I woke up early this morning to write about Dr. Wayne Dyer. My husband, Ken, has been bugging me to blog about him, so I am going to go ahead and and get it done to make Ken happy. I think my husband has a kind of a ‘man crush’ on Dr. Wayne, don’t get me wrong I think he is really great too, but I have many spiritual heroes. I bought Ken the Audio CD ‘Inspiration: Your Ultimate Calling’, on a whim at Costco one day, I had heard of Dr. Dyer, but had never read any of his books. I liked the title, and thought Ken was really in need of some inspiration. Ken started his own business on the web over a year ago and sometimes struggles with the trials and tribulations that go hand in hand when starting a business. Ken doesn’t enjoy reading, so I thought an audio tape would be good for him. I figured he could listen to it while schlepping the kids around and running errands. Well, the CD sat on his desk for a couple of months. Finally I just stuck it in our mini-van hoping he would get ‘inspired’ to listen to it and if fact it worked. Actually….it really worked. Ken came home from taking the kids to daycare one day just beaming. He said, ‘Dr. Wayne Dyer rocks!’. We have both now listened to the CD several times. Dr. Wayne has a way of taking what spiritual leaders have been saying for centuries and put it together in a way that really resonates in the 21st century. He really shows his reader or listener that we are all divine and live in the most divine and beautiful world.
Ken, like my self, has a rocky relationship with religion, especially Christianity. He gets so angry when he thinks about all of the horrible deeds that are done in the name of religion. He seethes at the hypocrisy of our leaders claiming to be moral Christians, and then signing off on wars that kills thousands of people for financial reasons disguised as saving us all from radical Islamics. There wouldn’t be radical Islamics if it weren’t for these greedy so called ‘moral’ Christians. The past decade has really turned Christianity sour for both my husband and I. Thank goodness for Dr. Wayne. He has really taught us the God is all good. He often includes quotes from Jesus in his writings and has made Ken and I realize that Jesus was an amazing man and maybe is the real deal. It is greed that has twisted the teaching of Jesus in some self rightous quest for power.
Dr. Wayne Dyer has taught us how to bring peace to our lives, to really see how amazing the world is and just how truly luck we all our. I also just finished his book ‘10 Secrets for Success and Inner Peace’. What a great read. It’s a pretty short book, but with such a powerful message. I want to send it to everyone I know, because every single person could take away something from this small gem of a book.
I know that Dr Wayne has been writing for more than thirty years and I probably will never be able to catch up and be able to read all his books, but I can’t wait to read more from Dr. Wayne Dyer.
