Are you there, Dr. Dyer?

I am.

Hello. Hello.

It's good.

Hi, how are you?

Good to hear your voice.

Having a little technical problems, I think, here this morning. So we're on the regular phone right now.

We'll try and reconnect at the break and see if we can get you a little clearer to talk to everybody today. And we've got some people rolling in here to talk to you. Okay, so you're ready to take a couple of calls?

I am.

Let's start off with Kevin. We'll go to him. He's calling from Ohio today. And Kevin, welcome to the show. You're on with Dr. Wayne Dyer.

Thank you. I appreciate the chance to talk to him. Dr. Dyer, I work in an automotive-related industry, very negative times at work. I come on 4 days a week and have been for a number of months, and even have the chance where I travel to China with my work and and was interested in— read your, your Dow book and how you can— I mean, I listened to your tapes on the way to work and just trying to stay positive in that negative type of atmosphere. Look ahead, look beyond that, you know, outside the real world of having to work versus the real world of, you know, separating yourself from that. Right.

Well, I think— what kind of work? You work in the automotive industry? Is that what it is?

We supply the automotive industry, so we're very affected by the downturn in all the markets.

See, I just kind of look at it a little differently, and you may think, people listening may think, well, it's easy for you, you're Wayne Dyer and you've done well and blah, blah, blah. But I've always thought this way, so just let me just share. I see, and having written a book about the Tao Te Ching, Change Your Thoughts, Change Your Life, and produced a movie, you know, around this as well, I kind of, there's a song that I always have my daughter sing when she travels with me, it's called From a Distance. And it's like how much different the world looks and things look when you can get your ego and get yourself out of what it is that you are doing and begin to move back, move back, move back, almost in your meditation. So you begin to look down on what it is that you're doing and what your life is rather than looking at it from the inside out. You know what I mean? And in the Tao, it teaches us that, you know, that built into all, you know, good fortune is misfortune. And built into all misfortune is good fortune. And that's just the way of things, that in the material world there's nothing that is a straight line. Everything is crooked. Everything is peaks and valleys, ups and downs. And what we're in now, economically perhaps, and perhaps in your industry, is a very natural, a very natural thing. And rather than observing it from a place of worry and anxiety and stress and fear, you begin to observe it and, and notice it from a place of contentment and being totally, completely at peace with it. And then as you observe from that position, you begin to ask yourself, is this where I belong? Is this the thing I want to continue to do? If the automotive industry, or you supply the automotive industry, if this is the business that is shifting, that is changing, because every business shifts. I just saw a statistic the other day that said The top 10 jobs in 2010 did not exist in 2004. So that next year, you know, the top 10 jobs, in-demand jobs, didn't even exist 5 years ago. And most of the jobs that people are in now didn't exist 20 years ago. All of the people in the computer industry, all of the people in the telecommunications industry, all of the people in the music industry and so on, all of this is, you know, everything is in a constant state of change and flux. And you can get peaceful with that and then step outside of it and begin to see yourself. Perhaps instead of thinking of yourself as employed by a company that provides you with a job which gives you benefits and allows you to pay your mortgage and allow, you know, which is one way of thinking and looking at things. If it were me and I were you and your age and where you live in Ohio and so on, I would stop looking at my world that way. I wouldn't process it that way at all. In fact, I did exactly the same thing back in the 1970s when I was employed as a professor with a full-time job and a guaranteed tenure job for the rest of my life. But I began to look at it from a different perspective of how much in control am I? Do I want to always be here in the same school, in the same position, doing the same things as a professor? And I began to look outside of the box and do things a little bit differently. And within you, Kevin, there is something that calls you that probably has absolutely nothing to do with the automotive industry and the job that you're in and so on. But you probably are so conditioned to habitually think the way that you do that getting outside of that way of looking at it is almost impossible. Does that make sense, or am I—

Yeah, absolutely. It's very, very right on. You do, whether you call it fear, whether you call it complacency or whatever, you know, you You're the provider for the family, so you do this stuff.

