Wayne Dyer Explains: Why Everything Is Happening FOR You, Not To You

Every breath that we take is orchestrated and controlled and delivered by a presence that is invisible and there's only one of it it's in everything that that exists in the physical world the stones the animals the plants us it's this intelligence and it's we carry it around with us at all times this Divine mind this I am presence it's always there finding me how do you find me and Union the whole purpose what I want to talk about the rest of my life or at least the next few years of it if I'm granted them

because again that's not up to me either when it's when you get called you get called you know he often says in there that you know you showed up here in the in the in the 20th century um why didn't you show up 100 years from now uh why did you show up in this country and not in in another country something is taking care of all Of that for you you don't have the power to be able to do these things and we carry around this Divine intelligence that's capable of doing anything that is

omniscient and omnipotent and all knowing it's everywhere at once we have that within us we carry it around wherever we go it's this incredible intelligent and we all carry it around and yet we act like we are weak and we have a subconscious mind That has been programmed to believe that we are uh that we're ordinary and we can't create Miracles and we can't accomplish fantastic things I've just discovered that within me there's this there's this miracle worker who is capable of manifesting and creating I mean just all of this stuff that I've written and

all of these things that I'm doing even my giving this talk right now it's uh it's not my personality that is doing It every desire that you have is placed there by something that you have no control over every desire every thought in the da it says Lau says 2500 years ago you're not doing anything you're just being done you're just being done if you don't believe that just look at you look in the mirror many of you know I've I've just Published a new book which is somewhat of a memoir but uh I didn't

write it with that intent or an autobiography um it's uh it's really a look at all of the uh significant people and uh and the events and the circumstances and the things that have showed up in my life and to look back on them from the time that I was just a baby and the years that I spent in a uh In an orphanage in a series of foster homes um throughout my years and being uh having a difficult time as a as a teenager in school getting kicked out several times fighting the system them

all the way uh refusing to fit in listening to an inner voice that um kept prodding me in a in a direction that uh you probably heard me tell it I'll tell it again it's uh when I was in the third Grade I was in a uh in a home out in Mount Clemens Michigan and uh was a brand new school but I was in a new school every year the first uh 10 years of my life so first grade second grade I we just kept changing homes and schools and places um with my brother

David who was a year and a half older than I am but um much smaller and was bullied a lot so I had to take care of him as well and I came home from school I was Living with Mrs scarf at 231 Town Hall Road in Mount Clemens Michigan and I asked her what's a scurvy elephant and she said a what I said what's a scurvy elephant she said well where did you hear that I said well I heard Mrs P who was my third grade teacher um tell the princible after class on the

first day of class that Wayne Dyer was in her classroom and he was a scurvy elephant I wanted to know what it Meant so she got on the phone yes they had phones then for those it's my kids with her and she called and the principal said oh no that's Wayne he gets everything mixed up she didn't say that he was a scurvy elephant in her classroom she said that he was a disturbing element in her classroom and I've course I've told that story a thousand times but the uh and I've had people send me

little weird Looking elephants I've got a whole collection of them from all over the world um but it's been a part of the of the joury is to be uh somewhat of a disturbing element in my life uh after getting out of high school and just barely making it through high school I joined the the United States Navy for four years and you can imagine how someone who's a scurvy elephant fits into a place where everybody is told how to dress and What to say and what how to think and where to be and you're

not even allowed or thought uh to think for yourself at all and I wrote about that and and all all of the uh the significant uh events and people that showed up in my life and and this is what the book looks like I can see clearly now and there is a um a quote at the very beginning the beginning of chapter 1 and this isn't this is not really a self-help book but it's a book that as people write reviews And there's about aund or so of reviews now on uh on Amazon and people

say it's been the most helpful book to them that of all the books that I've written it's the 42nd book that I've written um because I really believe that when we step back and look at our life we begin to realize that there are other factors and other forces that are really directing the traffic and moving the Checkers around and this Checker Board of our our that we call our life our Life is really like a tapestry and um you know even the darkest threads in a tapestry add Beauty to the tapestry and I didn't

leave out the dark threads the struggles the difficulties the the things that came along that when they happened I was so devastated at one time essentially clinically depressed if you will unable to even hardly get out of bed um when my Family uh when I broke up when my wife and I separated 13 years ago um but out of that separation uh we grew closer and closer and I was able to write perhaps the the most impactful book of all the books I'd written the one that seemed to have made the biggest difference in people's

