Preface to the 1stbooks.com Edition I wrote most of what you are about to read in 1999, when I first issued this book as a private gift to only 35 people.

When I first wrote this book and described the car of my dreams, the car of my dreams at that time was a Saturn.

I've now upgraded my dream and my car.

I've never in my life had so much fun driving!!!

As I grew in my life, and became more bold about going for my dreams, I also naturally wanted a different vehicle.

I was led to the Z3, which symbolizes the major changes in my life.

And it is a hoot to drive, as well!

You truly can have anything you can imagine.

When I first wrote this book, I was still married to Marian, who I had been with for more than twenty years.

Since then we decided we had grown apart.

There was nothing negative about the experience or the decision at all.

I decided to look for another partner.

I found one, too, in Nerissa, who I am deeply in love with.

I'm still friends with Marian, and both are now in my heart.

Major changes in life can truly be easy and effortless.

When I first wrote this book, I made a goal that I wanted passive income.

I wanted money to come to me easily and effortlessly, always, consistently, no matter where I was or what I was doing.

I was then led to meet Mark Joyner, CEO of Aesop Marketing, who asked if he could put one of my books online as an e-book.

But I gave him "Hypnotic Writing," a manuscript I wrote many years ago.

Mark put it online, marketed it, and the sales blew my socks off.

Even now, seven months after the book went online at http://www.Hypnotic Writing.com, orders keep coming in.

Since there is no book to print, stock, or mail, all the money is passive income.

Every month I receive a check, sometimes for staggering amounts.

I know that when you set an intention, you set the forces of life to bring it to you, and you to it.

When I first wrote this book, I was living in Houston.

After I met Nerissa, I moved to Austin.

I then began the process of manifesting our dream home.

After a few months, we found a beautiful two-acre, two-story, Hill Country property with wandering wild deer and rabbit, and an outside pool, between Austin and San Antonio, in a small spiritual-artistic community called Wimberley, Texas.

Finding this home was a matter of having a clear image of what I wanted while following every intuitive impulse I had.

I just sat down with Nerissa and talked to her about the on-going miracles in my life.

"It happens to you all the time," she said.

She mentioned that just the other day I wanted to book us a flight to Ohio to see my family.

I simply expected to get a better deal while being willing to accept the going fare.

When I called the airline back, they told me I had enough frequent flyer miles to get both tickets for just over one hundred dollars.

And Nerissa reminded me of the time I wanted to complete my collection of rare books by P.T. Barnum.

But my intuition said not to pay the high price the book seller was asking.

A few days later the book seller lowered his price.

And she reminded me of the time I looked for one book for nearly seven years and couldn't find it.

But then one day, simply following my intuition, I walked right up to my friend at a yoga class.

I found her without breaking a sweat.

Nerissa also reminded me to to tell you what happened just yesterday, while writing this very preface.

I was reading a book by Lester Levenson, the founder of the Sedona Method, just yesterday morning.

The best definition of the word "law" that I have ever found in my close to forty years of fun-filled research came from Dr. Thurman Fleet.

The second you feel doubt creeping into your mind, pick up this little book and read a few pages.

I never wanted to publish this book or make it available to a wide audience.

I wrote this book for one person: My sister.

Bonnie had three kids, was unemployed, and was on welfare.

It hurt me to see her suffer.

I knew her life could be different if she knew the five step process I developed for creating whatever she wanted.

I wrote this material for her, and only for her, in 1997.

She's now off welfare and doing fine.

She's not rich yet, but I think I've shown her a new way to live life.

I never wanted to make this book public because I was nervous about how the world would perceive me.

I've written ten books so far, for such well known and conservative organizations as the American Marketing Association and the American Management Association.

I also have an audiotape program with Nightingale-Conant.

So I played it safe and kept this book a secret.

But in June, 1999 I felt the inner urge to give a copy of the manuscript to this book to Bob Proctor, at the beginning of one of his Science of Getting Rich seminars.

There were 250 people in that seminar in Denver.

Bob stood before them and read off all of my book titles, and then introduced me to the crowd.

They treated me like a celebrity and I loved the attention.

But then Bob told everyone about my new book, my unpublished book, about this book.

And then Bob told them the title to it: Spiritual Marketing.

There was such a hush throughout the crowd that chills went up my spine.

Not only did people favorably react to the book, but they all wanted it, and now.

At least fifty people came up and said they wanted to buy the book.

Bob Proctor later said he wanted to record it.

