An Introduction - Why I
wrote this book
We all have the innate ability to
manifest and create our own ability.
To manifest is to bring something from
the spiritual realm of the non-physical,
to the physical plane. It means bringing
into existence something we can see,
feel and touch with our five senses. Of
course, that also means something which
we can enjoy and savor with all our
physical senses.

There is a common misconception that

when something is on the spiritual or
non-physical plane, it is not real. If you
want to become a conscious, deliberate
manifestor, then it will help if you
remove this limiting belief from your
beliefs system. What is vividly imagined
or envisioned in the spiritual / non-
physical plane is JUST AS REAL as
something which is in the physical plane.
Until you realize this great Universal
truth that the ancient spiritual masters
throughout the ages have been telling us
and really have faith in it, you cannot
become a true and powerful manifestor.
For youll be constantly making
distinctions between what is manifest
in your life, and what is not yet
manifest in your life.

A master manifestor (in my definition)

is someone who is fully aware of his
creative and manifestation skills. I use
the word aware because the powers of
creation and manifestation are something
which we all have, but few of us
consciously use. Most in todays society
use it to create and perpetuate more lack.
Most use it unconsciously to create
situations which they do not want, and
then use those very same manifestative
powers to then get themselves out of
those situations! So in essence, life
becomes a series of games. It starts with
us using our power to create something
which we do not want, and then using
our power (out of sheer desperation) to
get us out of that situation and
wondering what landed us in that
unwanted situation in the first place!
 Until you see yourself as a conscious
creator, as an attractor of everything
that comes into your physical
experience, youll always feel yourself
to be powerless. Youll always ascribe
and prescribe circumstances, situations
and events in your life to external
causes. But there are no external
causes. Everything happens in and from
you, this has been the teaching of the
spiritual masters throughout the ages,
regardless of which book you pick and
read. But it is so difficult for most
people to get because it requires that one
takes TOTAL RESPONSIBILITY for
everything that happens in their lives.
 When people become lost or
confused, or when they feel that external
circumstances, events, things or
powers are dictating the flow of their
lives they tend to become
superstitious. They tend to believe in
external causes such as almanacs,
horoscopes, numerologies and other
divination tools. But how can you
believe in those mystical divination
tools and at the same time believe in the
power within yourself? They are
completely divergent in nature, and those
two opposing nature of beliefs cannot
possibly coexist together.

I have often been asked whether one

should believe in something like
numerology, or feng shui, or horoscopes
and almanacs. The truth is that NONE of
these matter when you are trying to
create your own reality. The spiritual
masters have told us, time and time
again, that the power is WITHIN us. It is
not in something that is outside of us.
Even positive psychology says this: That
when we ascribe power to something
that is outside of us (such as what an
ancient book says, or what an ancient
calendar says), then in essence we are
giving our power away. Were
admitting that we are powerless and that
something outside of ourselves (such
as the placement of my table) has power
over the results in my life.
 For some people, such a thought can
be liberating because it frees them of the
burden of being responsible. It frees
them from the need to be accountable.
Now they can blame something outside
of themselves instead of something
within themselves, such as a faulty
belief. They can say, Oh, my table or
bed was not positioned correctly,
therefore I had poor results in the past.
Now this very same individual may
experience miraculous results with feng
shui or any other kind of superstition,
because in so making that change he
or she has suddenly given himself
PERMISSION to succeed. He or she has
released all resistance and in that
moment, allowed the success he was
seeking to come to him.

Quantum Physics talks about the field

of potentialities and possibilities. This
field is completely unpredictable. It has
to be completely unpredictable and
completely open in order to truly contain
any possibility. If the field is
predictable, it would then tend towards
a certain fatalistic outcome and our
potentials or possibilities would
therefore be limited. However, we now
know that the Quantum field is unlimited
and literally put, anything is possible.
Since anything IS indeed possible, the
moment we ascribe a cause to
something, IT IS SO. The moment we
say something is the REASON for
something, IT IS SO because we
proclaim it to be so.

Therefore, people who are

superstitious and often looking for
external causes frequently say things
like, Oh, I woke up on the wrong side
of the bed today, therefore Now
recognize that when you say or even
think something, you are not saying those
words to a field of nothingness. You are
saying those words out loud to the
FIELD of quantum possibilities that
literally, surrounds you. It is just that our
five senses cannot accurately perceive
this field yet! So when you ascribe a
cause to something, and make up your
own reason for something it literally
becomes so! The belief becomes reality
in your world and literally perpetuates
itself.

Back to the question of whether lucky

charms and superstitions work - THEY
DO. They work exactly because of the
principles we have touched upon earlier.
They work because you PROCLAIM
them to work, thereby collapsing the
quantum field of possibilities (where
anything CAN happen) into a particular
outcome or certainty. From that
particular outcome or certainty, you then
attract and gravitate towards a
smaller subset of outcomes or certainties
until things line up exactly the way as
you imagined or intended them to be
enough for you to look at all the
evidence and say: See! I told you so!

So therefore if you have a strong,

underlying belief that wearing black is
unlucky and you believe in it strongly
It would be unwise for you to go against
it, for in your current belief system, you
have collapsed all the possibilities
(including one of black being lucky)
into a certain pre-destined outcome. And
your reality, events, and circumstances
from that point onwards will match that!
This is the role of lucky charms in your
life! If some spiritual master tells you
that buying a $5,000 statue or reciting a
particular mantra is good for you and
you trust him dearly, then you had better
do it because that is the way your
current belief system is set up. So is that
spiritual master right? Of course he is.
But is he telling you the whole truth,
that you can be free from him and free
from such crutches? Maybe not.

You can be free from all the crutches

and tools that bind you. You should only
use them when appropriate, as learning
aids along your journey. I use them as
learning aids along my journey, often
switching from one tool or meditation to
another, often with great results. But I am
not stubborn. I do not cling on to these
tools. I know it is not the tools that are
bring about the results but my
understanding and application of the
Universal principles that these tools are
helping me do. At the end of the day, it is
not even my understanding or
application that matters. It is up to the
Universe, more commonly known as
Gods grace. Everything happens by
grace, indeed.

We can affirm or set intentions and

wish for something so hard but if it is
not aligned with our highest good, it will
not appear in our lives. This is not being
Pollyannaish, but recognizing an
important and real spiritual truth. How
many times have you said, Thank God
that thing I asked for at age 16 did not
come true! Of course, it does not only
happen at age 16. But I am constantly
amazed by how a Higher Power always
knows better than I am, and I am at a
stage today where I can look at the
unmanifest things in my life and give
thanks for them. Today I understand that
everything is in my life for a reason, and
some things may come into my life at a
later time, or not at all.

Whatever it may be, I am at peace

with it all. And being at peace is the one
of the best feeling places one can
possibly be at. It is my intention in
writing this book, to help you be at
peace with wherever you are in life. For
it is only when you are truly at peace
(not feigned peace for the purpose of
some manifestation) where ironically,
things start to magically fall into place
and happen for you. It took me years and
years of practice to finally realize that
you can physically do all the steps and
rituals, but you cannot fool the Universe
(YOURSELF) one bit. The Universe
sees through all your thoughts and
feelings. So if youre going to do a
ritual, then do it with the purest and most
aligned of intentions. If you have the
purest and most aligned of intentions to
begin with, then no ritual is necessary.
No outside action is necessary. There is
truly nothing you need to do, in order
to be, do or have anything you want.

How this book came about has been

somewhat of a miracle. For weeks and
months, I had struggled with how best to
write and organize this book. I thought I
would write it in a systematic way,
covering as many common questions and
misconceptions as possible. But when I
tried to put my mind around the subject
matter, more things related to the topic
started to crop up and my conscious
mind said, Look, there is no way I can
possibly put a handle around all that!
So I decided to leave it to the Divine,
and up to the Universe. This is a very
important principle not only in
manifestation, but also for creating
everything else in our lives, for every
single moment of our life is a moment of
creation. Every moment is a moment of
manifestation. We are constantly molding
and forming and shaping energy, with
our thoughts, feelings, thoughts, words
and deeds so how should writing a
book be any different?

