acquired a working knowledge of Concentration, and have practiced the exercises. Now, for the production of results:

You expect to have an interview with a man, in a few days, in which you hope to interest him in your plans and enterprises. This man is perhaps a stranger to you, or at least is indifferent to you and there exists no attraction on his part towards you. You know that you will be able to influence him by the methods already explained, but you wish, if possible, to open up direct communication with him before the interview - to get en rapport with him at a distance. You are perfectly right in feeling that your chances of success will be improved by these means, as once you manage to get en rapport with a man or woman, you have gained an important point, for that person cannot help feeling an interest in you thereafter - perhaps a strong interest.

Calm yourself and secure a passive, restful frame of mind, thinking of nothing outside of yourself, and, above everything else, shut out all disturbing fear thoughts. You will be able to do this easily by concentration.

Do not frown or clinch your fists in your efforts to "think," but remain passive and relaxed - the effort must be a calm, steady mental effort. You will be assisted by the closing of the eyes and the production of a mental image of the person with whom you wish to get en rapport. If you have never seen this person, make the mental figure without distinct features. After a few trials you will notice that the mental picture seems more real to you, in fact, you realize that in some way you are in mental contact with the other person. When this stage is attained, then you will let your mind dwell on your wishes in regard to this person, and imagine him doing as you wish. Your