lives um and I couldn't have written it without the uh without the compassion that I began to feel because of the pain that I was experiencing in My life over this uh thing that happened at the age of 60 I thought when you hit 60 you were out of junior high school and breaking up and uh but I wrote my way out of it and was able to help a lot of people with a book called The Power of intention uh which became a huge public television special that was another one of those significant events

in my life the woman That came to me and asked me to do a public television special Nikki vatel um that was in 1998 Public Television is something that I really believe in very strongly because it's an energy that comes into our home that doesn't have the violence and doesn't have all the smarty pants talk between uh children and their parents and making funny jokes about uh how inept the parents are and so on and I'm proud to say as I sit here Speaking to you today that that we've raised with the 10 public television

specials that I've done a quarter of a billion dollars for public television yeah and the one that just aired this past uh month in in in March on I Can See Clearly Now on the uh which I'll be speaking about here this evening um raise quite a few million dollars already so thank you again for Contributing because when I uh was approached by public television to do it they said uh that I would they would let me do one but I would have to raise the money myself and I would have to take care of

the expenses and pay everything myself and they would give it a trial um and it was one of the best investments I ever made it was a turning point in my life so here's what Rashad field in a wonderful book called uh to Know we are loved wrote and I was reading this get some water I was reading this book which is one of a a a Trilogy of books to know we are loved uh and it's about a um a man who is dying and he only has a short time left but he is

uh being approached by a a Sufi student and he talks about the most important thing that we have going for ourselves in our life is U the Awareness that deep within us we know that we are loved it's what we all want to know it's basically behind virtually every communication and every relationship that we have I just want to know that I'm loved when I was 10 years old I was back from uh living in these series of foster homes and um my mother who was abandoned by my father when I uh was just born

I was the Youngest of three and myself and my next oldest brother were placed in these homes and my oldest brother went with my grandmother and my mother spent the next decade um seeing what she could do to get her family back together this was in a time when there was a Great Depression going in the world and World War II was just underway um and it was one of the more trying times in her life and I remember My very first my very first time of meeting my oldest brother that I remembered U my

brother Jim and we're very very close now um but he was uh you know I was 10 he was 14 and we were in different worlds and we we were just getting to know each other and I remember the thing that I felt the most as a 10-year-old was the fear that I was going to have to go back to that Orphanage um because it was always the same it was always yes we'd go and we'd visit my mother once in a while and then we'd always have to go back she was working as a

during the war as a candy girl at uh at kesky 5 and 10 cents so earning $17 a week um and she uh would always feel so bad that we'd have to go back and I can remember walking home every day from class wondering if I was going to come Back and it's one of the earliest memories that I have and I can see clearly now because it was uh it was at Arthur Elementary School I was in the fourth grade and every day at the end of uh the school day about quter to 3

uh there was a big clock on the wall had the name Seth Thomas on it I don't know if any of you remember that but I I always wondered who that Was and I couldn't wait to see that hand get to the end so I could get out of there uh and get home but Mrs Eng Les my fourth grade teacher would read to us every day provided that we um were all behaved that I that we were good in the class that meant that we didn't talk and that we weren't disturbing people and she

read to us from a book that became one of the most exciting things I could hear every day and when the class would start to Get unruly and it's amazing because when I started writing this from going back and writing this all of these stories and all of this the impact that they had in my life from being in the fourth grade all the way up to just recently um I was able to recall all virtually every single person in my fourth grade class and it was ironic that uh the woman who became my first

wife the mother of my first daughter Tracy um was in that classroom and you want to know something that's really strange I just found that out I thought remembered everybody but I I didn't remember her she was watching the PBS show in Tampa Florida and she called she called up Tracy who is here tonight who has a company that I'm going to tell you about in a few moments and said I was in Mrs Engles fourth grade class I didn't know Your dad was in that we were married for eight years we I didn't even

know she had gone to that school because I went to so damn many schools that was I was only in that school for one semester and then they opened up a new school and I went to Marquette Elementary from there but anyway the name of the the uh the book was called The Secret Garden and I love this book so much Because it was a story about a 10-year-old I was 10 years old this was a girl her name was Mary and she had discovered a secret garden she was an orphan I was an orphan

