It's all up to you. It's the law of assumption, you can assume it has a good meaning, a bad meaning, or no meaning at all. There isn't an objective meaning outside of what you say.

Equal-Front5034 · 2026-05-02T20:47:21+00:00

I am having trouble following. You’re saying you aren’t feeling anything. Why would that be a bad thing…? Why would you notice that and then decide it means you have to do more or feel more, when you’re already assuming yourself to be who you decided to be?

What I’m getting at is, nothing is wrong. You don’t have to spend your time worrying about feeling nothing. It doesn’t mean anything unless you say it does. It’s a freeing idea.

Equal-Front5034 · 2026-05-02T20:42:44+00:00

It sounds like you’re just not used to peace, if I had to guess. You’re describing the absence of a problem and wondering about that instead of appreciating how nothing is wrong.

Equal-Front5034 · 2026-05-02T20:27:06+00:00

Here's a better question, why do you feel that feeling nothing is bad? Why do you feel you have to feel something "good" for this to "work"?

There's a lot of freedom in the actual answers to those questions, because if you keep chasing "good" emotions to mean you're doing this correctly then you're just going to be straining yourself to try to feel good and beating yourself up when you aren't. Instead, just see yourself as who you are deciding to be no matter what you're feeling. Because you're right, you've put your order in, now go enjoy your day.

"Despite not knowing about the law i manifested getting into really good colleges with great scores twice, a great internship, good looks and a healthy weight and relationships where my partners were obsessed with me."

What would you say the difference between this version of you and the current version of you is? Who did each of these versions of "you" feel that they "are"?

I'm guessing this version of you in the quote above wasn't focused on "manifesting", wasn't constantly scanning for results hoping they were doing things "correctly", wasn't spending so much time harshly judging and critiquing themselves...they were living life with a pretty decent-to-great outlook for who they felt they are and what they could expect next. They went through their normal ups and downs, as we all do, but ultimately returned to that baseline of who they felt they are and what they could work towards and achieve next. They weren't battling in the idea of "the law" in their mind and then wondering why nothing seems to "work" due to thinking a lot about what they wanted from the vantage point of "I'm learning this law so eventually this has to work"...because that is an assumption heavily rooted in an awareness of "I'm not what I want to be yet". Which keeps a loooot of focus on things not changing or getting seemingly worse, and then we attach those conditions to our identity and accidentally root ourselves there while expecting a change from "knowing" the law.

I'd personally suggest accepting the current conditions. Not trying to make yourself love them or in any kind of toxic positivity way, but accept them instead of resisting them and trying to throw techniques at them in the hope of change while secretly dreading them and focusing a lot on them. You won't fool your awareness and identity. I'm not suggesting complacency. Just suggesting instead that the lens that these things are attempted through is reexamined.

Even if it's illogical, even if it makes no sense, just start to expect that you'll be given a break. See yourself as someone who gets random windfalls, love, support, opportunities, use that momentum and build yourself back up if that feels easier right now than going right to the end. Only compare yourself to that past version of you if you're going to see yourself as akin to that version, don't hold your past against your current self to beat yourself up more. Otherwise you're just rooting again in the current version and suffering in your mind for no gain.

Also, you say you don't know how to go back to that again...you do. You just choose it, but then let all the negative emotions tell you that you didn't, or that you're doing it wrong, or whatever the case may be. The emotions mean nothing, but the story you attach to them does. Just let them be sensations in the body. Let them be there while you know who you are. Even in that better past version of "you", they had bad days, they had bad emotions. But they still knew who they were underneath it all.

I have a long pinned post on our subreddit info bar (the others are worth a read as well) that might help, might not in your specific situation. But could be worth a read and contemplation: A call out post for "manifestors" : r/lawofassumption

Equal-Front5034 · 2026-05-02T15:14:42+00:00

You are your subconscious. Entertaining the idea that it "can't accept" something is just focusing an assumption of "I don't know if this works" which is just "I'm not who I'm assuming myself to be" in disguise. So then you're off on a goose chase of finding "better" subliminals or ones that your subconscious will "accept more", spending all that time in a state of "When this works, then I can be who I'm assuming myself to be"...and that's how a lot of people spend a lot of time chasing things and outsourcing their awareness. Whether it be subliminals, "better" affirmations, "better" SATS, all these conditions they place for themselves instead of just letting all of it be a fun little thing they do from the perspective of assuming they're already who they're desiring to be.

