A Terrible Illness, Information is Lacking and Our Only Option is Prayer

M. writes: My husband got seriously sick and ended up in the hospital. I had found him on the ground beside his truck and he couldn’t get up. He had his phone in the truck but he was too weak to reach it, and he had been laying there for a good two hours. Once in the hospital, he was in and out of consciousness and was often disoriented for the first two days. It was determined that he had some kind of infection. The doctors did all kinds of testing but couldn’t find the source of his illness. All the while I was communicating with my friends and a lot of prayers were going out. His illness was receiving a lot of attention but they couldn’t find out what was the matter with him. Then I learned that he had recently been on his job, working on a piece of equipment in a walk-in freezer. That is where they hung goats and lambs and the freezer had a lot of the animal blood on the floor. My husband and the crew had to move it around so they could work there. My husband had gone back several times to fix that freezer equipment and I started thinking, his illness must have something to do with that job. Then I remembered that one of my friends had a nephew with a goat farm in Alabama. I called my friend right away and to my everlasting thanks, she called her nephew and learned about an infection called Q fever. It is a serious bacterial infection with symptoms that can range from mild to severe and it can possibly be deadly if not treated. These bacteria naturally infect some animals, such as goats, sheep, and cows. My friend researched this further and urged me to look this up online. When I did, I saw all the symptoms that my husband had, so I printed everything out, called the doctor immediately and told them that I would be bringing this information in, but they didn’t know what the heck I was talking about, because in our area they don’t usually test for things like that. They eventually discharged my husband but he was still terribly sick. The doctors determined that if they continued to give them antibiotics, the illness would take care of itself, but it didn’t. My husband continued to be very sick and weak. After two weeks, the doctors confirmed that he did have Q Fever and Anaplasmosis. He was already on antibiotics and discharged from the hospital when three days later, we got a call from the infection control department. We were told that he needed to be put on another strong round of antibiotics and shortly after, he began to recover from his deep illness. Thank God for answered prayers, remembering something about a nephew with a goat farm, my friend that contacted him and the many doctors that used the information and skills to heal my husband. Prayers were all we had and a team was brought together to create a miraculous healing.  Thank you, M. ________________________________ At last, creation itself is explained simply and convincingly.

Happy Thanksgiving! Living in Gratefulness and Gratitude as a Tool

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

It Was Very Important For Me To Manifest a Good Result

M. has read Manifesting 1,2,3 and you don’t need #3 and she is very aware of the simple procedures in the book used to create positive outcomes for herself. In her own life and in her own way, M. has experienced much about the power of thought and prayer. Here is one of her grateful stories from this week. Ken M writes: So it was about a year ago, I was 56 and I went in to get my eyes checked. After my checkup the eye doctor basically told me I was starting to get cataracts and that I may need surgery. It kind of floored me at first, because of my negative history with anesthesia and like everyone, I just didn’t want to go under the knife again if I could avoid it. It took me a day to kind of get over the shock of having cataracts because my eyesight didn’t indicate any problems. My eyesight is really darn good, so I thought about it after a day of just, you know, being a cranky pants. We are allowed our cranky day before we get it together, that’s right, and I thought I would just start working on manifesting my clear vision without surgery or eyeglasses. So I took action, the #2 of Manifesting 1, 2, 3, and so every day, part of my manifesting routine was to say that I’m in my future and “I’m so happy and grateful that I’m seeing clearly without surgery or corrective lenses and my vision is 20 / 20.” That was it and I just kept at it. I also recognized the emotional component of getting into the happiness part of it. I played the part of being in my future, emotionally happy and grateful. This about was manifesting something very important to me so I took care to say and visualize exactly what I desired my healing to be and strived to add how I would feel emotionally. The emotions are the amplifier to the thoughts, so if you can get your emotions in there, it’s a big plus! I kept doing that every day for this last year. Yesterday afternoon I had my next eye doctor appointment and I didn’t know what was going to happen. I hadn’t noticed any vision changes, well actually, I thought my vision had improved a little bit over the course of the year, but what would the doctor say? It was good news! The eye exam did show that my vision was a bit improved even with cataracts and the cataracts had not changed at all. They were very minimal and hadn’t grown since the last time she saw me, even though cataracts typically get progressively worse. No surgery is on the horizon for me…yay! I’m still manifesting to clear them out, but I would also be happy if they just stayed where they are, along with my present good vision. As for now, I am delighted and grateful. Now my distant vision has gotten better so I can drive without glasses, which is awesome. And for me as an artist, that’s like winning a lottery if you don’t have to go in for eye surgery. Heck, I did win the lottery! M. ________________________________ At last, creation itself is explained simply and convincingly. This is the book that changes everything!

