Forget the books about magic and law of attraction. This book really explains to you, on a very deep level, how manifestation works. It is not the shallow methods and wishful thinking of E-squared style books, or books with elaborate Wicca rituals. Not at all. Those books are nice and all, but ultimately they just scratch the surface of how things come to be.

This book is primary a spiritual book, that attunes you better with your reality and your essence, purpose and place in the world. I would recommend it to anyone, who is interested in quantum physics, spirituality, alchemy, etc, regardless of weather you actually want to manifest anything.

This book is a true gift

A profound book on the nature of reality, with a practical approach to work with that reality to alter your life circumstances.

This is the best of Spangler's books I've read in this decade (many years ago I read several of his books and found them good but unfortunately can't now remember their content specifically).

The main content of the present book is David's advice as to how to tackle manifestation projects. This is presented in great detail and with a high level of spirituality.

David's process includes the following: creating a sacred space, invocation, silence, embracing current reality, attuning to coincidence and miracle, attuning to spirit and the sacred, contacting a spiritual ally, engaging in blessing, invoking presence and "boiling" reality, energizing the seed of the new you with love, etc etc. This is an inspiring and transformative process.

You will need to devote a lot of time/energy to the process, but I'm sure that if you prioritize this, you will be rewarded at least by your taking a big step forward as regards spiritual development, and hopefully also by manifesting what you desire.

For me the highlights of the book are where David describes the many instances where he and others were able to manifest what they needed/wanted without going through the somewhat laborious process he describes, but where the manifestation seemed to occur spontaneously by their simply following their intuition and doing what they felt like doing.

For instance, many years ago he was looking for a job but thought he would just take a little trip to Findhorn in Scotland, little realizing that this would lead to the offer of a life-changing job opportunity, which in fact was the case.

This is definitely an inspiring book. David states that manifestation is "about being, not getting". It "makes soul visible". He says he wants to "make the ordinary miraculous, and the miraculous ordinary".

He regards what he calls "presence" as a necessary factor for successful manifestation. I can't really summarize what he means by "presence", but he states: "a thought or feeling, a physical sensation or a mystical experience, a clear intent or a strong need - or a combination of any or all of these - can be the trigger that draws our scattered parts together into a wholeness. For that moment, we are the whole spectrum of our possibilities and realities ... we are wholly present and in presence." He concludes that it is not thought but presence that creates our reality.

I personally have experienced manifestation occurring in two ways: 1) suddenly feeling a deep desire for something/someone, subsequent to which I let go of the desire and in fact forgot all about it 2) in the case of DEEP need (for money) I decided to let go of all worry and negative thinking and simply be in the moment, enjoy life and feel great. In case 1) (two examples) the object of my desire turned up out of the blue a couple of days subsequent to the experience of the released desire. In case 2) I also had two experiences, the one where two bank notes literally flew towards me in the wind and dropped at my feet and the other where I dug up a gold ring in my garden, and was able to sell it for enough money to last me until the end of the month. Unfortunately, such experiences are not easily repeatable, and probably have something to do with what David calls "presence".

If you are willing to invest time and energy in working with this manifestation process, or if you simply wish to be inspired by his various tales of more or less spontaneous manifestation and in general by his gift of himself (since he absolutely proffers the gift of himself in this book, and perhaps in all his books) then I would strongly recommend that you buy/read the book.

Best book on manifestation ever!

A deep, gentle, and inspiring look into how manifestation is is the art of attunement that serves the wider web of life.

Living at Findhorn in the late 80s, I came to see Spangler as the wisest, sanest living author I knew. I was thrilled when this book came out in the mid 90s.

But around two years later, one autumn evening in 1997, everything changed … http://corjesusacratissimum.org/2013/...
