Loving Yourself in manifestation
(adorable banner art by Nekosuke)
I, like most law of assumption content creators, preach self concept. I’ve talked in a previous post about what self concept is and little ways you can incorporate it into your daily life but today i want to emphasize the inner love and respect for yourself that manifestation both uses and heightens. (This is a bit of a ramble be aware)
in brief, since i have talked about it before, your dominant thoughts about yourself, what you are capable and deserving of, and how you see yourself in relation to others (all your self concept) reflect into the world around you (the 3D). Most of you should be familiar with this sentiment, it is a large part of LOA(ss) after all :3
This does not mean however, which the law of attraction community often misconstrue, that you have to feel good and amazing all the time. You do not have to be a ray of sunshine to manifest anything. You are allowed to have bad days, you are allowed to feel upset. The important part is that you KNOW you are a person worthy of respect, love and your desires.
something i love about law of assumption, is that many people come to this community and the law feeling lack - desperate for something or someone and believing they need it or them to be worthy, happy or even just okay. But with doing the techniques and really learning of the law, they create a good self concept and they realise their own worth and value.
Something i love about the law is the inner transformation you go through. Most people come to the law in a state of lack as they are desperate for someone or something and - though they may not realise it - believe this thing or person will make them worthy, happy or have value. Once they are introduced to self concept and really start applying it though, it really changes all of this: this feeling of inner fulfilment, happiness and worthiness just for being you! This feeling of content and happiness just for being me is unmatched, truly.
No person or thing is going to give you value, the only meaning or value assigned to anything is that which you give to it. And the person who deserves to be assigned the most value is YOU babe.
The neural pathways that we have built over time are mostly reflections of our societies’/community’s/family’s norms. Most societies preach being humble, not being overly optimistic, always looking for worst case scenario. As we grow up these dominant, core thoughts become reflected back to us. But, as put by bashar, this makes us belief thief’s. it’s silly but i think it’s important to learn that you do not have to hold on to anyone else’s beliefs. That which does not serve you, bye bye!
Of course i like to be humble, but i think it’s often pushed way further than that to not even believe in your own inherent worth in fear of being selfish. i choose to believe in my power, my looks, my personality and my worthiness. I am fully aware that i can have bad days and that things go wrong - and even though i’m sure i could manifest even this away, i prefer to live my life and have my world like this - but i refuse to have a mindset that always assumes the worst. after all, our assumptions reflect back in the 3D. You deserve to assume that things always work out for you and as you assume it so it shall be :)
quick side note, two affirmations that have really helped me to unlearn assuming the worst:
- All is well, all will be well
- Everything is always working out for me, no matter how it looks at any given point in time.
Okay, having discussed the importance of self concept and identifying with assumptions and beliefs that serve you, back to the main point of this sort of appreciation post. Though your journey may start from a state of lack, the change in self concept brings not only your manifestations but also so much happiness and fulfilment. Now this is gonna sound silly to longer time loa lovers as of course the whole point is to embody the state of wish fulfilled, and that’s gonna make you feel good, but i feel like many new manifestors - at least definitely me when i started - don’t realise the true fulfilment and happiness within yourself that this journey will give you.
What at first seems like a chore and silly little affirmations to get a goal, becomes little smiles throughout the day when i remember how happy i am to be me.
it is the greatest reward.

Your dreams are dreaming you back 
this is the funniest shit i’ve seen today LMAO😭
Okay, after reading your response to my ask (which was very helpful btw, so thank you so much for that ♡ I WILL stop overconsuming🫣) I couldn't help but wonder about something. So ofc, manifesting magical powers is possible too, so I'm wondering if manifestation would be made much...idk easier if a person were to just manifest a superpower like Essokinesis (the ability to control reality... like, Idk the Scarlet Witch with her chaos magic or something idk anything about her besides that lol) which SOUNDS REDUNDANT I KNOW. But it just seems like having that power would help you change anything, be it you/your 3d right before your very eyes, WITHOUT having to saturate your mind at all. AND I'M NOT ssaying this 'cause I'm lazy to put in the effort or anything, I'm just wondering if manifesting a power like this makes sense, so you can get whatever else you want from that point on🤷 I'm honestly surprised I've never seen anyone talk about doing this before.
Haha honestly this may be a controversial belief (idek why) but considering anything is possible i agree and believe it is possible to manifest powers. That being said, (this gonna make me sound so boring) i personally don’t really feel like having powers, so i can’t say i have given this much thought.
If you are at the point that you wanted to and feel capable of manifesting magical powers just to help you manifest and revise, i personally feel like you could also just put that belief into your manifestations being instant cause then you’ll also see the 3D change instantly/ in front of your eyes (it not entirely the same way though, idk depends on the person and the manifestation.)
Like honestly it is just what you prefer, and if it’s an avenue you feel like going down, go ahead!
I do want to point out that the more you manifest the less you have to saturate your mind because you get used to desiring, deciding and receiving, so if that’s what puts you off, manifesting doesn’t have to be hard work at all. I also really enjoy the process of saturating my mind so i am quite biased.
