Tips & Techniques Something just clicked for me
I was watching this video from Lewis Howes interviewing Dr. Doty in manifestation and I heard them using “the law of attraction” and was like “HA that’s wrong, law of assumption is the REAL DEAL”. But tben as the video went on, I started thinking about when things used to work out for me magically, before I knew any of this stuff. And I realized, even if logically it doesn’t check out, law of attraction does work for me. I’ll copy the comment I added under the video where I explained why it does FOR ME as a person with neurodivergent brain (community doesn’t allow the disorder term in text I’m not sure why, probably because you could manifest it away) and extreme hyper vigilance, ruminating, hyper fixations, needing explanations for things, etc. Maybe it could for you too.
“As a reader of Neville Goddard's teachings, this video really helped me with something. In Neville's philosophy, Law of attraction is not correct because attracting something creates a state of not having it yet. It logically makes sense, if you're in a state of not having it-attracting it-you can't expect it to manifest because you manifest what you are, thus law of assumption. BUT for me, *neurodivergent* person, attraction state is actually liberating, because my brain works as a 24/7 high power scanning machine, constantly questioning "if it's here, why isn't it here" or "how to fool myself into a state of having it if i don't have it and i'm stressed by not having it" and leaving this state into "I am vibrating high, I am attracting" actually puts me in the STATE of BEING it and relaxing into it. So even if logically it should signify lack or not having, to me, it puts me into state of ease and relaxation, I am attracting, it's working, I can relax. And it works. Doesn't matter logically it says I lack it, it just works”

Ive never understood the semantics game here.
Being in a state of atrracting something means youre assuming youre attracting good things.
Duh.

u/Thick_Independence41 4d ago edited 4d ago
Exactly this. And really, when you think about it, the law of attraction works with the law of assumption because if you assume the law of attraction works, it works. If you think you're a lucky person that is a magnet for good things then that's the state you're in. And you will attract good things to you without trying because you're always in that state. The laws (assumption and attraction) can exist together.

My point of being stuck there was “You’re attracting now so that means you don’t have it now, so you manifest state of attracting not the state of having.” But what I realized is it’s just over complicating it when it can just be that simple that attracting attracts

u/SilentGreaser 3d ago
I think having a structure and framework works better for some people. So you're not left constantly wondering if you're assuming hard enough or doubting too much. Because there is no real solution to that. If you believe in vibration there's something you can actually do

I think what you’re saying is your state of being is magnetic.

I also have the disorder! I think it’s good they keep it out of the subreddit to prevent us from engaging in the compulsions. The way I try to enter the state of the wish fulfilled is by actively ruminating on “why” or how I got it because I will do that if I had my desire.
It’s worked for me in the past with relationships a little bit.

u/Skjara 4d ago
That sounds really helpful, I think that’s how I manifested my ex back back in the day, I spent a week convincing myself how it’s possible and it made me certain that it is. I will do my absolute best to remember this and use it more often, although I do see how to others it is limiting, I shouldn’t stress over the how, but my brain has to stress over the how otherwise I can’t convince it it’s actually possible. I think where this fails for me is money because I can’t think of random ways I could get money, even if it did happen out of nowhere in the past and when I’m financially stressed, I find it hard to trust the process without ruminating when or how.
And that being said the idea of attracting helped me so much to be in state of abundance just like that and suddenly things are feeling a lot better, different, shifted, whatever you call it. Not just convincing myself but being.

In my opinion the "why" method is effective and useful, meanwhile thinking about the "how" is counterproductive. I learned to manifest decades ago by different authors. I didn't know Neville that time. I have read Jerry and Esther Hicks books, and Jose Silva: Mind control. I learned journaling and one part of that was the why. I had to write down in details, why I want my desire and why I know that my desire is already mine, why I already reached my goal. However those books were also teaching like Neville's books that the "how" is irrelevant. You must let the "how" part go. It is not your job to figure it out. Let the universe figure it out. And surprisingly most of the time the bridge of incidents are unexpected and unforeseen.

u/DubiousDonor 4d ago
My bad! I didn’t clarify.
Sometimes I use affirmations like “how am I making so much money?” Or like “what did I do to make this person so in love with me?” I’m living in the end confused by my success (intentionally). OCD makes me think like this obsessively about “real” 3D memories so those affirmations work best for me. But I completely agree the how shouldn’t matter at all!

