How to Deal with Fear and About the Idea of Surrender

The #2 of Manifesting 1, 2, 3 and you don’t need #3 is about fear and it’s something we all have to face. Consider this newsletter a quick and Very Important tutorial on dealing with fear. Fear has been addressed here before and the links below point to previous articles with the simple tools for dealing with those worries and fears. After those links, something new is offered: supportive ideas and information from an unusual and loving source. This book is all about how your thoughts create whatever you are repetitively thinking and describes how it takes place. We all possess this ability, to create with our thoughts – we were born with it.  Here’s a bonus: if you add one of the great powers in the universe to your thought, Love or Fear, it will create the thought more efficiently. That goes for the pleasant thoughts we work to manifest and the negative ones we obsessively worry about. Your thoughts will make so-called good or bad things without judgment. That’s why is it so important to get all the information you need for understanding and directing your thoughts toward the outcomes you desire. Become an expert in handing worry and fear with these articles: Love, Fear, and Manifesting Dealing with Worry Important: Dealing With Worries / Making Them Work For You With the information in those articles you now understand what your thoughts can do. Now you have the tools you need to “act on those worries” to your benefit. Great, and then you put it into practice every day. You have done all you can do, so then what happens? In a conversation with Nancy Rynes sometime back, she relayed a profound message from the female spirit Nancy met on the ‘other side.’ Nancy was involved in a serious accident and was clinically dead for what was apparently a few minutes. What resulted was a near-death experience where Nancy was on the ‘other side’ for the equivalent of 2-3 months. While there, she was taught by a silvery, female spirit  of great wisdom and her experiences resulted in a wonderful book,  Awakenings from the Light. When Nancy and I were talking, she expressed her concerns about finances and I admitted the same. We both have a good, working knowledge of manifesting and we also write and teach it. So why isn’t it constantly producing everything we think of on demand? We both had some pretty big concerns going. OK, we worried at times and stopping the worry cycle is difficult. What else could we do? Nancy got the answer when she encountered the female spirit again in a dream. Nancy told me the spirit said this about her worries, “Surrender. We’ve got this.” I immediately understood that this was significant, so I grabbed a pen and wrote it on a sticky note. Could I just surrender? Not really, and it trips up almost everyone I know, but to those of us manifesting every day, consider this. You understand how your thoughts are creating what you think. In your manifesting and your prayers, you are creating only the positives. Gratitude is something you have learned to use daily to your advantage. You manage your worries by converting them to action items. That being done, what else is there to do? I would offer this: Go back to work. Then do something enjoyable. Rest. Manifest and Pray. Repeat. You have done all you can do at this point. You have touched everything you have the power to change and now where do you find yourself? Waiting. It just may be that you are in what I would call Divine Timing.  At this point we just have to step through each day and continue with our good routines. We are manifesting a good outcome but the WHEN is beyond OUR CONTROL. Besides worry, and that’s the worst thing to do, what other options are there? “Surrender. We’ve got this.” You are now in the best place you can be with a team of Divine players looking out for your best interests. They clearly know what you seek and it is being efficiently worked on. It’s just that the timing is beyond our knowing and control. This thinking can be called faith or trust.  It works for some but it is a wobbly stool for many of us to sit with. I like the idea that we do our reasonable part each day and await the results of what we manifest, and many do in a timely way. For those items that still haven’t appeared, just leave it to your very capable team. I like those confident words, “We’ve got this.” Later, it’s OK to turn off the lights and get a good nights sleep. Ken P.S.