Just this morning I was in the shower,

and I suddenly had an inspiration to
write a book in this particular manner.
Forget about covering all the common
questions, forget about using a step-by-
step approach, forget about worrying or
trying to write the perfect book on
manifestations, my inner voice said.
Instead, write it in this way. Write it
like a hand book give the secrets as
you know them one at a time take
yourself out of the equation and IT IS
DONE!
 And with that, I trusted and started
writing
Secret 1: There Is No
"Fixed" Sequence For
Manifesting
There is no fixed sequence or way to
manifest anything. Our bookstores are
filled with books and audio
programmes, one after another, telling
you that they have discovered the latest
secret or techniques for manifesting
something. I used to buy in to all of
those, and you might have too. It took me
more than 10 years to finally realize that
the plain truth has been staring at me in
my face all the time: There is no fixed
sequence or series of steps for
manifesting anything. What works, is
what works for you. And the sequence is
different for every individual on the
planet, because it is unique.

It is funny but I have heard so many

Law of Attraction success and failure
stories. Some people tried the steps and
had instant, almost miraculous
manifestations. They hit the jackpot right
away! Some others try the same series of
steps and get nothing. I must not be
doing something right, they say, so they
buy more books and attend more
seminars in an attempt to find out where
they have gone wrong.

They have not gone wrong! All they

have done was to try out a series of
steps that did not work for them. And all
they have to do now is to find a series of
steps that works for them. Chances are,
the right manifestation sequence of them
is not going to be word-for-word,
something recommended by a teacher out
there. It is probably something they have
to experiment with to find out just the
right recipe for them.

I am constantly amazed by the

individual differences, and how much
uniqueness we bring to this planet. No
two individuals are the same! We all
have different preferences, we like
different foods, we even look different,
we have different sleeping habits So
why should all of us use the exact same
manifestation steps? Why should there
be only one RIGHT manifestation
techniques or even just a handful of
right techniques prescribed by the
gurus out there? The great spiritual
masters certainly didnt just teach a rigid
series of steps. Yes, they certainly had
broad principles that provided some
kind of a framework, but our individual
idiosyncrasies means that you have to do
some tweaking to find what works for
you.

I approach deliberate creation and

manifestation as somewhat of a game,
and not a chore. I do not keep score
based on how well I have followed all
the steps, because I know that the
suggested steps may not always work.
But I am open enough to try anything that
comes my way. So sometimes Ill add
things and change things around
according to my fancy, and then observe
the results. The results have been really
fascinating to me, and is positive proof
that all this stuff works.

For example, there have been many

instances in my life where I just had the
mere intention of having something. It
was more along the lines of, Wouldnt
it be nice if I had ____. Then I thought
nothing about it again and somehow,
going about my daily life doing the usual
things, those very things I had earlier
very lightly intended would come into
my life in the most harmonious way
possible.

I had wanted a mobile phone charger

for my car, as these latest smartphones
were always running out of battery
before the end of the day. (Isnt it nice
that these ancient manifestation
techniques always work and STILL
work in the age of smartphones?) Yet at
the same time, I was a bit daunted by the
prospect of having to drive to the store
and shop for one. I had shopped for
computer accessories before, and I knew
that I had some serious comparison to do
between the various brands and prices.
Therefore I just dropped the thought
completely. I did not agonize or worry
over how the mobile phone charger was
going to come into my life.

About a week later, my cousin invited

me to visit a car show. Normally I
would avoid places with large crowds,
but this time I felt a clear nudge and
instinct to go. Everything seemed to line
up and said Yes, yes, yes!, and so off I
went. I went despite rationally knowing
that there was nothing I needed there. At
the show, I bought a pair of excellent
windscreen wipers (at half off their
regular price!) and along with that
purchase was a free gift: a mobile phone
car charger! Two wishes fulfilled
without me having to do anything
extraordinary or go out of the way!
 I tell the above story to illustrate a
point. In this case, I did not religiously
go through all 3 or 5 steps of the
manifestation process. I did not write
down my desires and visualize them
fervently. I simply had a very light
intention, let it go completely and it
manifested in my life shortly after. I am
sure you can find many other similar
examples in your own life. If this is the
case, then it certainly means that you are
not only a masterful manifestor, but it
also means youre free from the need to
follow any sequence or series of steps!
Make up your own sequence and tweak
it as you go along. Life is meant to be
fun.
 Notice what has worked for you in the
past. For me, I notice that when I state
intentions in a certain way, things have
happened for me. And that when I state
intentions in another way, things do not
seem to happen so easily for me. So
what I do is that I take the first instance
and study it, to see what lessons I can
glean from it. I take all my successful
manifestations and ask myself - Whats
common about all of them? In asking
myself this question I focus on how I
was feeling at that time, not so much of
the things I did or the nature of objects
that manifested. I approach manifestation
scientifically, but I also maintain a
childlike and playful attitude to it.
Secret 2: It starts with an
intention...
Generally, there are a few principles
to adhere to when attempting to be a
deliberate and conscious creator. I will
basically outline these principles here.
While there are no rigid or fixed series
of steps to adhere to, there are a number
of very broad, universal principles that
Ive found to work for myself and
countless others. The reason why these
work is because they are aligned with
the laws of the Universe, and the basic
fabric of how things operate in our
Universe.

Broadly speaking, you always want to

start with an intention. An intention is
stating something you want, or a
statement or thought about something
which you want. Without an intention,
there is no inception or starting thought,
and consequently nothing happens. So
think of an intention as a starting point,
or a thought that sets into motion a series
of observable actions and events. This is
where free will comes in. We can set
an intention about anything. We can
desire anything. There is nothing too big
or small for us to desire, and we can
choose to have anything. There are
absolutely no limits or limitations,
because we do not even know what our
limits or limitations are!
 You can state an intention in ANY
way, but you do have to state it. Some
people do not put their intention in
words. They set an intention in terms of
their thoughts or feelings, or from
observing something, and the Universe
picks it up from there. One thing Ive
learnt is that the Universe is always
there for us, it is unfailing. You do not
have to worry about it being not
present in our lives, or that it missed
out on one of our intentions. Therefore
there is no need to state an intention over
and over again if youre clear and pure
about it. Just once is enough. Any
repetition is for your own conscious,
reasoning mind only.
 Some people find it easier to state
their intentions or desires formally in
words. For example, they may write or
say out loud: I intend _____. Everything
goes, and what works for you will be
unique to you. Some other people
leapfrog the saying or writing of
intentions and go on to demonstrate faith
through their actions, for example by
clearing up a space in preparation for a
new piece of furniture. Their action is
also an intention, as it signals their intent
for the new piece of furniture. The
Universe ALWAYS picks up on your
intention perfectly.

As with everything else in this book,

you are encouraged to find different
ways to state your intention. Some
people may find that nothing more than a
thought is necessary, as is certainly the
case with me for many of my
manifestations. At other times, more than
a thought may be necessary, and you may
find a need to say it out loud (once, or
more than once), or write it out, or even
go through a ritual where you state the
intention clearly. Bear in mind that no
matter what form or method you adopt,
only you know what works for you.
There is no right or wrong method here,
and be playful with it!
Secret 3: The intention must
be clear
The intention which you state must be
clear. It must not be muddled up and
bunched up with a whole lot of other
things at once. However, you can state
Universal, broader intentions and those
will work as well, as the Universe will
often fill in the details for you, even
better than you can imagine or envision.

Lets start by explaining what a clear

intention means. A clear intention means
working on one desired thing, object, or
outcome at a time. Working on multiple
intentions at the same time is often a
recipe for confusion and non-
manifestation. Therefore, if I want to
manifest or attract a new watch, then I
state the intention for that using the
means I have explained in the last
chapter. If you find that imagining
yourself wearing the new watch is the
best way for you to state your
intention, then you would imagine
yourself wearing the new watch and
feeling pleased and happy. That is
working on one single intention at a
time. If you find that writing down your
intention is the best way to get started,
then I would write: I intend a new
watch with leather strap. You can of
course, fill in the model number and the
brand as per your liking. That is stating
your intention clearly and succinctly. In
fact, it is the ONLY job you have to do
because the Universal Laws will take
care of things from now on.

Some people try to cram multiple

things into their intention statements,
like: I intend a new watch, a new dress,
and a new car. Anytime you have the
word AND in your intention
statements, you are making it difficult for
the Universe to fulfill your intentions
because now it has to be all three of
those things AT ONCE! On the other
hand, if you write three separate
statements, one for each item, youll
have much better success with them.

So experiment with stating clear

intentions, and start with small
intentions. There is no difference
between small and large intentions, and
Ive certainly had large intentions
manifesting very quickly and small
intentions taking more time. So the
perceived size of the intention is not
an issue. That is merely our own
perception and our limitation we have
placed on the matter. But for a start,
work with setting intentions that are
believable to you in your current realm
and in your current system of beliefs. In
the long term anything is possible, but
remember that in the short term, you still
have to work within your own system of
beliefs and possibilities, which have
been inadvertently limited by the choices
and beliefs you made in the past.

