In Part 2, Rev. Ken Daigle and Rev. Ellen Debenport bridge the gap between ancient New Thought principles and 21st-century research. Ken reveals that manifestation is no longer just a spiritual theory—it is a neurological reality backed by scientists like Adam Grant (Wharton) and Barbara Fredrickson. By merging raw, vulnerable testimony with modern data, Ken demonstrates how these exact tools helped him navigate bankruptcy and life-threatening diagnoses to achieve a life of spectacular abundance.

Ellen Debenport:
Why write a whole book about this and why now?

Ken Daigle:
Well, because I thought there was so much new information. Over the last decade, everything I studied and read was confirming what we had been taught in New Thought and what we teach every day. But there was proof…there was proof that this is how this works neurologically, this is how it works psychology and psychology-wise, and this is how it works in social science, how it works in relationship with each other, from Barbara Fredrickson and James Doty to all kinds of different scientists. Adam Grant from Wharton, written whole books about giving and receiving. He has a book called Give and Take, and I devoured that book. And it’s all what we’ve been taught about giving and tithing and being able to receive.

Ken Daigle:
And so I wanted to create a book that reflected all of that, the spiritual teachings that have enriched and saved my life. and also all the new science and the new understandings that back it up and give us some great life points to be able to foster these teachings even further and to push the edge of the envelope out.

Ken Daigle:
So I wanted to write it from my perspective, from my struggles, and from my overcoming of those situations. And to be as real and as vulnerable and as honest as I can. Yes, I have been broke. Yes, I’ve declared bankruptcy. Yes, I have been diagnosed with life-threatening diseases, and I am very abundant and very prosperous because I’ve applied these teachings and these processes and these practices in my life.
