The Extraordinary: Manifesting, Prayer and Making Even More (reprise)

There are two people at the core of Manifesting 1,2,3 and you don’t need #3. They are the Out of Body Author William Buhlman and the remarkably gifted individual and author, coach, counselor, speaker and teacher Judy Goodman. Both William and Judy described how they could see our repeated thoughts begin to take form in the non-physical realms and eventually take physical form in our lives. Clearly, this information and how to use it is a key to the kingdom and it forms the basis of the book. Having been in conversation with Judy over the last few days, I asked her, “What are your wishes?” She essentially explained that has no wishes, and she doesn’t ask or manifest things in the way that most people do. Instead, she asks for the extraordinary to happen. What follows is something that Judy has seen and experienced and she is passing it on to us for the first time here. Now you have another key to the kingdom, simple as that, but it needs a little explaining. Manifesting is about specifying an outcome with our thoughts, a gift or an ability equally available to everyone. In addition, we are also allowed to ask, to pray and we typically do so with a clear result in mind. What is suggested here is another method, an additional one for asking in another, powerful way. For yourself, simply ask without limits, without a specified outcome or the when and how it may happen. This method may also be used for others in the same way, again without limits or exacting outcomes. Personally, I am very grateful for a powerful, new creation tool for me and particularly for others. Here’s why… Of course, we can ask and manifest for ourselves, but when asking for others, there are limits. An analogy would be that we want our child to do well, but in the child’s life there are lessons for the child to experience and learn from on their own. It is their walk in this life and we can’t take their math test for them. So rather than ask for them to get a good grade, perhaps it is better to ask that their best and highest good be done. We could also ensure that before the test, the child is rested and well-fed. Asking for exact outcomes is a bit tricky and we do want to create the best possible outcome, so here is an additional tool, using the word extraordinary. This is simple. I can write about it more and will, but here is all that is necessary. I’ll follow with a recent story. To begin, just be who you are without other thoughts or concerns pulling on you. For a few moments, just calmly be you. Be you without judgement or doubts. You are going to ask for something Extraordinary for yourself or others. This Extraordinary is like a seed. You only have to ask once. You can repeat if you like, but since you are requesting the God of your understanding to do this, it will be done the first time. This is not a wish, but a request, and since it is much like a seed growing, numerous and Extraordinary events will follow without any further requests from you. Here are the words to make this request this for yourself, another person, a group, the country, the world and more. Just visualize the person or group in your mind and say: “Send a seed of something Extraordinary to …….” Then be in gratitude for the gifts that are being sent out on your behalf. Nothing else is required. Anything else is limiting in some way. What happens? Something extraordinary will happen and it will be over the top special to you or the person or group you sent it to.It is special just to them. It may not address the need you feel is obvious, but we don’t really have the entire scope of things, even for ourselves. How often have we learned that before a big goal is reached, a number of smaller events have to unfold first? The Extraordinary takes the best path and usually through a series of recognizable and unique steps that stand out, each in its own way. This act is powerful, “magical” and often joyful. Keep it just this simple and let it go. So for an illustrative story:Judy Goodman required some fairly complicated dental work. Her long-time dentist performed the work for her over three days and that is only part of the necessary treatments. More will be required in about two more months. Judy wanted to do something for the Doc but didn’t know what would be most appreciated by him. After considering several different options, she opted for a way to bring him something that would be joyful and perfect just for him. So, on the day that ended the first set of treatments, Judy visualized the Doc and said, “Send a seed of something Extraordinary to the Doc.” She let it go without any expectations of the what, when or how and expressed her gratitude. The Doc had a golf tournament later that day. It is a sport that gives him a lot of pleasure and he was looking forward to the competition. In the tournament was another golfer that has won this event for the last three years, making the challenge even keener. Later that day, Judy got a call from the Doc. He checked in to see how she was doing after the office visit that morning and then let Judy know that at the end of the competition, he had won the tournament. I saw the call come in and they were both very excited! Winning that event was a real thrill for the Doc and the icing on the cake is that he won it with his performance on the very last hole. How extraordinary and it happened on the same day of Judy’s request! Of all the gifts that Judy could offer, a perfect and joyful experience was created, unique for the Doc. The Extraordinary will

