How Quickly Can I Manifest Three Important Things? Part 1
Miranda writes: Here’s how it is. I have three daughters with me, 2 in their teens and one in her early 20’s. We are a great team and to keep it humming I get up every weekday at 4am to catch a bus to begin my job at 7am. I am an estimator at a body shop, a new position that I am very happy to have. At times I need to move our clients cars around and I am required to have a drivers license to do so. Getting a license in Canada is not easy or inexpensive but now that I am 44, it is time to make the effort. My daughters would agree! Since I have read the book, I have my little routine for manifesting and I add a earnest prayer as well. So lately I have been imagining passing that drivers test. To begin I needed a good instructor to provide the best opportunity to pass the test. Instructors are not inexpensive, so that was a concern as well. I got the information I needed in just a couple of days. I was out walking during my lunch break and I saw a driving instructor vehicle with a contact number. I called in, felt very comfortable, signed up and had a lesson right away. My instructor is Heavenly sent, an amazing patient gentleman and just what I needed. Once the driving lessons were done it was time for me to take the drivers test. I had already spent a lot of money on lessons and for the day of the test I had to spend more to rent a car. Failure was NOT an option! At the testing center an examiner was selected for me. The staff could tell I was nervous and they were a bit scared for me because my randomly selected examiner was very strict. I got off to a bad start when I asked the examiner, “Should I start the car?” My examiner replied in a deadpan, “It’s already running.” That was pretty awkward and I made it more so when I told the examiner that I would be saying my driving lessons out loud as I proceeded through the test. Perhaps my style was humorous and she appreciated the gratitude I showed for this opportunity because in the end I passed. It was a VERY BIG DEAL that day and for the rest of my life! I had other problems waiting for me though. My apartment manager had just notified me of a very big rent increase. I needed all my available funds and miracles to buy a good car instead. Now that I am eligible to drive, how can I make that happen? I had already sent out the prayers and had been manifesting that the rent increase and car would be taken care of. Solutions needed to happen fast, beginning with the rent increase problem. I put a plan in the morning of the drivers test regarding the rent increase. I would have to patiently wait until after work that day to see if my plan was successful. It was a good day because one of the three things that needed to happen, the drivers test, was a big success! Next is solving my big rent increase and finding a way to purchase my car. I am grateful!

The Accident and Addiction. Grace, Prayer and Manifesting
This is a very tough story about how our lives can change in an instant, a very serious addiction and what our manifesting and prayers can overcome. Michael has had success stories in this newsletter before. The accidental detour in his life almost killed him but he remembered the power of manifesting and prayers. Michael and his daughter are walking miracles. Ken Michael writes: I do home cleaning and I was out on a call one evening in 2008 and brought my dad and my 5 year old daughter along. After the job was done the owner of the property asked my daughter if she would like a lucky horseshoe. She excitedly agreed to the man’s thoughtful offer. We started our trip back home with my dad in the front seat and my daughter settled in among the heavy equipment in the back (yes, I know about that now.) Then it happened. We were a hit head-on by another car. It wasn’t my fault but it didn’t matter. Upon impact, my dad was pulled to the left and my daughter shot forward, hitting my dad who was fortunately blocking the space between the two front seats. My dad was mildly injured and my daughter had a small scratch on her knee. The angels were watching over them both and I am so grateful that they were spared serious injury. I suffered a very painful back injury involving 4 discs. The insurance companies got involved right away with my treatment. I was having a lot of difficulty walking and the pain was severe. I was in the care of the insurance company for four years with ever-increasing dosages of opioid medications to combat the pain. At the end of those four years I was still suffering pain and now I was on my own medically without insurance coverage. I realized that may have become seriously addicted to those medications. I was living with a girlfriend at the time and looking back, we were both seriously addicted and co-dependent. I had gone from being a pretty good father and businessman to someone I wouldn’t recognize today. The desire for those drugs was overwhelming. I was heavily addicted to taking oxycodone, 1 pill every 3 hours. I began to buy drugs on the street. I would have never imagined it, but getting those powerful drugs was my number one priority. I was oblivious to just about everything else. It was a very low, long series of years. I had a sizable financial settlement from the accident and I spent down about half of it buying drugs illegally.This wasn’t how I wanted to continue living, so I turned myself over to a methadone clinic. It is somewhat easier to loose a methadone addiction than the opiates. For the sake of my daughter and for myself I had to find