About Lester Levenson
Lester Levenson was a man who had mastered life’s greatest challenge. In 1952, at age 42, Lester, a physicist and successful entrepreneur, was at the pinnacle of worldly success, yet he was an unhappy, very unhealthy man. He had many health problems including depression, an enlarged liver, kidney stones, spleen trouble, hyperacidity, and ulcers that had perferated his stomach and formed lesions. He was so unhealthy, in fact, that after having his second coronary, his doctors sent him home to his Central Park South penthouse apartment in New York City to die.
Lester was a man who loved challenges. So, instead of giving up, he decided to go back to the lab within himself and find some answers. Because of his determination and concentration, he was able to cut through his conscious mind to find what he needed.
What he found was the ultimate tool for personal growth— a way of letting go of all inner limitations. He was so excited by his discovery that he used it intensively for a period of three months. By the end of that period, his body became totally healthy again. Furthermore, he entered a state of profound peace that never left him through the day he died on January 18, 1994.
What Lester discovered firsthand is that we are all unlimited beings, limited only by the concepts of limitation that we hold in our minds. These concepts of limitation are not true; furthermore, because they’re not really true, they can easily be released or discharged.
Lester’s experience made him understand that not only could he practice this technique himself, he could teach others how to do it as well. As a result, he began working with people, both in small groups and individually.
Since his discoveries happened so quickly and without warning or preperation, he had no language to describe his discoveries and what he was experiencing. The first place he looked for an appropriate language to use to help others was in the Bible. And he became good friends with several evangelical ministers.
He then went on to read many books both from the west and the east in order to find the right language to be of service. He eventually settled on his own unique way of describing his experience and his own unique ways of sharing this experience in a useful way with others.
Lester believed strongly that personal growth was not dependent on any external source, including a teacher, and he did not want to be anyone’s guru. But, because of how elevated people felt around him, despite his protestations and attempts to keep it from happening, many of Lester’s students insisted on seeing him as a guru.
So, in 1973, Lester realized that his teachings needed to be formalized into a system that he could allow others to teach—leaving him out of the equation. A way to transform his powerful techniques for personal growth into a nonsectarian do-it-yourself system was devised, which is now called The Sedona Method.

The Timeless Wealth Secrets #6
How to Manifest Your Desire
By Lester Levenson
"We should start with the first step, consciously controlling matter. Whether we are aware of it or not, everyone is controlling matter all the time. Whether one wants to be a demonstrator or not, he is. It is impossible not to be a creator all the time.
"Everyone is creating every day. We are not aware of it, because we just don't look at it. We have demonstrated or created everything we have! Every thought, every single thought, materializes in the physical world. It's impossible to have a thought that will not materialize (except that we reverse it).
"If we think the opposite right after we have a thought, with equal strength, we neutralize it. But any thought not reversed or neutralized will materialize in the future, if not
immediately. So this thing of demonstration that we are all trying so hard to accomplish, we are doing all the time, unconscious of the fact that we're doing it. All we need to do is to direct it consciously, and that we call demonstration.
"Everything that everyone has in life is a demonstration. It couldn't come into our experience had we not had a thought of it at some time prior.
If you want to know what your sum total thinkingness is, look around you. It has determined exactly what you now have. It is your demonstration! "If you like it, you may hold it. If you don't, start changing your thinking.
Concentrate it in the direction that you really want, until those thoughts become dominant over the subconscious thoughts; and when you begin consciously to demonstrate small things, you may then realize that the only reason why they are small is because you don't dare to think big.
"The exact same rule or principle that applies to demonstrating a penny applies to demonstrating a million dollars. The mind sets the size.
"Anyone who can demonstrate a dollar can demonstrate a million dollars."Become aware of the way you are demonstrating a onedollar bill and just increase it next time to a much larger amount. Take on the consciousness of the million, rather than the one-dollar bill.
"The material world is just an out-projecting of our minds into what we call the world and bodies. And when we realize that it is just an out-projecting of our minds just a picture out there that we have created we can very easily change it, even instantly, by changing our thought!
"Now, to get beyond creation, we must go beyond the mind. Just beyond the mind is the realm of perfection where there is no need for creating. There is a higher state than creation. It's the state of Beingness, sometimes called awareness or consciousness. That state is just behind the mind. That's beyond creation.
"So, to repeat: everyone is demonstrating, creating, every moment what he or she is thinking. You have no choice. You are a creator, so long as you have a mind and you think.
"The mind finds it very difficult to imagine what it's like beyond creation, because the mind is involved constantly in creating. It's the creating instrument of the universe and everything that happens in the world.
So, if you take this thing called mind, which instrument is only a creator, and try to imagine what it is like beyond creation, it's impossible. The mind will never know God or your Self, because you have to go just above the mind to know God, your Self.
"To know the infinite Being that you are, to know what it's like beyond creation, you must transcend the mind. The final state is beyond creation. It is the changeless state. In creation, everything is constantly changing, and therefore the ultimate Truth cannot be there.
"So, to demonstrate what one wants, one needs to become aware of the fact that all we need to do is to think only of the things that we do want, and that is all that we would get, if we would do just that. Think only of the things you want, and that's what you'll be getting all the time, because the mind is only creative. Simple, isn't it?
the position of creator, and if you don't like it, all you have to do is to reverse it, and then you'll like it. [Lester did not believe this applies to affecting the outcome of another's life or circumstances.]
"Also, take credit for creating all the things that you don't like. Just say, "Look what I did." Because when you become aware that you've created things that you don't like, you're in
"After you can master matter by consciously creating that which you want, then master your mind and get beyond it. Any questions?"