Yes, I Manifested My Husband

We are constantly manifesting and just about everyone has a story. I was talking with a new friend and brought up the subject other her. I asked her if she had any manifesting examples and the replied with the title today, “Yes I manifested my husband.”  I am so glad she is sharing her story with us. Ken A. writes: Here’s how I manifested my husband. I must have read somewhere that you should make a list of what you want in your partner or your spouse. So, I made this list after a series of unsuccessful relationships and observing people I knew I would never want to marry. So I thought, I better get serious and right now. What do I really want from someone I would marry? I wrote all of those aspects down and then I told my sister about it. She said, “Make sure that your husband owns his own house, okay?” I thought that was kind of weird. I was only 25 or 26 and I didn’t know if I’m going to be able to find someone who owns their own house but whatever, I’ll throw it on the list: Owns his own home. Shortly after, I met a man at work and he fit most all the all the things on my list, but I didn’t realize it at the time. My list was fairly specific, about a dozen items, but I can’t remember exactly what they were. They mostly consisted of personality traits and characteristics. I had a friend that was encouraging me to out with him, so I did, meeting my future husband although I didn’t know it yet. We went to a concert and continued going out. This whole dating thing was interesting because I really didn’t know this guy and he was not someone I would normally date. That prompted me to refer to my list and I was a bit surprised to see that he fit the list exactly except for the house ownership.People at our age group didn’t have houses but he had purchased one where I lived in Utah and he started a new job there. His dad had suggested he buy a home and helped him make the purchase, giving him a little bit of money for a down payment to augment his savings. I didn’t know anything about how he lived until he told me that he had just bought his own home. That’s just crazy and it completed the list. As it turned out, my husband and I lived in that house for over 15 years. It was remarkable the way it all came together and my I told my friend about this. She made her own list and soon found a man that matched her list. She was amazed but there was a problem, he was going bankrupt. She forgot to put financial stability on her list so that didn’t work out. The lesson? There is something at work here so be thorough in deciding what goes on your list. My advice in making a list like this would be to really think hard about it and cover all the things that are important to you. My husband is allergic to cats and I really like them, but I’ve never been able to have a cat, so if it’s a priority, add it to your list along with all the other meaningful things that will make your relationship a fulfilling and meaningful one.

Make it Happen Now!

I received this story from a good friend that is in the very beginning stages of putting her present home up for sale. She is a manifesting expert and has a number of earlier stories in this newsletter.  We discussed her manifesting a home sale plan and added this one idea, and that is to say something along these lines out loud, “My house is selling now in a way that is beneficial to me and the buyer.” There are many things to do before a sale and one of those was to clear out unneeded items. Something that she was particularly interested in removing was all of her gemstones and jewelry making equipment. It was taking up a lot of space and since she wasn’t creating jewelry anymore, she could save moving costs and convert all of it to welcome income.  After she made her vocal and forceful command, she listed all the jewelry items for sale with a bulk price and happily, it sold the same day! That is surprising enough, but the way the sale went down was very unusual.   Here is her story, a great example of making manifesting work for you. Ken Nancy writes: The more I think about that jewelry supply sale yesterday, the more I realize how “weird” it was. The woman did not haggle, she had $2k in cash. She was driving a real BEATER of a car (I could hear it coming long before I could see it) but lived in a fairly well to do community near the Home Depot parking lot where we arranged to see what I was offering and to make a possible sale. The timing was perfect…just after listing the items online I used the NOW manifesting thing, “My jewelry making supplies and equipment are selling NOW!” Here’s the weirdest thing. She called right away and we met at the lot, but when she saw what I had, she had no idea of what she was buying! She knew it was jewelry stuff, yes, but she said she had never been interested in making jewelry before, had no clue about the gemstones or construction pieces/parts. I had to explain it all to her, including each gemstone. It was almost like she was being guided to purchase it without really understanding why. From the expression on her face as she packed it all into her car, and it was amazing to watch,  it seemed almost like she was surprised that she was buying the gems and all of the jewelry-making equipment! Now I have a gem of a new tool to make things happen!! Nancy ________________________________ Want more? (it’s a fun ride)  Purchase the book or e-book.