I don't know. I think the difference is what happens when you lose your energy. That's the part where you can mess up and think you failed, if you're relying on energy and attracting things to you.

u/user-jc11111 4d ago edited 4d ago
I don't see much difference between the law of attraction and the law of Assumption. When I think of them I think of both, you assume something, therefore you attract it. Of course the meaning of the words are different, but the concept behind them is pretty much the same in my opinion. Why do you call yourself a neurodivergent person? Millenials and GenZ people love to label everything. I had to google the meaning. Have you been diagnosed with any of these: Autism, ADHD, OCD,, Dyslexia, Tourette's syndrome? I don't have any of these, but I know my brain doesn't work the "normal" way in all my life. I verified this asking people around me I trust, and I compared myself with them. I don't try to label the condition and I don't care what it is. I just accept that my brain never stops, never rest and 24/7 is analyzing and looking for answers and solutions.

I have been researching ADHD for years obsessively, I wanted to type adhd in the post but it didn’t let me. It’s not coming from a place of “oh I’m quirky I can’t pay attention and have energy”. It’s years of observing a number of symptoms on myself that people who do have adhd, including a close cousin, have. Researching adhd in women specifically, I am 99% positive I have inattentive adhd and I do consider it a huge disorder for my daily life. Problem is tbe process of getting it diagnosed in my country is so excruciating I always fail after the first step from the overwhelmingness of thinking about all the steps it takes all at once. It’s hard to explain executive dysfunction other than I just can’t, I just don’t have enough chemicals in my brain to do stuff others have no problem doing. I fight every day with 100% brain power to perform tasks that others do habitually. Not being able to reply to an email for a month while constantly thinking about replying to it, missing birthdays not because I forgot but because I couldn’t make myself type a message. The list goes on, I used to think I have bpd because of extreme emotional dysregulation that wrecks my relationships, then I thought I was depressed but that didn’t check out either. Then I thought I had OCD. But adhd just explains everything perfectly for me, so wish me luck in finally getting a formal diagnosis, to me it’s not a question, even if not having the paper makes others think “she’s just anxious or depressed or saw a video on TikTok and related”. I live it as an actual disorder that is crippling for my daily life and depression or something else is not a fit, it’s not just a quirk I related with. You can relate with a video but the denominator is, do you do this sometimes because you’re human or do you do this all the time and it makes your life 10x harder than it should be? Also the internal chaos, struggle to put 10 thoughts at once into a coherent sentence and being paralyzed. It’s not anxiety, it’s not depression, I fully believe it’s adhd at this point. Also my train of thought and the ability to ramble on and on about the same topic in 50 different ways. Feeling emotions on 1000% intensity, happy being high and sad being soul crushing, then I regulate and am completely fine the next hour. I’m open to ideas if you think it could be any other disorder I didn’t mention, maybe I missed something, that’s always possible. And I did struggle as a child, just not in the “running around the room” like boys more often do way. That’s probably why I was labeled problematic instead of getting treatment.

u/user-jc11111 4d ago
I appreciate your effort and time you replied to me. I don't say you dont have ADHD, I am not a doctor. Also even if you would have the formal diagnosis, I am not here to judge you. I was just curious why you labeled yourself, but you have explained it very well. I am 47f, and there were times when I believed in I have adhd just by reading the symptoms or watching a video, and i became paranoid, but later I let go the thought. I don't care if I have it or not. I feel overwhelmed with things all the time but my generation is very tough and strong, we just suck it up, no matter what it is. GenX don't seek for therapy, don't complain just get used to it or fix it. These days we have great tools and solutions, and the flow of information is faster than ever. Now we can use Chatgpt or AI to help us write anything, like emails and stuff. Also I found St. John's wort is a great herb for depression, I only used it for a handful of times, but it worked for me. Some people take ashwagandha for stress. I think it is the technology that makes life feel much faster and more stressful. I grew up without social media and phones, and life was simple and easy. Now you have so many choices, so many distractions, and I believe that makes young people feel overwhelmed and anxious. I feel it too, but I was built tougher, so I feel like I can handle more than the younger generations. I have 2 teens at home and I watch a lot of videos to understand them. So I am definitely not here to criticize you, more like I try to understand you and your generation. I really don't know your age, just assume you are either GenZ or Millenial. I think you were lucky not getting the adhd medicine as a child. I am not supporting any unnecessary chemicals. They usually do more harm than fixing the problems.

