Results from the Sky and the Ground
I just returned from a trip to a large farm in Canada. I was invited up by a wonderful couple that run the farm. There are far too many good things to share here, but I was honored to be there in the gracious company of the owners Ty and Janice. I spent time with their great family and three sweet people that worked the ranch as well.I saw marvelous things on the trip – just like I manifest each day. I really don’t specify what good things I see in the world, only that they give me happiness. The Milky Way was better than I could have imagined. This farm is a big operation with cattle, pigs, and organic vegetables. It is a complex set of opportunities, problems and big expenses. Lately Ty and Janice have been trying to figure out the right mix economically and also follow their heart’s desire. What would they really like to do with all the farming options available? Capital is not unlimited, so after a lot of effort and thought, they began to expand their favorite, the organic vegetable operations. They put out their intention to successfully grow additional crops and also for a clear route to sell more. They also required a graceful expansion in step with the increased demand. It’s tricky. The crop came in big. They used all their resources to bring in their standard harvest. They were elated with their overage, but all those extra vegetables this season created a big problem. How to get them out of the fields and into market with just the two owners and three helpers? Hire more people? Spend for more equipment? They did decide to buy a large hoop-shaped greenhouse structure (high-tunnel.) They could only afford one since they cost thousands of dollars, even used. They would continue to grow vegetables in the open and expand their framing under the protection of the greenhouses. They would get more helpers to harvest and buy more greenhouses as they could afford to. That’s a great plan but at the moment, they had a LOT of vegetables in the fields without enough help to harvest and package the bounty. They had almost manifested a perfect plan to this point, but the skies came into play. They had a major hailstorm that demolished the excess crop in the fields. It was a big blow. All that they did by working hard every day was wiped out instantly. Then something marvelous happened. The company that sold them their hoop from called with information about 5 more. A farm had been sold for development and the hoops were not wanted by the new owners. If Ty and Janice were interested, they could have these very expensive greenhouse hoops for free! An elegant, long-term solution appeared. Yes, they lost this bumper corp but it didn’t matter. Their season came out just fine without the excess vegetables. With the extra greenhouses, they could expand operations in their preferred way, organic vegetables, and grow them in protected greenhouses. With the money they saved, they could hire more help and quickly expand with less risk. By the way, the farm’s vegetables are in increasing demand each year. The hail didn’t matter and they were saved the problem of handing more crops before they were ready. Just ask. You will get a good solution. Sometimes what we desire has a lot of moving parts. We can’t foresee every contingency. Use the manifesting techniques once a day to point yourself to the future of your choosing. Ty and Janice have a lot on their plate, but over time they learned that the worries (now down-graded to concerns) get solved in regular or amazing ways. They have been manifesting for some time and they no longer spend energies in worry, they continue moving toward the goals they choose. “It just works out,” they say, simple as that. …those that know me would be shocked to hear me say that I miss those yummy vegetables.

$10,000 Redeaux, Spooky!
Just in… Cindy was reading the newsletter from last Monday. In the newsletter, Melanie got her big job offer only hours after making her intention for $10,000 by the end of the year. story After reading Melanie’s story from last week, Cindy writes: It happened all in the same day. In your newsletter I saw the photo of $10,000, and visualized it floating down to me. I thought about how wonderful it would be to ensure that I can cover my house refinance this week. I thought about the stories I’ve read on your website about manifesting perfect homes, so imagined holding the $10,000 in my hand. Later the same day, my daughter came to the house, having come straight from her bank, with $10,000 cash to give to me! I had sold some jewelry long ago to help pay for her college education. She found out recently that some of her student loans will be forgiven due to unforeseen circumstances, so she wanted to give me $10,000 back. Such a miracle! And so fast! Your long-term friend and associate, Cindy What’s the difference between a big miracle and a little one? How could something so big happen so fast??? Maybe it is because Cindy not only asked for this but she used the new techniques in the book to manifest her desire. So, What’s the difference between a big miracle and a little one? NOTHING. Spooky, huh? Take full advantage of this great gift we have all been given! Make this Halloween a Hallowed one. Listen to the radio link below and hear me explain how. Happy Halloween!

$10,000 by the end of the year?