Practice stating intentions until they

are clear.
Secret 4: Getting rid of
automatic counter-
intentions
What do you do after you have stated
an intention clearly? You generally want
to make sure that there are no counter-
intentions, or that there are no negative
thoughts or feelings that contradict that
intention. This in itself takes practice
and is something people find difficult to
do.

People often ask me, Well, if

manifestation is really as simple as you
say, and we simply have to THINK
about what we want Why is it that
more people are not doing it? or Why
is it that we still have to work so hard?
Why doesnt everyone do it? You get
the idea.

The steps behind manifestation are

simple and easy in theory, BUT
understanding them and applying them
may take a lifetime because it requires
some serious inner work! As mentioned
earlier in my Introduction, the universe
and your inner self knows EXACTLY
how you feel at every moment. You may
be able to conceal your true feelings to
the outside world BUT you can never
fool yourself. Your inner self is aware of
how you feel about every subject, all of
the time.
 Heres where it gets tricky: When you
have a pure intention, all is well and
good. Things will manifest and happen
for you very quickly. For example, when
you set a pure intention to have a new
watch, things will line up and happen for
you very quickly once your intention is
pure. However, most people also
typically (and due to societal
conditioning) do one of these things
AFTER setting an intention:
Immediately, they worry HOW they are
going to get it. They worry that they are
not able to afford it. They worry about
whether they are doing the right things.
They worry about whether they deserve
it. All of these thoughts that come
immediately after you have stated your
initial intention and desires are ALSO
intentions as well! And theyll be picked
up by the Universe just as well, without
any discrimination.

The Universe does not discriminate

between good or bad thoughts. The
content of the thoughts do not matter, and
hence morality or ethics does not play a
part here. If you really desire something
bad to happen to someone, and you are
able to think that supposed bad thought
purely, then it will happen! The converse
is of course true. If you desire something
good to happen, and think it purely, it
will happen as well. Goodness or
badness are simply value judgments
we place on things.
 Therefore when you state an initial
intention, observe and be aware of all
the other counter-intentions that pop up
in your mind and that you feel
simultaneously. Do you feel any negative
thoughts or feelings concurrently? If you
do, those are going to be picked up and
acted on by the Universe as well. What
it means, of course, is that nothing
happens because they cancel each other
out! If you say: I want to have a new
car as your initial intention statement,
but then you non-verbally say BUT I
cannot afford it, notice what you
have just done! You have set 2 intentions
that are the exact opposite of one
another. The moment you set the first
intention, the Universe has acted on it
with precision. But then you had
countered it immediately with thoughts
or feelings of not being able to afford
it, and the Universe acted on that too!
Yes, you cannot afford it becomes the
reality which you create.

So things are really not as EASY or

SIMPLE as they seem. Manifestation
takes a lot of inner work, but hey, its
inner work that is fun to me and that Im
willing to take the time to do. You may
decide (and you have complete free
will) that you do not want to do the inner
work, that you do not want to improve
your deliberate creation skills and that is
completely alright as well.
 The key here is to train yourself to
state an intention purely, without any
negative or impure thoughts that may
taint it, as all of those feelings and
thoughts (as a whole) are also picked up
by the Universe. Therefore I encourage
you to start with something small, like
the case of the mobile phone charger.
The manifestation happened so quickly
and effectively for me because my
intention was very pure, and there were
no other negative or limiting intentions
for the Universe to pick up on. All it
picked up was my purest, cleanest
intention of having a mobile phone
charger! Had I gone on about how I
was unable to afford a mobile phone
charger, or that they were in limited
supply I would have thrown all of
those into the manifestation mix as well
which would then have to be sorted out.

What have you thrown into your

manifestation mix? Usually, the things
that we have been struggling for a long
time take such a long time precisely
because we have so much garbage
thrown into the manifestation mixed
bag! We have so many loaded desires
and intentions that tag along with the
original intention, whereas if we are
able to find a way to think of that
original intention purely, it will come
very fast.
 The great spiritual teachers Abraham-
Hicks say: Your vibration doesnt have
to be strong, it just has to be pure. You
dont have to think about something over
and over again. You just have to think
about it purely. You just have to not
contradict it with your own vibration.
Secret 5: The faster you let
it go, the faster it comes.
So what do you do after you have
stated an intention purely? Do you have
to keep repeating it? If you have read
until here, youll know there is nothing
more you have to do. Once is enough,
and your request is now acted upon by
the Universe with mathematical and
formulaic precision. I know, because I
have experienced it countless times in
my life, and Im sure you too, have a
deep understanding and recognition that
this is also true in your own life.

We mentioned in the previous

chapters that the Universe is impersonal.
The Universe does not care what you ask
for, or what thoughts you are thinking.
You may be thinking or rehearsing
positive thoughts, and the Universe picks
up and acts on them. All is then well in
your world. Or you may be rehashing
negative thoughts over and over again
with lots of feeling and emphasis. Guess
what, the Universe picks up and acts on
those as well! If the Universe is a
selective one and only chose to act on
our good thoughts, then we would be
limited in our options and thus not have
free will. We are all free to create,
within the boundaries and framework of
this space-time reality, whether what we
create brings us greater happiness, or
greater unhappiness. This is the ultimate
freedom.

Therefore do not wish that the

Universe only act on our positive
thoughts, neither should you wish that
you live in a Universe where negative
thoughts do not arise. The Universe
cannot, and does not choose for us.
Ultimately, we CHOOSE the thoughts
we think, and were free to choose from
a myriad of possibilities through
carefully selecting our thoughts. I see
negative thoughts as representing that we
have the ultimate freedom to choose,
create and explore. Its like how the old
saying goes, You can choose to be
unhappy, if that makes you happy!
 After you have thought or stated an
intention purely, the next step is to LET
IT GO. This is truly everything that you
have to do (that is your work) in the
manifestation and creative process.
Many people, especially rational,
scientific thinkers, in our society have
trouble with this. They cannot accept
something as happening without their
intervention, or something that happens
without their being involved in it.

If you wish to be a powerful

conscious creator, then you have to
accept that there is a portion of the work
that is done by you, and there is a
portion of the work that is done by
something that is greater than you. In
the previous chapters of this book, we
have already covered the portion of the
work that is done by you specifically:
You are needed in the process to decide
what do DO want. You are needed in the
process to choose, to clarify what you
do want, such that the intention is clear
and pure. Your permission is needed for
something to happen! And until then, the
Universe cannot act on it. You give this
permission by virtue of your thoughts,
words and deeds.

Now heres the part that is NOT your

work: Figuring out how to make
something happen is not your work.
Figuring how it will come to you is not
your work. Doing lots of physical action
to force something to happen is not
your work. The Universe is simply set
up this way and does not need your
physical help! It however, requires,
that you give your permission and set the
creative process into motion by
exercising your creative powers of
imagination and choice. This is what the
great spiritual teachers have been telling
us all along. Florence Scovel Shinn
(whom I greatly admire, and also wrote
additional modern explanatory texts for
one of her books) is big on using the
imagination to visualize and create,
because in so using your imagination,
you are calling upon your God-given
creative powers. ONLY YOU can
exercise those powers! In deciding what
you want in your life, you are exercising
those powers!

But after you have decided upon what

you want and how you would want it,
relax and let everything go. Dont even
think about it again. If you do think about
it again, think about it in a positive way,
as if the desire has already manifested.
See it as already true. One worry that
people always have is that if we do not
think about our desires over and over
again, they will not manifest! This cant
be further from the truth! Once is enough!
One clear and purely stated intention is
enough, and everything is done. You do
not have to keep repeating your
affirmations and desires over and over
again, unless of course, doing so helps to
purify your intention and reduce any
feelings of resistance.

A common pitfall of most people is

that they frequently visualize, or write
down affirmations over and over again,
to the point of sheer desperation. These
people are TRYING TOO HARD!
Conscious manifestation is not so
difficult, and while it takes a lot of inner
work, it does not involve writing out
your affirmations or doing visualizations
all day long.