And one publisher in the seminar said he wanted to publish the book, sight unseen!

My concerns about publishing this book vanished.

I could see that the timing was right to release these ideas, and I saw that I would be safe in doing so.

As with most things in life, there's little to be afraid of and wealth and glory await right around the corner.

All you have to do is step forward and do the things you're being nudged from within to do.

Bob Proctor nudged me in front of 250 people.

I was standing in a line of 700 people in a hotel in Seattle, waiting to spend a day listening to an author and spiritual teacher.

"I do energy work," the woman beside me replied.

"Let me ask you a question," I began.

"There are over 700 potential clients here for you.

Why don't you at least have business cards?"

A woman beside her smiled and told her, "You were just hit by an angel."

But I was curious why this business woman was missing a huge marketing opportunity.

As I talked to a few more of the 700 people at this event, I realized all of these people were in business for themselves.

And they all needed help in marketing themselves.

That's when it dawned on me that I could write a concise handbook on spiritually based marketing.

American Marketing Association, and I have over fifteen years of experience in metaphysics and spirituality.

I've interviewed many new age spokespeople and have had some of them as my clients.

Besides, I had already created and tested a secret five-step process for manifesting anything you wanted.

I seemed like the best voice for a book on marketing with spirit.

I also knew that those 700 people at the seminar represented a still larger group of people who need help with their businesses.

I further knew that they were all doing something inside themselves that was creating their outer results.

In other words, their inner state of being was creating their business, or lack of it.

Said more simply, the woman who didn't have a business card had an inner insecurity about her business that showed up in her life by her not having business cards.

clear about her business, she wouldn't even need business cards.

Her inner spirit would do her marketing.

I've learned that we are human beings, not human doings.

When you reach a clear inner state of being about your service to the world, the world will come to you.

Therapist, author and my dear friend Mandy Evans says confusion is that wonderful state of mind right before clarity.

He ended his book by asking the President of the Argentine Republic why South America, with all of its natural resources and wonders, was so far behind North America in terms of progress and marketing.

He was given a certificate saying he was incurably blind, and yet today he sees, he reads, he writes, he drives a car---and he has helped hundreds of people regain their vision, as well.

I spent time with Barry and Suzi Kaufman at their Option Institute and saw and heard of miracles there.

Today he lives as an above average, happy, successful adult.

Recently I've been working with Jonathan Jacobs, a man called "the healer's healer" because his track record for helping heal people is so stunning that doctors are referring their own patients to him.

I've seen Jonathan take people with everything from money problems to back injuries to cancer, and help heal them, often in a single session.

I pay every bill that arrives, when it arrives, and I never experience lack.

When Kirk and his team land on a planet to check it out before sending the rest of the crew down for some much needed rest and relaxation, they begin to experience odd events.

That's the foundation to the five-step process I'll describe in this book: Knowing that life can be different for you, and that life itself will support you in what you want.

"Man is a magnet, and every line and dot and detail of his experiences come by his own attraction."

Select what you would like to have, do, or be.

If you realize you can have anything, be anything, or do anything, then the question becomes: What do you want?

The trick is in turning every one of your complaints around to something you DO want.

Start focusing on where you want to go, not on where you were or where you are.

I don't want this headache becomes "I want a clear head."

I don't want this back ache becomes "I want a strong back."

"I don't want these bills" becomes "I want more than enough money for everything I desire."

"I don't want to struggle in my business" becomes "I want business to come to me easily and effortlessly."

There's an art to rewriting what you don't want into what you do want.

All I do is write the opposite of my complaint.

would be, "I want to write in a place that is safe, quiet and without interruptions."

You're probably wondering what this has to do with anything.

Why write these sentences if they won't help you pay the bills or heal your problems or anything else?

The answer: Refocusing on what you do want will take you in the direction of what you want.

You see, we seem to create our lives out of our perceptions.

If we focus on lack, we get more lack.

If we focus on riches, we get more riches.

Our perception becomes a magnet that pulls us in the direction of where we want to go.

If you don't consciously select where you want to go, you go where your unconscious wants you to go.

To paraphrase the famous Swiss psychologist Carl Jung, "Until you make the unconscious conscious, it will direct your life and you will call it fate."

In that regard, most of us are on auto-pilot.

We simply haven't realized that we can take the controls.

Knowing what you want helps you aim your life in the direction you want to take it.

But there is a little more to it....

I just had lunch with a delightful friend of mine.

She had a session with Jonathan last week and she was still glowing.

