It Bears Repeating… Add The NOW To Your Manifesting Practice
In May and August of 2024 of I went over how some of my fellow artists were discussing manifesting and how we could use the idea of the NOW to eliminate the annoying gaps that are common between art sale That May 2024 newsletter follows below so you can get all of the details on how to apply this idea. I want to point out how in the last 2 years, these successes have continued. Art sales do happen on a somewhat regular basis as they should, but it seems the NOW idea is providing some kind of edge. It appears the time span between the thought and result (if it happens) is from 0-6 days. It has been working with more artists and of course, it can be applied to many other uses. By the way, I tested it out a bit further by saying that 2 and 3 paintings are selling now and got a positive result both times. That was a nice surprise. Please let me know how it works for you and don’t forget to do the 7 grateful things in the morning and evening and of course, run your manifesting list once each day. Here are the Manifesting 1,2,3 instructions from the newsletter. https://manifesting123.com/creation-your-movie-your-future-and-gratitude/ Now the follow up. Here is the complete information from the May 2024 newsletter below. Important. Add the NOW to Your Manifesting Practice I have a lot of fellow artist friends and some of them steadily manifest things in their lives. Earlier in the year, I was talking with one of them about getting more sales and at the least, steady sales without the big gaps between purchases. We discussed how our thoughts create form and outcomes and all of the ideas in the book, when the topic of timing came into the conversation. That is, when do our thoughts typically make this happen and what would be the best approach? The timing is all over the place, by the way, but read on for an idea with positive outcomes regarding our thoughts and timing. That discussion took me back years before to a conversation with William Buhlman. He is the premier out-of-body author and the first person that described to me how he saw our thoughts take form in the non-physical realms. He observed that in his out-of-body travels, there is no time as we perceive it, that everything is in the NOW. The past, present and future is all now. This is commonly known and agreed upon by many others, including Judy Goodman who is much quoted in the book, all familiar visitors to the non-physical dimensions. I can’t wrap my head around it, since our physical experience is limited to three dimensions plus time, but to our non-physical consciousness, this is the norm. Moving forward, here are the basic manifesting instructions in the book: One imagines themselves in a future of their own making where the things they desire have already happened, and then they express their gratitude for that result. Your repetitive thoughts will begin to create that very outcome in the non-physical realm, which is also the place of NOW.Hmmm…. Understanding this now concept could advantage our potential for manifesting, so with that realization, we put a little something else into our plan for more and consistent art sales. First, we continued our manifesting regimen where each day we visualized a future where those sales and our artistic success had been achieved. Now for the new part. We allowed that when we happened to think about a painting sale, we would say to ourselves, “A painting just sold,” or “A painting is about to sell.” This is not an everyday regimen, as we allow it to come up organically and without pressure. It has a slight sense of casual mastery to it…”Oh yes, and a painting just sold today,” a simple observation. For myself, it felt like a small, psychic knowing or hunch on a few occasions but most of the time my mind would just stray to that idea and I would make the “sold or about to sell statement,’ in an almost unconcerned way. Much like picking up a common tool like a pencil to use, “Oh yes, I’ll get a pencil for that and it will work every time,” kind of light effort. So what happened? Sales happened and successfully most of the time. We would think to make the statement and we might think to repeat it 2-3 times in the course of a week, not bearing down on it, and a sale in progress would reveal itself or a final transaction would soon occur. This has been going on since late February of this year and it has been remarkable to observe. Have I personally had successes with this? Yes, many times since I added this idea to my own manifesting practice and it is coming hot out of the oven for you. I hope to hear about your successes with this additional approach very soon!

