When you understand what a Timeline is, you can use it to influence people. Then, the more you understand what a Time Line is the more you will notice when other people are influencing you, whether they realise it or not!

A Time Line is simply the line you can draw between the imagined location of things that haven’t even happened yet and between the remembered location of (visual) memories (images) of past events that don’t exist anymore. If you imagine something vividly from the past and notice where your eyes are looking and then think of a different memory from the past and notice the location of that, you can start to plot a line from the past to the future.

Some people will say they don’t visualize. It would be best for that kind of person to ask someone close to them to observe their eyes as they imagine memories from the past – it is important for the observer to be someone who is observant; a person who is able to notice not only where the eyes move, but how focused or defocused they are – and they will notice that that person is looking in different places and focusing at different depths. They can then plot the Time Line for the other person.

Your Time Line maybe a straight line left to right, from behind you on the left hand side to in front of you on the right-hand side, or a crazy looping backward and forward scribble all over the place. Anything is possible, and there is no right or wrong answer, although some type of Time Line is more useful for certain things than others.

“As you see yourself in the future…” spoken to someone who is daydreaming about their future, “…and see all the things there…” while standing in the future of their Timeline will make it much more likely that you will feature at least to some degree in their future. Whether it’s just a casual thought a day later or marriage and the building of a business empire together will depend on your use of suggestion. People will have a total conviction that certain things are going to happen in their future. Dinner tonight, birthday in June, holiday in August, Christmas in December etc and if you can put your ideas into someone’s future just as concretely, they will have a total conviction of belief concerning your new ideas.