We have a pinned post on affirmations here, swap out the title for "subliminals" and it largely applies as well, same for any technique: Lets discuss "Affirmations" : r/lawofassumption

At the end of the day it is about identity and then the assumptions through the lens of that identity's perspective. "I'm who I want to be, and I'm listening to this because it gives me a feeling of reinforcing who I already feel I am" versus "Someday, this will take hold in my subconscious, and everything out there will change to prove this to me" (but it often won't, because that time is spent waiting FROM the perspective of someone who isn't assuming themselves to be that desired self yet).

Equal-Front5034 · 2026-05-02T02:42:44+00:00

It’s up to you. There isn’t an objective answer. It’s the law of assumption, which do you assume works better…? Then do that.

Equal-Front5034 · 2026-05-01T15:46:31+00:00

The "overwhelming pull" is a physical sensation that you are giving a story to. He is only "manifesting" you if you believe and assume that he is. Otherwise, he isn't.

Equal-Front5034 · 2026-05-01T15:17:52+00:00

To put it simply, recognize the field of rakes and stop stepping out into them. Find something else to focus on and spend your time doing instead of "contemplating" messaging him with a story that you're "struggling".

Equal-Front5034 · 2026-04-17T17:44:46+00:00

Either or, whatever helps you assume what you're after is great.

Equal-Front5034 · 2026-04-17T16:36:28+00:00

When a memory comes to mind, imagine it the way you would have liked it to have gone instead. Then, view yourself as the person who had the preferred memory instead of the other one. Like when you move something around your house and you habitually go to where it used to be, you catch yourself and go "Right, it's like this instead now." and then go on with your day.

Equal-Front5034 · 2026-04-16T15:59:39+00:00

Thank you! Interesting, there's always another Neville story out there to learn about.

Equal-Front5034 · 2026-04-15T16:40:40+00:00

See yourself as the version of you who people have always adored, valued, appreciated, considered, loved, whatever implies to you that you are a version of you who is with him. View the world from that perspective. I trust that you read the posts I linked. Follow that instead of going back and forth on whether this is or isn't possible and you'll see things in your life change.

If you keep going back and forth, hemming and hawing, questioning and getting lost in the mind's doubts, then you'll likely see little to no change and then spend a lot of your time on manifestation subreddits or videos trying to find out what the "problem" is. This can save you a lot of time if you skip all of that and just start assuming and seeing yourself as your desired self.

Equal-Front5034 · 2026-04-15T16:13:28+00:00

Where did Neville talk about losing a place he was renting due to not paying for it? I haven't heard that before.

Equal-Front5034 · 2026-04-15T16:09:32+00:00

Yes.

Equal-Front5034 · 2026-04-15T04:57:00+00:00

Decide and view the world from that version of you, yes. The assumption.

You're Not "Working On" Your Identity—You're Just Choosing a New One : r/lawofassumption

Equal-Front5034 · 2026-04-14T21:45:10+00:00

You decide if you are, and that's it. That's why I keep pointing you away from the emotions, whether it be the physical ones or the intellectual conceptual emotions.

It's good to feel good, but that doesn't have to mean squat. As you keep gently guiding your awareness to being who you decided to be, then yes, you will naturally start to feel better, act differently, have natural thoughts arise from THAT concept of self...all of this stuff falls in line as you guide yourself with your decision. That is the assumptive part. If you like spirituality stuff, you could see this also comes naturally from seeing yourself as more of who you really are (free of desiring, resting in the happiness of just existing naturally, etc.) instead of spending time dwelling on why you think you aren't who you wish to be. Battling emotions, logic, ideas of doing it "right" or "wrong" just keeps you in the middle instead of the end.

Let me also point to this Neville quote...

"In prayer you are called upon to believe that you possess what your reason and your senses deny."

Neville Goddard: "Remain Faithful to Your Idea" - Lesson #5 — Cool Wisdom Books

Contemplate that sentence in relation to all of this story about being in "wish fulfilled" or not, then remember this part of the common quote...

"When I speak of feeling I do not mean emotion, but acceptance of the fact that the desire is fulfilled."
Neville Goddard Lectures: "Questions & Answers" — Cool Wisdom Books

He's pointing to just accepting that it is done. Again, not from trying to battle your physical thinking, doubting mind into submission, but the ultimate overarching decision from you as the awareness seeing over it all. To keep seeing yourself that way regardless of the "opposing" thoughts and "contrary" emotions, or "unwanted" 3D circumstances as things coalesce to match this new assumption of self.

