The subject of free will is definitely one of the most misunderstood concepts of the law of assumption. And with so many “law of attraction” coaches that present themselves as experts, saying that people do have free will, certainly emphasize the confusion. So, even though I’ve already written on the topic of free will before, in this article, I wanted to discuss it a little bit deeper for a full circle on this topic.

The Illusion of Free Will

The illusion of the free will to do is but ignorance of the law of assumption upon which all action is based. Neville Goddard

As you’re waking up in the morning you have the free will to decide if you want to get out of bed or not. Then, if you decide to get out of bed, you have the free will to decide what you want to wear and what you want to have for breakfast. You have the free will to be kind or to be rude to people, you have the free will to go for a walk or to go for a ride. You even feel that you have the free will to go for a particular career or job, and so forth. But even those smilingly choices are based on something much bigger than them, they are based on the STATE that you are in. Because the state that you are in will determine what actions you are going to take. In other words, the state that you are in will push itself out in your external world. And from there, the seemingly free will that you have is just an illusion as Neville said.

So, in the end, even the smallest actions that we take every day based on our “free will” are dictated by the state we are dwelling in.

In my last podcast where I was discussing states, I mentioned how once upon a time I inherited some money. However, because I had never left the state of being broke and the state of lack that I was in, that money that I could have multiplied by taking the right actions, was actually completely gone in about 4 years, leaving me even worst than before. Why did that money disappear rather than grow? Because from the state of lack that I was in, I kept making wrong decisions both for my business and other things. It would have appeared that I had the free will to make the decisions I made, but I didn’t. The truth is that I could ONLY make decisions based on my state of lack and being broke. That state drove me to take the wrong step every time, so I could get rid of that money as fast as possible. And I did.

This is how it works for everything and for every state. You are under the impression that you have free will, but you don’t. Your free will is one hundred percent dependent on your state. And you can’t possibly take action based on a state that you’re not in. This is why the state you’re in is of the utmost importance.

Do Other People have Free Will?

You do not have to be concerned about influencing others, as they are not the cause. Your imaginal act is! Those who have a billion dollars are not causing your world. You and you alone are doing it, and your imaginal acts influence people. Everyone is yourself pushed out, so when you imagine, you are influencing yourself. Neville Goddard

You are not forcing anyone to do anything. You are not influencing anyone. But, by law, people have no choice but to project your thoughts and beliefs back to you. The reason why this is the case it’s because they don’t have any free will. People in your reality don’t have free will. Not because we’re saying so, but because this IS so.

When you began that beautiful relationship with your sp, they were head over heels in love with you, but then that sp dumped you just a few months later for no logical reasons. This is the perfect illustration that people in your reality don’t have free will. In this case, you can see very clearly that your specific person doesn’t have any free will, but to play the role that you have given them.

Did you give them the role to leave you consciously? No, of course not, but you’ve given them that role according to the state you were dwelling in. Because you were dwelling in a state of not being good enough in all its multiple facets, you’ve manifested your partner getting colder and colder to the point of not wanting to be with you anymore. And one day, boom, your imaginal act hardened into fact, and they left.

Back then, you had no idea about what was unfolding behind the scene, but looking back, after having discovered the law of assumption thanks to your painful experience, you were able to trace back your thoughts and frame of mind, and now, you can fully understand what happened.

If instead of being in a state of not being good enough, you had been in a state of being complete, loved, and desired…, your sp wouldn’t have and couldn’t have acted the same way they did according to your state of not being good enough. This doesn’t only apply to our romantic partners, by the way, it applies to everyone in your reality. People in our reality will always mirror the content of our consciousness.

Every One Is YOURSELF Pushed Out

As Neville said, in the quote above, everyone is yourself pushed out, so when you imagine, you are influencing yourself, and by influencing yourself, you are influencing others by default. It is not a matter of deciding that you don’t want to influence people and believe that they do have free will, because THE LAW will contradict you. We influence people by default because of what we are imagining. Other people are never to blame, our imagination is. When people act a certain way towards you, you are the source of it.