Love,

(i feel like that is such a formal outro for how casually and informally this post is written lol)
I've been seeing a lot of posts about people afraid that they might be manifesting wrong, but my question is; if you always tell yourself that you are indeed manifesting correctly when the thought that you aren't pops up, wouldn't that be enough to manifest correctly? even if you were by chance manifesting/doing something "wrong"?
Yes!! I used to have a post about this (not sure if i do anymore cause im reorganizing/updating my account) but yes.
It’s the law of assumption, the only rule is that that which you assume to be true (whether by saturating, genuinely believing, embodying the version of you that has it) is true.
There’s loads of different techniques to help you get there but if you keep telling yourself it’s not working, it’s not going to- because it’s literally your assumption that it won’t!! and that’s the law 😭!!
There is no manifesting wrong. There is only you getting in your own way and manifesting a different reality of you not having your desire because you tell yourself you can’t/don’t have it or you’re not doing it right.
telling yourself you have it and saying that’s enough, is enough.
Responding / Reacting to the 3D
hi lovelies!
today i want to talk about reacting to the 3D.
The first thing to say is that if you reacted to an unfavourable 3D it’s fine, as long as you pick yourself up and re-embody the REAL you, the version of yourself who has their desires. That being said, if you are constantly reacting to an unfavourable 3D, it’s causing you to spiral repeatedly e.t.c, you need to do some work on your self concept and really become internally the version of self who has your desires. Take it back to square 1 - the 3D does not matter.
So how do i react to unfavourable 3D?
i don’t. Well i wish i could say that but i am still working on it. However i have two main reactions:
1. Your assumptions are the only meaning anything has.
i remind myself that the only meaning anything has is the meaning I attach to it. As the creator, the perceiver, source - however you wish to identify yourself - you are the one who defines what anything means. Let me give an example
SP is not responding for multiple days - a reaction to this unfavourable 3D might be assuming they don’t like me and/or they don’t want to talk to me.
but as the creator YOU DECIDE it’s meaning. For this i usually go into the second part of my reaction
2. Who am i?
if i know that SP and i are, in imagination, in a committed relationship, then I know that this action means nothing. I know that my imagination is inevitable, that what i assume as true is reflected by the 3D.
therefore, who am i?
SP’s partner
I know that i am loved, i know SP loves me. SO i am not going to assume anything silly like that they don’t like me or don’t want to talk to me. I simply am not fazed by it at all.
If you like, you can also assign your own deeper explanation to it, like that SP is busy trying to plan a date for you guys etc. i personally don’t like to do this because i don’t want to too heavily attach myself to the 3D.
Is every interaction with the 3D a ‘reaction’?
No. One thing i see newer manifesters worry about is whether engaging in regular life counts as reacting.
for example if the 3D isn’t yet reflecting back the loving relationship and SP reaches out for a science project you are partnered in. You do not have to tell them you love them and act like you’re in a relationship - the 3D doesn’t matter. Responding ‘normally’ is fine, just enjoy talking to them and do not take anything to heart, because your assumptions are inevitable. Internally is where the change happens, you don’t need to do anything in the 3D.
When i talk about a reaction, i mean either internally or in the 3D properly reacting to unfavourable circumstances. whether it is attaching negative meaning to something that happened, or complaining about SP to friends. You KNOW the real story, so do not saturate your mind with unnecessary meanings and justifications for your manifestation being inevitable.
i don’t care if your SP says they hate you and never want to speak to you again, block you on everything or hell even hire a bodyguard to keep you away from them.
I had a person come crawling back repeatedly after saying they never want to speak to me again etc. Nami (namisw0rld on tiktok) also has amazing success stories like this that show that circumstances don’t matter (she tried to square up with his grandma, like bro).
The point is, to me, a reaction in this context is only when you allow yourself to slip back into the old version of yourself and accept any unfavourable behaviour as true or final. A reaction can be internal or external.
Sometimes, when things are unfavourable - especially at the start of your manifesting journey, negative things in the 3D can make everything feel pointless. But when you accept that you and your internal is all that matters, the 3D will no longer affect you, pinky promise.
Stay Consistent or Face the Consequences
Right, yes, mean title. But the truth is the law is always working perfectly. So to keep you in check here’s my lil story time of me falling off and facing the consequences (and how i’ve picked myself back up).
I have been talking to my SP for months. Now I won’t lie SP and I have a long history from before I knew the law, and I have greatly had to work on mental arguments etc as well as negative expectations. After 2-3 months we began talking properly, not just as friends, but still taking it slow. Two weeks ago he finally verbalised how he felt about me and it was AMAZING. But over the course of the last 3 months I have also been PARANOID. going through his followers/following, feeling insecure, “confronting” him about it all while also expecting him to react negatively.
And how do you think that went? negatively. And the more I allowed myself to get up all in the 3D, get mad etc, the law was working and he reflected my behaviours, he now did start interacting with the girls i was scared of. Finally a bomb dropped that in the last couple days he had started talking to another girl, one of the ones i kept looking up in my own time.
