Most people would consider this to be crazy...

"I hesitated about the cost of airfares to Melbourne from Brisbane and the difficulty in getting time off work, but I felt a workshop held by someone affiliated with the Monroe Institute would be interesting and worthwhile. And it was. The workshop renewed my interest in manifestation/creation and my overall interest in understanding just what consciousness is and how we are all creators. Most of all I enjoyed meeting like-minded people and the free discussion of our experiences. In the "real world" most people I meet would consider this whole area to be crazy, but the demonstration with rods and spoon bending of energy and how it can be used…Wow! This stuff is real!!"

The information you provided in your workshop helped me take THE LEAP!!!

Just wanted to send a note to express my gratitude for the experience of yesterday's workshop. I love the information, the heart, the compassion and promise of what you provided within the workshop. I want to stay in contact with all. The Virtual Tea teleconference is the best way I can do this. See you there.

Update: I want to let you know I am moving to Bozeman MT. The information you provided in your workshop helped me take THE LEAP!!! Amazing. Thank You!!!

I didn’t want to spend money on another manifestation workshop…

I didn’t want to spend money on another manifestation workshop, but I realized yours would be quite different and cover new material. Plus your workshops are always well-thought out, well-organized, and thorough. This one was excellent and I liked your analytical approach explaining the process of manifestation and creation. It covered a lot in a condensed time frame.

Most people experience life as something that happens to them instead of being something that they create or co-create. The workshop showed that's not the case unless we accept that pattern or belief system. In just one day we learned how to avoid traps like that, how to identify the building blocks and assumptions that we're using, and how to create new patterns, both physical and non-physical, in our lives.

Now I find myself getting glimmers of how manifestation takes place all the time. By being more aware of my thoughts, beliefs and actions I can see how they impact my life. By knowing that I can change or refine them, I can control the outcomes that manifest in my life whether they are important events, small things like getting a parking place, or meeting my spoon bending goal of looping the spoon! Yee haw!

I was concerned I’d it heard before…

Although the workshop was very reasonably priced, I was concerned about it not being anything I hadn't heard before, or that it would just be too vague to really help. I ended up looking at your website, and going by my intuition, which said that I was being guided to it for a reason. I’m glad I did. Since taking the workshop I've realized that I can include myself among those who can expect and allow good things, and that I'm capable and tuned in too. I particularly liked being able to see what our energy can create (with the rods and spoons). I’d recommend your workshop because it was fun, affordable and it felt good.

I created my own false starts...

"Three things almost kept me from taking the course: money, time, and not knowing what I was going to be doing. But I was actually very comfortable at the workshop. I met nice people, the food was plentiful, and, believe it or not, it felt good to be a part of something that big. I appreciated how Matthew created the safe zone. It helped to know I could say anything and would not be put down for it. I also appreciated how he let others share the stage when they had techniques to teach that would help the rest of us. As a result of the workshop I gained an understanding that I have created my own false starts in some endeavors. And since then I've been deliberately casting my thoughts to the wind and having some of them come back to me already.

"UPDATE: I just wanted to take some time to say thank you for believing and to share with you that my goals are starting to take place pretty much as I programmed for. I also wanted to let you know that my car park spaces have been coming up more often. I must have patterned that one subconsciously when we had our creation course! So thank you."

The biggest obstacle is always the unknown…

The biggest obstacle is always the unknown. But since I feel comfortable in your workshops, I opted to forgo a golf trip as I felt that this would be more to my benefit. I discovered the immense energy that we are walking around with and that we all have enormous ability to manifest and create, yet most of us don't realize that. I particularly love the "trips" that I take while listening to the Hemi Sync. When my intentions and ideas are set, my journeys become very satisfying and revealing. The experience was far more than bending some spoons. I have a much clearer understanding of myself and my participation in the Universe. It was a wonderful experience and I’d recommend it.

It changed my life!

Thank you so much for creating the Manifestation and Creation Workshop and Spoon Bending experience. The price of the workshop was a fantastic value. It has changed my life!

I knew about the Law of Attraction for years, but the second part of the workshop, The Spoonbending Party, provided such immediate feedback that my confidence soared.

Being able to perform telekinesis and bend two spoons, a fork and a knife, which were unyielding minutes earlier, gave me the trust I needed in my own ability to mold my world the way I want it.

Likewise, my trust in the Universe's ability to provide me whatever it is I desire has grown exponentially. I'm enjoying the dance between thinking about what I want, to expecting it, to releasing it from my conscious attention knowing that it will happen at the right time.

Because of your workshop, I negotiated a work schedule change, where I'm transitioning from being a Full-Time employee to being a Contractor (more pay and more free time to pursue my true callings).

