Your Checks are in the Mail!

Denae writes: I lost my corporate job in a lay off over a year ago and I had received the last severance check this past May. I was searching for employment and also researching a business that would be about helping others. I had read Manifesting 123 and I was using the ‘Movie’ to create a future where all my expenses and needs are taken care of.  I was at the point where I was going to need more income pretty quick. Around that time, I was talking to a friend. I was explaining the Manifesting 123 book to her and talking about how to use thought in the future you create to manifest things. Then it hit me. I remembered something from a film or book where a man went to a mailbox and retrieved envelops with checks in them. Up to this point my manifesting scenarios were very general and without visuals.  My friend and I immediately did our movies together and we felt profound love and gratitude for what we created in our futures. It was the first time I used a visual in my movie: seeing myself actually getting checks in the mail. I forgot about it until the next day. I went to my front door just as the mailman was coming up the walk. He handed me a stack of letter-sized envelopes. I knew what they were before I opened them. Unexpected checks! I got goose bumps all over. The envelopes contained twelve checks! The strange thing was that all twelve checks were from the hospital where I had therapy treatments almost two years before. Those were very expensive treatments mostly covered by insurance, and my co-payment portion was between $150-$200 each session. This group of checks totaled almost $2200 and there was no explanation for the refund. It was just a stack of checks without supporting paperwork! It was also odd that I had not received just one check, but multiple checks in separate envelopes. I called the hospital and was transferred around. When I finally got to the right department, the person on the phone couldn’t find a record of the checks or the reason I should have them. Finally, a supervisor said that I should just cash them. This unexpected blessing turned out to be just the right amount for me. I was able to meet my expenses comfortably and I continue to do so now. After that experience, I’ve been very encouraged to use Manifesting 123 daily and I am now manifesting many more things including my perfect career.   My daughter was skeptical of my story, saying that the hospital refund was in progress long before I did the movie. I personally have had convincing experiences showing me that time beyond the physical is not the same as the realm beyond our normal senses. In this other realm, there is no space/time. Regardless of what I think, it doesn’t have to make sense. I have clearly seen how thoughts create. It is for me to know and use. I have had others stories after taking the Manifesting 123 Workshop, but this one with the checks is the most dramatic so far.  This book is brilliant in its simplicity and goes beyond any other manifesting books or techniques I have come across. I have never heard anyone else explain the process of how we manifest before so clearly and simply. Thank you to Ken’s very special mentors! It makes perfect sense and understanding how thought really works makes all the difference. I love the part about addressing concerns or fears by scheduling actions too. As Ken says, we are already expert at manifesting. So decide on where you want to go and what you desire to do. Be aligned with your true purpose and dreams. Manifesting is incredibly useful and fun! One day results… amazing!   Denae was already using the Manifesting 123 techniques but she made two important changes. The first was to create a move where she actually saw the checks she received. Then she infused her scene with emotion and gratitude. I should point out that the solution didn’t have to be a check. Financial solutions come in a variety of ways: a reduction in rent, refunds, bonuses, gifts. These are the equivalents of money. When we have a problem fast approaching or surrounding us, it is normal to slide into worry and fear. Denae made the smart move. She envisioned a future where she saw the solution handed to her and she felt a grateful result. Please remember that fear and worries are thoughts and they create anything. Thought is a natural law like gravity. Gravity pulls things to the ground without judgement and it works equally for everyone. Your thoughts just make things, anything,  and it starts creating from your mind immediately.  Take advantage, get the book or listen to my interviews explaining it all for free here.

Left the Job, Security and Followed the Dream!

