[0:10](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/Mv9nbKN7FFT1/en/the-ladder-experiment-imagination-and-manifestation?t=10) I ask you to do one thing and one thing only.

[0:15](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/Mv9nbKN7FFT1/en/the-ladder-experiment-imagination-and-manifestation?t=15) Before you fall asleep tonight, imagine that you are climbing a ladder.

[0:20](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/Mv9nbKN7FFT1/en/the-ladder-experiment-imagination-and-manifestation?t=20) Do not think of climbing it. Do not hope you will climb it.

[0:25](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/Mv9nbKN7FFT1/en/the-ladder-experiment-imagination-and-manifestation?t=25) Feel it. Feel the cool metal of the rungs beneath your hands.

[0:31](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/Mv9nbKN7FFT1/en/the-ladder-experiment-imagination-and-manifestation?t=31) Feel the pressure under the soles of your feet.

[0:34](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/Mv9nbKN7FFT1/en/the-ladder-experiment-imagination-and-manifestation?t=34) Feel the upward motion of your body as you rise rung by rung.

[0:38](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/Mv9nbKN7FFT1/en/the-ladder-experiment-imagination-and-manifestation?t=38) Now listen carefully. This is where the secret lies.

[0:42](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/Mv9nbKN7FFT1/en/the-ladder-experiment-imagination-and-manifestation?t=42) During the day, I want you to say to yourself, "I will not climb a ladder."

[0:48](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/Mv9nbKN7FFT1/en/the-ladder-experiment-imagination-and-manifestation?t=48) Write it down if you wish. Say it aloud.

[0:50](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/Mv9nbKN7FFT1/en/the-ladder-experiment-imagination-and-manifestation?t=50) Mean it. And yet, at night, you climb. Why does this work?

[0:57](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/Mv9nbKN7FFT1/en/the-ladder-experiment-imagination-and-manifestation?t=57) Because manifestation has nothing to do with effort, willpower, or strain.

[1:03](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/Mv9nbKN7FFT1/en/the-ladder-experiment-imagination-and-manifestation?t=63) It has everything to do with impression.

[1:06](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/Mv9nbKN7FFT1/en/the-ladder-experiment-imagination-and-manifestation?t=66) The subconscious mind does not respond to words.

[1:09](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/Mv9nbKN7FFT1/en/the-ladder-experiment-imagination-and-manifestation?t=69) It responds to feeling. When you imagine climbing the ladder in a relaxed, drowsy state, you impress the subconscious.

[1:19](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/Mv9nbKN7FFT1/en/the-ladder-experiment-imagination-and-manifestation?t=79) And when you consciously deny it during the day, you remove desire, attachment, and anxiety.

[1:27](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/Mv9nbKN7FFT1/en/the-ladder-experiment-imagination-and-manifestation?t=87) You let it go. This is the law of detachment in action.

[1:32](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/Mv9nbKN7FFT1/en/the-ladder-experiment-imagination-and-manifestation?t=92) You are no longer trying to make it happen.

[1:34](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/Mv9nbKN7FFT1/en/the-ladder-experiment-imagination-and-manifestation?t=94) You are no longer watching the world for signs.

[1:38](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/Mv9nbKN7FFT1/en/the-ladder-experiment-imagination-and-manifestation?t=98) And because you are no longer interfering, it happens.

[1:44](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/Mv9nbKN7FFT1/en/the-ladder-experiment-imagination-and-manifestation?t=104) You will find yourself climbing a ladder naturally, effortlessly, without planning it.

[1:51](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/Mv9nbKN7FFT1/en/the-ladder-experiment-imagination-and-manifestation?t=111) And when it happens, you will realize something profound.

[1:54](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/Mv9nbKN7FFT1/en/the-ladder-experiment-imagination-and-manifestation?t=114) It was never the ladder you were after. It was proof.

[1:57](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/Mv9nbKN7FFT1/en/the-ladder-experiment-imagination-and-manifestation?t=117) Proof that imagination, when accepted as reality, must objectify itself.

[2:04](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/Mv9nbKN7FFT1/en/the-ladder-experiment-imagination-and-manifestation?t=124) So I tell you, apply the same principle to every desire.

[2:10](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/Mv9nbKN7FFT1/en/the-ladder-experiment-imagination-and-manifestation?t=130) Imagine the end. Feel it as real, then release it.

[2:17](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/Mv9nbKN7FFT1/en/the-ladder-experiment-imagination-and-manifestation?t=137) For what you impress upon the subconscious in feeling must appear in your world without force, without struggle, and without delay
