The High Cost of Practicing Assumption (LOA)
There is no free lunch. Even practicing the Law of Assumption has a high price. Deciding what you really want takes time. You can't just say, "I want to marry Harry, " or "I vant to be alone." You really have to figure out what it is that you do desire, what would be your salvation.
For instance, Harry is sovereign God also, so you can't just dictate his life. What you want is the delight, the security, the pride, and the love of marriage. And the right, happy husband. That takes minutes to figure out. Maybe an hour, if Harry is really cute. And you do not want to be alone. You are thinking about all the people buzzing around and interrupting your peace. Thinking about that will only get you more of the same -- vanting to be alone. You vant, er, want to enjoy the FEELING of quiet and solitude, peace and serenity. Wrap yourself up in that and you will have it, and enjoy it.
Furthermore, after you have decided upon what you really want, you have to determine what small action you must do, consequential to your receiving your desire, that signifies you HAVE received it. Breathing in the smells of fresh leather upholstery may get you rides in your best friend's a new car (he or she won't even know to thank you), but accepting the keys, receipt, and a handshake would get you your own. Remember the woman who wanted work: she got plenty of projects to help on, then realized that she really wanted PAY -- checks in hand along with all the appreciation. Neville imagined being home from the Army not on furlough, but to stay -- honorably discharged. You have to design the action to cover all you want to convey.
A routine expense may be the practice of reviewing your day to revise the hiccups and disappointments. If your life really sucks, this could entail revising everything. How do you do that before going to sleep? I think that if you select the one really big thing that went wrong and work on revising that, ending with the feeling of elation, "Isn't it wonderful!" the other things will get covered in the blanket of everything having gone right in the day.
And there is praying for others, too. Imagining better that the best for them, the ill healthy and the poor rich, the unemployed fully employed and the uncared for cared for -- praising and thanking God for his goodness and love -- takes time and energy. Especially if he anoints you to do what you desire of him.
What would it be like if you really were and really had what you want? Can you picture it? Sense it? Feel it? Can you enter that scene AS that person? I.e, you really him or her, really there, really enjoying it. Stay there. Look around. Enjoy it, and marvel. Nice to be there. Wonderful. And can you remember here? "Oh, yeah, I remember being him or her, the time when I wanted this. I'm just so glad to have it now, to be this now." Look at it now, be there, and remember when.
Not only this, you need to be faithful to what you have become and your new experience in spite of your continuing circumstances. Things take time to develop. You have to believe that they ARE, that YOU are.
All this costs much. It takes time and doing. You actually have to think, plan, design, and imagine. And manage your going to sleep. No, it doesn't cost any money; it is free for the doing, but you have to actually DO it. The only way to do it is to do it. It doesn't do itself.
PS: There is a much higher cost to NOT practicing the Law of Assumption.
