Questions about Law of Assumption
What is the Law of Assumption?+
The Law of Assumption states that whatever you assume to be true - not wish for, but accept as a settled inner fact - becomes your experience. Neuroscientifically this works through the Reticular Activating System: once you accept something as real, your brain filters perception and guides behaviour to match that assumption. Neville distinguished sharply between wishing (wanting from a position of lack) and assuming (inhabiting the state as though it already exists). The practice is to persist in the assumption until it becomes your dominant inner state.