Image and story from Patrice Federspiel, artist   website In Wisconsin, my routine for years was getting up at 4:30 am to paint or sculpt before going to work. I knew if I waited until the end of the day to create, I would not have the energy. The job came first and being an artist was a struggle. Every morning I would ask aloud, “How can I paint full time?” Ask and it is given, we have all heard this mantra. Still, I was completely surprised when, after 3-4 years of asking, the opportunity presented itself. Winter in Wisconsin is cold and snowy, so in January 2000, a friend and I decided to take a one-week vacation to visit a friend who was a grad student in Hawai’i. Back then I knew next-to-nothing about the Hawaiian Islands. I had lived my entire life in Wisconsin. My trip to Hawai’i was meant to be a spiritual quest, to put a foot into the Pacific Ocean and to visit a friend in grad school, Sarah. I had absolutely no intention of staying. Sarah had just moved into a tiny garage apartment on the Island. She was a busy teacher’s assistant and writing a grant proposal to do research at the Smithsonian in Washington DC. She paid her rent by doing yard work for a University of Hawai’i professor who owned the house. We hardly saw Sarah that week. Instead, my Wisconsin friend and I explored the beaches on O’ahu and spent three days at the Kilauea Volcano on the big island of Hawai’i. On our last day, we snorkeled at Hanauma Bay. Later we walked the length of Waimanalo Beach, where we came upon a tour group with boogie boards. I had never even seen boogie board before, but I knew I HAD to ride one. A tour guide took me out and caught a wave for me. Not knowing what to do, I jumped up on my knees and rode in to shore. What fun! The next, larger wave washed the board right out from under me, but I didn’t care. I had been transformed by the experience. It was time to leave the beach; we had to get ready for the airport flight back home. As we walked back to our car, I turned around to wave good-bye to the tour guide. He waved back and tears of gratitude and joy streamed down my face. Suddenly I thought: “What will Sarah do if she gets her research grant to work in DC? She wouldn’t want to lose an apartment where she didn’t pay rent! I could quit my job, sell my house, and take care of that apartment for her. I could PAINT!” In order to keep the bolt of energy I felt running through me, I repeated those same words, out loud this time. Later that day when Sarah showed us her apartment, I asked what she would do if she got the grant. She said if I were to house sit, it would be the perfect solution. I took her up on it! After three months, I learned that Sarah got the grant! To make this work, I had six weeks to quit my job, sell my house, and move. I had never moved out of Wisconsin before. This was a HUGE decision.  I didn’t know what I was getting myself into, but I knew this was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. My idea of security was turned on its head. It felt riskier to stay in my very stable, wonderful job, in my own comfortable home near the arboretum in Madison, than to make this move. The day came when I was living in Hawai’i and took Sarah to catch her plane to DC. It was then I realized I didn’t know anyone on O’ahu. I was thousands of miles and five time zones away from family and friends. It has been hard and lonely at times, but I wouldn’t change any of the past 14 years for a minute! I have learned SO much about art, about myself, and about life in general since my first boogie board ride. Time after time doors have opened for me in Hawai’i. Yes, I have worked very hard. I was an oil painter in Wisconsin. I learned to paint with watercolors after realizing the small space of Sarah’s apartment could be lethal when combined with fumes from the oils. One of the most important things I’ve learned is that we don’t have to know all the steps needed to reach our goal. What is needed is an area of focus, a strong desire, a great deal of perseverance and the willingness to take a risk. I had absolutely no idea when I first decided to visit Hawai’i that I would be living here today. It simply never occurred to me. But I did know what I wanted to do. I wanted to paint full time. That is what I do now. Reaching a goal is always about putting one foot in front of the other – over and over and over again. Be prepared for anything, and something will happen. As Dale Carnegie once said: “Set your mind on a goal, burn all of your bridges behind you, then watch how quickly the world steps aside to let you pass.”   This is classic Manifesting: ask, repeat, act. Patrice had a foremost goal and that was to be a full-time artist. She owned a home and had a comfortable job but it was all backwards. The job took precedence over being a professional artist. This was the driver, “Every morning I would ask aloud, “How can I paint full time?” Eventually the opportunity came in two ways: a remarkable environment to live in and an apartment at just about zero cost. It was quite a leap, but as she said, many doors have opened for her. Part of her process was to evaluate security vs. happiness, something we all have encountered or presently struggle with. It takes smarts and bravery sometimes but you can also have