It’s Easy. Reward Yourself With These Two Add-0ns
This is Easy. Reward Yourself With These Two Add-0ns I was talking with Judy Goodman recently. If you’ve read Manifesting 1,2,3 and You Don’t Need #3, you know she’s at the very core of the book. Her ability to see our thoughts beginning to take form in the nearby spirit realm was the proof for manifestation as a literal tool. The out of body author, William Buhlman, also explained to me his experiences of seeing his manifesting list taking form during his time in the non-physical realms. In both cases, our thoughts were beginning to take shape in the non-physical realm and if we stayed with it, our thoughts would materialize in our physical lives. She told me she’d recently recommended something important to a group she’s working with, and with her permission, I’m passing it on to you here. But first, a quick reminder of something I shared years ago, straight from Judy.”Every morning, before your feet hit the ground, say seven grateful things.” She also suggests going back over that list again at bedtime. Now, back to our conversation. Judy shared something new with her group, a technique that works in the short term, today especially, but keeps paying off well beyond that. The first and most important step, she said, is to simply declare to yourself that you are doing well and all is fine. That’s it. But don’t underestimate it. That one declaration works on multiple levels at once. It shapes your attitude for the day, it sets your expectations, and it changes what you’re likely to notice and encounter as the day unfolds. List the changes you want to see in your life, now and moving forward. From there, keep going. Say ‘out loud’ three things you will do to make it a better day. If your statements are trivial, your results will be too.” Here’s the part I hope you will pick up on: these aren’t just good affirmations, your thoughts and words are actively manifesting and creating. They are commands, and manifesting literally creates form from these instructions. Want more tools like this? The book covers exactly how your thoughts function as commands, and how to use them to shape your Now and your Future. More techniques for your success are waiting in this past newsletter post.Ken ________________________________ Want more?

Favorite Stories from the First Half of 2026
First of all, thank you for the manifesting stories you’ve been sending in this year. Reading them has been a real pleasure, and recapping the best of them with you feels like the perfect way to celebrate what we’ve built together. Every story you share is proof of the same simple truth: your thoughts, “good” or “bad,” are always creating. There’s no pause button, no exception. So the real work is not complicated. It’s just watching what you think, catching yourself, and steering those thoughts toward what you actually want. It’s all in Manifesting 1,2,3 and you don’t need #3. That’s the invitation behind everything you’ll read below. Keep sending your stories. Keep watching your thoughts and make them work for you.Ken I Almost Missed Out! Don’t Put Off Manifesting!I think it was like a month ago, I was thinking of attending a photographic workshop / retreat up in Cody, Wyoming, and it would cost $5,000 to attend. The down payment was $1000, which I had, but it was the other $4000 that was really concerning me.She made it happen in an unusual way. Find out here. After my husband passed away, the time came when I realized I needed to move. I hadn’t been long after my decision when a realtor friend of mine called and said, “I’m showing these houses in Lone Tree and perhaps you would like to take a look?”Go ahead, manifesting the house! See how she did it. Years ago, I injured myself twice. For years following, pain would be an off again/on again body state for me. Twelve years ago, I had an MRI, PT, and injections that worked for a while but then the pain gradually increased to an exponential level. For the past 3 or 4 years I couldn’t walk around the block, sit or stand too long and my sleep was compromised, waking up in pain. It was recommended physical therapy exercises, which I did.Then, after asking for help, it came in an unusual way. Find out how. ________________________________ Want more?

Manifesting the Lambs
I had a few lambs I adored, but at the time I didn’t have an ideal place to keep them. They needed more room and a proper shelter, a barn or sheep shed where they could be protected from the weather. So I started manifesting the right solution: a safe place for the lambs, and maybe a little more land too. I felt certain it would come together. I spent some time looking at nearby property, but the right answer hadn’t shown up yet.Then a deep freeze moved in, and I went out with my son to check on the sheep. When we got there, they weren’t where they were supposed to be. They had wandered onto the other side of the fence, onto my friend’s property. They were only lambs, and I was suddenly panicked. I called my friend and explained what had happened, and she immediately said, “Bring them here.” My son and I loaded up the sheep and took them to her farm, and just like that, they were safe. Looking back, what I had been asking for was a warm, secure place for them to stay, and my friend opened her barn to us. It still feels a little surprising how it all unfolded. The lambs were taken care of right away, and not long after, my friend realized I wasn’t likely to find more land soon, so she offered me a good arrangement to board sheep on her property. Before long, we were in business together, raising and selling sheep. It reminded me of something I had read in Manifesting 123 and you don’t need #3: sometimes you get the ‘equivalent’ of what you desire. This accurately describes what happened for me… and those sweet lambs.Juls See what we are doing: Wool. Bread. Story. Art. Music.Thistle and Stone Farm, LLC________________________________Want more?

