term has been recycled and reused by a variety of different manifestation communities and each variation of the word, means something completely different. Consciousness can refer to the subconscious mind, universe, god, imagination, or reality depending on who you ask, but I propose a simpler definition—consciousness is awareness, that's all. Consciousness implies being awake or awakened to an inner realization of a fact, a truth, or a condition. Here's a little example for you, If I am sick, I must be conscious of the fact that I am unwell and I am conscious of this because I FEEL IT. I feel sick, and I am conscious of the fact that I am sick, and thus I am sick. When I refer to consciousness, I am referring to awareness, and that is what it means to be.

Creation is finished

Creation is finished is the idea that all things exist simultaneously; creation is finished is fundamental to the Law of Assumption and the success of an individual in their journey—wish fulfilled, Sabbath state, and living in the end, all entertain the idea that creation is finished. If everything already exists, then what is there to manifest? Creation is finished and all things exist within consciousness, If you can conceptualize it then it must exist, and therefore all you must do is become aware of such.

Consciousness is the only reality

We can only experience that which we are conscious of being; “Man is incapable of seeing other than the contents of his own consciousness. If I now become detached in consciousness from this room by turning my attention away from it, then, I am no longer conscious of it. There is something in me that devours it within me. It can only live within my objective world if I keep it alive within my consciousness." — Neville Goddard, Consciousness is the only reality

This doesn't mean that we aren't real and everything is an illusion—it means that if something exists within our objective world, then we must be conscious of it. Not as the outer man, no, it doesn't matter what the outer man sees, hears, smells, touches, or tastes because the outer man is helpless, the outer man cannot create or be anything other than what the inner man is conscious of being. Consciousness is the only reality and I mean the only reality! You are helpless as the outer man and you cannot control the world, and that's where most of you go wrong. You have no power as the outer man and you have no power in this world because consciousness is the only reality and that's why there is nothing and no one to change but self. Let go of control and control within. — I’m sure that you can tell that this passage is heavily inspired by @/sexyandhedonistic and @/Edwardart

The relationship between Greek Gods and the Law of Assumption

I'm sure some of you may recognize this from an older post of mine, which I've archived but—One might wonder about the relationship between Greek mythology and The Law of Assumption, these two topics seem to drastically contradict one another. However, that's not exactly true; Greek Gods are the personification of the natural world and the experience within, and personification is the representation of a thing, abstraction, or inanimate object as a person. This is very similar to what we talk about in the Law of Assumption community regarding; States, imagination, conceptualization, experiencing, and being. For example; A common misconception about Greek Mythology is that Apollo is the god of the sun and Artemis is the goddess of the moon, but that's not true exactly—Helios is the sun and Selene is the moon, Artemis and Apollo merely utilizes those domains. Apollo is sunlight and enlightenment but not the sun itself and Artemis was heavily associated with the moon because she used its light to guide hunters through the night. Another example would be Persephone, she's not the Goddess OF Spring—she IS spring. The personification of it.

This is what it means to occupy a state, what it means to conceptualize, experience, and, or be. If you wish to be something then you must be conscious of being that which you desire, similar to Persephone—she is not the Goddess of spring but spring itself, it is her and she is it. To imagine is to experience, similar to Apollo and Artemis who experience the sun and the moon.

The challenge

This challenge lasts for about a week and you can start whenever you wish. We talk a lot about not conditioning our desires and removing rules but this is an exception, There are some things you must do that are necessary to participate in this challenge.

The first rule would be to be indifferent toward the 3D, let's not place any weight on our actions in the physical world because this isn't about the physical, and there is no one and nothing to change but self. I don't mean to ignore your responsibilities or obligations, I mean to not view them as confirmation of anything. If you are manifesting Blue hair and you look in the mirror and your hair is black, continue throughout your day as if nothing happened. You don't need to affirm the opposite or try to logicize why your hair is still Black when you're manifesting it to be blue, You don't need to tell yourself, "My inner man has blue hair" or "My hair is blue in imagination" continue to live as you’ve always done and just remain faithful to the imagination.

The second rule would be to personify consciousness, decide what you want, and personify it. Yes, this applies even if you have multiple desires as mythological Gods often presided over multiple domains—you can create your own personification or become aware of being one that already exists, For example; I want to manifest Talent and health—I might become conscious of being Apollo, as he’s the personification of such things. I might create my own personification; (y/n), personification of talent and health. Either way, I am conscious of being that which I formerly desired, and it doesn't have to be a Greek God either! I want to manifest beauty—I become conscious of being Narcissus, I conceptualize and experience; I fall in love with a reflection of myself in a lake and I am simply enamored with my own beauty, I feel it, and therefore I am.

Third, trust in self, always. Do not question if you're doing something right or continuously start over and try to perfect the technique, You don't need to meticulously plan anything either. The goal is feeling and if you feel anything then you're doing it right.

but I feel I don't let my old story die because there are certain situations I'm attached to in the old story.

