Wishes Fulfilled

Dr Wayne Dyer will be well known to some readers. In November, I received a CD set called Divine Love and was listening to it on the way to a meeting in Edinburgh when he suddenly recounted an extraordinary experience connected with the Bulgarian sage Beinsa Douno and mentioning a book I had edited in 1991. I therefore ordered this book where some of this incident is related. It is evident that Wayne Dyer has an extraordinary capacity to align himself with significant spiritual teachers, even to the extent that some people see the face of these teachers superimposed on his while he is speaking about them. These include Lao Tsu and Francis of Assisi. He is also able to reformulate ideas from other sources, principal among which in this book are the I AM discourses by St Germain (which someone sent him in a packet of books) and the little-known work of Neville Goddard, and simply wrote as Neville and a selection of whose work I read couple of years ago.

The first part of this book is about changing your concept of yourself and aligning with the highest self, which is the I Am presence within each of us. This is fundamental work if deep change is to come about in our lives and we are to lose our many self-imposed limits. The second part outlines the foundations of wishes fulfilled, namely imagination, living from the end, feeling the wish fulfilled, attention, and the importance of preparing for sleep when one enters the unconscious mind. It is critical to formulate affirmations in the present. The book finishes with a number of personal experiences and questions for the reader about the process and its fulfilment. Needless to say, these techniques can be used at a number of different levels but their ultimate expression is spiritual rather than material.