For Manifesting, Keep It Simple… Regardless
For many years, I have followed law of attraction & manifesting gurus and read all of the materials with inconsistent results. In my opinion and based on my experience, they seemed to be lacking something. It felt that I wasn’t getting all the pieces to the puzzle and a key ingredient was missing. My world changed when I met Ken and he taught me a different (and simple) way to manifest wonderful things and events into my life. My business has picked up, but not enough to allow me to make the outright purchase of a new laptop that I desperately needed. A couple weeks ago I put a new laptop computer into my manifesting movie, following Ken’s approach. Yesterday morning I received an out of the blue call from a very dear friend who knew nothing about what I had in my manifesting movie. He told me that he knew that I needed a laptop computer for work and he had already called his credit card company and he could use his points to purchase the computer I needed. He told me that he woke up “And got the idea and that his points were just sitting there accumulating so why not use them?” My friend also said that I could pay back the price of the computer over time with terms that work for me, making this perfectly manageable In a few hours, we were meeting at the computer store and I walked away with exactly the new computer I had been secretly manifesting. It’s wonderful to see how the Universe will respond to our request when put our intentions out there. It’s more amazing than I could have ever dreamed up!Catherine Joyce ________________________________ Want more? (it’s a fun ride) Purchase the book or e-book.Want to share books with friends?

I Persisted and My Miracle Found Me
R. writes:Well over 30 years ago I injured myself bending forward in a Yoga Tree Pose. I felt a tearing sensation in the area of my left buttocks where my muscles attach. I was in my 30’s and in good shape, so I didn’t go to a doctor, thinking the strained muscles would heal in time. But that was not the case and to make it worse, I re-injured the same area in two car accidents. Once as a passenger, rear-ended as I was twisted back in the seat to see who was honking at us, and a second accident, when a SUV made a left turn in front of me and I crashed into it. For years following, pain would be an off again/on again body state for me. Twelve years ago, I had an MRI, PT, and injections that worked for a while but then the pain gradually increased to an exponential level. For the past 3 or 4 years I couldn’t walk around the block, sit or stand too long and my sleep was compromised, waking up in pain. More doctor visits followed with x-rays that didn’t bring me any closer to a cure, but it was recommended that I do physical therapy exercises daily, which I did. I was earnestly looking for help, seeing doctors, being tested and following the best medical instructions. Additionally, I had acupuncture and chiropractic sessions in an attempt to stop or at least minimize the pain, with little effect. I took ibuprofen for needed relief or to sleep, and I prayed. I was doing everything I could think of. Sometimes I would just push through the pain and would then pay a price for days. I had been doing all I could do physically, and it had all helped to some extent, but the pain persisted. Two months ago, the solution came to me, gently, through a friend of mine who is a healer, medium, Reiki Master / Teacher and a past life regressionist. She suggested that the injury and pain may be what is called a carry-over from a past life, and would I consider doing a regression? My answer to the past life regression question was a resounding, “Yes.” I wanted to heal. An appointment was made, and in the session I experienced an hour of divine intervention, experiencing two past lives with both being related to the ongoing pain in my left hip and leg. As I came out of the regression trance state, I felt immediate pain relief. It was miraculous. My friend said, “If you find yourself experiencing pain again, RE-Mind yourself that the pain is in and of the past. Let go/drop the pain-body memory of those past lives.” It has been a months since that session and this month I went with friends to Sedona. I was able to hike 3 to 6 hours every day for 4 days, with one additional day when I took time for rest and ice cream. (Smile) Today, I am virtually pain free as I walk and hike daily and feeling better than I’ve felt in 30+ years. If I experience a “twinge,” then I RE-MIND myself, “Not This lifetime.” Also, I remember that when I began to put out the efforts to make the doctor and alternative medical appointments, follow their recommendations, and praying for help, the cure did follow, but not in a way I would have ever expected. I did the work and my miracle found me. ________________________________ Want more? (it’s a fun ride) Purchase the book or e-book.Want to share books with friends?

