Here are two interesting stories about manifesting with two successful, but different results. Manifesting From Good Enough to Miraculous! A single mom on a budget makes a plan with her dear friend in Hawaii. “I had just read Manifesting 123 and after explaining what I had learned to my firend, it was agreed that we would both visualize a future movie of us spending time together. Our kid’s would be with us, playing happily, traveling around Hawaii together, going out for dinner etc. and generally just having a lovely vacation with all of us together.” I’m Going to Fly, I’m Going to Fly… “Being unable to afford a vehicle due to my bad credit, I have been renting vehicles to drive over for the past ten months.

First, Eliminate What You DON’T Want in 2018
I’m all about New Year’s resolutions and the positive mindset it creates. It’s a bit like redecorating the living room, where new furniture, carpets and artworks will be brought in to create a terrific new look. But before bringing in all that is new, we should first consider what should be removed. This is the last newsletter of 2017 and it’s a perfect time to consider what you will NOT have in your life in 2018. For that living room, it makes perfect sense to toss out all the things you no longer want to live with and vacuum the space before placing the new items. Why have that new sofa crowded in with the old one? Ditto for putting the new area rug on top of the crummy, worn one. Imagine what it would be like without those negative things in your life. Your thoughts really can create anything, so why not step up and have a housecleaning? Here’s a helpful list of possible items for removal: Personal issues Negative habits Negative people Low self-esteem Lack Inefficiency Unhappiness Stress Fatigue Loneliness Financial concerns Fear in any form We have been carrying some of these items for a lifetime. Others are new, but seemingly impossible to free ourselves from. Regardless, your thoughts can create the solutions you desire and it is very simple to make it happen. Do you have to Really Believe? No. Are special skills required? None. Just sit comfortably, relax and imagine you are in your future. This future time is not specified but you are OK with it. Feel the chair you are in, breathe in the air of your future. You are there and from your comfortable chair, you observe that in your future you no longer have that _______________ in your life. Amazing! It is just gone. You can’t recall how or when it disappeared but you are very grateful to be free from the problem. This the ‘movie’ described in Manifesting 1, 2, 3 and it is what your thoughts will literally begin to create. You don’t know exactly how or when this will happen, but be assured, your positive outcome is being arranged. You don’t need to specify how this problem was solved or when. Your thoughts are creating the best possible solution so please, don’t insist on a specific outcome when so many others are possible. Just go into your movie once each day and repeat your experience. Here are some terrific stories from the story archive describing how readers literally woke up with a solution to their long-standing difficulties. Somehow, in the middle of the night, their thoughts resolved the problem. Manifesting 1,2,3 describes how this occurs and the method to make it happen for you. This is a serious and elegant tool that is available to anyone. Check out these encouraging stories and make Manifesting 1,2,3 and you don’t need #3 work for you: Suddenly I Was Happier. Manifesting Did It Overnight! Manifesting Shifts in Time / Efficiency and Less Pressure My Loneliness Just Melted Away! I Just Woke up Happier! Start clearing the room for the 2018 that you desire. Next week I’ll review how to create the life you choose. Also, the best reader’s stories from 2017 will help you on your way. Get the book or explore the information on the website. It’s all there for you, either way. Here’s to your fabulous 2018, the one of your making. Happy New Year! Ken Go to the Interviews page to see and hear Ken talking about Manifesting 123.

