The Engineer's Method (Living from the End)
This technique involves vividly imagining oneself already in possession of the desired outcome, focusing on specific sensory details and actions associated…
Step by step
- Clearly define your desired end (e.g., a specific job, income, or situation).
- Mentally place yourself in that desired end, as if it were already a present fact.
- Engage your senses: visualize the environment, hear the sounds, feel the textures, and perform actions you would naturally do in that state (e.g., riding an elevator, hanging a coat, sitting at a desk).
- Experience the naturalness and reality of this imaginal act.
- Persist in this feeling until it takes on the tones of reality.

This technique involves vividly imagining oneself already in possession of the desired outcome, focusing on specific sensory details and actions associated with that fulfilled state. The individual mentally inhabits the desired reality, acting 'as if' it were already true, and experiencing the naturalness of it.
This is a very simple story; it is a true story. A man - an engineer who had never earned twenty thousand a year, he had never earned beyond ten - I said to him: “Where would you work if you made your twenty thousand?” He said: “I have picked out the job - they don’t know it, but the building is on Madison Avenue. I know exactly the floor, I have ridden up in the elevator, I have gotten off at the floor and walked into the office. I know where I would sit were it true that I work there; where I will hang my hat and when I take off my coat where I will put it. I know exactly what I will do.” I said: “Al right, now stand in that elevator and go up, see it stop at the floor and get off, walk right into the place, take off your hat and jacket, and just simply be natural in the job.” Within two weeks he was on that job at twenty thousand a year.
This is a practical application of 'living from the end.' By mentally occupying the desired job and salary, the engineer activated his 'Jacob' (imagination) to arrange the bridge of incidents necessary for its physical manifestation.