Her eyes were large and alive, full of passion for life.

She reminded me that even though you may think you know what you want, you may have to probe deeper to discover what you really want.

She had gone to see Jonathan with the intention of creating a successful business for herself.

After dodging the question for a while, she realized that she wanted a successful business "to prove I am a worthwhile person."

I remember saying I wanted to write books that were colossal best sellers.

Jonathan asked me that same famous question, "For what purpose?"

At first I squirmed and said things like, "I deserve it" or "I want the money" or "My books are good enough for it."

But the real reason, the underlying motivating factor, was that I wanted best selling books "so people would love and admire me."

When I said it, I felt a shift within myself.

I knew I had reached the real thing I wanted.

My goal, my intention, was to feel love.

Most people live their entire lives being driven by an unconscious, unacknowledged need for something.

The politician may be a child who never got enough attention.

The business woman may be a youngster who doesn't feel equal to her peers.

The best selling author may still be trying to prove he's smart, or lovable, or admirable.

Freedom and power come from knowing what you want without being a prisoner to what you want.

But there's another reason for knowing and stating your intention.

When you declare it, you begin to discover all the things in the way of it happening.

You may say you want to pay off your house so you are free of those big payments, but suddenly here come all of the objections: "I don't make enough money to pay off my house," or "No one ever does that!", to "What will my parents think?"

It's easy to come up with objections.

The trick is to dissolve those objections until you are clear inside.

A woman went to see Jonathan because she was going to have a cancer operation on Monday.

The woman believed she could remove the beliefs that were causing her fear, and she did.

He will continue to marry and divorce and marry until he removes the underlying beliefs that cause the events to happen.

And while he continues to marry and divorce, he will blame other people for his problems, and maybe even blame fate, or God.

That swings back to what I was talking about earlier, that you can then restate your complaints so they become goals or intentions for you.

There's nothing wrong with stating something like, "I want to weigh 120 pounds, own a brand new Corvette, and have fifty thousand dollars in the bank, by this coming Christmas."

So I put him on a small leash.

But I felt guilt for keeping this wonderful friend on a three foot leash.

I bought a longer leash, six feet of freedom, and put it on Spot.

We need a "miracles coach" to help us see that in reality we have no limits.

The first time I had a session with Jonathan I didn't know what to expect.

"Breathe the color red through the top of your head and imagine it going through your body and out of your feet."

Wisconsin and continue my research by looking at the private papers of Bruce Barton at the historical museum.

Shortly after that first session with Jonathan I began to notice other changes in my outer life.

The book I had been working on began to take direction.

I found the money to complete my research.

I had invited the other side to help me, and it did.

As I write these words, I'm very aware that you may think I've lost my mind.

After all, here I am, an adult, an author, a fairly well known speaker and marketing specialist who advises business executives about their work, talking about "spirits."

But I also know that you know what I mean.

Even the most atheistic among us has been touched by the miraculous, the uncanny, or the unexplainable.

While no one knows what awaits on the other side of this life, we all tend to believe something intelligent is there.

Maybe it's worth mentioning that the book that helped me the most here was What Can A Man Believe?

In it he explained that there was little proof for heaven after earth, but that it was far wiser to believe than not believe.

In other words, while I can't prove that angels and guides are standing ready to help you, isn't it a much more delicious and comforting and magical thought to believe in them then to not believe in them?

There's no concrete evidence to support them or deny them.

But when you can use the belief in them to create miracles, wouldn't you be wise to do so?

Yesterday a friend of mine called and said she wanted to believe in guides and angels and teachers from the spiritual side of life, but a part of her doubted they existed.

"If I had to go into a court of law and prove I had spirit guides, they would laugh me out of the courthouse.

There's no proof for them, but also there's no proof against them."

And then I remembered something I had read in a recent issue of Reader's Digest, where Larry Dossey talked about prayer.

He said praying helped people recover from illness.

In many cases they recovered from what Doctors had said were "incurable" illnesses.

What these successful patients did was pray.

Even the patients admitted they didn't know if the prayers were answered, but it was the belief in the praying and the act of praying that helped them anyway.

Again, as Barton pointed out, it is wiser to believe than not to believe.

Barton wrote this passage in 1927, in his book What Can A Man Believe?

I've always loved it as it seems to stir the very something he talks about within me.