And you begin to see yourself, you know, you provide for your family and this is the only way I've always done it and now I have this, but now this has all changed. And instead of just moving with the change, you know, and seeing that, okay, this automotive industry in the United States is a dinosaur in many ways. I'm not saying that from a good or a bad perspective, I'm just saying that's just the way it is. And if cars are going to be made by German automotive people and Japanese automotive people and they're going to be made here in the United United States. I mean, it's an industry that is shifting and that is changing. And that, uh, and I'm gonna, instead of staying where I am and wishing that it wasn't happening, I'm going to go with that change and I'm going to observe it all from a place of contentment. And then I'm going to trust my inner calling. And my question to you, Kevin, since you asked me one, is, um, what is that inner calling? What is there? There's something in you that pulls you. It's like a dharma of yours. Have you seen my movie?

No, I'm not. I've listened to probably— either read or listened to most of your tapes. In fact, it was a coincidence that one of my first trips to China, I heard the phrase Tao Te Ching, then I have your book and I actually have the tapes, and it's kind of led my trips and then your teachings about translating.

Inside each and every one of us, there is something that's— I call it the callings of the soul, and it has nothing to do with your body and your age and where you live and you're a man or anything like that. It has to do with something amorphous, something formless, something that you can't get your hands around. And that calling generally is what you're here for, but you just get a very— what is that? What strikes you about that, or does anything?

The only thing that ever comes to mind is that in part of my work, I get an opportunity to teach, lead people as far as I'm a manager. Like I said, I travel, but I teach some very basic statistics and quality practices. The time just passes, it just flies by. It's something I've always enjoyed.

Is that when you feel the most on purpose in your life? I really do.

My wife and I talked about that the other day. It actually helped lead me to advance in my career to get where I'm at now.

Let me tell you a little story. You got a minute? And it's a story about my daughter Serena, who is 23 years old, and she's at the University of Miami, and she's in graduate school. She's just finishing up her master's degree in international studies. And she said to me, she said, "I want to," she said, "The only thing that excites me is the idea of doing something about human trafficking." Do you know what that is?

Yeah.

Yeah, so I mean, everybody listening I'm sure knows. I mean, there are millions and millions of young people, particularly young girls, who are being sold every day, you know, into prostitution and into slavery and things like that. And it's happening all over our planet today in 2009. And every time she thinks about that or hears anything about it or reads something about it, she said, "But Dad," she said, "the only thing I can do is either go to law school to become a lawyer to do it, or I have to do it, you know, by getting involved with the government agencies that are involved with that." And so she's telling me all of the way that she's thinking. And I kept saying, "Okay, those are all in the box. Now what's outside of the box? Why don't you declare yourself, Serena, to be an expert on human trafficking?" Just declare it. This is something your father has done his entire life. Just declare, this is what I'm an expert on, and then go out and assume the feeling of that wish fulfilled. That is, go to the library, start looking up all of the materials that you can, start interviewing people who were involved in it, write a paper about it, write a book about it. You know, become the person at 23. You have the capacity to be able to do that. And then, you know, take what you have learned and what your ideas are and take it to the State Department or take it to wherever you want to take it and make your, you know, assume this, it's called the law of assumption, where you just simply assume what it is in your imagination is already real and you experience that and now you become that expert. And that's what I would say to you today, Kevin. I would say the same thing about, you know, you know about managerial things, you know statistical, you know what it takes to help people to become better at what it is that they do. Declare yourself an expert at that. Write your own guide for that. Start giving talks about that. And watch if you don't turn that into a career. That's what I've done my whole life. Rather than saying, you know, I have to work a certain way because I have, you know, people just think and live by habits their entire life. And as Wordsworth, the famous English poet, said, "Habits rule the unreflecting herd." The unreflecting herd. Don't be a part of the unreflecting herd who just can only see things as, you know, as jobs are disappearing and the economy is going terrible and so on. That doesn't have to happen for you. It doesn't have to happen for anyone, as long as you can learn how to change the way you look at things. And when you change the way you look at things, the things you look at change. They really do. I hope that helps.

It really did. Thank you. Thank you very much.

Thank you. God bless you, my friend.

Well, here's an interesting question. I'd like to see what you think about this one. Line 8, let's go to Nadine, and she's calling from Toronto. And welcome to the show, Nadine. You're on with Dr. Wayne Dyer.

Hi there.

Hi, Nadine.

