Here’s Another One of Those Stories: The Equivalent of Money! (reprise)

I had been thinking of this story from some time back and wanted to showcase it again. It’s a goodie! This story is the perfect example of the equivalent of money. There are equivalents everywhere when we are manifesting. Money, health, perfect homes and partners all have very pleasant equivalents. In this story, J. just learned what that means first hand. Ken J. writes: Earlier this March I had the most interesting thing happen. Lately it has been a little too tight financially. There was too much of the month-to-month, pay the bills concerns. It’s so easy to slip into worry, so I use the word concern here. It has a lighter touch. OK, so my concern when I woke was to check my online banking to see if I had enough money on hand to pay the rent. If the account was lean then funds would have to come from savings. That’s fine, but if that continues the savings would disappear – a very bad thing. To keep that very bad outcome away, I have been using Manifesting 123 to create a good solution. As the book recommends, figure out what you desire in your future. Also, if something is really bothering you now, have a scene in your future where that problem has been resolved – it doesn’t exist. My big problem is not having enough financial cushion to stay months ahead of my bills. This is what I did. I have a movie scene in my future where I can clearly see that my bills are paid a year in advance and indefinitely forward. I heard the author offer that phrase when I attended his workshop last year and I jumped on it. So after logging in to my online banking 10 days ago I got a big surprise, a Very Big Surprise. Allow me to back up a few years. I started taking Social Security a bit early and it worked out really nicely for me. Until…. I was contacted by Social Security and they told me I made too much money one year. By the rules, I now had to pay back almost a full year of SS payments, about $12,000. That’s a very big Ouch! There is a good side though. 

I’m still eligible to receive monthly SS payments, but the $12,000 has to be paid back. However, it can be paid back by NOT getting the monthly payments for a time. That’s better than writing a check for the full amount in one lump sum. Eventually I’ll start getting SS again when the $12k is paid back. OK, fine. So back to this March and three days before I checked my online account. I had been wondering when I would begin receiving my SS checks again. I pulled out their paperwork and the letter informed me that beginning in March 2016, I would start getting full payments. That was great news because the first check would arrive in a couple of weeks. Here’s the big surprise part. When I checked my account online there was an extra $12,000 there! I literally blinked a few times and looked to see how the money got there. It was too early for the SS checking I was expecting and I would be noting like the $12K. The big deposit was directly from SS and further checking with my SS account indicated that it was a one-time payment. Incredible and it wasn’t a mistake. I went back into my paperwork and although the agency never informed me of such, they had withdrawn payments from me way too long and now they owed me! What an amazing outcome and it came just in time. Without that big deposit, I would have been digging into savings to cover the bills. Now it is just the opposite and I have a nice cushion to go forward with. Amazingly, my manifesting created an outcome to the letter! This isn’t the first time I’ve had a big result from what I learned in the book and it won’t be the last. It feels great to see your thoughts become real and thanks to the book I know how thought really works, a very important thing in my life. Knowing how my mind actually builds things helps to keep the worries in check too! What a great tool! Grateful, grateful, grateful and thank you, J.

The Universe is Waiting for You, So Please, Don’t Wait for the Universe

It is often heard and we say it ourselves, “I’ll leave it to the universe.” OK. For many people that means they are leaving it to God. It’s a good plan and in that case, many of us feel that the implied universe is God and our intention / prayer is heard. On the other hand, the universe is a very big place with many types of consciousness and who knows who or what we are allowing with that statement. That is not to promote fear or doubt, but this is a great opportunity to be specific and to address God or those you trust in this instance. In the book Manifesting 1,2,3 and you don’t need #3, the process of how our thoughts create our physical reality is clearly explained and proofed out. If you have a repetitive thought, so-called good or bad, your thought will begin to create what you imagine: physical items, scenarios, or concepts. This is revolutionary information and it is our great Gift. It is apparently allowed that our minds can create anything. In the newsletter archive, there are over 300 success stories illustrating how reader’s thoughts are creating specific outcomes again and again. How does this come about? How is it that our intentions are creating exacting results? Who set this up? How was this made this possible? Regardless, it is in our power to use our thoughts to create anything in our lives. Give it to the universe? OK, but at least in your mind, give it to a powerful and positive universe. Next, you can add your powerful manifesting gift. Taking personal responsibility comes to mind. If we are blessed with the remarkable gift of creation, then take the initiative and create your own desires. I would offer that the universe is waiting for us to make a move. The universe is set up to react to our thoughts and it will immediately take action. Now that it has been revealed in the book, what we we waiting for? In my radio interviews I clearly explain all of this. Yes, there is more in the book, but there is no holding back in my interviews. The information you need to get started is freely given. Start now and create the life of your dreams!

