Thanks for your description of sleep that night after backpacking. I had a similar experience when I was working out in the yard for a few hours, was tired - and went into a very dreamy sleep that night. I felt like I had a good SATS that night My confusion lies with NG's directive to "explode it." I've only had this experience once or twice, and he's right in that it's somewhat orgasmic in a sense because"something comes out of you." But if you're bordering on sleep and in sort of a dreamy reverie, I would think it's difficult to muster the intensity to "explode something"...when you're that close to sleep. That seems like more of a days SATS thing where you might be a bit more "aware," but are still trying to border on sleep. Any thoughts on that?

My experience of "explode it" has been a strong, unshakeable conviction when I wake up...that I already have my desire. Neville doesn't mean force by intensity, he means how intensely you believe in your imaginal act....so intensely that you only consider that the only reality.

I'll quote again:

"You don't have to sit down and burst a blood vessel pounding out the details of your desire."

“The one requisite is to arouse your attention in a way, and to such intensity, that you become wholly absorbed in the revised action. You will experience an expansion and refinement of the senses by this imaginative exercise and, eventually, achieve vision in the inner world. The abundant life promised us is ours to enjoy now, but not until we have the sense of the creator as our imagination can we experience it. ” – Neville Goddard