Over the past couple months my dear friend Kelly has referenced “manifesting,” and Ken Elliott. Because I trust her and am always encouraged by her suggestions, I eventually ordered the book Manifesting 123 for my Kindle. During a very busy week, I took a break for lunch and began the book. Early in the book when Ken said, “If you never turn another page in this book that’s perfectly okay, but allow me this request: I want you to make some wishes. They are just for you, no one else,” I thought, I will! My wish was simple.” I want to make $10,000 before the end of the year.” Within the next couple of hours, I received an email from a recruiting specialist in my industry. She wanted to talk to me about a Director’s position with a large firm! Remember the sonic booms we used to hear when jets were breaking the sound barrier? That was me! Not for just the inquiry, but the fact I’d just put my wishes out there! I had a power jolt of joy to my being. Whether I understood the results or not, I felt strengthened and affirmed. This quick response to my wish cleared my vision . . . heart vision that is! It raised the temperature of my believe-ometer! I have an interview in two days and I am stoked. Will I get the job or if offered, will I take it? Time will tell. I have my own business currently and everything will work out – I will know. That’s my cleared vision talking. After my getting the email, I immediately texted Kelly and shared the news. She replied with, “Ken wants to know if he can call you about your story.” Before I can respond, “BAM,” Ken is called while I was still in the joy of my experience. I affirmed his profound insights and direction with the book and the website www.manifesting123.com! During the call, Ken said something that I will take to the bank, or rather deposit into my wisdom account. He said, “It’s time for you to be taken care of so you have the time to do what you are here to do. If you are out foraging all day for nuts and berries just to survive, then there is little time left for anything else.” These words resonate like the freshness of a Rocky Mountain stream and are now in the Divine Ether where wishes are born and delivered. I’m reading the rest of Manifesting 123 and it will be my newest give away to all for whom I get that little nudge . . . and our children. Melanie Dreams do come true… yours! Melaine didn’t hesitate. What did she have to loose by trying? We have seen a lot of stories where people are looking for a specific result and it came true. Often the result comes about in an unexpected way. Melanie was very specific about making $10,000 by the end of the year. It will be interesting to see how this all works out. It’s a manifesting story in progress. She got a very quick response to her request and coincidence or not, something big is in motion. She may not get or want the job, but this happy call could indicate that good things are coming Melanie’s way. If not with this contact, then via a large number of other possible outcomes. There is the equivalent of that new job or money. Some people see their bills drop – the equivalent of having more money to pay the rent. In her own business, Melanie has any number of ways to hit the mark. That’s why she is in business after all. At the core of this is living happily and comfortably. We want our bills covered without worry and a nice place to live and thrive. So at a minimum, ask for, manifest the basics so you can have the time for others dear to you and to possibly be of service to others. Rather than struggling to survive, you will have the the resources and energy to be and do more. It’s not a lot to ask and aspire to, so give it a try. We are cheering you on Melanie and ourselves as well, Ken Notes: Got a story to pass on? We’d love to hear more! Do you have your own story to share? Please send it in via the contact form.

From S*** to Shineola
A couple of years back, my good friend W had a big problem. She purchased a wonderful home, decorated it beautifully and settled in. She is a realtor, was doing pretty well and now that the house was squared away, she thought about getting a better car – a must for driving prospective buyers around. Her present car was just hanging on and it was time to move quickly. Besides, it was very important to have a more reliable care and to project more successful image. Yes, in this newsletter there have been an inordinate number of cars manifested lately, but stay with me….So far so good. Her budget didn’t allow a new car, but a great, used car would do just fine, so she decided to start looking. But then this terrible thing happened. It was coming from the basement and it smelled awful. The smell told her to call a plumber to come by and investigate. A pipe had burst under the solid concrete basement floor. There was no way to fix the problem except by tearing up the concrete and finding the broken pipe underneath. It was going to cost about $7000 to correct the disaster and it was getting worse by the day. There goes the new car right down the drain. By the way, her present car was having real problems of it’s own. She let someone borrow it, the person had an accident and totaled the car. What a catastrophe, but at least the driver of her car was OK. There would be some insurance money coming in but not enough to get a proper new car and fix the basement problem. Ouch! Soon after, W. and two of her friends came over to talk about manifesting. They brought the dinner, we had fun just talking and then we got down to business. I went through the manifesting ideas with all three and at the end of the evening I said, “All I want to do is set you on fire.” I wished them well and they all went home to bed. That night, each woke suddenly at 3am and had an amazing experience. Sorry, but I’ll write up those experiences in another newsletter. For now I’ll tell you that morning something profound happened to each one. It was not just one of those things… W was inspired by the experience. She had worked on manifesting her desires and this plumbing problem was very much in the way. So that same morning she called the builder of her home. W. didn’t buy this home new, she was the second buyer and so the house was out of warranty, but she called anyway. As it turns out, she was connected to a person with real authority and since he was in the area, he came right over to see what the problem was. After a quick look, the builder’s representative declared that they would repair the problem at no charge. This builder would not allow a flaw like this to go forward and possibly spoil the firms reputation. The plumbing was fixed and in a couple of days W. found her perfect used car. She drove it over and I thought it was brand new! It was a beautiful Lexus sedan at a price that was just perfect. W. is a good friend and works my neighborhood, giving me numerous opportunities to see her driving her ideal car. I chuckle every time this story comes to mind… from you know what to shineola! It all comes together, but not the way you might plan it. What a story. What a mess in the basement with a car wreck piled on. What back luck, but W went to work manifesting and not only did she have a remarkable event that woke her up that night (I promise more of that story later) but in the morning her solution was at hand. Just the right person was at the builder’s office to take the call and it set everything into motion. All the problems vanished and she was left with all the money necessary to get what she wanted in the first place, the perfect car. It’s the one in the photo at the top. It was all in the asking, then going forward to make that call…. Got a story to pass on? We’d love to hear more!

