Advance praise for Mike Dooleys

Manifesting Change

The material in this book was originally delivered to live audiences during Mikes second world tour, from 2006 to 2008. Mike later published the same material as an audio program. Here is a very tiny sampling of the many thousands of endorsements and testimonials provided by those whove already experienced Manifesting Change:

I wanted to write something to express to you how profoundly Manifesting Change is impacting my life ... and yet, for perhaps the first time in my life, I am at a loss for words. Let me simply say, thank you for discovering the Truth about who and what and why we exist.

My head is spinning; my heart is full! This is what life is all about.

Your teachings have brought me so much joy, abundance, and love that I cannot tell you how very thankful I am. Thank you for your wisdom, insight, and knowledge of what we can become if we only believe and ASK for it!!!

You have reached the pinnacle! We laughed, we cried, we laughed again ... WOW! We are lifted up to heights we not only never imagined ... we never knew you could go that high!

This morning, while on my morning walk, I plugged in Manifesting Change and I GOT IT! I got it at such a level I burst into tears, threw my hands up in the air and shouted, WOOOOHOOOOO!

I want to thank you for the amazing Manifesting Change course. It was a birthday gift from my wife, which has given me the courage to return to work that I love.

Manifesting Change was the best investment I could ever make. My wife couldnt understand why I wanted a CD set for Christmas instead of the weight bench I asked for earlier. I told her we could gain far more from working the muscle in our heads, along with the spirit, instead of the physical muscles of the body improving our outer appearance ... She gave in!!!!!!! We listen to it together and have already seen change starting to manifest in our marriage, household, and all areas in our lives!!!

What a ride this has been! Had I ever dreamed of becoming a writer, speaker, or teacher, I would have considered such thoughts either fantastical or nightmarish, the latter pertaining especially to public speaking. What began as a quest for truth, however, led me to become all three. Ive always craved answers about life and how it works, and the pitch in my yearning to understand these things reached an agonizing crescendo during my first year of college, as I bounced from prayer groups to mediation groups to bible studies. I was overwhelmed with questions pertaining to why we are here, why we die, and what we can do with our lives.

Yet this frenetic searching was laden with a giftwhatever we seek seeks us. And, as these things typically happen, with the student being ready and all that jazz, Mom, my greatest fan and closest friend, coincidentally sent me a few books over the span of several months with subtle notes attached declaring, You MUST read this! I loathe reading, perhaps because I do it so slowly (with a mind that races to the point of being unofficially diagnosed with Adult Attention Deficit Disorder), whereas my mother has had a lifelong appetite for books, consuming more in a week than I would be able to read in a decade. But dutifully following her hints, I read each book one by one, and they turned all of my question marks into excited exclamation points.

The first of these books was The Silva Mind Control Method, by Jos Silva, which, incidentally, is about controlling your mind, not other peoples minds. It absolutely electrified me as I read through the first chapter. Again and again, I was metaphorically slapping my forehead and thinking to myself, I knew it! I knew it! I totally knew it! I knew we were unimaginably powerful. I knew our thoughts were the key to our powers. I knew the world had infinitely more to offer those who could awaken from the prehistoric slumber of believing and behaving as if the things of time, space, and matter were bedrock reality.

A week or so later, before I even got into the second chapter (I told you I read slowly), Mom sent her second book, Seth Speaks, by Jane Roberts, and this one changed my life forever. I read it cover to cover, at the breakneck speed of one semester, and I was utterly floored. The book not only helped me connect literally
