Erin Gray (00:00):
Today on the podcast, I want to talk about the power
of assumption.
This comes from the book byNeville Goddard, The Power of
Awareness.
And we're going to explore howwhat you assume is actually what
you create in your business, inyour marriage, with your
children, with your money, withyour health, basically your
entire life.
So let's dive in.
(00:20):
Real quick, I wanted to add thatI am hosting a workshop
tomorrow, Tuesday, December 16that 10 a.m.
Mountain Standard Time.
And it is going to be about howto have conversations with your
spouse from a place of more loveand more connection and
compassion.
I would love for you to join us.
And if you want to come, you canjust click the link to register
in the show notes.
(00:42):
So one of the very first thingsthat I have my clients do when
they come into my world is todevelop awareness because
without awareness, we can't makeany changes.
So awareness is always what Isay, the first step to anything.
And when I start to have themnotice and increase their
awareness, I have them do twothings.
One, to start paying attentionto their language, because our
(01:04):
language is so powerful.
I know I've talked about thisbefore, is that our language
carries a frequency, it carriesa vibration.
When we speak things into theworld, it we also our cells
verberate that vibration.
So when we say loving things toourselves, our cells expand, our
cells grow, our cells love that.
(01:26):
When we speak poorly andcondescending to ourselves, our
cells also respond to that andthey shrink.
And, you know, that's I don'twant to get into too far down
the rabbit hole, but like therehas been a YouTube video that a
scientist did around likespeaking to water and how when
(01:46):
we spoke lovingly to water, howit made these beautiful droplets
and and all this kind of, Ithink he like froze the water,
but you could see likebeautifulness of the water.
But then when you spoke poorlyto it, what actually happened to
the water?
And so our bodies are made up ofwater.
And you know, you can do thiswith plants, like you can play
(02:08):
with this in all the differentrealms.
But like when you speak thingsfrom a loving and expansive,
empowering way, your bodyreceives that and you are moving
from a very empowered place.
When you speak, like I said,condescending and not kindly to
yourself or about anyone else,like, you know, the law of
(02:29):
attraction or vibration is likewhat you put out is what you get
back.
So first and foremost, start tonotice what your language is
like.
Second is your assumptions.
You know, most of us areassuming the worst.
We're expecting when's the shoegonna drop.
Like you don't think it's gonnahappen.
We have so much doubt and fearfor ourselves while not really
(02:49):
hoping for the best, right?
Because when we hope, when wehope for the best, when we
assume the best, when we knowthe best is on its way, we
aren't sitting here in doubt.
And so it doesn't work like thatin the world of like, oh, we are
moving, you know, from anassumption of the shoe is gonna
drop and then, you know,wonderful things are going to
(03:09):
come our way.
And Neville writes in the bookthat a man's chief delusion is
his conviction that there arecauses other than his own state
of consciousness.
So we keep looking outside ofourselves.
We've been taught as a societyin in schools, in you know,
parents, caregivers, all thethings culturally, right?
(03:31):
That, oh, look outside ofyourself for the answer, look
outside of yourself for thepower versus recognizing that
the power is already within eachof us.
You know, we can change anythingthat we want in our life.
And it begins in the mind first,in the consciousness that we
exhibit first.
And we have to want somethingdifferent.
That's what Neville starts with.
We have to desire somethingdifferent.
(03:51):
And I think that that is a truefirst step.
The first step is wanting anddesiring something different.
But I think it goes even deeperthan this is like you have to be
willing, right?
Wanting is like sitting therehoping, desiring for something
different.
Willing is I'm willing to takeaction to be something
different.
(04:12):
You know, people always ask mewhen they interview me on
podcasts, you know, what type ofclient do you love to work with?
And obviously, someone, youknow, who wants to change their
relationship with money andexpand their life and have fun.
But the thing that I always comeback to is they have to be
willing.
You know, wanting and willingare two very different things.
(04:34):
You can want and desire tochange all day long.
I've had clients like that.
I've had people in my life likethat, have had friends like
that.
You can want and desire, but ifyou're not willing to feel the
discomfort or doing somethingoutside of your comfort zone or
your current identity, wantingdoes not get you very far.
(04:54):
Desire is the first step andwillingness is the second.
So Neville goes on to say thatin order to make your future
dream a present fact, youactually must live in the
assumption of the wishfulfilled, meaning that you must
be living from the feeling ofthe outcome that you desire, not
from the feeling of where youare and what you are observing
(05:14):
in your 3D world, because thatis just going to create more of
the same.
