In this week’s blog, I wanted to talk about the quote from last Saturday which appeared in Wayne Dyer’s perpetual calendar Change Your Thoughts – Change Your Life, which provides daily quotes from the Tao Te Ching. The quote that day read: Be wise and help all beings impartially, abandoning none. This is talking about the fact that we are all one, and that no being has a greater value
The quote from the Tao Te Ching on Wayne Dyer’s Change Your Thoughts – Change Your Life perpetual calendar earlier this week: The muddiest water clears as it is stilled. And out of that stillness, life arises. From my reading of Neale Donald Walsch’s Conversations With God books, I learned that Life, is another name for Love, which is another name for God. So if you read the above quote
I have been reading Wayne Dyer’s book, Excuses Begone!, in which he assigns a chapter to Passion, which he starts with a quote from Aeschylus: “When a man’s willing and eager, God joins in.” It always feels, when we are doing something we are passionate about, that we have resources at our disposal greater than that of our limited individual selves. Rather than God joining in when we are following
I used to be a fan of the original Star Trek many years ago, but, after years of repeats, the novelty began to wear off. Or perhaps it was because what had once been science fiction became science fact. The communicators used by Captain Kirk and Doctor McCoy became outdated by our mobile phones. Space flight became a bit ho-hum with the advent of the shuttle and international space stations.
Last weekend I was at “I Am Light” with Dr Wayne Dyer and Anita Moorjani. I had a wonderful weekend, and felt myself getting lighter after listening to all of their lessons, particularly the meditation. I had heard Wayne speak a number of times before, and read many of his books, and Anita’s book, Dying To Be Me, had had a real impact on me, as it did on most
By the time I sit in front of my computer each week to write my blog, I usually know what it is going to be about. I usually receive some inspiration in the form of a song, or a thought appears in my mind whilst meditating, or just while I’m going about my work around the house. This morning, I had a thought of what to write about, but immediately
I am in the process of reading Sonia Choquette’s book called Walking Home – A Pilgrimage from Humbled to Healed. It is the story of her pilgrimage to walk the Camino, an arduous journey of some 800 kilometres from the French border to Santiago de Compostela in northern Spain. Whilst the journey seemed rather tortuous to her body, she found that her mind and spirit were freed of many burdens
It has been a while since I wrote a blog about animals, and I felt the urge today to make that up to them. The more we think about animals, the more we consider our cruel treatment of them. The more that we consider our cruel treatment of animals, the more we can understand that the problems which we face in our lives and in our world are merely a
“There’s no time like the present,” my mother used to say, when she wanted me to do something that I was procrastinating about. Perhaps what she really meant was: “There’s no time but the present.” My lessons from A Course In Miracles have taught me that, for our real spiritual selves, the present is really all that exists. I had learned previously that God is in the present moment, but
Last weekend I was at ‘I Can Do It’ in Melbourne. For those who don’t know what that is, it is a weekend of talks by Hay House (publishing company) authors. Each one of the speakers had their own special style, and each one related different information in different ways. Wayne Dyer, despite his sore neck, managed to give his spiritually uplifting talk with his usual smooth style, and great
