what if you got quiet. what if you got so quiet and you curled up in a little ball in your bed with a stuffed animal or a blanket or a pillow and you said, “god, can we talk?” and because god is you and you are god you didn’t have to wait and you didn’t have to go anywhere at all and—“yes,” god said. and you said, “god, i want an apartment with floor-to-ceiling windows overlooking the city.” “god, i want the boy with the kind eyes and tattoo-covered arms and exquisite taste in music.” “god, i want to feel alive again.” “god, i want to travel first-class to switzerland.” “god, i want a hound dog named finn.” and god said, “yes.” and you said, “but how can you make this happen?” and god said, “i can make anything happen.” and you said, “quickly?” and god said, “i love you. why would i not make this rapid?” and you said, “i can trust you?” and god said, “like your life depends on it.” and you said, “my life does depend on it.” and god said, “i know. i’ve got it now. you’re safe. let me take care of it.” and you hugged god. and god hugged you. and you hugged yourself. and you drifted off to sleep saying, “i have it. i’m safe. i have it. i’m safe. i have it. i’m—” and you woke in the morning and the world was new. because you knew it was done. because god said yes. and god never goes back on a yes unless you tell god “no.” and any time throughout the day you thought, “is anything happening?” god said, “it’s all happening.” and you said, “but i can’t see a thing.” and god said, “i am your eyes.” and you said, “but i don’t have to do anything?” and god said, “you did the only thing needed.” and you said, “but what about my thoughts and my state and acting as if?” and god said, “i love you.” and you knew what that meant. so instead of worrying or wondering or obsessing another second, you went to the bakery and bought a slice of chocolate cake and drove home and sat on your back deck and ate and ate and watched the sunset and celebrated.
isn’t it so comforting to know that your desires are promised? like, it’s literally the law. everything you have ever wanted is real and all yours to have, i just think it’s so comforting. no need for any worries, or fear, because everything you want is all that you will experience. i love it.
you don’t even have to be in the law of assumption community to know the term “affirm and persist” it’s plastered everywhere. we see it all the time, we see blogs repeat that term in different wordings but ultimately the same meaning.
i think there can be good that comes out of term- it’s simple & straightforward.
but i personally believe there’s can be more cons than pros with affirm and persist not so much the term itself but how we approach it. its a term that can’t relate to everybody. we have to be mindful that we are different bodies, different minds, different stories. we can’t all relate and understand the term of affirming and persisting.
im saying this out of personal experience and what anons that speak to me.
“i’ve been affirming & persisting and nothing is happening”
- i relate to this very very much. it’s mostly because we affirm out of LACK. when you affirm are you doing it because you’re acknowledging what you want is yours? or are you affirming because you believe there is something to achieve? are you affirming because you “have to” or are you affirming because you’re being gentle with yourself and affirming as you please. state of lack or state of fulfilment?
when you persist- are you still putting focus on the 3D? are you still conscious of time? do you measure your success by time or by how you feel within yourself?
when you persist do you feel tiresome, drained?i know when i persisted with my affirmations in the state of lack i would get headaches, i would feel like total crap. would a person who had their desires feel like this? the answer is no
you know you’re persisting amazingly when you feel calm about your desires, when you don’t even care about time. when you feel nice within. its a pleasant feeling.
“I’m in a terrible circumstance and i don’t know what to do, i feel hopeless”
i’m not gonna tell you to ignore your circumstances because let me tell you this- some circumstances are so terrible and completely draining that you can’t even ignore it. especially when you have to face your circumstance every single day.
when i was in unpleasant circumstances i took it as something that will soon go away, i didn’t question how it will go away. i didn’t worry if it will or if it wont. i decided that it will soon go away, so whenever i found myself in a circumstance i particularly didn’t like- i felt it as neutral.
another thing that helped me was meditating and journaling. i meditated for 5-10mins whenever i had free time, sometimes it was guided meditations sometimes it was listening to my favourite songs that me feel at peace. during this time i just let myself BE
i wasn’t worrying about doing the meditations right, i wasn’t worried about affirmations i was just BEING.