So think about what you desirein your business right now.
Are you moving from gratitude?
Are you moving from expectation?
Or are you moving from lack andit's taking too long and
pressure?
What kind of energy are youmoving from?
Because that is not moving.
If you are moving from lack orit's taking too long or, you
(05:37):
know, pressure, that is notmoving from the energy of the
wish fulfilled, right?
Because if you already had whatyou wanted, there would be no
pressure.
You would just be in completegratitude, and then you would be
looking at the next thing thatyou would be wanting and moving
towards.
So let's actually bring thisinto the body because I think we
can understand this from anintellectual standpoint.
(05:58):
But actually, like where weactually make changes is when we
take it into the body, we embodythis and we move and we take
action from this place.
So if you assumed and you knewthat your business was going to
grow year over year, whatdifferent choices would you be
making?
What would you outsource?
How much time would you spend asa CEO instead of more of the
(06:20):
employee role?
Would you plan ahead withconfidence and trust?
Would you be thinking more inthe five year, ten year, like
you've already accomplished whatyou wanted already, you know,
next year?
So what would you be thinkingabout?
You would be thinking morevision casting, thinking about
years to come.
Because what I see in most womenis we are not moving from the
(06:40):
assumption.
We're actually moving from thelack of assumption, or we're
moving from doubt or worry orfear.
You know, things like I don'tknow, like you can start there.
As soon as you say, I don'tknow, that isn't moving from the
assumption.
I don't know if my income isgoing to increase, so I'm not
going to hire any help, or I'mgoing to wait to hire, right?
I don't know if thisinvestment's going to pay off,
(07:01):
so I might wait.
Think about anytime that you arewaiting, you are not moving from
certainty.
Now, obviously, this is nuanced.
Like when I have heard myintuition and I am sitting with
it and riding my wave, but myintuition says yes, but I'm
getting to a neutral point in mybody.
That isn't waiting.
(07:21):
That is riding my wave.
But once I have ridden my waveand it feels neutral in my body,
I go.
So really, really decipher andsee like where does this apply
to you?
Where are you waiting?
Where are you hoping?
Where are you?
Oh, maybe next month or nextyear, versus where have you said
yes to something?
And you're literally justallowing yourself to sink into
(07:44):
the decision, and then you'regoing to move from certainty
instead of hesitancy.
So if you, you know, I hear alot of women say things like, I
don't know if I'm going to makemy money back.
So I'm not going to invest, youknow, in this, you know, say
employee or this mentor orcourse or whatever it might be.
And I want you to really thinkabout this because one of the
(08:05):
things that I encourage everyoneto recognize is we are our best
investment.
I have a belief now, didn'talways, but I always make my
money back.
Like I am my best investmentbecause I have total control
over my mind, my thoughts, myfeelings, what I want to do and
what I like actions I want totake.
I don't have control over thestock market.
(08:26):
I don't know when fear is goingto be imposed in the stock
market and things are going tochange.
I have no control over thingslike that.
I don't have any control overanybody else's business.
So when you really think aboutlike you are the one that is in
control, you are in the driver'sseat.
You have total power of makingit an investment back.
So why wouldn't you just bet onyourself and assume that that's
(08:47):
what's going to happen?
So when you are moving from thatplace of like, I don't know,
that's the energy of uncertaintyand doubt and not the energy of
knowing.
Neville shares this metaphor inthe book that just as the moth
in his desire to know the flamewas willing to destroy himself,
so must you in becoming a newversion and a new person, being
(09:08):
willing to die to your presentself.
And I think this is somethingthat we don't talk a lot about
or enough about is the griefthat actually comes with
evolution.
You know, we imagine this idea,like we a lot of times we want
to just imagine all of the, whenI say good, I don't believe
there's good or bad, but likejust imagine all the rainbows
and the daisies and theexpansion.
(09:30):
But often there are parts of usthat actually don't want to let
go because those are the partsthat feel familiar.
They feel safe, they feelprotective for us, right?
And we need to honor that.
We need to thank those parts ofus that got us here and still be
willing to move into the nextversion of ourselves.
Neville writes that to incarnatea new and greater value of
(09:53):
yourself, you must assume thatyou already are what you want to
be, and then live by faith inthat assumption, which is not
yet incarnate in the body ofyour life, meaning that it's not
yet showing up in the 3D world.
I had a client the other daywhere we were discussing this
and kind of diving deeper,because I think a lot of times
(10:13):
people might get this at anintellectual level, but we don't
actually embody it and takeaction from this place.