Manifesting the Perfect Job +
Yesterday I got laid off my job, but it was perfect. My present company paid for my relocation here, but since they laid me off, I don’t have to pay back the $8,000 relocation fee. I have been working on manifesting my perfect job and so far, so good. Being laid off is unusual, but it is real progress toward my happy goal. That job was not the best thing for me and in leaving, I got a major break on waiving that relocation fee too. It would have really held me there. So, here I am, happy in this new town and free of those burdens. Then came that good break. Last week the local Humane Society asked me to shoot stills and video of the potential pets for them. Terrific! The work I did connected animals at the Society with their new owners. (One of the dogs up for adoption is pictured above.) But there’s more. The Choral Society here asked me to help with their marketing. I’m free from the everyday repetition of a ‘standard’ job and I am doing the things I love. It is perfect that both of these new jobs are in line with the life theme I set for myself: “Exploring Mindfully Creative Connections.” I am so very grateful for this outcome. And it keeps coming…. Then I learned my friend’s golden retriever, Beauregard has a malignant polyp. That’s not good news, so my friend and I went right to work on manifesting a good outcome. We have been writing the dog’s ‘movie’ for days now. In his movie, Beauregard is thinner, active and leaping over waves in the ocean. In his future, he is well and healthy. Today Beauregard went in for surgery. They removed the tumor without an incision so recovery will be much faster. There was only one tumor and the cancer it is not in the lymph nodes or the blood. The doctor said that in a few days we will see clean margins at the operation site and all will be well. This is what my manifestation world looks like. Thank you! T Expect the obvious and the unexpected. … and can you have influence beyond yourself? (continued from earlier in the week) What a sweet outcome. It’s tough to move to a new place with a new job. It’s tougher still to discover that you aren’t happy with the job you moved there for. Ouch! T. began to work on manifesting a new job. No, that would be too limiting. Instead, she had a broader idea, a better career that fits her life theme. She didn’t specify an office with a desk or imagine in detail what this career had to be. As a result, she manifested two happy results and there will surely be more. As for Beauregard, what a lucky dog! He had two people visualizing the same outcome for him. In an earlier newsletter this week, a daughter used the ‘movie’ technique to aid her mother’s car repair. Here’s the story. You can have influence in the field around you and others. For yourself – absolutely, and for others you can have an influence as well but it may be a lesser one. Do it anyway. It doesn’t hurt and sometimes you get a very good result. But keep in mind that you can’t run another person’s 100-yard dash or take their math test for them. Sometimes it is beyond your reach to do so. If you are inclined, use prayer. It is a powerful way to extend your reach for others and yes, yourself as well.Don’t forget that we are all worthy. Congratulations on the new career launch T. and many more happy days for Beauregard! Ken Do you have your own story to share? Please send it in via the contact form.