Recall in the previous chapter when

we discussed how intentions can be set
in various ways. You can set an intention
either by thinking about it or feeling it,
saying it out loud, writing it down, or
even through your actions. The fourth
way (using actions to set intentions) is
often a double-edged sword. When used
right, it can bring about some very
powerful demonstrations. For example,
you can take an action of faith and
purchase an expensive item, knowing
that the money will come to you. That is
setting an intention through an action of
faith. However, this works the other way
as well. When someone continually
repeats and writes affirmations, what
kind of intention is he setting with his
actions? What is he affirming or actually
intending? Is he intending or affirming
the presence of something (that through
his actions, something will manifest very
soon), or the LACK of something (that
because he does not have it yet, he has to
affirm it repeatedly)?

This is a question only the individual

can answer. No one can answer it for
you, because no one can accurately have
a glimpse of your inner state. However,
as Ive mentioned several times
throughout this book the Universe can!
The Universe unfailingly picks up on
every single signal you send out.
Therefore, if you are writing
affirmations or doing visualizations all
day long, then be careful of the
possibility that through your actions, you
may be sending out signals of
desperation and affirming the LACK of
something, instead of the PRESENCE of
something.

Think about this for a moment. If

something you wanted is now in your
possession, how would you feel? If you
are now driving your dream car, or in
possession of something which you
desire, would you still be writing
affirmations stating: I NOW HAVE
____ or I NOW DRIVE ____? That
would be totally absurd! You have
something, and its yours, and thats the
end of it! It would be real to you.

Now heres the secret: Bring that

feeling of reality to the present moment.
Not somewhere out there in the future
but into your present moment, right now.
Dont think of it in terms of something
that is unfulfilled, or something that is
still out there, which you still have to
get. Think and talk about it in terms of
something happening in your reality
RIGHT NOW. If you have the item right
now, how would you behave? If you
have the item right now, how would you
feel? What would you be doing? Would
you be giving thanks, or would you be
writing affirmations that you have that
item?!?

This is a very important principle to

get, and once again it provides ample
opportunities for practice. Practice
taking something that is REAL in your
life right now, that you currently have.
Feel what it is like to have it. Then take
something that is not currently in
physical form, something you want but
only exists in energy at the moment. Feel
the difference in how you perceive the
two items. Switch back and forth
between the two feelings or
representations until there is no
difference between them, or make the
unmanifest item feel as real as the real
one. Do so until you feel no distinction
between the two. You would have truly
let go, completely, and it would come
very fast.
Secret 6: What is real,
anyway?
In the Introduction to this book, I made
the rather cryptic statement about how
everything is real - whether it is manifest
or unmanifest. Things that are manifest
are those in our physical plane, things
which we can touch and feel and sense
with our five senses. Things that are
unmanifest are things that are in our
spiritual (non-physical) plane, things that
are not yet manifest in reality.

Do you make a strong distinction

between these two groups? Do you
frequently talk about how certain things
are manifest and real in your life, and
how certain of your desires have not
manifested? I encourage you to blur the
lines a little because once you do, then
things can certainly get a lot more fun
and exciting for you.

Lets suppose that you are looking to

create a new car. It doesnt matter what
you are trying to create, but for purposes
of explanation, let us use the common
example of a car. Suppose that you are
so in love with this car that you have
created it in your mind and visualized it
in great detail. You know what color the
car is going to be, you know what trim it
is going to come in, how the engine
sounds, and even how it smells like!
Now suppose someone comes along and
asks you a question about this car, do
you think you would be able to answer
them? Of course you would! You would
be able to speak about this car and
describe this car in as much detail as
you would, a real, physical car!

So what is real anyway? Is the car in

your unmanifest reality (your
imagination) any less real than the car in
your manifest reality (your three
dimensional reality)? I would think
BOTH are equally real, because at any
moment and point in time, youre able to
access both realities equally. You have
equal access to both cars, so to speak.
Now of course some people may argue
that the car in the unmanifest reality
cannot be experienced with the five
physical senses, but if you really think
about it, thats as far as the differences
go! Those are the ONLY differences
between the car in your imagination and
the car in reality! So the line between
your imagination and reality may be
much more fuzzy than you think it
actually is.

Of course, the million dollar question

is this: What does it take for the car (or
any other object) in my unmanifest
reality to pop and create itself in
reality? Do I need to do something? Do I
need to do anything extra? Or perhaps I
am doing something wrong? The good
news is that once the car exists on the
spiritual plane (the yet-unmanifest
reality), then it is on its way to existing
in the physical plane (your manifest
reality). Once the car exists on the
physical plane, a version of it continues
to exist on the spiritual plane.
Manifestation then, is the process of
bringing that car from nothingness,
through the energetic spiritual plane, into
the energetic physical plane which you
can then perceive with your senses!

Why is it important to know what

manifestation or creation is? I feel it is
useful to work with a clear idea of what
the creative process really is. The
creative process is not something
mystical or mysterious. It is certainly not
magic or out there. We all possess the
innate ability to shape and manipulate
energy, and in fact we are doing it all the
time! I am molding energy as I am
writing these words. I am also
translating the energy of my thoughts into
words, which you, as the reader, are then
picking up and translating based on your
own energy. We do all of this so
naturally and easily, it comes so easily
to us, without any struggle or strain at all
because that is what we have been born
to do!

We have all been born to mold and

work directly with energy, shaping it and
creating our desired outcomes out of this
energy. We are constantly bringing things
out of nothingness, into the spiritual
plane, and then subsequently into the
physical plane. Of course, sometimes we
change our minds and change our these
items look like in the spiritual plane,
leading them to change on the physical
plane as well. At other times we change
our minds and create something totally
new instead, which means we choose to
start all over again on the spiritual plane
and create something else.

You are already an expert creator. It is

so true when the ancient spiritual
teachers say there is nothing more you
have to do, in order to be, do or have
anything you want. What theyre
essentially teaching is that you already
have all the tools at your disposal, and
hopefully this book has clarified the
usage of some of those tools. Isnt it a
relief to know that youre already doing
this, day in day out, and all you need
now is just some fine-tuning and some
focus to create something that is really
beautiful and desirous to you? Isnt it a
wonderful feeling to know that you dont
need to go out and buy a magic wand just
to make things happen, because
whatever you need, and everything you
have always needed, has always been
available to you right from the start?

If you accept the premise in this book

that we are constantly working with
energy, and that we constantly mold,
manipulate, shape and direct energy
through our intentions, thoughts, words,
feelings and deeds and that directed
energy can ultimate result in tangible
manifestations, then you are well on your
way to shaping your own life and
creating your own future. What you wish
to create, is entirely up to you.
Secret 7: Stop trying to
figure things out!
Before I set off to become a conscious
creator and manifestor, I would
constantly try to figure things out. The
moment I set an intention (lets say, to
have a certain amount of money), my
conscious, reasoning mind would
immediately envision possible ways that
money was going to come to me. Very
often, it would be a very convoluted
series of steps involving many things
happening, but I just couldnt stop myself
from imagining all the possible ways
the money was coming to me! This was
my rational, reasoning, left brain trying
to interfere with the process and
outcome, with no good results.

In hindsight, knowing what I know

today, I now realize how I was closing
myself off to the possibilities. Each of
those ways that I had reasoned and
consciously come up with, were also a
myriad of intentions by themselves In
other words, I was trying to DICTATE to
the Universe how exactly something
should happen, and making things more
complicated for myself than I had to!

Nowadays when I state an intention, I

immediately resist the urge (and this
simply means giving up the need) to
figure out all the ways it can possibly
happen. Remember I stated in the
Introduction that the moment we
visualize a possible outcome, we are
choosing one possible outcome out of all
the endless possibilities which may
not even be the best outcome for us!
We are unknowingly limiting our options
by forcing things through (and often
delaying our manifestations), using
whatever limited knowledge is available
from our physical perspectives. Whereas
if we are willing to open up to the
Universe, and have faith in a higher
power that always ensures our well-
being, things would unfold just as they
should.

So when I say stop trying to figure out

how your desires will come true to you,
stop trying to figure out both the means
(method), and also the timing through
which it will come to you. The great
spiritual teachers have repeatedly taught
us that there is no delay, and that there is
no lag, and that all delays are self-
imposed. Everything will come when
our intention is pure, and when we are
ready for it.
Secret 8: How To Speed
Things Up
I hope the last few chapters have
given you a fundamental and advanced
understanding of the manifestation
process. It is really nothing more
complicated than that! The focus of most
manifestation books out there (which
unfortunately, adds on to the
misinformation) is on following the
right series of steps and doing the
right things, leading to much confusion
for the majority of readers. However,
manifestation is easier than that! All it
takes is the understanding of a few
broader principles and the willingness
to experiment, have fun and play along!
Of course, I could have padded this
book with way more stories and
allegories in order to make it thicker, but
that would have detracted from my
purpose of writing these books. I want to
be a clear channel for the most effective
Universal messages to you, such that you
can apply them directly in your own
lives, with the minimum of effort.