journalling helps me get out all my thoughts that make me feel unsafe, uncomfortable etc because sometimes my mind becomes a cluster of mixed emotions & thoughts that make my mind hurt so i would journal and i wouldn’t hold anything back, i wouldn’t perfect my journaling i would literally flood my pages with whatever i was feeling.
it did make me feel more relaxed, more like my mind was empty. i wouldn’t have any thoughts after it was like my mind has been squeaked clean.
i won’t lie to you guys and say it was the most easiest thing ever, it was not. well it definitely wasn’t at the start; it is a jump from my old mindset.
but when i consisted and made it a habit i noticed changes- subtle changes. i used to easily react and throw tantrums and then judge myself 10mins after for reacting, now i do not judge myself.
in general— we must be mindful of those who are struggling, lets not demonise them and tell them to get up and affirm & persist. allow yourself to just be sometimes, without judgment lingering in
reminders: everything is self so you are the only source of power. there is no such thing as “negative” or “circumstances” because that is assigning meaning to things. everything is neutral. self can occupy any state of all the infinite states that exist. there is no one or no thing holding you back, making things harder. it is only you making it seem harder. change self, change who you are being in imagination, change the version of you you are being, and everything else follows. the neutral 3d is only self expressed, thats proof that self (you) is the only thing in your way and the only thing you will ever need.
“when man finally identifies himself with his imagination rather than his senses, he has at long last discovered the core of reality.”

Omg it clicked for me , so try to be instead of have in order to manifest . The goal is being the person with clear skin instead trying to have clear skin for example !!
EXACTLY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
you're not trying or waiting. you're BEING it NOW. you must BE it within first and then you be it in the outer world.
you BE it in imagination and then your body follows.
I will come again and receive you to myself, that where I am, there you(body) may be also -john 14:6
this is you(inner self/consciousness) speaking to your body(outer self)!!
this is why techniques don't matter. techniques are only there to help you BE it. to BE in the state of consciousness of BEING it. and you be it by assuming you are it so it's like assuming x being yk???
you can be it in imagination(consciousness) because creation is finished and that version of you already exists. you simply BE that version of yourself.
it's really simple when you understand it. you don't have to be it in the 3d. it's okay if the 3d is overwhelming because it's not about changing the 3d. it's about BEING it in consciousness(imagination) ONLY.
I remember my only goal is to BECOME the one I want to be IN IMAGINATION ONLY. So I think about something I want to be, anything. Then I assume I AM that IN IMAGINATION, and in Imagination I can be all things -ed art
you fulfill your desires in imagination by BEING the person who has it already. it's okay if you're not that person in the 3d yet. you identify yourself with imagination/consciousness. you really already are it. abdullah was right when he said "you're already in Barbados"
this is why neville's book at your command is my favorite because that book really focuses on being conscious of being it.
Praying, as we have shown you before, is recognition – the injunction to believe that ye receive in first person, present tense. This means that you must BE in the nature of the things asked for before you can receive them -neville
what can you not be in imagination? in this infinite plane of existence? ask yourself that and dare to be it by daring to assume that you are it. continue being that person within yourself as a present fact regardless of the senses. your body will catch up.
hey heraa, i would REALLYYY appreciate if you helped me out on this one question that has been killing me rn (it’s in bold on the bottom just incase u want to skip the tangent)
honestly, if i succeed in fulfilling myself that you replied, it'll raise my faith a little bit when/if I see that you replied.
I've been on this journey for the longest time I'm talking divineangelbee, planet, cine, bibi, dreamgrlsworld, daphne, the void obsession, the alpha waves, the mindless or just feeling while affirming, the self and void concept challenges for 2 weeks, and now applying states after edward art and neville and having things click with aphroditeapprentice and blushydior etc ; applying for months. But guess what idk what is happening and what's holding me back!
i know that if i was in the state, I obviously wouldn't be sending this message but since it doesn't matter what I do in the 3D and my human self wants to ask for help, I will ask for guidance.
I've even fulfilling myself, returning to the wish fulfilled whenever I think of my desire, I prioritize the inner man over getting physical results but you know, if someone was doing it right, it would reflected by now right? of course it would because it's the law.
