manifestation – Pam Grout

Gusher alert: books, creativity and fun!

January 7, 2026 11 Comments

“We make each other. The interconnectivity between all of us is obvious and unimpeachable.”—Ethan Hawke

I’m in the mood to gush today. I’m reading a couple AMAZING books, I just hung out with friends from the possibility posse and well, as you’ve probably noticed, I often have trouble containing my excitement.

The first book you may have already read. It’s Dan Brown’s The Secret of Secrets.

It’s a 650-page thriller that, get this, centers around my favorite topic—human consciousness. Like all Brown’s books, it’s a page turner. In fact, were in not for my resolution to create something new every day, I’d probably be on my couch right now finishing it.

None of the concepts about consciousness are new to me (I’ve covered many of the same studies here on the blog), but it thrills me that these once-revolutionary ideas are hitting the mainstream. Netflix has already bought the rights to turn the book into a movie.

Brown said in a recent interview that after eight years of gathering data for the book from philosophers, physicists and noetic scientists, he’s come out with a totally different mindset.

“It sounds crazy,” he says, “but I no longer fear death and I believe consciousness is nonlocal.”

I also learned he wasn’t a stranger to manifesting reality. He told Rick Rubin that 20 years ago, he printed out a New York Times bestseller list, photoshopped The Secret of Secrets onto that list on a certain date.

And guess what? That very book, which hadn’t even been written or conceived of in 2005, was #1 on that exact date 20 years later. Reminds me a little of writing my E-Squared affirmation on the beach in Georgia.

A couple other cool things I learned about Dan Brown is that, like me, he plays the piano and he meditates.

Most importantly, he mentioned that the first publisher to whom he pitched his uber-popular Da Vinci Code practically laughed him out of the office.

Moral of this story? Just because one person fails to recognize the beauty and potential of your idea has nothing whatsoever to do with you. Or with the idea’s worth.

In fact, to go back to Ethan Hawke, whose quote from a recent awards ceremony I started this post with, also said this:

“It’s not about the size of the audience. It’s the size of the idea. Ambition includes failure—it’s right next door to success. There are no numbers on the door. You knock, it’s going to open, and you’ll either find a supermodel of your dreams or your mom in curlers.”

But it’s important to keep knocking on those doors.

“Human creativity,” Hawke goes on to say, “is nature manifest in us and our expressions represent our collective mental health. All of us have a charge to do our best, to do the good that we have the power to do.”

So rather than gush about the other book I’m reading (maybe later this week), I’ll close here.

Love you all. SO VERY MUCH!

What if everything is a God job?

August 20, 2025 18 Comments

“Nature is encouraging us each day to exist as our blueprint intended — together.” — Zach Bush

I love my local possibility posse.

I get so much inspiration (our mission, you may remember, is to celebrate what’s going right) that, even though I’m in full-blast writing mode, I thought I’d stop to jot down a quick post inspired by today’s get-together.

We frequently use a phrase–“oh, that was definitely a God job”–when something happens outside our realm of understanding. Like when the perfect book drops off the shelf. Or when someone sends unexpected money.

It occurred to me this morning when the “God job” phrase was mentioned that I can now see that everything is a god job. Everything is a gift.

It is only mental commentary that prevents me from seeing that. Anytime I judge any event (not to mention a person) I fail to notice the miracle.

This truth is becoming so clear to me. Every time I decide to hold up a score card and rate something as “undesirable,” my energy flow gets blocked.

I am in such a state of bliss right now because well, my days are really simple.

I walk. I listen. And I write.

As I open myself to more god job energy (which only means I’m not blocking truth), more inspiration pours through. I wake up nearly every morning with new thoughts, new ideas.

I’ve been comparing it to the manifestation process. Whatever you focus upon is animated into your life. Your attention adds weight and gravity and, before you know it, voila!

In order to get back to my book, I’m going to stop here and share instead this joyous email that popped into my inbox last week:

“Hey there! I wanted to reach out to share my story with the experiment, asking for a blessing within 48 hours. IT WAS SO EXCITING!

I came across a podcast interview that you were on, and although I have been following you on social media for the past few years, I didn’t realize you were a writer (duh on me).

“I immediately went on Audible to purchase 3 of your books. I read “Thank and Grow Rich” first and experienced something cool after reading that one, and then I started on E2.