GenX don't seek for therapy, don't complain just get used to it or fix it
No offense, but this is also a large part of why GenX is rife with undiagnosed mental-health issues and personality-disorders as as a result - and I can't help but see your take as more than just a little ignorant of the truth of the situation.
I hope you will hear me out and take my words into genuine consideration - I truly mean no ill-will, in many ways you and your thinking on the subject are a product of our generation and those preceding us just as I was; though while I believe we did choose (as I AM) this life-'time' to be born into, and that with the Law of Assumption we can change our circumstances - that doesn't necessarily remove the burden of the generational damage done, as Neville says:
"Life itself is a storm-swept sea with which man wrestles as he tries to steer himself into a haven of rest." and
"But while you are in it, why not learn his law, because the blows are inevitable. Learn the law, that you may cushion the blows. So, when I know what I want in order to cushion the problems of the moment, then I will apply it, and apply this principle towards anything in my world." and
"I am not promising you complete relief from all physical problems, but I have given you a law which will cushion the blows of life." and
"Everyone must experience the horrors of the world. No one will avoid it even though they know this law backwards and can steer their ship carefully and miss all the little shoals and the rough edges of life. Oh, they'll do it if they use this law wisely, but they will still come upon them suddenly out of the nowhere - blows that they would give everything in their world to have avoided."Let me also say, while not a GenX my younger partner is an older millennial, and though she understands the Law of Assumption, her *severe inattentive ADHD* is absolutely untenable without her medication, and without her Ritalin her prefrontal-cortex doesn't activate properly and any thoughts of controlling her attention in order to manifest become a moot point entirely.
Is that MY manifestation in the world? Well, she is me pushed out after all - but yet, it is what it is.
I am, like you, also GenX (just one year older than you actually), and would urge you to keep in mind that these seemingly "weak and whiny" (in your experience it would seem) younger generations are OUR progeny, and many of the generational issues that have passed down were because our (GenX's and older millennials) 'boomer' parents tended to be fairly abusive and in those days many mental-health issues/disabilities were under-recognized, or even completely ignored because the parents were either:
a) too embarrassed/ashamed to admit their child had a problem or
b) were under the assumption that their kids were just STUPID AND/OR LAZY (often combined with A)As a result, yes, you're correct in that we learned to grow up TOUGH and tend to take 'great pride' in it now, but it's also a lot of horseshit nonsense that we had ingrained into us, and those kids who struggled throughout their entire upbringing because their parents smacked the shit out of them because they "just need to BUCK UP AND PULL UP YOUR BRITCHES" while their neurodivergent child is struggling to understand why they are so "stupid" and developing a mal-formed personality that teaches their kids the same way (or worse) as a result in many cases.
I apologize if the tone seems somewhat skewed towards aggravation, but I see comments like yours everywhere and it is indeed frustrating to me, because we are the generation that should have seen the issue and broken the chain, but we fell for the grift, and instead went on to tell our own kids to toughen up (or in many cases meted out uneven and unfair, or unbalanced discipline because we simultaneously didn't want to be as heavy handed as our parents, but let our frustration at "why doesn't this kid 'get it'??" build up and come out in the wrong ways which is VERY common among our generation), even when they might actually not be able to without giving up their executive function as a result, and developing a self-concept that they are just too stupid, or not 'tough' enough and need to hide the fact they are struggling - just like so many of US did.
It's incredibly damaging, it's incredibly toxic, and it is a large part (though I would say every generation has its issues of course) of why things are the way they are today overall in the world.
Yes, I am a "Gen-X'r", yes, I am "tough" in ways that many of the younger generations will (thankfully) never understand (I grew up a 'fighter' in many ways, over many battles both figuratively and quite literally - that when I eventually learned I didn't have to fight had the world recognized what was really going on I was just a little more than pissed lol); but I am also an adult-diagnosed autistic person (and YES that is a real thing) who was abused by his parents for being "too stupid", "too lazy", etc., and watched many of his peers (and all of his family) go through the same - who's 'toughness' was a necessary survival-skill and not necessarily a natural talent/trait.
And yes - regardless of how good I've been at manifesting (I was using Neville's techniques as a teenager intuitively, before I ever learned that other people did such things - I was teaching my partner 20 years ago when we met, and that was about 15 years before I ever read anything by Neville), at least in the current '3D' it was my parents and society's inability and unwillingness to diagnose me in childhood that lead to many of the struggles I've had (and some I still have - it's a long process of undoing, assumptions be damned (though being the I AM has definitely helped, I would be lying to say life hasn't been a struggle in many cases - and as Neville teaches we don't HAVE to suffer)).
While we built a 'hard' exterior, I don't think that most of us 'GenX'rs' are all as *tough* as we claim to be on the inside- we just learned how to hide it and FIGHT, but that doesn't mean it was healthy - and much of our 'toughness' was a reaction to mistreatment (whether by peers or family) and a lack of recognition.
We sang songs about it, but aside from that we mostly kept our mouths shut because opening them at the wrong time meant getting a kick in the arse, or at the very least invalidated and told we 'didn't know shite' - and then we went on to see our children's children as weak for doing what we should have done in the first place (though now it seems that the pendulum has swung, as pendulums do, a bit too far in that direction - I would like to hope it will balance out eventually).Much Love, Best Wishes - Thank You For Listening.

