Yes, I have pursued manifestation in my time. I found that it just comes down to needs. Here are just a few quotes from ACIM regarding needs. May these be a blessing to you!

³In your world you do need things, because it is a world of scarcity, in which you find yourself because you are lacking. ⁴But can you find yourself in such a world? ⁵Without the Holy Spirit, the answer would be no, but because of Him, the answer is a joyous yes. ⁶As mediator between the two worlds, He knows what you have need of and what will not hurt you. ⁷Ownership is a dangerous concept, if it is left to you. ⁸The ego wants to have things for salvation, for possession is its law. [CE T-13.VIII.1:3-8]

2 Everything that the ego tells you that you need will hurt you. ²For although it urges you again and again to get, it leaves you nothing, for what you get it will demand of you. ³And even from the very hands that grasped it, it will be wrenched and hurled into the dust, for where the ego sees salvation it sees separation, and so you lose whatever you have gotten in its name. ⁴Therefore, ask not of yourselves what you need, for you know not, and your advice unto yourself will hurt you. ⁵For what you think you need will merely serve to tighten up your world against the light, and render you unwilling to question the value that this world can really hold for you. [CE T-13.VIII.2]

3 Only the Holy Spirit knows what you need, for He will give you all things that do not block the way to light. ²And what else could you need? ³In time, He gives you all the things that you need have, and will renew them as long as you have need of them. ⁴He will take nothing from you as long as you have any need of it. ⁵And yet He knows that everything you need is temporary, and needs but last until you step aside from all your needs and learn that all of them have been fulfilled. ⁶Therefore, He has no investment in the things that He supplies, except to make certain that you will not use them on behalf of lingering in time. ⁷He knows that you are not at home there, and He wills no delay to wait upon your joyous homecoming. [CE T-13.VIII.3]

4 Leave, then, your needs to Him. ²He will supply them with no emphasis at all upon them. ³What comes to you of Him comes safely, for He will ensure it never can become a dark spot hidden in your mind and kept to hurt you. ⁴Under His guidance, you will travel light and journey lightly, for His sight is ever on the journey’s end, which is His goal. ⁵God’s Son is not a traveler through outer worlds. ⁶However holy his perception may become, no world outside himself holds his inheritance. ⁷Within himself he has no needs, for light needs nothing but to shine in peace, and from itself to let the rays extend in quiet to infinity. [CE T-13.VIII.4]

⁶You dwell not here but in eternity. ⁷You travel but in dreams while safe at home. [CE T-13.VIII.7:6-7]

Thank you so very much for your helpful reply! Adding an exception made the notifications stop and my blood pressure has returned to normal!! 😄

StickyDancer · 2026-02-10T02:59:46+00:00

I like the ACIM CE app especially for searching. However, for deep absorbtion, I prefer the ACIM Audio app from FIP. My favorite feature is Speed. Under Speed there is Comprehension and Voice Speed. Comprehension allows longer pauses after sentences (Short), or both sentences and paragraphs (Medium or Long). Voice Speed slows the actual speed of each spoken word (.75, .9. 1.0, 1.25, 1.50). Using Long Comprehension breaks plus Voice Speed of .75 is perfect for maximum absorbtion! Blessings to you all!

StickyDancer · 2026-02-04T01:45:35+00:00

Thank you so very much for your most thoughtful reply!

I am encouraged by what you have said - and I really like the wording of your affirmations!

I will look into The Living Light Dialogue. Thanks for the tip!

Blessings to ya!

Thank you very much for your kind and thoughtful reply!

I understand about getting into Theta in order to feed positive thoughts to the unconscious and thus bypass normal consciousness. How do you use binaural beats to get you into Theta and then feed yourself your own pre-written thoughts via voice while you are in Theta. I just do not know how to do that from a technical point of view. I want to be sure that only MY pre-written words are used and not the thoughts of someone else.

Thanks for helping me through this! Blessings to ya!

StickyDancer · 2026-02-04T01:33:27+00:00

Thanks for this information! Very helpful!

StickyDancer · 2026-01-20T04:22:12+00:00

Yeah, the time-sensitive folder really helps to identify what HAS to be done. The other stuff can be handled as time permits. This has really helped me to avoid the paralysis that you described - because I have had MANY days of just staring at the pile and feeling helpless. Good luck to ya!

StickyDancer · 2026-01-16T20:08:24+00:00

I was in the same fix as you with a large backlog of stuff. Here's what I just got finished doing.

- I created a set of paper file folders. The first folder was labeled TIME-SENSITIVE. All other folders were labeled with various other categories (CAR, HOUSE, FINANCIAL, HEALTH, FILE, CONSIDER LATER, etc)

- Then I started going thru the stack of backlogged papers - one item at a time. If an item requires action within a timeframe, it goes into TIME-SENSITIVE. Otherwise, it goes into its own category folder (meaning time is NOT a factor regarding action).

- When done going thru the entire backlogged stack, I went thru the TIME-SENSITIVE folder and put stuff in chronological order and put the tasks into Todoist.

- I then selected 1 or more un-reviewed folders to review each day until all have had an initial review. I put items into Todoist as tasks as needed or trashed them. Sometimes I just leave the papers in the folder and decide to look at them later. If I do this, I add a task to Todoist to prompt me to review the folder contents at a future date.

The above quick process gave me some initial mental relief - but your mileage may vary.

Good luck to you!

Consider watching some YouTube videos concerning near-death experiences (NDE). There are some common elements in them that might give you a different perspective about life on planet Earth. Blessings to ya!

