Plait 1

“As soon as there is a need to 'spotlight' the approaching frame, an image appears in my mind. Then I repeat it in words and reinforce it all with positive feelings.”

First you need to activate the plait, then draw the image on the screen, or say it silently to yourself. In this order.

“How important is the issue of having faith in what you spotlight? It is not that I doubt my desires, so much as that, sometimes, depending on my mood, doubtful thoughts encroach on my mind.”

Faith will come later. First, take action. This is why Tufti recommends frequent practice: firstly, to develop the plait, and secondly, to alter the weave of your conditioned thinking. When you repeatedly check that the plait works, then you will believe in it.

“Are there any safety precautions or recommendations for working with the plait? What are the do's and don'ts?”

You can read about the plait in more detail in the chapter “Plait with Flow”. As soon as you locate your plait, various sensations will arise – people experience this differently. You may experience uncomfortable sensations temporarily, but these will soon pass. Nothing disturbing enough to warrant speaking of safety precautions has been noted so far.

“Is it worth activating the plait during prayer? Or does the power of prayer not require strengthening by means of the plait?”

This is not for me to judge, as I am not a man of the cloth. But I think that if you address God, He will hear you anyway. If you address reality, or rather, if it is your intention to change reality, then the plait will significantly strengthen your intention.

“I have two problems: I can't concentrate for any length of time on visualizing my goal. Nor can I picture the plait. If there is an algorithm for this, please write.”

It is not essential that you be able to imagine your goal for any length of time. The plait technique is designed for short moments of concentrated focus on the goal frame. For more information on how to picture the plait, see the chapter “Plait with Flow”.

“A question: when spotlighting a frame, a goal, should you spotlight just one frame, or can you spotlight one, two, or three? After all, life is multifaceted; you want this, that, the third, and the tenth…”

If you are already a plait master, you can spotlight a dozen frames in one plait session. As long as you are capable of concentrating on all those frames while keeping your plait activated. In addition, and not unimportantly, none of these frames should contradict one another. None of your frames should contradict another under any circumstances.

But generally speaking, it is better to spend each plait session on a single frame. This approach is more reliable, and you stop you from getting confused. As for the other frames, likewise, work with them individually, over the course of the day. You can spotlight various individual frames a number of times; the most important thing is to be consistent.

“This question may be repeated often, but here it is: I cannot feel the plait and I don't understand when to activate it. I don't feel it physically or energetically, but it does work when I try to do small things: sit on a specific seat in the bus, or acquire something. At the same time, I repeat, there is no moment of plait activation! Or so I think. I do not push it; I do not tense my muscles; maybe I should not wait for a sensation of heat or energy to appear between the shoulder blades, and instead, should just imagine that it is there?! This technique is amazing! I really want to get to grips with it!”

If you cannot feel the plait, then either you do not feel your energy at all, or your plait is severely atrophied. What you do not use atrophies, like the muscles. The plait needs to be developed with constant exercise. Work with the energies as described in the chapter “Plait with Flow”.

If your plait has atrophied, this does not mean that it will not work on the most simple things. Even if you do not feel anything, it is enough to focus your attention on the spot between the shoulder blades and then spotlight the frame. This will be sufficient. In the book Priestess Itfut, even the priestess could not feel the plait right from the very outset.

The time will come when your plait will develop, and you will be able to manipulate it as easily as you do your hand, and then you will be able to manifest more complex things.

“What should you do if you can't reach a clear sensation of the plait or its tip? In this case, can you just visualize the plait (trying still to catch the sensation of it)? Will it still be effective?”

Matilda, in the book Priestess Itfut, also failed to grasp a clear sense of the plait. She felt a kind of heaviness in her back, which can be interpreted in different ways. Matilda did not feel her plait specifically as a plait jutting out of the back of her head and rising when it was activated. She had an intermediary, a bow, that caused her to pay attention to the area of her spine – that is all. Whenever she focused her attention on the bow (not on the plait, note), everything worked out for her. And it will work for you, too.

But of course, it is definitely worth visualizing the plait and trying to grasp the sensation of it. It will manifest itself in one form or another. Then you will feel it for yourself and you will understand what it is.

“Could you draw an approximate diagram of the plait, what it looks like, and where it is located.”

A diagram of the plait and its position will not help, and may even hinder, because it is a subjective feeling, experienced by each in their own way. You simply need to feel that there is something in the area of the shoulder blades. If the feeling reappears from time to time, then you know that it is real. What kind of feeling this is, does not matter. Sensations experienced in other places, in the solar plexus, for example, are something else. The plait is situated just behind the shoulder blades. If you rack your brains wondering where exactly, and how precisely, nothing will happen. Do not put so much pressure on yourself. Sense that there is something behind your shoulder blades, then, without letting go of this feeling, imagine the frame you desire in front of you on your inner screen, or in thoughts and words. It is simple: you feel it, focus for a minute at most, record the frame, and then shake off the sensation.

“Imagine two first graders, № 1 and № 2. № 1 is learning to solve difficult problems on their own, so it takes them more time. № 2 has a magic wand that helps them solve problems quickly without any effort. By the time these first graders reach the 11th grade, № 1 has experience and knowledge, knows how to solve any task, and has great capabilities. If you take the wand away from № 2, it will become apparent that they have not progressed from the level of first-grader. There will have been neither growth nor development. Do not take this literally. It is an approximate picture, and not meant as criticism. Is the Tufti method a magic wand? A way of avoiding obstacles?”

You are no doubt trying to say that a schoolboy who uses the plait might not learn anything? Or pass exams without having to prepare for them? That is not how it works. The plait is not a magic wand. It just helps you move on to a film roll, in which you pick an easy question or are set a familiar task. But you still cannot get away without studying. How can an athlete manage without training sessions? Unfavorable situations sometimes arise during competitions and exams. The plait simply enables you to cross to a film roll in which the situations are favorable, and everything goes smoothly. So-called miracles happen in the simplest cases. In more difficult situations, you have to work with the plait, and put in the physical effort.

“The plait is not working for me at all. I am even starting to doubt whether this is all true. I am doing everything right, I think. I imagine that there is something like a plait behind me at the level of the shoulder blades, and with this image on the inner screen, I switch on my desire and hold it for about a minute. In cases where I do this before events that may go one way or the other, the 50/50 statistics mean nothing. If I simply imagine an event that I want to manifest, so far nothing has come true, although I repeat the technique quite often. What am I doing wrong? I do not feel any special sensations. I just pretend that the plait exists.”

This should work. If it does not work, there may be three reasons for this: 1. The plait is very poorly developed, and you need to practice more often. 2. You are making an effort. It takes effort to lift a barbell. If you apply the same diligence to working with the plait, you will not get the results you want.

Note that if you are trying very hard, pushing yourself, and your muscles are all tense, this indicates that inner intention is at work. Outer intention does not belong to you, hence the name. What is required here is not sweat but simply for you to “lift your little finger”. You just pretend that you are intending to do something yourself. After all, it is not you, who can free up the space for yourself at the parking lot. But outer intention can. And for this to happen, all outer intention requires is your little finger – the plait. The plait is your “ruse” for outer intention.