After Surgery, I Have to Find a New Home in Only Six Weeks. Will Manifesting Really Work?

S. writes: After returning home to recuperate from cancer surgery, my landlady knocked on my door one morning and announced that I had 6 weeks to vacate the little cottage I had lived in for 13 years. What a shock. She was firm in her decision because her son was moving in to live near her. Before moving on with my story, I should add that I did fully recover from my surgery, Grateful! To say the least, I was freaked out. Finding a rental in the Napa Valley was truly a difficult challenge. However, I made it an 8 hour per day job to look, ask and network to find a place to live that was in my price range. I had compiled a binder of all possibilities. Ken had told me about his book Manifesting 1,2,3 and you don’t need #3 and so I made a vision board. On it were several things on my “wish list” including that it be in St. Helena or the upper part of the Napa Valley where I’ve lived for 25 years. On this board was a photo of a place that was under construction named Magnolia Oaks, a housing development that had affordable apartments included but it wasn’t open yet. After 6 weeks, I hadn’t found a place to live that would be permanent. A friend had offered her late mother’s house me as a last resort, which was still furnished and vacant. She and her sister would rent it to me while I continued my search, but it was made very clear that it was temporary. So I packed up my little cottage and moved everything but my clothes into the garage of that house. With no phone service or internet for 2 weeks (thank you phone company that shall go un-named!), I continued my search from the local coffee shop where I could get internet and cell phone service. There were many challenging days during those 2 months of searching. I kept visualizing a clean, safe home that I could afford. As I did so, I kept touch with the Magnolia Oaks project, but got no encouragement. They still had to comply with lots of City regulations before they could begin accepting new residents. Reluctantly, I put down a deposit on an apartment in Napa in an old apartment complex. It was not very clean, needed painting and had some strange people living there. It was the only thing I could find. It felt creepy. One day I was in St. Helena and had this strong impulse to drive by Magnolia Oaks. There was the rental agent and he was just opening the new apartments to be rented! He remembered me and offered me a place. In order to qualify, I had to have lived in St. Helena for 20 + years (yes), be a senior (yes), and be able to pay the rent. YES! So, I went back to the Napa apartments and got my deposit back and was able to move. It was a brand new, clean, safe and pretty apartment and I felt at home! It took everything I had to stay positive and hopeful. This was such an example of what Ken teaches. I was very grateful. One of the important lessons in this for me was to stay open, grateful and keep the faith through visualization. Often I was tempted to let fear take over and cloud my vision, but I did not.

There are now over 350 stories archived on the website for your review and I hope yours will be on this newsletter in 2020. Let’s make it a fantastic New Year! Ken A synopsis of e each story follows. Click on the title link to read the entire story. Grateful? Pay it Forward Louise writes: A few years ago, I met a young woman that had just gone through a terrible divorce. Her husband had become a meth addict, stole her money and she had to start all over financially. There where a number of women gathered together for dinner that heard her story and of course, we agreed that it was terrible. Even Small Intentions Can Create the Dreams of a Lifetime J. writes: So, I fell into my current career path by accident. I was taking care of a boyfriend who had a major injury and was on crutches for five years. Eventually we broke up but remained friends. It was a good thing because he recommended me to a acquaintance of his that had Parkinson’s disease and needed full-time help. She became my first client. As time went on, I thought it would be more practical for me to live in her home rather than commute, so I brought it up to my client. I was without a home at the time and I had never planned providing live-in care as part of my future, but the idea mysteriously came to me and my client agreed. I remained there for 3 1/2 years. We Ask, Work Hard and Success Has Found Us I had a carpet cleaning business in Phoenix, Arizona and I met my wonderful wife there. Our story was one of those instant manifestation moments and was recently published in this newsletter. I hope you will read about how we met before we tell you the rest of our story. Here’s the story link Manifesting Success at the Rivers Edge: Peace, Joy, and 100K L. writes: I was fortunate to have come across the book Manifesting 1,2,3 and you don’t need #3, and as a result, I have had many stories that have ended up in this newsletter. Lately, I stopped focusing on manifesting my dreams and goals, because life just seems to get in the way and I simply wasn’t taking the time for it. There is plenty to do as a wife and a mom, and with a full-time job on top of that, the days just got filled up with other things. Manifesting Just Works: My Perfect Ranch! Marcy manifested her heart’s desire with few specifics and let her thoughts create the perfect solution. She didn’t specify how it would happen, only that in the future she was envisioning, it had clearly happened. Ken Marcy writes: I’ve lived on a 31-acre ranch for the last 24 years. It has been a labor of love, but I knew several years ago that as my husband and I aged, we would have to make a move to downsize the responsibility (work and money) a place like this requires. I always put it off because I could not envision myself living anywhere else. This ranch had been my lifelong dream. In fact, when I met my husband on our first date, he asked what I wanted to do with my life. I was 19!  I knew the answer to that right away. I wanted to live on a farm and have a family and raise horses. Well, after reading your book, I asked in deep meditation to change my attitude about leaving this wonderful place and help me become excited and hopeful for our next chapter in life. Can You Manifest $10,000 Twice? Why Not? B. writes: I was in a horrific car accident in May of 2018 which involved 5 vehicles, serious injuries and a fatality. Miraculously, I had minor injuries in spite of the severity of the crash.  I do not have a litigious mind so I did not expect any compensation or damages from the at-fault party and mentally, I just tried to move on. My vehicle had been rented so at least that was not my problem. But for some reason, a sum of $10,000 kept surfacing in my mind: I had some unanswered medical expenses resulting from the accident and also a few minor renovations I needed at home. Manifesting the Best Outcomes Just for You! Ken writes: Manifesting 1,2,3 and you don’t need #3 is all about the ideas that our thoughts literally create things and concepts, that your thoughts can build the future, and the book offers a clear description of how this all takes place.

