Got a Problem? Manifest a Spotless Solution!
Leah writes: Here’s a little manifesting story. My husband and I are both equally bad window washers. We spend a lot of time and effort to do a good job but when we are done the sun shines thru and the windows look no better. Our home has ceiling to floor windows and they are very noticeably grubby, but I know what to do. After attending your Manifesting 123 workshop, I have learned from experience that I can effect change with things large or small. I used the Manifesting 123 program and included shiny beautiful windows in my perfect future movie. I could clearly see through them and I felt so happy. Whatever house I may live in, I visualized that I always had clear, wonderful windows. About a month later our doorbell rang. We live on a cul-de-sac street and rarely have anyone come to our home. My husband answered it and I could hear a discussion with some young voices. He came to me and said 2 high school boys wanted to wash our windows and he hired them immediately. It was just amazing! Their price was reasonable, they started right away and the windows are spotless. I am so grateful!!! They did a better job than we ever did. My husband also had them cut down some limbs from big trees. He usually does this himself using a tall ladder to climb into the tree. He just turned 80 and I am especially grateful that he will not be doing this now. Manifesting works!

My Husband is Not Going to Viet Nam
A. writes: I remember that you make a point of encouraging people to ask for things, not to hold back and that we are all worthy. You told me that you put all kinds of stories in your newsletter that encourage people to ask, pray or purposely manifest a result. This is certainly one of those stories. It was during the Viet Nam war and my husband got some serious news, he was being drafted into the Army. Hundreds of things go through your mind, most of them unpleasant and worrisome. At the core of it, if he went to Viet Nam we would be separated for a very long time and he would likely be in danger there. When tough things like this come up many of us begin asking for help. I was praying with a real purpose and something more. I was specifically asking that he would not be sent to Viet Nam and would be posted to Germany where I could be with him. I had a plan and stayed with it. I was determined that we would both live comfortably in Germany during his military service. Here’s how it played out. He was sworn into the Army, had his basic training and next he was standing in a line waiting to see where his orders would send him. As he moved up, the men in front of him were being assigned to Viet Nam. The line continued to move and the person in front of him received his orders: Viet Nam, the common destination for new draftees at the time. My husband was next, they gave him his paperwork and said, “You’re going to Germany.” Can you imagine the relief he felt at that moment? When he left the line and turned back, the person behind him was ordered to report to Viet Nam. I was ecstatic when he told me the news! There was a problem though. I would not be able to go since we were told that housing for me was definitely unavailable. I gave it some thought and took action in two ways. I said a prayer that it would all be taken care of and bought a ticket to Germany anyway so I could be with my husband. This was not something I was supposed to do and I was out on a limb going overseas to a strange country where the the financial risk to us would be big. I got to Germany without a place to stay and no plan B but miraculously, a place for me was suddenly available. It is very likely that if I was not in Germany this opportunity would have passed me by. All worked out nicely there, thank goodness. Once I heard about Manifesting 123 and after our conversation the other day, I will continue asking in prayer and I will certainly be using those manifesting techniques as well. I have big plans and there will be a new residence in some interesting, far away place ahead! A. This is a story from long ago with the classic “Planting the Flag” Idea. We can all ask and manifest in numerous ways. I like praying and manifesting. It’s like what the old-school Louisiana man said, “I’m a belt and suspenders guy.” This writer and her husband received a fabulous result and it makes me think that perhaps there is more at work here. When she bought the ticket to Germany a powerful intention was made. I call it Planting the Flag. She didn’t wait for something to unfold. She put some real equity into the idea of living there by buying a ticket and being prepared to physically find a solution once she arrived. When you are planting the flag, you are putting an idea and intention into the future that has more strength. This idea can be as simple as saying that if it’s necessary to go back to school and get more training for that good job, or to buy that advertising to grow the business, then they will, should it come to that. This is a powerful intention, a promise of more effort in order to create a result. Should you come to one of those decision crossroads, ask away and work on manifesting the perfect solution. Don’t forget to also express your gratitude in advance. Then go one step further by planting a “flag” in the future where you declare that if it becomes necessary, you will definitely sacrifice some time or money, etc. to make it happen. It’s amazing how many times planting the flag brings about the solution without resorting to the additional effort! I wonder what new adventure A. is planning next?