Manifest The Shortcut At Work (reprise)
Leephether writes:I had a wonderful manifestation that I thought I’d share with you all. This has been a tremendously stressful time at work. With the Holidays we have plenty of work to do, if not more and all of us on staff take more time off, increasing the load. Fortunately I asked and got approval to get someone to work 10 hours a week to help out. What a response! I got 53 applicants in just four days. I haven’t been able to look at the resumes at all because I’ve been so busy. This afternoon I had a moment to review them, and asked my supervisor if she wanted to look at them also. She flat out said she didn’t want any part of it. I sat and picked up that big ole stack and said to another helper that I didn’t really want to look at them either. I just wanted someone to show up ready to work, shortcutting this application process. Less than 3 minutes later, a young man walked in and asked about the position that we had. I looked at his resume and he had the very skills we could use in our department! He also speaks Spanish and can help me learn more, so that sweetened the deal for me. I had to go get my supervisor since she had to be part of this hasty decision, and LOL, we hired him on the spot. So without going through all of those resumes, we had the perfect someone show up when we needed him. He was tickled to know that he had a job starting the first of the year, so everyone was very happy. I love just seeing someone in my mind’s eye and then they show up – they do! Ken, you and I do that anyway, but this has increased. It is so much more instantaneous and remarkable since learning with you the past couple of years and attending your workshop last June. I wanted to share this just in time success with you all.LeephetherIf it affects you, then you have the power to change it. Manifesting is not always about what you desire at home. If there is something you require or need changed in the field around you, then take charge. Manifest the perfect solution. You may not be able to change those personalities around you, but there are hundreds of ways to reduce the problem and the stress. Sometimes it’s as simple as an improvement in your own perception, a staff shuffle or change of your job task. Regardless, you have tremendous influence so put Manifesting 123 to work for you. It is not necessary to provide every detail and micromanage your solution. Simply visualize a future were the problem is solved or your requirement is met, then go back to your day to day schedule. A solution is being formed that will cut through the calculus and arrive as quickly as possible. In this case, the entire office benefited, particularly the new hire. I wonder if the hire was asking for something on the quick as well? Place your bets!Ken ________________________________ Want more?

Regardless, Your Thoughts are Manifesting
No one here escapes pain or death, that much we know and the deeper reasons for this have been pondered for centuries. Those who have journeyed beyond tell me that we each arrive here according to an agreement of our own making. Let’s call it the plan. My dear friend Judy Goodman often mentions this. Through her remarkable daily experiences living between the physical and non-physical realms, she has seen firsthand that yes, there is a plan and it is one we help design before we enter this life. The opposite view would be that life is random or purely survival of the fittest. But either way, whether living in a world with plans or existing in one of chaos, one truth remains constant: our thoughts create and especially those that we repeat and combine with emotion. They shape our experiences, bringing forth both form and non-physical concepts like happiness, calm, and balance. So, if you find yourself navigating both joy and difficulty on this beautiful planet full of people and their imperfections, it may be that you are moving along the path you chose. Whether your life feels orderly, chaotic, or somewhere in between, your thoughts remain a creative force. It’s part of the gift we all receive at birth: the ability to bring about change through what we think and focus on, and that includes the so-called good and bad things. Don’t simply accept your present condition or the supposed “ways of the world.” The skylines that define our cities, the miracles and coincidences we witness, the wishes that come true all began as thoughts. Thousands joined together or sometimes just one. Remember, there’s no difference between a big miracle and a small one and you can make them happen. Point yourself to happiness,Ken ________________________________ Want more? (it’s a fun ride) Purchase the book or e-book.Want to share books with friends?

A Question: How Can We Manifest No More War?
Trish asked this question today, “How to do a manifesting for NO WAR.” Here are my thoughts on that, and I don’t have a certainty on this, but I replied in this way: Let’s say you don’t like the White House being white, so you approach the White House with a bucket of pink paint with the intention of changing that color. What you will immediately find is that you are up against years of previous and present intentions by other people that far outnumber your singular thought of painting it pink. There are consensual laws forbidding that and physical guards that will quickly stop your approach. It will take a mass intention by more than just you to make that happen. Regarding the idea of peace, I would offer that intentions for peace are abundant and constantly engaged on the planet now, resulting in a good portion of the world at peace presently. In opposition to a peaceful intention are countries and regimes that find reasons to invade or defend themselves, creating a different intention of entering into a war. Often those decisions are made by small groups or individuals that have the power to activate existing armies at their command. Since the decision makers are a small group, there is an opportunity for a larger group of people with peaceful intentions to amass a more powerful and united intention, deterring that compact group of people in leadership positions. To maintain peaceful goals in our country we get to vote and protest. In a dictatorship, people can strive for peace with limited political persuasion or protest, but at personal risk. My daily prayer, my intention, is for those in leadership positions that are not of love will be diminished or removed from those positions and replaced by leaders of a loving nature. It is up to us everywhere to manifest peace and practice it. Together in this way we are creating a large and powerful, global intention that will expand peace everywhere.Ken_____________________________ Want more?
