Perception
This technique involves 'repentance' as a radical change of mind or attitude towards a person or situation. It requires consciously altering your inner perception of something displeasing and then persuading yourself that this new, desired perception is real, expecting the outer world to conform.
If imagining creates reality, and you practice repentance by radically changing your mind, you can take anything that displeases you and change it. Then persuade yourself that the change is real. Expect it to mold itself in harmony with what you are thinking, and the man, woman, or room, will bear witness to your repentance. When you change your attitude towards another, he must change his attitude towards you.

By changing one's mind about a person or circumstance and believing in that new inner state, the outer reality is compelled to reflect this internal shift, demonstrating the creative power of imagination.

To change an undesirable external situation or relationship, one must change their inner attitude towards it. This involves mentally representing the person or situation as desired, persisting in seeing and liking this new inner image, even if reason and senses deny it. This inner shift is "repentance."
If you don’t like someone, change your attitude towards him. Represent him to yourself as you would like him to be, and persist in seeing and liking the new image. Your reason and your senses may deny any change, but it will come because you are practicing repentance. Change your attitude towards life by turning your thoughts around and you will move towards eternity. You will pass inward to the Father and Remembrance.
Repentance is not sorrow for sin but a radical change of mind and attitude, a turning around of one's thoughts to align with the desired reality. This inner change inevitably leads to outer manifestation.