You know, in order to bridge thegap, in order to move and to
collapse time and your realityof what you see in your mind to
what you actually experience andwhat you're observing with your
senses in the 3D world, you haveto stay in your imagination and
(10:37):
basically ignore your 3D worlds.
And you have to continue to livein the vibration and the feeling
of what you are thinking andseeing in your imagination.
I think the strongest musclethat we have to build is to hold
that vision, even when our 3Dworld didn't match our
imagination.
You know, not, I don't, thisfeels too strong of a word, but
(10:58):
like not falling prey to the 3Dworld or like not allowing our
mind or to allow our mind to runthe show that that we're
observing the 3D world, to knowthat if we can see it in our
mind, we can feel that feelingof the wish fulfilled and
multiple feelings, right?
Like if you had what you wantedalready, you would feel
(11:18):
gratitude, you would feel love,you would feel peacefulness, you
would feel, you know, proud andsuccessful and satisfied.
So think about what are thosefeelings, and not just going to
be one feeling, but you know,thinking about those feelings on
a consistent basis and not justthinking.
When I say thinking about them,what I mean is what would be
those feelings and then actuallyfeeling them in your body on a
(11:39):
consistent basis, you know, andthen taking action from that
place until it shows up in the3D world, right?
Like not giving up on yourself,not being, not being attached to
time, not being attached to how,but just knowing that it is done
and that you are living fromthat place in complete love and
gratitude and appreciation forhaving created what you wanted.
(12:00):
I'll give you an example for mycar.
You know, I had ordered oneoriginally and then for whatever
reason it fell through, whichwas a blessing because I ended
up deciding that I wanted adifferent model.
And so as I said, okay, I wantto purchase this one instead,
you know, the the sales rep, myhusband, my daughter were a
(12:20):
little bit like, they're notmaking those.
And you're gonna be six to sixto nine months out.
And I'm like, I am not listeningto anything either of all three
of you are saying.
It was more so the sales rep.
And, you know, my husband hadmade a comment about like, well,
maybe you get a different car inthe meantime.
And I was like, no, that's notwhat I want.
I want this car.
(12:41):
I know that I see it in my mindand I know that I will have it.
So whether they believe it ornot, just because it isn't in
the 3D world, I know that it isin my mind and I know that it is
on its way to me.
And so it just so happened thatprobably a couple of weeks
later, he called and said, Hey,I've got this car for you.
You want to come drive it?
(13:01):
And when I when after wepurchased it, what I found out
was I said, Hey, how did thiscar come about?
Because, you know, like thestory he was telling himself was
that there were no cars, theyweren't going to be made.
I was gonna have to order and bein line for six to nine months.
And he said, A deal fellthrough.
And after that deal fellthrough, I called you.
(13:21):
And so what would it have beenlike if I would have
compromised, if I would havebeen like, okay, I'll just get a
different car, right?
Like, how much of what we don'texperience in our life is
actually because we change ourmind, because we are the ones
that stray off of what weactually want.
Because, and I've done this somany times.
Oh, well, this will do over whatI really want.
(13:44):
No, stay the course, hold thevision, keep moving from that
place, expect that it is alreadyon its way to you.
So, the other thing that Iwanted to mention that Neville
mentions in his book is that hetalks about how that nature does
not possess imagination.
We do.
This is where I think that weare so precious and so
brilliant.
Our imagination, it is theinstrument by which we create
(14:05):
our world.
Imagination is the redemptivepower in the universe.
So I want to leave you with acouple of questions today.
I want you to think about howoften are you living from your
imagination instead of yourmemory in the past?
How often are you feeling thefeelings you would feel if you
already had what you desired?
(14:26):
How often are you moving fromcertainty?
Notice where you are alreadydoing this in your life because
that's another thing I love toshare with my clients.
We already know how to do this.
It's not like I'm teaching youto do anything else.
I'm helping you remember who youalready are and you already are
doing this, and already, this isalready part of who you are.
You just may not be doing it insome of the areas of your life.
(14:47):
So notice where you're alreadydoing it in your one area of
your life.
And then what I always say toclients is just move it to the
area that you're not aspracticed in.
That's all that we're gonna do.
How often are you assuming yourfavorite outcome instead of
bracing for the worst?
And then think about who youmight you return home to be if
you are willing to hold theassumption of your wish
fulfilled.
(15:08):
Okay, that's all I have for youtoday.
I love you.
I'm rooting for you, and I'llsee you in the next episode.
Today on the podcast, I want to talk about the power
of assumption.