Manifesting and those Amazing Side Effects
One of the great purposes of manifesting is to improve our lives in a variety of ways. This newsletter / story archive abundantly proves that people are getting results when they ask, pray or purposely manifest toward a goal. Then there is that extra something that happens… The simple techniques in Manifesting 123 are two-fold. First, you gain an understanding of how your thoughts immediately begin to create from in the non-physical realm all around you. It is very important to know that what you are thinking is having a direct effect and that you can control the outcome. It is real. Second, you learn that your thoughts can actually create a future of your choosing – powerful knowledge with unlimited possibilities. These two statements open all the doors. You have the capability of improving or creating the life you desire now, Many readers do… and more. In conversations recently, I was reminded of some surprising outcomes from people that were consistently manifesting. As the book recommends, they manifested using the idea of a movie with various scenes in their future. In this future, every desire has already been fulfilled and they are very grateful. All is well and at the end of the day they go to sleep. On waking, they discover that something profound has happened and they know it instantly. Here are some of the changes they woke up with along with the certainty that a permanent change took place. They are happier. They will not be lonely again. Their stress has greatly diminished or disappeared. They are more grateful. They are not as concerned about finances. They are more comfortable in their relationship or work. In each case, the people reporting these happy changes did not purposely manifest these items. Each day they did imagine their comfortable future as they choose it to be. Over a period of time, each person accumulated hours of purposeful thought in that positive future. The result appears to be that each person’s thoughts filled in the unspoken gaps to complete that beautiful picture. They woke up with the gifts of what is essentially greater happiness and calm without directly asking for them. In some cases, readers stated that their unhappiness or stress was chronic despite their best efforts in the past to make the fix. They can now see a way forward into the future they dream of without the feelings of negativity that had been holding them back. What happened is not really a side effect, but a demonstration of what your thoughts can do. As you envision it your thoughts will begin to build it. Point yourself to happiness. Your thoughts are on the job creating the best and most efficient way to reach the goal. Creating with our thoughts is an amazing capability, a birthright and we are all equally capable. Put it to work for you! Ken
Grand Encouragement for 2016: Tuition Paid and Then the Perfect Job!
Barbara writes: I wanted to update you on my manifesting since we last spoke….good things have been happening. After we spoke last year, I had made a manifesting movie that I would have my DePaul University tuition covered for my last semester. It was a pretty haphazard movie but it was my future movie all the same. I didn’t want any further student loans but I wanted to finish my degree and graduate in June to participate in the once per year commencement ceremony. Three days after I began my movie, I received notification that my grades granted me entry into two Honor Societies at DePaul University! I received a scholarship from both which covered my last semester tuition in full. I was able to graduate Magna Cum Laude from DePaul University in June of 2015. Fast forward to today… In September 2015 I found that my contract job at the corporate offices of an automobile manufacturer would not be renewed due to budget issues. To make matters worse, my contract would end two months early. I was going to need to find a job and fast. I quickly got busy making my movie. In this movie, I loved my new job, they loved me, I made great money and had fantastic benefits but most of all, my job was fun and interesting. Two days later, I received an email from a job listing website with jobs listed that fit my skills. Buried at the bottom of that list was my dream job. That evening, a very late Saturday night, I applied online for the job. Two days later they called and asked some preliminary screening questions. I was told they move slowly and not to worry if I didn’t hear from them again right away. Two days after that, they called again to schedule an interview. I was told they would contact me in two weeks if they were still interested. Surprisingly, they called within days and I went in for a second interview. I really wanted this job…it was fun and interesting and it was good money but my self-esteem kept telling me it wouldn’t happen because it was also very prestigious. So, I had to really focus hard on my movie in which I was told the job was mine and the money was what I was looking for (we are a non-profit and they don’t usually pay market scale). Three days later, I was offered the job at a very comfortable salary!! Now it gets interesting… My boss told me she really wanted me as I was a “top tier” candidate due to my education and experience and she had wanted me from the start. She also said that I had gotten my application in just hours before they were planning to close the candidate search. What really floored me is that I had put in about 17 applications for jobs I was highly qualified for and had even contacted a head hunter and not a single one ever made contact back. How weird is that? Now that I am in this job, it feels like I have always been here. It’s truly my dream job and I am so very grateful that the Universe helped me obtain it. I know now why no other company responded to my applications. It was because this job was mine and it was exactly what I had asked for. I’m typing this to you from my desk at the Museum of Science and Industry in Chicago. We are the number one Science and Technology museum in the Western Hemisphere and I am very grateful to be here. Barbara Everything came together as she needed it. Note that all the time Barbara spent on those job applications was not wasted. When we are in our movie envisioning our future, our thoughts are literally taking form and creating that outcome. All the additional time Barbara spent on those job applications added to the intention of getting that ideal job. Knowing how thoughts form and create outcomes is a tremendous advantage. This is our birthright – think it and it starts to take shape. This is powerful knowledge. Barbara bought the book and made it happen. Simple. Pass it on!