Hi, I had a question about your talk last week, and, um, you were talking about excuses be gone, and, um, I wanted to get a bit of a clarification on what would be the difference between what would be an excuse and what, I guess, a decision— what, something that— I don't know how best to explain it without giving—

No, I know what you're saying. Yeah, I think I understand that. Well, I mean, I put the category of excuse into the, um, meaning it this way That it's any explanation that you have come up with that explains why you can't do what you want to do, why your life isn't working the way you want it to work, why things can't improve, why your relationships aren't happy, why money hasn't flowed into your life. You know, anything at all that we use to explain why my life isn't at the level that I would want it to be.

Okay.

And so we go through our lives and we have all kinds of things that we imagine would be our ideal. They're the callings of our soul. You know, I would like to be able to attract abundance into my life. I would like to have healthier life, you know, I would like to be able to get a particular job and so on. And the reason that I can't is— and then we go through all of this whole litany of reasons why it can't, you know, or, you know, where you are now and where I would like to get to, but I can't because I'm too old, I'm too tired, I'm too scared, I'm too, you know, whatever, I'm too busy. All of these are the, the, uh, they're sort of like the cop-outs. And I call excuses misalignments. You know, that really our job, I think, at least mine is, is to live what is called a God-realized life. You know, to live in harmony with your source. That is, however my source, which creates constantly everything into the universe, that invisibleness that we call the Tao, or we call God, or source, or spirit, or divine mind, whatever it is, however that thing thinks, however that, you know, invisibleness which is the source of all things, however it thinks, I want to be in harmony with that. I want to think, as Einstein said, I want to think like God thinks. And anytime I'm not thinking like God thinks, like, you know, if you imagine God thinking and saying, I'd like to make some more avocados, but I'm just too old, or I'm just too tired, or I've been doing this for such a long time, you know, the source doesn't ever come up with any reason why it can't. It's just constantly doing nothing but leaving nothing undone. And always staying in harmony. Anytime you're out of harmony or misaligned, with your source and how you think, then you usually come up with some kind of an explanation, and that explanation I call excuses. Okay, that makes sense.

Yeah, I guess in my situation, and maybe if I give an example you can clarify it a little better for me. Sure, I'll try and make it as short as possible. My father left my family before I was 2 years old. He lived in the same city as me, but I had really no contact with him until I was about 13 when I realized I had a half-sister, that he immigrated into Canada, and I developed a very close relationship with her. And then he became very verbally abusive to me, and I decided at 16 I was gonna stop talking to him completely, and I cut everyone off in that family for forever, pretty much, up until recently. I finally got in touch with my sister, and we've— I've asked for forgiveness, and I've received that. So now we're friends again, but I still have no relationship with my father, and I told her that. I said I'm not interested in that anymore because I've let go of that. So right now in my life, I feel really grateful for everything that I have. I have a good job, I have an amazing partner, uh, we're getting married, um, you know, happy with everything else, like all my other friends and everything. And I just, I feel like that's the only part that maybe isn't I want to say resolved, but at the same time, I feel like I've let go and I feel like I've forgiven him for everything because I really— I don't feel like I would be who I am if it wasn't for the experience I had.

Right. So, and he may have been the greatest teacher that ever came into your life, and he may have been the most influential person that came into your life. Yeah, he may have been. I think my father was, and I never met the man, and he walked away. He was Canadian also and just, uh, you know, was very abusive and alcoholic and died at the age of 49 of cirrhosis of the liver. And my one regret that I have in my life is that I wasn't able to make contact with him, and I tried. But what I've done is I, uh, I surround him with love all the time. And what I would ask you is, I don't know, are you religious at all? I mean, do you have a religious persuasion? Are you Christian or Jewish?

Um, not anything in particular.

Yeah, but the people that you admire, I mean, are probably those great spiritual teachers who came here teaching us of how to be more loving, divine, good human beings. And I always ask the question, you know, what would Jesus do? Or what would Buddha do? Or, you know, what would Lao Tzu do in a situation like yours? And what I would recommend to you, Nadine, is that you do have an unresolved— because it's the first example that came up, and I know that you live with that, and especially daughters to their fathers, it's— that's really a huge one. I would really do everything I possibly can to create a loving atmosphere with him. How do you think he feels towards you?

