Step by step
- Identify your problem (first bird) and its solution/desired state (second bird).
- Remove your attention from the problem ('kill' the first bird, extracting its 'blood' which is your consciousness).
- Place your attention on the solution/desired state and feel its reality ('dip' the living bird into the 'blood' of your consciousness).
- Dwell within this new conception of yourself until your mind is stilled and fixed in the belief that you are actually expressing or possessing it ('sprinkle seven times' until the Sabbath).
- Fully impress upon yourself the fact that you are that which you desire to be ('loose the living bird'), knowing it will embody itself.

To cure any problem: 1) 'Kill' the problem (first bird) by removing your attention from it, thereby draining its 'lifeblood' (consciousness). 2) 'Dip' the solution (living bird) into this 'blood' (your consciousness) by placing your attention on the desired state and feeling its reality. 3) 'Sprinkle seven times' by dwelling in this new conception until your mind is stilled and fixed in the belief of its reality (entering the Sabbath). 4) 'Loose the living bird' by fully impressing the new state, which will then embody itself.
First: Take one of the birds (your problem) and kill it by extracting the blood from it. Blood is man’s consciousness. “He hath made of one blood all nations of men to dwell on all the face of the earth.” Your consciousness is the one and only reality which animates and makes real that which you are conscious of being. So turning your attention away from the problem is equivalent to extracting the blood from the bird. Your consciousness is the one blood which makes all states living realities. By removing your attention from any given state you have drained the lifeblood from that state. You kill or eliminate the first bird (your problem) by removing your attention from it. Into this blood (your consciousness) you dip the live bird (the solution), or that which heretofore you desired to be or possess. This you do by freeing yourself to be the desirable state now. The dipping of the live bird into the blood of the bird that was killed is similar to the blessing of Jacob by his blind father Isaac. As you recall, blind Isaac could not see his objective world, his son Esau. You, too, are blind to your problem – the first bird – for you have removed your attention from it and therefore you do not see it. Your attention (blood) is now placed upon the second bird (subjective state), and you feel and sense the reality of it. Seven times you are told to sprinkle the one to be cleansed. This means you must dwell within the new conception of yourself until you mentally enter the seventh day (the Sabbath); until the mind is stilled or fixed in the belief that you are actually expressing or possessing that which you desire to be or to possess. At the seventh sprinkle you are instructed to loose the living bird and pronounce the man clean. As you fully impress upon yourself the fact that you are that which you desire to be, you have symbolically sprinkled yourself seven times; then you are as free as the bird that is loosed. And like the bird in flight which must in a little while return to the earth, so must your subjective impressions or claim in a little while embody itself in your world.
This is a psychological method for healing any condition by consciously shifting attention and feeling from the problem to the solution, persisting in the new state until it becomes a fixed belief, and then allowing it to manifest.