I don't why it hasn't done so yet and l'm slowly and at the same time very quickly losing my faith because it's been like what, 2/3 years since I found out about the law from tumblr? I KNOW I'm meant to be living my dream life in a little cottage in Europe or big mansion in LA, I KNOW I was meant to succeed and live a life of my dreams because I deal with hard things in my life, I AM! MEANT TO SUCCEED. but what am I doing wrong if it's been months of fulfilling myself that it should've been my dominant state already? I feel good and every time I doubt, I know and tell myself that I ALREADY experience my desire in imagination and it HAS to reflect?
thank you, if you answer this I really would appreciate it :)
I'm going to try my best to answer this without further confusing you so sit tight and in the case that I do bring forward any confusion, do let me know.
In a nutshell, the point of manifesting (or moreso the purpose of life itself) is to appease hunger. That is, to free yourself from the feeling of desire (wanting something) by giving it to yourself whether it's money, the mansion, the dream life, appearance, I could go on and on because whatever you want to acquire is possible of being acquired (because imagination is limitless). If you know the law, you know imagination creates reality so imagination will always be your workshop and that is essentially how you change self (I AM).
Imagination isn't separate from reality because imagination is reality itself. Man's greatest downfall has been to separate the two as completely independent when that could not be further from the truth. When you turn to imagination and you use it to think about what it would feel like to have the face card and the mansion and the dream life, you are present in that moment to the point where it feels like a real experience. If you allow yourself to bask in the feeling of the wish fulfilled, it's as real of an experience as you reading this very post. Neville has previously discussed procuring the wish fulfilled in a way as if you are traveling through time to the end and witnessing the outcome firsthand, then you make your way back to the present and trust that it will unfold as you experienced. It's like when you watch a film you've previously watched and you already know what the ending is, you don't stop to think what could happen, you already know what will because you saw it yourself.
If time is a relevant concern for you and you're looking around to see if it's there, I'm afraid to say you haven't fully yielded to it. You simply thought of it and not from it. If you experienced it and knew that it was done, you would be appeased from hunger and you wouldn't desire it anymore. How could you want something you already have? Time is an obstacle that is standing in between you and the state of consciousness that asserts you as being someone who has the desire in question already in their possession. When you nail yourself to that state and I mean you fully yield yourself to it to the point where you don't feel separate from it anymore, the feeling of desire will vanish. You don't care about time, you don't care about the senses, nothing moves you. Why would it if you know it's yours? (Hint: this is the Sabbath)
I constantly receive so, so many "I did all of this, why hasn't it happened?" questions and I believe you when you say you really gave it your entire heart, but you should sit and ask yourself genuinely if you actually focused more on the thing itself versus quenching the desire you have for it.
I'm here once again to swear by the State Akin To Sleep and why I love it so much. I won't repeat the process since I went into it quite extensively so I highly suggest you read the post.
“Whatsoever you desire, when you pray, believe that you have received it, and you will.”
When I started understanding the SATS through the idea of it as "praying", it made so much more sense to me. You're not visualizing to get, you're visualizing to feel its reality so desire vanishes. If you use imagination to feel its reality (believe that you have received it), the 3D will follow and it shall materialize. This is one of the reasons why I love the state akin to sleep so much. It's such a simple and easy way to define the end and identify yourself with it.
When I use the SATS, I let myself sit with the wish fulfilled by thinking of what the end would look like, what would I hear, who would I be with, what would I see, etc. and I focus on it until I'm consumed by the feeling and acceptance of it and then bring myself back. I trust that my prayer has been answered because I felt the reality of it, so that must mean it's already mine. If for some reason I would feel doubtful or separate from that state of consciousness, I would simply induce the state again and focus on its reality. Do this as many times as you need to until you no longer feel compelled to because you're certain that your prayer has been heard (See: the Sabbath).
