Very clear as well! again, thank you!
I am glad to annonce, it's the first time i get to understand the 
importance of imagination and it's fonction.
It does explained well Bardon's intructions on using "the utmost 
imagination" for food impregnation, breathing etc...( strait from the 
1st step ! )
I shall remember "in the mental realm, like attracts like" for this 
little statement seems to contain great explanation on most of 
exercices.

Sounds like the Isataveda concept, or identification with deity, or 
at least it could describe the workings of prayers and others 
techniques.