Got it Fixed in Five Days
Last Sunday, my mom and I were on the way to the theater and the “check engine” light came on in her car. She became very agitated and stressed because she loves the freedom of the open road and suddenly no longer felt safe driving her car. I suggested that we start manifesting a solution. However, she was really too stressed to hear me and simply couldn’t focus on manifesting or anything else other than getting home and parking her car in the garage. So I quietly started to run a “movie” about her car being fixed for an “affordable and reasonable price” by someone reliable so that she would once again feel safe in her car. On Monday morning I called her and asked what the game plan was for the car. She said she was working on some options. Once again, I quietly ran the “movie”. On Tuesday afternoon, I asked her what options she had thought of. She had made a list of garages that she was going to call for estimates. I suggested that she should also call the dealership just for a price comparison. As I hung up the phone, I again ran the “movie”. On Wednesday when I talked to her, she had called 3 garages and the dealership. Surprisingly, the dealership had the best prices and she had booked an appointment for the next morning. As I fell asleep, I ran the “movie” – twice this time just to supercharge it! Bright and early Thursday morning she had her appointment at the dealership. About 2pm, I received a text message from mom saying that the mechanic had run a complete diagnostic and couldn’t find anything wrong. He reset the onboard computer and the “check engine” light went off. The mechanic also gave her a short list of items that should be checked in the next few months, but nothing that would stop her from driving safely in her car. As she went to check out with the cashier, they washed and vacuumed her car. When she asked the cashier how much she owed, the cashier told her that the diagnostic fee had been waived and she didn’t owe anything … not one cent!!! How is that for an “affordable and reasonable price”?! LOL!! Thank you, thank you for teaching me how to run the “movie”!! 😀 With enormous gratitude and appreciation, Sandi Can you have influence beyond yourself? Yes you can. In manifesting anything is possible if you can think it…and here comes the qualifier. You can certainly help yourself but when it comes to directly helping others, your intentions are often less effective. Those that are close to us are within their own walk in life, with the everyday ups and downs for their individual lives. You can’t simply step in and run their 100 yard dash or take their calculus exam. These challenges for for them to learn. The good news is that you can have influence in the field around yourself and others as well. I can’t know with certainty, but perhaps the engine repair wasn’t mom’s ‘test,’ it was an everyday problem waiting for a solution. The happy result could have been just one of those nice events that come along or perhaps Sandi had some influence in mom’s field. It’s an encouraging story and as someone said to me after a manifesting success of my own, “Now do you see what you can do?” Sandi, don’t stop now!

Manifesting Colorado, via Las Vegas!
I visited Colorado for business and instantly fell in love with the beauty that the state had to offer and all the wonderful people there. While I was in Colorado, I kept thinking to myself, how nice it would be to live here. Logically, this would be very difficult to say or certainly do. I was in the middle of a major career transition and money was an issue, not to mention finding a place to live when I currently resided several states away. When I returned to my home state, I prepared the way and put into practice what I had learned from Ken Elliott for manifesting a move to Colorado. I had no idea how I was going to come up with the money, how to do it, or how it was going to happen. I knew in my heart that it was going to happen. It wasn’t long after that I had an opportunity to travel back to Colorado for business. This time I decided to drive and spend the night in Las Vegas, making the 2 day trip more manageable. All the way, I was playing my “movie” and I could see my life in Colorado as if it was already happening. I arrived in Vegas after 5pm, checked in to my hotel room and after dinner decided to play a little on the slot machines. I’m not a big gambler, so this was just for fun and something to pass the time. It wasn’t long however, (a whopping 10 minutes max!) that all of the lights on my slot machine lit up. I had just won $5000! After collecting my winnings, I went back to my hotel room. I was overcome with gratitude. I knew that all of that talk about “running your movie” that I had learned in Manifesting 123, had now manifested the money that I need to make my move and then some! I now live blissfully in the state that I love, surrounded by people who add so much joy and fulfillment to my life! I feel so Blessed! Thank you Universe! Joyce Not the plan…well, kinda. Joyce had a plan. Well, not really, but she was pointing herself to Colorado by using the manifesting technique of her ‘movie’ to imagine she was already there. Moving to Colorado was going to be complicated. She would need a new job, a place to live, and somehow pay for the change. She stayed with the idea and continued the manifesting techniques until the solution arrived. She didn’t plan on gambling her way to a solution, it just fell into her lap on day – in 10 minutes! Just to be clear, let’s not all run off to Vegas and gamble as a business plan. On the other hand, if a large amount of money or the equivalent of money suddenly falls into your lap and it solves a current problem…. You just may have manifested that solution. Would you like the bells and lights going off in your future? Check out the Lisa Starves radio interview below. I’ll explain further and I have a couple of fascinating stories to tell – like you have never heard before. Your story is next! Ken ________________________________ Want more?

