Wayne Dyer is a blessing

My cousin recently met Wayne Dyer and she asked him for a blessing. He replied, "You are a blessing." My cousin has been continually struggling with cancer and certainly needed to hear this truth. She sent my dad an audio tape version of "There's a Spiritual Solution," and I borrowed it. There is so much wisdom in these pages/audio tapes. (The tapes are from a PBS broadcast based on the book.) I was initially reluctant in believing that there are no just resentments...but he knows what he's talking about and helped me to see things differently. One of my favorite antidotes to discouragement in these tapes is Wayne's description of "the burning desire." Wayne says, "the burning desire is like having an inner candle flame that never flickers. So the worst goes b/f you, this thing can't be put out. No one out there can tell you you can't do this or you can't have this. In fact, when other people do tell you you can't have it or you can't do it, all it does for those who have the burning desire is reinforce that this is something I am going to be able to accomplish. And I will use your skepticism and I will use the doubt that you provide to motivate me even further." Talk about turning something on its head! (I remember Ted Turner likewise stated that he just loves when someone tells him he can't do something or someone will try to limit him in some way. He then just enjoys even more proving to himself that he can accomplish his goals and will use other people's doubt and lack of confidence in him as motivation. Those of us who have had our fair share of setbacks and naysayers really need to cling to this type of thinking!) The only problem with listening to these tapes is that I get choked up so easily, and there is a plethora of heartrending anecdotes that Wayne shares. Mr. Dyer has culled from many sources great wisdom and attitudes. I love the quote he included from "A Course in Miracles," which states that you have no problems except in delusionally thinking that you are separate from your source.

Tuning To Higher Frequencies In Giving, Means Receiving

I found this an excellent book, however before you read this positive review, I will say that this is somewhat unrealistic. It's easy to say that mental and psychic abilities and mantras and mental visualizations are the reasons and cures to illnesses when you are a successful 6 digit author. Yet this book is very helpful in personal transformation in dealing with our circumstances and training our thinking to achieve peace and strength. Dwyer starts his book five of Pantanjali aphorisms or steps to access spiritual direction in recognition of higher vibrational frequencies, realization of higher infinite spiritual force where we surrender ourselves in an empty mind from conceptions, exhibiting generosity and gratefulness, appreciation for the simplicity of life in a cheerful disposition. The solution is a change in thinking realizing a connection we have to a higher energy source or God, which ever you which to call or perceive it. Here we must cease to identify our selves with our bodies and minds but rather part of a teleology or higher existence of spirit as a spiritual being in a human experience, to learn detachment from the false identification of ourselves as separate beings, now seeing ourselves as part of an infinite. When we identify with this higher spiritual self we can find an inner calmness that removes itself from the disturbances of our illusionary egos that try to convince us of a separateness. Like the calm universe, the force and power that holds the planets in orbit, the sun burning, this is the force that we must identify with and trust. It is an inner calm, peaceful recognition. It is our union with God or the infinite, whereas sin is our disunity in illusionary obstacles of this life that overwhelm us. This new identification empowers us from our union with a higher universal force. Its all matter of energy. Lower frequency relates to negativity, problems and disunity, as in fear, anxiety, stress, depression and ego centricity, while the higher frequencies relate to spirit and harmonious movement toward unity, health and wholeness. The idea is that we can choose to stay connected to the higher spirit rather than the lower when we recognize the differences and make the necessary changes, by removing energy obstacles as in letting go, forgiving, moving away from other people that try to bring us down to negativity and so forth. Its adjusting our selves to tune into the higher frequencies which in turn give us the ability to express ourselves through such in guidance and serving others. We change our agenda from "what's in it for me" to "how can I serve. " By giving ourselves away we connect to the higher spirit which reverberates back to us in receiving. It's a matter of giving our energy to the higher sources of serving, giving, generosity. We have to avoid giving our energy to all those that attempt to pull us down into their anger, gossip, so-called problems which bring us down. Our failure to let go, to forgive,

Outstanding book by Dr. Dyer

Having read several of Dr. Dyer's books in the past including 'Erroneous Zones' 'Pulling Your Own Strings' and others, I found this newest book by Dr. Dyer a real treat.In There's A Spiritual Solution to Ever Problem, Dr. Dyer draws from many spiritual traditions and especially from the prayer of St. Francis of Assisi. Dr. Dyer helps us unplug from the material world and awaken to the divine within.I highly recommend this book. Another would be The Purpose Driven Life by Rick Warren.

Thank You, Wayne!!!

This is a wonderful and wise book, full of love, hope and practical advice. It teaches the importance -- and explains the rewards -- of living a life with a strong spiritual center in a world that is frighteningly materialistic, and does so in a way that is refreshing, uplifting and entertaining.If you're looking for a lift, read this book right away. It's probably Wayne's best, and, in my book, that's saying a lot!!
