To assume the feeling of the wish fulfilled and fall asleep in that assumption, as if the desired state is already a present reality. This involves engaging the senses in imagination (smelling paint, seeing repairs, feeling the check).
And so for one to declare, "I am" – and simply name it and sleep as though it were true – there is no power in the world that could stop it. ... When a lady sits in this audience and is in her seventies and has no money and dares to sleep in a home in need of repairs; and she looks at the unrepaired, unpainted house and she could smell paint and could see the whole thing as it would be seen were it true that things were exactly as she wants it to be, and she sleeps in that assumption – what is she actually saying? If I said to her: "Who is smelling anything?" she would say, "I am smelling paint." "What are you seeing?" "I am seeing a repaired house." "What else?" "I am seeing that the whole thing has been paid for." She falls asleep in assumption of seeing from her own wonderful center – I am seeing it – I am smelling the paint – all these things she is doing and in one month it was all repaired and painted and paid for, with a surplus of $7,000 ... I will assume tonight that I am what I desire to be and dare to fall asleep in the assumption as though it were true. I will actually believe in it.
This technique leverages the power of 'I AM' consciousness. By assuming the desired state before sleep, one impresses the subconscious mind with the reality of the wish fulfilled, which then externalizes it in the physical world. There is no power that can stop this process if done with conviction.