“Here’s what happened…It was July 12th, and I decided to try the experiment. I asked for a blessing, a wink from God to come to me within the next 48 hours. The following day was my birthday, and my fiancé got us a double Queen suite at one of our favorite oceanfront resorts here in Jupiter, Fl. We live close by and stay there at least once a year on special occasions.

“We usually get the same suite, which is BEAUTIFUL. So we walk into the lobby to check in, and this young, sweet girl behind the desk starts giggling when we tell her our name for the reservation. I said jokingly, “What is so funny?” She replies, “It’s your lucky day! We upgraded you to our 3-bedroom Penthouse for no extra charge. This room goes for $3,500 A NIGHT! We then asked if we could stay a second night at the same rate as the original suite and said “absolutely!”

“I finished E3 this morning, and I am so eager to start experimenting. I also host a podcast called “Thoughts can Heal,” and my last episode was about reading your book, Thank and Grow Rich, and what happened when I experimented with one of your suggestions in the book. Thank you so much for all you do to make this world a better place! Heck, if you’d ever like to be a guest on my podcast I would be honored.”

Thank you, Denise, and thank you God (or whatever you want to be called) for always strutting your stuff. Have a great week, friends! Love you to the six-planet parade gracing our night skies right now and back.

The only conversation worth having

“I don’t want to wait for the world to change to be free.”—Byron Katie

Joyous Tuesday, you brilliant beings of light!

I am just back from Ireland where my mister and I searched and found his family roots.

We celebrated Mother’s Day with a wild pack of mountain goats while hiking in the Burren, met half the population of the tiny Aran Island of Inis Oirr and “just happened” to land our tickets to the Book of Kells at precisely 2:22. Thank you, Taz!

I could go on and on about the synchronicities—meeting just the right person at just the right time, finding fairy rings, happening on to St. Bridget’s Well (and leaving notes), sitting next to Taylor Swift’s table….But, because I’m busy catching up with my life here (amazing how much a garden can grow in 15 days), I’m sharing a fun story that popped into my inbox this morning. Thank you, Laura:

“I bet you get tired of readers and followers sending you manifestation stories they think are funny. I’ve been feeling a little flat after manifesting a very big thing…like scared it will never happen again so I’m re-reading/doing E-Squared.

“Exercise 1: my plantar fasciitis went away (thanks Dude),

“Exercise 2: “Show me a yellow bike” Yeah found my bike in 24 hours.

“Exercise 3: I’m on holiday in Dordogne, France (manifested this) and I’m in love, feel like I’m home. Decided I’m gonna manifest a house sit for this time next year.

“Today on a hike, I met a French hiking group and they were chatting with us. My new friend is doing a house sit here and now and is also pining to return. I introduced her to a lady (my French is better) and explained she is house sitting.

“This lady then busts into perfect English “Voila! I need a house sitter next May. May I contact you?” LOLOLOL does it count if my friend manifested this? Or should I give it another 24 hours. Luckily, I didn’t start laughing about this until I was alone. Cheers Pam, thanks for getting me out of my mini funk.”

So first of all, I NEVER get tired of readers sending manifestation stories. And I’m honored that my words played a tiny part in eradicating funk of any kind. And I love sharing these stories, because, to me, the story of magic and possibility is the only conversation worth having.

I also treasure this photo sent from a “Thank and Grow Rich “group in Dripping Springs, Texas.

I am dripping in love for all of you.

Here’s to Tuesday and all the magic it offers if we only take the time to look.

Wonderful beyond imagination

August 1, 2023 31 Comments

“It is quite possible to leave your home for a walk in the early morning and return a different person—beguiled and enchanted.”—Mary Ellen Chase

One of my favorite things about traveling is that I don’t have a car.

Here in Cadiz, I take long walks beside the beach. To the market. Through the park.

Walking opens up a bigger world than the one allowed through the modern lens of seeing.

It reaches beyond our normal habits of zooming by, minds awhirl, barely noticing life’s countless gifts. In a car, I’d never see the neon pink hibiscus, the lime green parrots flitting in and out of palm trees, the gleeful children chasing seagulls.

When you walk, life extends beyond its normal constraints. It seems rife with possibility, infected with infinity.