"In every human being, whether emperor or cowboy, prince or pauper, philosopher or slave, there is a mysterious something which he neither understands nor controls.

may be so repressed that the man supposes it is dead.

open grave; or there comes an hour when he clings with desperate instinct to the wet rail of a storm-tossed boat, and suddenly out of the forgotten depths of his being this mysterious something leaps forth.

It over-reaches habit; it pushes aside reason, and with a voice that will not be denied it cries out its questionings and its prayer."

So let's assume you don't have access to Jonathan (though you can reach me, and other healers and mentors by emailing the people in the back of this book).

Focus on what you want, and make one of your intentions finding someone to help you clear yourself of old beliefs so you can create the life you want.

State your intention to the world and allow it to come to you.

I feel it's important to have support from a mentor.

It's too easy to fall back into the old way of thinking, to feel sorry for ourselves and play the role of victim.

The vast majority of your current friends probably won't support your desire to create miracles.

When I first started seeing Jonathan, I would visit him once a month.

saw that we needed to stay in touch at least once a week.

Me and Jonathan made a pact that said, "Whenever I'm not clear, I am to call him."

Then, whenever I let something in life throw me for a tailspin, I would call him.

Another woman recently asked me what it meant to "get clear" with my beliefs.

I thought about it for a while before I could answer.

The image that came to me was of a football team.

If one of those players is hurting, upset, feeling neglected, angry because the coach overlooked him earlier or his girlfriend dumped him, that one player can jeopardize or sabotage the entire team's success.

You are like the whole football team.

If all parts of you, all of the beliefs inside of you, are in alignment, no problem.

But if any part of you, any belief in you, doesn't support your intention, it will jeopardize or sabotage you.

That's why you may have had lousy luck at love, romance, money or health.

Some part of you doesn't want it.

How do you know if you are clear right now?

Think of something that you want to have, do, or be.

If your answer is something negative, you aren't clear.

If you say anything except an honest "I know it's on the way to me," you probably aren't clear inside with what you want.

Beliefs cause stress, not your business or life situations.

"There's what happened to you in your life and then there's what you decided it meant," says Evans, author of Travelling Free: How to Recover from the Past by Changing Your Beliefs.

Linda's eyes widened and her face lit up.

I'm now driving the fourth new car of my dreams thanks to Jonathan's magic in helping me get clear with my desire.

I called Jonathan because of my fear of car salespeople (I had been one once and knew of their tactics).

Mentally a thread would loosen and I'd hear a belief: "You can't afford a new car."

Had I gone to buy a new car when I was still carrying limiting beliefs about what I could have afforded, my beliefs would have sabotaged my purchase.

"Money is a natural manifestation of the universe."

"I don't have to work hard for my money."

You see, the beliefs you have were given to you when you were a child.

You can choose to let go of the beliefs you don't want, and you can choose to replace the beliefs with ones that better serve you.

Isn't that a wonderful feeling---to know that you can now create your life the way you want it to be?

Clearing beliefs can be an easy process.

The easiest time I ever had was when I wanted to overcome my sinus allergies.

I had suffered terrible sinus infections and sinus headaches for years.

I can't begin to describe how miserable they made me feel.

Then one day I asked my dear friend Mrs. Kathy DeMont, a Remote Healer, if she would try to help me.

We were having dinner and I looked her in the eye, slammed my fist on the table, and said, "I don't want relief.

But she also realized how sincere I was and how much pain I had been in.

She said she would try to help.

She went home, got quiet, and used her skills to clear my body.

I was not present as she did this.

wasn't even aware that she did anything.

But within a few days I noticed that I could breathe again.

I called her and asked what she had done.

"You had some negative energy in you and I scared it off," she said.

Apparently, she was able to use her remote healing skills to clear my beliefs and my energy from a distance.

Talk about making things easy for me!

This one still amazes me, because it happened to my wife and I saw the dramatic change.

Marian never learned to drive a car.

I was her chauffeur for more than 15 years.

But after seeing my changes with my work with Jonathan and other healers, Marian wondered if she could get clear about driving.

Marian remembered being a little girl and being in the back seat of her Mom's car as her Mom learned how to drive.

Marian picked up on that energy and locked onto it.

While Marian went on to grow up, the little girl who sat in the back seat of her Mom's car remained alive in her.

As an adult, that little girl kept Marian from driving.

Under Jonathan guidance, Marian was able to remember that experience and release it.

She realized it was an old memory and it no longer served her.

And today Marian drives her own car---a new one, to boot---and she loves it.

I remember one night there was a terrible storm in Houston with lots of flooding.

I was worried about my wife and how she would handle the weather.