The Science of Gratitude – Yours

Now that Thanksgiving has recently passed, let’s ask ourselves the question, “Are we still being aware of all the good that is around us?” You may also ask yourself, “What is being grateful good for?” I like what the reader Antoinette wrote in to say: “I want to add something about gratefulness. Being grateful has been instrumental in changing my view of past experiences. Being grateful for a (seemingly) bad experience can change the vibration of it. It takes a bit of work sometimes, but there’s always a Silver Lining.” Throughout the book, the point is made that gratitude is the magnifier of your positive thoughts. Your thoughts are creating form as you think it, as the book reveals. When you are manifesting with your thoughts alone, successes do happen, but with the addition of gratefulness, your thoughts become even more powerful. A November 23, 2019 article in the NY Times by psychologist David DeSteno reported on what researchers have been learning about the positive aspects of gratitude. It has the intriguing title, Why Gratitude is Wasted on Thanksgiving and some of those findings are listed below. Quoting: “Beyond the use of gratitude as a manifesting tool mentioned earlier, the researchers found a number of positive, everyday results that correlated with people simply being grateful.”  Research by the psychologist Sara Algoe has shown that when we feel grateful for other people’s thoughtfulness, we consider that they might be worth getting to know a little better. Gratitude pushes us to take the first steps in forming relationships with new people. When people in DeSteno’s experiments were given an opportunity to share money with strangers, they found that those feeling gratitude shared 12 percent more on average. His research also found that gratitude also drives us to be more productive. Quoting from the article again: “The psychologists Adam Grant and Francesca Gino found that when bosses expressed gratitude for their workers’ efforts in a fund-raising department, the outreach efforts of those workers suddenly jumped by 33 percent. More frequent feelings of gratitude in the office are also tied to greater feelings of work satisfaction and well-being.” There is an innate ‘goodness’ in gratitude and it is not only powerful in our here and now, but also in a future of our making, built with our thoughts. Oh, and one more important tip: Judy Goodman is quoted in Manifesting 1,2,3 and you don’t need #3recommending that we name seven grateful things each day. Be grateful for the things in your present AND for past events as well. Gratitude clears the field, allowing more of the good to flow to you!

Need an Improbable Solution? Manifest It Quick!

I had a problem, two of them actually and the were both very important. I recently moved to a very nice city on the water and it was working out quite well. I was close to my daughter and I secured a solid job there. Over a year later, my daughter got her wings, graduating from college and around the same time I began to develop respiratory health problems. It wasn’t getting better over time and after seeing a doctor about it, I was told that I was very sensitive to the mold in the air. It was the proximity to the water and it was in the air everywhere. Apparently all I need to do was to get to a drier climate. It was time to move. My job was with the U.S. government, writing scientifically oriented operational manuals. That’s a fairly specialized  job description and not one that is around every street corner. Since I went into this specialized office every day to do the work, my chances of transferring to another office somewhere where very slim. I let my boss know what I was thinking of and then went to work on a solution. I am well aware of the book Manifesting 1,2,3 and you don’t need #3 and I put it to work. Without being specific, I simply began to visualize a future where my career and finances were just fine in my new location. In the past I have manifested many good things but I have to say that when this solution came it took me by surprise. Isn’t that how it goes? My boss got back to me and let me know that I could work remotely from wherever I chose to live. I couldn’t have imagined it, but it was absolutely the very best solution for me and happily, I can get more work done more efficiently that way. It was a win-win solution. Wow. OK, now about where to live next-the third problem. I’m manifesting a solution and it is currently unfolding. There will be more about that later.