Pro Manifesting: Keeping the Job and More

I’ve been a professional the broadcasting business for decades now. I’ve worked on a number of popular television shows that you would know the names of. My job is to capture the audio and work in tandem with the camera operators and directors of the show. I really love what I do and over the years I have met amazing people behind the scenes as well as famous actors and talented people on the shows. I make a comfortable living from my career and I’m very grateful for all it has brought to my life. Each season, I look forward to the time of the football broadcasts. For the last few years, I was fortunate to have been a part of the football broadcast team. The income is a nice bonus and it has been a steady gig each Sunday for the last few seasons. When the announcement came in last May that the football broadcast headquarters would be moved, it looked like the end of the football broadcasts and that nice Sunday paycheck. I really didn’t want to give up on that work and the overtime pay, so I did the best thing I could do. I have been doing the Manifesting 123 exercises for some time now and it quickly came to me that I had to prevent worrying about losing the football work. Since I am already manifesting my perfect career and doing well financially, I’m not going to upend the good by letting my worries create something I don’t want. I continued to focus on the good things in my future, manifesting all the things I desire and absent any financial concerns. In additions, I’m grateful for this gift and what I am allowed to create. That was the best I could do. If I needed that extra income, it could appear in a number of ways, so I was comfortable with my action plan. Later in August and much to my surprise, I got the word that I would still be part of the Sunday broadcast team. Even though the broadcast center was a good distance from the previous location, it was determined that they would bring all of the broadcast crew to the new center. Now we are picked up in a limousine, put up in a nice hotel Saturday night and our food is taken care of. Who would have figured on a solution and a commute like this? I am making the same salary and with less stress getting to work! I’m very happy and amazed at how it all came together. I’m proud of myself for never letting worry get in the way. It was really about income after all, and I never doubted that everything would turn out OK. The book says thoughts can create anything and since worry is a thought, I’m using all the tools in the book to deal with worry in the best possible way. I have better things to manifest.   He went straight to Plan A I talked with the person that sent in this story. He never worried about losing the Sunday job. It was just a bump in the road to him. He continued to do the #1 of 123, and that is to visualize a future where everything is as you want it. He is right, your thoughts will make whatever you repetitively imagine, so why would he want to being negative into the future he is creating every day? He was creating the perfect outcome without specifying endless details. As it turns out, his perfect solution rolled up in a limo. Can you beat that? Jump in and find out!