Manifesting Big During the Workshop! Part 2

Last week Neanne wrote about her most unusual rental home sale. First off, she got the sale only to have the interested buyer back out. Then, for reasons unknown, the same buyer came back a few hours with a better offer, over the listing price! All this happened while Neanne was attending a Manifesting 1,2,3 workshop! Here’s the first story: Manifesting Big During the Workshop, part 1 Neanne and her husband owned a second rental property and their plan was to sell it as well. With those sales they could pay down what they currently owe on their primary home and simplify their lives. As Neanne wrote in the first story, her first rental home sold in a miraculous way. Neanne knows that manifesting works so she began manifesting the sale of rental home #2. Here’s what happened. Neanne writes: Here’s where I am with the remaining rental home for sale. I am well-read regarding manifesting and I have been practicing it for years.  However, when I read Manifesting 1,2,3 and you don’t need #3, I discovered how simple the process really is. It gave me clarity. I learned how our thoughts actually make it happen and that was the game changer! Manifesting worked brilliantly for the rental home #1 so I put it right to work on rental home #2. My intention was to get the best possible price quickly and efficiently. Common wisdom says it wouldn’t be easy but my manifesting gives me an uncommon advantage. Rental home #2 is not in the greatest location. I have co-workers with homes on the market nearby and they are not selling. The overall market in the city is good, but not in this neighborhood.  We had listed the house before but unfortunately, we had to pull the listing for lack of interest. While getting the house ready to sell, I was manifesting a good outcome. Once house #2 was prepped it was time to list it online. So ready, set, go, we posted our listing. ONE HOUR later we sold the house for $15,000 over our listed price!! It was the fastest sale my agent had ever had! Was it a coincidence? I don’t think so because others listing nearby clearly didn’t have results like ours. Plus, it was really nice to get that sale on my birthday. Now I am working to manifest more good things. There’s no stopping now! Neanne   There are over 200 stories on the Manifesting 123 website. Other readers are writing in with their very encouraging success stories, all searchable by keywords.

Manifesting Big During the Workshop! Part 1

In this story I have just wrapped up a Manifesting 1,2, 3 Workhsop in Denver. During the class, one of the attendees, Neann, said that her intention was to sell a rental home they had listed, but it wasn’t going well…. Ken Neann writes: Manifesting is not a new subject for me, I have been familiar with it for years. It is a well-written topic and there are a lot of different approaches to achieve results. There are so many strategies they seem to be stepping on each other at times, or at least in my mind. When I read about Manifesting 1,2,3 and you don’t need #3, I was struck by the simplicity of it so, I signed up for Ken’s workshop. I had a primary goal in mind. My husband and I owned three rental properties and we felt like it was time for us to sell them at a good price and simplify our lives a bit more. Just like the book title, we have houses 1, 2, and 3. House #1 is not in a great location. After last renter, we had to do a lot maintenance work do get it ready To sell. Regardless, our real estate agent was not optimistic, thinking that the house would take a while to sell and that it would not bring a great price. So that was what was on my mind when I when into the workshop that morning. Just before the workshop started, my husband called me and said we had a buyer, great news! I stayed in touch with my husband with a text messages during the class. Well, this is going wonderfully. I’m in a manifesting class and I’ve sold the house. I’m loving this! Shortly after, my husband texted me and said that the buyer backed out. Ug. Now we were at the point in the class where we clarify our desires. That was easy, I’m going to manifest the sale of this house and is going to get a very good price on our terms. I went to work on that idea in the clean and efficient way Manifesting 1,2,3 lays out. Once the workshop finished, I got a call from my husband. It was the most unbelievable thing. The very same person that decided NOT to buy the house called back again and said yes to the purchase and offered $12,000 more than our asking price. What was that about? We did negotiate the price up, the buyer did it on his own. Of course we said yes! I hung up the phone and told all of the workshop people the good news. (I was stunned, but I should know better! Ken) Manifesting 1,2,3 works! Neann There are over 200 stories on the Manifesting 123 website. Other readers are writing in with their very encouraging success stories, all searchable by keywords.

Manifesting Tour: Eye Out for the Pink Elephants!