Great Manifesting 123 Stories from 2015
Happy 2016! Instead of sending out this newsletter during the holidays last Friday, it is popping up today with some of the best manifesting stories from 2015. It is a thrill to see what people are doing with the simple but powerful information in Manifesting 123. With just a little time each day they are creating their desires and at times, what seems like miracles. These are not people that consider themselves gifted or special. Many of the people writing in have never tried something like this. Thanks to them, we have these wonderful stories to amaze and encourage us forward. I wish you every happiness, health and comfort in 2016. Ken Here are some of the story highlights from last year: Last year this couple closed a business deal that had been in limbo for a very long time and finally sold a property by using the techniques they learned in Manifesting 123. The Property Would Not Sell Until We Manifested the Perfect Solution From Michael: “I recently purchased Ken’s Manifesting 123 book at the Barnes and Noble bookstore. I had read books on manifesting before but never could finish reading the books I purchased because they bored me. After I read the book through once, as most people normally do, I put it away. This book always seemed to gravitate back to me. It was when I read the book the second time that things started to really take hold.” Money started showing up in amazing ways and even today, Michael is continuing to bring money in, even finding it on the streets almost every month. I Immediately Started to Manifest Money! Darla writes: “I’ve lived a life of poverty for many years. I was homeless, poor and on welfare my whole life. I always felt I was bad luck until my good friend sent this book, Manifesting 123.” Darla and her husband began manifesting together with surprising results: From Welfare to Faring Very Well, Thank You After M.C. found Manifesting 123 in a Goodwill store, things began to happen. “For years I was getting up at 3 or 4 am and going to a job I didn’t like. It was drudgery. I already knew some things about manifesting and this book got my attention. I learned how to offset my fears and use the 7 Grateful Things.” Here’s her story: I Manifested a Beautiful New Life! Arturo writes: “About a year ago I came across the book Manifesting 123. I have had a lot of successes with the book since then and I learned something very important, how my thoughts create and make things happen. I wanted to act, and I said so. I visualized a set with a chandelier, equipment cables on the floor around me and lighting scattered around. Something happened right away – it was like a click in my mind and everything felt right. I was in a place of calm and gratitude. It was an Ahhhhhh.” It was a very BIG click as you will see: I Manifested Becoming an Actor! From Terry: “I am a happy, upbeat person. I wake up grateful and I understand that the day may have ups and downs but I’m happy to be alive and healthy. I enjoy every day. I’m really proud of that fact and people tell me that I am a positive influence on their lives. Now that we have that out of the way, I want to talk about my Big Damn Cell Phone Problem.” She was just getting started, but the lesson was worth the trouble: Quickly Creating a Negative Result, Ouch! Joe writes: “I bought my daughter a 2010 Camaro when she was 16. I got a good deal on the car because the right rear driver’s side had a scrape that is a real eyesore. I was delaying the fix because the repair quotes came in at hundred of dollars. I was intrigued with story at the end of Manifesting 123 about a waitress that asked to be hit by a car. You read it right! The idea was that she would get an accident settlement from the insurance company. It was a wild idea but I couldn’t get it out of my mind. The story of the waitress that got hit by a car. (She came out fine physically) I kept coming back to the same thought, applying to my problem. If someone were to rear-end my car, that would pay the necessary repair on the Camaro.” Uh, OK…. Here’s what happened! Manifesting a Car Repair Quick, Not the Catastrophe Our thoughts truly create form, something I have had demonstrated to me for about 20 years now. It is the discovery at the core of Manifesting 123. It is a simple matter to create things for ourselves with focus, repetition, and emotion. But what can we manifest for others, our loved ones and the world France and Lebanon: What Can Manifesting and Prayer Do? Here are more stories from the first 6 months of 2015: Manifesting an Alternative to Surgery What are you manifesting? What are you blocking? Suddenly I was happier, manifesting did it overnight! Love, Fear, Manifesting and Gratitude Let’s make it a Great 2016! Ken
My Dad’s Holiday Miracle