When Manifesting Gets Specific

C. writes: I practice manifesting every day. One habit I picked up from the Manifesting 123 newsletter is to say seven things I’m grateful for each day. I’ve done this for years. One thing I’m always thankful for is the chance to help others. In fact, being of service is something I regularly manifest. Like everyone else, I have a life to live, a job, and everyday tasks to take care of. One day, around 6 p.m., I had just finished running an errand and was heading home. As I was driving, a quiet but persistent thought popped into my head. I’ve known for a long time that I have a bit of psychic sensitivity. I’ve learned to pay attention when something feels like a message. I’m not someone who uses these abilities in a public way—like on TV or radio—but now and then, I get what I call a “hit.” That evening, I was a mile from home, thinking about what I had in the house for dinner. I was going through my options when a strange thought came to me: “Go to Taco Bell.” It was odd. I’ve lived in the area for five years and only been there once. The urge felt unusual, almost like it wasn’t mine, so I wondered if it was some kind of message. It wasn’t a strong psychic signal, just a thought that wouldn’t leave me alone. It kept repeating, which I hadn’t experienced before. Usually, those kinds of impressions are subtle—easy to miss or confuse with my own thoughts. Now just two blocks from building, I decided to follow the urge and turned into the Taco Bell parking lot. At first, I went toward the drive-through, but then felt like I was being nudged to go inside. I had no idea why, but I figured I’d go with it and see what happened. Inside, a young woman was at the counter wearing a drive-through headset. She was the only person up front, so I gave her my order. She had some trouble with the ringing it up, and another employee came over to help. That’s when I noticed she was wearing three sticker badges, the kind people wear at events. They were professionally designed and stuck together, upside down and overlapping a bit and showing the repeating text. From her looking down point of view, they clearly said the same phrase three times: “Big life, big life, big life.” While they worked on ringing up my order, I started to get a feeling of what this visit might be about. Once the transaction was complete and the other employee walked away, it was just the two of us at the counter. Following along with what this might be I said, “May ask you an unusual question?” She agreed and I asked, “Do you ever ask for things, pray for things, do vision boards, manifest things?” She said that she does pray for things. That opened up a conversation and so I asked her if she prays for other people and she said that she does. I countered back and asked if she ever prayed for herself. She said she didn’t and then I realized why I might have been lead there. I’ve had this scenario happen a few times before, so I felt on good grounds to recommend that she pray for things just for her. “By all means,” I said, “pray for everyone else but continue to pray for things that benefit to you too, lots of things and don’t stop. Please keep asking for you too.” I quickly explained to her that somehow I was guided to be here, and I didn’t know the reason why, but the way things unfolded, it appeared that I should do exactly what I just described for her benefit. I told her a couple times that she is watched over, and as it is with everyone, her prayers are heard. Staying inside to eat my small meal, I watched her working the drive-through window. She didn’t have any problems with that particular register, and the second person came back and  took over the front counter. It was very odd that I would walk into the Taco Bell at the exact time that she was apparently covering for someone usually working the front. I kept waiting for an opportunity for her to turn around so I could just wave and smile before I left, but she was too busy to do anything but work with the people at the drive through window. This is certainly not something that happens every day, but hopefully, all went as it should. Thinking about it all while driving home, I humorously said to myself, “I think I just had a good day at the office.” Being of help is always part of my manifesting regimen and you never know what will happen next, sometimes with perfect strangers.

Yes, With Your Loving Thoughts, You Can Send Gifts to the Deceased (reprise)