A Tragic Diagnosis, Then Taking Action with Intent and Forgiveness
Here’s an amazing story that just came in. It’s a holiday gift to us from two close friends, Anjali and Angelica. This story is full of insights like the power of forgiveness and I particularly like friends helping friends here. Anything is possible when we are purposely manifesting. Happy Holidays to you! Ken Anjali writes: 1 1/2 years ago I was diagnosed with lung cancer. That was serious news and a difficult thing to hear along with all the other misfortunes and sorrows I was dealing with. I felt doomed but you keep walking through the days, one after the other. I have a daughter and grandchild and they give me much to live and hope for but my diagnosis was a big burden. I work part time and in the last three months I was getting fewer hours, creating financial difficulties. Then more bad news, I had to put down my beloved pet. That is a lot of anguish, loss and grief in a very short time. I have a wonderful friend, Angelica, and she took it upon herself to try and turn this around. I was in a very negative place and why not? Negativity is not Angelica’s world however, and she began to discuss the possibilities of getting through my cancer successfully and getting my life back. She is a big fan of Manifesting 123 and you don’t need #3 so she sent me a copy. There are now two angels on the job, Angelica and me – my nickname is Anjali. My dear friend continued bringing me encouraging ideas and strategies for healing. She gave me a CD that I would listen to as I was going to sleep and it provided me with a subliminal message that I was getting better. A little over a month ago Angelica called me and told me about a dream she just had. She saw me in my bedroom lying on my bed with a spirit version of myself standing and facing me at the end of the bed. Angelica heard me ask my spirit, “Why this was happening to me?” The spirit version of me answered back and said, “All of the prayers that people are sending you, you are giving away.” Angelica told me that my spirit was surrounded in a white light and that my spirit told Angelica, “Her body and spirit are not one.” Angelica and I had a big discussion about that. It came out that I had been punishing myself over someone that hurt me many years ago. It was an aggressive, physical act that wasn’t my fault but it scarred me deeply. I had been carrying this around and it was limiting me in more ways than I fully understood. Angelica recommended I forgive everything in my life, every slight and myself. She went on to say that I should make a point to love myself, body and soul, and to begin a process of healing. This was new thinking for me but I agreed since I had bottomed out. I was in an awful place, so I reached out with the hope that healing was coming my way. Angelica’s dream and the messages rang true to me. I made the adjustments gratefully, saying my prayers and opening myself up to accept help and my cure. Angelica and I were talking on the phone on fday and I suddenly I got angry about my condition. That’s the first time I felt anger about this, but it didn’t shock my friend. She said to let it out, so I did with a big rant and some tears. I made quite the scene but I’m glad it was a private conversation with only Angelica as a witness. I had reached a turning point of some kind and discovered that I might be mad, but I was not helpless. With Angelica’s instructions, I began to visualize that I would be well. I started meditating and I told myself this is going to work. Angela was very motivated to help me. She had read the stories in the Manifesting 1,2,3 newsletter and had a number of her own stories published there. She kept assuring me that all things are possible. I really began to focus on the forgiveness and self-love. That was my new mission. For her part, Angelica was manifesting a future phone call from me where I was giving her really good news. It was encouraging to be getting help from someone that is really good at making things happen. About six weeks ago I had a scheduled doctor visit to monitor my status. I was told that I now had internal bleeding, very bad news. On the positive side, the doctor told me about a new medication she would put me on and that it would work. I started the medication right away and begin to experience some really awful and physically draining side effects, but I told myself that this shows the medicine is working. One month later here’s what I told Angelica on the phone. “The doctors give me a test to determine the amount of cancer that was presently in my body and the test came out clear. There is no sign of cancer, not even an infection and I feel perfectly well.” It was an amazing outcome!!! The doctors want to continue with my chemotherapy for a time and I tell myself that these chemo sessions are like going to the spa. It is exactly the spa I need and it is part of my continuing happiness. I have a new and positive way of looking at all kinds of things and it has made me healthier and happier. Thank you Angelica for your help, wisdom and commitment to me. In a very short you helped me to create my remarkable miracle. Happy Holidays, Merry Christmas everyone!

Is Your Attitude Slumping? Gratitude Creates Happiness. Here’s How
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.” Thank you Antoinette! Your observation and experience is very important and worth going into further. As Manifesting 1,2,3 and you don’t need #3 demonstrates, your thoughts are literally building form as you think it. Your ideas become the equivalent of stacking bricks, one brick at a time until something of substance results. This is a great gift, an amazing tool and we are equally empowered to use it. Besides building things, what else can our thoughts do? Antoinette has learned that being grateful about past experiences, ‘good’ and ‘bad,’ has created a positive shift in the way she thinks and feels. Her decision to be grateful for past experiences created more peace and happiness in her everyday life. It was just that simple. She could have viewed the events in her past in a fearful or negative way but she had a better idea. She rejected the negativity because she knew those repetitive thoughts create harmful outcomes: unhappiness and anxiety. Fear easily builds on itself, spiraling down into a life of gloom. The differences in thinking are stark. Antoinette considered the bigger picture: some of the difficulties in her life were actually periods of great growth and wisdom. In hindsight, she recognized that those experiences had real value so she chose another viewpoint, to be grateful for what she learned. Antoinette’s expressions of gratitude created happiness. In the book, Judy Goodman is quoted as recommending that we express seven grateful things everyday, and for good reason. 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. Gratitude is a magnifier, one of the two great powers in creation, the other being fear. If you take a thought and combine it with love or fear, the thought will create a result more powerfully and efficiently. Here’s more about that from the newsletter archive: Creation: Your Movie, Your Future and Gratitude Where do you want your thoughts to take you? One more note. Forgiveness is an act. It is also a powerful thought as next weeks newsletter will show. Miracles abound. Ken Go to the Interviews page to see and hear Ken talking about Manifesting 123.