You have to love it when something gets ‘proofed out.’ Here’s a stunning example what your thoughts do. I’ve expanded this newsletter with more information / links from past newsletters to bring it all together for you. Get ready! Ken From Manifesting 1,2,3 and you don’t need #3, page 109: “What’s the best method for envisioning a Movie? To prepare for my Movie, I choose a time when I’m sitting up. The chances are far greater that I’m alert and awake. I find when I’m doing the Movie laying down I will often go to sleep because we are trained to do that. I prefer to recline, but only do so if I’m not tired.” “Either way, I’m just as normal as anyone else. My mind wanders and pink elephants appear in my thoughts. I’m not at all concerned if my thinking veers off to another subject during my Movie.” “I don’t sit down every day and repeat a vision of pink elephants. Without the repetition and intention, I won’t have any elephants in my future.” The idea of the pink elephants is a device I have retold numerous times and it is a good visual. Just this week I was in a conversation with someone from out of town, Grace, and the subject of manifesting came up. Turns out, she is very familiar with the idea and practices manifesting daily. Grace told me she is very clear on the concept because she has been able to travel to the other side on many occasions while fully conscious. It’s called out-of-body or astral travel. One of the best authorities on the sublet is the author William Buhlman. We are close friends and during one of our conversations, he told me that when he was “over there,” he could watch his thoughts take form. It was a profound conversation that started me on the journey to write this book and pass this knowledge onto you. So back to Grace, I asked her about some of her experiences when she was out of body. One of the first experiences she mentioned was a time when she was in an empty room. For whatever the reason, and lacking any other stimulation, she had the thought of a pink elephant. It is one of those arc typical images like counting sheep, no big deal. Well, when you are in a non-physical realm as Grace was in, your thoughts take form very quickly. In a wink, Grace was suddenly looking at a pretty large pink elephant! It had instantly appeared because she had casually thought of one. And here it goes… as we like to say, “Don’t think about the pink elephant,” right? Good luck with that. Grace couldn’t stop thinking about the pink elephant and guess what? More elephants were instantly taking form. Elephants are BIG and they were beginning to take up all the space in the room!! Grace was forced to change her thinking and do it fast! She began thinking of a different locale and instantly, she was in another place. She focused only on what she was seeing and escaped the cascading elephants. Seconds later, she was back in her physical body, safe in her bed, laughing. In fact she laughed about that experience for the rest of the day. She was almost trampled by her thoughts. Whew! In the physical world, our thoughts create form and concepts without judgment. Thoughts take longer to manifest in our physical space but nonetheless, they create cars and happiness, lack and fearful outcomes, time to relax or chaos. Anything you are repetitively thinking is taking form right now and if you add the emotion of love or fear to a thought it creates more powerfully and efficiently. More on the topic here Here is an expanded explanation on how your thoughts actually create form and concepts. This is the REAL secret to creation. Grace is finished with the pink elephants but the lesson is one that she will never forget. She is aware of what she is thinking and careful with her words. She has literally watched her thoughts take form right in front of her. Do you have some thoughts you would like to corral and others you want to put to work? Start now!

Manifesting a Flight Before the Hurricane

If manifesting can create anything…. and it can, why not use it for everything? Ken Olivia writes, There is a big difference between observing the hurricane coverage from a safe place and watching it come directly to your position. I was visiting friends on the lower east coast and had planned a couple more days there before flying back west to my home. The media coverage of Hurricane Harvey revealed that it was heading my way. This was a major event, creating a lot of damage and misery. It was also closing a lot of airports as it moved northward and mine might be next. It was important for me to avoid being stranded and missing work back home. A number of other air travelers were coming to the same conclusion and they were quickly booking all the outbound flights. After a lot of time on the computer that evening, I tried to book a way out but I couldn’t get a reservation. It looked like I would be stuck. I called it a night but before sleeping, I went to work on manifesting a perfect solution. I told myself that there would be a seat for me on the flight home early tomorrow and visualized it happening. Here is the interesting part. I had a dream about exactly that. I was on a plane, leaving for home without a hitch. Once I woke, I began packing and headed to the airport to catch that early flight. Once I got to the airport I went straight to the ticket counter and inquired about the next flight. I was told that my preferred flight, the earliest one was totally booked, but she printed out a standby ticket for me and I went to the gate. The airport was full of people with their regular travel and many more of us getting out of Dodge. Any later flights that day were dicey because the weather was moving in and with it, the possibility of an airport closure. There was nothing else to do now but to wait at my departure gate and watch everyone get on the plane. No one called my name and after what seemed like an eternity, everyone was on board. I held on to the fact that I was manifesting a result and I had clearly dreamed that I made this flight. A flight attendant came out of the gate, walked over to the podium and talked to the gate agent. Then I heard my name called and as I walked up, the ticket agent held out my boarding pass. I got a seat! As we took off, my feelings were one of gratefulness, happiness and a feeling of accomplishment. My visit was cut short but I was guaranteed not not miss any work when I arrived back home. Manifesting is a big part of my life and with confirmations like this, I clearly understand what a great tool it is! Olivia There are over 200 stories on the Manifesting 123 website.

