Have you ever set a goal, visualized the outcome, and then started to
consider the possibility? Would it not
happen? Most individuals start their journey on manifestation with a lot of
enthusiasm and drop out when they do not realize the manifestation results sofast. However, persistent assumption is what makes the difference between
success and failure as per Neville Goddard.
The Law of Assumption is that reality is your inner convictions and not
your outward endeavors. As such, by continuing to believe that what you want is
already accomplished you get a mighty engine of creation going.
This paper will discuss the meaning of persistence in assumption, the
reasons why it is necessary, the skills of doing persistence successfully and
how to overcome doubts that may be encountered in the process.
What Does Persistence in Assumption Mean?
Persistence in assumption is persevering to believe in what you want
regardless of the display of your physical senses. It is living in the end with
your mind and thinking that your desire has already been fulfilled and not
letting appearances of the moment dishearten you.
Neville Goddard explained it in the following manner.
Continue assuming that what you want is done and it will become reality.
This implies that reality is a creation of your imagination, although
only when you are consistent in that belief. The thing is that during the
period of persistence, the invisible assumption turns into visible experience.
The Core Principle of the Law of Assumption
According to the Law of Assumption, anything you believe is true turns
out to be your truth. All the beliefs and feelings and thoughts are seeds that
come to pass. But the vast majority of the population subconsciously
presupposes lack, failure or fear, and that is what will keep reoccurring in
their lives.
Persistence is the art of being true to the assumption you have made,
however long the delay or the lack of belief. Spirituality. It is the art of
believing without seeing.
Why Persistence Matters
Persistence is not merely a question of positive thinking, but
re-programming of your subconscious mind. Your subconscious controls 95 percent
of your behavior and situation and it does not surrender any thought unless it
is repeated constantly.
In every instance when you hold on to your assumption and refuse to give
in, you reinforce that belief within you. Soon enough it takes your assumption
as true--and once it has, reality must adjust itself to it.
Desire fills the gap between what you want to do and what you are doing.
The Power of Faith Over Circumstances
Majority of the individuals are guided by what they see to become
believers. Neville was wrong, he told you that what you see is what you
believe.
By continuing to do so you are telling the universe:
My subjectivity is stronger than my outward testimony.
This undeterred belief makes your supposition to be a divine order. Your
condition of consciousness is reflected in the universe and the universe, in
turn, has no option but to react to it.
How to Practice Persistence in Assumption
The following is a simple step wise process that you can follow to be the
embodiment of persistence in your life:
1. Define Your Desire Clearly
Clearly state your desires. The more distinct your vision, the more you
are assumed. The love, success, health or peace, you need first, have to know
what exactly you want to appear.
2. Create the End Scene
Through imagination, create a small vivid image of a short scene that
supposes that you have your desire fulfilled.
For example:
Whereas imagine that you will get a congratulatory email, in case you
want to get a new job.
• When you want to be in a
relationship, you can think about spending time together in a happy moment.
• Imagine yourself full of energy
and gratitude, if you want to be healthy.
Experience the fact of that scene until it becomes emotional in you.
3. Presume the Experience of the Desire Met
Such is the spirit behind the approach of Neville, feel as though it has
already been done. The feeling of satisfaction is what leaves the assumption in
your subconscious mind.
Don’t focus on the “how.” Pay attention to the emotion of it is done.
4. Do Not Attend Contradictory Appearances.
The most difficult aspect of persistence is that even when your situation
does not match your will, you must disregard it. When you are showing off your riches,
yet you are still in debt- press on. And yet when you are showing love, but you
are lonely--do not give up.
When you are healing and you are still sick- persevere.
Old beliefs merely reflect temporarily in circumstances. With the
alteration of the inner condition the outer one is bound to follow.
5. Every day, repeat your hypothesis.
Confirm your supposition daily by:
• Prior to sleep
visualization (SATS technique of Neville)
• Statements that back up
your desires.
• Psychological dialogues,
which indicate your new reality.
The more you are in your fulfilled state, the quicker it becomes
established.
6. Detach from the Outcome
Determination does not equate to being obsessed. Detachment refers to
relying on the process and releasing desperation. You have done it, and you do
not follow it round after it; you live it as though you had it.
This natural confidence makes it possible to assume this.
Neville Goddard’s Teaching on Persistence
Neville repeatedly stressed that just being persistent is the distinction
between wishful thinking and creative faith.
