Manifesting the Answer to “What is it I am here to do?”

Ken writes: As a writer and full-time artist, I sometimes see those worlds combine. Last weekend I was teaching art classes for three days and during some of our off-time, topics like manifesting were discussed. On the first morning of the art class, one of the participants, N, sat down with us at breakfast and told us about a very unusual thing that had just happened to her. As she was getting ready for the day, she looked in the mirror and saw that she looked much younger, like a 40-year-old. She was very surprised, as we all were! The next morning, the phenomena repeated itself as she once again saw herself in the mirror. This time she looked like a 20 something! It was absolutely stunning. We were were puzzled about the meaning of this, especially since it happened two mornings in a row. I asked her what she thought this meant. She told me that as a girl growing up, her parents were pretty strict and put a lot of pressure on her to succeed. They weren’t very supportive, thinking that pushing her to success would be the best thing for her. It left her with feelings of inadequacy and a lack of self-confidence. When she looked in the mirror and saw her younger self, the thought that came to her that she was perfect and that feeling was repeated again on the second day. Inserting a little humor into her experience, I offered that perhaps the message was delivered in a way that was, “In her face!” Maybe there was something else, another possible answer that had been nagging at me for some time. Three months earlier, I was at the grocery store at the self-check out, picking up some things including a bottle of wine. I lifted the bottle to get the attention of the clerk nearby, a young man in his 20s, and he came over to enter a checkout code validating that I was over 21. He looked at me and said, “I’m sorry, but we have to check everyone’s ID.” That’s understandable, but he said it a slightly strange way and then asked me for my driver’s license. No one has ever done that in the store before and I thought that was odd because I am obviously older than 21 with an abundance of convincing gray hair. Once I gave him my license, he held it up, even with my face and looked back-and-forth between the license and me two or three times with a puzzled look. He said, “You don’t look like your ID photo. You look much younger.” I thought he was joking, but the entire time he was very serious…how strange. With his back to me, he entered my birthday onto the screen. remarking again about how differently I looked compared to the age indicated on my license. Handing the license back and with a puzzled look, he repeated how very much younger I looked. I really didn’t understand what was going on but continued to finish my checkout. I have picked up a lot of interesting stories, but I couldn’t relate what was happening to anything I had heard before. As I was leaving, I went over to him to simply said thank you. He looked right into me, smiled and said, “Whatever it is, you’re doing, you keep doing it. OK?” I left completely confused. Coming back to our second morning when were discussing N’s puzzling experiences, I noted that everyone at our table is very kind and helpful to others. Then I relayed my strange occurrence at the grocery. All this time I hadn’t been able to understand what had happened there. What was going on with the clerk that he could only see me as a younger man? What was that all about? Now I felt the answer had presented itself. Every day I’m manifesting to do what I’m here to do, something very important to me and most of us have a strong desire to know what that might be. They often ask, “How can I know what is it I’m supposed to do and to accomplish that in this lifetime?” For many of us who make the effort to be helpful to others, perhaps this is the answer. After 2-3 months, the words of the clerk had been imprinted into my brain and now N’s story and mine combined to provide a more complete answer to our puzzling experiences. I feel it applies to many of us going along, doing those small acts of kindness. Perhaps many of us wanting to know our purpose received our answer from the clerk what is somehow influenced to see something unreal, and to repeatedly comment on what he was seeing. It may be that this nicely choreographed story, delivered at two different times, in two different ways, and to two different people, has the answer that we seek. As it was for N and I, perhaps the answer has now been delivered to you as well, all that you need, gently delivered and in your face as it was with us. Is this what you have been asking for? “Whatever it is you’re doing, you keep doing it. OK?” ________________________________ Want more? (it’s a fun ride)  Purchase the book or e-book.

My Mom’s Miraculous Story.  It Was the Prayer. 