Which also happens to be the intention of my writing, both here on the blog and in my books.

As many of you may know, today, August 1, is the debut of the 10-year-anniversary of E-Squared. It was my 16^th book, but the first to fly off into the stratosphere, having, at last count, been translated into 40 some languages.

Although I’ll never know for sure which powerful genie took that book under its watchful care, I often credited it to the affirmation I etched into the beach on Tybee Island, Georgia.

On New Years Eve 2012, one month before it debuted, I wrote with a big stick in the sand: E-Squared will be an international bestseller. And then I let the waves take it out into the universe.

This morning, as the sun was rising here in Cadiz, I took another big stick and wrote yet another beach affirmation. This one said: E-Squared=Peace and Freedom for All.

That’s my highest hope. That it will open new possibilities, that it will shift the balance of the world from separation and limitation towards authentic freedom and love. In other words, towards who we really are.

Some of you asked about the E-Squared Pop-up Party being curated by the inimitable Lisa Natoli.

Here’s the scoop from the email she sent out to her pals:

I am a Pam Grout super-fan – and I recently heard that her book E-Squared has been updated with a 10-year anniversary edition. I GOT ALL EXCITED!!

I did all 9 of the experiments 10 years ago when the book first came out and every day and every experiment was mind-blowing and magical.

It was like being a kid again. It’s a very playful book and it will bring you back to being a child again.

So when I heard that there was an updated version, I knew I wanted to do these 9 experiments again.

My initial idea was that I would do it by myself. I love reading and it was just going to be my own private book study.

But then I thought: WHY NOT INVITE OTHERS TO JOIN????? Why not create a book study group??

Why not throw a party??

So I have created a pop-up Facebook group for the month of August 2023 for the Pam Grout E-Squared book.

It’s free. It’s private. But you do need to be on Facebook. And you do need a copy of the book or the audio version.

Pop-up means this is a temporary group – it will be up for the month of August – it’s a place for us to share our experiences with Pam’s book.

IMPORTANT: THIS GROUP IS ONLY FOR PEOPLE WHO ARE GOING TO PARTICIPATE IN READING THE E-SQUARED BOOK, DOING THE 9 EXPERIMENTS OR LISTENING TO THE AUDIO VERSION.

If that’s you … come join me and others on Facebook. Here is the link to request to join: https://www.facebook.com/groups/pamgrout

All my love to you,

Lisa

So you are officially invited to join the party. But most of all, I want you to know, I remain forever grateful and overjoyed to be part of the extraordinary awakening happening right here on Planet Earth.

Raising a holy hallelujah!

“Everything’s miraculous if my heart is open enough and I’m present enough to receive it.”- Mark Nepo

It’s official. I have the most generous, open-hearted (not to mention stunningly attractive) readers in the entire known universe. I posted a tiny notice on FB and Instagram about the 10-year-anniversary edition of E-Squared that debuts in six days and wow! Just wow!

I mentioned that I’m on what I’m calling a “book tour” which technically means I’m posting a few photos of me holding the new book while sipping cappuccinos and walking along a two-mile beach in Cadiz, Spain.

It totally fits with my intention that my real “work” is to embrace bewilderment and wonder. To prove that by undoing unconscious conventions that push me towards productivity and speed, I can find true contentment and meaning.

So far, my “book tour” is getting lots of praise. People on social media have been showering me with compliments: evidently E-Squared was a game changer for an awful lot of folks. Many claimed it was their favorite book of all times. So, yes, if I appear red-faced in my “book tour” photos, it’s not because I failed to apply sunscreen. It’s because I’m seriously blushing to think my words have changed so many lives.

Some people even included manifesting stories from when they were doing the experiments in E-Squared. Like manifesting $100 bills or a brand-new house or thinking about scones and clotted cream and suddenly spotting a British flag and grocery store in the most unlikely location of Grapevine, Texas.

My dear friend Lisa Natoli is planning a pop-up Facebook group for posting miracles and stories from the new tome.

So anyway, I’m sheepishly gratified and super excited to hear about all the new miracles that await readers of this updated 10-year-anniversary edition. Besides a new forward, written by moi, it includes a brand spanking new manifesting scavenger hunt complete with treasure map created by mystical artist, Alberto Agraso. He and his amazing wife, Mony, are the ones who so kindly offered this incredible opportunity to spend the summer in the south of Spain where I almost hesitate to add ocean breezes create average high temps in the mid-70’s.

