Confused about Law of Assumption vs. Law of Attraction? This guide breaks down the key differences, similarities, and how to use both for manifestation
Introduction
If you’ve explored manifestation, you’ve likely heard of the Law of Attraction (LOA) and the Law of Assumption (LOAssump). While both are powerful tools for creating your reality, they operate differently—and understanding these differences can supercharge your results.
In this guide, we’ll compare:
✔️ Core principles of each law
✔️ Key differences in techniques and mindset
✔️ Which one works faster (and for whom)
Let’s dive in!
1. What Is the Law of Attraction?
Definition: “Like attracts like.” Your thoughts and emotions magnetize corresponding experiences.
Core Beliefs:
- Vibration is key: Align your energy with what you want.
- Focus on desire: Visualize, affirm, and feel as if it’s coming.
- Divine timing: The Universe delivers when the time is right.
Popularized by: “The Secret” (2006), Abraham-Hicks teachings.
Example:
To attract money, you’d:
- Repeat affirmations (“I am abundant”).
- Feel gratitude for money you will receive.
- Trust the Universe to provide.
2. What Is the Law of Assumption? (Law of Attraction)
Definition: “Assume the feeling of your wish fulfilled.” Your subconscious beliefs shape reality.
Core Beliefs:
- Subconscious rules: Your dominant assumptions manifest.
- Live “as if” now: Not “waiting” but being the person who has it.
- No “how” needed: The 3D world must conform to your assumption.
Popularized by: Neville Goddard (1905–1972).
Example:
To manifest money, you’d:
- Assume you’re already wealthy (e.g., spend confidently, decline “lack” talk).
- Ignore current bank balance (it’s “old reality”).
- Persist until the 3D world reflects your assumption.

3. Key Differences Compared
| Aspect | Law of Attraction | Law of Assumption |
|---|---|---|
| Focus | Aligning energy with desire | Assuming desire is already true |
| Role of Action | Inspired action encouraged | Action is optional (mindset > doing) |
| Timeframe | “It’s coming” (future-based) | “It’s here now” (present-based) |
| Techniques | Vision boards, gratitude lists | Mental diet, SATS (sleep technique) |
| Biggest Pitfall | Waiting for external validation | Doubting your assumption |
4. Which One Works Faster?
- LOA is great for beginners (structured, emotional).
- LOAssump works faster for those who can fully believe their assumption.
Case Study:
- LOA user affirms “Love is coming” but still feels lonely.
- LOAssump user acts as if in a relationship (e.g., buys two coffee cups), sees results quicker.
5. Can You Use Both Together?
Yes! Hybrid approach:
- Assume your desire is true (LOAssump).
- Feel the joy of it (LOA).
- Let go of “how” it arrives.
Example: To manifest a job:
- Assume you’re hired (update LinkedIn, tell friends).
- Feel grateful for the job (LOA gratitude practice).
6. Common Mistakes to Avoid
❌ LOA: Obsessing over “when” it’ll happen (creates resistance).
❌ LOAssump: Checking the 3D world for proof (undermines assumption).
Fix: Trust the process. If you assume it’s done, stop “looking.”
Final Thoughts
- Prefer structure? Use LOA.
- Want faster results? Try LOAssump.
- Best combo: Assume + feel.