As I have mentioned several times before in my content, I was the queen of creating people who betrayed me, abandoned me, disappointed me, and took advantage of me in one what or another. I had embodied the state of being a victim. So, for decades, I was the victim of people in my reality, never realizing that I was doing it to myself. I had created the subconscious belief, as a child, that people were not to be trusted and could be harmful, so they were. People in my reality had no choice but to play the role I gave them.

However, today, having embodied a completely different state, I do no longer create those behaviors. I do no longer imagine myself to be a victim, therefore, I am no longer one.

Your SP is Waiting for YOU

To attempt to change the world before we change our inner talking is to struggle against the very nature of things. Man can go round and round in the same circle of disappointments and misfortunes, not seeing them as caused by his own negative inner talking, but as caused by others. Neville Goddard

Every day I read people’s messages, emails, and other comments that imply that their sp is eluding them. But no one is eluding you but YOURSELF. The main reason why you’re not with your sp right now, it’s because you are dwelling in an opposite state from that which you need to be in order to manifest the relationship that you want. Your inner talking, your thinking, and your feelings are not matching your desire. This is the reason why you have the illusion that your sp is avoiding you, but the cause comes from within you.

So, if you want to be with your specific person, you need to start BEING with them in your imagination by embodying the state of being in that relationship. Once you embody a state within, your external world will match that state. Right now, you may believe that it’s up to your sp to come towards you, but the truth is that it’s YOU who is preventing them because you are not dwelling in a state that matches your desire to be with them. Thus, THEY, being YOU pushed out, have no choice but to be where you are keeping them. That situation is not caused by them, no matter how strong the illusion. It is caused by you. The moment you embody the state of your desire fulfilled, your state will harden into fact in your physical world. It will because it is law.

The power is within you. How you and other people react in your physical world is all controlled by your imagination. So just go there, and imagine what you want to be and have, and dwell in that state as much as possible. And no matter what your 3D circumstances look like at the moment, your inner world will externalize according to what you are imagining, regardless of any so-call free will, whether it’s your own or that of others.

One of the most difficult concepts to understand, even for people in the manifesting community, it’s the concept of free will. Do we impede the free will of other people when we manifest a specific person? Do we manipulate people? Is it ethical to manifest a specific person? These are some of the questions that you’ll never get the answers to anywhere, but in the Neville Goddard’s teaching/manifesting community, so if you are here already, but still can’t quite wrap your head around this, keep on reading.

Separation is an Illusion

The illusion of the free will to do is but ignorance of the law of assumption upon which all action is based… The whole vast world is yourself pushed out. – Neville Goddard

The world as you see it and the people in it is YOU pushed out. Even though it feels that the events happening around you and the people coming into your life are independent of you, they are not. You are everyone and everything pushed out. And the way people showed up in your life, or left your life, long before you even knew about manifesting, were yourself pushed out. While it seemed that people around you acted upon their own free will, they could only act toward you according to your-self.

The reason why some people don’t understand and even get upset when they hear that people have no free will, it’s because they think separation. For them, every single person is their own entity completely separated from other people and from themselves. But this is just a big illusion. You are not separated from other people and they are not separated from you. Every person in your life is a manifestation of you. This doesn’t mean that they are puppets and that they don’t have their own life to live, but in your world, they can only be YOU pushed out. They can only be a reflection of you.

To give you a concrete example, when I met my specific person, of course, he had a life of his own before he met me. But the moment he stepped into my reality he was me pushed out. The very reason that he stepped into my life it’s because I had manifested him. Then when I truly consciously decided that I wanted this man in my life, I could even see with my naked eyes, so to speak, how he was totally me pushed out, to the point that he was inspired to take some actions that even he didn’t understand. But he went ahead and did it anyway.

However, it felt natural to him. He didn’t feel forced, uncomfortable, or uncertain. He did it all willing, fully believing that it came from him. In my case, my personal experience with my SP is THE best proof of what free will is really all about.

