What is the Law of Identical Harvest?
Simply put, the Law of Identical Harvest means that we reap what we sow.
The key here is recognizing that every thought is a seed.
The nature of these seeds determines the harvest we will eventually reap.
Every action we take, every thought we think, and every word we speak plants a seed in our reality. And when those seeds come to fruition, we experience the corresponding results.
Many ancient teachings, from the Bible to Eastern philosophies, echo this principle. They all highlight the importance of inner transformation as a precursor to outer change.
The Law of Identical Harvest also corresponds to the Hermetic Law of Cause and Effect.
“As you sow, so shall you reap.”
Neville Goddard about the Law of Identical Harvest
Neville Goddard was a well-known spiritual teacher and author.
His work revolves around:
- The power of imagination and
- The importance of feeling as if our desires are already fulfilled.
Neville also taught the Law of Identical Harvest in his lectures and writings. In his lecture “Imagination Creates Reality,” Neville shares some interesting insights about it.
He said that the Law of Identical Harvest is an impersonal force that can be harnessed to manifest anything you can imaginable.
The key to manifestation lies in your consciousness.
Because creation is finished, everything – and I mean EVERYTHING – already exists.
Your dream job? It’s there.
Your perfect relationship? Yep, that too.
Your ideal body? Already a reality.
Your outer world is a copy of your inner beliefs.
The good news? Change the belief change your life.
It’s that simple (notice I didn’t say easy).
How to Use the Law of Identical Harvest
We’ve all got problems, right? Bills piling up, relationships on the rocks, that dream job that feels like it’s on another planet. These are regular parts of our lives.
But what if I told you that these problems aren’t roadblocks, they’re actually crops from your mind’s garden?
Here’s the deal:
Every challenge you face is like a seed you’ve planted in the garden of your life. And just like a real garden, what you grow depends on how you choose those seeds.
So the challenges you are currently facing are actually the result of mental seeds that you’ve planted in your mind some time ago. These seeds formed the state you are in now.
Now, I know what you’re thinking. “But Bree, I didn’t choose these problems!” And you’re right, you might not have consciously chosen them. But subconsciously? That’s a whole different ballgame.
Sowing the Seeds in Your Mind
See, the Law of Identical Harvest says that what you reap is exactly what you sow.
Your thoughts, your beliefs, your expectations – they’re all seeds. And trust me, they’ll grow whether you like it or not.
Do you often think about lack, fear, or failure?
These thoughts are seeds that can grow into experiences of scarcity, anxiety, and setbacks.
Say you’re stuck in a job you hate. Every day, you’re planting and nurturing seeds of frustration, resentment, and “I’m trapped” vibes. Guess what kind of harvest you’re setting yourself up for? More of the same!
But here’s where it gets exciting. If you can plant a problem, you can plant a solution. It’s all about perception!
This idea is closely linked to the Law of Assumption.
The Law of Assumption states that assuming a certain state of being creates that reality. When you assume something you are changing your perception and subsequently your reality.
Identify Your Current Crop
Alright, it’s time to get your hands dirty. We’re going to do a little gardening, but instead of soil, we’re digging into your life.
Ready to see what you’ve been harvesting?
First things first, grab a notebook or your phone – whatever you use to jot down your thoughts. We’re about to do a little self-assessment.
We are often unaware of the negative patterns that dominate our minds. These patterns determine the path of our lives.
And we are about to discover them.
Step 1: The Life Inventory
Take a good, hard look at your life right now. I’m talking relationships, career, bank account, health, the whole shebang. What’s flourishing? What’s wilting? Don’t hold back – we’re not here to judge, we’re here to grow.
Start by observing your daily thoughts and identifying any recurring negative themes.
Maybe your love life is blooming, but your bank account’s looking more like a tumbleweed. Or perhaps your career’s a bumper crop, but your health is withering on the vine. Write it all down!
Areas to Explore:
- Health
- Career
- Finances
- Love Life
- Family and Friends
- Personal and Spiritual Growth
Step 2: Follow the Roots
Now, here’s where it gets juicy. For each area of your life, we’re going to trace it back to the seeds you planted. And by seeds, I mean your thoughts, beliefs, and expectations.
Let’s say your relationships are thriving. Ask yourself:
What thoughts have I been nurturing about love and connection?
Chances are, you’ve been planting seeds of openness, trust, and value.
But what about that area that’s not so good? Maybe your finances are in a funk. Dig deep. Have you been planting seeds of “I’ll never have enough” or “Money demands hard work“? There’s your wilted crop.
Questions to Identify Negative Themes:
- What are the thoughts that frequently occupy my mind?