My 85-year-old father has been very sick for sometime. It has been a big concern for me that he would die poorly. I live in another state, so the anguish was amplified. Our family dynamic isn’t the best so I was feeling compelled to take action. Everything was in disarray there. My father was in Florida living in what I would kindly term a mess. He is a veteran but wasn’t getting medical attention or proper benefits allowed from the Veterans Administration (V.A.) Some of the other family members had been trying to help but dad was comfortable with things as they were. After our trying to work with the VA for a VERY LONG time, my relatives had essentially given up trying. The only problem was that dad’s health and finances were failing. He had some small assets but they weren’t being managed properly so he wasn’t helped financially. I left my home and job and moved to Florida to help dad. It was a high-stakes gamble, but I felt my dad’s life depended on it. I was warned that I was setting expectations too high but I had to go for it. Once in Florida I began to trust my own instincts despite the legal implications of making a mistake. I felt the clear path was appearing before me. There were times when it looked impossible and I did so many things I’d never done before. I ran his store knowing nothing about it, cleaned out 2 hoarded mobile homes and rented them (one had a full blown airplane in it) and much more than there is space for here. I just kept going. There were so many steps to be taken before the VA could do anything at all: 4 lawyers were involved and at least 5 others walked away from the situation because they said nothing could be done. It was after I met you and began using Manifesting 123 that the VA came through. After all the previous work I had done on the problem for 2 years, I never knew if it would work out. I used Manifesting 123 to envision perfect solutions for my dad and myself. It used a big picture view without too many details. Since there were so many problems to solve, I left it to my manifesting regimen to create the best solution. From reading your newsletters I know you have heard this before but it is very different when it happens to you. In just 2 days the VA moved to take immediate action. They were wonderful! I was told it could take up to a year for VA to approve his pension but it happened in less than 2 months after reading your book. He was awarded his pension at last! Then the VA moved him into a sponsored home with a family that keeps an eye on him and cares for him. It is a dream come true for both of us. I stayed there for a few more months, helping and moving things along before I felt it was OK to return home. Before I arrived, my dad wasn’t really mobile and his health was failing. I had seen this cycle in my family with aged members and I was determined to write a new script if I possibly could. I arrived with only a backpack, few clothes and very little money, but we were both taken care of. Recently I received a video from the family caring for him. Dad was very mobile, delighted and gently dancing with two women! I am so very happy, thankful and in awe at how it all turned out. My dear father is happy, taken care of and everything has worked out for me as well. My finances are in much better shape and a lot of burdens have been lifted from both of us. It is a thrill to be able to share all the good news with everyone during this holiday season. Thank you for writing this book. Antoinette Visit her Motion Graphic Design website May all of the hopes and desires of your heart gently come to you as well. Happy Holidays! Ken
Manifesting and the Unexpected Outcomes
M.C. writes: In November 2014 I was in my beautiful 2003 Nissan Murano with my best friend at the wheel. We were involved in an accident that tragically killed a deer and my friend’s tea-cup Yorkie. Luckily, my friend and I were not hurt but my car was totaled. I had canceled a portion of my auto accident coverage the week before so I was out of pocket $370 to tow the car 3 miles to a hotel in Buffalo WY. Thank goodness the major portion of my car insurance was still in effect. Suddenly, I had some big financial problems. I was aware of Manifesting 123 and had dabbled with it but now I seriously put it to work on my current problems. Things happened quickly and I was very grateful for the breaks that started coming my way! The hotel clerk in Buffalo set us up in a very nice room for $90 discounted from $149. He also allowed me to keep the damaged car parked in their lot until the tow truck came. After I paid the $1,000 deductible on my car insurance, I got a check that would provide me enough money to buy a much smaller used car and replace my very old computer. This was not the ideal car, because it wouldn’t haul my artworks around but I made a decision to like my new/used little car. Flash forward 13 months and in the interim time, I had developed a focused intention and was consistently manifesting my own ‘future movie.’ In the movie I was driving the new car that would make me happy and meet my needs. Tragically, I later found myself traveling to Montana to attend my nephew’s funeral. My sister’s only son died and she was left to settle the estate. When I suggested that I might be interested in his SUV, my sister was delighted. While it was a sad situation, my sister was relieved that she would not to have to deal with selling a used car. Being the ethical person she is, my sister had me take the car to her repair guy and she paid for all of the necessary repairs. My heart goes out to her and her son. Before my nephew’s passing I had told myself I had to get a new vehicle to transport my art around in. I had a focused intention and as I learned in the book, I created my own ‘future movie’ where I was driving the new car that would make me happy and meet my needs. After reading and practicing the techniques in Manifesting 123, I noticed that many of the manifestations happen quickly. I gifted the book to my close friend and she began to visualize checks coming to her. In a short time her finances have improved and she is thinking more positively and abundantly. I’ll keep you posted because life keeps changing in positive ways thanks to reading your book and actually DOING what I have learned and letting God help me. Thank you! M.C. So Much Appears in Unexpected Ways Dear M.C., my condolences to you, your friend and family. Many thanks to you for sharing your story with us. After M.C. lost the Murano, a good car appeared that became the ‘bridge’ to the prefect SUV. New she has great transportation / art hauler and a new computer, the perfect tools for her art career. The arc of this story took over a year to come to fruition and in very unexpected ways. Yes, there was tragedy at times and this is a delicate story to tell, but good outcomes occurred as well. Looking back at our lives, how many things have worked out exactly as we planned it? The beauty of Manifesting 123 is knowing how any of your thoughts, positive or negative, actually create outcomes. The results may not be exactly what you expect or at the time you plan but you can often see that the results reflect your intentions. You can create the options you desire without floating through life or at the whims of others When you begin to manifest, your thoughts are literally creating and finding the most efficient pathways to the solutions you desire. Here’s an idea – how about pointing yourself to happiness? Enjoy the season! Ken Photo credit: Alistair Creelman blog
Manifesting Reconnections in Impossible Ways
Leah writes: Among one of the things I do when I’m manifesting is to picture the friendships I have had over the years, memories that bring joy because these friendships are important to me. As a result, I find myself coming into contact with friends I haven’t spoken to in years. Manifesting in this way creates some interesting pathways. Some of the reconnections take place in my dreams or when I am manifesting / visualizing meeting friends in my future movie. What has resulted is nothing short of remarkable. I have actually had dreams of phone numbers belonging to friends I have not seen in 20-30 years. Some of those numbers still exist and others are new numbers delivered by the dreams. This is unexplainable, but after calling the number and reconnecting, an old friend is new again. I also get dreams about friends or relatives living or deceased. When I get this information I call the friend or a widow / widower at a time they need a friend. I am not aware of their having an especially difficult time, but manifesting points me in the direction to be of help. In these cases I already have their contact information so I just follow the lead I am given. Today I spoke to you Ken, and received the assistance I’ve been hoping for. You spoke as a friend with the words I needed to hear. It will help me to go forward with some recent health issues and provide the encouragement to continue manifesting a rich and fulfilling life. Blessings to you, Leah Manifesting creates the target you seek in unexpected ways Thank you Leah, for your story. It was great to compare experiences! Leah has been using Manifesting 123 for some time to accomplish a variety of good things in her life. I was struck by our conversation this week because it involved friends she hasn’t seen in a long time. I’ve experienced something similar in the last months as well. We are blessed with many wonderful friends and we make being of help to them a priority. It is part of what we manifest each day. Still, it is a surprise to come in contact with someone dear from over 40 years ago as I did at a lecture last month. Another example happened