5.0 out of 5 stars Absolutely excellent, October 3, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Everyday Wisdom (Audio Cassette)

I purchased this cassette 2 years ago and am now replacing it; I listen to it A LOT! I find it easy to quote the statements/affirmations in many different situations in life (I have almost memorized them). The tape really does offer words of wisdom. I, unlike another reviewer, like the short statements, as varied as they are, rather than a continuous dialogue. Mr. Dyer states that the tape is designed this way, to pick out one idea at a time. I can listen to it over and over again, and still catch something I missed, or understood differently before. If you want to hear a postive message, if you want to retrain your thinking to a loving/positive mode, I can't say enough good about the message on this tape.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Single Quote Can Transform Your Life, February 7, 2004

By	Rebecca Johnson "SeasonedwithLove.com" (Washington State) - See all my reviews (TOP 10 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)    (COMMUNITY FORUM 04)

"Each time you send love in response to hate, you diffuse the hate." ~Wayne Dyer

It seems amazing to think about how words can destroy or enliven our lives. One sentence can inspire a new direction and a phrase can transform your existence. When we are struggling with decisions it is often the wise words of a friend that saves us from making the wrong choice.

Dr. Wayne W. Dyer's thoughts have always been an inspiration to me and I see them as meaningful messages for a hurting planet. There is so much pain in life, but there is also the possibility of living in pure joy.

I still love thinking about this quote: "You are not a human being having a spiritual experience. You are a spiritual being having a human experience."

What an empowering thought.

This book is filled with inspiring ideas that refocus your attention on how things actually are instead of how you thought they originally should be. On the surface we may feel that we are drowning in life's challenges, but when you think of yourself as an eternal soul, problems melt away and you view your life from an eternal perspective. This doesn't mean that you don't deal with anguish and sorrow, but you deal with it from a new perspective. Life becomes a blink of the eye in the light of an eternal existence.

I love how Dr. Dyer explains forgiveness as an act of self-love because when you forgive you simply don't have to carry the problem around with you.

Dr. Dyer is really stating what our souls already know to be true. He just says everything so brilliantly. Lately, I've been contemplating his advice about loving those who are difficult to love. I am thinking about his statement about loving and his statement about "the more you give away, the more you get back."

A few of the quotes in this book made me laugh out loud. Dr. Dyer is not always serious and can actually be rather playful in his use of words.

Words can be used as powerful weapons to destroy or they can bring great beauty to our lives. I see beauty in Dr. Wayne Dyer's revelation of inner wisdom. I seem to think about his words at least once a day, especially when I start to think negatively. I am just a soul trying to live in this body that ties me to the earth. One day I won't live here anymore and it is empowering to think of myself as an eternal being temporarily in this school of life.

"You create your thoughts, your thoughts create your intentions, and your intentions create your reality." ~Dr. Wayne W. Dyer

I'm working on this one! However lately I've noticed that my "invisible and silent" thoughts are being heard loud and clear. Although I still think our lives benefit from the power of the positive choice. Some thoughts magically transform your life without the addition of action, and some thoughts grow inside you and propel you forward into action.

If you think about it, spiritual teachers have been giving us the secret keys to inner wisdom throughout time. I think of quotes as keys. I can use them to open up new and unexplored territory in the areas of thought and spirituality.

Dr. Dyer has a lot of keys to free you from the prison of negativity.

5.0 out of 5 stars Incredible!, September 2, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Cal 97 Everyday Wisdom Flip Calendar (Calendar)

This is a fantastic calendar. It is not year specific. You flip a page each day. Some days are good, and others are excellent. Some can change your whole attitude when life seems to be going the wrong way. One friend keeps wondering how the thoughts keep matching what she needs to hear at that time.

There is definately energy in this calendar that goes beyond the paper it is printed on.

I don't really care for daily calendars, and I have been using this one every day for at least 4 years now. Get it!