normal again. I could begin think somewhat beyond myself and I began a manifesting plan where I was clear of drugs. As if I were in a movie, I visualized a future where my house was all fixed up and that my daughter and I were enjoying the big back yard together. I also began to pray for help because I was at the bottom. It gets worse. During the time of my addicted fog I made a couple of bad decisions in my business practice that landed me in the criminal justice system. I lost my court case resulting in my being incarcerated AND heavily addicted. I would not be able to access the methadone in jail and now I would be coming off drugs in a cold turkey fashion. By the way, methadone is 10 times harder to get off than opiods. I will spare you the horrible details.Those 21 days without drugs for the first time in years were the hardest ones of my life but I held onto to the bright future I was manifesting and praying about for my daughter and myself. Shortly after my release I was back home, but then my lights and water were disconnected. I also received notice that my home was in foreclosure status.Knowing the darkness that I had just came out of, I was not throwing in the towel. I got back to work immediately. Being locked up was actually a Godsend, and in a short time I was back, healthy in mind and body! Now I had to tackle those back bills. With the help of a kind neighbor for a month I had the time to quickly get back on my feet. It was a cold Denver winter and it became obvious that I had to make some changes fast. Mercifully, a large job appeared and I was finally able to pay my overdue bills, restoring power, water and getting my home out of foreclosure proceedings. Seven years after that accident I was finally clear,free from prescription opiates, heroin & methadone.I’ve been blessed that somehow my family and home have been preserved. My bills are up to date and I am getting back to normal. I now understand why so many people are addicted to these opioids.They are so incredibly powerful I had no defense for it. I empathize with the millions so quickly addicted to these drugs and all the sorrowful things that go come with it. My daughter has seen enough regarding addiction and she is in no way attracted to anything that is mind altering. After all I’ve put her through, I’m glad for this positive outcome. I feel the same way myself. No more. Now all is normal as life allows. We are the fortunate ones and I am grateful every day that the wonderful outcomes I prayed for and worked to manifest have come true.I completely have my life back but I believe it took confinement to break my addiction and downward spiral. Sometimes what we pray for and work to manifest come in unexpected ways. My story isn’t over yet… Michael Go to the Interviews Page to see and hear Ken talking about Manifesting 123 and you don’t need #3. There is new
Allowed: You Can Manifest for Yourself. So What Do You Desire?
C. and I met on an airplane recently and got into a delightful discussion about manifesting. Here’s her recent note. Ken Dear Ken, Greetings! Thank you for sending me your link. I think of you daily and smile at our chance meeting. Your question, “What do you wish for?” had me so stumped at the time. But later, a flood of things came to mind, none of them earth shaking, but still things I would like to have in my life. I realized I was very blocked when it came to thinking about my own needs and desires. So lately I have been having a lot of fun thinking of things I require and hope for, being grateful and even playing around in my “movie” a bit. Thinking positively every day is utterly delightful, and does bring a sense of well being. Thank you so much for sharing your experiences and thinking of these things with me. I hope all is well with you. I am grateful to have spent the plane ride from Chicago to Charlottesville with you! Best, C. Another reader, M., saw this note and sent in this response: I totally relate to her comment. I went through several years when the only thing I could think of that I wanted was some summer flowers on my back deck. I just didn’t know how to think about manifesting for myself that way. Denial of self is not very profitable for any part of one’s life. There is always room for improvement in every direction! Ken replies: Thank you both for your illuminating notes and the inspiration to adress this subject. Your thoughts create form and concepts. It has been clearly demonstrated to me many times, even in real-time! Here what our thoughts do: If you find yourself repeating a thought, positive or negative, the thought will build what you are thinking as if it were slowly making a wall, brick by brick. This is how thoughts commonly become physical realities. Add an emotion to the same thought, joy or worry, (love or fear) and you have added one of the two most powerful forces in existence to your singular thought. When you add the emotion of love or fear to your idea, those forces will amplify your thought and bring it into your physical reality more efficiently. The bottom line: Your thoughts can create anything and you were born fully empowered to do so. It is OK to desire, manifest and if you are so inclined, pray for good things for others and, and … and for YOU. I wish us all health, happiness, and safety. It is also my hope that all are loved and admired, living comfortably and in a favorable position to help others. You have the power, the gift to ask and manifest remarkable things in your life.

My Dreams Were Building All This Time, Then the Surprise!