He said:
When you continue making an assumption, it will come to pass. But when
you let it pass it will be a wish.
Most individuals give up too early just when their manifestation is about
to come. Reality frequently tries your faith by the bridges of incidences,
which appear contrary to what you want, but are bringing you there. Those who
do not give up during such times are finally rewarded as their assumptions are
realized.
Real-Life Example of Persistence
Suppose one of them is an actualization of a dream job. They fantasize
about every night, are confident, and submit applications. Weeks go by with no
results. However, when they carry on, when they still are employed and
grateful, the energy changes. Then, one of their friends happens to refer them
to an opportunity they had never thought of. They receive the offer within
days.
Trying to hold on prolonged the vibration further until reality could
come to grips with it.
The Psychology Behind Persistence
Psychologically, persistence is effective since it is in line with the
development of habits by the subconscious mind.
•
Repetition: Repetition is the mode of learning in the subconscious.
•
Emotion: The greater the emotion, the quicker the belief is created.
•
Focus: Dwell on nothing and you will make it your mental default.
Your movement of continuing your assumption will rewire your neural
pathways in your brain, slowly programming out of it the old limiting beliefs
that you held, replacing them with new empowering ones.
Spiritual Dimension of Persistence
Spiritually, being persistent is an act of faith and giving up. It
accepts that the creation is complete- you are not making something new, but
you are choosing a selection of a reality which is already present in the
infinite field.
Through perseverance, you are identifying with that character of yourself
who already possesses the desire. This change of consciousness makes it a part
of your physical life.
Challenges You’ll Face and How to Overcome Them
It is not necessarily an easy task to persist. You will experience
emotional and mental problems. Here’s how to overcome them:
1. Doubt and Fear
With any doubt, remember that appearances are deceitful. Affirm:
“My assumption is real. This will be proved in a few minutes by my
senses.
2. Impatience
Manifestation is a long process since it is subject to the physical plan.
Stay patient. Every day you continue, you get one day closer to it.
3. Emotional Exhaustion
It is true that perseverance can
be draining at times. Relax and get back to joy. Calm faith should lead
to persistence and not to hard work.
4. Negative Thoughts
Affirmations of your desired state should be used to replace negative
thoughts as soon as they occur. Your default mentality will change over time.
How Long Should You Persist?
Neville gave a straightforward response.
Until it becomes a habit, you must continue doing it.
You do not stop because time has come, you stop because the assumption
seems normal. Having gotten used to believing it, manifestation is unavoidable.
Benefits of Persistence in Assumption
Never giving up on assumption not only transforms your outside world but
also your inside world. Here are some major benefits:
1. Strengthened Faith
You build great spiritual confidence, as you realize that imagination is
a real-creator of reality.
2. Emotional Mastery
You get to know how to remain calm and grounded, no matter what is going
on.
3. Clearer Focus
Your mind gets disciplined and trained to think of what you want.
4. Manifestation Success
Assume constantly and you will always have it work out, and you have made
your fantasy become reality.
5. Personal Transformation
The more you continue to make better assumptions, the more you develop
into a better form of yourself, a tranquil, potent and awake one.

Quotes from Neville Goddard on Persistence
Another change of mind is a change of fate.
Unless you go on with your supposition, it will not solidify into
reality.
You need to be able to not just feel it once, you need to continue and
keep feeling it until it becomes part of your nature.
These are some of the reminders that persistence is not a matter of putting in effort, but a matter of being emotionally the same.
Conclusion
The manifestation process is not
speed-related, but rather a matter of a faithful persistence. The Law ofAssumption is a reward to those who stand firm with their belief in the world
despite what the world may be telling them.
When you do not give up, you say that
you have an inner vision stronger than your external life. You become the awake
designer to your existence, creating every moment with a definition of your
preferred state of existence.
The next time the sigh of doubt
speaks, then bear in mind: already in the invisible, your assumption is true.
Keep persisting. Keep believing. Live on the sentiment of the desire fulfilled.
Due to the fact that in due time, your
persistence will become solid somewhere and the reality you had envisioned will
face you, just as you had thought it would.
FAQ:
1. Shall I continue in several concomitant suppositions?
Yes, but begin with one great desire. Get it and increase it to others.
2. What do I do in the event that my reality becomes worse before it becomes better?
That’s common. It is usually the “middle ground between events reorganizing the situation. Calm down and continue, the new state is being born.
