Entering the Image (Thinking From)

Step by step

1. Clearly define your desire.
2. Formulate an imaginal scene that implies the fulfillment of this desire.
3. Do not just observe the scene; actively 'enter into' it.
4. Assume the feeling of the wish fulfilled, experiencing it as if it's real now.
5. Persist in this 'entering' until the imaginal state feels like your current reality.

To create, one must not merely observe an image of the wish fulfilled, but 'enter into' it, becoming one with the desired state. This act of entering and assuming the feeling of the wish fulfilled impregnates the imaginal state, causing it to manifest physically, much like a womb giving birth.

Imagination it seems will do nothing that we wish until we enter into the image of the wish fulfilled. Does not this entering into the image of the wish fulfilled resemble Blake's 'Void outside of Existence which if enter'd into Englobes itself & becomes a Womb?' Is this not the true interpretation of the mythical story of Adam and Eve? Man and his emanation? Are not man's dreams of fancy his Emanation, his Eve in whom 'He plants himself in all her Nerves, just as a Husbandman his mould; And she becomes his dwelling place and garden fruitful seventy fold?' The secret of creation is the secret of imagining — first, desiring and then assuming the feeling of the wish fulfilled until the dream of fancy, 'the Void outside existence,' is enter'd and 'englobes itself and becomes a womb, a dwelling place and garden fruitful seventy fold.' Note well that Blake urges us to enter info these images. This entering into the image makes it 'englobe itself and become a womb.' Man, by entering a state impregnates it and causes it to create what the union implies.

This technique emphasizes active participation and identification with the desired state in imagination. It's a mystical union where the imaginer becomes the image, giving it life and creative power.