This is a beautifully unfolding story! Thank you R! Ken Listen to this. Last Sunday, my gentleman friend and I had to attend an event in a nearby town, not far from where I live. Along the way he took a route I wasn’t familiar with. I’ve been living in this area for only two years and I’m still learning my way around. During our drive I noticed a lot of scenery, like homes, lakes, etc. and a street sign that read Treelake Village. I had seen that sign near my storage area and I kept thinking about why it was so familiar…hmmm. As we continued on I noticed and recognized more street names. One was Wexel and it really caught my attention. Here’s why. Years ago, I was a realtor and my office was located in Roseville, CA. After our business meetings or at the end of the day, I would shop at the Safeway located just minutes from the office. I loved shopping in that store….it was a dream to shop there. I recall having lunch at the time with a realtor friend at Chipotle’s next to the Safeway and I expressed my interest in living in that community. I loved it so very much I brought up the idea of moving there to my husband at the time (now deceased.) He was completely against the idea, saying it was too expensive and besides, he wanted to buy a plane since he was a pilot and we had an airport right down the street from our home. He eventually got his plane, his dream come true. But I continued to dream about the homes in Treelake Village and I would surf Realtor.com and look at the homes there ANYWAY, hoping things would change. One home I really liked in Treelake Village was on Wexel. Another one I looked at was on Monet. Mind you, I was doing all this looking on the web. I never actually saw these homes but in my dreams, I took baths in the huge soaking tub and imagined exploring new landscaping ideas in my dream yards. I LOVED this place. I get it now! All those streets names have come back to me. What did I see on my drive the other day? Wexel, Monet and Treelake Village. These were the homes and streets I saw on the web over and over so long ago. My community, Granite Bay is very close by…. I had arrived and didn’t know it! Where do I shop? At that favorite Safeway by the Keller Williams (the realtor has moved since, so I didn’t catch on.) I live only 2 minutes from the store! The street I turn on to get to my home is Monet… that Monet! The beautiful Spanish style home I used to tour online is right down the street from me. FINALLY, I get it! I didn’t know of that route until last Sunday because I never ventured out that far. It was like Deja Vu. OMGee! It was like a MOVIE where someone says, “Yes, R. you have been here before. Remember, this is the SAME community you dreamed of living in so many years ago.” Seeing those street names scared the heck out of me, especially Wexel. NOW, I am seeing it in person!! Then this phrase jumped out at me…WELCOME HOME. I used to say that to myself when I was dreaming of being in this community. I was 45 years young when I thought about living in this area. After knowing my husband would never move, I had to let it go. Now at the age of 61, my thoughts have come to fruition. I am so happy here. If I had never taken the different route to the event I would have never known about how my dreams came true. Poof! I guess what I’m trying to relay to you is this, and from reading your book, you know it. Thoughts create outcomes. It you keep repeating them and adding emotion, then like magic, your dreams do come true. Be careful of what you ask for? How about being aware of what you ask for. This took time, but I am squarely in the place I dreamed of. Just amazing… A bit more… OK. Now answer this question for me. WHY???? Why wasn’t I shown this early on? I’ve been here two years and had never known that I was in my dream community. Why now? Ken, you said this phrase to me this just the other day, “You are now living in your future.” Now I get it. YES. Everything you dream of, what you keep thinking becomes a reality, GOOD or BAD, so we should be aware of what we are continually thinking. I used to always read The Secret in order to keep thinking in a positive manner. They said the secret to getting want you want in life is to FEEL GOOD. Be happy. Now, I would have to say that is only the tip of the iceberg. Yes, it’s a feeling, but the mind’s eye(s) actually makes a picture (movie.) I realize I am currently in the future I previously created and I am continuing to create more good things! R.B.