um she was she had a very positive outlook on life she was always excited about what possibly could happen and The Secret Garden was really a place within each and every one of us could visit and explore and expand who we were it wasn't about a place it was about something Inside each and every one of us and I can remember I would walk home from that uh that classroom up Peerless Street and over to S Mile Road where I lived and um and I used to think I know that I have a secret garden

in me because that's how I got through the previous uh seven or eight years in in the various schools and so on and helping my brother to learn this as well who was a bit handicapped at that time um and it's very very fascinating Because it was just shortly after that that I was uh my mother had remarried uh and she I had a stepfather for just a few years but he was really worse than my father an alcoholic it's like life gives exams I don't know if you've ever noticed that and if you don't

pass it's like algebra you got to take it over I think my mother had to take it over and do it over and over again but my father was a Uh my stepfather brother was a uh was a Catholic a very a very strict Catholic and a big drinker drank every single day but the thing that we had to do on Tuesday nights when the Milton Burl show was on in 1952 and 1953 we didn't get to watch Milton Burl we watched a man on television who wore funny clothes whose name was Bishop Fon Sheen

who was about to become a saint And he had a show that I watched every Tuesday night and I took notes on I had yellow pad of paper at the age of 12 and 13 and every Tuesday while the rest of the country was watching uh Milton burrow I was watching Bishop F machine on a television show called life is worth living I was taking notes on life is worth living the 42 books that I've written could have all had the same Subtitle life is worth living and when I think about Bishop Sheen and I

think about that those Tuesday nights I remember that was that's when they started the Emmy Awards and one of Milton Bar's great lines was because he didn't win the Emmy Bishop Sheen won the Emmy for the best television show and he was asked about that and he said well he had he had better writers Matthew Mark Luke and John he said I Couldn't compete with that but I think about that but I'm asking not so much that you understand my life but that you look at your own and you review the very significant events and

faculties and circumstances and people and all the things that showed up in your life and begin to have an awareness that um there's something else making Decisions about what it is that you are here for it's almost as if you have to look at every single thing that ever happened to your life and recognize that it was all there there's some kind of divine guidance always working even in the toughest of times and so as I was reading to know we are loved about this man who was was dying he was a beautiful spirit a

a mystical Man and he said if we stop for a moment it is possible to perceive a pattern in our lives the motivators that have influ influenced us become much more obvious we are able to see the unfolding from both ends at once coming into the Pres present moment but until we have got to a certain point of realization this is not Possible because everything is still seen as a series of apparent causes and effects and that struck me and I'm going to read it again I want you to really think about this as you

look at your own life and think about stepping back and having a recognition that all of the turns that you're making in your life all of the u-turns that you've made all of the uh the the shifts that just showed up in your life at a certain time that there was Something that was outside of your control that was moving the pieces around and and that it doesn't stop that it's happening right now because just four weeks ago something came into my life that has turned me into in another Direction in my life and I've

been obsessed by it I wondered if I would talk about it because I've got I could talk all night about so many different things That are up here and 42 books it would take me an hour to get my name out you know and uh and yet here I am sharing with you in a very personal way um another turn that has that is overwhelming me with excitement about um where I'm headed in the next U phase or the next segment of this thing called my life so I want you to stop for a Moment

and understand that it is possible to perceive a pattern in our lives the motivators that have influenced us will become much more obvious we are able to see life unfolding and this is underlined because it was emphasized in the book from both ends at once coming into the present moment that means from the past what we think of as the past and also from the future future that we are Pulling things out of the future my example of of this is always you know I have eight children um six daughters two sons and whenever they're

born I mean it's this the most miracul miraculous event I was there for the birth of four of those children cut cut the cord all of those things they weren't wasn't allowed to do that before in fact we weren't even allowed on the same floor uh in those years years we had to sit and wait by The telephone you know and wait to find out what we had um but it's a there's an awareness that you look at this little child and that everything that it's ever going to need uh for its physical development is

already there and their wisdom teeth are there the day that they're born we just got to we're not going to pull them out of the past they're here we're going to pull those out of the future and that's like 20 years from now and here we are we're Going to pull them out well it's not just true from our our physical things is true for everything as I'll try to make clear as this evening unfolds we're able to see life unfolding from both ends at once coming into the present moment but until we have got

to a certain point of realization this is not possible because everything is seen as a series of apparent causes and effects we have this tendency to believe that um if you do this then this is the cause of This and then this is the cause of this and and so on but I had a I had a wonderful teacher I was in in my earliest training I was going to become a a yian analyst based on the teachings of the great Carl Jung um who passed away uh when I was 12 years old in 1952

