Step by step
- Identify a specific time or season (e.g., Christmas, a particular month) that evokes a strong, positive feeling for you.
- Consciously conjure and immerse yourself in that specific feeling (e.g., the feeling of Christmas joy, peace, or abundance).
- While holding that feeling, assume that your specific desire has already been fulfilled.
- Drop the desire, trusting that the feeling will carry it forward.
- Allow the natural progression of time; the desire will manifest by the time the associated season or period arrives, through a series of natural events.

This technique involves conjuring the feeling associated with a specific time or season (e.g., Christmas, Sunday) and then, while immersed in that feeling, assuming the fulfillment of a desire. The feeling acts as a catalyst, and the desire manifests by the time that season or period naturally arrives.
haven’t you said any day of the week, Why this feels like Sunday? It could be Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, but it feels like Sunday. Well, how could it feel like Sunday? You have some association with something. And when you say, It feels like the Fall of the year, or it feels like Christmas – you don’t have to wait for Christmas to feel Christmas, but at some moment in your life you felt, It feels like Christmas. You can conjure that feeling, and then when you conjure the feeling of Christmas, feel that something has happened that you desire, say, in the month of July, and then drop it. And as you go forward towards Christmas, when Christmas comes by, the thing that you actually felt that was yours at Christmas, when Christmas comes – in a way we do not know – it happens! The thing comes into being. That is what He means by, “I will go and prepare a place for you, and when I go I will come again and take you to myself, that where I am…” Where I am? Where are we? At Christmas – that’s where I am “…there ye shall be also.” He will take you forward through the months – you are not going to skip them. Things will build themselves until when we get to Christmas – you and I together, for I can’t divorce you – when we get to Christmas, the thing will happen.
By associating a desired fulfillment with a specific feeling of a time or season, one 'prepares a place' in consciousness. The imagination then works through the intervening time, building a 'bridge of incidents' to bring the desire into physical manifestation by the time the associated season or period arrives.
