The practice of maintaining the feeling and conviction that your desire is already fulfilled, after performing an imaginal act, without concern for the 'how' or external actions.
After you have performed this act in your imagination, open your eyes and go about your normal, natural affairs, confident that what you have done must come to fruition in your world. ... Your only responsibility is to remain faithful to your imaginal act until you experience it in your outer world. ... If you think of your desire during the day, give thanks that it is already an accomplished fact – because it is! ... Faith or belief that you already are or have that which you desire is the only means by which to experience your desires. No limitation is imposed on that which you can have except your failure to assume possession of the quality or thing desired. ... It is worth all the effort it may take to center your attention and feel as if you already possess that which you want in place of things as they are. ... Persistence in assuming that you are the person you wish to be, despite your present circumstances, is the only condition imposed upon you to embody that ideal. ... You are not called upon to do anything to aid their realization except to free your mind of any doubt as to how they will come about and completely accept them as you would a gift from a loved one. ... What should be done after we have imagined our wish fulfilled? Nothing. “ You think you can do something, you want to do something, but actually you can do nothing to bring it about. God, our own wonderful human imagination, knows what things are necessary to bring about our desires. It is only necessary to go to the end, to live in the end.
By persistently assuming the feeling of the wish fulfilled and giving thanks for its unseen reality, one aligns their consciousness with the desired state, allowing the creative power to manifest it naturally without external effort.
If You Can Really Believe
Clearly define your desire, then assume the feeling and reality of having already achieved it. Live in this assumed state, seeing and hearing what you would if it were true, and persist in this belief, even if the physical world contradicts it. The means to the end will then unfold naturally.
So tonight, if you are unemployed or threatened, may I tell you, don’t despair. If you can’t find a job, don’t despair. If you want to be happily married and there seems to be no one in this world, whether you be male or female – may I tell you, everyone is looking for the companion of his life or her life in this world. Assume that you have found him. Sleep as though it were true. Share it with your friends who have rejoiced with you, because it is true, and in a way that no one knows, out of the blue, she or he will come into your life, and it will be perfect... Having assumed the end, the end will devise the means – a series of incidents across which you will move... So tonight, know what you want. No modification; just know what you want. Assume that you have it. See in your mind’s eye what you would see if it were true. Live in that state just as though it were true, and then go your way. Sleep tonight as though it were true. Wake tomorrow, and if the moment denies it, get back on the beam and continue on that beam. Do not turn to the left, nor the right. Keep these words. You keep them and simply live by them, and you cannot fail.
This technique leverages the power of imagination and belief to create reality, emphasizing that the end state, once assumed, will orchestrate its own fulfillment.