and one of the things that Yung said he said from the beginning of my life I had a sense of Destiny as though my life was assigned to me by fate and Had to be fulfilled this gave me an inner security and though I could never prove it to myself it proved itself to me I did not have this certainty it had me I can really identify with with Dr yung's comments that I was being interviewed by the New York Times many years ago and the great Arthur Miller was being interviewed at the same time

the the Famous playwright who wrote so many great plays Death of a Salesman and uh and so many others and he was asked the question he was 91 years old and he was asked the question are you working on another play and he responded something I'd never forgot because I wrote it down and took notes on it he said that I don't know but I probably am now on June the 26th in 2012 I told my entire family and my publisher that I was not going to write any more books it was just too much

pressure that I had done enough and that I was going to go on and do some other things and but that this idea of having to face 500 empty sheets of paper and fill them from something in here and everything that I've that has got my name on it any place was written by Me by Hand and uh it's just such a draining experience it's exciting but it's just draining it just takes so much out of especially the way I write because when I write I'm just obsessed it's Morning Noon night go to sleep thinking

about it wake up um my children will tell you when they come in when they visit me um that I have a pen with me and I I'll I'll D wherever I am whatever room I'm in wherever we are even if we're in the car and I'm driving I'll often pull over I just had an idea I've got to I think I'll add that and it's uh and to do it that many times and to spend 40 so years of my life doing just that that I said that's enough I don't have to prove it

anymore I'm done my kids all said yeah Dad and I said uh well I'll show you that was the 26th of June I said and I felt so free it's like I was just I didn't have to have any more deadlines I Didn't have to think about what I was going to do that day I could do other things and on June the 27th I'm not kidding at June the 27th I woke up and I started thinking about what took place when I was just a little boy and when I was a teenager and when

I finally got out of the Navy and when I went to college and when I was a a school teacher when I was a a professor at a university and when I left the pr professorship and went on to Uh to do the kind of work that I'm doing and to write when I wrote aonia sones after my textbooks and you know all of it um and I wrote and I would write an event about something that was so significant and then I would look back and I'd write a section called I can see clearly

now but I didn't really know what the title of this was going to be I just decided that uh and I talked to my publisher about it And he just he said what didn't we talk yesterday about your NE I said I know but I said this just this has just got a hold of me and I took every book that I had written and I lined them up in front of in front on a on a table and and I would re start reviewing what what happened in my life when I was writing them

and so on and and what kind of events and what kinds of things were taking place and I wrote morning noon and night my children Came to visit me that in the summer and Maui all of them came there and there was no room in the place that I live so I had to go out and actually rent a place to write so that my kids could stay in the house and I went someplace else so that I could write and and I was just obsessed with it uh 90 some days of continuous writing morning

morning noon and night and completed it all by hand and it was all done it's um it's just this Awareness that you're not making the decisions in your life and so I was looking on the internet and I saw a u you know how they they'll put something on my Facebook page uh and then uh it'll be just a little comment or it'll be a photograph or it'll be something and they'll put it on there and then there'll be all of these comments underneath it and there Are hundreds of them sometimes thousands of them every

single day because there's a couple of million people on that Facebook fan page uh um and I try to keep up with it and see what's going on with it and all of that and and one of the comments in something that I had written a woman had said you should read the impersonal life everything that you need for the rest of your life is is in There now I get books from people all all the time I'm sure people here have brought me in fact I've already had three or four given to me and

I've hardly been here you know and I've learned over the years and I've learned especially in recent years to not take uh to not take any of that lightly to understand that um that the things that show up in your life even if somebody hands it to you as A stranger uh very often especially if they impact you in a certain way are going to uh going to have going to have a uh could possibly be a turning point something in your life because in the in the 60 chapters that are in here uh and