Dream it, wish it, manifest it, pray for it. You are so worthy. In some way, just ask. Ken My mom took a bad fall in injured her knee. The pain increased over the next few days so she went to the doctor and was informed she had damaged her meniscus, a piece of cartilage in the knee that cushions, stabilizes and protects the joint and bones from wear and tear. After her appointment, the tremendous pain continued and she could only get around with a walker and a wheelchair. She was very miserable and things were not getting better. I could help her to some degree but surely I could do more. So after a few days and lacking other options, I decided to pray, to plea and ask for mercy on her part. If she couldn’t quickly heal, it would create major changes in our family because she would have to move in with my brother and his family, creating a difficult situation there. I prayed and prayed in the hope that it would make a difference. Two days later, my mother had a vivid dream where she met a man in a white robe. He moved his hand over her damaged knee and instantly, her pain went away. Noting was said – he apparently just did what he came to do. She woke up and the pain was still gone! It was like it had never happened. She could walk just fine without the walker or wheelchair. Amazingly, she went to the grocery with us the same day, walking around normally and without pain. My mother is Buddhist and in the past, she wasn’t very open to the idea that God loves her or to discussing spiritual subjects very much. Now we have more talks about these things and she has told me that on occasions, she sees her deceased husband, my father, with her eyes when she is awake, a loving and comforting experience for her each time. My sincere prayers were heard, my mother was miraculously healed and our lives have been changed in subtle and loving ways. We are so grateful! N. ________________________________ Want more?

Love, Fear, and Manifesting

This is a reprise article of great importance and definitely worth reading again… I’ll never forget the first time I came across this statement. It was in Neil Donald Walsh’s book Conversations with God I. The statement essentially explained that there are two great forces in the universe, Love and Fear. For many years I was using my thoughts alone to send simple and complicated objects to my very gifted friend Judy Goodman. I even set up a real-time experiment where I sent her a very complicated object in thought and she watched it materialize in her home 2100 miles away! THAT is how manifesting works and it was simple to to. I was using concentration and repetition to create matter from thoughts. What I didn’t realize until much later was the power of love and fear. I quickly learned how my thoughts became much more powerful with the addition of gratefulness or love. When I envisioned something and added a happy or grateful emotion, my intention was magnified somehow. When love was added it took a lot less concentration or thought on my part to create an equal or better outcome. Manifesting became much simpler because the love component magnified my intention. I learned and experienced that manifesting was often a matter of repetition. It was a bit like stacking bricks. Every time I revisited a particular thought, it was building somehow. Thoughts are the core of creation. If you keep repeating a thought, be assured that it is building what you imagine in the unseen field around you. If you add the power of love to that intention then it will create whatever you imagine more efficiently. Consider the concept of thought as a natural law, a creation machine at your fingertips. Gravity is a natural law and it doesn’t judge how you’re going to put it to use. Gravity predictably pulls things to the ground, always. Thoughts just make things, anything. Now imagine that you are worried about something. It’s only natural that worry will cause us to revisit it over and over. What do your thoughts do then? Well, they go right to work and begin to create what you envision or say. Adding repetition insures that the worry continues to build. If you want to REALLY empower this worry then add the other great power in the universe, fear. Whatever your thoughts create is done without judgement. Gravity doesn’t calculate if it is being put to a ‘good’ or ‘bad’ use before it goes into effect. Whatever you are thinking and repeating is steadily building ‘right’ or ‘wrong.’ Let’s be smart and take fear out of our daily thoughts and words. Dealing with fear is the #2 of Manifesting 123 and it can be dealt with in a simple and affirming way. Here’s a past newsletter with a method for dealing with fear in more detail: Dealing with Worries and Making Them Work for You. To be clear, your thoughts are pretty good at creating the things in your life. Add repetition to increase the potency and for the maximum effect just add love or fear. This is really simple, think it, repeat it and charge it up with happiness or worry, love or fear. Here is a bit more on the positive side. Lately I’ve noticed a big upswing on the topic of gratitude. I wholeheartedly agree with the idea of using gratitude to make things happen. Gratitude or love is a very powerful force and it magnifies the thought you are expressing. Imagine a conversation where you are saying something kind to another person. Now consider the opposite when you add fear or anger. The impact on the listener will be immediate and quickly understood. Gratitude is that force multiplier, a powerful add-on to your singular thought. The idea that gratitude makes things is becoming common wisdom in the manifesting and law of attraction circles and rightly so. Then one day last year I heard something important about gratitude from a surprising source. I was asked to contact someone who recently had a near-death experience, Nancy Rynes. She was seriously injured when a car hit her while bicycling. Her full story is not mine to tell here but she was plainly told something important about manifesting. While in the hospital, Nancy went to the other side, a dimension beyond this physical world and she was met by an impressive Spirit figure. This person dictated a book for her to write. Coming back to life with a complete book to write may be a unique experience in the near death experience literature. Of the many valuable insights that Nancy learned during her considerable time in the spirit realm bears repeating here. The Spirit figure agreed that gratitude is important for creation but made the point that we should be grateful and thankful to God. Some may be more comfortable expressing gratitude to the God of their understanding, but the thankfulness is being directed to Something or Someone. It just seems like good manners to offer gratitude in that way, don’t you think? Remarkably, Nancy is almost fully recovered and the book she was given to write will be published and available in a few weeks.  Visit Nancy’s blog Awakenings from the Light For now, start creating wonderful things.

