Notes from Neville Goddard's Prayer: the Art of Believing
Eliminate all moods except the mood of fulfilled desire. Feel and accept as true what your objective senses deny. You need not a strong will but clear thinking, and feeling the truth of the state affirmed. Get into the spirit of mental conversations and give them the same degree of reality you would a telephone conversation. Have confident expectation of your desired state.
The subjective mind (yours) performs best the more completely the objective mind (theirs) is kept in ignorance of the suggestion you are giving them telepathically. Represent the subject to yourself mentally as though he (or she) had already done that which you desire him to do. Your subjective mind will transmit only your fixed ideas. Prayer is the feeling of fulfilled desire. You have nothing to do but convince yourself of the truth of that which you desire to see manifest.

What if your inner senses are dull, such that you are not able to "hear" or "see" in imagination? Then can you carry on a one-sided conversation? We do that all the time in our heads... at least I do. Go on and on having a "conversation" saying what we'd like to say or should have said to someone. But when I do that, it's usually just me talking AT the other person. So if this imaginal conversing, coupled with the mood/feeling/belief of fulfillment is what cause its out-picturing, how successful can one be if they do not possess strong imaginitive faculty?

As successful as they develop it. It takes practice and effort, concentration without trying too hard. It is a skill that is built up, refined over time. Spend the time and the effort if you want success in this particular endeavor. You do not have to do it. You can just trust God in and through your love and praise to do the best for you. Have your one-sided conversations with him -- can't go wrong. He may make you able to see and hear. Don't be surprised.