When she got home late that night, I ran to the garage to greet her.

She rolled down her window and said, "I had an adventure!"

Even being stuck in traffic is something Marian now feels grateful for.

She simply sits there and listens to music.

And one day we went to lunch in separate cars.

After it, I was behind her at a stop light.

I saw her moving her lips and tapping her fingers on the steering wheel.

Then I pulled up closer and realized she was singing and taping her fingers to the music!

During the writing of this book, Marian was in a bad car accident.

She was hit by a van, and hit hard enough to break the back axle on her car.

Despite the shock of it all, Marian was fine, though her car wasn't.

Now here's the juicy part: Two days later Marian was ready to rent a car and start driving again.

I told her I was proud of her, that many people are too nervous to drive so soon after an accident.

Marian just looked at me, smiled, and said, "Why?

Driving is too much fun not to do it!"

Jonathan has a saying, "It's all energy."

What he means is that we are energy systems.

If we are clear, the energy moves in one direction.

You are spending $50 to keep that energy alive in you.

Another saying Jonathan has is "The energy you give out is the results you get."

My dear friend Karol Truman, author of the great book Feelings Buried Alive Never Die, put it this way: "It's the continual suppression of unresolved feelings and emotions that cause the problems we experience in our lives."

Nothing exists but energy formed into things we then name, like tables, chairs, houses, cars, people.

One day a client of mine hired me to be his marketing wizard.

"The key word is trust," Jonathan pointed out.

He'll have you look at your own life to see how what you are complaining about is relevant.

I closed my eyes and did so.

trusting that you will get what you want, as long as you aren't attached to how it comes to you.

I felt like the release was there.

And when I got home there was a message from-- my client!

After six months of nothing, suddenly a call!

He was very polite, very friendly, and said he was mailing me a four-figure check.

He did, too, as I received it the next day.

I feel only a fool would call that experience a coincidence.

The connection is too obvious, and happens to me too often, to blow over as mere chance.

As Jonathan says, it's all energy and we're all connected.

Clean the energy pathways and you can have, do, or be anything you want.

If you feel that you have cleaned your energy circuits and are free from the past and yet you aren't making money or miracles or anything else, then you haven't cleaned your energy circuits or gotten free from the past.

This happened to me a few years ago.

After doing several sessions with Jonathan by phone, I realized that my income wasn't increasing.

money was arriving just in the nick of time to pay them, but it was too close for my comfort.

My worry was evidence that I had some unfinished business to clear up.

I wanted to contact Jonathan, but he was not available.

Then one day Bill Ferguson offered to give me one of his sessions.

Bill is a former divorce attorney who has created a way to help people release the key core issue that sabotages their lives.

He's been on Oprah, and he's written several books, including Heal the Hurt that Runs Your Life.

I was helping Bill with his publicity and he wanted me to experience what he does.

When he said I could have a session with him, I accepted.

Now that I have had it, I would have been willing to pay anything for it.

"People are starving to learn how to find peace," Bill told me when I went to his Houston suite.

"But they keep looking outside of themselves and blaming people or circumstances for how they feel.

He asked me to think about a recent event that pushed my button.

who didn't agree with my ideas on how to promote his business.

"Note that how you felt had nothing to do with the other person.

All the person did was reactivate your hurt by pushing the right button.

Once you disconnect the hurt, your hot button for emotional pain won't be there.

"Every one of us has a hurt from the past that runs our life," Bill added.

"For one person, the hurt is failure.

For another, it's the hurt of feeling worthless, not good enough, not worth loving, or some other form of not feeling okay with who they are."

He added that avoiding these feelings creates emotional pain.

"Until a person releases the core issue, it will continue to operate," Bill told me.

"You could be ninety years old and still recreating painful experiences because of a core belief you accepted when you were six."

While many psychotherapies believe people have unresolved past issues, few claim they can be healed quickly.

Bill developed a new technology that helps people release their emotional pain---and in under two hours.

might say he has created a way to achieve "push button healing."

"Pick another event where you were upset," Bill told me.

While I hadn't thought about it before, I suddenly began to see a pattern.

Almost every time I was upset with someone, it was because I felt insulted.

"What does it mean that you feel insulted?"

After a moment, I realized it meant that I didn't feel good enough.

I must not be good enough, went my logic, because these people don't like what I am doing and I end up being insulted.

Now Bill started to rub my nose in it.

"How's it feel to not be good enough?"

By now I was feeling like life itself wasn't worth living.