Manifesting From Good Enough to Miraculous!
Here are two great examples of Manifesting. Katie needed a a car quickly. She specified the type of car and the limits of what she would pay. The first time her dollar limit allowed for an acceptable car. The second time she didn’t limit the money but instead focused on a better model, making that a priority. There are two interesting stories about manifesting with two successful, but different results. Ken Katie writes: In 2014 I was dating a guy that always had to drive my car when we were together. Looking back, that was a red flag. We decided to go on a long road trip and my boyfriend was driving. It was deer rutting season and they’re often visible on or near the road. All was going well and I fell asleep. I quickly awakened when I heard him say, ”Oh no!” Instantly an airbag hit me in the face. The smell of the accelerant was everywhere. We hit a deer. What a terrible, terrible thing to happen. My boyfriend and I were in good shape but my precious car was badly damaged. I had to pay $300 for a 7 mile tow that day. Unfortunately, I had just canceled the tow package / car rental coverage on my insurance so I could save a little money. Ug. I called around and got a car rental. All the while my boyfriend was not very helpful with all of this and dealt with it badly. When my sister heard about the accident she gave me $300 as an early Christmas present to help out. My boyfriend requested some of that money because he was part of the accident. The answer was no. Big red flag. My boyfriend’s mom was an angel and loaned me her van for the duration so I only had to spend $100 on a rental car. She said her son was doing much better now because I was in his life. Another red flag. I was familiar with using thoughts to create things and I had read Manifesting 1,2,3 and you don’t need #3 so I began to manifest my next car. After checking around I realized I couldn’t replace my Murano, so I visualized a good car that I could afford, close to my Murano. I also visualized that my insurance settlement would cover the car and a new computer to replace my older, troubled one. My 2003 Nissan Murano had 150,000 miles on it and the insurance company declared it a total loss and gave me a check for $8000. I dearly loved my Murano and now I was looking to buy another. I was literally grieving that car more than my current relationship. My boyfriend recommended a used car broker and I told the broker that I hoped another Murano, used, and what I was willing to spend. I did buy a car from the broker but it wasn’t a Murano. It was a good car, something similar and at a reasonable price so I agreed to buy it. I had figured this wasn’t a long-term purchase but it would take care me for a few years. As it turns out, with the money left over I was able to buy the new computer and had $10 left over for a Starbucks celebration. Woo Hoo! By the way, my boyfriend called the broker and requested a commission for the referral. The broker declined to do so and said that he should ask me about a commission. Which he did! Final red flag here. What happened here is the idea of not being so specific about the manifesting outcome. I specified a car in good, working order that I can afford including tax and license fees and also a new computer. About 1 /1/2 years later, I began thinking of how would I get the next car? I needed something a bit larger. It was on my mind to get a new car but I wasn’t actively manifesting it. I mean really, where would that kind of money come from? So I didn’t really pursue the idea. Three years later I really needed to replace that car. I was undecided about going through a dealer or buying privately. I was hoping to save some money, but I was a bit uncomfortable about buying from a stranger. Last year some very close friends of mine said they were going to buy a new car for themselves. Her husband always buys new because he is very, very meticulous. They currently had a great 2006 Subaru but for whatever the reason, he wanted a newer model. They told me if they bought their new car they would sell their current one to me for $1! This is impossible, but I agreed and was happy to wait months until they bought the newer model. I always had my lucky $2 bill with me and I told them I would double the price and pay them two dollars. I gave it to them on the spot, my crisp $2 bill. Happy day!! Months went by and I began to imagine being in that car and being gloriously happy. 10 months later the day came for me to pick up my sooooo affordable used car. Here’s an interesting sidebar. Two days earlier, I received another $2 bill I when I cashed in some recycling. I was just amazed that my lucky $2 bill came right back to me in change. That never happens. By the way, the bill was just like new, perfect and crisp like my previous one. So now I have my fabulous 2006 Subaru and it is in perfect, and I do mean perfect shape. I am an artist and gardener so this is precisely the car I need for hauling things around and doubling as a very confortable passenger car. It is my best car ever and at a miraculous price. It is absolutely a wish come true beyond, beyond! I have so much to be
Manifesting Success and Synchronized Time… Just in Time!