My dear friend, Lynn Van Praagh-Gratton passed away April 4th, 2023. For reasons to follow, I can say that she is a marvelous, joyful person. As a very gifted psychic, she worked with hundreds of people, using her abilities to make contact with diseased relatives and more. The day after her death, she appeared in spirit form to another gifted person and a good friend to both of us, Peter Marks. Peter can see and hear your guides with his physical eyes and ears. When Lynn appeared to him, he could clearly see and hear her as she stood in his study. She was very joyful, had the body of a 40-year old and on her passing, she had been met by a large number of friends in the spirit realm. She joyfully said she was free three times and clearly demonstrated to Peter how happy she was. …more about Lynn in a bit. Before I wrote Manifesting 123, and you don’t need #3, I learned from William Buhlman, the out of body author, and Judy Goodman, another highly gifted friend who can fully sense the spirit realms with her physical senses, about how our thoughts create form. When working with Judy over the years I would sometimes send her objects in thought, and since she allowed those to pass through her protective perimeter, she received what I had sent her with my thoughts  every time. This experience was far too important to keep to myself or for a small circle of friends, so I published my book explaining this and how to use it for your own benefit. There are now over 450 stories from readers archived on the manifesting123.com website. So here’s one of those stories, and a most incredible one about what thought can do that happened to me just a couple of weeks ago. I was on a video call with Peter Marks, but before we could begin our conversation, Peter told me that Lynn just appeared and that she has a question for me, “Did you send me something?” Actually, I did, having sent her two things days earlier.I know that thought is real, powerful, and you can create things for yourself and also, you can send them to people who are no longer in the physical realm. I have done this many times, and sometimes when I have sent things to the deceased, the successful result has been proofed out to me. In Lynn’s case, I waited a month after her death before I sent her something because on her first visit to Peter, she instructed him to let her friends know that she is fine and very happy but please don’t send her things just yet since she was in an adjustment period and very busy “over there.” Since a month had passed, I used my thoughts to send her a rose to lay in her right hand and for fun, a favorite fun snack Lynn and her deceased husband both liked, Jack-in-the-Box tacos. They were a couple when they were very young and they liked those tacos from their early courtship and later, their married life together. So I used my thoughts to send them these gifts as Judy had taught me many years ago. She informed me that when you are sending a gift in thought, it will automatically come from your heart and the combination of your thought and the loving source is a powerful intention, one that they will get every time. So back to Lynn’s question, I was very happy that she asked if I had sent her something but before I could answer, she asked a second, different question, “Did you send me a painting?” That really surprised me. Shortly after her death, there was a photo of her on social media where she  and a friend were standing on the beach with a sunset behind them. Of course I liked the picture of Lynn, but as an artist I was very drawn to the sunset background. I brought the photo into Photoshop, revealed more of the background clouds and began to create a 3 x 3′ square oil painting of that sky. I was often thinking of Lynn while creating the painting, about three weeks, and when it was finished, I thought to title it Lynn’s Sunset. I really didn’t like the sunset title since Lynn had passed, so I changed it to Lynn’s Sky. Now Lynn was asking if I had sent her a painting. It wasn’t literally true, but I had been thinking of her while creating that painting for weeks and that makes for a very strong intention. To keep things simple I answered back, “Yes I did.“ And then the most wonderful thing happened. Lynn asked, is the title Lynn’s Sky?” I was floored. I know about these things but every once in a while, the realization of what our intentions can create looks miraculous. Peter knew nothing about this painting, he was simply using his gifts to relay messages as he saw and heard them from Lynn. I was overjoyed and told Lynn yes, that was the title! It was an incredible moment. Then I remembered the earlier gifts I had sent to her. I got a feeling that she was about to leave so I quickly asked her if she got the tacos? She laughed and said that she did! Just today I was thinking about this story for the newsletter and talking with Judy Goodman. I wanted her to hear story and then it occurred to me to send Lynn an entire Jack in the box building in a beautiful setting with people in spirit manning it. Her private Jack in the Box is available anytime she and her guests want to swing by. She won’t have to wait on me! I kept this story light, but there is some serious business here. This is what your thoughts can do, a remarkable demonstration of how loved ones can be drawn to

Manifesting the Equivalent of Money. Enjoy the Circus!

