Begin by having the projector select some prominent object in the room, a chair, or table for instance.  Then have him take your left hand in his right hand.  Raise your left hand, held in his right hand, to your forehead; then close your eyes and remain passive a few moments.  Have him concentrate his mind intently on the selected object—­and will that you should move toward it.  Have him think of nothing else except that object, and to will you to move toward it, with all his power.  Close your eyes, and quiet your mind, opening your consciousness to every mental impression that he may send you.  Instruct him to think not merely “chair,” for instance, but rather “there—­go there.”  The main thought in his mind must be that of direction.  He must will that you move toward that chair.

After a moment or two, you will begin to feel a vague, general impulse to move your feet.  Obey the impulse.  Take a few slow steps in any direction that seems easy to you.  Sometimes this will take you in an opposite direction from that of the chair, but it will “get you going,” and you will soon begin to feel that the direction is “all wrong,” and will begin to be mentally pulled in the right direction.  You will have to actually experience this feeling, before you will fully understand just what I mean.

After some little practice, you will begin to feel quite distinctly the mental direction, or will-force, of the projector, which will seem to tell you to “come this way—­now stop—­now turn a little to the right—­now a little to the left—­now stop where you are, and put out your right hand—­lower your hand—­move your hand a little to the right—­that’s it, now you have got it all right.”  You will soon learn to distinguish between the “no, that’s wrong” thought, and the “that’s right” one; and between the “go on,” and the “come on” one.  By making yourself completely passive, and receptive and obedient to the thought and will-impulses of the projector, you will soon act like a ship under the influence of the rudder in the hand of the projector.

After you have attained proficiency in receiving the mental impressions and directions, you will find yourself attracted or drawn, like a piece of steel to the magnet, toward the object selected.  It will sometimes seem as if you were being moved to it even against your own will—­and as if someone else were actually moving your feet for you.  Sometimes the impulse will come so strong that you will actually rush ahead of the projector, dragging him along with you, instead of having him a little in advance, or by your side.  It is all a matter of practice.

You will soon discover the great difference between different projectors.  Some of them will be in perfect en rapport condition with you, while others will fail to get into tune with you.  Some projectors do not seem to know what is required of them, and usually forget to “will” you to the object.  It helps sometimes to tell them that the whole thing depends upon their will power, and that the stronger their will is, the easier it is for you to find the thing.  This puts them on their mettle, and makes them use their will more vigorously.