yesterday when I felt compelled to visit my Houston gallery RIGHT THEN (I just returned from there.) As I stepped out of the car, I was met by a friend and long-term employee there just as she exited the door. She had just retired after 37 years and was leaving the gallery at that exact moment! It was a meant-to-be meeting and we promised to stay in touch. It was impossible for me to be in Houston and meet her at that very moment. Or was it? That was just part of my full day of high coincidences, all following the script of what I had been manifesting. For Leigh and the rest of us, we can often see a peripheral result of what our thoughts are creating. It’s like a preview or a small confirmation that bigger things are coming or like an in-your-face signal that we are on the right track. Something occurs that corresponds to what we are creating, not exactly the ‘big thing’ but a recognizable result. Usually the outcome is a pleasant one, but how many times have we lost the job we didn’t like or that apartment or car that needed an upgrade? Sometimes manifesting will eliminate what is holding us back – the job we can’t quit because it provides the security we need. Once we are free of those limits, the new job or better place to live magically appears. Either way, the happy future you are manifesting is always at work, forming up the solutions in the most efficient and seeming impossible ways. What looks like bad news is sometimes the perfect and quickest path to happiness. Keep in mind that if manifesting can do these ‘impossible’ things, it can do anything – you are making it so. As I wrote in the book, “Know the difference between and big miracle and a little one?” “Nothing.” Create marvelous things! Ken Photo credit: upper left, The Odyssey Online
Making the Red Car Happen!
From Carey: As I was reading Ken’s book Manifesting123 and the passage “With a vision board, you can picture the wonderful vacation, the college degree and that sweet red car,” it brought clearly to mind the first time I manifested something in this way. Many years ago I was taking my break at work, passing the time looking through a magazine. I saw a really beautiful picture of a little red sports car and decided to cut it out. I remember it made me happy just to look at it. I wanted to put it up in my cubicle to brighten the space but didn’t want it to be noticed by others. The office had a strict policy about customizing spaces, so I pinned the picture to the wall behind my phone. I knew I would see the picture often during the day. Six weeks later, I found myself driving around looking at cars as mine was on its last legs. I couldn’t afford anything but a small compact price. I hadn’t researched any particular brand and I felt I was at a financing disadvantage since I just started my job three months earlier. All I needed was a good car at the affordable price I had in mind! After going to several car lots with no luck, I drove into a small dealership I hadn’t seen before and hoped for the best. Right by the front doors I spied a beautiful little red sports car that looked brand new. The odd thing was that this car wasn’t the brand this dealership sold…hmm. That day and its details are forever ingrained in my mind. I started talking to the salesman that greeted me and asked him about the car. He said there was a gentleman that was quite wealthy who bought a lot of cars from this dealership. He had bought the red car at another dealership for his wife but she didn’t like it, preferring a stick shift to an automatic. “Who does that?” I remembered thinking. So he had bought another car for her at this dealership and traded in the red car as part of the deal. The salesman went on to say that the car was that year’s latest model, had been titled for 3 months (HUGE warranty remaining) and had 832 miles on it. That salesman turned out to be my favorite car salesman of all time. He worked through the numbers and got me exactly what I needed. I was out the door with my new car in an hour and half, including test drive time! What had seemed an impossible “dream” turned the little picture of the red car into a true life movie! Carey Red, it’s the color of the season! There is another red car that was manifested after a reader was influenced by the same ‘red car’ phrase in Manifesting 123. It’s a great story called The Equivalent of Money. In that story a Swedish reader, Emma, used Manifesting 123 as her secret weapon to get the car that was seemingly beyond her financial means. Carey did the same and it was simple visualization and repetition for the most part, but they each made the ‘impossible’ red car happen. Manifesting is not difficult and it doesn’t require any special gifts or skills on your part. Sound too good to be true? Find out for yourself. Take Manifesting 123 for your own test drive!