I really don't know. From things that I've heard, I assume that he loves me, but I'm not sure because he's very aggressive verbally. I've never been able to be around that because it kind of frightens me.

That's a good thing for you to work on too, is to not be frightened around other people's words because that's giving his words and what comes out of his mouth an enormous amount of power. Yeah, imagine if you were in his company and he started verbally abusing you and you were to smile and stop and say, uh, you ever watch the show 60 Minutes?

Sometimes.

Yeah, Michael, Mike Wallace used to be on. He was on with Shirley MacLaine one time. You know who Shirley MacLaine is?

Yeah.

And so he's known as the tough guy who always is sort of verbally, you know, assaulting his, uh, the interviewers. And I remember him interviewing Shirley MacLaine, and every time he would try his, you know, real harsh kind of verbal stuff, she would just smile and she would say, oh, Michael, she said You know, you don't really have to do that here. She said, I know that works in other places, but it's not necessary. You know, she said, and each time she would like disarm him from it, showing, illustrating. I've never forgotten that, just illustrating that I'm at peace, you know, and no, it doesn't make any difference what you say. And when you're truly at peace with yourself, which I suggest that in this relationship you're not, you know, if you were truly at peace with yourself, you know who you are, you know, you know what your relationship is to everyone else, you know how great you feel, you know what you've accomplished in your life, you know you're a spiritual being. Being, you know. And if you really understood that in the face of the people who give you the most difficulty, the most flak, if you were able to be that way with them, you could disarm that, you know. And it wouldn't make any difference what his reaction was at all. All you would be able to say to him is, I'm just here in your presence because I'm your daughter and I want to send you love, and I don't want to die with any anger in my heart towards anyone, including you, and that's why I'm here. And nothing more. You know, just like that very peaceful, sweet, soft place within, that inner kind of Tahiti that you go to when someone around you sends that kind of stuff. And before you know it, it's gone. And then you know that you are free to die with no anger or bitterness towards anyone in your life. I think that would be a good place for you to do. And you can practice it in your mind.

You know, I feel like I have sometimes because I've had dreams about him that I went to see him. I've been sort of— I've been nice with him, and even though he's like screaming at me and stuff like that, or— yeah, yeah. So I think my dreams have progressed because before I would scream back.

But have you gone from the dream state to being able to do that in person?

No. Okay, thank you so much. I appreciate it.

Thank you. God bless you. Namaste.

Well, we've got about 5 minutes left of this segment, so let's head over to Vegas and talk to Amy. In Las Vegas on line 2. And thanks for holding, you're on with Dr. Dyer.

Hi, Dr. Dyer, how are you?

Hi, Amy, how are you?

I'm good.

It's so good to talk to you.

Likewise.

Um, well, I actually— there's one area of my life that's been kind of a struggle over the course of the last several years. You know, my work stuff is great, you know, things come to me very easily, and my relationships maybe not so much. It's never the lack of anybody in my life, it's just the lack of the right person in my life. And I went through a breakup about a year ago and And that brought me to all of your materials and Ask and It Is Given. And I've done a lot of reading and meditating and doing that. And this wonderful person has dropped into my life, and he does not live in Vegas. He lives elsewhere, and things with him are just really, really good. And what I am concerned of is all this stuff that's going on in my head of, you know, it's not going to work, you know, be afraid, you know, hide away from this, this is not, you know, this isn't going to be what you think it's going to be, he's not going to like you, you know. All this stuff is like at the back of my head. And I know that those thoughts, I don't want those to be my sponsoring thoughts. And, you know, I continue to read the materials that you have and just kind of trying to change my thinking in that respect. But like I said, it just in everyday kind of stuff, you know, it's just that fear just paralyzes me sometimes, and I don't know exactly how to give myself over to receiving the things that I want in that relationship.

Yeah, such a great question. Such a common thing that people do. I, I know, I know someone very close to me who's like that as well. Look, here's the story, Amy, just as in a nutshell. Everything that's ever happened in the past to you or anyone else happened in the present moment. You have to agree with that, right? It happened in the now.

Yes, it happened in that, in that moment or in that moment, in the present moment.

Everything that's ever going to happen to you in the future is going to happen not in the future, but in the present moment, right?

