When a man has truly assumed wealth, money is no longer his concern. This is not pretense. This is not positive thinking. This is the complete inner shift that changes everything.
What is True Assumption?
When I say a man has assumed wealth, I do not mean that he feels prosperous. I do not mean that he looks to feeling as evidence of possession. I mean that the matter is settled and money is no longer his concern.
Feelings fluctuate. They rise in the morning and fall by evening. Assumption does not fluctuate. It is the place from which one acts without discussion.
The Coat Analogy
Consider the man who knows his coat hangs in the next room. He does not rehearse the thought of the coat. He does not imagine its texture. He does not check repeatedly to see if it remains. He simply walks and puts it on when required.
That is assumption.
When wealth is assumed, money is no longer handled in thought. It is no longer watched. It is no longer counted with expectation. It is no longer checked to ease concern. For what is taken as fact does not require attention.
A man who continually checks the door has not yet accepted that he is at home.
This connects deeply with what we explore in the philosophy of success—the inner state determines the outer reality, not the other way around.
The Nature of Wealth Consciousness
Many mistake waiting for patience. They are not of the same nature.
Waiting
Waiting implies that something is yet to come.
To wait for money is to declare that money is absent.
To look for signs is to confess that the position has not been taken.
Patience
Patience implies that nothing is unsettled.
True patience comes from a settled state.
The assumption itself determines the manner of its expression.
Not Denial, But Position
I am not speaking of ignoring figures. I am not suggesting denial of circumstance. I am speaking of a change of position.
A man who has assumed wealth does not manage its arrival in imagination. He does not supervise the means. He does not instruct life on how it must appear. The assumption itself determines the manner of its expression.
The Train Ticket Story
You may recall a story I often tell. A man boards a train with a valid ticket. He does not argue with the conductor. He does not expect removal at the next stop. He sits because the matter is settled.
That sitting is faith.
He does not sit in strain. He does not sit by force of will. He simply sits because nothing further is required.
So it is with money. When the assumption is taken, movement follows naturally.
The Difference Between Need and Possession
Action born of strain announces need. Action born of acceptance announces possession. The same action may occur in both cases, but the law distinguishes between them.
Action from Need
- Proceeds from pressure
- Carries the energy of lack
- Is driven by fear or urgency
- Seeks to change circumstances
- Looks for external validation
Action from Possession
- Proceeds from fact
- Carries the energy of completion
- Is natural and effortless
- Expresses inner state
- Requires no confirmation
"If you are watching for it, you have not yet arrived. If you are waiting, you have not yet moved. If you are directing the outcome, the assumption has not been accepted."
This principle aligns with building sustainable momentum—true power comes from a settled state, not from striving or force.
The World as Mirror: Understanding Consciousness
I do not ask you to strain the imagination. I do not ask you to convince yourself of anything. I ask you to observe yourself.
Self-Observation Practice
-
Observe Your Daily Actions
Notice the course of your daily actions. What do you reach for first? What occupies your thoughts during idle moments?
-
Notice What You Keep Under Watch
What do you check repeatedly? Your bank account? Your opportunities? Your circumstances? This watching reveals your true state of consciousness.
-
Notice Where You Hesitate
For conduct betrays the position long before words ever do. Hesitation indicates an unassumed state. Certainty flows from assumption.
The Fundamental Truth
"The world is a mirror reflecting what you are conscious of being."
And let me remind you again: the world does not give you anything. The outer world is dead. It has no causative power.
Man moves in a world that is nothing more than a dead mechanical reflection of his assumptions. The world does not initiate until you do.
The Law of Consciousness
As soon as you succeed in assuming the feeling of the wish fulfilled, the law of life works for you. You do not command it. You do not persuade it. You do not set it in motion.
You simply stand, and from that standing, all things move.
Key Information
Assumption is the Cause
Your inner state creates your reality
Key Information
Behavior is the Evidence
Your actions reveal your true assumptions
Key Information
The World Has No Power
It merely reflects the position occupied
Change where you stand and nothing else is required.
Living From the End: Practical Wisdom
The question is not whether you will act. The question is: from what state will you act?
The State Determines Everything
A wealthy man does not act to become wealthy. He acts as a wealthy man. The difference is not in the action but in the consciousness behind it.
- He does not save to become secure—he saves because he is secure
- He does not invest to become wealthy—he invests because he is wealthy
- He does not work to prove his worth—he works from his worth
- He does not give to appear generous—he gives because abundance is his nature
The Transformation of Conduct
When you truly assume a state, your conduct changes automatically. You do not need to monitor your behavior. You do not need to remind yourself to act differently.
The state itself produces the behavior. This is why affirmations without assumption fail. This is why visualization without embodiment produces nothing.
Common Misconceptions
What Does NOT Work:
- Repeating words without belief - Your subconscious knows the truth
- Visualizing while feeling lack - The feeling of lack cancels the vision
- Acting "as if" while knowing you're pretending - Pretense is not assumption
- Watching for signs of change - Watching confirms the absence
- Explaining to others how it will happen - This reveals doubt in the assumption
This understanding transforms our approach to overcoming resistance—we don't fight circumstances; we change our state of consciousness.
