Manifesting 101 & Beyond: How to Get What You WantWithout Goofing it Up First! [Paperback]

Susan James (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: October 31, 2000

Manifesting 101 & Beyond is a collection of 91 essays and tools for designing life on purpose. Susan James' interpretation of "User Friendly Physics" explains How to Get What You Want, Without Goofing it Up First. Dreams can be achieved the easy way or the hard way. Manifesting 101 & Beyond is the easy way. These original essays are from the popular electronic newsletter series by Susan James and contributors who specialize in the application of the mechanics of energy/spirit to our lives. As James says, "We've been taught to do everything backward and there's a much easier way!" Manifesting 101 & Beyond helps the reader understand the mechanics of how life really works, instead of how he or she is taught that it works. James assists the reader in the understanding of pure attention versus "focus and just do it." Included in the writings are ideas and evidence of how to "do it," without so much "doing." The application of these energy tools provides shortcuts to better lives, lifestyles and businesses."Manifesting 101 & Beyond is a collection of uplifting short essays that are as easy, fun, and entertaining to read as they are informative."-Cynthia S. Larson (An Amazon Top 500 Reviewer)

5.0 out of 5 stars Creating Your Ideal Life With Love and Joy, July 8, 2001

By 

Cynthia Sue Larson "www.realityshifters.com" (San Francisco bay area, CA USA) - See all my reviews
(TOP 1000 REVIEWER)   

This review is from: Manifesting 101 & Beyond: How to Get What You WantWithout Goofing it Up First! (Paperback)

MANIFESTING 101 is a collection of uplifting short essays that are as easy, fun, and entertaining to read as they are informative. Susan James and six contributors (William Wayne Barnes, Kristen Fox, Tom Haskins, Carol James, Jeri Noble, and John Welsh) share their personal accounts and tips of how they create their lives out of love and joy, rather than feelings of constant struggle and a sensation of being overwhelmed.

James provides playful tools for mastering the requisite skills of reality creation, such as focusing on one's desire for at least seventeen seconds (try writing out it three times with your non-dominant hand). Going beyond the "law of attraction" whereby the universe brings more of what resonates with what we are emoting right to us, MANIFESTING 101 moves on to cover the "laws of allowing", and "laws of deliberate creation". Can we bring anything we truly desire into our lives? The answer is a resounding, "YES!" when we choose to feel good FIRST, and then allow the universe's generous gifts to stream into our lives.

I especially enjoy reading the personal accounts of manifestation in MANIFESTING 101. These true stories provide heart-warming and often humorous descriptions of how we can all learn to get out of our own way when we are creating lives we love. This is more than just an excellent book to read, it's a book you'll be glad to live your life by!

2.0 out of 5 stars Basically a bound version of the e-zine, December 18, 2002

By 

Spiritlight "Spiritlight" (Denver, CO United States) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Manifesting 101 & Beyond: How to Get What You WantWithout Goofing it Up First! (Paperback)

I agree with the other reviewers -- the typos, punctuation errors, and "every" "other" "word" being "in" "quotes" is very annoying. (The reason is that the book is basically self-published, through iUniverse.com.) Some of the information is good, though so far it hasn't added anything to the Abraham material, which is by far a better read...

One thing I found to be a minus in Ms. James' book is the fact that the author says she "has always been open-minded, enthusiastic, optimistic." Okay, that's great, but optimists naturally have an easier time attracting what they want because they start out with positive vibrations; they don't have to overcome all the negative thinking that most of us seeking to learn how to manifest have to first learn to overcome. For me, this translated much like a rich person saying how easy it is to be rich when (s)he has never known what it is to be poor--perhaps of some value, but probably not to most who are reading the book.

Instead, I would recommend Sharon Warren's "Manifesting Your Heart's Desires." Although not the epitome of great writing, it does have great enthusiasm (if you can get past all the "yummy"s) and provides more solid information. Plus the magnets are not only a visual demonstration of Law of Attraction, but they're fun to play with! Also Lynn Grabhorn's "Excuse Me, Your Life is Waiting."

Best of all, however, are the actual Abraham-Hicks materials themselves, as mentioned above. (And no, I don't get any kickbacks for recommending them...I just find the information very helpful.) The tapes are especially useful; I listen during my daily commute, whereas I might not otherwise find time to sit down and read.

Basically, I would sum up by saying this: how glad I am that I only checked out "Manifesting 101" at the public library.

This review is from: Manifesting 101 & Beyond: How to Get What You WantWithout Goofing it Up First! (Paperback)

This book is full of great things! I received it in the mail this morning and had finished it this afternoon. I intend on reading it many more times. Susan James is wonderful and this book will teach you how to change your life. I highly recommend it and also Lynn Grabhorn's "Excuse Me, Your Life is Waiting".
