đź”´ Harness the Law of Assumption to Manifest Your Desires

The more Rosicrucian principles are analyzed, tested, and used in a practical and serious manner, the more enthusiastic members become and the more proficient they become in obtaining results.
You can use the principles of assumption to make your life happier, more contented, and truly more prosperous in the actual necessities and pleasures of life.
The proper way to make your life happier and more abundantly supplied with all the good things is to use the principles of assumption in just the right way.
Undoubtedly, each one of you knows of someone who represents your ideals of happiness, contentment, and health.
Many times, you may wish that you were like that person and could have the sweetness and goodness in life that such a person has.
Ignorant people will envy those who have health and happiness, whereas a mystic will not envy but rejoice in the fact that others have contentment, health, and the other blessings of life, and will try to emulate them and be like them.
Now, here is where the principles of assumption enter into our consideration.
We should not attempt to substitute ourselves for the people who are happy and contented, but we should create in our minds an ideal person who is enjoying the ideal things of life as we understand them.
First, we should create in our minds the picture of a person who is healthy, who always has a smile in their eyes and on their lips, a kind and encouraging word for everyone, and who has a comfortable home located in a peaceful and respectable area, with a happy, contented group of loved ones and a moderate but dependable income.
Such an ideal person can have many qualities and conditions that we can invent or imagine.
We can give such a person a beautiful singing voice, with which they entertain others and themselves, or a refinement in oratory.
We can give them many other special attributes that we consider necessary to our ideal of a happy person.
The next step after creating such an ideal in your mind is to use the principles of assumption to assume that you are gradually becoming that ideal person.
For hours each day, go about your affairs with the mental assumption that you actually are the ideal person you have pictured.
In other words, after you have built up a character—a personality—who is happy and contented in life and who has what you believe to be the ideal things in life, you should supplant your present self and conditions by assuming the ideal ones.
To be consistent and have the principles work properly, you must carry out your part of the assumption.
If you are assuming yourself to be the ideal happy, contented person, you must act that way during every hour you feel you are assuming that ideal character.
You must feel that you are healthy, happy, and contented; it must radiate from you with conviction as if it were absolutely true.
Such an ideal person could not be grouchy, complaining, fearful, worried, or envious; that would be a black mark upon the ideal picture you have made.
Therefore, your first step in carrying out your part of the assumption is to take on the characteristics and attitude and to carry out the actions of the ideal person you have invented.
It is as if you were writing a story for a novel, a film, or a play.
It is as though you put into your story an ideally happy, contented, prosperous person who spreads sunshine, peace, encouragement, and inspiration wherever they go.
Now, if you were called upon to act the part of that character in a stage play, you would not only have to use the words that such a person would use, but you would have to feel that character in every part of your consciousness.
Every little thought, look, and movement on your part would have to be consistent with the characteristics of that person.
In carrying out this assumption of such an ideal character day after day for some weeks, you will soon find that you are creating around you an environment and attracting to your surroundings the same prosperous, happy, and contented conditions that you visualize.
You will find that you are actually creating the very things you have wanted.
So, during the coming week, I suggest that every day for a few hours, you throw yourself into this ideal character and let your whole thinking and acting be changed by this characterization of your ideally happy person.
You will find it will have a great psychological and cosmic effect on your thinking, affecting your health and attracting many pleasant things that will make your days and hours happier and more contented.
You should begin the work this week by assuming the characteristics of this ideal person for a few hours each day, especially during those hours when you are alone and can carry out the part without attracting attention.
Working with these new principles of assumption, you may find it will open a new vista and a new field of possibility.
You must remember that of all the creatures created by the Divine, human beings are the only ones that possess creative power in a mental and psychic form.
This creative power is part of the Divine Consciousness in us, and it is this element of divine consciousness that distinguishes humans from all other creatures or all other living things in any of the other living being kingdoms.
Whatever a person thinks, concentrates upon, and simultaneously directs their creative consciousness toward becomes a manifest thing somewhere in the world.
Every time someone intelligently, deliberately, and knowingly sits down, meditates, concentrates, and mentally creates something, they are sending forth the thought form of their creation, and this thought form will become a materialized actuality somewhere, sometime.
We discover from our use of this power that it cannot be used inversely or wrongly.
A creative power is something entirely different from a destructive power.
The creative power of our consciousness cannot be inverted or perverted to send forth destructive thoughts, forms, or vibrations.
Everything that emanates from the consciousness of a person and becomes a thought form that will carry on and on until it is made manifest must be constructive and creative, not destructive.
This is why you cannot injure another person mentally or through any formula or mental process.
The cosmic principles that cooperate in keeping a person in tune with the creative power of the universe are so harmonized that any destructive thought or attempt at a destructive application of power simply neutralizes itself.
This creative divine power within you is under your immediate control all the time.
It can be used to create or recreate new cells and new conditions in your body, or to recreate and create new things outside of your body.
From the truly esoteric and metaphysical point of view, there is no difference between concentrating upon some cells in the body to join together in healing a wound or curing a disease and concentrating upon constructive waves to leave the mind and go forth into space to construct something.
When you use the law of assumption in connection with your creative power and consciousness, it may seem like you are performing a natural miracle.
In fact, it is not a miracle at all but a natural procedure.
You are putting yourself in the place of someone else and then using the creative power to carry out the idea that is in your consciousness.
Therefore, throughout your work with the law of assumption, remember that when you choose an ideal person or idealized type of life or condition, you must remember that while you are concentrating upon this ideal condition and visualizing the things that it should have or should be, you are creating something that someday will make itself manifest to you.
Use these principles this coming week to recreate ideal conditions around you.
Select the life of someone you believe is ideal and be that person for a while, thinking as they think, creating as they create, and at the same time holding fast to your ideals.
This will enable you to psychically enter many of the ideals or fixed conditions that you wish to have manifest in your life.
If some are slow in becoming materialized in your life, you will know that it is because the cosmic is not quite ready for you to have the things you are seeking, but that in good time and in unexpected ways, the thought forms you are sending forth will come back and bring with them the happiness and contentment you have been trying to secure.
While you are concentrating or visualizing yourself as being another person, you must get rid of the idea in your mind that there are two persons involved in the formula—you and the other person.
You must not have a thought in your mind that you and the other person have exchanged places, and that now you are in the other person’s place and they are in yours.
Such a thought continues the idea of two persons and the duality of existence of the two.
During the assumption, the one uppermost thought in your mind must be that there is only one person, and you are that one person.
The other person is therefore temporarily out of existence, out of your mind, as though you have never heard of them or never knew them.
This singleness of identity is the great secret point in the process.
There must be but one person of whom you are conscious, and that person is this new combination that has been founded by the assumption.
Now, keep these points in mind during the coming week and continue experimenting with the laws of assumption, for we are going to carry this formula through, examine it, and analyze its usefulness and application in many ways.
You will soon find that you have in your hands a marvelous key for producing many marvelous effects.
To your success,