Manifesting Living Well, Living the Dream

Manifesting Living Well, Living the Dream In about 1995 I was going down, overwhelmed by my debt. I felt that I was going to have to claim bankruptcy and I felt like a failure. I had sold my home where I had raised my son as a single mom. I was given an opportunity to move into the carriage house of a home located in an expensive neighborhood. It was just the break I prayed and asked for. Part of my rent agreement was that would work there as a manager of the property. I had never done anything like that before but felt I would be able to succeed. I lived and worked there for 4 years, taking care of the rentals on site. The house was for sale so another part of my duties was to keep the grounds in a pristine condition and ready to sell. I also worked as a floral designer during those days and did telemarketing at night. I was working very hard but the good news was I didn’t have to file bankruptcy. After four years there, I was overwhelmed with so much work to do. I was fortunate to have landed a good place to live and the time to get back on my feet but I had a real desire for peace and quiet. That was a really strong intention I was putting out so I wasn’t surprised at all when the owner told me I needed to move out that very day. Her house had been on the market for some time and she felt I was keeping the home from selling. It was quite a jolt but fortunately, I had very little in the way of belongings. I called a mover and was out of there and at my new digs in St Petersburg beach, overlooking the Gulf of Mexico by noon. What great news and it all went so incredibly smoothly! It was like a switch was turned on when I was shown out of my former home. I had known about this St. Petersburg place overlooking the gulf. I had a dear friend that had rented that condo and recently moved into a retirement community. The condo owner didn’t have the vision to see the potential of the space – it was really being used for storage. I called the owner and asked if I could rent it for what I could afford and store the owners belongings in the second bedroom. She agreed and it was exactly what I needed. It felt like a gift from God because it was exactly what I had asked for. Two big things I learned from this. Never put anyone on a pedestal, they may not be looking out for you. Second, I am worthy to receive what I desire.   I was able to live on that beach for 13 years. I walked the beach, saw the sunsets, dolphins and full moons. Every night I listened to the sounds of the waves before I slept. It was such a wonderful gift, the perfect healing for me. I am now semi-retired, working 30 hours a week. From 4-9 pm, I am helping people with delinquent student loans arrange and manage their debt. It is a free service. I have the early part of day to meditate, study, prepare healthy meals and connect with friends. I just love it. My current dream is to travel in an RV with my soul mate and visit nature’s beautiful places. It is my prayer and it’s also what I work on when I am doing my manifesting exercises. It will surely happen, God willing. Sending this story to you was a very healing process and it gave me an opportunity to review how blessed and grateful I am. It also prompted me to recall a forgotten and important memory. It took place in the carriage house. I had been meditating every day with a lovely rose-colored 6” pillar candle. I would focus on the light from the candle and clear my thoughts. Well, one night I was looking at the candle and saw that the light was about half-way down inside the candle. I noticed there was a face sculpted in the candle and the light was shinning through it. I have a hard time believing this even now. I looked closer and discovered the glowing face was mine!! I enjoyed meditating with that candle for many days. I have it still as just a puddle of wax now. I just can’t seem to throw it away. I got the message that I am a light to others. I love this story because I needed that comforting embrace at the time. I haven’t shared the story with anyone until now. I had forgotten all about it until I began to write this manifesting story. I am happy to have this memory back and it will live in my heart.   By asking, she got out of a crisis and when she discovered her worthiness, she created more. For many years, Juanita Christy has been teaching and coaching, specializing in emotional freedom technique (EFT) and the law of attraction at the First Unity Church in St. Petersburg, Florida. After purchasing the Manifesting 123 book, she wanted to share her personal story with us. When times were tough, Juanita asked for and manifested a comfortable home at a price she could afford. Calm and quiet was not an option at the earlier carriage house, but it was the perfect place for her to be at the time. Living at the carriage house required a lot from her mentally and physically. After a few years she developed a very strong desire for less pressure and peace, Here is something that happens often. She wasn’t completely happy living and working at the first place but it worked to her budget and she needed the security. Later, her strong intention was for something better and calmer. Perhaps when the