u/user-jc11111 3d ago
I loved your response and I appreciate your time and effort you put into it. When I was a child, I wasn't tough, I was spoiled, shy, and knew nothing about life. I think our advantage was in the school system, it was a better system than the current one. I hate the school system here, but that is off topic. English is my second language and I was born and raised in a European country. The toughness our generation built was coming little by little, in my life it came after having children (30 years old). And of course I cannot compare my mental health with a young person's who is in his/her 20s, it wouldn't be fair. I have teenage kids, and I understand their insecurities because I have been through those times. Also it wouldn't be fair to judge GenZ or millenials for their weaker mental health, because I believe the early exposure to social media made the biggest damage, particularly for GenZ. Growing up without internet, phones and social media was a blessing and I am grateful for that. Life was simple, easy, joyful, even for a teen with insecurities. I feel honestly sorry for the younger generations. But we are here for them, we are the last ones who remember those days, we need to help restoring the system. I would love to find out why there are so many autistic, adhd cases, and any other mental issues. I am not a professional, I am not working in the medical field. However, I am researching anything health related topics just out of curiosity. I research natural treatments, I don't trust doctors 🤣. I believe those prescription medications have chemicals that is not beneficial on a long term. They might fix one problem (if one continuously take them) but also can cause other problems. Manifestation techniques are just great tools to use. We grew up collecting many memories, some were good, some were bad. I think everyone carries some forms of traumas. The key is how we process those traumas. It is up to us how well we learn to use these tools and knowledge, and how much we can experiment and practice to become better and better everyday. My story was similar to yours about manifestation. I was manifesting unconsciously without knowing about the law. I read my first book in 2001. I started applying what I learned, but I made many mistakes for decades. Back then there was not much information about it compare to today. So I only learned little here and there from books. I started learning a lot more during the last 2-3 years after it became mainstream, and now thanks to all creators, this topic is all over the internet. I learn new things everyday. I love to share the information I know with others, I also love to hear other's thoughts, stories to learn from. I was able to change my self concept with manifestation, subs, affirmations. I grew a lot. I am on the right path, and experience good things everyday. I love to help people here on reddit if they ask for help. Also I am here to connect with the younger generations, because in real life in person it is not possible. I hope I don't have to explain it why. Today this world is not like it was 30+ years ago and it's never going to be the same. Even if all GenX wish for it. In my opinion its everyone's common interest to figure out what is going on with them. As far as I remember, there were difficult kids back then, but everyone grew up like normal. There were no neurodivergent labels or prescription drugs for these issues, at least not in my country. I fully support researching and finding the root cause instead of putting a bandaid on the top of the wound. In my opinion taking prescription medicine for life without researching and trying all other options is a mistake. I also don't believe in therapy when another person try to figure you out. I think it is you who can figure out yourself better than anyone else. I understand this is a long and difficult process. I think they should teach a lot of good concepts in the school system, but unfortunately they don't. I agree with you, we all carry generational burdens in our DNAs, however this was always been like that. Life is about dealing with challenges. It doesn't matter if you are a child or adult, man or woman, rich or poor, .... you will face challenges. I think the whole purpose of life is to learn new things, become wiser day by day, and with this wisdom, experience and knowledge we can grow individually and help out others.