Try it on yourself. Set up an intention, and you will notice that after that, your mind and body will be moved in directions that you will have no control of, all the while feeling natural as if you were making choices. But if you stop and watch what is happening, you will notice that you’re not. You, and whoever else needs to be moved to bring you your desire will be moved.

You don’t Influence Others, You Influence Yourself

You do not have to be concerned about influencing others, as they are not the cause. Your imaginal act is! Those who have a billion dollars are not causing your world. You are alone doing it, as your imaginal acts influence people. Everyone is yourself pushed out, so when you imagine you are influencing yourself. – Neville Goddard

When you hear one of those law of attraction teachers, or what have you, getting upset and offended at the thought of manipulating people, when we’re talking about manifesting a specific person, it’s because they are deep into the illusion of separation, and because they do not understand that they’ve influenced people around them their whole lives anyway, but without knowing they were doing it.

When you are using your imagination or affirmations to manifest something or someone, it is YOU that you are affecting, changing, and transforming. And therefore, you manifest what matches YOU. You’ve been doing it your entire life, but like most people out there, you’ve been doing it unconsciously. However, there wasn’t a moment in your life when you weren’t doing it.

If you’ve always had people living you, it’s because you probably have an abandonment issue, as I did. If you had people abusing you in some way, it’s because you carried the belief that you were to be abused. So, those people who acted the way they acted, had no free will, but to mirror you. When you come to realize this fact and change your self-concept, people will have no choice but change their behavior toward you. People in your reality have no choice but to conform to YOUR assumption. In other words, it is impossible not to influence others, no matter what you believe or do.

You are the Source of Your Reality

If I believe that I am injured or that others are against me, I have conjured them in my world, and they have to be against me. If I fully believe that all are working towards the fulfillment of my good, they have to work towards the fulfillment of my good. I don’t ask them. I simply do it within myself, and the whole vast world exists within me. Therefore, it is myself “pushed out.” It’s objectified. I don’t have to change affairs, I only change it within myself, and then everyone, though I know him or not by name – it doesn’t really matter, – it’s myself pushed out. – Neville Goddard – The Secret of Imagining

I have had people asking me if wishing something bad on others would mean that they would get it back. This type of question comes from the misunderstanding and fear that wishing something bad onto another might get back to them, so maybe they shouldn’t. But this is such a huge misconception of the whole picture.

If you truly love yourself and you understand that there is no such thing as separation, you would never wish something bad onto others. Not even those who have hurt you. If you are in a vengeful state you are not in the state of love. In fact, you are in a state of hate and fear, and that alone will bring you more unwanted things in your own life, not because you are wishing ill upon another person, but you are doing it to yourself.

Louise Hay used to say, hurt people hurt people. It is your “hurting state” that even brings to mind such thoughts as wishing bad onto others to get revenge. So, the question is not about is it going to get back to me, the real question should be, why am I so hurt? Because if you are that hurt, then you need to heal YOURSELF, so you will stop manifesting people hurting you.

On another note, when you want to manifest a romantic partner, whether it’s someone you already know or someone you don’t know, yet, it is always someone specific. So the fact that you are focusing on a specific person it’s nothing out of the ordinary, and believing that it is, is also a misunderstanding of the law of assumption.

That person or anyone else is YOU pushed out, anyway, it doesn’t matter if you know them already or if you don’t. You are never forcing anyone to do anything. All you have to do is imagine, and it is done. That person, whether you know them or not will start acting as if it came from them, but since there is no such thing as free will, they will feel as if they made the decision. This is spiritual law, and no one can escape it.

And this doesn’t apply only to a romantic partner, it applies to everyone and anyone. If you are manifesting a specific job, some specific people will have to act in accordance to your desire. If you are manifesting someone giving you something, that person will have to act in accordance to your desire. Even if your desire is to get help in some way, someone will have to move in accordance to your desire to give you that help. And the list goes on.

Neville knew all too well that free will is just an illusion, and it is only because of the ignorance of how the law works that people are falling into that illusion to the point that they feel that it’s irreverent to manifest a specific person and that it goes against their free will and against moral. If this is you, it is my hope, however, that after having read this article, your concept of free will has changed.