This comes from the book byNeville Goddard, The Power of

And we're going to explore howwhat you assume is actually what

So think about what you desirein your business right now.
Are you moving from gratitude?
Are you moving from expectation?
Or are you moving from lack andit's taking too long and
pressure?
What kind of energy are youmoving from?
Because that is not moving.
If you are moving from lack orit's taking too long or, you
(05:37):
know, pressure, that is notmoving from the energy of the

Because if you already had whatyou wanted, there would be no

and the daisies and theexpansion.

They feel safe, they feelprotective for us, right?

You know, not, I don't, thisfeels too strong of a word, but
(10:58):
like not falling prey to the 3Dworld or like not allowing our
mind or to allow our mind to runthe show that that we're
observing the 3D world, to knowthat if we can see it in our
mind, we can feel that feelingof the wish fulfilled and
multiple feelings, right?
Like if you had what you wantedalready, you would feel
(11:18):
gratitude, you would feel love,you would feel peacefulness, you
would feel, you know, proud andsuccessful and satisfied.
So think about what are thosefeelings, and not just going to
be one feeling, but you know,thinking about those feelings on
a consistent basis and not justthinking.
When I say thinking about them,what I mean is what would be
those feelings and then actuallyfeeling them in your body on a
(11:39):
consistent basis, you know, andthen taking action from that
place until it shows up in the3D world, right?
Like not giving up on yourself,not being, not being attached to
time, not being attached to how,but just knowing that it is done
and that you are living fromthat place in complete love and
gratitude and appreciation forhaving created what you wanted.
(12:00):
I'll give you an example for mycar.
You know, I had ordered oneoriginally and then for whatever
reason it fell through, whichwas a blessing because I ended
up deciding that I wanted adifferent model.
And so as I said, okay, I wantto purchase this one instead,
you know, the the sales rep, myhusband, my daughter were a
(12:20):
little bit like, they're notmaking those.
And you're gonna be six to sixto nine months out.
And I'm like, I am not listeningto anything either of all three
of you are saying.
It was more so the sales rep.
And, you know, my husband hadmade a comment about like, well,
maybe you get a different car inthe meantime.
And I was like, no, that's notwhat I want.
I want this car.
(12:41):
I know that I see it in my mindand I know that I will have it.
So whether they believe it ornot, just because it isn't in
the 3D world, I know that it isin my mind and I know that it is
on its way to me.
And so it just so happened thatprobably a couple of weeks
later, he called and said, Hey,I've got this car for you.
You want to come drive it?
(13:01):
And when I when after wepurchased it, what I found out
was I said, Hey, how did thiscar come about?
Because, you know, like thestory he was telling himself was
that there were no cars, theyweren't going to be made.
I was gonna have to order and bein line for six to nine months.
And he said, A deal fellthrough.
And after that deal fellthrough, I called you.
(13:21):
And so what would it have beenlike if I would have
compromised, if I would havebeen like, okay, I'll just get a
different car, right?
Like, how much of what we don'texperience in our life is
actually because we change ourmind, because we are the ones
that stray off of what weactually want.
Because, and I've done this somany times.
Oh, well, this will do over whatI really want.
(13:44):
No, stay the course, hold thevision, keep moving from that
place, expect that it is alreadyon its way to you.
So, the other thing that Iwanted to mention that Neville
mentions in his book is that hetalks about how that nature does
not possess imagination.
We do.
This is where I think that weare so precious and so
brilliant.
Our imagination, it is theinstrument by which we create
(14:05):
our world.
Imagination is the redemptivepower in the universe.
So I want to leave you with acouple of questions today.
I want you to think about howoften are you living from your
imagination instead of yourmemory in the past?
How often are you feeling thefeelings you would feel if you
already had what you desired?
(14:26):
How often are you moving fromcertainty?
Notice where you are alreadydoing this in your life because
that's another thing I love toshare with my clients.
We already know how to do this.
It's not like I'm teaching youto do anything else.
I'm helping you remember who youalready are and you already are
doing this, and already, this isalready part of who you are.
You just may not be doing it insome of the areas of your life.
(14:47):
So notice where you're alreadydoing it in your one area of
your life.
And then what I always say toclients is just move it to the
area that you're not aspracticed in.
That's all that we're gonna do.
How often are you assuming yourfavorite outcome instead of
bracing for the worst?
And then think about who youmight you return home to be if
you are willing to hold theassumption of your wish
fulfilled.
(15:08):
Okay, that's all I have for youtoday.
I love you.
I'm rooting for you, and I'llsee you in the next episode.