Prayer as Manifesting

For most of my life I have deeply believed that prayers and manifesting are one and the same. This is something I practice and teach and it has proven to be successful for others and myself innumerable times. I was born with a number of ailments that have affected me all my life. For the sake of humor, let me just say that I am a bit north of 40 years old. One of the problems I’ve been having has been the linkage between my digestive tract, esophagus and sinuses. Without proper functioning, these different parts of my body can connect in uncomfortable and painful ways. There are times when I have stomach acid in my throat and sinuses, causing considerable pain and discomfort. Over the years I have prayed many times to manifest a solution or cure. It has clearly been shown to me that when I am praying, something is created and given to me, but to this point, even with a considerable amount of medical care and investigations, I have not been relieved of my illness. All of that changed a few days ago when I decided to just surrender and accept that I would always have this affliction. This is not the first occasion I had resolved to a life of chronic illness, but for whatever the reason this time, a change came over me within hours. I began to experience a deep hurt, it was more than an ache and it extended into my muscles and bones. This was something new to my experience; a frightening pain and I let my husband know about it. I felt that I was in real trouble. My dear husband stayed close to calm me. We were thinking of getting me to the hospital by ambulance since I would receive immediate medical when they arrived. My alarming sensations continued with the addition of a shiver that was focused on my throat and carried down to my ribs. There was some pain and cramping involved, adding to my concerns and confusion. Suddenly something began to occur in my sinuses. I was getting this huge blockage inside my head. When this happens I have a special bottle with essentially water and salt that allows me to get the liquid into my sinuses. I applied it but it didn’t have any effect – that was a surprise, so I took the unusual step of doing it a second time. I will not be descriptive here but let me just say that with the increasing pressure in my sinuses and the second application, my head immediately began clearing in a major way, and fast. I was happy to be over the kitchen sink at the time. Oddly, this felt like progress, so I stayed with it, not panicking and putting off that ambulance. What was going on with me? After the sinuses cleared, my trembling and pain diminished to a manageable level. I felt okay enough to just get into bed and attempt to get some sleep. When I woke in the morning I had a profound sense of peace and healing coupled with a feeling of exhaustion. It was as if I had just finished running a marathon and I was tired, so tired. As the day went on my energy and my joy increased. Early the next morning I sent this text out to my friends, “Praise God. I was delivered last night from my years of illness.” I am so very, very grateful! Mary When I got Mary’s text, I called her immediately to hear more of her story. She graciously gave took the time and care so it would be ready for today’s newsletter…for you. Mary wanted to get this story out as another way to praise and honor God and to also encourage us to just ask in whatever form is comfortable to us. We are all Worthy.

I Think I Can?  I Think I Can!

As Galileo said, “All truths are easy to understand once they are discovered.” Once you discover the direct connection between your thoughts and creation, you will jump at the chance to begin! Ken   C. writes: I have been listening to Manifesting 1,2,3 and you don’t need #3 on Audible and it makes me think back to when I was a little kid. Of course there were times I really wanted some things to happen and this particular example stands out in my mind. At the time, my parents had applied to a list for government housing. They had discussed how they hoped to get a freestanding house over the townhome style. I remember praying and praying (I was not quite a teen) day and night until they got what they wanted. I see this now as prayer and because of the way I visualized it, a manifestation. Your book was a great help, describing how my thoughts are creating as I think them. I now understand the many other examples of this power in my life. I’ve always been a bit skeptical about manifesting and the law of attraction, but mostly due to the lack of an explanation of how manifesting actually works. I didn’t realize manifesting was directly related to my thoughts. I always thought I was going to have to perform some magic trick, deep meditation, or trance style experience. I am listening, learning more and purposely making this work for me!! C.

We Found Our Perfect Home To Buy. Miracles Needed to Make it Happen.

