Diana West reviews books for many newspapers, including the Washington Journal. She has written essays for numerous publications as a regular contributor to TPI Network and offers up a condensed critique of: Ordaining Reality:
“What makes Joseph E. Donlan’s invaluable resource stand apart is connecting Ordaining Reality to the intellectual paralysis that imperils today’s population who seems more intrigued with video games and special effects when the most noblest forays that capably exude our shared human experience has been historically advanced in tandem with taking in good, quality lierature.”

What People Are Saying
“Donlan’s book takes the reader on a fascinating tour of the true nature of reality, exploring how each and every one of us is engaged in orchestrating sweeping changes in the physical world by maintaining a positive focus on desired results. As each of us gains a better understanding of the basic principles involved in Ordaining Reality, we become better able to positively influence our future and the future of the entire planet.” — Cynthia Sue Larson, author of Aura Advantage. www.realityshifters.com
“Ordaining Reality succeeds in clearly explaining the connection between Western scientific thought and Eastern spirituality. Donlan, drawing from multiple sources, makes complex information easily accessible leaving the reader with many thought provoking ideas and new questions about the nature of reality.” — Ilana Marks Radio/TV host & author of The G-String Theory. www.ilanamarks.com
In a word – FANTASTIC! I especially enjoyed Donlan’s multi-faceted explanation of physics and the layered manner in which he presents this complex topic. It helped me piece together many por-tions of life’s puzzles…with the underlying notion that Eastern thought can and should compliment Western ideals – including philosophy, science, and mysticism. Of particular significance to me was the “Ah ha!” moment it inspired within my own perspective of reality…Of course, the greatest benefit of this book is not solely the ability to understand this link, but to help me ordain my own reality. — Erin Phifer, author of: Boosting the Mind’s Eye: Visualization for Social and Emotional Intelligence.
“This book, emphasizes the ultimate reality of the metaphysical world in Eastern thought…”– Paul H. Carr, Ph.D. physics. Author of: Beauty in Science and Spirit. www.MirrorOfNature.org
“Author Joseph E. Donlan introduces readers to the world of understanding thought consciousness with Ordaining Reality, a trilogy of books written to empower readers from every background with the ability to create, or at the very least, strongly influence their own future in a positive manner.” http://www.authorbookzone.webs.com
“Bridging the divide is what Donlan’s book does in such a way that it helps to dispel space odyssey fears many people speculate about. Delving into consciousness is highly technical and specialized, deeply divided into subfields that often fail to communicate with one another. Ordaining Reality defines how these subfields have grown up around particular institutions and individual researchers, while offering up solutions to longstanding differences of opinion. A fine balance is achieved in relating the application of widely differing tools all the while pointing out to the reader exactly just how AI can and should be implemented.” Author Book Zone.
“Let all be forewarned… The Donlan revolution is gaining strength.” Robert Ensign
Ernest J. Akyroyd… lists Joseph E. Donlan in his Profiles in writing as -”…the new breed of author undeterred by intimidation that emanates from publishing houses.”
Best Books… praises Ordaining Reality detailing it…”An epic triumph for the author’s readers.”
“If ever a bestseller was pre-ordained, this is the one.”— Intelligence by design
“…Author Donlan’s book will readily gain a foothold that leaves a lasting impression firmly stamped upon you.” — David Sawyer
In Touch… considers Ordaining Reality a must read saying:”Every iota of this book consists of verve.”
“…this mind power notion is an intriguing concept.
— Candace Russell, Editor The Book Garden
“This is the book of reference that will guide you to your inner be-ing.”— Kierkegaard Review
“Cogito ergo sum aka I think, therefore I am. A theme advanced very well in this book written very well. ” — Ernest J. Akyroyd.

Can thoughts affect the outcome of the Lottery?
Hi Joe,
I have some questions about manifesting money.
I was inspired by the story of Cynthia Stafford who read some books about the law of attraction and visualized for 4 months winning 112 million dollars in 2007. When the California State lottery reached that amount, she bought a $2 ticket and won the exact amount she had written down on a piece of paper and visualized.
I would like to do the same…as I would like to help others with my winnings and the more I have, the more I have to give.
My problem is in using the correct technique to achieve my goal. Most teachers of the law of attraction say you have to be specific about what you want but let go of HOW you will receive it. So if someone wanted 10 million dollars, they would not focus on winning the lottery, they would just focus on the 10 million dollars and let the Universe deal with the details. What do think about that? Should you be specific about the WHAT and the HOW?
Secondly, how long should someone meditate? Should they do it only once a day or several times? Once someone is in a meditative state, how do they send out their intention? Would I visualize myself winning the money? having the money in my bank account? etc.
Thank you.
Jamie
How to reach into your inner being
Many readers have asked me for help and/or more instructions concerning how to reach their inner being. This is an important component of Ordaining Reality, and is discussed in the final chapter of all three books in the Ordaining Reality series. Although it is important, it is also highly personal. Because it is personal, it is challenging to describe in specific terms. Further, when you are in this state, you are, by definition, detached. Although I struggle to define how I feel during meditation as it progresses towards its spiritual peak, I shall try. After meditating for a short while I begin to sense that my conscious mind is quieting; i.e.; I notice a diminution of the internal chatter of my left hemisphere. I next sense that this quietude permits a deeper, simpler part of my being to surface; or, more appropriately, to emerge. As I sense my inner being increasingly surfacing, I get the increasing sensation that this is the essence of my being. I also begin to sense that I have reached into the truest part of who I am, and begin to sense that my sensed boundaries (i.e., the sensation of having a physical bodily boundary) dissolve. As my boundary continues to fade, I progressively sense a linkage with all that is. When I attain this inner state, the sensation of reaching my essence and gaining what seems to me as a universal connection is more than a metaphor of who I am; I sense that it is who I am. I feel that I have entered upon the epicenter of my unchanging self. I feel that I have revealed the part of me that remains when I peel away my inhibitions, insecurities, fears and worries, and even my ambitions. I sense that I have reached into the recess of my subconscious mind, because it is what my conscious mind is not. It is what my conscious mind keeps hidden; it is what I am beneath the cloak of my conscious mind. I believe that Freud would label this “my Id”. I dare call it “my soul”.