While I could look at my life and clearly find evidence that I was good enough, I had to admit that I wasn't good enough in all areas.

And I had to further admit that this belief that I "wasn't good enough" was unconsciously causing me to be upset with clients and friends.

Now that the core belief was disconnected, I had opened the energy centers in me to allow the abundance of the universe to flow my way.

In Wayne Dyer's book, Manifest Your Destiny, he says if you aren't manifesting what you want, there probably is an absence of love somewhere in your inner world.

Forgiveness is the best way I know for getting clear by yourself.

On the first sheet describe the negative condition you are in.

Take the second sheet and begin to write out how you want the situation or condition to be.

Describe the situation the way you want it to be, and paint this wonderful picture so completely that you can feel it as you write it.

Just as you wanted to experience the negative emotion so you could release it, you now want to experience the positive emotion so you can create a new picture to anchor in your subconscious.

The method involves a simple script that you say out loud to release a belief or a feeling you no longer want, and to replace it with something you prefer.

I learned it from my friend Karol Truman, author of the truly amazing book, Feelings Buried Alive Never Die....

Spirit, please locate the origin of my feeling/thought of feeling negative about (Insert the feeling or belief you want to release here) _____________________________.

Thank you, Spirit, for coming to my aid and helping me attain the full measure of my creation.

power away to anyone, you are spending your own energy in their direction.

One of the most powerful energies you can ever experience is gratitude.

Feel gratefulness for anything and you shift the way you feel.

Feel thankful for your life, your lungs, your home, this book; it doesn't matter.

Once you feel grateful, you are in an energy that can create miracles.

I remember going to see him when I was broke and depressed.

One of the first things he did was guide me into realizing that I had plenty in my life.

When you compare your own life to that of people living in third world countries, you quickly see that you are living like a King or Queen.

You probably have food, water, and shelter, as well as a refrigerator, a television, a radio, and probably a computer.

Realize you are blessed with enormous abundance right now, feel grateful for it, and you will attract even more abundance.

My friend Jonathan Morningstar once cured himself of a terrible illness with a simple one line statement of gratitude.

Then he felt inspired to write down one simple but potent sentence that he repeated every hour, recorded on audiotape and played back to himself, and wrote on signs which he hung around his home.

He made this one liner part of his very being.

And within twenty-four hours, Jonathan was healed.

What was the one line he used?

"Thank you God for all the blessings I have and for all the blessings I am receiving."

I'm not a scientist so I won't pretend to explain how this works.

Somehow your energy sends off signals that attract more of what you are sending off.

Like the child who unconsciously says he's a victim, you send off signals that attract what you are getting.

Change your signals and you will change your results.

Change your energy and you will change what you experience.

"The energy you give out is the results you get."

Just start feeling sincerely grateful for what you have.

Look at your hands, or this book, or your pet, anything you feel love and gratitude for.

That's the energy that can help you manifest whatever you want.

Another energy you want to experience is the energy that comes from imagining what it will feel like to have, be, or do the thing you want.

Imagine how good it will be to have what you want, to be what you are wanting, to do what you dream.

Feel the electrifying feelings that come with the images.

These feelings can create the life you want.

Somehow those feelings lead you, guide you, direct you to do the things that will make the events.

Until one is committed, there is hesitancy, the chance to draw back, always ineffectiveness.

the ignorance of which kills countless ideas and endless plans: That the moment one definitely commits oneself, then providence moves, too.

All sorts of things occur to help one that would never otherwise have occurred.

A whole stream of events issues from the decision, raising in one's favor all manner of unforeseen incidents and meetings and material assistance which no man could have dreamed would come his way.

Whatever you can do or dream you can, begin it!

Boldness has genius, power, and magic in it.

I was in Seattle once to see friends.

One night I turned on the television and caught the ending of a fascinating Larry King interview with the famous actor and singer, Andy Griffith.

He said something unknowingly metaphysical when he talked about a director who told him: "The camera is just a machine.

It picks up what you give it.

All you have to do is think something, and feel it, and the camera will record it."

They then cut to a scene from the movie Griffith was referring to, when he was to look at a woman with a heart full of lust.

You could tell from the actor's eyes that he was projecting thoughts that were pretty hot.

Larry King later said, "It was one of the most X-rated looks in movie history."

The universe is like the movie camera.

Think something and feel something and the universe will pick it up and project it.

The advice Andy Griffith was given as a young actor is advice I want to give to us: When you know what you want, all you really have to do is think it and feel it.

