Alright, let’s settle this once and for all.
You’ve probably heard of the Law of Attraction—that whole “think positive and the universe will deliver” thing. Sounds nice, right? Too bad it’s kinda… wrong.
Enter the Law of Assumption—the OG, no-bullshit version of manifestation that doesn’t make you beg the cosmos for scraps. No “vibrations,” no “divine timing,” no waiting around for “signs.” Just you, your brain, and the absolute knowing that what you want is already yours.
In this post, we’re breaking down exactly why the Law of Assumption works while the Law of Attraction leaves you stuck in “maybe someday” land. Buckle up—this isn’t your typical fluffy manifesting advice.
(And if you’re still over here waiting for the universe to text you back… it’s time to wake up.)
1. Core Mechanism: Begging vs. Commanding
Okay, imagine the Law of Attraction (LAT) is like texting the universe: “Hey, can I pretty please have that promotion? I’ll be so grateful!” You’re asking, hoping vibes or “positive energy” will deliver it. Feels a bit like waiting for a wish-granting fairy, right?
Now, the Law of Assumption (LOA)? Nah. You’re not asking—you’re the universe’s CEO. You decide the promotion is already yours. No “manifesting,” just knowing. Like, “Why would I ‘attract’ my own hand? It’s already attached to me.” The 3D (reality) is just playing catch-up with your brain.
Fun test:
- LAT: “I’m trying to manifest love!”
- LOA: “My partner adores me. What’s for dinner?”
See the difference? One’s hoping, the other’s living.
2. Role of Action: Doing vs. Being
Alright, let’s talk about action—because this is where people get real confused.
Law of Attraction (LAT) folks will tell you: “Take inspired action! Hustle! Visualize, journal, dance under the full moon!” Like the universe needs you to prove you want it. Nah, fam. That’s just anxiety in a glittery disguise.
Law of Assumption (LOA)? Zero. Action. Needed. You don’t “do” to get—you are, so it’s done.
Think about it:
- Do you take inspired action to make your heart beat? No. It just does, because that’s who you are.
- Do you manifest your next breath? Nope. You assume air exists, and boom—lungs work.
Same with your desires. Want a new job? LAT says “Network! Update your resume! Beg LinkedIn!” LOA says: “I’m already hired. My boss loves me. What’s my Starbucks order, Karen?”
Real talk:
Action isn’t bad—but if you’re relying on it, you’re still in lack. “Act if you want, but know it’s already yours.”
3. Time & “Manifestation Speed”: The Biggest Lie You’re Still Believing
Let’s cut through the bullshit about “divine timing” and “when the universe is ready.” You want the truth? Time isn’t real. At least, not the way we think it is.
- Law of Attraction (LAT) Perspective:
“It’ll happen when the time is right! Trust the process! Maybe in a few months… or years… who knows? Just keep vibrating high, bestie!”
(Translation: “I have no idea how this works, so I’ll blame an imaginary cosmic schedule.”) - Law of Assumption (LOA):
“It’s done. The ‘when’ is NOW. The 3D is just slow as hell.”
(Like waiting for a text back from someone with shitty service—the message was sent, they just haven’t gotten it yet.)
Here’s why you’re still waiting:
You’re treating your desire like it’s coming instead of here. You wouldn’t say, “I hope my phone charger works… someday.” You plug it in and assume it’ll charge. Same. Damn. Thing.
Manifestation Hack:
Stop saying “I’m manifesting my dream life” and start saying “I’m living my dream life.” The first one puts it in the future. The second? Now.
4. Do Feelings Matter? (Spoiler: LOL, No.)
Okay, let’s settle this once and for all because I’m tired of seeing people stress-crying over their “vIbRaTiOnS.”
Law of Attraction (LAT) Nonsense:
*”You have to feel happy and grateful 24/7 or the universe will punish you with bad luck!”*
Bitch, what? So if I wake up grumpy, I don’t get to eat today? That’s not spirituality – that’s an abusive relationship with the cosmos.
Law of Assumption (Truth Bomb):
Feelings are just weather patterns in your brain. They come and go. Your assumption is the climate.
Example:
- You can be pissed off while knowing you’re rich.
- You can cry your eyes out while knowing your SP loves you.
- You can have an anxiety attack while knowing you’re safe.
Your feelings don’t cancel your manifestations any more than rain cancels gravity.
Real World Proof:
Ever been 100% certain about something but still felt nervous? Like knowing you’ll pass a test but having butterflies anyway? THAT’S how this works. The feeling didn’t change the outcome – your knowing did.