In the final chapter of each of my three books I advise the readers how to reach this essence and how to utilize it to ordain their futures. I will post other mediation techniques on this blog to help you reach your inner being, for it is here that you are most able to influence change around you. I welcome comments from readers who have achieved this, or who are struggling to reach deep inside.
A Query
Hi Joe,
I bought your book and am reading it.I will be letting you know how it turns out(and is turning out).
Have you ever heard of a book called “A Happy Pocket Full of Money” by David Cameron Gikandi? I had skimmed this book in the past but in reading your book had to revisit it.
According to information available from amazon; the book was published “Publisher: Xlibris Corporation (December 19, 2008)”
Your book was published “Publisher: Universal Publishers; 2nd,Revised edition (December 5, 2008)”
The discussion of quantum mechanics etc in chapter one sounds uncannily like what I have been reading in your book for the past few weeks. Your research is approximately 30 years old.I am trying to find how long this author has been researching his subject but is so far unsuccessful. I apologize for the extensive quotes but you can just scan them.Wanted you to get a true sense of what was found.
Here are some extensive quotations
Chapter One
Quantum Physics: Knowing what you and the world are made of is the first key to knowing how to make it your way
“Quantum physics tells us that it is the act of observing an object that causes it to be there where and how we observe it. Energy is the sub-atomic particles that in turn make up atoms and finally matter. This energy exists as waves spread out over space and time. Only when you exercise observation do these waves become particles localized as a space-time event, a particle at a particular time and ‘place’. As soon as you withdraw observation, they become a wave again. So, as you see, your observation, your attention to something, and your intention, literally creates that thing as a space-time event. This is scientific. In other chapters, we shall see how to focus, concentrate, and guard your attention, intention, and thought to create your reality exactly. ”
Joe, I know that information about quantum mechanics is readily available but I honestly wonder!
“No solid object is solid. It is made up of rapidly flashing packets of energy. Billions and trillions of packets of energy. They flash in and flash out of that space where the ‘object’ is. They do not just stay there. So, why does a human body or a car look like a solid continuous object when we now know that it is actually a rapidly flashing field of energy? Think of a TV image. When you watch a movie, you see a person walk across the screen smoothly, yet in reality it is just a film reel with 24 slightly different frames a second so your eyes do not detect the gap between the frames. Even each of those frames is a composition of billions of light photons flashing at the speed of light. That is what your world is – a rapid flash that causes an illusion of being ‘solid’ and ‘continuous’. Once you understand what your world is really, truly, you start to understand it’s true behavior and nature. You then change your view of it. And with your changed perception, you change your creation of it. This is the first step to wealth. ” “Physicists have also discovered that quantum ‘particles’ make decisions. They are powered by intelligence. Not only that, they also know, instantly, wha decisions are being made by other particles anywhere else in the universe! Th synchronicity across space and time is instantaneous – they ‘communicate’ without taking any time or crossing any space. In fact, they also move instantaneously without having to go across space or take time. They can get from point A to B without having to cross the space in between, and point A an B can be in different times. Remember that quantum ‘particles’ are not particle as you would normally think of a particle. They are not ‘things’ that are at a particular ‘place’ and ‘time’ – they are spread across space and time.  ” “Anything you do, any thought you have, ripples on forever and changes the composition of the whole universe, however small that change is. ”
Joe, does this sound familiar?:
Chapter Two The Truth About Time: It does not exist except as you say it does
“Time is a funny thing. A very funny thing. The biggest trick time ever played on us was to make us think it was real, and that we were under its full control. Yet, time is a complete illusion, a strong and persistent illusion. What wonderful news that is! Time is an illusion created by you. Once you understand how this illusion is created by you, you then begin to re-create it as you wish, consciously and deliberately instead of unconsciously and accidentally as you may have been doing. What is time? What do I have to do with time? How should I think and be about time so that I may experience wealth and other things in larger quantities faster? This chapter will begin to answer these questions. In other chapters in this book, these concepts will become more real to you. The only time that truly exists is Now… ” I double checked the bibliography in your book and the above author nor book was there. A topic which you deal with in your book and on your blog is whether to be specific or not. Here is another quote from the above mentioned book “For example, many people wish to have a nice car. But the mistake they make is to have ‘get a nice car’ as their goal. What do they expect the universe to give them? There is physically no such car called Nice Car. Be crystal -clear! Envision the exact car, its make, model, color, options, and all that. Go to the car yard or look it up on the Internet and know exactly, or as exact as possible, what it is you wish to have as a nice car. Then envision that every day – the more you think about it, the closer you get it to you. This is the effective way to image. Life is images of the Mind, expressed. Do you wish to travel to another country for a dream holiday? Go to the travel agency and get all the details from them, get the brochures, flight itinerary, prices, hotels and car reservations, and all that. Build up the whole trip, exactly, in your mind in full color and spectacle. ”
I look forward as usual to your enlightened response and let me again say I absolutely cannot put down your book for long.