The Incredible House Miracle, Part 2

This is the continuation of last weeks story. Part 1 here During the last depression, a young couple experienced a large downturn in their businesses and they were about to default on their home mortgage. We met to discuss a strategy and they began to use the Manifesting 123 techniques in order to keep their perfect home. The money ran out and they were going to default on the loan. The called the bank for help and discovered their bank had sold their loan to another bank that had going out of business. The couple didn’t have a bank to send their payments to! After more investigation, they found their loan had been resold at least five more times and the current mortgage holder could not find the paperwork connecting them to the couple’s home loan. It is now four years later and amazingly, the couple has not made a payment on their house for the last 48 months! They have a legal team that has advised against making payments until the proper loan papers have been presented and authenticated. Now their businesses are doing well and instead of paying the house payment, they have been putting that money into savings. When this story began, they had to file bankruptcy since business was so bad, seriously hurting their chances of getting a new home loan in the future. The possibility of having a home for the family was hanging by a thread, but they were manifesting the perfect outcome. They have manifested a miracle up to now. Here is the rest of the story from two weeks ago. I got a call from Robert, the husband involved in this saga. He told me there was new information regarding the loan. I was on pins and needles, waiting to hear the news. If the current mortgage holder produced the proper paperwork, then a number of things could happen. The mortgage holder could demand full payment from the last four years. Another option could be some agreement with a smaller financial burden, but the precent bankruptcy would be a problem. There is also the possibility that they could just get the house for free. I was on the edge of my chair. Robert said there was a new law recently passed in the state that would allow the loan holder to begin demanding payments on their house, regardless of the paperwork snafu. Here was the deal: they offered him a low interest loan and the entire note would have to be paid over a twenty or thirty year period. The monthly payment would not be a burden but there was a large ballon payment due at the end of the period. It would be the sizable balance not covered by the low monthly payments. Robert was very uncomfortable with those terms and asked for another offer. Keep in mind that he had been successfully manifesting a way to stay in his perfect home for four years now. So why not seek out the perfect solution for his family to stay in their perfect home? An offer came back. The couple could have a loan with these terms: No money down. No loan approval. The bankruptcy is not a factor. A loan at just over 2% for 30 years at a fixed amount. They would not have to make up the payments from the last four years. Last, the amount of the note would be for the fair value of the house today, an amount Robert said was fair. Robert was elated and very grateful!! These were ideal terms and the new monthly payment would be a comfortable amount for the couple to pay each month. A magical resolution appeared.   This is a remarkable illustration of what we can do just by thinking it. A solution was theirs for the asking. As it turned out, Robert, his wife and family continued to live in their perfect home regardless of the odds. Even though they found themselves in a financial jam, they were able to remain in their home for the last four years without making a payment. Now they are back to making mortgage payments normally and it is not a burden to do so. A four year workaround was created and all of the parties are happy with the result. It is an amazing turn of events. This looks like a money issue, but it is really is a singular problem to be solved. It was about how to have the perfect family home. The answer wasn’t money really. Solutions could come in many forms. They simply worked on manifesting having a perfect home without specifying how it would occur. The answer came in a most unusual way, beyond imagining or hoping for. It shows how flexible the space around us really is. The scenarios that appear to be fixed or hopeless can be changed with our thoughts and in ways that can seem miraculous. This is not a fantasy. I have gifted friends that can observe your thoughts taking form immediately. This is the new and fundamentally important information at the core of this book. Your thoughts actually build, beginning as a vapor in the unseen field around you. They become more solid each time you return to that idea. Eventually, your thoughts will become fully formed and pass from the invisible field around you into your physical world. This is what thoughts do and they do it every time. Take advantage. You have been doing this all your life but perhaps you haven’t noticed. Get the book or listen to my radio interviews. Start making the changes you desire today. 123 go!