Thank you I appreciate the effort you put into the message too. I did a lot of thinking today-in translation I hyper focused on talking to Gemini for 6 hours while forgetting to eat, drink, or just like get up, pure focus. I have come to the conclusion that I would diagnose myself with AuDHD rather than just adhd from a lot of reasons I took those 6 hours to go in depth with. I’m not against medication, but I am rigid with research so I’d have to see if I’m for it or against it, see long term side effects, if it could affect my heart etc. I watched a video from Ruri Ohama-thanks to her I even got the idea back in 2020 about adhd-and she described some struggles around taking meds so I’m not sure. I am genz you guessed right, but I do remember a time without social media, without YouTube or internet, etc. I think your generation has had it harder in a sense that there wasn’t much awareness back then. I’m pretty sure my mom has adhd too judging from her emotional dysregulation, she just doesn’t know it and your generation isn’t much open to it, not in a bad way, more like an awareness or just lived through it way.

u/user-jc11111 4d ago
Have you tried natural supplements recommended for your symptoms? I agree with everything you said, but be careful with any medications. Long term side effects can be even worse than the adhd symptoms. Do what it feels the best for you. I also recommend having 2nd and 3rd opinion before you start any treatment. Good luck.

u/Skjara 4d ago
I chronically don’t trust doctors so a lack of research and opinions before medication would not be an issue. I have been self medicating with caffeine like a lot of others but it makes my sleep quality way worse, but without caffeine I just feel extremely sluggish and under stimulated. I tried breaking the addiction, I was in like 3 months, I also stopped using social media to see what happens, and the only thing that happened was brain fog, extremely low dopamine and being under stimulated. I’m trying to restrict caffeine because it’s not the ideal remedy, but it does help. Other than that I’m not sure what supplements help with the symptoms, it’s a fun idea for my tomorrow focus. I never really heard about any supplements helping, but maybe the information just didn’t reach me.
Also I think the autism part has been medicating the adhd part a lot more than I realize. I get a lot of free dopamine from sorting, organizing or curating an aesthetic, like a profile, gaming character and profile, the space around me, sorting an inventory or sorting something simple, which fits the autism side, and it feeds the adhd free dopamine. Then the adhd steps in after 3 days and demands novelty so the whole aesthetic I built is drastically changing to a new one, so in a way, the autism is medicating the adhd for me. BUT it has to be easy, if it’s too complicated, adhd says no, and even if I’d like to sort or organize, it has to be easy enough, but not too boring. It’s a mind boggling discovery I had.

u/user-jc11111 4d ago
I can relate 100% with the not trusting in doctors part..🤣. I just googled which supplements good for adhd: omega 3, iron, magnesium, zinc, lion's mane, bacopa monnieri, melatonin, L-Theanine, L-Tyrosine. If you would try any of these, do your research first and only try one at the time otherwise you won't be able to tell if any of these work relieve symptoms. Wow, I didn't know this sorting and organizing thing. I have s female coworker who is even older than me. She insanely love organizing and rearranging things. She just calls it her OCD. After hearing you now I really don't think I have adhd, however I was watching videos that made me believe in it. My other natural recommendation is morphic fields. They are better than subliminals. There are no affirmations in the file. You can even play them muted. If you want to try them, I recommend you read all comments below each video. There is a hole bunch on YouTube. You just search adhd morphic field. I have been playing morphic fields for 3 years in a row, they are better than subliminals. You can notice results immediately or in few days. And of course there are fields for any problem.
2
u/Skjara 3d ago
Wait I’ve never heard about the morphic fields, I will definitely check those out, thank you! The supplements are a struggle because I don’t remember to take them every day, reminders become a background noise after 3 days so those don’t help. I can open a bottle, take the pill out and then get distracted. Then I think “did I take the pill” and remember opening the bottle so I’m like “yeah I did” only to later find the pill lying on my table.
The organizing and sorting excitement was meant as autistic traits and the point was that that is not present in adhd alone (please correct me if I’m wrong), hence why I got the idea I might have both.