The universe---the spirit of all that exists---will pick up your signal and project it.

When Jonathan and I practiced this, our energy levels shot skyward.

When I lived in the dump I could barely afford to pay rent for, the electrical system there fried.

Jonathan and I were having lunch at a favorite Chinese restaurant one day when I noticed there was hardly anyone in the place.

"I said those people look worried about money and you said that's why they're worried about money.

By their not listening to me, they have almost guaranteed that the seminar will fail.

One wonderful technique to help you in this area is called scripting.

I first heard of this method from Jerry and Esther Hicks.

It's worth mentioning right here that your business cards, letterhead, flyers, sales letters, and ads---everything you produce or hire someone to produce to market your business---all carry your energy in them.

When I wrote a sales letter for a software product that I totally believed in, I got staggering results.

Another example is the flyer I received to attend a workshop in Seattle.

One day I was having dinner with Jerry and Esther Hicks and a friend.

Jerry and Esther have hired me to write their ads because they know I believe in their work.

something about her ads that made them memorable.

"Advertising is important," Sandra once told me.

"But it's the energy you put in the ads that does the work.

It's really the law of attraction at work."

Again, who you are inside creates the results you get outside.

Even your marketing pieces carry your energy.

Get clear, feel the energy of what you want to do, be or have, and you will naturally go in the direction of manifesting what you want.

When I was in Australia in May, 1999, I learned that many seeds don't open up and grow unless they are first burned.

In the human body, you open your seeds of desires with the heat of emotion.

Whenever you feel love or fear, two very strong emotions, you are turning up the heat.

That heat reaches your deeper mind and opens the seed, the image, of what you want.

How you do that is through feeling.

The point of this step is that you must joyfully feel the energy of the thing you want to do, be, or have.

Murphy wrote in his little book, How to Attract Money, "The feeling of wealth produces wealth."

Feel the joy of having what you want---feel it right now---and you will begin to pull it to you and you to it.

"The whole process of mental, spiritual and material riches may be summed up in one word: Gratitude."

Years ago I discovered that most of us, myself included, don't like to let go and allow because there's nothing for us to grapple with.

Most of us feel that if we can't get in there and fight and struggle, we don't feel like we're accomplishing anything or getting anywhere.

The struggle gives a sense of accomplishment.

The ego gets a big rush out of struggle.

The ego gets to feel that it is doing something worthwhile.

If your ego needs a pat on the back, let it struggle for some of the things that you desire.

But the truth is, you don't have to struggle at all.

Again, it can be another way...an easier way.

I used to teach a class called "The Inner Game of Writing."

It was modeled after the work of Tim Gallwey, who wrote The Inner Game of Tennis and co-authored several other "inner game" books.

personalities so much as aspects of our mind.

Gallwey called it Self One and Self Two.

Self One can be likened to your ego, the part of you that wants to control.

Self Two can be likened to the inner master within you, the part of you that is connected to all things.

The job of Self One is to select what you want and let go.

The job of Self Two is to bring it to you.

Gallwey learned that when people learned to let go and trust, they got what they wanted more often than not, and it came much easier than if they fought for it.

The same concept works in your life.

Choose what you want and let God or the Universe (whatever that means to you) bring it to you.

Let it orchestrate the events that will manifest the thing you desire.

Give up needing to know how you will manifest anything.

If you choose to manifest something but can't consciously see a way to create it, you may give up.

The conscious mind can't see all of the possibilities.

Surrender control and you free the universe to bring you whatever you want.

Then let me tell you a story...

When I was working on my book, The Seven Lost Secrets of Success, I was obsessed.

I spent two years of my life on a mission to pay homage to Bruce Barton, a man who influenced our country but somehow fell through the cracks of history.

One day I received a call from a medical Doctor in west Texas.

He wanted to hire me to ghostwrite a book for him.

While I was reluctant, going to see him felt like the right thing to do.

I finally decided I should fly up to see him, and that I should present some material to him.

So I made a flight reservation and started writing his book.

"You mean he's been in jail BEFORE?!"

When I signed a contract with the Doctor, I was given a large sum of money.

Again, when you know what you want and are clear, you will be drawn to the thing you want and events will pull it to you.

He's written several books, including the famous Self-Publishing Manual.

Dan also conducts weekend seminars in his home on how to self-publish and market your own book.

He's been offering this seminar for over ten years, has helped hundreds of people, but has always struggled to get people to register for the event.

