Window panes.
Do you see them?

Good, now can you see the glass forming in between them?

Okay, what do you see outside the window?

That won't do, I want you to see a city landscape.

Excellent.
Now I want you to see walls.
White walls.

Good, good.
Now see the rest of the room.
I want you to see a long conference table, and swiveling chairs.

Okay, now you need to see people.
Greedy, stuffy, bigoted faces.
They are all staring at you.

Now put this room in a building.

What floor are you on?

Now that won't do, you need to be higher.
About thirty floors higher.

Good, good.
Now, I want you to focus your attention back on the window.
How big is it?

Bigger, make the whole wall a window.

Okay, now here's what I want you to do, I want you to run towards the window and break through the glass.

Excellent.