Minimal effort does not mean that no

effort is needed. As explained, there is
considerable inner work to be
undertaken if you want to be a grand
master at manifesting what you
consciously desire. In my years of
writing and teaching, I have not met a
single individual who is totally
hopeless at manifesting, reaffirming
the truth that we all have the innate
ability to create and manifest. To be
totally unable to manifest means to be
totally devoid of creative abilities,
which goes against the nature of our
being! So no matter where you are and
what results youve had in the past, dont
lose heart. Maybe you are making it out
to be more of a chore than you need to.
Turn it into childs play, make it into a
game. There are no rules apart from the
broad principles we went through
earlier, so MAKE UP YOUR OWN as
you go along and notice what works.
Self-awareness is important here in
spotting the patterns that work for you.
 If at anytime youre not having fun
with this creative stuff, youre trying too
hard! Youre putting in more effort than
necessary. So use the amount of fun and
enjoyment youre having as a gauge. As I
was manifesting this book, I used my
own emotions as a gauge. Anytime it felt
like work, like I was forcefully
phrasing and putting words on paper I
stopped. It showed in my writing too!
The writing sounded forceful and
contrived, somewhat artificial. But the
moment I just trusted my inner self to
produce the best possible book in
physical form, the words came pouring
without much intervention needed on my
part. Life can be easy, if you let it be.
 The quintessential question that I
always get about manifestations and the
creative process is this: How can I
speed things up? How can I make things
happen faster? Hopefully, if you have
read until here, youll have some idea
about what the answer is going to be.
First, understand and realize that there is
no delay. The moment you ask, the
Universe answers IF (and this a big
IF) your intentions are clear. But if
you ask, and then start wondering about
how long it will take, or even start
worrying or feeling impatient, then guess
what youre throwing your feelings of
impatience into the whole manifestation
mixed bag! And the Universe is going to
do its utmost best to give you that mixed
bag, which may well end up to be more
delay, and more reasons for impatience!
Thats why effective manifestations and
deliberate creations seem to elude so
many people. They do not understand
that the very Universal laws they are
harnessing are working both FOR and
AGAINST them, at the very same time.
All you need to do is to strip out the
portion that does not work, through your
inner work.

I can promise and assure you (and this

comes from my own personal
experience) that if you are able to think
about an intention (about what you want)
very purely, without any of the usual
worries or negative thoughts, the thing
you want WILL COME VERY FAST.
The manifestation of it will seem almost
instant to you, and it will shock you!
But you cant trick the Universe into
it. You cannot pretend to be not
worried because the Universe picks up
on all of your feelings and thoughts! You
must genuinely be unworried, carefree
and not give two hoots about whether
and how your manifestation will come,
then it will come. Neville cant be
closer to the truth when he said, Feeling
IS the secret!, but there is much more
that meets the eye when he said that
statement. Neville was obviously
someone who knew these ancient and
irrefutable laws of the Universe.
 What I would do, if I were you, is to
prove it to myself using something that is
seemingly small. I use the word
seemingly because everything is a
matter of perception, and big or small
things are simply a matter of relative
perception. Something may be big to
you, but small to another person living
on the same street! So it is all relative
and size absolutely does not play a
part in the manifestation process. But for
the purposes of this thought experiment,
pick something small so that you stack
the deck on your side. Pick something
small and set an intention that you know
youll have very little counter-intentions
against. Pick a subject matter where you
feel very comfortable about, where there
will be no negative or worrying
thoughts. Then follow the steps in this
book and see how natural (or even
magically) that thing manifests for you
without any seeming effort on your part!
That is the TRUE art of manifestation.
And after you have done the process
once and PROVEN to yourself that it
works, then you can do it over and over
again.

In time to come if youre feeling a

little more adventurous, you can then
move on to subject matters that you dont
feel so comfortable about, that you
perhaps have some resistance about (for
a lot of people, this tends to be money or
finances). Pick something small and set a
small intention within that subject matter,
and then go through the same series of
steps. Do your best to keep negative or
counter-thoughts to the minimum, and
notice whether it works. Since you
picked something small, there is a high
chance it will work and you would have
truly mastered the creative art of
manifestation!

In fact, even without embarking on the

experiment I have outlined in the
previous two paragraphs, you can prove
it to yourself in your life right now. Pick
something which has always come easily
to you, which you have always been
good at. And then notice how, when you
want that something, be it good
grades, good results in a particular area
of your life, or certain items related to
that subject matter that you always
instinctively know how to achieve it. It
is as if you were guided each step along
the way towards your goal. That is the
Universe leading you, and it is YOU
executing the moves of being a
deliberate and conscious creator! Now
you may say, Oh, but this comes easily
to you! But dont be so quick to dismiss
it just yet! Sit and notice for a moment
WHY it comes easily to you. What is so
different about this topic at hand that is
different from another topic that you are
struggling with?

Let me give you a personal example. I

have always had great success
manifesting good academic results. It
came very easily to me, so you can say
that is an area of my life where I do not
have much counter-intentions and
negative thoughts about. For you, it
maybe another area. It may be good
health, good athletic performance, good
financial abundance, good relationships.
It may be in several of these areas or
even all of them, in which case youre an
excellent conscious creator! Of course,
the eventual goal of reading this book
and practicing the principles within is to
help you become a conscious creator in
ALL areas of your life. Back to my
example: I have always had great
success manifesting good academic
results, but I have not had as much
success being good at sports. You can do
this exercise along with me as you are
reading. Pick two areas of your life, one
which you are good at manifesting
results in, and the other which you are
not so good (still learning) to manifest
results in. For example, some people are
good at creating good health but not so
good at creating money. The converse is
true for other people, which fascinates
me to no end because it truly proves that
these laws work its just HOW you
apply them!

Think about the area of your life

which works for you, where the
results come fairly easily. Think about
your attitudes in that area, and your
beliefs in that area. How do you
instinctively know what to do? What is
the feeling when you want to achieve
something in that area? I know that when
I think about achieving good academic
results, I never once worry about it.
Deep down inside I have a strong and
persistent belief that I can do it. There is
almost a sense of relaxed confidence
about the whole thing. I never once
doubt my abilities in this area. Now
when I think about mastering a new
sport, for example tennis, I instantly feel
(in my inner awareness) a shift of these
feelings. I shift from being calm, relaxed
and confident to doubting my own
abilities. I start to worry about doing
things right, I start to wonder if I can
do it

Interesting isnt it? How two different

areas of our lives can evoke such
different feelings, and as Neville says,
Feeling IS the secret! Now heres an
even bigger secret: You dont even have
to change anything on the outside. You
just have to change things on the INSIDE
and see the corresponding physical
reality change on the OUTSIDE. I can
simply change the feelings I have about
tennis to one of ease and joy, to banish
the worries I have about it, and not
worry about whether Im doing things
right. Of course, it will take some
mental practice at first, and it might
even seem weird at first.

But understand that any weirdness you

feel about this process is because you
have been thinking the SAME
THOUGHTS regarding a particular
subject area for TOO LONG! Therefore,
the sudden changing of thoughts will
produce new and unfamiliar feelings. Its
just like using your right hand to write
all along, and suddenly switching to your
left hand. It feels totally different. But it
is nothing bad. Instead, if you stick with
it, if you impose and ease yourself into
your new feelings about a particular
subject matter (notice that were doing
this all in our mind), then things will
start to change for you on the outside.
For a start, pick a subject area which
you do not have very strong resistance
about, and over time, youll be able to
change more and more areas of your life.

Recently I started picking up golf after

a long lull period. I decided to put these
principles into action. Instead of
worrying about whether I was hitting
the ball right or whether I was doing the
right things, or whether everything
would turn out the way I wanted I
asked myself How would I feel if this
is something Im confident about? I then
transposed the feelings from an area of
my life where I was confident about into
my playing of golf, and instantly my golf
swings straightened themselves out! The
balls started flying further and higher. I
had much more fun playing, and less
blisters on my fingers! It was as if I
added years of hard work and practice
to my game! All I did, was to have an
inner shift in feelings about the subject
matter.

