4. Feel the reality and satisfaction of being there.

To manifest a location, imaginatively place yourself there, view the world from that perspective, and intensely feel the reality and satisfaction of being there until a sense of relief is achieved. Then, return to your physical present, knowing that a 'bridge of events' will compel the manifestation.

As I stand here before you, I desire and will assume that I am in San Francisco, approximately 500 miles from here. (I think I know this city well, but I don’t have to know a city in order to assume a state.) Putting myself in a familiar hotel lobby, I sit there and think of the world relative to the lobby in which I am now seated. While I am here I feel its reality; I feel the satisfaction of being here, the very place I wanted to be. The moment I feel the relief of being here, I have released the necessary sperm, or energy, into that dead state. Then I return to Los Angeles, but in that short period of time I have gone and prepared the experience. Now I will move across a bridge of events which will compel me to go to San Francisco.

This personal example demonstrates the process of imaginative penetration: assuming the desired state, experiencing its reality, feeling the satisfaction/relief, and then releasing it, trusting that the outer world will conform.