The Practice of Assumption
How then does one assume? Not by effort. Not by willpower. Not by convincing oneself.
The Method
Steps to True Assumption
-
Identify the State You Desire to Occupy
Not the thing you want, but the state of being that possesses it. Do you want wealth? Then identify the state of being wealthy.
-
Observe Someone Who Occupies That State
Not their actions, but their being. How does a wealthy person sit? How do they speak? What is their relationship to money? Notice not what they do, but what they are.
-
Assume That State in Consciousness
In a state of relaxation, particularly before sleep, feel yourself to be what you wish to be. Not imagine it happening in the future—feel it as already true.
-
Persist in That Assumption
Return to it daily. Not to make it true—it is already true in consciousness. Return to it because consciousness is the only reality.
-
Ignore Evidence to the Contrary
The three-dimensional world reflects your past assumptions. It takes time to reflect your current assumption. Do not let the mirror dictate your state.
The Feeling of the Wish Fulfilled
What would it feel like if your desire were already realized? Not the excitement of receiving it—that implies it's still coming. I mean the quiet knowing that it is done.
Key Information
When you own a house, you don't think about owning a house. You simply live in it. When you have money in the bank, you don't rehearse having money in the bank. It's a settled fact.
That settledness is what you must assume.
This practice integrates perfectly with powerful mental models that help you understand and navigate reality from a position of consciousness.
Common Mistakes to Avoid
After years of teaching this principle, I have observed certain patterns of error. Learn from these so you may avoid them.
Mistake #1: Watching the Mirror
The Error:
Constantly checking circumstances for evidence of change.
Why It Fails:
Watching for change declares that change hasn't occurred. You cannot assume and watch for results simultaneously.
The Correction:
Assume the state and let the world catch up. The mirror reflects yesterday's consciousness. Be patient with the reflection, but firm in your assumption.
Mistake #2: Effort and Strain
The Error:
Trying to force the feeling, working hard to maintain the state.
Why It Fails:
Effort implies something is not yet true. True assumption is effortless because it is accepted as fact.
The Correction:
Relaxation, not tension. The state is assumed in stillness. Let go of the need to make it happen.
Mistake #3: Explaining the How
The Error:
Figuring out how the desire will manifest, planning the path.
Why It Fails:
Planning the "how" reveals that you haven't fully assumed. A man with a coat doesn't plan how the coat got there.
The Correction:
Assume the end. Let the means appear naturally. Your job is consciousness, not management.
Mistake #4: Testing the Law
The Error:
Using small desires to "test" if this works before applying it to important matters.
Why It Fails:
Testing implies doubt. You don't test gravity before stepping. You trust it completely.
The Correction:
Apply it to what matters most. Your faith in the principle determines the result, not the size of the desire.
"The only thing that stands between you and your desire is your assumption. Change your assumption and you change your world."
The Ultimate Freedom
This teaching gives you ultimate freedom. You are not at the mercy of circumstances. You are not waiting for conditions to change. You are not dependent on external factors.
Important Highlight
You are the operant power. Consciousness is the only reality. The world merely reflects what you are conscious of being.
- You don't need to convince anyone
- You don't need permission from circumstances
- You don't need to wait for the "right time"
- You don't need to understand the mechanism
- You only need to assume the state
The Simplicity of It
People seek complexity because simplicity seems too easy. But the truth is simple: change your state of consciousness and your world must change.
Not because you deserve it. Not because you worked hard. Not because you followed the right steps. But because consciousness is the only reality and the three-dimensional world is its shadow.
"Assume the feeling of your wish fulfilled and observe the route that your attention follows. Your assumption guides your attention. Your attention determines your actions, and your actions manifest your reality."
This is the law. It is impersonal. It works for everyone who applies it correctly. It requires no belief in the supernatural, no faith in external powers, no approval from authorities.
It requires only that you change where you stand in consciousness.
Your Assignment
Begin Tonight
- Choose one desire - Make it clear and specific
- Identify the state - What state of being possesses this naturally?
- Tonight before sleep - Relax completely and assume that state
- Feel it as already done - Not coming, not hoped for, but accomplished
- Persist in this assumption - Return to it nightly until it hardens into fact
- Observe your daily conduct - Notice how it naturally changes
- Ignore the three-dimensional world - It's only showing you yesterday's consciousness
- Study these principles deeper - Read how to turn vision into reality
The 30-Day Consciousness Challenge
For 30 consecutive nights, assume the feeling of your wish fulfilled before sleep. If you miss a night, start counting again from day one.
This is not discipline—this is devotion to your own consciousness. This is loyalty to your assumption.
The world must reflect what you persist in being conscious of.
Remember: The world is dead. It has no life of its own. It is you pushed out. Change your consciousness, and you change your world. Not through effort, not through will, but through assumption. This is the law, and the law never fails.
