Step by step
- Identify what you desire to harvest.
- Ask yourself how you would feel if your desire was already a fact.
- Catch that feeling of fulfillment, perhaps by imagining others seeing you as if your desire were fulfilled.
- Allow the feeling of reality to possess you.

This technique involves identifying a desired outcome, then imagining the feeling of its fulfillment as if it were already a present fact. One should then 'fall asleep in that assumption' and consciously and persistently return to that feeling of naturalness until the new state becomes a comfortable and habitual dwelling place, thereby objectifying it in reality.
Ask yourself what you would like to harvest. When you know what it is, ask yourself how you would feel if your desire was ready to harvest right now. When you know the feeling, try to catch it. In my own case I find it easier to catch the feeling by imagining I am with people I know well and they are seeing me as they would if my desire were now a fact. And when the feeling of reality possesses me, I fall asleep in that assumption. At that moment I have entered a state. Now, I must make that state as natural as I have made my present state. I must consciously return to my new state constantly. I must feel its naturalness, like my own bed at night. At first the new state seems unnatural, like wearing a new suit or hat. Although no one knows your suit is new, you are so conscious of it you think everyone is looking at you. You are aware of its fit and its feeling until it becomes comfortable. So it is with your new state. At first you are conscious of its strangeness; but with regular wearing, the new state becomes comfortable, and its naturalness causes you to constantly return to it, thereby making it real.
To manifest a desired reality, one must not merely construct it in the mind's eye but actively 'occupy' the state of its fulfillment. This means living from the feeling of the wish fulfilled, making it natural through persistent imaginative practice, rather than perpetually constructing and deferring occupancy.