So miracles are afoot, my friends!

I love and adore you all so much and am so grateful for your continuing kindness and belief in me.

#222 Forever!

Going up?

“My anthem is the feisty joy parade that goes from my heart to yours.”—Chelan Harkin

So in this video (that I’m going to try to add to the bottom of this post), Mike Dooley asked for my elevator speech.

I said something like, Gosh, “I guess I should write one” even though I know full well nobody can be contained within a label, a description or even an elevator speech.

But since he asked, I looked up the definition and discovered a good elevator speech explains what I’m up to, what project I’m working on, what comes next for me.

And even though my cultural programming instructs me to articulate something that sounds impressive and/or fulfilling, I concluded–upon a bit of inner reflection–that my only mission is to BE love. Right here. Right now.

I know. I know. It sounds flimsy and woo-woo and shouldn’t I have more goals?

But upon even more inner reflection, I concluded that “well, what else could I possibly want? What else beyond love would I ever want to experience or would I ever want anyone else to experience?”

So screw it! That’s my elevator speech. My mission is to overcome all limiting beliefs that would block this indwelling source of love. And to know that love is not something you find in people, places or things. It’s a life energy that dwells within, a powerful force that yearns to make its presence known.

All of us are inherently happy and worthy of love and acceptance. So my elevator pitch, if I ever get asked again, is: I, Pam Grout, am a love activist. #222 Forever.

Here’s the video and here’s where you can join us for our 21-day Magical Mystery Manifestation Adventure.

Have the most extraordinarily epic weekend of your life, my beautiful compatriots of joy. #222 Forever!

A pop quiz: How proficient are you at the Law of Attraction?

March 25, 2022 28 Comments

“The more in harmony you are with the flow of your own existence, the more magical life becomes.”–Adyashanti

So I ran into this quiz I wrote many years ago for The Good Vibe website.

Because I’m currently thinking about manifesting (stay tuned), I thought it’d be fun to repost the world’s very first LOA quiz, run for the very second time. Enjoy:

When I was a teenager, I loved the quizzes in Seventeen magazine. I couldn’t wait to find out:

“Which fashion style best suits your taste?”

“What is your party personality?”

“Is he THE ONE?”

Even now, a day rarely goes by without a Facebook friend or two reporting the results of “Which member of the Beatles they are” or “Which Oprah quote should be their mantra.”

These quizzes are all in good fun and since good, delightful fun is one of my mantras (I didn’t even need Oprah to help figure that out), I’ve come up with the world’s first Law of Attraction Quiz.

To find out how adept you are at using this all-powerful law of the universe, answer these four questions:

1. Do you believe your thoughts create your reality?

a. Some of the time

b. All of the time

c. Only when you repeat an affirmation 568 times, visualize at least an hour a day and pray non-stop to a higher diety

d. Are you kidding me? I never get what I want.

2. Which of the following statements best matches your opening thought most mornings:

a. Oh shit, not again!

b. Yee-haw! A new opportunity for another Oscar-worthy production

c. Dang! Where is that hot brunette I was just dreaming about.

d. I’ve got to pee.

3. Which of the following most accurately describes your take on life:

a. It sucks and then you die.

b. It’s a test for what’s going to happen after you die.

c. It’s like an amusement park ride, sometimes exciting and sometimes it makes you want to die.

d. It’s a beautiful romp and death? It’s just a temporary illusory bump.

4. The universe is:

a. Limitless

b. Abundant

c. Strangely accommodating

d. All of the above.

Check your score here:

1. If most of your answers were “A”: You are a powerful creator, constantly using the law of attraction.

2. If most of your answers were “B”: You are a powerful creator, constantly using the law of attraction.

3. If most of your answers were “C”: You are a powerful creator, constantly using the law of attraction.

4. If most of your answers were “D”: You are a powerful creator, constantly using the law of attraction.

5. If you didn’t even take the quiz: You are a powerful creator, constantly using the law of attraction.

Okay, so it was a trick quiz. And I could have just told you going in: You can’t NOT use the law of attraction. To question whether or not you do is like questioning whether or not you use gravity.