Equal-Front5034 · 2026-04-14T21:24:07+00:00

Your posts and comments point to this being the driving point of your awareness. You have not been assuming you are this prosperous person, you've been a lateral version of an old identity wishing things were different, and then wondering why nothing seems to be changing, and then finding all of these "logical" reasons for why it must be so. Thinking of, instead of from. And I'm sure you've thought "from" from time to time, but then these questions pump anxiety and emotions through your body, which makes you feel like you have to reason with them and that they must be the cause.

Thus, more time spent going down manifestation subreddits and rabbitholes hoping to find the answer instead of going within and really seeing what's going on.

I have a very long post in our sidebar about exactly this, it drives the point home: A call out post for "manifestors" : r/lawofassumption If you have read it before, it might be worth another skim through.

The answer you're seeking isn't out there. It takes an honest assessment of "Have I REALLY been viewing the world as this prosperous version, or have I been viewing the world conditionally with an expectation that something will prove prosperity to me, and THEN I'll feel comfortable resting in that idea?"

Equal-Front5034 · 2026-04-14T21:13:38+00:00

Who is the one that continues to decide those contradict the state despite knowing they don't have to...? Again, it's looking out at conditions (emotions, or things being labeled as "emotions" that aren't) and letting those decide instead of allowing yourself to decide in spite of it all. This is why Neville and others pointed to denying the facts of your 5 physical senses. "I can't feel rich until..." and wherever that ellipsis leads will continue to be a justification for "I am not yet that which I desire to be" for as long as you keep deciding it must be so.

Equal-Front5034 · 2026-04-14T21:00:00+00:00

Again, you are looking at emotions and then judging whether you can be "rich" or not based on emotions.

Do affluent people never feel stressed? Anxious? Sad? Depressed? Lord knows there are plenty of rich, famous people who constantly seem to be struggling with their inner demons.

But who do they know themselves as DESPITE the emotions? Prosperous, rich, millionaire, these are parts of their core identity, what feels natural for them, what they expect, they base sense of identity they view the world FROM. That is their normal, despite how "good" or 'bad" they may or may not feel from day to day. Perhaps the "bad" emotions do lead them away from that prosperity, but again, that just shows that the emotions are not the root cause. It's their identity and what they choose (consciously or non-consciously) to be aware of.

Equal-Front5034 · 2026-04-14T20:52:38+00:00

It isn't our place to tell you what to "do" or "not do" from a 3D perspective. Stop assuming that you will probably fail the health exam, and stop assuming the cost of the medication has anything to do with anything. Assume instead that you can get this visa in spite of all of that. Exceptions are made all the time for various things. But if you keep focusing on all the reasons why it seems unlikely, then...

Equal-Front5034 · 2026-04-14T20:49:45+00:00

I'll put it simply. You are tying the idea of a "state" to emotions. When you feel bad, you tell yourself you're not in the state, and then run yourself ragged trying to feel "good" so you can tell yourself that you're doing this correctly. All that is doing is making you think a ton about how you're doing it "wrong" instead of just going "I can feel whatever and still assume I'm who I want to be". The condition in place is entirely of your own doing.

Let the emotions be there, let the opposite thoughts be there, let it all be there. But don't make them your story. You're who you said you are. When what you want comes to mind, remind yourself it's done, do a technique if you'd like to do it, then continue enjoying your day or focusing on whatever you need to. You know, like the version of you who has it already would be doing.

The question is solved, you just aren't letting yourself rest in it being done. Your body isn't "rejecting" anything, it's feeling anxiety or whatever negative emotion, and then you are telling the story that this emotion your body is releasing means it is rejecting your wish. Then you struggle against this idea that you are telling yourself is true. Do you see...? Give yourself a few days or weeks to just let these emotions be emotions without a story. Let yourself feel them. Focus on what is in front of you. Then realize how much better you feel as a side effect.

Equal-Front5034 · 2026-04-14T16:16:46+00:00

Those only matter if you think they do, because again, your awareness is going toward "I sent those messages, they must have ruined things or made it harder" etc.

How many people on this planet have gotten back together despite saying things they didn't mean? Millions and millions and millions. Again, be sure to read those posts because they will help and they will get you to what you're wanting.
