The mind beneath the mind
Identity
Identity is the answer the soul gives to the question "who am I?" and that answer is creative. In the law of assumption, you do not attract what you want but what you are; the world rearranges itself to express your settled sense of self. To assume a new identity, to conceive of yourself as the person you wish to be and to persist in that conception until it feels natural, is the master key, for the outer life can only ever mirror the inner state of being you have claimed.

The seeker learns that identity is not fixed by past or circumstance but chosen and worn. Every habit is a vote cast for the kind of person you are becoming; every assumption held to the point of feeling reality reshapes destiny. "I am" are the two most powerful words, for whatever follows them you summon into expression. Wear the identity of the fulfilled self now, and the deeper mind will build the world to match it.

When man makes this ASSUMPTION, when he recognizes that all life is God, he will ASSUME the qualities of God naturally, and find them out-pictured in his life.Walter C. Lanyon
I am large, I contain multitudes.Walt Whitman
