I had one very interesting case. This lady had never seen me before, but she heard about me, and she postponed it and postponed it because, well, she thought I might be some magician or something. So she came in this day and I explained to her what I do. Well, her problem was this, a friend of hers had disappeared and she hadn’t heard from her or seen her in over a year. Some friend of hers had told her to come to me and I could help her find this friend. So she came, and I said, all I can tell you is that you don’t understand this teaching of mine, you’ve never been to my meetings, you never read my books, you know nothing of me, so I can’t give you a lesson now, but I’ll tell you what I want you to do. Talk to me a little while and tell me about your friend so I may get your voice, which she did. I said now to be perfectly silent, very, very still, and all you do you imagine that you’re telling me that you’ve found her. I’m going to sit perfectly still here and I’m going to imagine that you are telling me that you have found her. Well, she said that doesn’t make sense. I said, well, I can’t explain the reason behind this, but I’ll tell you, you try it anyway. So she did. I took her to the door and said goodbye to her. Well, she went out as though she’d met an insane person, perfectly mad, because I’d seemed to her so completely off base as it were.722 ¶30
