(i) Habit of visualisation
Visualisation is the faculty of our mind that enables us to see through our mind's eye. Every one has got this faculty in an underdeveloped form. Ordinarily the forms of things come to our mind only for a moment and then they vanish. But by training in concentration, we can fix our mind for a long time on a single image and can see it vividly with our eyes closed as if we are seeing the actual object itself.“
For the practice, take a picture of some holy personage or any beautiful object that appeals to you and fix it before you. Look at it fixedly for a moment and then close your eyes and reproduce the picture before your mind's eye. At first it will come in flashes, that is, it will appear for a while and then vanish. Gradually it will get fixed by practice. You simply try to fix your mind on the image with in.
Besides this regular practice you should cultivate the habit of visualisation. See a thing clearly and then taking your eyes off, visualise it with your eyes closed or open. Do this with the words of the book you read and pictures you handle and with the faces of your friends and dear ones. On a few days of practice you will find that images of certain objects you can reproduce very vividly. The practice is becoming easier to you and you are learning to observe things more minutely as well as developing a faculty that is pregnent with vast possibilities."
When we achieved this stage we can produce many objective spiritual phenomenan and can have many similar subjective experiences. For example, you can influence other people from a distance, without their knowledge. You can make other people see the object you are visualising. This is called Projecting, that is, you can project your mental visions before others who will take them for real objects. But these are no real material objects. They are merely thought-images which exist only in the minds of the spectators, is clear from the fact that such objects can not be photographed.
The art of projecting will give you a power, that will enable you to bend other people's mind to your purpose, you can develop it and the progress in it would encourage you to persevere on with the practice.