When I Try, I’m Good at Manifesting, Including My Special Delivery
I’ve been reading some of these stories and I can relate to the power of manifestation. I was taught at a very young age (12) to write down your dreams and goals. So I did, but stopped because I was way too young and restless to understand the power of manifesting. If my dreams didn’t happen immediately, I stopped DREAMING. As I got older, I realized the power of manifestation and read books, listened to audio tapes, wrote my dreams and goals down, etc. Then I started to realize…OMG, manifesting had been working throughout my life and wasn’t realizing it. I was moving through life too fast to stop and think about what I truly manifested. I manifested a husband, wanted to marry a pilot and I did. I wanted to live in a townhome on a lake and I did. I wanted a position as an executive assistant and I got the job. I wanted to live in a private-gated community and that happened too. I repetitively thought about these things and EVENTUALLY they all came true. Listen to this. My husband and I had three cats that we loved but as they got older they became more self-sufficient, less cuddly and slept all of the time. I really wanted a baby kitten. One day I found a picture of an adorable kitten sleeping and it took my breath away. I loved the picture of that kitten. So I put the picture of that baby kitten on my laptop and every time I logged in, I saw the picture of that adorable kitten. The sensation I felt when I saw that kitten was unbelievable. I felt like he/she was my kitten, ready to hold, snuggle and love. One day, my husband beckoned me to the front door and he was holding a little cat he found hiding in the bushes. I almost fainted. The cat was the same color as the kitten I saved on my laptop with the same cute, adorable face. Whoa!! The cat was shaking, scared and hungry. Apparently someone moved and left him homeless. My husband put the cat in my arms and said he needs love. He’s YOURS! I remember holding and snuggling that cat. I had pictured my snuggling and holding a baby kitten and the one we found was just a little bit older than the one in the picture. When I showed my husband the picture of the baby kitten on the laptop, he smiled and stated that everything I asked for in life had always come to fruition. I came to know that the power of manifestation was in the way you hold those thoughts near and dear to you. I am very grateful to add my story to the many others on your website. These stories are TRUE! It works if you keep dwelling on your dreams and goals, but it happens faster when you feel it. R. Thank you for your loving stories and your insights. I agree that when you add emotion to your thoughts it makes them much more powerful. Note that this applies to those positive AND negative thoughts. Your thoughts create without judgment and when you add a positive emotion (love) or worry (fear) to any thought it will begin to create quickly and efficiently. View or listen to my interviews on the website, get the book and learn how your thoughts literally create as you think them.

Manifesting the Big Goals, Beyond the Small Change
Thank you for the story about your Big Result! Ken I remember talking to Ken about Manifesting 123 and you don’t need #3 when the book first came out. I was working hard to make ends meet. My job at the time didn’t pay that well, so coming up with extra money would great. The book gave me the idea to manifest more money and things started happening pretty fast. Here’s Scott’s first story from 2014. Ken, do you remember my saying, “I have money and I desire more?” Well, it has been awhile but WOW have things changed. I finally set up a 401K about a year ago, I figured it was rather late to start one but why not? Well to make the story short, I now have a little over $10,000.00 between my 401, savings and my checking accounts. That is a very big deal for my wife Barbara and I. Here’s the BIG ONE. My wife and I now own our home outright! No more mortgage payments. The value of our home is $300,000 That feels Really Good! Manifesting 123 really works. So for those who think it doesn’t work because it doesn’t happen in a certain amount of time, think again. You just have to keep watering the garden, keep manifesting and one day it will BLOOM. This outcome wasn’t just because of simple savings. We got a lot of breaks along the way. Better jobs came along. There were bonuses, small and large things and we were fortunate that big catastrophes didn’t come our way. Oh yea, I still find money all the time, .50 cents here and there almost every day. LOL. It’s a little reminder that my manifesting is steadily working. Take Care, Be Well, Be Safe Scott Go to the Interviews page to see and hear Ken talking about Manifesting 123 and you don’t need #3.

Get Creative: Manifest it BIG!
Ken and I were talking the other day about my new business plan, the garden level apartment I recently renovated as a rental. I had a unique approach to manifesting the perfect tenants for my apartment and Ken asked it I would pass it onto you. Initially I had intended to rent it out unfurnished for long-term rentals. Some remodeling would be required and since the entire space would need repainting, I thought of an opportunity to manifest a successful outcome. It was a BIG idea. I would use the walls like a giant wish list! Prior to my repainting the space, I started writing on the walls. What did I write? It was a list of all the attributes that my perfect tenants would be. “They were mature and not partiers, they were quiet and my dogs liked them. The tenants respected my space and took care of it like it was their own.” You get the drift. For the benefit of my tenants I also wrote on the bathroom walls, “You are handsome” and “You are beautiful.” I wanted my tenants/guests to like/love themselves. We need friends and family to build us up, and in the morning when we look in the mirror before we leave to go face the world, our self affirmation needs to be that we are enough. As a bonus, another idea came to me. About midpoint in the renovation, I realized that a short-term, rather the long-term rental (a online option like Airbnb or Vacation Rental By Owner) was going to be a better fit. The results were terrific. The long-term plan is much better and I have been blessed with guests who perfectly fit the descriptions I wrote on the walls. By the way, those intentions are still there, unseen under the paint. There is also a copy of Manifesting 1,2,3 and you don’t need #3 in the living room. My intentions continue to work for me and I am grateful! Here’s the link to my completed rental oasis in Denver.