- Do I often find myself worrying about the same issues repeatedly?
- Are there specific situations or people that trigger negative thoughts in me?
- How do I talk to myself when I make a mistake or face a challenge?
- What beliefs do I hold about my abilities and worthiness?
- Do I notice any patterns in my reactions to stress or adversity?
Step 3: The Aha Moment
This is where the magic happens. As you connect your current situations to your past thoughts and beliefs, you’ll start to see patterns. You’ll have those lightbulb moments where suddenly, it all makes sense.
So, congratulations! You are becoming conscious of your patterns!
I had a client once who couldn’t figure out why she kept getting passed over for promotions. When we did this exercise, she realized she’d been planting seeds of “I’m not good enough” for years. No wonder her career crop was stunted!
Crop Rotation
Alright, green thumb, you’ve got your current crop identified. You know what’s growing, you know why it’s growing. It’s time to plan for the next season.
- What crops do you want to grow?
- What seeds do you need to plant in your consciousness to manifest the state you desire??
The beauty of the Law of Identical Harvest is that you can start planting new seeds right now. Today. This very minute.
But, you must believe in your ability to turn things around.
Remember, you’re the master gardener of your mind.
You’ve got the power to uproot those weeds of doubt, fertilize the soil with positive emotions, and plant a whole new crop of kickass results.
So, take a good look at that inventory you just made. Circle the areas you want to change. These are your priority plots, the places where you’re going to focus your manifesting mojo.
And here’s a pro tip:
Start small.
Don’t try to overhaul your entire life garden overnight.
Pick one or two areas to focus on. Maybe it’s planting seeds of confidence for your career, or seeds of abundance for your finances.
Be intentional. Every thought, every belief, every expectation is a seed. Choose them wisely, plant them carefully, and watch your life transform.
Planting Intentional Seeds
Here’s where the rubber meets the road. Instead of letting your mind run wild with worry seeds, we’re going to plant some grade-A, premium thought seeds.
Let’s say you’re gunning for a new, high-paying job. Instead of thinking, “I’ll never get it,” try this on for size: “I am fully capable and deserving of this job. Of course I’ll get it.” Feels different, right?
But don’t just think it once and call it a day.
Oh no! We’re going for full-on mental gardening.
Visualize yourself in that new role.
Feel the satisfaction of that bigger paycheck. Imagine the pride in your family’s eyes.
Pro tip: The more senses you involve, the stronger that seed takes root. So don’t just see it – feel it, hear it, taste it! Every part of your visualization must align with your desire.
Nurturing Your Mental Garden
Alright, you’ve planted those seeds. Now it’s time to tend to them like your life depends on it – because, in a way, it does!
This is where most people give up. They plant the seeds and then let the weeds of doubt and negativity creep in. Not you, though. You’ll be the most attentive gardener your mind has ever seen.
For example:
Every morning, you can water those seeds with affirmations.
At night, fertilize them with vivid visualization.
And here’s a secret weapon: emotion. The more emotion you pour into your mental garden, the faster it’ll grow.
So don’t just go through the motions – feel it real!
Practical Techniques to Manifest Solutions
Alright, I’m about to hand you a set of extra tools that’ll turn your mind into a paradise.
The “Problem Flip” Technique
First up, we’ve got a little mind-bender I like to call the “Problem Flip.”
This technique is like hitting the reverse button on your problems, and it’s a total game-changer.
Here’s how it works:
Take your problem and flip it on its head. Ask yourself, “What’s the opposite of this issue, and how can I make that my new focus?“
Let’s say you’re stressed about not having enough money. Instead of obsessing over your packed schedule, flip it!
Start focusing on, “Every cent I spend comes back to me multiplied.” or “Isn’t it wonderful how money comes to me in most unexpected ways?“
Solution-Focused Meditation
Next up, we’ll zen our way to success with solution-focused meditation.
Here’s the drill:
- Get comfy and close your eyes.
- Take a few deep breaths to center yourself.
- Visualize your problem as a tangled ball of string.
- Now, imagine yourself calmly and confidently untangling that string.
- With each knot you undo, picture a solution revealing itself.
- By the time the string is straight, you’ve got a clear path to your solution.
Do this for 10 minutes a day, and watch those solutions start popping up!
Gratitude Journaling for Future Harvests
Last but definitely not least, we’ve got a gratitude journaling with a twist. We’re not just going to be grateful for what we have – we’ll be grateful for what’s coming.
Grab a journal and every night before bed, write down three things you’re grateful for about your future self who’s already solved your current problem.
For example:
- I’m grateful for the confidence I have now that I’ve landed my dream job.