Manifesting the Really Big Deals – Multiple Choices (reprise story)

Last week a good friend called, wanting to come by and talk a bit. We met about five years ago and immediately hit it off. He wanted to talk about what has been happening with him lately and dropped a hint that manifesting would be involved.He brought over a nice bottle of wine and we settled in. When we first met years ago, I discussed manifesting but not in a form as concise as Manifesting 123. After that first meeting years ago, he told me he had a surprising result after using his thoughts to make change. Manifesting the Really Big Deals – Multiple Choices (reprise story) Last week a good friend called, wanting to come by and talk a bit. We met about five years ago and immediately hit it off. He wanted to talk about what has been happening with him lately and dropped a hint that manifesting would be involved.He brought over a nice bottle of wine and we settled in. When we first met years ago, I discussed manifesting but not in a form as concise as Manifesting 123. After that first meeting years ago, he told me he had a surprising result after using his thoughts to make change. A month ago, he read Manifesting 123, and decided to give it a try. Much has transpired since then. Richard is a business man and has been involved with fortune 500 companies at a very high level. He has valuable skills that generate millions of additional dollars to those companies that hire him. He also has a few very close friends and trusted business associates he stays in constant touch with. They are very talented individuals with specialties that compliment and overlap. Richard is at the point where he would rather do something on his own rather than work for a large corporation. That’s easy to say, but it takes a great idea, capital and a team to make it happen. Back to the Manifesting book, he told me he is a black and white, analytical kind of guy. The idea of using your thoughts to create outcomes is just out of the box. However, when Richard used the ideas in the book, he got results. Not just one, but a few and they appeared to indicate a cause and result. He was using the ideas in the book everyday. Richard would imagine these perfect scenarios in his future and express gratefulness in each one. Day after day he imagined and polished these ideas and yes, the results were starting to show. In the winter last year he was vacationing with his family at a rented resort home in the mountains, happy and relaxed. His wife and daughter had left the house and he was along doing his manifesting Movie. In his Movie he was imagining being in his future with all that he desired. He had to laugh. He imagined a second home in the mountains… he was in one! He didn’t need to OWN a second home, he could just rent this one. He stopped the process and followed an urge to go into his daughter’s room. He picked up her sweatshirt that had a lot of writing on the front. The last line said, “Rinse, Wash and Repeat.” OK, so what was he doing pickup up things in her room? He never does that. With a shrug he went back to the living room and began reading Manifesting 123 again. Suddenly it was there in the book, “Rinse, Wash and Repeat.” He felt a reaction form deep inside himself. He couldn’t miss it and when it travelled up his body, he began to cry. When he came over and retold this other night, it happened again and it was unmistakable. Richard had a confirmation. Most of us have felt that moment that touches us at our core but it is rare and usually meaningful. What was going on? He had been observing the unfolding of very important events in the last few weeks. Seeing the phrase again in the book was perhaps a positive signal of some kind, an encouragement. He continued his manifesting routine each day and observed how one of his biggest aspirations was beginning to form up, the opportunity for his own business. In all there were four business plans that emerged. All were different but well-formed, solid ideas that had national reach. Each came in from one of those trusted associates. He was watching potential dreams emerge. These are complex deals, yet all the talent and funding is in place for each one. It took hours to talk through them all, how they came in and the amazing coincidences that birthed them. There won’t be any business secrets revealed here, only that he had never seen such a fertile time. Did he do this? It is quite possible and Richard is not letting up now. He is carefully exploring each possibility and continuing to take a little time to manifest each day. Manifesting can be very black and white, very cause and effect. At the least, perhaps Richard has discovered a simple tool he can use to his advantage. And here is a Very Interesting part: As so many others have discovered, he woke up one day with a new calm around him. Things pull on him less and he feels more confident and happy. It’s a common side-effect of manifesting each day and a very nice one! So two guys sit down to talk about business… It was very inside business, getting that edge with Manifesting 123. What a great night that was. Not the usual guy-talk, eh? It was exciting to hear about those business possibilities and how Richard is ‘directing’ his manifesting Movie. At times I would remember some of the stories from readers where difficulties were cleared away and opportunities smoothly presented. In all these stories, a good outcome was being manifested and the size or impossibility didn’t matter, what seemed to be a miracle