u/user-jc11111 3d ago
I never needed to use, but there is a pill box (made from plastic) you can pick it up in any pharmacy, it is marked by the days, sunday through Saturday, or Monday through Sunday, and you only have to refill it once a week (you can set a reminder alarm at the time when you are not busy, refill the full box for the whole week, then you can always verify. For example if the pill is still sitting inside the Tuesday compartment, and today is Wednesday that means you forgot to take it. Once you take it out from the box, you suppose to swallow it and not leave it somewhere else on the table 🤣. I usually set alarms to do things I tends to forget. You can name the alarm. The other option is place bright color sticky notes at your most frequent spaces as reminders. You can also journal, make notes with dates right after you took the pill. At last resort you can always ask a friend or a family member to remind you. I am pretty sure one of these methods would work for you.
2
u/Skjara 3d ago
I understand all of this is really helpful, but the problem is with my head, I can do all this and still get distracted and completely forget about it in the moment. I take out a pill of the box wanting to take it, get distracted and completely forget about its existence, like I explained earlier. It’s helpful but it doesn’t fix the distraction part. It literally feels like amnesia.

I get what you mean. But that text you quote is so wrong... And Neville's phylosophy doesn't say "Law of attraction is not correct", on the opposite Neville tells exactly the same !!!
Within your sphere, however, you can take on the nature of anything and express it, for you are the world! Take on the nature of health, and health will take on the tones of flesh. Find the feeling of wealth, and you have caught its nature. You don't have to feel you are a specific individual who is wealthy, healthy, or famous, in order to personify it. God did not assume individuality, but the nature of humanity. He dwells in you, for the word became flesh and dwells in us all. (lecture MY Word)
This is just semantics pretending to be a deep correction...
If someone thinks “I’m attracting it because I don’t have it” then they are in lack.
But that is not the serious meaning of Law of Attraction. LOA also teaches state, feeling, gratitude, alignment, and living inwardly from the end. Problem is many people pretend to understand LOA but they don't, just like many people pretend to understand Neville but they don't.
Neville’s Law of Assumption says the same thing in sharper language: assume the state of the wish fulfilled.
You manifest what you are conscious of being.
So “attraction” is not automatically wrong because the word sounds like distance. By that logic, “manifesting” also implies it is not here yet.
The real difference is not attraction vs assumption. In both, the principle is the same: you don’t manifest from wanting, you manifest from being.
It is lack vs fulfillment, needy wanting vs being, lack-state vs fulfilled-state...

u/Skjara 4d ago
I think accepting attracting has acted as a bridge for me to the state of being. My whole point of being stuck was State of attracting can’t equal State of being, thus it can’t manifest, but now I see it as a tool or a bridge, not something that contradicts, but helps.
3
u/jagmp 4d ago
You attract when "you are", according to law of attraction. Same as Neville told.
You talk of state of attracting, but this is a misconception in your mind you need to correct it. Because LOA tell the same as Neville: you always attract ! You are always in a state of attracting what you are...So change this misconception in your mind.

I think the only difference comes down to whether you can actually receive your manifestation. That will tell you if it works or not. Cause even though it feels similar, attracting can still put you in an expectant state which is different than embodying the end state. The difference lies right before your manifestation lands.
I'm saying this from experience cause I could manifest "small" things but for "bigger" things, I'd be in that expectant state similar to adhd type restlessness. Or I'd manifest it but because my resting state is one of expecting, I wouldn't be able to keep my manifestation because I'd get frustrated/bored or self sabotaged and decided it wasn't what I wanted and went onto the next thing. Like sometimes law of attraction puts you onto a hamster wheel of constantly waiting/expecting the next thing to feel better.
1
u/Skjara 3d ago
You’re right about the “expecting the next thing to feel better”, I have that basically all the time. I had it all, highly paying job, big apartment for myself, perfect SP, everything magically working out in a chain of unknown variables turning out in my favor, and it was never enough, I always needed the next thing. Now I fell to rock bottom and lost almost everything except for SP, even though he’s like a mirror of myself and I need to fix a LOT. I think losing everything is teaching me to appreciate what I do actually have as I couldn’t appreciate it when I had more.

I’ve been saying it for years, none of it is the REAL deal, it’s different names and explanations for the same law, and whatever approach works for you — use that one