Exactly.

That's all we get is now. So what you are doing is deciding how you're going to use up the now moments of your life like this one right now. Yeah, you can use— yeah, you can use the now moment moment that you have, which is the only moment that you have, to be consumed with how things are going to be in the future. But of course, when they do arrive, they're only going to arrive in the present moment. And in this present moment, you are with someone that you love and adore and have great fun with and enjoy and so on. And there's nothing about whether or not this person a year from now or 10 years from now or whatever is going to be the way he is now. You will deal with each present moment as they come along. But what we do, and this is a good big part of excuses, begun, you know, it's like we live in a habituated way of being, which is always being consumed with what either happened in the past or what's going to happen in the future, and using up our present moments to, instead of just to enjoy them and to be here and to live now in this, we use them up being consumed with worry and guilt and fear and anxiety and stress and so on. And that's where it all comes from. And if you can get out of that place within your consciousness, within your thinking, and just say, if it's good now, that's all I'll ever get is now. And then you're free. You've just got a ticket to your total freedom. Because you can think all you want to about whether he's going to discover who the real Amy is and whether he's going to really like her or whether this guy is just phony or whether he's just coming on to me because he wants whatever it might be, you can fill your head with that and bypass all you get in the present is the present moment happiness. So it's really up to you. Just get into the now. Just stay in the present moment. And when another present moment comes along where, you know, something that is similar to what happened in the past, you'll either learn from that thing or you'll just move along and you'll repeat it again. And you'll, you know, whatever it might be. But you have within you the capacity to be able to handle anything. When it comes along, as long as you stay here, stay now, stay present. Don't be consumed with worry about what's going to happen. Just enjoy the moment that you have and enjoy this person who dearly loves you and cares about you and will be sent away by someone who is always neurotically being consumed about how things are going to be instead of how they are.

Okay.

Yeah, thank you so much. I appreciate that.

You got it. You're very welcome.

God bless you.

Thank you.

Namaste.

And let's go down to Australia and check in with Cindy. Cindy, I'm sorry, I said Sydney. She is in Sydney, Australia, on line 4. Welcome to the show.

Hi, hi, Dr. Dye. Hi, Diane.

Hello.

Hi, Cindy. How are you, my friend?

I'm well.

I feel amazed to be speaking with you.

Me too. I think it's amazing to sit here and be talking to someone in Australia, but you're in one of my favorite cities.

Oh yes, it's lovely. I saw you when you came out here, I think in '99. My question has sort of changed a little bit since I've been listening to you today and listening to that person earlier talking about her father and her family situation. I have a situation with a family member, with my sister, who, who, um, has been sort of quite cruel and stirred up emotions in me that have been long, long-term emotions of feeling unaccepted. And I sort of— my question was going to be, you know, can I set boundaries in sort of choosing not to see her so much or not to be around her so much? But then there was a part of me that thought, well, you know, that's more spiritual to be able to— I like your, your quote— to be independent of the good opinion of others. And I've been trying to do that, and, um, I just seem to be really, really struggling with being able to maintain that when I'm around her, when I'm around her energy, and I want to be able to have that unconditional love and acceptance, and I just don't seem to be able to be unaffected by her when I'm around her, and I don't really know how to do that.

Let me respond because of our time limitations. This is a person who I would say has low energy, and that's just a very generic term, you know, just someone who's probably filled with— uses shame and uses anger and uses ridicule and, you know, perhaps come across a little strong. A little nasty, um, you know, perhaps finding fault a lot and so on, especially with you, and perhaps judging you and so on. Would that be correct?