Buying a home is one of the biggest joys in life. In order to make that happen, Leslie and her boyfriend had to overcome some very large obstacles: miracles would be required. They put Manifesting 1,2,3 to work. What a story! Ken Leslie writes: Last year my significant other and I decided to find an “ours” home to live in together. We each had our own places but he was going to sell his and I was going to rent mine out. We looked at over 60 homes and never could find one that we both liked at the same time. Last August I found one online that was perfect. I don’t know how I found it, as my boyfriend looked for it high and low on the site but it never showed up in his searches. Anyhow, we scheduled a showing for that night and once we saw it, we knew that it was truly perfect for us. During that showing I had my boyfriend sit on the house pond-dock take in the beauty of the pond and surroundings. The idea was for him to remember it. The owners of the pond home didn’t really want our purchase offer contingent upon the sale of my boyfriend’s present townhome but thankfully, they reluctantly accepted our offer. Now we had to get a buyer for my boyfriend’s luxury townhome. It had been on the market for months with very little interest. A few days after accepting our contingency offer, we were bumped by another buyer with a cash offer. We were devastated! Our dream home was lost! Once I regained my footing, I told my boyfriend that if it was ours, we couldn’t lose it. I also told him to remember the feeling he had when he sat on the pond dock taking in the beauty of the property. A month or so went by and still we couldn’t find another home that spoke to us both the way the pond house did. It didn’t really matter though because there were literally no showings on his luxury townhome. His townhome had to sell in order to finance any new home purchase for us. Several times a day we would both take time to feel that wonderful feeling we had while sitting on that dock a few months earlier. Two months after we lost out to the cash offer, the very pond house was suddenly listed for sale again! We immediately put our offer back in and it was accepted with a bit more humility from the sellers this time. Evidently the deal fell through with that previous cash buyer. Here’s where it gets interesting. The pond house sellers accepted our offer Sunday morning even though it was still a contingent offer. Sunday afternoon my boyfriend got a call from his realtor to schedule a showing for his townhome two days forward. During the townhome showing, my boyfriend was home and met the interested couple. As it turned out, the couple had been watching his townhome online for two months from out of state. The potential buyer was being relocated back to our area, had just sold his home in Atlanta days earlier and was now a cash buyer. In fact, they flew in that morning from Atlanta to the Chicago area specifically to see the townhome. By noon that day, they made a full price cash offer on the townhome and we happily accepted. A month later, my boyfriend and I were sitting once again on the dock of that pond house taking in the beauty of the property which was now ours. What I learned in Manifesting 1, 2, 3 really did work here. I’ve managed to create some fantastic changes in my life once again! Thanks Ken! PS:  I’ve attached a couple of pictures of my new home!  (One the top and one below.) I’m sitting on the dock in one of them. That photo was taken the day we first previewed the pond house and we used it to help manifest it into our lives. Leslie There’s more here. Did you notice that when Leslie and her boyfriend lost the initial offer, two months went by before the pond house miraculously came back on the market? And during that time, the Atlanta couple was simultaneously looking at the boyfriend’s townhome. It is as if the pond home was put on hold until the Atlanta couple was ready to buy – two months later! This is a great example of manifesting an outcome without too much detail. You wouldn’t write a complicated script like that, but you can manifest it into existence easily. Ken       Photo credits: Leslie’s pond home!

I Manifested My Second Great Job. This Works!

This is the second time that Barbara has manifested a great job. The first one was exactly what she needed and it came just in time! Here is that story. That initial job was ideal, until it wasn’t. Things change, we grow and our needs change. When the time came to search for new employment, Barbara knew what to do and created her personal ‘miracle.’ Ken    Barbara writes: I wrote to you last year about getting my dream job a the largest science Museum in the western hemisphere but even better things have come my way since then. Last summer, I grew unhappy with my Museum job. My boss had decided that she needed a traditional secretary rather than an executive assistant. The room for growth that was initially proposed with this job vanished. I was literally stuck at my desk all day answering a phone that rarely rang. So I used the Manifesting 1,2,3 information once again to create my next wonderful job. I began to see my future and in that future, I was in a job that utilized my natural gifts and talents, paid me far more and gave me a private office. I didn’t know where it would be, only that they would find me and it would be the perfect job for me. Within three days of starting this movie…I received two emails from two different companies that had seen my resume on Career Builder. I had no recollection of even posting a resume there! Both companies wanted me to come in for an interview.  Each job offered more growth and a much larger salary. Eventually, each employer offered me the listed jobs and each came up in salary in order to snag me. I was confused as to which one was the right one for me, so I sat down and gave thanks, asking that the right job floated to the top so I could see the difference. Within a couple of days, a snarky email from one recruiter wondering why I never responded to an email made things clear. The recruiter had actually sent my confirming email to a person with a name similar to mine.  I never received it. He didn’t seem at all concerned that he had made a mistake and I since found him to be less than professional in the way he handled things, I accepted the offer from the other company. On the first day of my new job, I was ushered into my private office with a view of the Chicago skyline! I am still here and growing. My job has expanded and I am appreciated and respected.  This literally is the perfect job for me as it truly does use my natural gifts and talents.