While he didn't know it, "letting go" is a key step in the manifestation process.

I designed a flyer for Dan, he loved it, and he printed it.

"The seminar sold out two weeks ago and I only last week mailed out the new flyer.

The following story reveals how my latest (and in many ways greatest) dream just came true.

It's all about the power of setting an intention and then letting go of it...

You can ask for whatever you want to do, be, or have, but also be willing for the universe to give you something better.

End all of your requests with the phrase, "This or something better" and you will be letting the universe know that "Thy will be done" is of highest importance.

Because the universe can see the big picture while your ego can't.

Your job is to ask for what you want, and then to act on the inner nudges you get to do things, like make phone calls, write letters, visit a certain person, or whatever.

Bob Proctor, in his wonderful book, You Were Born Rich, puts it this way: "Learn to follow the quiet voice within that speaks in feelings rather than words; follow what you 'hear' inside, rather than what others may be telling you to do."

The universe itself will act to move you to what you want, and move what you want to you.

All you have to do is let go, while acting on your inner prompts.

Let go of fear, doubt, worry, disappointment, and any other negative emotion that might make you feel low.

"Some things that don't happen keep disasters from happening."

What you're being asked to do is trust.

Trust that when something happens, it's good; and trust that when something you want doesn't happen, it's good, too.

Here's one final story on the subject of letting go...

I attended Bob Proctor's three day course called The Science of Getting Rich in Denver during June of 1999.

I urge you to take the course live if at all possible, or at least to invest in the home-study course.

There are so many things you'll get out of the material that where you are now will seem like poverty after you absorb the materials and become wealthy.

But one idea that I got from Bob's course that I want to give you right now is this quote: "Everything that happens in your life is moving you in the direction of your goals."

That statement says that everything, without fail, without exception, is moving you toward your dreams.

So if something happens that you feel is bad, remember that it happened to move you forward.

Your job is to find the positive in the negative, or at least to trust that there is a positive there, even if you can't see it at the moment.

This might be tough to accept, at first.

But the truth is, it is an enlightened way of living your life.

I love the statement and thank Bob Proctor for saying it.

What it tells me is that I have to let go and trust that life itself is taking me to the things I desire.

And as I let go, trust, and give thanks for my life, I feel different, I radiant a different vibration to the world, and better things and experiences come to me.

Again, the whole secret is in learning to simply let go.

"Everything that happens in your life is moving you in the direction of your goals."

"What's the hardest part to creating life the way you want it?"

I thought for a moment and replied, "Learning to stop figuring out how you will get what you want."

"If you try to figure out how you will get that new car, or that new house, or that new relationship, you'll limit yourself to what your ego can see and do," I explained.

"Turn your goal over to your unconscious, which is connected to the spirit of everything and everyone, and let it bring the goal to you and you to the goal.

Just follow your inner promptings and act on the opportunities that come your way, and you'll get there."

Well, I'm not sure if my friend understood what I was saying.

But a few days later I was sitting in a limousine, being driven to have dinner with eight wealthy, wonderful, self-made people.

All of these people started with nothing.

Many of them started as I had: With empty pockets and hope in their hearts.

As I sat in the limo, a part of me couldn't believe I was there.

"I'm in a beautiful limo, with beautiful people beside me, going to have a beautiful dinner that some other beautiful person is going to pay for.

I'm just a nobody kid from Ohio who left home to find fame and fortune.

I used to dig ditches, drive trucks, work in the dirt, the rain, and the heat, and for never enough money to pay my bills.

As I thought about it, I knew the secret was the five step formula I've revealed to you in this book.

3. Clear all negative or limiting beliefs.

4. Feel what it would be like to have, do, or be what you want.

Act on your intuitive impulses and allow the results to manifest.

Truth is, there's no "one way" to achieve anything in this world.

Some people get new cars by winning them, others by struggling to pay for them, others by happily paying for them, others by other means.

What I told my friend at lunch is the truth: You can't orchestrate the world to do your bidding.

Instead, state your intentions and let the world arrange itself to bring your goals to you.

I was in that limo because I didn't plan to be in it.

And when the limo pulled up, I got in.

Finally, I can't find any better way of ending this book then with this quote from Frances Larimer Warner, written in 1907.

Nearly every day I get a call, an email, or a letter from someone asking---"What happened to Jonathan?"

I called, met Ann by phone, and have been working with her ever since.

Books and tapes can keep your mind focused on the positive and help you keep going toward your dreams.