Manifest Your Solution and Sometimes a Bonus Tags Along!

Hi Ken, this is seemingly small compared to some of the stories you have published, but the principle is the same. I ordered decorative window film for my bedroom window. It’s wide enough to cover the entire bottom of the window, but 11″ tall so that I can leave the blinds open enough to compensate for the air conditioner unit.    My bedroom window is near the stairs of the entrance to the second floor of the building I live in, so inevitably, folks walk really close to my window. I ordered the film for my own comfort and assurance that I would not have unwanted eyes peeking in.   The order went through and I was assured that my order would be delivered from the east coast in a week or so. Shortly after, I got the email that my package was on the way and I was given a tracking number. Every few days I checked on the progress of the package and when it reached Phoenix, I was sure it would be delivered the following day. However, it didn’t come.   I called customer service and they assured me after verifying my address, that I would have it and no later than 1:30pm. The next time I checked the delivery status, my package was backtracking and was now in Texas!   I meditate every day, so I did the manifesting movie that I learned in Manifesting 1,2, 2 and you don’t need #3. I was manifesting a perfect solution to this problem quickly. When I checked the package track the next day, it was located in Tennessee. What? I called customer service and they were pleasant enough, but didn’t know what to say, so they offered me a 60% discount on my original price and assured me that the package would arrive the following day. We went back and forth for a couple of days and again, I watched the track of that package get further and further away.   Calling customer service again, I told them if my package didn’t arrive I would just cancel the order and purchase it somewhere else. As before, they were very nice and offered me a $20 gift card along with wishes for a better day. It did make it really easy to stay calm and to laugh over the calamity. I kept to my manifesting.   The next day, the package still hadn’t arrived so I called customer service one more time. They apologized for my inconvenience and allowed me to cancel the order. They gave me a total refund because my package was now in Kentucky!  No one knows why my Phoenix bound package did a U-turn, but as it turned out, I got a refund and a bonus of not $20 as they said, but a $25 gift card instead. I ordered the same item from Amazon (cheaper) and got it the next day. I took just a little more time, but I saved money and made some money. What an interesting solution.   So, even the little things work in manifesting. It was a nice proof of concept for me.

Can you manifest $10,000 twice? Why not?

I was in a horrific car accident in May of 2018 which involved 5 vehicles, serious injuries and a fatality. Miraculously, I had minor injuries in spite of the severity of the crash.  I do not have a litigious mind so I did not expect any compensation or damages from the at-fault party and mentally, I just tried to move on. My vehicle had been rented so at least that was not my problem. But for some reason, a sum of $10,000 kept surfacing in my mind: I had some unanswered medical expenses resulting from the accident and also a few minor renovations I needed at home. This amount had been on my brain for MONTHS! I practiced manifesting for it. Well, low and behold, in June of 2019, $10K showed up, in an unusual way. A very dear (and wealthy) friend of ours donated $10,000 to my daughter’s film campaign. Olivia Kuan is my daughter and a professional cinematographer. She is in the process of creating a documentary, “Brick House” about my days playing for The Houston Herricanes in the Women’s Professional Football League during the 1970’s. No, not soccer. Women’s American tackle football. OK, the money didn’t come to me, but that was good enough! I kind of thought I had met my $10K manifestation. Even though it had been months since the accident, in a surprise phone call I learned early in 2019 that the at-fault party intended to compensate me for damages. They said they “presumed” I would file. I kept my composure and replied, of course. I chose not to hire an attorney as my award would not have been that much based on research and advice from various well-informed individuals. So, I picked up my $10K mantra again as the negotiations dragged on. Why not? But I was also told by my sources that $10K is quite a bit more than I should expect. Sixteen months after the accident, the insurer finally made their offer, $8,930! With encouragement from my attorney friend, I countered reasonably. The final offer was around $10,600. Well, of course I accepted! So, I’m at it again, but I’m cranking it up exponentially. Olivia needs $100K to complete and distribute her film. She’s done exceptionally well with her campaign and in securing investors thus far but there is still a way to go. I’m visualizing success.
