Having mentally heard that which you wanted to hear, having thrilled to the news heard, go about your daily task.

your conversation with your friend must be in a manner which does not express the slightest doubt as to the truth of what you imagine that you hear and say

To establish rapport, call your friend mentally.

What finer beginning than to imagine better than the best we know for a friend.

Knowing this great truth, we can no longer imagine evil against any neighbor. We will imagine the best of our neighbor.

Simply imagine that they are talking to you, and they are telling you what they wish they could tell you

Know that knowing as he ought to be known first by himself, but if he hasn’t known it as true of himself, you at least know it for him.

I bring him before my mind’s eye and I congratulate him on his good fortune because he is now gainfully employed.

single out the idea that would bless an individual and produce in yourself the emotional response that you have witnessed that state in his world

then turn to a friend in your mind’s eye, and congratulate him on his good fortune

Suppose I could turn now to a friend and rejoice with him because of his good fortune

Don’t be envious. Try to rejoice.

bring a friend (or he may be an opponent) before your mind’s eye and represent him to yourself as being in a finer state, or freer, and then be faithful to your mental structure

Bring before your mind’s eye your world as you want it. Hear, touch, see, and feel what you would if your desire were true

I could tell you many stories of friends of mine who wanted help and who told me the dream they wanted to come true.

Every night for a month this lady from the class here went to her neighbor’s house and talked with her and made her think of the qualities she most wanted in a husband

You represent that friend to yourself as he should be seen by the whole world

you single out that individual’s request and persuade yourself that he is now the embodiment of the ideal that he wants to embody

You ask him, “What do you want?” and see that condition real for him, and then seeing it embody itself, you rejoice that one has been lifted out of the mire.

Do not ask another why he wants something. Give what he asks for.

Take an incorrigible child and bring him before your mind’s eye and see him as you would like to see him and he will embody that state.

If you know someone who would like this or that, you do not raise a finger physically, but dream it for them.

If you are too close to your own picture, do it for someone else and see that one as he would like to be seen by himself and then remain faithful to it.

I brought this doctor, in Imagination, before me and I put my hand on his face. I put it on a face that had no lumps. I felt only smooth skin.

I do not need to be next door to help another. There is no separation or time without consent.

you assume that this person is acting as he should and you hear the conversation and what they would say if they were now the kind of individual you want them to be

You can take someone in your world and represent them to yourself as you would like to see them. To the degree you are self-persuaded he is such a being, he becomes it. You are actually freeing him

You don’t need his consent or knowledge. Don’t tell him what you are doing. Trust this power in your own being.

imagine it’s flowing through you and now from you and flowing towards someone you think of

But don’t let him go or her go into the vacuum; see them gainfully employed before you let them go. When you give them their severance pay, bring them into your mind’s eye and see them more gainfully employed than you employed them.

If your friend is not well and you want the friend to be well

Represent him to yourself as though he now embodied the state you want him to realise in this world.

you can take an individual friend, a member of your family, and decide this day you are going to bring about some blessing in the individual’s life

You take your imaginary hand and put it into the hand of a friend, the imaginary hand of a friend, and there you congratulate him on his good fortune.

bless a friend by just imagining the friend is with you and you are putting your hand into his and congratulating him on the good news you’ve heard concerning him

So what would she say to you had she realised it?

any time that you exercise your imagination, and do it lovingly on behalf of another, you are mediating God to man

grant to everyone the good he asks of you, without putting your hand in your pocket. Grant it by an imaginal act on your part.

I thought of him and I instantly, while in the act of shaving, imagined I was speaking to my wife, and I said to her, “Isn’t it wonderful, the good news concerning George?”

Turn to a loved one and commune with the loved one concerning this man, just as though it were a fact.

Take someone who is really distressed, and if you believe in the foundation you will leave here tonight without any concern for them, even if you receive wires stating things are worse.

the world – like music – by a new setting, turns all its discords into harmonies

As for yourself, your desire for another must be an intense one.

In meditation, you must represent the other to yourself as already being or having the greatness you desire for him.

He sees himself and others as he desires himself and them to be.

I would then congratulate him on his good fortune, tell him that I have never seen him look better.

So you represent him to yourself as other than what he appears to be, persuade yourself of the reality of that imaginal act

you can lift him out of it by representing that individual to yourself as you would like to see him, and put him in that state

I should create the state I want to see you expressing this world, and put you in that state
