How to Manifest Deep Friendships with the Law of Assumption
While romantic relationships often dominate manifestation discussions, deep, meaningful friendships are equally important for a fulfilling life. Neville Goddard's Law of Assumption applies just as powerfully to platonic relationships as it does to romantic ones.
The principle is the same: everyone in your reality is you pushed out. Your friends, or lack thereof, reflect your assumptions about yourself and your social worthiness. If you assume you are someone who naturally attracts loyal, loving, supportive friends, that is exactly what you will experience.
Loneliness is not a permanent condition. It is a state based on assumptions that can be changed at any moment.
Why Friendships Reflect Your Self-Concept
Your self-concept determines the quality of every relationship in your life, including friendships. If you assume you are boring, awkward, or hard to be around, you will experience people who seem disinterested or distant. If you assume you are someone people genuinely enjoy, someone whose company others seek out, that is who you become in others' eyes.
This is not about changing your personality to please others. It's about changing your assumption about how your authentic personality is received. You don't need to become someone else. You need to assume that who you are is exactly what people want in a friend.
Step-by-Step Friendship Manifestation Guide
Step 1: Examine Your Social Assumptions
What do you believe about friendship? Do you think making friends is hard? That people are fake? That you always end up alone? These assumptions are creating your current reality. Identify them so you can consciously choose new ones.
Step 2: Rebuild Your Social Self-Concept
Assume you are someone who makes friends easily and naturally. You are warm, interesting, and genuinely enjoyable to be around. People are drawn to you. Friendships come to you without effort. This is your new identity.
Step 3: Create SATS Scenes of Friendship
Using the SATS technique, imagine scenes of deep friendship that imply the wish has been fulfilled. Not meeting someone for the first time, but enjoying established friendships.
Step 4: Be Open to the Bridge of Incidents
New friendships may come through unexpected channels: a coworker, a class, a random encounter, or a reconnection with someone from your past. Don't try to force friendships. Let them emerge naturally as your assumption shifts.
SATS Scenes for Friendship Manifestation
The Group Gathering Scene: Imagine sitting around a table with a group of close friends, laughing over dinner. Feel the warmth of belonging. Hear the inside jokes, the genuine laughter. Know that these people truly care about you and you about them.
The Phone Call Scene: Imagine receiving a call from a close friend who just wants to check in. Hear them say, "Hey, I was just thinking about you. How are you doing?" Feel the warmth of being thought about and cared for.
The Support Scene: Imagine going through a challenging time and having friends rally around you. Feel the comfort of knowing you are not alone. Hear a friend say, "We're here for you. Whatever you need." Feel the security of genuine support.
The Adventure Scene: Imagine going on a trip or adventure with close friends. Feel the excitement, the shared laughter, the memories being made. Feel the deep connection that comes from shared experiences.
Affirmations for Friendship Manifestation

Manifesting Specific Types of Friends
You can be specific about the kind of friends you want. If you want creative friends, assume you are part of a creative community. If you want friends who share your spiritual interests, assume you are surrounded by like-minded souls. If you want a best friend, assume you have one.
The Law of Assumption doesn't limit you to vague desires. Get specific about the friendships you want and assume them into your reality.
Improving Existing Friendships
The Law of Assumption isn't just for manifesting new friends. You can use it to deepen existing friendships. If a friendship feels surface-level or distant, change your assumption about that person and your relationship with them.
Assume they are a loyal, devoted friend. Assume your bond is deep and unshakeable. Assume they think of you fondly and often. Watch as their behavior begins to reflect your new assumption.
Common Mistakes in Friendship Manifestation
Trying Too Hard
Desperate energy repels people just as much in friendship as in romance. If you are approaching every social interaction with the energy of "please like me," you are operating from a state of lack. Instead, assume you are already well-liked and let interactions flow naturally.
Settling for Shallow Connections
Don't settle for friends who don't truly value you just because you're lonely. The Law of Assumption gives you permission to desire and manifest deep, genuine friendships. Don't lower your standards out of scarcity.
Replaying Past Social Failures
If you've been excluded, betrayed, or rejected by friends in the past, those experiences can create persistent assumptions about your social worth. Use the revision technique to neutralize these memories and create new assumptions from a clean slate.
Expecting Instant Best Friends
Deep friendship typically develops through the bridge of incidents over time. Don't be discouraged if new friendships start casually. Trust that the depth will develop naturally as your assumption of deep friendship persists.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I manifest a specific person to be my friend?
Yes. The same EIYPO principle applies. Assume that person enjoys your company and values your friendship. Imagine scenes of you and that specific person as close friends. Your assumption will influence the version of them you experience.
How do I deal with loneliness while manifesting?
Loneliness is painful, and it's okay to feel it. Don't suppress it. But also don't let it become your identity. After feeling the emotion, consciously shift to your new assumption. Use SATS at night to immerse yourself in the feeling of being surrounded by wonderful friends.
Can I manifest friends in a new city after moving?
Absolutely. Moving to a new city is actually an ideal time to apply the Law of Assumption because there are fewer existing assumptions to overcome. Assume you quickly find your people in your new location.
What if I'm introverted?
Being introverted doesn't mean you don't deserve or can't have deep friendships. Introverts often desire fewer but deeper connections. Assume that quality over quantity. Manifest two or three deeply connected friends rather than a large social circle if that aligns with your nature.

Self-Concept vs Techniques
Self-concept is the foundation; techniques are the tools. Without a strong self-concept, techniques produce inconsistent results. With a strong self-concept, even simple techniques become powerful. Prioritize self-concept work, and use techniques to reinforce and accelerate the inner shift.
VSRevision vs Mental Diet
Revision and mental diet serve different but complementary purposes. Revision heals the past and removes limiting impressions, while mental diet shapes your present and future assumptions. Together, they form a complete inner practice. If you must choose one, mental diet has broader daily impact.