The Incredible House Miracle, Part 1

This is a perfect illustration of what Manifesting 123 can do. It is in your power to do wonderful and seemingly impossible things. This story begins four years ago and just last week I heard how it ended. Enjoy the story so far and come back to hear the conclusion next Friday. This is how it begins. (excerpted from Manifesting 123, page 111) A few years ago, a younger couple I know called me. They had heard me discuss manifesting techniques previously, and were now in a jam over their mortgage. Could they come over and discuss manifesting again? They have two wonderful children and their lives are centered in service to others. Each parent owns a single-employee business. Times were bad economically and their businesses had suffered mightily. They found themselves struggling to pay their mortgage held by one of the largest banks in the country. The three of us sat together and I offered all of the manifesting information you have read here. The couple returned home, inspired to do their Movie every day. Three or four months later, a mutual friend indicated she had talked with this couple about financial matters and they mentioned my name. The mutual friend did not want to discuss these private affairs and recommended that I contact the couple right away. I was concerned about talking to them. What if I had given advice or information that was detrimental to them? I called and the husband told the most amazing story. The couple had been doing their Movie every day for weeks. In their Movies, each of them created a future in their perfect house without financial problems. Still, business had continued to get worse and they found themselves two months behind in their mortgage payments. They called their bank to admit the obvious: Money was owed and their financial future was bleak. Since each of their income streams was way down, the couple would be ineligible to refinance.  They were at the mercy of the bank and asked what could possibly be done to keep their house. The bank representative agreed to call the couple back shortly. Not long after, the bank called with a surprising piece of information. Unknown to the couple, the bank had sold their mortgage to another organization and the couple would have to contact the new mortgage holder. The couple dutifully made the call. I can’t imagine what they felt with their house hanging by a thread. Keep in mind that the couple kept returning to their Movie every day. They discovered the new owner of their mortgage was no longer in business! Now what? Who were they supposed to talk to?  Who were they supposed to make house payments to?  The couple continued their Movie newly inspired. Within a couple weeks, they coincidentally met an investigator for a group of lawyers. These lawyers specialized in the problems house owners were having with their mortgage holders. The investigator heard their story, made inquiries and came back with the most amazing news. The couple’s mortgage had been sold five more times and was being held by a company in Europe. Here’s the best part: The European company didn’t have paperwork solidly connecting the company to the mortgage! A lot of back-and-forth ensued and finally, a court hearing was held in the couple’s county. At the hearing, a lawyer representing the European company was called upon to show evidence that the company owned this mortgage. The lawyer presented a computer spreadsheet listing the couple’s name along with a number of others as a list. “What is this?” the judge asked. The lawyer replied that the spreadsheet was proof that the company held the mortgage. “My 4-year-old could do this,” the judge responded.  “You have no standing in my court. Don’t come back until you have proper documentation linking you to this mortgage.” At the time of this writing, the couple have been in their house for 2 years without making a mortgage payment. Their case is now part of a larger class-action suit. It’s highly likely their case will take some time to resolve, but in the meantime, their businesses are rebounding. Since there is no institution to pay, the couple is still living in their wonderful home and putting what would be the mortgage payment away into their personal savings account. I asked them how they felt about the turn of events. They replied that what they were experiencing was virtually impossible.  They both felt their Movie may have had a lot to do with their situation, since every day they are in their perfect home without a financial hardship. If for whatever reason they lose this home, they feel sure their next home will be equal to or even better than their present house. They have created a specific housing future that is taking them to their perfect conclusion. If it’s not this house, it will be another and another until the perfect home presents itself. This optimal house will be ideal physically with the right location and financially comfortable as well. Here’s that phrase again, “Be careful what you ask for.” When I feel about anxious about a request, I ask anyway but add this comforting phrase, “I ask for these things to come with an ease and a grace.” Don’t discount the “equivalent” of money or the “equivalent” solution coming your way. You could find that you have to pay less to live or you may come into some unexpected income. There are thousands of money equivalents that can present themselves. The equivalent of money spends just like money. Why settle for anything less than your ideal in whatever form it might take? You’re looking for your perfect partner? The equivalent of your perfect partner may be you. You may find that perfect companion or you may become perfectly content on your own with a wonderful variety of supporting and entertaining friends.   Can it really be that simple? It is amazing how this couple was able to avoid certain