I Can See Clearly Now um very often I didn't have any idea what was going on for example the first f after I wrote the textbooks for the first four books that I wrote from your erroneous owns pulling your own Springs the sky is the Limit and gifts for mic uh these were four books that all were big- time bestsellers um and I as I was writing this I was looking through each of these books and I looked at the index of your aronia sounds pulling your own strings sky the limit gifts from micas um

what do you really want for your children was the other and I looked in the index and the word the name God Or Spirit or higher Consciousness appeared once in all five books once the next book that I wrote there were 37 references to God spirit and higher Consciousness and I never ever sat down and decided that I'm now going to start writing about something called spirituality higher Consciousness and so on it just it was just something that was unfolding it was a direction that I was being pulled in and we're all being Pulled because

all of us share something every single one of us Shar something we all come from the same place and we all return to it TS Elliott said uh we shall not cease from exploration but at the end of all of our exploring will be to return to the place from which we originated but to know it for the first time to know it for for the first time now TS Elliott I believe because I've read a lot of his Poetry was speaking about death we shall not cease from at the end of all of our

exploring will be to return to the place from which we and to know it to really know it for the first time I'm not talking about death here I don't think we have to die to know it I think we have to shift the direction that we are going in in our life and lose the false self the Ego the part of us that believes that who we are is is what we have and what we do what we accomplish and what others think of us and that really is a false self so these these

turns these these things that show up in our life and this book showed up in my life from a a posting on a Facebook page that I don't really study that often and it just something about it jump jumped out at Me so I called and ordered it this is what it looks like it's a little book and know if you read some of my recent books like wishes fulfilled that that book was completely inspired by a little tiny book that I have right here with me I carry with me wherever I go it's called

the I am discourses that there is something inside each and every one of us called the this I am presence and it's the director of our Lives and the producer of our lives and we sit here in these bodies and we believe that this is who we are these bodies that we occupy and these occupations that we have and these duties that we perform when in fact um that's not who we are at all even being able to answer the question who am I so I ordered this book The impersonal life and it was written

in 1914 exactly a 100 years ago today and it was published in 1917 the year that we got into World War I and it was published under the name anonymous because it turns out that the person who wrote this book was a minister like my friend Roger te at his great church that I have been speaking at since 1976 that's almost 40 years ago Um but the things that he was writing were just so outside of the box of the church that he was a minister in that he didn't want to be identified I think

he just felt he might be excommunicated or whatever um so he published it as Anonymous and he really felt that it was um it was God or the da or Spirit but it remember urgently remember it isn't what we call this thing that is moving all the pieces around the place from which We originated the place to which we returned uh many of you know that I wrote a book a few years ago 10 well when I turned 65 nine years ago called change your thoughts change your life which is based on the da and

I became a doist for a year not because I thought do ism is something that I want to go out and explore but because I was called to do it that there is a calling for each and every one of us and it's operating all The time and it's one of the great Revelations that I've had in my own life about I can see clearly now is that there is a Divine intelligence that we are connected to but we've lost our connection to it except in very rare occasions so in 1940 the year I was

born this man's wife this is the year he died the man's name was Joseph Benner Benn n Joseph Benner and after he passed away his wife decided to reveal who it was that had written this book called The impersonal life a side note on the impersonal life it's the book that Elvis Elvis Presley carried with him wherever he went and was with him when he died he said it was the only book that ever truly spoke to him and helped him to do the kinds of things that he was doing in his life uh in

the way of his music and so on um not a great Endorsement Elvis you know it's like in fact one of the examples I given here is why I wrote pulling your own strings after your erronous ownes is because the day that Elvis died when they discovered that he had been so victimized by his drug use and drug abuse that I wanted to write a book about helping people not to be victimized by such things in their life and it was his death that inspired me to move in the direction that I'm moving in My

life so in 1941 it was republished as the impersonal Life by Joseph Benner but there's not even an author on this on this copy that I have so one of the things that I discovered as I started to read this it was just one of those books that just spoke to me it was a and I talk to my children and talk to people that are close to me in my life And and one of them is my wife with whom I've been separated since the year 2001 um I asked her to read it so

we could talk about it because she's really a soulmate to me and um there can't be at a time my goodness and the uh I was um it was one morning not too long ago maybe two weeks ago and after my first reading of this Book there's 18 chapters in here just like in the bhava Gita and very similar to the babad Gita and and as I would read each chapter each day I would think about it and I would write write notes on it and I would just wonder because basically the essence of this

is It's called The impersonal life that there is a part of us that is connected to our source of being and call it what you want the Opening line of The Da says the da that can be named is not the da so if you can call it God you can call it Spirit you can call it Consciousness you can call it Divine mind you can call call it I am presence which is what he calls it um so I'm just going to call it God as a it works for me and I got the

mic oh I can call it anything I want to call it right so the last chapter in here is Called Union and the the 17th chapter in here is called finding me and me the word me is not some external God speaking and writing this book but me is the impersonal that is not just for Wayne or not just for Sally or not just for Mike but the impersonal Consciousness that is located in each and every one of us that from which we originated that to which we return and it's that thing that animates All