You are always CREATING and

manifesting something, even when
youre not realizing it. You may think
nothing is happening, but everything is
happening. You may think you are
creating nothing, but right at that moment
you are actually creating something. So
why not create something that makes you
happy and pleases you? Why waste the
unlimited amount of energy that you have
at your fingertips? The ancient spiritual
masters have told us, time and time
again, that the amount of energy we have
access to is LIMITLESS. There is no
limit to the amount of energy we can call
upon and harness with our thoughts (and
I can quote from every major spiritual
teacher who has some kind of analogy
about how much energy equivalence our
thoughts carry). The amount of energy
that our concentrated desires and
thoughts carry is enough to send a rocket
to the moon! Ill repeat that again: The
amount of energy that our concentrated
desires and thoughts carry is enough to
send a rocket to the moon! We virtually
have an UNLIMITED amount of energy
at our fingertips!
 But what do most people use this
energy for? They waste it! They waste it
on worries and doubts, and
inconfidence. They waste it on
desperation and impatience. After all, it
takes energy to feel all these feelings.
More accurately, you feel those feelings
because you are perceiving / translating
the energy! Of course, all this creation
does not go to waste (remember: the
Universe does NOT discriminate
between good and bad), which means
more negative situations of worries,
doubts and impatience are created for
you, over and over again. Why not flip a
switch and turn it around today? Why not
use the limitless energy that is available
to you and flowing through you to create
joy and abundance in all forms? It is all
possible and UP TO YOU. No one can
choose for you, and that is the sweetness
of having ultimate freedom as a creator.
Secret 9: Silence the
reasoning, rational mind
All religions and spiritual teachings
throughout the ages talk about the
concept of faith. What then, is the
concept of faith? It seems to be such an
abstract concept that it is lost on us
modern folks today, and yet it is an
absolutely crucial and integral part of
the manifestation process. Very often,
youll hear a spiritual teacher say,
Youll just have to have faith in the
process. What does this really mean?

Recall that earlier on I talked about

seeing the unmanifest reality as
indistinguishable from the physical
reality, even though you cannot yet
experience the outcome with your five
senses. That is having, and keeping the
faith. Faith is simply seeing and
believing something that is not in
physical form yet, and you keep the
faith by seeing and believing it so
strongly, there is no difference between
the thing being in physical form, or it
being in non-physical (spiritual) form! I
have said over and over again
throughout this book that when you reach
that stage, whatever you want happens
for you very quickly. And if you do not
reach that inner state, then it may very
well take a while more.

What prevents most people from

keeping the faith? For one, they cant
stop the mind chatter that their
conscious, reasoning, rationalizing mind
makes. As one of my friends said, I
understand the Law of Attraction and the
creation process intellectually, but I
cannot bring myself to fully have faith
and trust in the process! What this
friend was actually saying, is that while
he understands how everything works,
he does not have enough faith in the
process. He does not have enough faith
in that the Universe will bring him what
he wants, and therefore he often has to
figure out what action to take to bring
it to him.

If you wish to speed up your

manifestations or greatly ramp up your
conscious creation effectiveness, then
this is helpful to you: Silence the
conscious, rational mind. Stop
questioning, intellectualizing, debating
and wondering how something will
happen, or what will happen next. Stop
dictating that things will happen in a
particular way, or in a particular
timeframe. In other words, you stop
reasoning with the divine because that is
not your job! Your job is simply to
decide what you want to create, and let
it go. For most people, this is next to
impossible to put into action. The good
news is that if you have been meditating
or been in any form of spiritual practice
over the years, then this may come easily
for you. Youll already know how to
reach a place of inner peace, or how to
reduce the incessant mind chatter
surrounding your intentions. This is
simply known as trusting the Universe,
letting go, and letting God! For most
of us who are used to the Western way of
education and questioning, letting go of
the need to question seems so
fundamentally different from the way we
have been taught to operate in this
world, but yet it is possible. And as Ive
realized, it can come without years of
spiritual practice.

Ive found that students often stumble

or get stuck at the point of letting go.
While I can intuitively explain all the
other steps of the creative process as
Ive done in the preceding chapters of
this book, the act of letting go is much
more difficult to put into words. It can
either take up lots of words, or very few
words. It is something experiential in
nature, and until you have learnt to truly
LET GO AND LET GOD, these five
words will just seem like a mantra to
you. Ive seen people going around
repeating this phrase, when it was
obvious they were NOT letting go and
letting God! So I knew I needed another
way to teach the concept of letting go.

Lets first start with the method of

teaching one how to let go, with the
fewest words possible. I can sum up the
whole method in four words: YOU
JUST DO IT. Its that simple! YOU
JUST DO IT! You just decide to do it
and do it. But for most people, our egos
and intellectual, reasoning minds are so
persistent that we cannot and will not
leave it at that. We JUST have to have
answers as to how something will work,
or we JUST have to ensure that we have
a safety net. So obviously, this first
method of instruction is not going to
work for a lot of people.

The second method takes a lot of

words and will take you through
logically and persuasively, why it is best
to let go. Im going to skip that method
and instead explain a THIRD method,
which I have been using very effectively
for myself and for many others. Dont get
me wrong here: It is not wrong to
question anything. The Buddha himself
asked his disciples to question
everything! For it is through the process
of questioning that you arrive at the truth.
Yet, the Buddha (or any other spiritual
master for that matter) never questioned
whether something was going to WORK
for them. They just did it. They never
questioned the veracity or validity of
these spiritual and Universal Laws. They
just used them. They trusted in them
implicitly and totally. Correspondingly,
it worked for them.

This third method Ive found to be

highly effective for letting go is to
simply engage or distract the
conscious mind. In fact, it is so effective
that you can skip years of spiritual
practice and just do this directly, as I
have found. Heres the gist of the
method: What you do is that instead of
attempting to silence your curious,
rational mind (which is next to
impossible), you engage and occupy it
with something else. You let it do
something else, and have some kind of a
hook to wrap itself around and occupy
itself with such that it does not interfere
with the manifestation process. What this
means is that you will increase your
effectiveness as a conscious creator,
because then your rational, questioning
mind will not trip you up every step
along the way.

The way I do so is with the help of

Manifestation Cards. I developed
Manifestation Cards originally as a tool
(and as a manifestation aid) for myself,
after studying and questioning how the
manifestation process worked. Im not
saying that your reasoning faculties are
useless or unnecessary. In fact, without
my reasoning faculties, I would not have
been able to come up with this tool to
help me along further in my
manifestation adventures. The purpose
of these Manifestation Cards are to
engage the conscious reasoning mind,
such that it has something ELSE to do
while you are stating your intention, and
will not sabotage itself with negative or
limiting beliefs. Remember that the
conscious mind merely knows its
limitations, based on your past
experiences. So if you have never
created $50,000 in your life before and
now want to set an intention to create it,
your conscious mind simply puts forth
the suggestion: Well, you have never
even created that amount before, so how
are you going to do it? Lets start
thinking of rational ways where this can
possibly happen And before you
know it, it starts coming with ways
where this might possibly happen.

If you analyze all the possible

solutions suggested by your conscious
mind, youll find that they are all based
on one thing: What you CURRENTLY
know (your existing knowledge), and to
a certain extent, what you believe is
currently possible. For most people, this
will be things like winning the lottery,
or getting an inheritance. These are the
conventions we have all been exposed
to. But your unconscious mind knows
better. Your higher self knows better.
That part of you that is connected with
the Universe and with divinity knows
better. It knows that there are unlimited
ways for something to come into your
life, and that anything is possible, but
your conscious mind does not know that.
Thus listening to your conscious,
reasoning faculties actually limits you
here. You are actually limiting the scope
of probable outcomes if you believe in
the reasoning processes undertaken by
your conscious mind.

You bring the conscious, reasoning

mind out of the picture by giving it
something to do, and helping it make
sense of the whole manifestation
process. The conscious, reasoning mind
stems from the ego, and the ego believes
it has to protect you from danger. The
rational mind (ego) believes that if you
stop thinking, you will cease to exist.
That is why so many of us have an
endless stream of thoughts flowing
through our heads, all day, every day!
For most people, they have identified so
much with their thoughts that they
THINK they are their thoughts. They see
themselves as inseparable from those
thoughts, and those thoughts as who they
are. If you asked them to completely stop
thinking for even a minute, their egos get
so terrified because they think theyll
die! This incident happened to me years
ago when I was meditating, and I was
suddenly gripped with immense and
profound fear. I had fallen prey to the
mistaken belief that I would cease to
exist and function as a human being the
moment I stopped conscious thought! It
seems amusing to me now, but the fear
felt very real to me back then. Of course,
all of that is untrue and merely one of the
egos ways to get us to agree with its
rationalizations. The egos
rationalizations are nothing more than
stories, and as Ive mentioned in the
introduction, when you believe in a
story, you are simply believing in one
version of reality and collapsing all
possibilities into that one reality.