Mantra:
“I can feel like shit and still get everything I want because feelings aren’t the boss of me.”
5. Techniques: Why You’re Wasting Your Time (But It’s Cute)
Let’s talk about techniques—those shiny little rituals everyone obsesses over like they’re magic spells. Newsflash: They’re not.
- Law of Attraction (LAT) Approach:
“Do this 369 method for 47 days while standing on one leg, or your manifestation will FAIL!”
(Translation: “Here’s a complicated recipe to make you feel like you’re in control when you’re actually just stressed.”) - Law of Assumption (Reality Check):
“Techniques are training wheels. Useful at first, but eventually, you gotta just ride the damn bike.”
Here’s the truth:
Scripting, vision boards, SATS—they’re all just tools to help you assume it’s done. That’s it. They don’t create anything. You do.
Think about it:
- You don’t need to script that your fridge has food. You just know it does.
- You don’t visualize your bed existing before you sleep in it. You assume it’s there.
Shortcut:
The second you truly believe something’s yours, you could burn your vision board and your manifestation would still show up. Because it was never about the technique—it was about your certainty.
6. “Blockages” – The Biggest Scam in Manifestation History
Let me guess—you’ve been told you have “limiting beliefs” or “inner blocks” stopping your manifestations, right? And now you’re over here psychoanalyzing your childhood to figure out why your SP hasn’t proposed yet? Stop it.
- Law of Attraction (LAT) Nonsense:
“You have to heal your trauma first! Do shadow work for 5 years! Your daddy issues are why you’re single!”
(Translation: “Keep paying for my coaching program while you ‘fix’ yourself.”) - Law of Assumption (Truth):
“There are no blocks. There’s only what you’re assuming right now.”
Here’s why this matters:
If you believe you have to “heal” before you can manifest, you’re telling yourself you’re broken. And guess what? The 3D will happily reflect that back to you.
Mindset Shift:
You don’t need to “fix” anything. You just need to assume what you want is already true.
- “But I have anxiety!” → So? Anxiety doesn’t cancel your desires.
- “But I have past trauma!” → Trauma doesn’t override your assumptions.
- “But my therapist said—” → Your therapist isn’t the operant power of your reality. You are.
Real Talk:
The only “block” is you thinking there’s a block. Drop the story, assume it’s done, and watch the 3D catch up.
7. Testing the Law (A.K.A. How to Screw Yourself Over)
Ohhh boy, this one’s my favorite because we’ve ALL done it. You know what I’m talking about—that desperate little “Okay universe, if this is real, show me a yellow car in the next 5 minutes” game.
Law of Attraction (LAT) Approach:
“Look for signs! Angel numbers! Feathers! If you see 11:11 your manifestation is coming!”
(Translation: “Turn your life into a paranoid scavenger hunt where everything’s a ‘sign’ except your actual desire.”)
Law of Assumption (Reality Slap):
Signs = doubt in disguise. You don’t “test” gravity by dropping shit all day – you just KNOW it works.
Here’s why testing backfires:
- Looking for a “sign” means you don’t actually believe it’s done
- It keeps you in a state of waiting/lack
- The 3D will happily show you “signs” forever while withholding your actual desire
Golden Rule:
Would you test if your hands exist by constantly looking at them? No. You just USE them. Same with your manifestations.
8. The Ultimate Verdict: Why Law of Assumption Eats Law of Attraction for Breakfast
Let’s wrap this up with some real talk.
Law of Attraction (LAT) in a Nutshell:
“Beg the universe! Stay positive! Do backflips to prove you’re worthy! Maybe, if you’re lucky, you’ll get crumbs!”
Law of Assumption (LOA) in a Nutshell:
“I am God. Watch me.”
Why LOA Wins Every Time:
- LAT = Hoping | LOA = Knowing
- One’s waiting for a miracle. The other’s being the miracle.
- LAT = External Power | LOA = YOU Are the Power
- LAT makes the universe your sugar daddy. LOA makes you the bank.
- LAT = Complicated Rules | LOA = Literally Just Decide
- One needs moon phases and gratitude journals. The other needs one thought.
Final Truth Bomb:
You don’t “attract” shit. You are the shit. The 3D isn’t some separate entity—it’s YOUR reflection. Stop negotiating with reality and command it.
Last Question (Be Honest):
How much time have you wasted on LAT nonsense that could’ve been spent assuming your dream life?