I have known Michael for years and not only is he good at manifesting, he is a finder and returner of a striking number of lost billfolds and cash! Hi Ken! I would like to share with you and your readers an interesting story about Manifesting the Equivalent of Money. I noticed last week that a cool circus was coming to town – the Cirque Italia Water Circus. For some reason this struck my fancy as I had not been to a circus since I was a small child. I noticed that the prices were standard for an event of this nature. Seat pricing was $30.00 – $60.00 per seat. For a family of four, one could see that it was going to be an expensive evening. Out of the blue I decided to just ASK. I recently became a Content Creator and wanted to leverage my status to help me get free tickets to the circus. I had asked for four complimentary tickets from a lady named Leah who was in charge of this circus’ public relations department. How I pitched this was that in return for receiving the complimentary tickets, I would post an enthusiastic review of the performance and provide her a copy. Well – the first news was not the desired outcome. Leah had advised me, “No,” but that she would save my information for next time and thanked me. I still wanted to go to the circus! So I emailed her again and asked for four complimentary tickets AGAIN. I refused to take NO for an answer. I was determined that I would get those tickets one way or the other. I would prefer the FREE route. I imagined myself being at the circus enjoying myself. I just believed that I would get those tickets without hesitation. To my pleasant surprise, Leah agreed to provide me the complimentary tickets on the last day of the circus act! I was floored! I bragged about my good fortune to the guys at work. They could not believe that I could get tickets just by asking for them! Leah emailed me my tickets, I attended the cIrcus and really enjoyed my time there! If I may offer any words of wisdom it is this: NEVER GIVE UP! Fortune favors the Bold. My persistence and belief that I would get those circus tickets was a manifestation breakthrough! I had good seating and these were $45.00 tickets each for four seats which meant I saved $180.00 that could be used elsewhere!! Now that I know the this manifest blueprint, I will be contacting other venues to attend events here in town by simply asking for complimentary tickets in exchange for a video review! The sky’s the Limit! … and later, Hi Ken I just received two more Complimentary Tickets to attend the Jurassic Quest event here in town this Weekend. The same pattern happened. I was initially told NO but I asked AGAIN. I wanted to attend the event and believed I was going to be there. I have two free Complimentary tickets to attend this event! I still believed I would get tickets! I was told by Sarah that she could not accommodate my request. I believe that persistence and belief always play a part. I am now TWO for TWO!!.

Favorite Stories from 2024

Throughout the year, it is such a gift and surprise to receive these stories from the readers of Manifesting 1,2,3 and you don’t need #3. I hope their experiences will encourage you to begin and continue with your current practices. As for the ice cream photo, yes, it’s a favorite and dear friends got me on that jag the night before… it’s getting closer! Ken I Didn’t Realize How I Manifested a Remarkable Gift to Myself! Holly writes: I recently took an art workshop from Ken and toward the end of the weekend he asked each one of us, “Do you know where you want to go with your heart?” I decided on an artistic answer, that I wanted to exhibit my works, not really focusing on an income, but to get my artworks out there where people could see it and enjoy it. So what do think happened next? After Two Negative Years, Manifesting the Opposite! M. writes: Sometime back, my sister, K. was working at a compounding pharmacy in Texas. It’s where custom medications are made to fit the unique needs of patients that can’t be met with mass-produced products. It was an OK job and the bills were paid. Then a group from Colorado bought it in order to turn it into a sterile lab. She was then laid off and next, she got a horrible, just horrible job with somebody breathing down her neck all day. She has a tendency to be negative so I jumped in and said, “Look, when you speak it, you’re bringing it to you. So you need to turn that around and you need to say that this is the job I want. Imagine yourself working in that large hospital you like that is 20 minutes away, not something with a one hour commute each way.” You will like the result she manifested.  Can I Manifest Something and Then Change My Mind for Happiness Sake? Tim writes: In 2016 I had spent a lot of time in Africa, resulting in my being afflicted with a parasite for a time. I had to stop performing after 7 years and it gave me a lot of time to relax and find out who I was as a person without the performing arts career. The arts were a big part of my life and I realized that most of my friendships were from that field and particularly around singing. I recall the day being in my bedroom and coming to the realization that I didn’t want to be known as a singer, that I just wanted to be known as a human. It was an aspirational thought but I soon regretted saying it. I put it this way and said it out loud, “I never want to sing again.” That statement, that command, ended my singing career. I stopped performing but the time off did help me find out who I was without the acclaim of others. Many years later, in December 2023, I decided that singing was a valuable gift and a worthy part of who I am. I wanted to sing again, so I began to manifest that outcome in my meditations while also taking action, singing periodically in Sunday morning church settings – a good start.  Can you successfully change your mind? Lost, in Trouble and Reaching Out with a Prayer Mikaela Rae writes, I was living in Nashville, Tennessee, making a living as a singer. I was on the road at 6:30pm and it was dark during the rush hour. I had the radio on and this song, Why We Sing from Kirk Franklin came on: ‘I sing because I’m happy, I sing because I’m free, His eye is on the sparrow. That’s the reason why I sing.” And I’m crying. I’m lost. I have no idea what I’m doing with my life or my career, and all of a sudden, my back left tire pops and goes flat. I got to an underpass and pulled over on the left side of the road near the fast lane. I sat there, feeling very depleted, very beaten and really, really lost.  I had just purchased new tires on my car, but no matter.  What am I going to do? This is before the convenience of cell phones. I grabbed my keys, kept them in my hands, and decided just to walk up the highway and find a place to run across five lanes of rush hour traffic to get home. I quickly realized that would be impossible, a death wish. My walking path on the side of the highway was very narrow and spooky. It was then I realized that I was trapped in a bad situation. A remarkable solution presented itself!  It Bears Repeating… Add the NOW to Your Manifesting Practice Earlier in May, 2024, I went over how some of my fellow artists were discussing manifesting and how we could use the idea of the Now to eliminate the annoying gaps that are common between art sales. So let me bring you up to date on what happened in the last two weeks, a personal experience of the artist / author Nancy Rynes and myself. I had an internet radio interview about the Manifesting 1,2,3 book with Richard Dugan coming up and my thought was to try using the Now idea to create a fast sale of one of my paintings, and if the sale came through I would discuss it during the interview. I wanted the experiment to have a very short window to better illustrate that thoughts can act quickly with the Now idea. So two days prior to the interview I repeated this simple thought, “A painting is selling NOW.” That was it. What was the result? Manifesting and the Equivalents First, let me begin with two points, simply stated. First, our coordinated thoughts with two people or larger have great power. Never underestimate what two or more people can create together. Peace in the family? World peace anyone?