I also feel like I let the 3d get the best of me

the only time I visit the state is in the morning when I wake up and a few hours before I go to sleep. I completely forget even though I want to return to it more often

BUT

how do I assume when I'm feeling negative? like ik emotions don't manifest but it's okay ti feel upset and still accept your new story as true right?

now it feels stupid typing this out because I just clarified everything I think 😭

Feeling upset or negative doesn’t stop you from manifesting. Emotions are fleeting; they don’t have the power to override the truth of your assumption unless you let them. You’re allowed to feel upset, frustrated, or even doubtful in the moment, as long as you return to your knowing. The new story you’ve created in your consciousness is what manifests, not the fleeting emotions you experience.Think of it like this: You might have stormy weather, but beneath it, the foundation of your house remains solid. Your assumption—that you already have your desire—is that foundation. Even if you feel the winds of doubt or frustration, they can’t destroy what you’ve built in your mind.

When you feel negative, remind yourself:

It’s okay to feel this way—but feelings don’t change the fact that my wish is fulfilled.

I don’t need to fight these feelings. Let them pass like clouds in the sky.

My state of consciousness is the truth, not my fleeting emotions.

You can even say to yourself in those moments:

• “It’s done, no matter how I feel right now.”

• “I already have it—it doesn’t matter what my emotions are saying.”

• “I am the operant power; my world is already shifting.”

After an approximately 3-month-long hiatus, I have decided to return—I recently collaborated with @gorgeouslypink for a Christmas-themed Law Of Assumption challenge that I think you all should check out! Anyways, here is another Law Of Assumption guide inspired by Greek Mythology. I hope you all enjoy it!

Self is the center of creation and the most integral part of being. There is nothing without self as man is unable to perceive anything outside of his consciousness. Despite this fact—many individuals continue to prioritize the physical elements of manifestation and completely disregard anything to do with imagination and the self. That is setting yourself up for failure as manifestation is not about the physical.

The Death of Narcissus

The Law Of Assumption

Nothing and no one to change but self

The Death of Narcissus

When Narcissus came to a pool in Thespiae to drink from its water, the youth saw his own reflection in the pool and fell in love with it. Narcissus was unable to obtain the object that he had fallen in love with, just as so many suitors of Narcissus had been rejected.

Narcissus would die of sorrow by the pool, despite the pleadings of the Naiads and Dryads who had observed Narcissus wasting away.

A funeral pyre was built for Narcissus by the nymphs, but when they came to place the body of the handsome youth upon it, they could not find it, as all that was left was a flower, the Narcissus flower.

The Law Of Assumption

The Law of Assumption is based on the notion that the world around us is a reflection of our assumptions—what we are aware to be true about ourselves and the world around us. Neville Goddard States that, "Man is incapable of seeing outside the contents of his own consciousness. If I now become detached in consciousness from this room by turning my attention from it, then, I am no longer conscious of it. It can only live within my objective reality If I keep it alive within my consciousness." — inspired by @sexyandhedonistic

The reflection in the clear spring would represent the world around us, and Narcissus would represent consciousness or self. Narcissus (self) was being reflected in the clear spring. Narcissus (self) was overcome with desire when he saw the reflection of himself—he desired himself and spent his life trying to capture his reflection. He failed, why did he fail? Narcissus failed because he never realized that it was himself being reflected in the clear waters of the spring. He wasn't aware of the fact that he was already that which he desired and so he stared aimlessly into the spring—desiring something that seemed so close yet so far, never realizing that all he needed to do was recognize the reflection of himself in the spring.

Narcissus (self) should've turned his attention away from the reflection in the water and looked inward to realize that it was merely a reflection of self.

No one and nothing to change but self

Narcissus was overcome with desire when he caught a glimpse of himself in the clear spring waters of Thespiae. Narcissus attempted to obtain the object of his desire, he reached into the natural mirror and attempted to grasp the reflection of himself—only to fail, as the reflection would escape him every time he attempted to obtain it. Narcissus would stop trying to capture his reflection eventually and live on in despair and desire as an onlooker—Narcissus died without ever having obtained his desire and became a beautiful Narcissus flower.

It's a beautiful but tragic myth—I see the story of Narcissus repeating itself many times in the manifestation community. Narcissus lived in desire and died in desire; he chased after his reflection and spent his life making futile attempts to catch it, never realizing that he was that which he desired. He was trying to obtain himself—as the water merely reflected his being and had he realized that he would've still been alive. Narcissus need only become aware of the fact that the reflection in the water was himself. He need only turn his gaze inward and he would've experienced fulfillment of his desire to have himself.

Redirection is not always necessary but I find it helpful when you're in the process of shifting your state. It's easy and stress-free, and if you do it enough you’ll find that conscious redirection will no longer be necessary as your inner man will start to instantaneously redirect any contradictory thoughts without conscious interference, which is the objective.

Before I continue—I will explain the concept of redirection to those who are unaware. Redirection is the practice of being consciously aware of intrusive thoughts, distressing feelings, and unfavorable assumptions. When you are aware of the thoughts occupying your mind space you’ll have the ability to shift these thoughts and focus on more desirable things. Intrusive thoughts, distressing feelings, and unfavorable assumptions can have a myriad of unwanted ramifications which is why we practice the art of redirection.

How to redirect:

Awareness: Recognize when your thoughts are running amok, and straying away from your desired state. This could be fear, doubt, or assumptions contradicting the wish fulfilled.

Interrupt: Pause. Take a deep breath, and slow your mind. Acknowledge these thoughts without judgement. These thoughts are merely telling you who you are.

Replace: Shift your focus to more desirable thoughts and beliefs. For example: replace “I can’t do this” with “I am capable and confident” replace “This is taking too long” with “It’s already mine in perfect timing.”
