An Assured Understanding

To manifest a desire, one must consciously assume the feeling and state of having already achieved it, particularly by falling asleep in the feeling of the wish fulfilled, which then draws the desired reality into experience.

But until that day, apply the law towards any desire of your heart by assuming you have it. Sleep as though it were true and it will be drawn to you. Keep on applying the law towards these many ends until the Christ-seed bursts into bloom.

This is the practical application of the Law of Assumption, a method to bring desires into reality by embodying the state of their fulfillment, which also serves as a preparatory practice until the Christ-seed fully blossoms within.

Follow The Pattern

Dare to assume the state of your fulfilled desire, even if your reason and senses deny it. Persist in this assumption until you are self-persuaded of its truth, and the outer world will conform to this inner belief.

Exercise this art by daring to assume you are what your reason and senses deny you. Persist, and to the degree you are self-persuaded of its truth, the outer world will change, for it is forever conforming to the belief housed within you.

No Other Gods

To manifest a desire, one must assume the feeling of the wish fulfilled, believing that they have already received it. This involves ignoring the current facts of the senses and remaining faithful to the assumption until it hardens into physical reality.

“Whatever ye desire, when you pray, believe that you have received it, and you will” (Mark 11:24). He does not say it’s good for you or it’s bad for you. It’s entirely up to man to make the choice. Do I know what I want? Well, if I know what I want and I believe this and trust wholly in God as my own wonderful human imagination, then I should change my outer world to conform to my imaginal activity; so Israel’s delivery from Egypt, from the house of bondage, is your own wonderful human imagination delivered from the facts of nature. ... Now, the facts deny it, but I will remain faithful to my assumption as though it were true, confident that imagining creates reality, and therefore, if I persist in my assumption, it will harden into fact.

This technique is the practical application of the law that imagination creates reality. By consciously choosing and persisting in an imaginal state, one directs their divine creative power to bring that state into being.

Pre-existence

To test the divine power within (Jesus/Imagination), one must dare to assume the feeling of being what reason and senses deny. By persisting in this assumption, it will eventually manifest as a physical fact, thereby proving that one's imagination is the creative power of God.

Now, in this world you can test it. You can test it, because he is the Power of God and the Wisdom of God. How do I test it? I dare to assume that I am what reason denies, and walk in the assumption that I am that, and if I persist in that assumption, it will harden into fact. And if “by Him all things were made, and without Him was not anything made that was made, and then suddenly I am confronted with the thing itself, having assumed that it is, and I assumed it when reason denied the fact, haven’t I found Him? If “by Him all things are made,” and I dare to assume what my senses deny and reason denies it, and yet I persist in the assumption, and then eventually it hardens into fact – well, did I not find the One Who makes things? And if “by Him all things are made, and without Him was not anything made that is made,” and I have found exactly how I did it – and I did it by simply assuming that I am what I would like to be, even though at the moment of my assumption everything denies that I could possibly be that, and then I became that – well then, I have found Jesus. I only assumed that I was what my reason denied. How did I do it? By imagining.

This technique demonstrates that one's imagination is the Lord Jesus, the creative power of God. By consciously assuming the state of the wish fulfilled, even against all evidence, and persisting in that feeling, the desired reality is created. This process reveals the identity of the individual's imagination as the divine creator.

The Hidden Cause

To manifest a desired outcome, assume the feeling and actions of being in the wish fulfilled. Act in imagination as if the desire is already a reality, persisting in this assumption until it solidifies.

While in the army I was told I could not get out, but I dared to assume I was out. I acted, in my imagination, as I would act were I free to come and go as I chose. I persisted in this assumption for nine days. Then the one who first denied my request granted my freedom, and that day I was honorably discharged.

This is a classic application of the Law of Assumption, where sustained imaginative living in the end state brings about its physical manifestation, even against external denials.

The Nature Of God

To manifest a desire, imagine yourself as already possessing it. Act, feel, and think from the perspective of the wish fulfilled, making this imaginal act a subjective appropriation of your desire. Assume it is an objective fact, and persist in this feeling until it manifests in your physical reality.

How would you act if God imagined you as you want to be? How would you feel? What would you do? Then do it. Feeling its reality, have faith in your imaginal act. Desire is your hope. Your imaginal act is your subjective appropriation of the hope you want to objectify. Now, assume it's yours. Walk in the assumption it is now an objective fact and see how God works. Tonight, leave this auditorium in the assumption that you are what you would like to be; and if tomorrow your assumption can be seen as fact by the world round about you, then you have found Christ, he who is within you as your hope of glory. Simply name that which seems so impossible to you, then assume that you have it. Walk in the assumption it is now an objective fact and see how God works. go about your own wonderful business assuming the feeling of the wish fulfilled.

This technique leverages the power of imagination, which is God, to create reality. By assuming the feeling of the wish fulfilled, one aligns with the creative power within, allowing the desired state to objectify itself.

The Secret Of Causation

To manifest a desire, one must assume the feeling and reality of the wish already being fulfilled. This involves engaging in imaginative acts that one would naturally perform if the desire were a physical fact, repeating these acts consistently until the feeling of reality is achieved and maintained.

I began to assume that the bag had arrived at the house. I lifted it up on the bed, opened it, put my clothes away, as well as the gifts which were there. I did this every night and during the day, when I would notice my thoughts going astray... Refusing to believe her luggage was missing, my friend fulfilled her desire by placing it on the bed, removing its contents, and putting them away. This she did every night for five weeks...

This technique directly applies the principle that belief in the present possession of a desire is what brings it into physical manifestation. The imaginative act is the creative act, and persistence in this assumption solidifies its reality.

There Is No Fiction

To manifest a desire, one must immerse themselves in the feeling of having already received it. This involves pointing one's consciousness towards the desired, invisible state and accepting it as current reality, then proceeding with the conviction that the desire is already fulfilled.

Now when you pray you must immerse yourself in the feeling of the wish fulfilled, for the word "pray" means, "Motion towards; accession to; at or in the vicinity of." Point yourself towards the wish fulfilled and accept that invisible state as reality. Then go your way knowing the desire is now yours.

This technique is the core of Neville's teaching on prayer. It emphasizes that true prayer is not begging but an internal act of assuming the state of the wish fulfilled, which then hardens into fact. The feeling is the glue that fixes the assumption.