How to see the Pope without a ticket

Karen writes: I have asked for many things in my life, but this turned out to be something extraordinary and long-lasting. The Pope’s Mass was being televised from Monterey, California in l987. I feel silly admitting this, but as I walked by the television set I touched the screen and said, “I’d sure like to see you in person.” The Pope’s next stop was San Francisco and of course tickets to see him at Candlestick Park had been sold out for months. As I drove across the Bay Bridge the day of his Mass, I listened to him on the radio. I was approaching my exit to downtown for an appointment, but I couldn’t resist the tremendous urge to drive on and head for Candlestick Park. I decided to see the Pope and do it without a ticket! Well, I’d never even been to that stadium and I wasn’t sure which exit to take. I took the wrong route and ended up in a huge parking lot of a manufacturing company. I headed back to the freeway on a frontage road, and then saw it, Candlestick Park. I pulled into a parking lot filled with buses and security guards. A guard came to my van window and said: “You can’t park here. Well of course not,” I thought to myself, “and this could go down in your diary as one of the silliest things you’ve ever done.” I turned around and headed back up the hill toward the freeway again. As I was driving away, I saw three people flagging me down. There was a neatly dressed man, his wife and a child. I normally wouldn’t have stopped in a situation like this, but I did. They were desperately hurrying to catch a plane. All they wanted was a ride to the bus stop and they asked me if I would take them there. I gave them another once-over evaluation and said, “Sure, get in, I don’t seem to have anything else to do.” They were very grateful and remarked how lucky they were to find me out there, since there was no one else around. Of course not… anyone with good sense (and a ticket) was already seated and listening to the Pope. They were curious and asked how I happened to be in the bus parking lot. When I said I had this wild notion I was going to see the Pope, even without a ticket, I saw the man reach for something in his pocket. Can you imagine my total amazement when he handed me a ticket? They had to leave, he explained, so he gave me his. It was a pretty fast ride to the bus stop and I was back at the bus parking lot again with no place to park. Now I was very excited, so I drove back up the hill and found the only spot left on a side street, and just the right size for my van. I grabbed my camera and literally ran for the stadium entrance. I was panting when I got to the admission gate, partly from exhaustion and partly from excitement. I proudly handed the agent my ticket, and she said: “Sorry, but for security reasons we can’t let anyone in after the service has begun.” I couldn’t believe it. All I could say was a feeble, “But I have a ticket.” Well, something told me it wasn’t supposed to end like this, so I ran around the outside wall hoping to find another entrance. Yes, there it was. There were also many security guards. There was no way, but I was already standing there, I started to try the ticket again. Suddenly, there was this very loud booming noise from somewhere. I couldn’t tell what in the world it was, but all the guards looked up to the sky and I walked right in to see the Pope! There he was, like a magnet. I forgot all about finding the ticketed seat. I just walked down to the field level, went to the edge of the iron fence and there I was. I was at the closet perimeter to the Pope. I just gazed at hime from across the grass. He said: “Let us pray.” It was his closing prayer and then he blessed us all. I couldn’t believe it! There was an immediate sense of my being lifted onto a cloud. What an incredibly wonderful experience. Since that chain of events, I’m convinced there is a force that cares about our everyday needs. All you have to do is “ask and it shall be given you.” Well, that was just ONE set of miracles! What is a miracle? A phenomenon that defies the laws of nature. Little did I know another would unfold 11 years later!  I was on a bus tour of Europe in 1998. It was a real whirlwind of basically a night in each of ten countries. At the time, currency was different in each country. It seems I always had the wrong money in my pocket when we stopped for lunch. Not being able to pay for lunch is a good way to lose weight. Italy was one of the last countries we visited, and as we pulled into Rome, the driver was totally frustrated by the traffic. After sitting for several minutes at a time and then moving only a few feet, the tour director announced that he was going to park the bus. He recommended that we should all exit the bus and get a cup of coffee. We were near the Vatican and it was the Pope’s 20th Anniversary. The roads were virtually blocked with cars and people walking to the St. Peter’s Square. Everyone was hoping the Pope would make an appearance. So, I eagerly followed the crowd the short distance to the Vatican. Well……you guessed it….again! The huge, majestic doors of the Vatican opened and out walked the Pope! He spoke for several captivating minutes. I didn’t need a ticket this time. And yes, I felt like I was lifted up onto that cloud again. Actually, I couldn’t even speak for awhile because

My Heart’s Desire

From Carol, My largest heart’s desire for years has been to have a loving, healthy relationship and to discover the man of my dreams. After a few short-term relationships and plenty of internet dating, I became discouraged. Yet, I knew my guy was out there and I knew I would have a relationship, so I hung in there. Finally in 2014, I decided that I would manifest my partner this year. I found myself telling my friends that this was the year that I would partner with the right person. I continued to hold the dream vividly in my consciousness and would often visualize and feel the emotion of being in a wonderful relationship. It was a relentless dream—the most important one! I used the manifesting techniques I had learned every day. Much of my energy went into taking actions toward this goal and picturing it in my future. It was a constant wish. I desired it more than anything I can think of. Interestingly, there was a man I had dated several times and we had a nice, mutual attraction. His name was Mark and our dating ended on three different occasions mostly because he was too busy running his successful firm. Each time I was rather dumbfounded as it seemed we could be right for one another. A year ago we had decided to give it another try and after a few weeks he ultimately decided to end it again, feeling I hadn’t been there to the degree he wanted. I was very sad, but felt I needed to move on. A year went by and one day I emailed Mark spontaneously, not sure why, but without romantic thoughts. We decided to get together, but he was in the mountain town where he has a home, so I drove up and with no expectations this time, we met again. Our time together flowed in a wonderful way. We both felt surprised and somewhat puzzled, but continued on. We ended up spending the entire day together. That evening we embraced and expressed our fondness for one another and our wonderment that, given how much we cared for one another, we hadn’t come together in our past attempts. We continued to see one another, but by this time I had started another relationship. Ultimately, the love Mark and I shared was simply undeniable and I bowed out of the other relationship. Mark and I happily fell in love and we are talking about the future! We are both amazed and grateful that we have found one another. When I find myself feeling as if a miracle has happened, I realize that I pulled him to me with the strength of my vision. I was picturing it and being grateful for what would be. Manifesting works, it is very simple to do and it has brought me much happiness! Carol How did this come about? Carol was very clear about when this would happen and she specified that “right” person. Without using details, she required that her partner be the right one, nothing less. She kept the bar high and simple at the same time. Carol knows a lot about manifesting and she understands that a lot of details are unnecessary when ‘right’ or ‘perfect’ are so much better. The first few times Carol and Mark were together it just wasn’t right. Both of them set the bar pretty high for that possible partner. Is it possible that each of them needed a bit more polishing up, so to speak? It is possible they needed a better understanding or appreciation of each other? Whatever the reason, it just wasn’t ‘right’ in the beginning and they moved on. The time came when everything was “right” all at once. After a lot of time had passed, Carol had the urge to call Mark without any preconceived ideas. Carol’s continued thoughts to manifest the right partner never stopped building. Your thoughts will work ceaselessly and efficiently to bring what you require into existence. So take advantage, set your bar high and stay with it. How very exciting for Carol and Mark!