That would be, uh, yeah, that would put on—

yeah, okay, so that's, uh, spot on. So that's what I call low energy. Now high energy is a different thing. High energy is much more of a loving energy. It's— there's an acceptance, there's kindness, there's love that goes between people. There's no judgment, there's no ridicule, there's just an honoring. It's sort the way that I try to run my radio show, you know, just like treating everybody with love and respect and kindness and finding a solution using that way rather than the harsh way that so many people try to do it. So, um, here's what happens, Cindy, is, um, when you're around someone with low energy like that and you have high energy— and I've said this many times on my radio show, they, you know, I use Jesus as an example of someone with exceptionally high energy to love everyone, to love your neighbor you know, to love your neighbor as yourself, to love your enemy, and so on. That when Jesus, they said, would walk into a village, you know, just his presence in the village, they said, would elevate the consciousness, the, uh, the energy of everyone in the village just by his presence. I was in a room where Mother Teresa had been, and just her energy made everybody else feel different. She was operating at a just different, higher energy level. So for you, when you bring a higher energy, even if it's just a smidgen higher than hers, and you find yourself being brought down by her, that isn't the reason that you are being brought down, isn't because of her low energy. It's because you have shifted out of your high energy and moved into the same energy that she's in. You get angry at her for being angry at you. You get upset with her for being upset with you. You actually find fault with her for finding fault with you. In other words, rather than staying at your high energy place of love and kindness and acceptance and and so on, what you've learned as a spiritual being. Instead of doing that, you take on exactly what she has done, and you bring yourself down. And then you blame her for bringing you down, when in fact you've joined her. And you not only create more unhappiness for yourself, you create more low energy for everyone around you. You've now doubled the amount of low energy that was in the room before, so that everybody becomes affected by that as well. And what you want to do is to learn to be more Christ-like, to be more God-like, to be more God-realized. That is, to stay in your high energy. I always use an example of when you're in a restaurant and a waiter, you know, comes in, is very nasty and upset and isn't going to give you good service, that the best thing that you can do is to stay in your high energy and to see if you can elevate that, bring them up just by the way that you treat this person. Rather than you join and get mad at him and say, well, if you're going to treat me that way, then I don't want to know, and I'm not going to give you a tip, and I'm going to be whatever it might be. So this is your challenge. And your sister, it's like she's God in disguise. She is someone who is giving you an opportunity to practice being more God-realized, to stay more aligned. And when you get more aligned with that, is with source energy, when you stay aligned with, with that kind of God consciousness, that Tao-centeredness, when you stay there, everything in your life begins to change. Not just that you get along better with your sister, but, you know, the things that were missing for you in your life, the creative aspect of your life, your relationships, your health, everything begins to improve because you're back in a place of well-being, spiritual well-being and physical well-being. I would welcome opportunities to be around my sister to see if I can make— help her to elevate without ever taking seriously anything that she has to say that comes from low energy.

This is where I'm struggling because I've been— that's what I want to do, and that's what I do a lot in other areas of my life, but I seem to be finding it difficult at the moment, probably because it's not so much what she's saying, it's sort of like an underlying feeling that she's giving off all the time, and I find it very, very difficult to not— That's okay.

Sure. And not only that— Yeah. This is your sister, you know. This is your— this is your sister. This is someone that you want to be close to, you know. And I suggest that if you do that, you're going to help her to elevate her consciousness rather than you continuously to bring— come down to her level. It's going to work for you, you watch and see. Give yourself an opportunity. Well, thank you, dear. I appreciate it. Thanks for your beautiful call. I love you. God bless you.

And we have time for a few more, so let's go to Sarah in Alberta on line 5. And thanks for your patience, Sarah. You're on with Dr. Dyer.

Hi, Dr. Dyer. It's an honor to talk to you.

Thank you.

I've been reading your books for a few years now since I've been introduced to them.

What city are you in? Are you in Calgary?

No, I'm— no, I'm not, and I didn't get a chance to go down. I'm in St. Albert. We're just north of Edmonton.

Oh, okay. I was just out there last— just a few days ago.

You were here for the Easter weekend, weren't you?

Yes, well, yeah, I was there, I don't know, just 2 or 3 days ago. I just got in from Calgary.

Awesome, I hope you enjoyed yourself.

Actually, it was a week ago. My goodness, time goes fast. It was a week ago today. Yeah, I did. I loved Calgary. I had a wonderful time, and we had a total big sellout audience there. It was a wonderful thing.

I do have the intention of one day finding the chance to see you. I didn't get to— No one time for the Calgary one. Um, I do want to, I guess, well, not, but I know I need to thank you for your books. I've read a number of them and I am still looking forward to the new one, and I've already called and put one on hold.

Oh good.