Think We Could Manifest THAT?

Leslie is a successful, hard-working artist and friend. It’s good to see her and her husband doing something really special for themselves. Could they ask for more? Ken On vacation in Switzerland, Ron and I took the train from Bern to Zermatt. When we walked to the hotel, it was a cold rain cold rain but Inside was a warm, sweet little lobby with sheepskin blankets on chairs and a comfy room with bookshelves. We waited for the people from Arkansas and another couple from Ireland to check in and drop their bags since it’s 11am and too early for rooms to be ready. They challenged the woman at the desk when she asked for passports and a credit card to hold for possible damages. She was polite. As they finished, I stepped to the counter. Ok, I gotta back this up just a sec to yesterday when I booked this room. (Yes we’re poor planners and I just booked the last two legs of our journey during our siesta at the hotel in Bern yesterday. ) As I was booking this room, a thought came to me. “Wouldn’t it be nice if because I’m booking at the last minute, if we get lucky and they give us a room upgrade?” That’s silly, I know. Back to the patient woman at the desk. Turns out she is from Bulgaria and her name is Asia (like Oss-ee-ah) and she misses her family back home. I greeted her warmly and commented how warm and beautiful the lobby is. I asked if it would be ok to leave our bags, if not too much trouble for her. She seemed delighted and set us up. We gave her our passports and credit card for check-in. By this time, the other people had left. As we set the bags down, she said “Oh, and good news! We have a room upgrade for you!” My eyes welled slightly as I smiled and thanked her profusely. For the next couple days, we enjoyed the feeling of our “upgrade” status and treated ourselves in small ways: like swimming in the heated pool at the hotel and exploring the spa…things I never do. I even made time to just lounge in a bathrobe after sitting in the sauna. These things seem like luxuries to me, because I rarely take time to pamper myself. I’m a worker bee. Asia’s kind gesture has been well received a with much gratitude. And even though the rainy weather continued the next day, we got to see at least most of the Matterhorn. After hiking to see it in the cold wind, we were happy to return to our comfy hotel room and enjoy dinner takeout while we watched the clouds over the Matterhorn from our covered balcony (this view was part of the “deluxe” package, of course!)

