The best way to manifest anything ( I'm paraphrasing Stingray here) is to focus very clearly on what you want and then immediately stand out of the way of it coming by forgetting about it. This is exactly what manifesting experiment 1 is all about and allows you to do. When you Focus very clearly on something once and then let it go it will usually manifest very quickly because you haven't built up any negative thoughts about the absence of it. I guess this explains instant manifestations.

As @Flowsurfer said there is nothing special about the writing something down. However it does give you a stronger point of focus. If you feel better about writing down what you want then it will benefit you. Focusing and then Allowing are the two key elements in manifesting so I believe that anything that helps you focus the energy of what you want more clearly is going to be helpful. Focusing is really the easy part, it's the Allowing part more of us have difficulty with:)

Writing things down brings your desire Into physical form.

Writing helps you gain clarity and further refine your desire into something you absolutely know you want.

Writing allows your desire to stand alone without being surrounded by the clutter that normally exists in our thoughts regarding what we want.

Wealth beyond reason

Satori has already given a really good answer, so now i won't have to rack my brains to do so, lol. Having said that i would like to add something about the "stronger point of focus" that he mentions ... a freshly written word has about the same "force" as a focused thought, and both enter into resonance with the idea that they represent. As a physical object, the written word pulls in ambient energy, "magnetizes" itself, just as a sponge soaks up water, and this process continues and reaches a maximum after around 72 hours ... it becomes valorized. This process can be speeded up using various graphics, the best graphic probably being the decagon, the written word is placed on the decagone

and the "word" becomes valorized to it's maximum value in a matter of seconds depending on the size of the decagon, the bigger the decagone the faster it works ... have fun

here is the servranx graphic number 52 the decagon

Update 2 feb 2013 - Whilst on the subject of 10 anchor points, base 10 is the vibration of the planet earth ... that can be represented by the magic square, consisting of 9 numbers, the circumference representing the 0 ... and explains beautifully why the symbol of the earth is a cube and the number 4 ... all this fits in with the nine star ki, the bashar enneagrammatic circuit, the four basic regions of the earth, fire, water, air and earth ... and the ten worlds described in the quabala and many other systems of thought.

I believe writing down the things enable one to see what he/she desires clearly, and it is same as visualizing your intention. But let me tell few other things as well.

We all are vibrational entities and we are attracting things that match our current vibrations. When we are thinking about/writing down our goals, we are giving energy to it. Our state of mind, our thought process, our brain all start to vibrate with a rhythm. And this is what attracts the thing.

There is no point on writing something down and the very next moment feeling the lack of it, as we are vibrating the lack here. So the best thing would be to change the way one feels and guiding the emotion to a level where you will have only abundance. A desire once made, is granted immediately. But to fill the physical gap, we need to fill our inner void first.

Even if you are not getting enough time to write down your thoughts, you can very well judge them by noticing how you are feeling when you think about them. We are the creator here, and every seconds we are creating thoughts (things). And when there is no resistance or lack present, there is no other way left than moving towards your beautiful goal. :)

Have fun.

if he writes thoughts are put to words,
and he sounds them out as if from an
auditory channel seeking
existence, a space in time
he knows not if it be necessary

I find that expectation is of primary importance. I have tried writing my future, using pictures, meditations, and even mind movies that I had made. What had brought the greatest result is expectation.

When we pray we are suppose to expect results. I used to get excited thinking about something I wanted saying, "I'll get one of those! I am going to get one of those! It will be so cool!" I would show my friends a picture in a magazine and say I am going to get one of those. They say, "oh cool, when?" I don't know but I will have one someday."

Whatever it was, I would always get, it would find a way to me.

Yes, I believe that writing desire on a piece of paper might be helpful to fulfill all. There is an approach to accomplish it and you have to zero in on your fantasies, you have to get your issues settled. There must be no interruption for you on the grounds that each fantasy or want requires some sort of penance and some sort of solidarity to accomplish it. You will be able to visualize what exactly you need and through that, you can manifest your desire into reality. We have to believe in ourselves and we can see our actual potential.
