About Dr. Portinga
Dean R. Portinga, Th.D. Ph.D. joined his wife Dr. Bobbie Stevens in Unlimited Futures in 1986, after having served, for the past 7 years, as the director of the Charlson Research Foundation, a foundation conducting research in the physical sciences, life sciences and spirituality.
He facilitated many of the Unlimited Futures courses, and due to his background in theology, and having written his doctoral dissertation on comparative religions, the course participants begin asking him about how the principles they were learning in the course related to their religions.
One of the things that occurred to him, during this time, was that the principles that his wife had discovered were written about in many sacred writings through out history. This was news to her since she was not a student of theology, and came by her discoveries intuitively, through a process of human potential development.
At the request of the Unlimited Futures participant’s, Dr. Portinga put together a series of workshops on what he called spiritual insight. These workshops became very popular, and as a result we started a new division of Unlimited Futures, which we call Spiritual Insight.
Dr. Portinga is now the president of the Spiritual Insights division. He is still a facilitator of the Unlimited Futures Programs, and also provides a home study program, an e book and other information about bridging the gap between religion and spirituality through his Spiritual Insights Division.
About Unlimited Futures
In 1968 Dr. Stevens made a discovery that totally changed her life; the results of which inspired her to create and provide programs for the development of the unlimited potential we all have within ourselves.
She has now written a book entitled Unlimited Futures: How to Understand the Life You Have and Create the Life You Want, to share this discovery with many more people. Unlimited Futures helps people to understand the role they play in creating their own life experiences, and to use the innate ability we all possess for taking charge of our lives. With specific examples, Dr. Stevens shows us how our limited beliefs, which cause so much stress in our lives, keep us in the “same old ruts”.
She then provides step-by-step guidelines for developing our inner ability to function from a much more effective and efficient level. Unlimited Futures teaches us to recognize some major principles that govern our lives, and how to live in harmony with these principles to create whatever we want: health, better relationships, a fulfilling career, a life partner, wealth, happiness and inner peace. Dr. Stevens expertly guides us through this process, as she has for thousands of individuals who have now created more successful and fulfilling lives than they ever would have thought possible.

Hello,
I have some questions for you about buying your book and then two very specific ones.
1-Is there ANY difference between your 1st edition (hardcover) book and your 2nd edition (softcover) book “Unlimited futures”? In other words, did you change or rewrite anything when you wrote the 2nd edition? Are both books identical in every way?
2-Even though I am paying through paypal.com, what shipping method is used? In other words, how long will it take to receive your book? I am in California.
3-In order to manifest something (and I know there are other steps involved but please answer this specific question), ‘Are we just supposed to be clear and know what we desire OR are we supposed to be clear and know that we “already have” what we desire OR is it both?’
4-Along the same lines, I have been taught that if we think/know/say that something “will” happen then it never will, which leads to this question…’Are we supposed to think/know/say that something “has” happened OR that something “is” happening OR is it both of those things?’
Thanks for taking the time to answer all of my questions.

Hi Phil,
Thanks for joining my blog. To answer your question about the difference between the first edition of my book and the second edition. The first edition is a beautiful hard cover book that you will want for your library. I did make some changes in the second edition. The information is basically the same, but we reformatted the second edition and gave you space for writing in the margins. We also created pull outs to bring to your attention key points. You really should have one of each. The hard cover for your library and the solf cover to use as a workbook.
As for the method of shipping, I believe we use UPS and you should receive your books within 5 – 10 days in
California.
As for you question about manifesting your desires. When you get my book you will see that there are seven steps in the creative process. The first is getting very clear about what you want to manifest, then you need to visualize it. Create a picture in your mind with your choice already accomplished. Put yourself in the picture. It should just be a picture of something that you would see if your desire has been fulfilled. The third step in the process is “Acceptance”.
This brings us to your next question. When you think or say something will happen you have not completed the acceptance step of the process. It is our limited beliefs that blocks the energy necessary to fulfill our visions. In order to create what we want, we must be able to accept it. If we have accepted it we would no longer say that it will happen. If you have been successful in accepting it in your mind then for all practical purposes it is done. So in that case you would say I have or I am.
I hope I have answered your questions. Get the books and lets talk some more. Thanks.
Bobbie