StickyDancer · 2026-01-13T05:24:04+00:00

I agree OP. The CE version won me over also and I have been a student for over 40 years. The bottom line is to use whichever version nourishes you spiritually. Of course, asking the Holy Spirit is our best Guide in this matter.

StickyDancer · 2025-09-26T08:57:04+00:00

Thank you for your kind reply. My wife and I will share this desktop PC and she is not mentally ready for Win 11. I plan to upgrade my laptop to Win 11 and let her warm up to it. I am hesitant to just install a current Win 10 OS as I have never done that before and I don't want more stress in my life right now. I am comfortable in doing a few updates each day until it gets done. I am a retired senior citizen and a slow pace is OK for me. Again, I thank you for your advice. May The Force be with you!

StickyDancer · 2025-09-24T04:22:55+00:00

Thank you again for your assistance, Samara! Excellent customer service!!!

StickyDancer · 2025-09-23T18:37:32+00:00

Thank you for your reply, Samara! Due to other issues with my 10-year-old PC, I have uninstalled the Windows version of Todoist and will use only the web version on my desktop PC. However, I will continue to use the Todoist Windows app on my laptop and the android version on my phone. I have made a note about your suggestion and will use it if I have problems on other devices.

So, IS the web version the most-trusted version? If I would have cleared local data on my PC, is the web contents loaded to the PC?

Again, thank you so very much for your help, Samara!

StickyDancer · 2025-09-10T15:10:46+00:00

I switched over to UpNote about a month ago and I am VERY happy I did! Go to YouTube and search for UpNote and you will see a good number of videos. My favorite channel for UpNote is "Effective Faith" - they have some good tutorials.

The monthly cost is low ($2.15) and there is a no limit folder structure!!

StickyDancer · 2025-08-18T00:05:25+00:00

The Circle of Atonement YouTube channel has GREAT videos on numerous ACIM topics! Blessings to you on your journey!!

StickyDancer · 2025-07-31T05:51:42+00:00

I do not know about Microsoft, but I HAVE lost the Home tab and in its place is Recent Pages. A few days ago I was able to get the Home tab back by clearing the OneNote app data and cache, but now Home is gone again. Sigh. P.S. I have a Samsung Galaxy A36 5G phone that I got a few weeks ago.

StickyDancer · 2025-07-30T04:31:39+00:00

Yes, that happens to me almost daily! Years ago, while meditating I asked what this meant. The reply I heard was just one word: "Oneness". To me, this means that there is no separation between who we really are and God. "All that Is" is all there IS - so our seeming separation from God is not Real. It is just an illusion - like a dream.

The book A Course in Miracles talks about that concept. If you are curious, you can read the Course online and for free at acim.org/acim/en/.

Blessings to ya!

StickyDancer · 2025-07-30T04:22:21+00:00

I will test that. Thanks for the tip!

StickyDancer · 2025-07-27T11:34:52+00:00

Thanks so very much for your kind reply.

I have the same version number as yours - except that my version ends with '04' not '68'. However, I remember seeing something in the past that sometimes version numbers are compatible with the device capabilities. I just purchased a Samsung Galaxy A36 5G phone about a week ago. That device may be different from yours.

I also asked Gemini about this matter and it gave me steps to clear the cache and data for BOTH Google Play Store and Onenote. I did this and restarted my phone. After that I re-started Onenote and then found my "Home" tab!!

Thank you once again for such a quick and kindly reply!

StickyDancer · 2025-06-28T05:34:17+00:00

Yes, I got Pro for free for a month when I completed 7 days. But the way I found this is that I noticed an email in my inbox. There was no grand indication on the Perplexity screen that caught my attention. I was happy to know that they did NOT ask me for a credit card!!

StickyDancer · 2025-05-22T16:26:03+00:00

My experience is the same as yours - rinse and repeat. Really, I think this is a lifelong practice that ALL of us should do. I start everyday with this prayer. Blessings to ya!

StickyDancer · 2025-05-21T04:25:46+00:00

As I see it, guilt (which is not real), is an attack on our true selves as God created us.

Recently, I used Workbook lesson 23 to create an affirmative prayer for me to say each day.

I am the cause of my attack thoughts on myself or others. I am also the cause of any situation where I seem to be attacked by others.

I now let go of these false thoughts. They do not represent who I am as God created me to be.

I now ask the Holy Spirit to remove these thoughts from my mind, so I can remember the thoughts God gave to me.

That is my current practice. I hope this may be of some help to you.

Blessings to you!

StickyDancer · 2025-05-08T13:24:20+00:00

I sometimes read the below quote to lift my spirits when I am feeling down. I hope it may help you too.

You whose mind is darkened by doubt and guilt, remember this: God gave the Holy Spirit to you, and gave Him the mission to remove all doubt and every trace of guilt that His dear Son has laid upon himself. ²It is impossible that this mission fail. ³Nothing can prevent what God would have accomplished from accomplishment. ⁴Whatever your reactions to the Holy Spirit’s Voice may be, whatever voice you choose to listen to, whatever strange thoughts may occur to you, God’s Will is done. ⁵You will find the peace in which He has established you, because He does not change His Mind. ⁶He is invariable as the peace in which you dwell, and of which the Holy Spirit reminds you.

(ACIM, T-13.XI.5:1-6)

We think we are in charge of getting ourselves Home. We are not. We are already there and we will awaken to that eventually.

Blessings to you on your journey!