Manifesting is a tool that can create anything you can think of. It’s not just about acquiring things. Manifesting can create concepts like happiness, calm and even an abstraction like time. After reading this story, check out another on the topic from the Manifesting 1, 2, 3 website: Manifesting Shifts in Time / Efficiency and Less Pressure Ken As an artist I’ve learned that sales don’t always come in a steady stream. I have been working to overcome that by producing more artworks and promoting them more. I also know that manifesting works and by using what I learned in the book, I’ve been encouraged to try out some new manifesting ideas to help with sales. Recognizing that sales have been in a seesaw mode, I went after the problem head on. I visualized a future with more sales each month and expressed gratitude at my success. I didn’t see a change right away, but things did improve slowly. Admittedly, I was a bit surprised when it started to happen more often. Not just one sale every now and then, but multiple sales in back to back months. That was exciting. Then I hit on another idea – more commissions. That is like having sales in advance, so I added that to my vision in the future. In the past I have had a few commissions a year, but I would prefer to have a contnuous stream of them. To that end, I use this phrase for manifesting, “I’m in my future and in my future I always have very profitable commissions going. All the artworks turn out wonderfully, the clients love them and they always are finished on time.” I still can’t get over what happened. The commissions picked up a bit over the last year but starting three months ago a lot of commission work landed all at once! Remarkably, the four different clients had deadlines that were spaced out perfectly, giving me ample time in between each one. It looked good on paper and then life happened. Visitors and the holidays pulled me out of the studio more than I had planned. The first client received their painting on time and it looked great in their home. Three more clients to go. The next commission was for three paintings that had to be finished….. today. Well, they were pretty far along but still needed more work before they could ship to the client. I was in a tough spot, but a few days earlier I contacted the client to see if the delivery date was still firm. I was waiting for their reply. Now I was banking on something else I learned in the book and manifest every day: perfectly synchronized time. That means that the necessary time always works out somehow. A shift in the deadline would be a wonderful thing, critically so. The client got back to me right away and said the project completion date had slipped and I had another 30 days before delivery. Perfect!!!!! I can do this easily. There was another problem. The next commission in line is for 3 large paintings with a January 2 delivery and they hadn’t even been started yet. I had less than a month to make it happen. That was going to be tight, because with the deadline shift I now have 6 paintings due the first week of January. That is a lot of creative pressure and my concern was that it would be difficult to do my best work. Is this a reault of too much success? I was counting on a beautiful solution. Another call was made to the January 2 client, fingers crossed. I was told that their January delivery date had changed due to construction delays and that they would not need those works until April of next year. I can’t tell you how relieved I was to hear that piece of good news! Three large oils and 4 lavish months of creation time. There is one more commission due with two artworks but their February ship date will fit nicely with all the others. Wth the more spacious schedule I can continue to do new works for my galleries. I am in such gratitude to have this level of success and the time shifts to make it possible without undue pressure. Whew! Manifesting synchronized time is something I have seen a lot in my life from appointment changes, airline flights and even great parking spots, but this is the first time I have manifested an entire month here and five months there. I just love how this works!! John Go to the Interviews page to see and hear Ken talking about Manifesting 123. There is new information here and you won’t hear it anywhere else. It is so simple.