In the next and final chapter, Ill talk

about the Manifestation Cards process
and how you can use it for more
effective manifestations.
Secret 10: Manifestation
Cards
Manifestation Cards are a tool to aid
you with your manifestations. They are
not a mystical, divination or
supernatural tool of any kind. There is
no power in the cards themselves, and
the power arises from the way you use
them. Because when you use these cards
as suggested and play along with them,
you invoke certain important universal
principles that will aid you in your
manifestations. Remember - There are
no fixed rules. There is no fixed
sequence to manifestation. Do and use
what works for you. If this works for you
and makes you feel good, do it.
Otherwise, use another tool or invent
your own tool! Over time, youll find
that you do not need any of these tools
or aids, any more than you need your
own intention and imagination. These
tools are always here to assist.

I created my own Manifestation Cards

by taking a normal blank index or
business card. On one side of the card, I
write the following words:

I intend _________ .

I fill in the blank with whatever I want

to create. It can be a physical object, an
experience, a state of mind, or any
object (tangible or intangible). There are
no limits here, and this can truly be
anything. The only caveat is that I only
focus on one item per card. I only state
ONE intention per card. I do not write
something like I intend a new house and
a new job. For that, I use TWO cards,
one for the house, and one for the job. It
is alright though to write the details of
the same house and same job on the
card. For example, I intend a Rolex
watch with gold bracelet. It is alright to
be specific about our intents, and to
include as much detail as possible on the
card without detracting from clarity.

Next, I write the following sentence:

I intend this or something better, for

 the highest good of all involved.

The Universe ALWAYS gives us what

we intend or something better, but this is
some sort of an insurance policy for
the reasoning mind. This puts the
reasoning mind at ease, and it also
illustrates an important universal
principle. Very often, we do not know
whether something we so fervently ask
for is truly the highest and best for
you. We may think it is the highest and
best from our limited vantage points,
but if we really managed to look at the
whole scheme of things (from the
perspective of the Universe), we may
then realize that it may not be such a
good idea after all. Therefore, there are
always limitations to our physical
perspective. I cant even begin to tell
you the number of stories where people
asked for and insisted upon what they
really wanted, only to discover after-
the-fact that the Universe had much
better and grander plans in store for
them! Therefore, the addition of this
sentence is to signal your intention to be
open to anything that is better, that is in
line with the highest and best for you.

And after this, I add the following

four words: And it is so.

These are four very powerful words.

Lets take a look at what we have done
here: You have stated your intention very
clearly and succinctly. Remember that
the Universe ALWAYS picks up on your
intentions and acts on them. You then
signal that you are always open to
something better, and signal your desire
for something to happen for the highest
good of all involved. Because if you are
going to get something, you want to make
sure that it benefits everyone around you.
Finally, you end off by saying and it is
so, which really means IT IS DONE.
Your job is done, it is final and complete
as you write those words and there is
nothing more you have to do. You truly
let go and let the Universe fly with your
desire!

You can see a sample of how a

Manifestation Card looks like at
www.ManifestationCards.com. You can
also read more about the science behind
manifestation cards (including how I
was inspired to embed various sacred
ancient teachings into my own
manifestation cards) which I use on a
daily basis. The first time I used these
Manifestation Cards, I had TWO
intentions come true on the very first
day. Things which I thought were
difficult and were going to take some
time, but they actually manifested
themselves effortlessly, and all I did was
to go along with them!

After you write these Manifestation

Cards, there is truly nothing more you
have to do. The act of writing your
intentions down on these Manifestation
Cards engages the need of the reasoning,
rational mind to do something. If you
want to, you can carry the card around in
your wallet and take it out from time to
time to look at it. Each time you look at
it, feel the feelings of the manifestation
already occurring and remember that
there is no difference between something
that is manifest (in physical reality) and
something that is not-yet-manifest (in
spiritual reality). Everything is
constantly moving through form, into
form and out of form. Or you can simply
keep the card in your pocket and reach
inside your pocket to touch and feel it
once in a while. No one else has to
know what you are doing, and doing so
evokes positive and powerful feelings
that the Universe picks up on. I
personally put my Manifestation Cards
into a beautiful box after I have written
them, knowing that I have sent a clear
and strong signal to the Universe and
there is nothing I have to do. I also write
a universal Manifestation Card, stating
that whatever I put into the manifestation
box will materialize for me. In this way,
I am doing multiple layers of
manifestations and I know I am free to
change my mind at any time. IF I change
my mind about something, I simply
remove the corresponding card from the
manifestation box and replace it with
something else.
 Once again, all these rituals are
merely for the purpose of engaging the
conscious, reasoning mind and to satisfy
the need to do something on our part.
When in essence, a clear and pure
intention is all that is necessary. But I
have so much fun doing the whole
process that Im going to milk it as much
as possible. If it feels good for you, keep
doing it! Otherwise, stop!

In the last section of this book, Ill

talk about the role of action in the
manifestation and creative process.
Secret 11: The Sacred Role
of Action
Critics of the Law of Attraction, or of
the manifestation and creative process
frequently raise this question: Does this
mean that if I follow the steps explained
earlier, that NO action at all is needed
on my part? This point of no action
needed is frequently used to question
the validity and soundness of the steps
we have gone through earlier.

This always amuses me greatly,

because there IS a great deal of action
involved, even in thought! You would
know by now the amount of inner
work you have to do in order to reach a
state of alignment. By this, we mean a
state whereby your intentions are pure,
and you feel totally at ease with your
desires and manifestations. This is also
a state where you feel a sense of relaxed
calmness and positive expectancy,
knowing deep down inside that what you
want WILL come to you at the right time,
and it is not your job to worry about how
or when. Trust me, there is quite a great
deal of action and inner work needed
to reach this stage of letting go. As Ive
also repeatedly mentioned, when you
finally reach this inner state of being at
peace with everything, the things you
want (on the outer, physical plane) will
materialize very quickly!
 I guess what the critics are referring
to is outer, physical action. They are
talking about visible action we would
need to take in the outer world, without
realizing that most of the work with
manifestation is in fact done internally.
The inner work is all that you need to
do, and any outer work, youll be led to
do. Let me put that differently: The inner
work is mandatory, and the outer work is
optional. You only do the outer work
and take all the external, physical
actions when inspired and led to do so. I
call this taking the path of least
resistance.

When I state my intention clearly and

let it go, I remain open to all
possibilities. I am careful not to let my
conscious thoughts interfere with that
intention, so I am mindful not to get
ahead of myself in any way. I know that
the Universe knows what is best for me,
and I let the Universe decide for me.
This is truly what it means to let go. I let
the Universe lead and guide me, as to
how that intention can materialize in my
life. For example, when I state the
intention for something new in my life,
one of my first reactions may be to buy it
outright. If that feels right for me, if it
is the path of least resistance for me,
then I go out and buy it. So the physical
action involved here is inspired action,
which involves me going out and buying
the item. But many times, the act of
purchasing the item outright does not feel
right to me. I may then wait to see what
other signal the Universe gives.

At other times an item may be given to

me (as with the case of that mobile
phone charger). In other cases I have
been led or gently nudged to go to a
certain place (the library), where my
eyes fell just on the right book at the
right moment, giving me access to a rare
book by a small independent publisher
that would have been difficult to
purchase! So the Universe always knows
the easiest and shortest way to your
desires Your job is to listen to its
gentle nudges and signs.
 There was another time I was in a
clothing store, and received a clear urge
to walk over to a rack of trousers. Since
I had been in that store before, I knew
that those rack of trousers were some of
the most expensive trousers in the store,
costing hundreds of dollars each! That
was something I would not usually spend
on trousers. But it was a clear nudge
given by the Universe, and I walked
over anyway. Imagine my surprise when
I saw that the rack of trousers had been
marked down, and were just fifty-dollars
each! I left the store that day with a new
pair of trousers (just as I had wanted)
and a new, wonderful success story for
this book!
 I love this trousers story so much
because it contains all the elements
necessary to teach the art of
manifestation. First, somewhere along
the way when I first saw those trousers
on a previous visit, I (unconsciously) set
up an intention to own a pair of them.
Remember, the Universe always picks
up on your feelings and intent, whether
you are consciously sending them out or
otherwise. Even if you may not have
formally worded your intentions or gone
through the ritual of writing that
particular intention down on paper, the
Universe still picks up on it. It does not
discriminate though between good
thoughts or bad thoughts. Next, since I let
go of the intention and desire so
completely, the Universe had plenty of
time to work its magic. When I was
next back in the store, the Universe sent
me a nudge to check those trousers out,
because at that point in time, it would
have been the most expedient, effective
and harmonious way to get those pair of
trousers in my hands (or on me)!