Intentions Are So Powerful – Success!  (and the resulting wall accessories came out nicely too)

Mary is a dear friend and artist. I asked her today if she had a manifesting story to share and she surprised me with this. It’s a great example of making an intention, staying with it, and making it work. I have always admired her art, diligence and success. Here’s how… Ken Note that Mary’s image above is cropped. Click here to view the full sized image and to visit Mary’s website Mary writes: I’ve always been an artist ever since I was a kid, drawing pictures as kids do and never thought I would be anything else but an artist. Out of high school, I continued my education and got a two-year degree in commercial art. It was just right for me and I worked in the advertising field for 20 years. I began as a graphic artist, up to an art director and then became a creative director. I had my son later in life, took a little time off and continued to freelance with every intention of going back to the corporate world. Then other ideas and options began to come to mind – what kind of career would I really want and how would I like my husband and I to live. That’s where this dreamy idea started, of living in a home full of original art. I was very firm on that and it would come up from time to time. I also made the big decision of rather than going the corporate route, I would become a well-respected artist. What to do? I just jumped right into something that had a lot of interest for me, sculpting and painting wood in small and large scales. I have worked hard at this and fortunately, I have been commissioned to do even larger outdoor public works using a variety of materials including metal and glass. Making large-scale, painted wood assemblages and public works is difficult and the process can be tiring. Wanting to try another artistic medium, I attended one of Ken’s painting workshops seven years ago and made my first painting. It was a seriously large, 40 x 40 inch abstract on canvas. I was launched as a painter! Since that time, I am still painting and continue to sculpt, having completed a number of large, public sculpture projects. I have made friends with many other artists along the way and guess what? Now I have a house full of original art, two-thirds that I created and the rest from other artists. My artistic intentions from years ago have happened! That intention was always on my mind and I stayed with it, grateful that the successes continue to follow. It’s work, but it’s the career I chose and love. Looking back, I still remember the moment when I came to the realization that my entire home was filled with original art, just as I dreamed! That was a remarkable feeling to see and know that it had all come true.

I Created the View I Had Been Longing For!

Sue writes: Many years ago, I had a small bungalow in a nice Denver metro neighborhood. I lived there comfortably but it came to a point in my life where I decided I needed a big change. I wanted to be an artist and I wanted to live in the country. At the time, I had a fashion design business but that was not going to take me where I needed to go, so I sold it. That was a brave thing to do, but necessary to clear a path to my heart’s desires. That being done, I set up to paint and began my path as a full-time artist. The first painting that I did was from my tiny bungalow kitchen. It was a trompe-l’œil (a realist painting that tricks the eye.) It was a painting in a window frame of a country view, what I really wanted to see when I looked out. This would be the window view from my future house – not the side of my neighbor’s house. Now 25 years later I have a successful career as an artist. Did I tell you that artists are an observant bunch? Not always, apparently. Just last week, I had a client to my home studio in the country south of Denver. Yes, I got my country house… and my client looked at that first trompe-l’œil window painting I had hanging in the studio. Then she turned and looked out my real window and said “Oh, this painting is of your view out the window?” I looked, and what do you know, the picture that I painted 25 years ago has become my real-life view. The first painting to launch my art career did just that and the scene in the painting, the view I desired so many years ago, came to be. Together, we looked out the window and took in that beautiful scene. With that realization came a rush of gratitude for my home and a thankfulness for so much more.  Ken came by to visit a few days after and asked if I had any new manifesting stories. Matter of fact, I did! Sue View Sue Bell’s artworks here Sue’s trompe-l’œil window painting ________________________________ Want more? (it’s a fun ride)  Purchase the book or e-book.

Nice Lesson: Think It and Watch It Happen!