Yes, OK Maybe, Then a Jackpot!

From Martha: I’m writing to tell you my story so far. I bought your book last February. Before that, I had some knowledge of the Secret but your book blew my mind. We live in Ireland and there was a bad recession here recently. We needed to relocate, so my husband and I decided on Australia. He was working very hard towards his accreditation as a lawyer there and was eventually successful. He traveled to Australia to get his paperwork and formalize his credentials. During the time he was there, I started using Manifesting 123. I was doing my Movie as you recommended in the book and I was using the technique of being in my future. In my future, my husband had his job in Australia and we were happily living in the city there. I didn’t put any limitations on what that city would be. During my husband’s first trip to Australia, he was very happy. He called to tell me how great everything was there. I got the idea that he should contact the person that offered him a job there last year. He couldn’t practice law there last year, but now he can. A very positive contact was made and it was suggested that we needed to visit and see what it was like. I started to think how wonderful it would be to have a holiday with my husband and discover Australia together. So in April we flew there. It was just like I imaged in my movie! We saw the opera house from our boat in Sydney harbor. Wonderful! Later we traveled to the place where the job was offered. We didn’t like it as much since it was too far from the larger cities. We flew back home and waited to see what would be offered. Once I was back home, I stared to think that the best place to live is in my country. That is what I really wished for. I’m from a Latin-American country and that just feels best. I put the change into the future Movie I was manifesting. Guess what? After five Skype interviews, the person in Australia did not want to offer the right visa for us. It was a relief. I had times of doubt but I kept listening your interviews and using the simple Manifesting 123 techniques. Recently I added that in my future I imagined 10,000 euros was mine. It had come to me somehow and I was so grateful! So what happened next? This weekend my mother called, telling me that she sold some land and she was going to give me money from the sale. How amazing and funny at the same time. The amount of money is in pesos, not in euros, but it has a lot of zeros!! I’m stilling working on moving to that best place to live, my own country. Of course I’m being grateful for all I have now. Thanks Ken, talk to you again soon, Martha Everything doesn’t happen all at once, or does it? As Martha manifested the thing, it started to appear. Since your thoughts literally begin to form the target concept as you think them, then you can expect to see results. ALL of your concepts are forming and some will arrive sooner than others, it’s just that simple. In Martha’s case, she had a change of mind about Australia and shifted the destination in her Movie. The change went in and the new location is becoming more and more real every time she views it in her future. The concept of this new location has a few moving parts, so to speak, but be assured that it is going to manifest in her world if she works it just once a day. I love the part about the pesos coming in. It’s a great confirmation that she is making things happen. It makes me wonder – are all those pesos to getting what she requires in that Latin-American country? Your turn next!
