Your Sacred Self, Part 2

Divine Energy

There dwells within all human beings a divine energy. The power of this energy permeates our entire being and permits us to perform every function in the vast repertoire of human thoughts and behaviors. There are two aspects to this divine energy.

The outer aspect causes the heart to beat, the lungs to inflate and the senses to function--it essentially keeps our physical bodies alive. The inner aspect of this energy is dormant, but it can be awakened.

This inner universe is vaster than the outer universe. Inner joy makes all joy that is experienced in the world of the senses seem meaningless. When the divine light within you is experienced directly, it adds a radiance to life unlike anything that can be described with words or pictures.

When you discover your sacred self, you awaken this dormant inner energy and let it guide your life. The word most commonly used to describe this inner force is "spiritual."

When I talk about spirituality and being spiritual, I am describing an attitude toward God and the inner journey of enlightenment. I am speaking of expanding the godlike qualities of love, forgiveness, kindness and bliss within ourselves.

In my interpretation, spirituality is not dogma or rules. It is light and joy and focuses on the experience of love and inner bliss, radiating those qualities outward. I call the journey to discover your sacred self your "sacred quest."

Wayne Dyer- Your Sacred Self part1

The greatest human quest is to know what one must do in order to become a human being."
--Immanuel Kant

I know in each moment I am free to decide

You have been facing the wrong way! The most important insight you can have is to realize that you have been facing the wrong way for the better part of your life.

Take a moment, right now, to experience what I mean. Picture yourself in any position that you like. Standing, sitting, lying down, whatever is easiest for you to imagine. Now look at that mental picture of yourself. What you see, in this exercise, is a you who is always looking away from yourself. Always looking outside of yourself. You are facing the wrong way!

Now imagine being able to shift around and face the opposite direction. If you could in some magical way do so, then you would be facing inward.

This is not some form of mental gymnastics in which you simply imagine yourself turning around and facing inward. I am suggesting a way of knowing your spiritual identity. I am suggesting you meet the challenge and take the path of your sacred quest.

We've all been taught to look outside ourselves for sustenance--to look beyond the self for power, love, prosperity, health, happiness and spiritual fulfillment. We've been conditioned to believe we get life's bounty from somewhere outside of ourselves. But it's possible to reverse our gaze from outward to inward. And when we do, we find an energy we've sensed but not previously identified.

Wayne Dyer on Money

"If you are spending your life struggling at work that has no meaning to you, and justifying it by saying that you must do it because it gives you the money you need to pay bills, then you are opting for some personal dishonesty with yourself. You have made money more important than your sense of purpose, and as long as you keep the priority in that order, you will always be lacking in purpose and total self-honesty!"

WHAT WOULD YOU DO IF THERE WERE NO SUCH THING AS MONEY?

Dr. Wayne Dyer teaches to just allow yourself to imagine doing anything that you would like to do. Forget about earning a living and simply ask yourself what you would do if it didn't make any difference in terms of monetary reward. If you are spending your life struggling at something that has no meaning for you, and justifying it by saying that you must do it because it gives you the money you need to pay your bills, then you are opting for some personal dishonesty with yourself. You have made the money more important then your own sense of purpose, and as long as you keep the priority in that order you will always be lacking in purpose and total self-honesty.

"There is no scarcity of opportunity to make a living at what you love to do, there is only scarcity of resolve to make it happen."

Wayne Dyer`s Quotes 1

A mind at peace, a mind centered and not focused on harming others, is stronger than any physical force in the universe.


Abundance is not something we acquire. It is something we tune into.



Anything you really want, you can attain, if you really go after it.



Be miserable. Or motivate yourself. Whatever has to be done, it's always your choice.


Begin to see yourself as a soul with a body rather than a body with a soul.



Conflict cannot survive without your participation.



Deficiency motivation doesn't work. It will lead to a life-long pursuit of try to fix me. Learn to appreciate what you have and where and who you are.


Doing what you love is the cornerstone of having abundance in your life.


Everything in the universe has a purpose. Indeed, the invisible intelligence that flows through everything in a purposeful fashion is also flowing through you.


Everything is perfect in the universe - even your desire to improve it.


Everything you are against weakens you. Everything you are for empowers you.


Freedom means you are unobstructed in living your life as you choose. Anything less is a form of slavery.


Go for it now. The future is promised to no one.


How people treat you is their karma; how you react is yours.


I cannot always control what goes on outside. But I can always control what goes on inside.


I think and that is all that I am.


If you are living out of a sense of obligation you are slave.


If you change the way you look at things, the things you look at change.


It is impossible for you to be angry and laugh at the same time. Anger and laughter are mutually exclusive and you have the power to choose either.



It makes no sense to worry about things you have no control over because there's nothing you can do about them, and why worry about things you do control? The activity of worrying keeps you immobilized.

Wayne Dyer`s Religious beliefs

"My belief is that the truth is a truth until you organize it, and then becomes a lie. I don't think that Jesus was teaching Christianity, Jesus was teaching kindness, love, concern, and peace. What I tell people is don't be Christian, be Christ-like. Don't be Buddhist, be Buddha-like."

"Religion is orthodoxy, rules and historical scriptures maintained by people over long periods of time. Generally people are raised to obey the customs and practices of that religion without question. These are customs and expectations from outside the person and do not fit my definition of spiritual."
