Abundance is not something you attract—it's something you become. When you shift your self-concept to that of an abundant person, your outer world must conform.
This guide applies the Law of Assumption specifically to wealth and abundance. Not "getting rich quick"—becoming the person for whom abundance is natural.
Understanding Scarcity vs. Abundance Consciousness
Scarcity consciousness believes there isn't enough—not enough money, opportunities, love, time. It grasps, hoards, and fears loss. It's the default setting for most people.
Abundance consciousness knows there's always enough. It gives freely, receives openly, and trusts that more is always available. It's a state that can be assumed.
The difference isn't in circumstances—it's in inner conversation and assumption.
The Abundance Self-Concept
Before manifesting specific amounts, work on your general relationship with abundance. Ask yourself:
- Do I believe I deserve wealth?
- Do I believe money comes easily?
- Do I believe there's enough for everyone?
- Do I feel guilty about having more than others?
- What did my family believe about money?
Your honest answers reveal your current self-concept around abundance. This is what must shift.
Neville on Wealth
Neville taught that wealth, like anything else, is a state of consciousness to be entered:
"Assume the feeling of your wish fulfilled. Feel yourself into the state of the wish fulfilled until it has all the sensory vividness of reality."
For wealth, this means:
- Feeling the relief of bills being paid easily
- Feeling the freedom of choices money provides
- Feeling the security of a healthy bank balance
- Feeling the generosity of being able to give freely
Practical Exercises for Abundance
Exercise 1: The Bank Balance Technique
Each night before sleep (SATS), imagine logging into your bank account and seeing your desired balance. Don't just visualize the number—feel the satisfaction, relief, and security.
Exercise 2: The Wealthy Day Script
Write out a typical day in your wealthy life. Not extravagant, just comfortable. What does financial freedom look like on a Tuesday?
Exercise 3: Abundance Affirmations
- "Money flows to me easily and frequently"
- "I am naturally abundant"
- "Wealth is my birthright"
- "I always have more than enough"
Use these to redirect scarcity thoughts throughout the day.
Exercise 4: Gratitude Inventory
List 20 ways you're already abundant. A roof, food, a phone, eyesight, a friend—abundance is already here. Acknowledging this shifts your state.
Exercise 5: Act As If (Small Steps)
Don't fake wealth by overspending. Instead, make small choices a wealthy person would make: the nicer coffee, the tip rounded up, the item you buy new instead of secondhand. Let yourself have small luxuries guilt-free.
Common Blocks to Abundance
"Money is evil"
The scripture says "love of money is the root of all evil"—not money itself. Money is a tool. Your use of it can be generous and good.
"I don't deserve it"
This is a self-concept issue. You deserve abundance because you exist. Full stop. Assume you deserve it, and watch circumstances conform.
"If I have more, others have less"
This scarcity belief doesn't hold up. The economy isn't zero-sum. Your abundance can bless others through employment, generosity, and circulation.
"Spiritual people shouldn't focus on money"
Read Wallace Wattles or Florence Shinn. They saw material prosperity as a spiritual right and responsibility.
The EIYPO Approach to Abundance
Everyone in your world reflects your assumptions. This includes:
- Employers and clients (they pay you what you assume you're worth)
- The economy (it's abundant or scarce based on your assumption)
- Opportunities (they appear when you assume abundance)
If people seem stingy toward you, examine your assumptions about yourself and money.
Timeline for Abundance Manifestation
There's no fixed timeline, but general patterns:
- Small shifts (unexpected $50, discount, refund): Days to weeks
- Medium shifts (raise, new client, opportunity): Weeks to months
- Major shifts (new career level, significant wealth): Months to years
The variable is how quickly and thoroughly you shift your state. Some people manifest millions quickly; others take years. The consistent factor is persistence in the assumption.