Wow… it’s much Better at Work Now
Two months ago, I picked up a copy of Manifesting 123 and began to use the techniques. In my job I’m like a doorman. I am one of many people on 24/7 shifts that give people secure access to their homes. I really like the work but it’s difficult to get one of the better shifts so I can have weekend time off. Also, I needed to bring in more income. A second job worked in the past, but it is tiring and the changing shifts at my primary job created complications with the second one. What I really needed was one job with hours that allowed me to have a more social life. Also I needed more income to pay the bills with money left over for the good things in life. Well, nothing changes with shift assignments unless someone leaves and getting a good raise is really uncommon. So I decided to try the Manifesting 123 techniques. The stories in the book were pretty amazing and having nothing to loose, I gave it a shot. I did the techniques every day for about two months before I got that call. One of the staffers left, opening up a very plum shift with the weekend off. I was offered the slot and I took it immediately. There was a second surprise. I was offered a nice raise, one that would make a real difference. It was a double wow! There was another intention I was working on as well, a lovely companion. She recently appeared and my life is in such a better place than just a few months ago. Everything came together so smoothly. Was it the book? I can’t really know, but I’m definitely sticking with this manifesting program. Thank you, E That’s a lot of good I’m so glad that E. gave manifesting a try. His results are a dream come true, but aren’t they what he was working toward? He was using Manifesting 123 to bring in a better working schedule, more income and a nice companion. With very little effort on his part, these three intentions appeared in a most agreeable way. I did a radio interview last Sunday ( link below) and commented that it is hard to convince people of something that is too good to be true and so very easy to do. It is the stories from everyday people that show people what is possible. These stories are the proof in the pudding that encourages people to say, “Why not?” and find out for themselves. I hope to be passing on your good result here soon!

So Much Has Changed!
Jane writes: It is AMAZING how this works. I’m on Day 7, and I cannot believe how many things have just manifested. The important part is the “AND I AM SO GRATEFUL!” It all began when I was finally got the book, then I began to formulate my “movies.” In one of my movies, I visualized my physical body as being healthy and strong. I wasn’t imagining my 50 year old body as “buff” or “ripped” and I didn’t have “buns of steel.” In my movie I was just standing straight and tall, smiling, healthy, strong, and fit. Standing next to me was my life partner feeling exactly the same. The image was so powerful, and I was SO grateful. I created a flash flood of gratitude for that vision of my future! That night I happened to mention to my partner that I wanted to be strong and fit again. In the past when I talked about getting healthy, he came up with a laundry list of excuses not to. I would get discouraged and agree with him, so we never took any action other than finding reasons not to. The next time I asked it was different. He agreed with me that he would like to be more fit too, but instead of just making excuses, he suggested that we go for a walk. Our previous walks consisted of a short stroll to the end of our short street and back again. It hardly counted as exercise. As before, we walked to the end of the street, but now we agreed that it was a fine night and we should walk a little further. We picked up our pace and walked almost a mile. Since then, we’ve headed outside every chance we get, usually every other day. We are exercising together for the first time in YEARS. No arguments, excuses, guilt, effort, plan, equipment, pep talks, struggle, pain, and no gym memberships! The next thing I knew, we just started getting healthier. It is nearly unbelievable how quickly and effortlessly this came about. Another thing I visualized was me creating new “giftable art” products for the holidays that were fast, fun, and easy to make. On my way home from work I stopped at the corner thrift shop and found 20 small journals that I paid only $6 for. I quickly figured out how to transform those 30 cent journals into $15 journals in two easy steps. They sold IMMEDIATELY. I made $294 for about an hour’s work! After using the techniques in Manifesting 1,2,3, I’ve seen lots of big and little changes, but the biggest change is in my attitude. Whenever I find myself running my old “poor me” scenarios, I switch over to a manifesting movie instead. It improves my outlook and confidence immediately. In small but significant ways, I am manifesting a healthier mindset, body, relationship, and bank account! Manifesting 1,2,3 has worked like nothing else I’ve tried before. My “movies” and my life are getting better and better. I cannot begin to tell you how grateful I am to you for bringing Manifesting 1,2,3 into being. Jane What the heck?? Jane just grabbed the book an jumped right in. She was using Manifesting #1 to visualize being in her future and she was grateful for what she was experiencing. It was just that simple. She imagined that in her future she was experiencing health for the two of them and successfully selling her new creations. It this instance, everything fell into place quickly. Her partner was swept into the movie as well. I suspect that his inclination to be healthier was simply tipped over to the positive, but what a difference. An important side effect is how Jane’s attitude changed. What a priceless result. Jane is creating more than just art. She has materialized a new life with a cherry on top. Amazing! You might want to give it a try yourself…what the heck? Notes: Upcoming internet radio interviews, workshops and lectures in Denver and Georgia are posted on the website event page.
