The book in one chart
Where the law of assumption comes from
This is the book that made the phrase. Across 1.57 million words of his surviving books and talks we counted 48 uses, and 44 sit here. The law of assumption peaks in Case Histories, which applies it to real people, starting with a drafted soldier in Louisiana in 1943.

Before you download
Your questions, answered
What does the book cover?
It sets out the law of assumption: your state of consciousness decides what you meet, so you assume the feeling of the wish fulfilled and persist.
Does the PDF include the case histories?
Yes. Chapter 23 fills pages 74 to 87, and nothing has been cut from any chapter.
How long does it take to read?
About 20,000 words, so roughly an hour and a half. The chapters are short and most stand alone.
Should I read Feeling Is the Secret first?
We would. It is about a quarter of the length and gives you the outline before this book gives you the detail.
Is it out of copyright?
The New York Public Library's records show no renewal, which points to public domain in the US. Rules elsewhere differ.