Our Intentions Can Make a Difference

Prayers going out for the couple written about here for their intentions and their best and highest good be done. Thank you, Leslie for your heartwarming story. Ken Leslie writes: I recently received a startling text from the husband of a dear friend, S., that I met while traveling about a year ago. She doesn’t live nearby but we have stayed close and I was shocked to hear that she had a stroke. Her husband said that the doctors informed them that S. has lung cancer and it has metastasized to her brain. He continued texting because he wasn’t ready for a phone call yet. As his text went on, he said, “We’re at the hospital, and just outside S’s room in the hallway is a painting. It’s your painting.” I was so astounded by that, because my art is not in a lot of public places and only in one hospital. What are the chances that it would be right outside her hospital door? He went on to say, “Your love and light were with us, even though you didn’t know it and it helped get us through the evening. It was a very dark night, and it helped so much.” With this couple, our entire relationship has been graced with magical occurrences, but that one really floored me. I’ve seen her since then, thank goodness, and together they will go forward. This art coincidence made me think of the purpose I had set for myself as a painter some time ago. It feels great to to do what I want to do because it’s my life’s dream and passion. It is also my intention to bring life, joy and even healing to people thorough my paintings and it was heartwarming to know that sometimes my artworks make a difference.

For Your Happy New Year (reprise)

Each of us has lived through 8,765 hours and if we averaged 7 hours of sleep each night, then we were awake 6,205 of those hours last year. A lot can be made of that fact, but it certainly  spells opportunity. Somewhere along the way are the opportunities to be:  Grateful Complimentary Kind Generous Of love and not fear More generous to ourselves There is also ample opportunity for us to use our gifts of prayer and manifesting not just for ourselves, but for others and for the world. In those thousands of hours given to us this year we can use some of those bits of idle time to ask for and create small and so-called impossible things as individuals and for the Many. Resolution ideas abound this time of year so instead, I would like to offer some personal tools for our precious days ahead: As Judy Goodman likes to say, “Before your feet hit the ground in the morning, say seven grateful things.” And she also offers, “Act now as if you are in the place that you want to be. Both of those statements are very powerful. The first clears the mind and the energetic space around us. The second builds something very positive and desirable without detail or limits. For each of us and the world, let’s create something better than we would hope to dream of or ask for. Ken ________________________________ Want more? (it’s a fun ride)  Purchase the book or e-book.