I highly encourage you to assess how you're going about manifesting and to use the State Akin To Sleep to catch the mood so you can nail yourself to it. You said it best yourself, you were meant to succeed and live the life of your dreams. Remember that failure is only an option if you let it be one. Don't give up, my love <3
How do I give my desire’s to myself in my imagination i have a hard time with this I always feel like I have to imagine a scene in my head and I always look at the 3D for results.
you're conditioning your desire. you're saying "i must have a perfect scene and feeling and this and that in order to accept my desire" it's more about accepting/assuming your desire and scenes come on their own.
imagining≠visualizing. perfect visualization scenes imo should come to you naturally.
you feel like you have to do something. there are no have to's, only want to's. what do you want to do in imagination where all things exist and you don't need anyone's permission to be anything? do it now.
the reason you look for results in the 3d is because you're not fulfilled within. so you want something on the outside to fulfill you within. prioritize fulfilling yourself within and you will no longer feel the urge to check the 3d.
i saw this comment somewhere on ng reddit I think, and I believe this may help you: The only reason one would struggle with satisfying a desire in the mind is because you're trying to DO something or CHANGE something. All you're actually doing is giving yourself something you want in IMAGINATION. You can imagine anything you want in there. Has there ever been a time where you imagined telling someone off in your imagination? Did it feel good to you to do so? It's the same principle...just applying it to something you want. When you really feel like you've imagined something without actually trying to CHANGE something then you will feel satisfied
Long Post Ahead
The 4D is the only real reality. The law isn’t hard at all and it’s so insane how it took me about 8 months to understand this this simple rule and to put the pieces together.
If the 4D is the only real reality, and we can see anything we want in our minds eye then that makes anything possible. For then if the 4D is the only real reality then there is no “creating” no “trying” nor “manifesting”. For creation is ALWAYS finished no matter what!
It boggles my mind how this simple concept just sat under my nose for the past 8 months. I’ve been “trying” to manifest and affirm happy good thoughts 24/7 and get into SATS before I sleep and blah blah blah but—
EVERYTHING starts and ends in imagination something that is within us, something that *IS* us.
Also i’ve noticed why a lot of people fail when manifesting is not because they don’t believe in the law but simply because they don’t believe in themselves!
“Man's Faith in God is Measured by His Confidence in Himself” — Neville Goddard
Also the law is always operating, so there’s no such thing as a “failed” manifestation. People seek validation from their 3D reality not knowing (or sometimes knowing) that their 4D is the one and ONLY reality that does the creating
It goes 4D > 3D, not the other way around. Your 3D, those doubts, fears, etc will never have power over you unless you give them that power 🤷🏾♀️😵
There’s deadass not a time where you are NEVER creating, manifesting doesn’t stop it’s constant, it’s the way of life. So you can use it however you want the choice is really yours.
Also i’ve seen people struggle with being jealous or insecure (i use these words lightly) of people living their dream lives or having something that they want to manifest/have…erm this is literally YOUR reality not there’s 😵 the same god that’s within them is the same god that’s within YOU! [God = Imagination, Remember everything is created in imagination from beauty to wealth to health…all of it]
Quite literally there is no competition nor do those people hold any power over you! If you do find yourself in this situation then it’s best that you work on your self concept because—
1. you’re subconsciously putting people on a pedestal
2. you’re subconsciously putting the things you *want* on a pedestal
Quite literally nothing is out of reach and you don’t have to do 50 million methods to manifest one pruny thing…because you are the god of your reality so you need to fucking act like it 🐶
Lastly if you need a success story for every single thing that you’re manifesting or you think that some people on here are lying then you need to work on your self concept as well 😊
[ HYPOTHETICALLY SPEAKING, if these people WERE lying then that would NOT take away from your own power to manifest that exact same thing. For quite literally anything is possible so why would you care if they are lying or not 😵💫🤷🏾♀️]
Anyways love or hate the law but she’s always operating (queenie) which is why it’s good to build up your self belief and confidence when working on self concept. That’s all! Goodbye :3
i highly suggest everyone reading this. this is so true
I tell you: you can be anything you want to be, but when you voice your request, your desire must be genuine. you must so want it that you are willing to remain faithful to your change in position. you cannot assume you have your desire for one little moment and then return to your former state, for if you do you are a double-minded man and will not receive anything. If you want to be successful in business, you can. I don't care how many creditors you owe, or what the bank says you have; if you assume success and persist in that assumption you cannot fail. this is the law by which everyone lives.