I've been wanting to make this transition for years and the workshop blew open the door of opportunity and believability to make this happen for me. I'm going towards my dreams in a confident, joyful way. I keep singing REM's "The Great Beyond" in my head, "I'm breaking through, I'm bending spoons, I'm keeping flowers in full bloom, I'm looking for answers from the Great Beyond".

I couldn't have done it without you. Thank you!

—Jayne

It's exciting to realize that I have the tools within me to do all this!

"I've taken several workshops with Matthew so at this point I just sign up when a new one comes out. I know it's going to be worth it. I'd say the best part of this course was the way Matthew explains the whole creation process. His explanations were clear and concise and really broke things down into easy steps so you can understand the whole process of manifestation. Unlike others who teach this, he explains that there is some effort required and then he explains why this is so and what you need to do. Of course it makes sense and you realize that you just haven't considered it that way before. By the same token his explanations empowered us to realize how capable we are of manifesting great lives.

"When you combine all that with the Hemi-Sync exercises, which are personally meaningful explorations, and the group practice with how our energy affects physical reality it makes for a very powerful and life-changing workshop.

"The best part, for me, is that I have learnt how to apply the techniques that we learnt in the workshop in my daily life and to be aware of how powerful I am in creating the life that I want to lead. It's exciting for me to realise that I have the tools within me to do all this!"

All meat and no potatoes! Well over a 10 on a 1-10 scale…

Being gone from home for nearly 10 hours, including driving time was a bit long for my dogs, but I was able to make arrangements with a neighbor to feed them so was able to do the workshop. It was a long day, but getting a lot of information in a short time frame is good. The information was detailed, precise, to the point, and easy to understand. All meat and no potatoes! The way you explained the manifestation process showed me that it is doable and repeatable.

Plus, I realized there is an easy way for me to set intentions while doing something that I already love, meditation. I've used meditation for stress relief in the past. I now know I can incorporate intention into my meditation to make a better, happier and healthier life for myself.

Thank you so much for the workshop. I really enjoyed you and Janet. The group was awesome. I felt very comfortable being there. The whole experience today was well over a 10 on a 1-10 scale. I'd like to do another one soon. Blessings to you and Janet.

Practice and experience, rather than belief...

"I liked that the course was focused more about practice and experience, rather than belief and it seemed very non-dogmatic. Plus I think the group energy somehow amplified the effect of the Hemi-Sync. But I really appreciate your truly amazing response to my follow up questions. I will have to read your email again a few times to absorb it! Once again...pretty amazing reply and well thought out. I appreciate your time taken to answer the questions."

All I expected—and more...

"I particularly liked the piece by piece description of the manifestation creative process. It was a great class that provided all I expected—and more. The more facilitators we have in the world to help and guide students to a better understanding and practice of how the creation process works the more we transform as a society."

I figured it was worth it if it could help me make more money in the future…

My main obstacles to taking the workshop were cost, that I already knew about the topic, and that I would be missing a day of work - which meant more cost. However, I have definitely noticed that I manifested some things in the past-good and bad- and I wanted to figure out how I was doing it and find a more concise way to do it. I figured it was worth it if it could help me make more money in the future as well as achieve some of my other goals and desires.

I left feeling inspired. That's a big thing. Also, some of the Hemi-Sync exercises were really helpful. My mind felt more clear after listening to them. One benefit of the workshop was a more clear way to go about manifesting things. Realizing that if I want it to happen, I need to focus and take specific action.

It even works in prison…

Dear Sir,

Some months ago I received a copy of your Manifestation Game and How to Play It from my mother with a request to give it a go and see what’s what. Well, shortly after implementing your instructions, in a a somewhat modified form, I began to receive what it is I requested.

Now here [in prison] where I am what passes for currency is not common to the outside world. What passes for currency here is packets of Ramen soup. Yes, you read that correctly. So I put in a request to experience the receiving of Ramen soup packets and soon I began to experience receiving them. First one, then three, then varying flavors. The success proved real. Wow! Weird, but wow!

Since that moment of wowwy weirdness I have made my early release the object of my considered interest, and so I practice the game daily. Before I sign off with a thank you and farewell, I would like to relate another story that will act as confirmation for your works work.

Recently I found myself in need of a thesaurus. I was unable at the time to do more than simply desire having one and imagine looking up synonyms in it. Not two days later a fellow inmate and classmate hands me a thesaurus while telling me he just just had to give it to me. Now I did not tell anybody about needing a thesaurus. It seemingly happened out of the blue.

Like Bruce Lee said in Enter the Dragon, “Do it with feeling.” Or something like that. The emotional content is the key.

Thanks and farewell,

NAME WITHHELD UPON REQUEST