When you begin to think about the

elements, the amount of physical action
that must be taken to orchestrate
something like that, you truly start to
appreciate that things happen on a scale
we can never manage on our own,
physically at least. No amount of
physical action would have allowed me
to dictate that those trousers go on sale,
and then for me to walk into the store at
just the right window of time when the
trousers were on sale to purchase them.
Its mind-boggling, to put it simply! All
of this offers a glimpse into the
magnificent powers of the Universe, and
what happens when we choose to go
along with it.

As I travel further along my

manifestation journey, I enjoy learning
and sharing what Ive learnt with others.
Nothing delights me more than having
another person confirm what Ive learnt,
and things still happen on a daily basis
that amaze me. Just two months ago a
book title suddenly flashed in my
mind. Now I dont even know whether it
was a real book title, but I received the
book title along with a very clear inner
nudging to read the book. I did a search
of the title on Amazon.com, and found
(to my half-surprise) that the book
existed! I ordered and read the book, and
it solved a longstanding issue which I
had in my life. If I had come across the
book in a bookstore, I would have
passed it up because the title did not
seem relevant to the issue I was facing.
It did not occur to me that the book
would be the solution to my problems,
since the title suggested something
different. And yet the Universe knew
better! We have to conclude that there is
always a greater force guiding us, and
leading us towards our greater good.
 Intuition plays a great part, and
intuitive people often have a clear
feeling or innate understanding about
what to do next. While taking action is
important, what is even more important
is to know what action to take at the right
time. Intuitive individuals, those who are
in tune with their feelings, are often great
manifestors because they can translate
their inner perceptions and feelings
accurately into outer-directed action.
They also trust their own feelings and do
not second-guess themselves. I used to
believe that intuition was something we
are born with, and that nothing could
be done to change how intuitive we
are. As I was fine-tuning my own
manifestation process, I noticed a link
between intuition and effective
manifestation. I was even more
surprised and delighted to discover that
ones intuition could be improved
through the use of binaural beats and
brainwaves technology.

I had tried binaural beats and

brainwaves technology about a decade
ago with a famous company in the
industry. Each CD would contain a
certain carrier frequency, that would be
progressively lowered as you purchased
and listened to the next level. The idea
was that you gradually entrained your
brain to certain frequencies, that were
associated with particular spiritual
experiences. I gave up the practice after
a while as the system was expensive (it
cost thousands of dollars for the full
program) and it took too much time
commitment (about an hour or more a
day, if I remember correctly). Recently I
heard about another company that had
taken similar technology and shortened it
into a twenty-minute listening session,
with the specific purpose of increasing
ones self-awareness and intuition.

The basic idea made sense and

resonated with me, so I went for the
programme. The idea is that certain
individuals are intuitive because their
brains operate and light up in a
particular manner. Therefore, by
listening to the specially produced audio
tracks (which contain the gentle sound of
waves or rain with specific carrier
frequencies embedded behind them), our
brains can be made to light up in the
same manner and therefore the same
intuitive states could be induced. I tried
it for only about a month before I
received that book title suddenly one
day, something which has never
occurred to me in the past decade of
spiritual practice! While I cannot say for
certain if the experience happened as a
result of me listening to the CD, I have a
deep inner knowing that it certainly
helped, in some way. If you are
interested, the program is called the
Infinity Program by the Immrama
Institute, and more information is
available at
www.BannedManifestationSecrets.com/in
(Note: This is not a product by me,
although I wish I had invented it! I am
putting my reputation on the line and
making an unsolicited recommendation
here because I personally paid for it, use
it daily (still do) and love it. I believe
this product, when used in conjunction
with the manifestation techniques
outlined in this book, has the potential to
create amazing results in your life. If this
feels right for you at this point in your
life, I encourage you to try it too with an
open mind.)

Lets sum up what we have been

talking about in this chapter - There IS
physical action involved in the
manifestation process. But it wont feel
like a chore, or drudgery. It will feel
natural and easy for you, and you will
feel led to do it. If at anytime physical
action feels forceful or artificial for you,
or if it feels that youre making a
sacrifice to get something done
stop! Because youre trying too hard.
When it looks like nothing is happen,
remember, that is when EVERYTHING
is happening. Thats why physical action
is sacred. You take it ONLY when
necessary, only when guided to do so.
You take it only when you feel a very
clear and positive impulse to act, and
until then, you do nothing, and work on
your inner self. If you understand how
action fits into the whole equation, you
would have mastered the creative
process. And it is so!
Summary of Manifestation
Principles
Why are these principles called
secrets? Theyre secrets not because
they are deliberately banned, forbidden
or hidden from public view. No one is
keeping you from learning or applying
these secrets in your own life. They are
secrets because most of us, through
societal conditioning and a belief in
lack have conditioned ourselves to
ignore them, even though they have been
in plain view all along. They are so
obvious that they have become obscured.
They are so simple that we have taken
them for granted all along, instead
choosing to suffer and create things the
hard way through sheer physical
action. Remember: Once you learn what
these secrets are, youll always have a
knowing smile when thinking about your
manifestations (whether manifest or not-
yet-manifest), because you just know
oh what sweet secrets the Universe
knows!

There are no fixed steps or

sequence for manifestation. WHAT
WORKS is WHAT WORKS for
you. Feel free to play around until
you stumble upon what works and
creates results for you. Looking to
copy the recipe of another
usually leads to no-results.
It all starts with making a
clear intention.
You do not have to state your
intention in words. Your intention
can be in thoughts, pictures, actions
or even feelings.
The Universe picks up and
acts on your EVERY intention,
good or bad, moral or immoral. It
does not judge or discriminates. It
acts on every intention equally.
If your intention is pure, it
will manifest very fast for you. By
pure we mean untainted with
negative, counter-intentions or
worries.
If your intention is impure, or
if you worry about how something
will come to you or question your
ability to have it, you are adding all
of that into the manifestation
mixed bag. The Universe will then
deliver to you that MIXED BAG,
which is often nothing at all since
your intentions cancel out.
If your intention is pure and
you are at peace with yourself, then
your manifestations will come
really, really fast!
If your intention is pure and
you see no difference between what
is in the physical realm, and what is
in the spiritual realm, then your
manifestations will also happen
really, really fast!
Our reasoning, rational mind
always tries to intervene by
questioning whether something is
possible. It does so through doubts
and worries. We need to silence
the conscious mind for effective
manifestations.
If silencing the conscious
mind is impossible for you to do,
then you need to engage the
conscious mind like a small child.
Give it a task to work on or
something to wrap itself around
while the Universe carries out your
manifestation. If this means making
up a game to play, such as the use
of Manifestation Cards, do it.
We do not know what is the
highest and best for us from our
physical perspectives. Sometimes,
certain things that we wish for so
badly do not come true for us
because they are not the highest
and best for us.
We can keep ourselves open
to possibilities by adding the
words: I intend this or something
better, for the highest good of all
involved, so that the Universe can
deliver something even better to us.
Something that we cant even
conjure in our wildest dreams!
Trust me, the Universe knows just
how.
It is not your job to figure out
how or when something will come
to you. That is the Universes job.
 It is your job to decide
clearly what you want, and then let
it go. It is also your job to act on
impulses and nudges when they
come. Of course, even if you
choose not to act or them or to
second-guess them, theyll keep
coming to you, in different ways
until finally your attention is
captured.
You can make no mistakes in
the creation or manifestation
process, because everything you
have created knowingly or
unknowingly, you can undo at any
time.
You have complete free will,
within the agreements and
boundaries of our space-time
reality.
You can never ask for
something that will harm you,
because you can never be harmed.
All is always well.
You are already an expert and
adept at all of this. Whether you
consciously realize it or not, you
are constantly molding and shaping
energy, moving it through form, into
form and out of form.
You are to have as much fun
as possible and not to give two
hoots about what other people think
of you, and what you want to
create because they too, are free
to create within their own worlds!
AND IT IS SO!