Positive Outcomes from Forgiving and Receiving

Here are two good stories where possible, multi-layered causes and effects are at work. At the least, it is a loving, charitable gesture and a clearing of sorts in action. Everyone involved received gifts and nothing was really lost. You can probably think of other things at work here…I hope you enjoy this one. Ken An artist, Charles writes: I really like how this turned out. It came from two separate things I did but the result was essentially the same. Each event was about money, it’s real value and forgiveness. The first instance was a painting I sold years ago and allowed my friend to pay it out on time. Paying it back wasn’t easy for her to do and after many years of her chipping away at it, there was a $300 balance. It was a painting I was really proud of, a water scene and I was happy she wanted it for her home. I recently contacted her and told her to forget the balance… she had been in a difficult year. Well, her happiness became mine and all was settled. The next day I was surprised to get an email from my out of state gallery notifying me that the pastel study for that very oil they had in inventory for years had just sold and a check was coming my way for $1300. That covered the just-forgiven balance of the oil and $1000 on top! And then there was another, a few-thousand-dollar loan to a long-married couple that had health and financial difficulties over the last few years. One of the special partners unfortunately died and the widower was left with even less income and no prospects for more. Even though an effort was made to pay the balance back, it just wasn’t going to be possible. The best thing to do was to let the loan go gratefully and relieve the burden. That was that until it wasn’t. What came next was a series of painting sales like I had never seen before and it was far more income than the amount borrowed by the couple. It was if a gate had been opened.  Worries were eliminated and the accelerated painting sales are continuing. I am very grateful!

Need Something Done? Manifest with Big Bird!

From Dr Tamurah’s newsletter relaying a clients story, with their permissions: As a professional addictions counselor, Linda interacts with many, many people, often in seemingly hopeless situations. She recalls one client who had really turned his life around and was ready to start a new job. He had a car and the job, but he had no driver’s license. The frustrating part was that he could get the driver’s license if he only had $125! As a professional counselor, Linda is of course prohibited from financially assisting her clients.  Repeatedly, she tried contacting various volunteer and charitable organizations. Her client was from a small town and had an infamous reputation, so as soon as they heard his name usually the phone would click off. Linda had run out of options for her client. So the morning before a long drive to meet with him, she said a prayer, asking for a Sign. Her request was for a Big Sign which would indicate that she herself should help him. She asked for a BIG BIRD to manifest in a most unusual way, something that she could not miss. If she saw the bird, she would go out on a limb and help the client herself; she did not wish to see him fail. She drove very slowly that morning, watching for unusual bird activity. Nothing. She even sat in her car in the parking lot to her office, still asking and hoping. Nothing. She decided it was not meant to be and went into her office and started working. After a short time, colleagues from the room next to her began calling to her, “Linda, you should see this. It’s really big!”  What? She kept working, ignoring them. Again, “Really Linda, you should come look at this. It is so big!”  Third time, “Linda—Come on!  It’s huge!” This was enough to get her away from her desk and into the other room. What did she see? An enormous White Owl was seated on the window sill looking into the room!  Now, this was midday in Texas during the summer heat where temperatures rarely go below 100 degrees. Such huge White Owls are nearly seen during daylight hours, especially during extreme heat.  As soon as Linda entered the room, the Owl turned its head as though gazing directly at her, then slowly flew away… Well, that was the sign she had been waiting for! Linda anonymously sent the client $125 cash with a typed letter stating: ‘This is a Gift from Spirit…’ The next time the client came in, he said,  “I got a letter from God!!”  He did use the money for a Driver’s License, did start the job and continues doing well. Spirit / God /Consciousness does work in mysterious ways! …And is always listening… Just ask! Manifest it!  …and it’s perfectly OK to start right now.  Ken   Photo credit: Left: Ignatian Spirituality and Manifesting 123 on Pinterest ________________________________ At last, creation itself is explained simply and convincingly.

