All That You Behold
You do not have to have a proper educational or social background to apply this principle; and you cannot fail, for an assumption, though false, if persisted in will harden into fact.
This is a fundamental law of consciousness: any assumption, regardless of its current factual basis, will inevitably manifest as a physical reality if it is persistently maintained in imagination.
Consciousness Is The Only Reality
Man, by assuming the feeling of his wish fulfilled, alters his future in harmony with his assumption, for, assumptions though false, if sustained, will harden into fact.
By consciously adopting the feeling of a desired state as already fulfilled, man directs his future. Even if the assumption initially contradicts sensory evidence, persistent maintenance of this feeling will cause it to manifest as objective reality.

Live In The End
I should actually know exactly what I would like to be, and, discovering what I would like to be against what I seem to be, dare to assume that I am it! And my assumption, though false, if persisted in, would harden into fact. That I know from my own experience, and I know it’s a law, therefore, if someone is not becoming the man that he would like to be, and they tell me, “Well, I once imagined it and it didn’t work,” then what are you doing now and still not imagining it?
This is a fundamental law: persistently maintaining an assumption, even if it contradicts current sensory evidence, will inevitably lead to its manifestation as objective reality.
Order Your Conversations Aright
Knowing this principle, it doesn’t really matter if what appears now to be a lie – you know, an assumption, though false, if persisted in will harden into fact. So, now you are going to put that principle into operation. I will take an assumption. I will assume that things are, as I want them to be. Now I will carry on a conversation based upon that assumption, and that controlled inner conversation will be possibly my greatest success – my greatest conversation ever – far, far greater than the conversations that we hold at a dinner party.
The principle states that any assumption, even if it seems untrue in the present, will manifest as a physical fact if one persists in it. This is achieved by maintaining inner conversations consistent with the assumed reality.

Persistent Assumption
for an assumption, though false, if persisted in will harden into fact. As William Blake said: "If the fool will persist in his folly he will become wise."
Neville teaches that any assumption, even if initially contrary to sensory evidence, will solidify into objective reality if consistently maintained. He uses William Blake's quote to illustrate the power of persistence in shaping one's reality.
The Artist Is God
An assumption, though false, if persisted in will harden into fact.
Neville quotes Sir Anthony Eden to convey a fundamental law: any assumption, regardless of its current factual basis, will inevitably manifest as objective reality if consistently maintained and believed.
How To Manifest Your Desires
Man, by assuming the feeling of his wish fulfilled, alters his future in harmony with his assumption, for, assumptions though false, if sustained, will harden into fact. The undisciplined mind finds it difficult to assume a state which is denied by the senses. But the ancient teachers discovered that sleep, or a state akin to sleep, aided man in making his assumption.
The core principle of manifestation: by assuming the feeling of a wish fulfilled, even if it contradicts sensory evidence, and sustaining that assumption, it will inevitably manifest as a physical fact. A state akin to sleep facilitates this process.