So here are three questions I actually like better:

1. Given the fact that your thoughts, beliefs and expectations play the starring role in your life experience, did you get up this morning and consciously create your day?

2. Did you get up this morning and purposely decide what kind of day you were going to have?

3. If not, what’s stopping you?

Okay, my friends, as I like to say on Friday, get out there and have the VERY BEST weekend of your life. #222 Forever!

My vision board for the planet

April 20, 2020 152 Comments

“If we don’t use this time for change, we will have missed an insane opportunity.”–Noah Elias

This may come as a surprise to some of my readers, but I’ve never been big on vision boards. Mainly because the stuff most people paste on them—fancy cars, oversized houses, etc.–don’t interest me all that much. The things I get excited about are invisible, non-material. You can’t exactly paste things like compassion, creativity and joy onto a cardboard poster.

But I do believe 100 percent in the theory behind vision boards. You make an intention, send out a request and voila! it manifests right before your eyes. Intentions, we now know, have causative power. Indeed, consciousness plays a pivotal role in the establishment of physical reality.

For three decades the Princeton Engineering Anomalies Research (PEAR) lab studied the interaction of human consciousness on the material world. What they discovered is that individuals working alone to alter random generating machines had modest success, but the true power came when the whole world got involved. The machines literally went crazy during the Indian Ocean tsunami, for example, or after Princess Diana’s car accident. Four hours BEFORE the first plane hit the towers during 9-11 the PEARS machines “knew” something was about to go down.

I can only imagine how the machines (they’ve been duplicated at locations around the world) are reacting to collective consciousness now. So here’s what I’d like to propose:

Knowing that our thoughts create vibrations that determine the unfoldment of our planet and knowing that, if we work together, we can play an important role in the revolutionary changes that are taking place, I propose we create a planetary vision board.

I don’t care about the brand of car I drive or how big my house is, but I would be SO PROUD to create a planet, a society that:

Recognizes the connectedness of all living things.
Values the power of love and uses it to make all decisions at all times.
Governs with principles that embody health, well-being, dignity and prosperity for all.
Loses interest in accumulating wealth and material things. As musician Mikel Jollett recently tweeted, “After you reach $999 million, how about you get a trophy that says “I won capitalism” and we name a dog park after you? And every red cent after that goes to schools and health care.”
Knows true security doesn’t comes from physical things, but from the unseen forces of creativity, spirituality and love. Yes, love–real love is the mightiest power on earth.

In the comments section below, please add your vision and know that your thoughts and consciousness are contributing to the future of humanity.

Love, only love,

Pam

Finally! A year of unremitting miracles

January 1, 2018 40 Comments

“If I have a problem I cannot seem to walk away from, there is a belief or thought, an obstruction of flow to the Presence of Truth.”—Michele Longo-O’Donnell
miracles
Rapturous New Year, my friends!!!

When I wrote E-Cubed, I begged Hay House to print it upside down. I requested this unconventional layout to make the point that everything we know is backwards, wrong side up. To avoid confusion, Hay House allowed one upside down page.

In a nutshell, that’s the first 50 lessons of a Course in Miracles. What we have learned about the world is the exact opposite of how it really is. We’ve been taught that possibilities are finite, that life is scary, that we need to protect ourselves. The Course is designed to undo and retrain our mind.

Here’s why I’ve stuck with it year after year:

1. It requires no effort on my part. In fact, the more I give up to the F.P. (the Course uses God terminology, but, as I pointed out in E-Squared, that word has more baggage than the Chicago airport at Thanksgiving), the more effective it becomes.

2. It can be practiced anywhere. I’ve worked the Course lessons on airplanes, in an African safari tent and in a Filipino hot springs.

3. When I started following this big, fat book in earnest, my life began to change. When I asked J.C. and the Holy S. (as I like to call them) for assistance, all sorts of miracles were orchestrated on my behalf.

So let’s review. I don’t have to do anything. It’s geographically flexible. Miracles appear before my eyes.

So shall we begin:

Lesson 1: Nothing I see means anything.

For one measly minute, you simply look around the room, out the window, whatever happens to be in your line of sight and say: this lamp doesn’t mean anything, this TV doesn’t mean anything, this computer doesn’t mean anything.