And the, just, I guess, becoming more aware of your, of my thoughts and Putting the intention to redirect them and the—

I guess making—

when I've come to realize that when you— or when I say I intend to create this or I intend to do this, it really helps to direct your actions. And so I, I guess I, I have to thank you immensely for that and The other members of my family really enjoy listening to you as well. At times when I find, or sometimes I find that I slip back or I slip on being able to remember to keep those intentions, are there suggestions that you have to help remind yourself of maintaining those positive thoughts?

Yes, I do. I have a very specific one particularly. It's very relevant, in fact. I just talked to my publisher at Hay House about a book I'm going to write in another year or so called Wishes Fulfilled, and it's based on some of the things I've talked about on the show a little bit. But when you have a wish, a desire, an intention, something that you would like to create for yourself in your life, most of the time we spend our energy thinking about it. You know, how can I make it happen? How can I manifest it? What do I have to do? What goals do I have to set? What people do I have to help me out with it? And so on. We're always thinking about the end, about the wish. And my suggestion for you is to, instead of thinking about the end, is to think from the end. That is, in your imagination, in your mind, to go to that place and create for yourself in your mind, and to live with it, and to allow no one, nothing that comes along to dissuade you from it, no matter how much evidence is to the contrary that it's not working. In your imagination, which is your gift from God, to be able to think anything that you want. You stay there, and then you assume the feeling of that wish fulfilled. You stay in that place continuously. You feel it. And then you have to ask yourself, now I can put my attention— I can use my attention two ways. One of the ways I can use my attention to keep myself in that state is to think of myself as using what is called objective criteria. And in this objective criteria, It's whatever is happening outside of me. It is what, you know, it's like something external to myself. But then you go to what I call subjective attention. And subjective attention is I choose, I make a choice at this particular moment what it is that I am going to allow to affect my vision, what it is for myself. And always stay there, always stay there in your imagination and in your feeling. Don't allow anything external to you to take you away from that. And when you do that, And when you feel that and live that in your body, it will become your way of life. It'll become your way of being. Okay, does that make any sense?

It does make a lot of sense.

Oh, great.

It echoes, I believe, the interview from your position on You Can Heal Your Life.

Mm-hmm, exactly.

Yeah, that's beautiful. Thank you so much, Wayne Dyer.

Thank you. God bless you. You're very welcome. Namaste.

Namaste.

Thank you.

Namaste.

It also reminds me of what I've heard Esther and Jerry Hicks say, and I know you're a fan of their work as well, of the power of that emotion of feeling that it's already happened really is so powerful.

Well, that's how things manifest. It's very hard to get into. I wrote a book years ago called Manifest Your Destiny, but you know what I've learned in the last few years is that it's the experience of those emotions, like that the act of contemplation, you know, what you think about is the beginning process. And contemplation is a form of action. And it is said, you know, that when you contemplate in the same way that the source contemplates, you gain the same power of the source, which is the power to create. But beyond that, you have to then go from contemplation to feeling it, which is where you live when you're in the material world. You live in your body. So now you move it into the feeling state. And as I've said on other radio interviews here on the show, is that the last 5 minutes of your day before you go off to sleep and into your subconscious mind, it's really important to contemplate— not only to contemplate what you want for you, but to feel it, to literally feel it and act as if it's there. And in that state of being in, in, in, uh, you, you enter into your subconscious mind. Now, as you go off to sleep, now for the next 8 hours, you have the opportunity to, uh, allow your subconscious mind— because it can't distinguish between what you're feeling that is in your imagination and what you're feeling about what's going on in your real world. So why not have your feelings be in harmony with what it is that you want? And that's key. And that's what I'm going to write about in the future. But it's a very beautiful way of making things happen for yourself.

Right.

Just reinforcing.

At the end of the day, aren't we?

Well, that's a great way to kind of end the show so we can all think of that until the next time we talk.

You're right. It was a great, great show today. Thank you.

And thanks for joining us.

And congratulations, you're one video closer to who you're meant to be.

Believe.

For another amazing Wayne Dyer video, check it out right there next to me. I think you'll love it. Continue to believe, and I'll see you there.

I want to learn how to manifest, but I can't get over that self-doubt hurdle.

Okay, keywords here: you get what you think about, whether you want it or not. Okay, can you remember that? I sure can. Okay, can you say it?