- I’m thankful for the ease I feel in my new home.
- I appreciate the energy I have since adopting my new health routine.
This technique is like sending a thank-you note to God/universe in advance.
Recently, I had a client who was struggling with debt. She started writing gratitude statements about her future financially free self. Within 2 months, she had paid off half her debt and landed a higher-paying job. Coincidence? I think not!
Now, here’s the secret sauce to make all these techniques work: consistency. You wouldn’t plant a seed and then forget to water it for weeks, right? The same goes for these mental seeds. Make these techniques a daily habit, and I promise you’ll start seeing sprouts in no time.
Dealing with “Weeds” (Negative Thoughts and Doubts)
Listen up, because this is crucial: weeds happen.
Even the most optimistic people get negative thoughts. The trick isn’t to never have them – it’s knowing how to handle them when they pop up.
Think of negative thoughts as weeds in your mental garden.
Your weed-whacking strategy:
| Strategy | How to do it | |
|---|---|---|
| 1. | Watch your mental diet | Pay attention to your thoughts on a daily basis. |
| 2. | Acknowledge the weed | Don’t ignore it or beat yourself up. Simply say, “Ah, this is a negative thought.” |
| 3. | Pull it out | Counter that negative thought with a positive one. If the weed is “I’ll never succeed,” pull it out and replace it with “I’m constantly growing and moving towards my goal.” |
| 4. | Reinforce the soil | After removing a weed, plant an extra positive seed in its place. Visualize your success or repeat an empowering affirmation. You can find examples of this process in the post about Inner Conversations. |
The Law of Identical Harvest and “Everyone Is You Pushed Out”
Now, you might be wondering how the Law of Identical Harvest relates to the popular concept of “everyone is you pushed out” (EIYPO).
The truth is, they’re two sides of the same coin.
Both describe how our inner world shapes our outer reality.
However, the Law of Identical Harvest often resonates better with folks who find EIYPO a bit too abstract or literal.
Let’s break it down.
EIYPO suggests that everyone in your life is a reflection of your consciousness.
Sounds wild, right? Some people get tripped up, thinking, “If everyone’s me pushed out, why did my partner cheat? I’m loyal!“
This is where the Law of Identical Harvest shines. Instead of seeing others as direct mirrors, it encourages us to trace our experiences (the crop) back to our thoughts and beliefs (the seeds).
Maybe you didn’t plant seeds of cheating, but did you plant seeds of unworthiness? Doubt? Fear of abandonment? These subtle, often unconscious seeds can grow into situations that seem unrelated on the surface.
The Law of Identical Harvest gives us a practical framework to uncover these hidden thought patterns.
So next time you’re faced with a situation you don’t like, instead of getting stuck on “How is this me pushed out?“, try asking, “What seed did I plant that grew into this crop?“
Whether you resonate more with EIYPO or the Law of Identical Harvest, the core message is the same:
Your inner world creates your outer reality.
Scientific Backing of the Law of Identical Harvest
You might be thinking, “Sure, this Law of Identical Harvest sounds great, but where’s the proof?“
Modern psychology, neuroscience, and physics are catching up to what manifestation masters have known for ages.
Research shows that our thoughts and beliefs greatly impact our emotions, behaviors, and ultimately, our experiences.
Neuroplasticity
Neuroplasticity is your brain’s superpower to rewire itself based on your experiences and – you guessed it – your thoughts. It’s truly like your brain is a garden that’s constantly ready for replanting.
Those thought seeds you’re sowing? They’re literally changing the physical structure of your brain!
Placebo Effect
Extensive studies on the placebo effect, for example, show how powerful the mind can be in influencing physical outcomes.
People healing from sugar pills just because they believe they will? But it’s real, and it’s happening all over the world.
Persistence in the Manifestation Process
Here’s a hard truth: manifestation isn’t always instant. Sometimes, it feels like your seeds are taking forever to sprout. This is where a lot of people give up – don’t be one of them!
You must persist until you manifest the desired result.
In a real garden, you don’t plant a seed and then dig it up every day to check if it’s growing. The same goes for your thought seeds.
Here’s how to cultivate persistence:
- Celebrate small wins: Notice and appreciate every little sign of progress.
- Keep a manifestation journal: Document your journey. On tough days, look back and see how far you’ve come.
- Try new techniques: If visualization isn’t your thing, maybe try scripting or affirmations. Mix it up!
- Practice the “As If” technique: Live each day as if your manifestation has already happened. Feel the feelings, embody the person you’re becoming, and act like them.
- Get support: Sometimes, a fresh perspective can work wonders. Consider working with a manifestation coach.