Last night at 5 pm I went for a relaxing walk. It was nice to be out and I was almost daydreaming, not paying a lot of attention, when a thought just came into my head. I started thinking about a little bobcat that hunts the neighborhood. She is a female and every year she has a litter of babies in my neighbor’s backyard. I had not seen her in a long time and I wondered in a general, unfocused way if she was still around.  Then I snapped back into focusing on the present and told myself that I need to put up my wildlife trail camera behind my house to see if she was still coming into the yard. I knew the bobcat usually came out in the evening, so I decided to install it when I got home from my walk.  I continued on my walk through the neighborhood, looking down at the sidewalk and thinking about where the camera might be stored and what else I would need in order to install it. For several moments I was totally lost in thought about that camera. Then I froze. There was the bobcat on the sidewalk right in front of me! I had not seen her since last year, but just moments after I started thinking about her, she was there in my path staring at me. We both stopped and looked at each other for a moment and then she ran down into a ravine. What are the chances of that happening, in that moment, when I was thinking of her?? I said to my guides and God, “OK guys I got it, ha ha, ha.”  I realized there were a lot of messages for me in that moment: I should be paying attention to what I’m thinking and putting out into the Universe, and while I’m at it, make those thoughts light-hearted instead of fear-based. I knew these things, but the whole incident was a surprising and humorous reminder for me. The lesson was that even when you don’t think your thoughts matter, they do. Does that apply to manifesting? Yes! That’s the point and the reason I wanted to pass this reminder on to all of you. Thanks!

I Was in a Fix For a Place to Live and My Manifesting Fixed It!

W. writes: I’ve had many thoughts these last few months as my life changed significantly on all fronts; mentally, physically, financially and to some degree spiritually. I read Manifesting 1,2,3 and you don’t need #3 repeatedly and each time, discovered new tidbits of wisdom and kernels of truth I previously missed. Each major milestone of this new life, which included moving after 18 years, selling my home, changing jobs due to COVID, experiencing a significant change in income and trying to figure out my next move brought anxiety. My friend Ken constantly talked me through the realities of these feelings and cemented the positive ways to wade through the experiences. As some things started to get better, other elements of this time of life seemed to be getting much worse. One of those things was figuring out my next living arrangement. After 18 years in one place, I had no direction. I was in such a state of fluidity, that I was sure I needed something temporary, economical and move-in ready without any hassles. I was open to locations but centered on Las Vegas, Atlanta, or Sacramento. I voiced this several times and asked Spirit to keep me still and keep me turned toward the light. As I learned in the book, I kept my movie rolling that I was safe and in a new home and in a place where I could work, re-energize and move my life forward. Months went by and then one day out of the blue…now we know there’s no such thing, a friend called me who lives in California and informed me that she and her husband had just bought an investment property….yes, in Las Vegas. She nonchalantly asked me if I might be interested. Little did she know that when she called me, I happened to be in Las Vegas on business. When I told her, she said, “No Way!”  She then said she was flying in later that day and could show me the property as they were closing on it in 2 weeks. She picked me up upon her arrival to Las Vegas. We drove to a beautiful, quiet gated community in North Las Vegas. I comes with a golf course and swimming pool and…wait for it….walking distance to Trader Joe’s. The price was more than right and I signed the lease for 1 year with no hassle, no first and last month…none of the usual expenses for this perfect home.When I told Ken, he said…Of course that happened, and after the cool response, we both went crazy over the good news! Yes, of course that happened and I am grateful for the journey and the continuing chapters of these new experiences, Manifesting 1, 2, 3 and beyond.  What a journey! W.   Want more?