My Miraculous Healing and More
Susan is someone that is very familiar with the power of prayers, thought and manifesting. She never dreamed she would find herself in this troubled spot, but she never gave up. Things got so bad, so low that it would take a miracle to bring her life back together. Here is her story. Thank you Susan. I know it was difficult to relive this. The last three newsletters have shared a common theme – surrender. That is, set your goals with prayer and manifesting, then go back to work, take time for yourself and treat yourself as well. Repeat. Just know that if is very likely that the timing is out of your control. That is OK. Better things are being put together. Surrender. View the previous newsletters: #1 #2 Ken Susan writes: The trauma was a betrayal and abandonment that tore open every scar of a difficult past and shattered me to the core of my Being. I had not only lost my home, my work, and a dream coming true, but I’d lost my entire family, and some of my most trusted friends, too. There was nothing left. I was grieving deeply, feeling completely alone and incredibly vulnerable. I managed to step into my power long enough to move to a new state to start a new life. Though my new apartment was not affordable in the long-term and I had much to do to begin anew, my attention had to turn to sudden, severe physical illness which then lead to frequent ambulance rides to the emergency room. Though I had sought grief therapy and medical attention, I found no relief, and soon became bedridden—physically unable to care for myself. In addition to increasingly severe physical illness and with no friends in my new town, PTSD surfaced, and grief transformed into severe clinical depression and anxiety. Without love, despair and thoughts of suicide overwhelmed my wisdom and strength. Suddenly, nothing mattered. I would not be here now had it not been for the loving support of one beloved Earth-Angel (who knows who he is). I prayed for help and constantly realigned with the truth of who I AM (as a powerful spiritual Being), but in extreme physical, emotional and mental pain, I could not hold to the truth of my well-being on my own.* Still… I wondered why I suddenly found myself alone. I was completely physically incapacitated, vomiting, hallucinating, and hurting from head to toe. My body went into shock and I slipped in and out of consciousness. I could no longer eat and I no longer needed to use the bathroom. I began to have more difficulty breathing. If things didn’t change, it seemed that I was going to die alone. It was then that I let go. With no answers from doctors, and no ability to help myself any further, I accepted the possibility of my own impending death. It was not resignation, but a release of struggle that gave me calm and peace. I re-membered Love, and forgiveness borne of compassion began to heal my heart. As I laid there, day by day, gratitude moved back in. Suddenly, needs turned into reality. Somehow I’d found a few very supportive friends. An affordable apartment in a preferred area became available to me. Without asking anyone, I had all the help I needed to move to the new apartment. My estranged daughter called me with loving messages. I was able to sit up and keep food down. And then, a doctor I knew (who has been retired for 3 years), contacted me to say that he was flying in just for the day to treat my condition. He had been able to diagnose it when other specialists couldn’t. Though I was still in bed most of the day and night, I was stunned by the blessings coming my way. In the dark night of my soul, a light of hope began to twinkle. After the doctor arrived, it took just 90 minutes of energy medicine to effect remarkable changes in my body and mind. It turns out that I had a severe viral infection in my brain and vagus nerve which had also compromised multiple systems. My body was shutting down. I laid on the doctor’s table, completely surrendered to the Light of Love and open to possibility. A third person was present to document the treatment and witness the emotions, physical sensations/pains, blisters, welts, and other marks on my body which simultaneously appeared and then disappearing within minutes. I was having the spontaneous healing I’d only heard about! After 3 days, I found that I could function in a real way and after one follow-up treatment, I am already recovering my health and vitality. Yes, that’s a miracle. I should add that new tests show astounding improvement in my previous physical conditions which were documented in 6-months of hospital and physician records. I’m on my way back… and the doctors are dumbfounded! Thought is the creation and emotion is the fuel that drives it into being. We can manifest anything we need or want—at once—whether it is on the level of the physical, mental, emotional or spiritual. We must watch to recognize the gift when it comes, because it doesn’t always show up how we think it will. Our new love might not have blue eyes and that car might not be red—and what we really require may already be under our nose. Letting go in faith means releasing appearances or conditions. It means releasing attachment to an outcome knowing that the best of our imaginings or possibly something even better is coming. All we have to do is focus on the “what”, and leave the “how” up to All That Is. Miracles happen. They do. Gratitude is the key to the alignment that puts us in a state of allowing and receiving those miracles. Here’s to YOUR miracle! Thank you Ken, for being the Messenger. Many Blessings!