That’s it. As the Course says, you don’t have to believe it. You don’t even have to like it. Just follow the damned instructions.

And for those who fear I will no longer share miracles from readers, here’s a fun one I found in yesterday’s inbox:

“I just finished the first experiment. My results were beyond my wildest expectations. Within 24 hours I had received a call from a new riding student. Within 72 hours I won a contest that I entered the day after starting the experiment, with a local radio station, worth over $1,000 in prizes. Within that 72 hours I also received a $25 gift card for Safeway from my office as well as a second call from another new riding student. I’m not sure I’ve ever smiled, laughed and cried that much in 72 hours.”

Have a great day, my friends!

Another pair of miracles from the annals of magic and enchantment

September 29, 2017 12 Comments

“The world is throbbing with rich treasures, beautiful souls and interesting people.”–Henry Miller

As you know if you’ve been attending this party for any time at all, I hear about miracles every day. Readers write me with their “You’re never going to believe this” stories.

Here are two that recently tickled my fancy:

1. “So I asked the Universe, the “Dude,” to send me a clear, indisputable sign that It exists and It has my back in the next 48 hours. In response, I received a rainbow over the back of my farm. I’m a lawyer. A rainbow isn’t indisputable. I’ve seen a bazillion in my short 50 years; so, while it was amazing and beautiful, it wasn’t enough to convince me. Noah got a rainbow… now THAT was something – for Noah, not for me. Try again.

“So, the Universe, just to be clear, sent me a sign I could not deny.

“I love foxes. I have been a fox hunter for almost 14 years. (No. We don’t kill foxes. We find them, chase them with hounds, and revel at their incredible intelligence!) I love everything about them, from their genus and species (Vulpes Vulpes) to their unbelievable cunning.

“There is a fox that lives at Bourbon Spring Farm, where I live in an apartment in the barn. I call him the Colonel, after Col. E. H. Taylor, the best bourbon on the planet. He is long and lanky, and BOLD, stopping at the barn some days to groom himself while I marvel at his elegance.

“I was awakened one morning, some time between 3 AM and 5:30, to an odd sound outside my window. The Colonel was barking furiously! If you have ever heard a fox bark, you know it sounds similar to a short, hoarse screaming yell. The Colonel barked for quite some time, clearly telling someone SOMEthing. Then I heard his barks move farther away from the barn toward his home in the woods until I could hear it no more.

Okay, so I wanted a clear, undeniable sign that the Universe is out there and has my back, and I got it. In all my years of seeing foxes – and I have been near many foxes, I have never heard one speak until that day. I have no idea what upset the Colonel so that morning, but having heard him speak so clearly and so closely, I think I can now move back into the other E Squared experiments with the belief that what I ask for WILL manifest.

2. “I got E3 last year before a vacation in Tuscany with my partner and two more couples. We rented a house for a week in a tiny town called Volpaia. Very relaxed, I decided to try to come across the 8 or 9 things you proposed in an exercise. I remember it was number 222, a ball, someone with a funny hat, a song from my teenage years, etc.

“I gave it a week, amused but not with great expectations.

“First thing that happened was while we were deciding which road to take to another town. The narrow roads in Tuscany are very difficult, with very few signs. There was a lot of discussion in the car for quite a long time about which one to take. I was not involved in the discussion until finally I asked for the map (GPS was not an option). First thing I saw was that the most convenient road was number 222. I started to laugh and nobody understood why.

“The ball (I asked to see a ball in an unexpected place) appeared during a long walk between olive trees, far from the village. I fell that something had hit my foot and I saw a tennis ball. When I asked where it had come from, one of my friends said that he had almost stepped on it and felt like throwing it to me.

“Same day, a sign in German (language that I studied for 3 years and gave up) in a car plate which said something like “you are going to have a great day today”. A baby gave me a terrific smile and the last day in Florence I saw a marathon guy with an extremely high, sequel brilliant and extravagant hat, who ran past the sidewalk café where I was waiting for our new rental car. In the middle of the week, just as if I were in a very special state of mind and spirit, I had 3 wonderful and absolutely strange experiences.”

Thanks, my friends, for all your beautiful comments, your unending support. Now go out there and have the best weekend of your life.
