Step by step
- Clearly define the desired state or wish (Jacob/Israel).
- Represent the friend (or self) as already embodying this desired state in your mind's eye.
- Engage your imaginary senses: see them, hear them, touch them, feel their presence as if it were physically real.
- For example, if it's a job, see them gainfully employed, hear them express happiness about the job, feel their hand in yours as you congratulate them.
- Sustain this imagined state until it takes on the 'tones of reality' and feels completely natural and real to you.
- Do not concern yourself with the 'how' or 'means' of its manifestation; simply remain faithful to the feeling of the wish fulfilled.

This technique involves taking a subjective wish (Jacob/Israel) and, through imaginative acts, clothing it with the sensory and emotional reality of its fulfillment, making it feel objectively real within one's mind. This is done to 'bring Jacob to the Lord' (one's own consciousness) as a fulfilled state.
You take that thing you have seen in the mind's eye, which, to make it practical, we will think of as a friend in need. It may be physical need; maybe he is unwell, or it could be he needs a job. Well, now, you be the one who will decide what part of Israel you will bring to the Lord and prove to the Lord you are a perfect servant; for the promise is that when you prove you are the perfect servant, then you will no longer be called servant, he will call you his friend. ... Represent him to yourself as though he now embodied the state you want him to realize in this world. If it is a job, see him gainfully employed, take your imaginary hand, which is Jacob's hand, and put it into his imaginary hand - leave it in that imagined state until it takes on the tones of reality. When it seems to you real, that you are actually touching him, clothe it with all the reality of the external world. So Jacob clothes himself in the skins of Esau to deceive his father into believing that he, Jacob, was Esau. So you take the Jacob within you, which is the smooth-skinned lad, which is simply now the wish. You want to congratulate him. You want to hear his voice. You want to hear him tell you he has never been so happy in a job in his life, he has never been so gainfully employed, that he loves going to work, he just loves everything about the job. You actually hear him as though you heard him. Now you clothe it with all the tones of reality.
The individual's role as a 'servant' is to identify a desired state (Israel/Jacob) and then, using their imagination, make that invisible state feel so real that it takes on the 'skins of Esau' (objective reality), thereby manifesting it in the physical world.
