There’s a voice in the universe calling each of us to remember our purposeour reason for being here now, in this world of impermanence. The voice whispers, shouts, and sings to us that this experience of being in form, in space and time, knowing life and death, has meaning. The voice is that of inspiration, which is within each and every one of us. In this groundbreaking book, Dr. Wayne W. Dyer explains how we’ve chosen to enter this world of particles and form. From our place of origin, in ways that we don’t readily comprehend now, we knew what we were coming here to accomplish, and we participated in setting this life process in motion. So why not think this same way? Why put the responsibility or blame on any one or any thing that’s not a part of us? On Earth we have the capacity of volitionwe can chooseso let’s assume that we had the same capacity when we resided in the spiritual realm. We chose our physical body, and we chose the parents we needed for the trip. It doesn’t seem too great a stretch to move into the idea that we chose this life in concert with our Source. Each chapter in this book is filled with specifics for living an inspired life. From a very personal viewpoint, Wayne Dyer offers a blueprint through the world of spirit to inspiration, your ultimate calling.
Disappointed too… “Inspiration” was a gift from a friend who knows I’ve enjoyed some of Dyer’s previous writings. I feel bad she spent the money…Initally I thought maybe I was missing something or simply being overly critical; I really wanted to love this book. Some of the concepts resonate (although nothing new), but… it’s poorly written, self-laudatory ad nauseam and, sadly, just leaves a very negative impression of Mr. Dyer (the “Dr.” title just doesn’t seem to fit in this case).Soliciting money for his friend in Maui was in very poor taste, his name-dropping monotonous, and his self-righteous undertone throughout the book, a bit alarming.Doubtful I’ll be spending any more of my hard earned money on Dyer propaganda and will advise my friend the same. There are a lot of other dynamic, inspiring authors out there.
Wayne Dyer on In-Spirited Living “Inspiration flowing through us is a messenger from the realm of our nonphysical self, from where we were before we entered this visible world of form. We have the ability to return to that formlessness right now, in our body, without experiencing physical death. – From the bookRenowned lecturer and author Dr. Wayne Dyer has dedicated his newest book to in-Spirited living. Inspiration: Your Ultimate Calling contains methods for finding your way to an inspired life, absorbing the inspiration of others, becoming an inspiration, and transcending commonplace uninspiring energy.According to Dyer, inspiration is the opposite of motivation. Motivation is “grabbing an idea and carrying it through to an acceptable conclusion”, but inspiration is the reverse-allowing ourselves to be moved by a Force greater than ourselves. While motivation pushes us towards goals, inspiration is a relaxed flow, enabling us to enjoy where we are on the way to where we’re going. By…
Losing steam I first encountered the words of Wayne Dyer 5 or so years ago on PBS. I liked what I heard. Though nothing he says is original, I did like the way he presented it.The first book of his I read was “There’s A Spiritual Solution to Every Problem”, the book on which the first lecture I watch on PBS was based.I was inspired by, and enjoyed that book. As I did the next two or three. But recently, and especially with this latest volume, he simply repackages his older books in a different form. Ironic for a book about inspiration.I want to be clear that I have no intrinsic problem with some of the concepts he talks about. But this book, and his lectures, and overall attitude lately, as opposed to my first exposure to him, are becoming quite the turn off.In this volume, there were somevery glaring examples of either contradiction, strict unfairness, and at times, ego…despite Dyer’s commitment against the ego.I also found it very…