Living in Gratefulness and Gratitude as a Tool
What is the feeling you get when someone thanks you? I remember being thanked so deeply that my sincerest, “You’re welcome,” did not equal what I was given. I felt that heartfelt thanks, their words of gratitude. In the book, Manifesting 1,2,3 and you don’t need #3, gratitude is shown to be a very important tool for increasing the power of your thoughts. With the simple addition of gratitude you can manifest more powerfully and efficiently. When you engage one of the two great powers in the Universe, Love or Fear with your thoughts, you have engaged creation itself. Your positive or negative thoughts are creating right now so here is some great information from a previous newsletter, the how-to of gratitude. Why the Gratefulness? Gratitude is a true power and we can feel its effects when it is focused on us. It’s also true that your use of gratitude can be felt by others and like any good tool, it can be used to effect changes, large and small. About those Grateful Things: I still remember the time Judy Goodman made this statement in her workshop, “Every day, think of 7 Grateful Things.” Judy can directly see how gratitude changes the energetic field around us in a favorable way, so she highly recommends the practice. The first time she mentioned this, I thought it was a nice piece of advice. Now I understand how fundamental it is on so many levels, so much so that I made it a section in the book, thank you Judy! Here are just some of the things that gratitude can do: Internally, it makes you more aware. Being grateful has a side effect of making you happier. People can see that you are grateful and it is happily infectious. Gratitude may not make you stronger, but it is a big tool for dealing with problems. You will see how much of the world divides into Love or Fear. Where do you want to be? Please remember that when you are adding either gratitude or worry / love or fear to your repetitive thoughts, your idea begins to take form mor powerfully and efficiently. Thanksgiving is a beautiful reminder to be grateful and join hands and hearts together in calm and love.

Manifesting Tip: The Value of Flexibility
I recently had a conversation with my good friend Barbara about the idea of manifesting and surrender, a topic covered in this newsletter last month: How to Deal with Fear and About the Idea of Surrender She talked about her recent, private session with Judy Goodman and relayed some important suggestions Judy had made. Judy is the person mentioned numerous times in Manifesting 1,2,3 and you don’t need #3. Among her many gifts is the ability to watch our thoughts coalesce into form in the ‘spirit,’ non-physical realm around us. Judy’s experiences allow her amazing insights into what our prayers and thoughts do. It is a delight and privilege to pass this important information onto you, so thank you Barbara and Judy. After hearing this specific information from Judy, Barbara likes to label this as the idea of flexibility. Often we get very specific when asking or manifesting outcomes for that job, lifestyle, or partner. Judy offers that the God of your understanding, as Judy likes to say, doesn’t need that level of detail. Our view of potential outcomes is very limited. Regardless, we press on to create our best outcome without realizing that we are actually suggesting or even demanding a lesser solution. Here’s a suggestion, leave out the smaller details and keep to the big picture. If you could create the best possible outcome then why settle for less? We are worthy. Our prayers are heard and further, we can create with our thoughts, and that brings up two variables. What will the outcome look like and when? For decades I have heard Judy offer this ideal phrase, “Ask that your best and highest intentions be done.” That covers a lot of territory and it also lessens the burden of the what or when. Barbara likes to add, “… and that it has opened up and is rapidly rushing to me now,” a nice touch. Our idea of perfecting the outcome is another way of saying, “I won’t have it unless it is this.” I like the song by Garth Brooks, Unanswered Prayers. “Sometimes I thank God for unanswered prayers Remember when you’re talkin’ to the man upstairs That just because he may not answer doesn’t mean he don’t care. Some of God’s greatest gifts are unanswered.” Our lives proceed in a series of planned and unplanned steps. It may be the job that takes care of us for now but it is not the ultimate career choice. We have the opportunity to gracefully learn during this time. We can also be stubborn and resist the idea that we are in a good place for the moment. All is well and worth our gratitude, but we feel a lack, and it creates misery for ourselves. It comes back to the idea of asking and manifesting the best possible future and being flexible about the timing and the path it will take. Allow yourself what Barbara calls the joy of the beautiful surprise, How may times have we been thrilled by an outcome better that we could possibly imagine? These beautiful moments are yours for the asking. What would the best and highest good in your life look like? It may take some courage and flexibility on your part but that powerful phrase suggests fulfillment and happiness. Make your happy and intriguing future come true.