Of course I spiralled, and of course he was straight up mean, because all of this, were fears and paranoia that I was letting run rampant. The man who wants me and wants to do everything with me was gone because i fed and fed and fed myself this horrible version of him. So what else could the law do? my affirmations of him loving me did not outweigh the sheer amount of fear and overthinking i did about him.
It worked well enough that he told me he really did mean how he felt about me, yet that wasn’t stopping him from talking to another girl.
The simple fact is it’s all there. The reason he started acting different, the reason things didn’t go right or fast or blah blah, and guess what the reason was? Ding ding ding…. me. The constant fear about if he really liked me, about these other girls. And it hurt so bad - and worst of all I ruined my favourite day, valentine’s day!!
After spiralling, crying, complaining to all my friends (ughhh), swearing off of him… I did have to realise that it wasn’t his fault. He does love me, but the law is the law. I gave him no choice on how to act, i let my fears run rampant in my daily life every single day. I let myself go from being priority to being an insecure mess who didn’t feel good enough.
This story has a good end though, because the law is the law. Picking myself up and dusting myself off, at least i now have a very clear area to target with my affirmations and my story with him. Simply revise the situation, be true to how much he loves me, how all he does is tell this other girl how much he loves me ;). It really is that simple (I have manifested a LOT, I promise it really is).
Hold that mental diet up because you deserve to thrive, not be a side dish. Manifestation is easy, it’s up to you to hold yourself accountable.
PSA: do not now be terrified of every little negative thought you have, those don’t matter. I let my insecurities become my new story, 90% of my thoughts when i thought about us. You’re doing fine, just do right by yourself. <3
i've lost weight from the comfort of my bed while eating like shit, i've got accepted into programs without even applying, i've got promoted at work by doing the bare minimum, i've been gifted desired things i never mentioned wanting out loud, i've gotten money from the most random sources, i've changed my weight distribution, i've changed my height, i've changed my face, ive cured my dental problems, i've revised animal sickness, i've gotten my exact desired sp, i've gotten gaul citizenship, i've changed my grades, i've got my dream apartment, i've gained my exact desires friend group, i've gotten multiple free vacations... loa is literally the cheat code to life.
This is SUCH a good mindset <3
I really wanna help others more in manifestation but I got one:
Whenever you think of your desire, how about affirming "Atleast I have it in the 4D." ? I did the same thing when wanting a video game months ago, and I manifested it ( by finding money I had no idea I had all along, and I bought the game 3 days later. and during that month I was incredibly depressed, so you don't gotta be in a good mood )
I would always then feel relaxed or normal after affirming that. It also helped I already believe the 4D/my imagination is my true reality. Like how most people say they wish they could sleep forever cause their dream world is where they truly belong? Yeah that's me, except I'm now using that belief and using it to manifest that into the 3D/physical world 👀
So,, yeah I thought about this cause I saw a post of yours saying to just accept the 4D ( and that yeah ppl tend to overcomplicate it or make it seem like you gotta be some guru or something in order to manifest your desires ), and it's made me stop thinking on giving up.
omg thank you for sharing! and you're completely right, the key is acceptance and if that helps you then that is perfect! because acknowledging that its in the 4D ONLY is enough!!!
If you encounter resistance that's your sign to KEEP GOING.
The resistance IS the progress
If you feel discomfort when trying to embrace the new story don't get discouraged. It doesn't have anything to do with your ability and it doesn't mean you're doing something wrong.
The discomfort is proof that you are challenging your negative beliefs. Feeling discomfort is proof that you're doing something. Your brain is starting to integrate your new thought process and it is beginning to dismantle the old one. Your brain hates holding conflicting beliefs and it hates being wrong. The discomfort is NOT proof of failure, it's proof that your brain is considering what you're affirming.
consistency is not repeating 10k affirmations a day or sleeping every single night with an aff tape on.
consistency isn't overconsuming loass content.
consistency isn't waking up every morning forcing yourself to be positive (I'm looking at you, law of attraction.)
consistency is choosing to think in your favor for every moment, every minute of the day, in the face of anything the 3D shows.
thinking in your favor does not = repressing/toxic positivity
do not assign bad meanings to things.
example of what an inner dialogue may look like when you think in your favor
Damn, SP blocked me? Haha, I know I get what I want. But I can still acknowledge that I feel hurt and rejected and I feel that way because (here it comes - flipping the thought) I know I deserve better than this. I know that my dream self never faces rejection so let me be patient and reorder what I want from the universe. Let me recalibrate. I'm gonna just focus on reassuring myself, doing things I like - because the version of him that deserves me is on the way.
Do you see the nuance there? The difference between thinking in your favor vs not just having toxic positivity?
Guideline to example
Not repressing the emotions of hurt and rejection
Understanding that you give meaning to those feelings - do you believe them to be true or are you mature enough to understand that feelings are temporary and you must remain solid on what you believe despite what you feel?
Focusing on action YOU must take bc the only job is to change SELF
PERSISTENCE