Manifesting Protection in Advance: Then the Angels Came

Tim writes, My job is delivering fine artworks from artists, galleries and collectors. On this day my job was to pick up works from an artist in Colorado, my first stop and I woke up at 3:30 AM to get on the road.  Each day I begin with a meditation, prayer and manifesting, part of which is to ask for protection and express my gratitude for many things. As part of my meditation that morning, I internally heard, “You will see more angels today than you’ve ever seen in your life.” I immediately thought that I’m probably going to see a large angel on the road, in a city, or maybe some of the people I’m going to encounter today are going to magically be angels. Later that day, I arrived at my destination to pick up some artwork near the top of a mountain in twin Lakes Colorado. I’m going up a hill, 1 mile away and all of a sudden, my vehicle begins to slip and slide sideways and backwards. While sliding down, I had this feeling that I’m going to be OK as my vehicle drifts into the snow and stopped, I’m OK and I know that I’m not going to slide down this mountain anymore, but I am caught there, so I called my client / artist to assist me. He came over in his vehicle, backing up to mine so we could attach a rope to my van and pull me up the hill. To set this up, I’m not in the vehicle but outside and in front of mine, giving him directions to best back up his car to attach a tow rope. I guiding him closer to my van but it wasn’t just right. He tried to adjust by going forward a bit, but his vehicle slips and slides down sideways right at me! I am now in between his vehicle and my van but somehow, I was able to push his vehicle away as it was sliding down. It was if I had some supernatural strength to make that happen. I am 5’7” and 185, but no Schwarzenegger. However, I did push the sliding vehicle back uphill at bit only to see it come back at me again! Oh no! And this time it locks my leg in between both of the vehicles. Somehow, I was able to push it back a third time and caught a break. This time it slid back again but now the side of his vehicle is up against my van bumper, holding it there and away from my leg. It good that the sliding had stopped. Everything was so slippery and when we tried to walk on that surface we kept falling down hard. Both vehicles could have easily continued to slide downhill, making things much worse. Fortunately, there was no damage to either of us or to our vehicles. We called for assistance from a neighbor and he showed up with a front-loader, tank-tread kind of thing. He attached chains and pulled us up to the hill, one at a time. It took three hours but we were finally off that hill and out of danger. I finished my art handling tasks and then the neighbor kindly helped to turn my van around, attached the chains again and guided me back down the hill. What was that all about? I was told I would see more angels today than I have ever seen in my life. It took two men to physically help me and who knows what else to keep pushing the vehicle away, keep me on the hill and protecting all of us from harm. After this incident I will continue asking and manifesting good things, this was a great reminder and a proof to me. I recommend this daily practice to all of you! Tim   Want more?

Favorite Manifesting Stories from 2022

My sincere thinks to all of the readers that shared their manifesting experiences last year. It is a thrill to read them and pass them on to you. Their manifesting techniques were simple but the outcomes are large. Here are some favorites from last year and now it is your turn! Ken On the First Try, Manifesting That Man Quick! And Then… It’s all about the asking. With A’s story, the asking was done casually, a bit of fun. But once we decide on something important, our minds will touch it from time to time and occasionally, that’s all it takes to get the result. A little more practice and information is helpful at times and that’s what the book and the 400+ newsletter stories are for. Enjoy what A. has passed on to us. I Kept Saying, “I Am So Lonely,” and it Worked (with 4 story bonus!) Grace writes: I’ve been single for a long time, 30 years now. I am attractive, active and interesting but have been single for all these years. In the last twenty years I got into this habit: Every day and many times a day I would make the observation that I was lonely. Morning, afternoon and night I would say those words and feel the misery of it. I was really good at this! My life felt restricted and there was a damper on everything. Learn how Grace turned it around I Manifested a Plan and Found the Solution Immediately! M. writes: I have been a contractor for many years now and I’ve seen plenty of ups and downs. I work on my own most of the time doing landscaping jobs for individual clients. Many of those years have been a struggle and I was always looking for the key to an easier way of living and a more successful, financial outcome. I have used what I learned from Manifesting 123 and you don’t need #3 and it has been very helpful at times. I can’t say that I’ve been absolutely diligent with the manifesting but lately, it was time to refocus on the idea of making something happen. And here is M.’s success story A Tender Request, A Prayer, Then a Response P. writes: My sister D. and I were at the home of our elderly parents, helping them pack to leave their summer home.  It was a stressful time.  We love our parents dearly, but our mother can be anxious and controlling and I struggle not to be reactive.  I remembered from a workshop years ago, to ask, “Please help me have a loving heart instead of an angry heart.” P. received a remarkable response Manifesting an Improved Career and the Equivalent Surprise! Leslie writes: I make a living as a full time artist. To expand my success, I make an intention at the beginning of each year and revisit that from time-to-time. Manifesting is not new to me and I’ve used it for a variety of things, including my art career in the past. This year I decided I wanted to work larger and also start working with art consultants. Find out what happened next: I Opened the Door and Received a Reassuring Answer Juls signed up for my art class and the evening before the class began, she made the request that she would get everything she could out of the art workshop. In two days, she received a most unusual response. I hope these stories will inspire you to see yourself as worthy and endowed with the ability to create wonderful things in your life.