I Got a Glimpse That Manifesting Works, Then I Nailed It! (reprise)

This is a favorite story about money and fear…. and manifesting! Ken Alicia writes: Shortly after my husband died, I took out a personal loan with my bank to pay for some badly needed repairs on the house. The amount of the loan was $15,000. About that time I saw the movie The Secret, which was a totally new concept to me. Later a webinar on a similar topic came to my attention and I listened to several talks. One in particular caught my attention. The speaker was a woman who had written a book on how to manifest money really quickly. I decided to give her method a try so I could pay off my loan. I did the writing exercises as directed, specifying how much money I wanted and exactly what I would use it for. I practiced it daily for some time and then kind of forgot about it when nothing seemed to happen. I continued paying off my loan with monthly payments, as much as I could afford each month. Then I noticed something funny about my loan statement when I looked at it online. There were 2 payments totaling almost exactly $15,000 that I could not account for. I certainly didn’t make those payments. How could that happen? The bank could not track down the source of the $15,000. She sent me to another branch office where I had taken out the loan and I talked to the banker who originally had processed the loan for me. She could not explain the 2 mysterious payments either. So she called a third banker at the national headquarters in their loan department and got no explanation. So three bankers could not find the source of the $15,000 and they all said they had never seen anything like it before. The last banker said if they could not trace the payments, the money would be mine within a specified amount time (which I don’t recall now). Well, they must have found the error, because the money disappeared from my loan account. Ouch! I continued to make payments and about that time, I came across Manifesting 123. I began to think that maybe I had been too detailed and worrisome, so instead of visualizing the amount of $15,000, I began instead to imagine how I would feel when the loan was paid off, since that was what I really wanted. I was comforted by the fact that $15,000 did magically appear earlier so it diminished my worry and fear. I began to use the really easy techniques in Manifesting 123, particularly the #2 regarding worry and fear. There was another helpful thing I picked up in the book, I asked that all these things in my future come with an Ease and a Grace. It was a great comfort and helped to lessen the ‘unknowns.’ Within a few weeks I received a call from a neighbor who wanted to know if I would like to sell my husband’s truck. Long story short, I did sell the truck and the amount we agreed on was $15,000! Everything worked out perfectly. It seems that one way or another, when I manifested what I desired it happened – twice! I love the idea of using less detail unless it is absolutely necessary and being in the future with my successful result. Oh yes, I didn’t forget my gratitude every day! Manifesting 123 really works!

It Bears Repeating… Add the NOW to Your Manifesting Practice

Earlier in May of this year, 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 sales.  That May newsletter follows below so you can get all of the details on how to apply this idea. Now I want to bring you up to date on what happened in the last two weeks, a personal experience of the artist/author Nancy Rynes and myself. I had an internet radio interview with Richard Dugan coming up and my thought was to try using the Now idea to create a fast sale of one of my paintings and if the sale came through, I would discuss it during the interview. I wanted the experiment to have a very short window to better illustrate that thoughts can act quickly with the Now idea. So two days prior to the interview I repeated this simple thought, “A painting is selling NOW.” That was it. The morning of the interview with Richard arrived and there wasn’t any word of a sale, so I didn’t bring it up…heck.  Ditto for the evening as well. The next morning, I had plenty to do and jumped right in. The day was going by quickly when I was interrupted by my gallery in Santa Fe, Dominique Boisjoli Fine Art. Dominique was calling to tell me about a very large sale to an out of town couple that was new to the gallery and was seeing my work for the first time. They quickly decided to make the purchase, left the gallery and I got the happy call. Ken’s art website That was a 36-hour result and yes, I was surprised and very grateful! And there is more… Nancy Rynes was passing through and during her time visiting and painting here, we discussed manifesting and my last sale. She is a manifesting expert, but for whatever reason, she didn’t have a daily regimen that addressed her art sales. Right on the spot, she declared the addition had been made – she is “now manifesting more art sales.” Under the heading of what took so long, she let me know early the next day that she had just sold an oil she posted on Facebook. That was exciting but the day wasn’t over yet…. Later that afternoon she was contacted by a new collector and they agreed upon a good-sized commission! Laughs and gratitude followed! Those are very fast manifesting results or remarkable coincidences. Either way, a needle was threaded inside those very tight time frames. Here’s an example of one of Nancy’s large oils, “My Eyes Turned Skyward.”  32 x 65 inches             Now the follow up – the complete information from the earlier May newsletter repeated 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 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