Want to Make Things Happen? For Starters, Just Ask
Liza is someone that uses Manifesting 1,2,3 and you don’t need #3 as well as prayers. In this case, she decided to use another method that is pretty reliable for her, simply asking for help. Don’t be reluctant to ask for help, pleazzze! Liza has an amazing life and her secret ingredient is in the asking: requesting help and manifesting solutions. Special training isn’t required and help is available to everyone! Sometimes the ‘small’ stories are the best examples, so here goes. Ken Liza writes: Last week I was walking with friends in a large open space when my friend spied a hawk’s nest. It was nestled near a creek in a low-growing shrub called a scrub oak. I had to get a closer look, so I plunged in and for my efforts I pulled out three gorgeous hawk feathers. As a bonus, I was covered with leaves and came away with multiple scratches for my efforts. No matter, I was delighted to see that nest up close and for the gift of the feathers. Later that night I reached for the reading glasses that are always perched on top of my head but they were gone. I began to search everywhere – pockets, purses, car etc. but no luck. They had to be in the house but they were nowhere to be found. After 3 days of a massive search wearing plastic “readers,” I ASKED FOR HELP. I knew if anyone could find my glasses, my Angels and Guides would. Suddenly I had the strongest urge that I have to drive all the way back to the huge open space we were hiking in 3 days ago. Once I arrived, I felt calm and just enjoyed the warm sun on me as I hiked back to the hawk’s nest. I shoved my way back into the bush and just 3 feet away, nestled in leaves were my glasses! Thinking back, did my asking trigger the solution waiting in my brain or was it the angels and guides? Whatever it was, I loved how the answer came to me immediately. I have to laugh at myself… why did I wait 3 days to ask? I am filled with Gratitude. Liza Go to the Interviews page to see and hear Ken talking about Manifesting 123 and you don’t need #3.

More Sleep, Less Stress. More of This, Less of That, Please!
We hear this often, “I’m not getting enough sleep.” Before taking another step into the subject, consider that the cause may require medical assistance and chronic sleep problems should be looked into. Sleep loss has a lot of causes and a number of solutions. Most are obvious within our environment and it is likely that we already know the solution. Instead, let’s tackle on of the more common causes of sleep deprivation. We lay awake and go over things… and over things. There are those problems and ideas to grind on. We have important conversations with people that aren’t even there, hashing out some slight and attempting to turning the subject to our favor. This is hard to do for a couple of pretty solid reasons. The only one home is you, not at full strength and trying to reason through real concerns. Here’s a practical question. How many times have you actually solved one of these problems in the middle of the night? I suspect the number is pretty close to zero. It is far more common that we wake up with a solution or a fresh insight or a short time later during our morning routine. Obviously we perform better awake over the grogged out state, so here are a couple of helpful ideas. I had this problem for decades and in a moment of daylight clarity, and after calculating my zero success rate I declared myself (not you dear one) stupid. That was insulting but it was true. I was trying to take on problems in the worst possible way. Could I stop the habit? Yes, but it took a number of laughs in the middle of the night telling my brain to let it go. Did I want to be do better or get some sleep? It eventually worked and continues to this day. After writing Manifesting 1,2,3 and you don’t need #3, I learned an even better way and it works for much more than sleep problems. Now that you have read this far, here is the real payoff. Those annoying problems that continually bother you can often be stopped or much reduced by manifestIng the solution. It’s in the book and it’s very simple. Your thoughts create and they create the future. To put that to work for a sleeping problem or stress, to name another simply take a little time each day and imagine that you are sitting comfortably in your future. Say to yourself, I am I’m my future, and in my future I sleep well every night and always wake up refreshed. How wonderful! It just started happening and I am so very grateful! Just repeat this ‘future’ once a day and your thoughts will efficiently go to work creating to solution you desire. To keep this brief, here are links to explain this in greater detail. Is there more in the book? Sure, but everything you need is here along with remarkable stories from readers. I’m looking forward to hearing yours soon!