of life so if you were to close your eyes and say what is my life what is life um whatever it is that animates you and allows you to breathe to take a breath you can't do that your personality can't do the things that this I am presence is always doing always operating you can't make your lungs aspirate and take in air and let it out you can't your personality can't take the food that you put into your Mouth and digest it it can't do that it doesn't know how to I always remember the movie

uh with George Burns oh God remember and he said now make a fish from scratch then you got something you know the I am presence can do that it does everything it animates all of life and our personalities can't do any of that e e e e Every breath that we take is orchestrated and controlled and delivered by a presence that is invisible and there's only one of it it's in everything that that exists in the physical world the stones the animals the plants us it's this intelligence and it's we carry it around with us

at all times this Divine mind this I am presence it's always there finding me how do you find me and Union the whole purpose what I want to talk about the rest of my life or at least the next few years of it if I'm granted them because again that's not up to me either when it's when you get called you get called you know he often says in there that you know you showed up here in the in the in the 20th century um why didn't you show up 100 years from now uh why

did you show up in this country and not in in another country something is taking care of all Of that for you you don't have the power to be able to do these things and we carry around this Divine intelligence that's capable of doing anything that is omniscient and omnipotent and all knowing it's everywhere at once we have that within us we carry it around wherever we go it's this incredible intelligence and we all carry it around and yet we act like we are weak and we have a subconscious mind That has been programmed to

believe that we are uh that we're ordinary and we can't create Miracles and we can't accomplish fantastic things I've just discovered that within me there's this there's this miracle worker who is capable of manifesting and creating I mean just all of this stuff that I've written and all of these things that I'm doing even my giving this talk right now it's uh it's not my personality that is doing It every desire that you have is placed there by something that you have no control over every desire every thought in the da it says Lau says

2,500 years ago you're not doing anything you're just being done you're just being done if you don't believe that just look at you look in the mirror I've got pictures of myself on the wall when I was 21 years old and I Can't find one cell of that body that was here 50 years ago and yet when I was in it I believed that that's who I was I was certain this is who I am just like right now I'm certain this is who I am and a year from now you'll see things are different

things are changing who's growing these hairs in my nose and making them fall off my head what what is that about now when I shave then I have to shave over here on my ear and make sure That I don't I didn't decide any of that so this this idea that we carry around a genius within us that is capable of reconnecting itself to our source of being and I was contemplating the idea of how do I really connect to it because it is capable it created me it is capable of anything that I placed

my attention it's capable of it how do I get up how do I find It how can I really come to know it and make it work for me in ways that I never dreamt of before and I've dreamt big and accomplished big I've come here with big Dharma there's no question about it millions and millions maybe a billion people know who I am and read the work that I do I've got hundreds of millions of books out there and and endless CDs and so on and it's like that that's really big Dharma that's uh

and Yet there's this humble part of me inside that wonders why me why when I was a year old was I lying on a snowbank with my two brothers and my mother that had just been thrown Us by slushy a truck went by and threw us into the SL my mother was holding her three little kids I was one my brother was two my my old next brother was uh four and this was just before we were put into The home and this truck went by in a a morning it was in December of 1941

right after Pearl Harbor and we all threw back on my my mother is all upset she's got dirty slushy water all over her we're on a snowbank my brother Jim is all crying and all upset my brother Dave is weirded out because he was always weirded out when he was a little kid and I'm laying there saying this is great this is Fant Fantastic look we got a snow and it's like why was my mother's Favorite story about me was always you know this was you Wayne this was you were always looking for something positive

no matter what it was and nothing could get you down and why was I reading the secret garden and why was I watching and taking notes on a book on a television show called life is worth living and I could go on and on with the stories of of that taking place and now you look at your own life and not only look at your own life in Terms of all of the things that happened and the different kinds of time that I talked about on the PBS show and I talk a little bit about

you know horizontal time chronological time and then there's you know that cause and effect time and then there's vertical time and I talked about Kyle Yung saying that he he didn't have this idea it had him he said at the same moment that you're a protagonist in your own life and and you're making Choices at the very same moment you're also the spear carrier or the extra in a much larger drama and then he concluded with this this was a brilliant scholar he said in essence you are all doomed to make choices that's what I

can see clearly now is about understanding the paradig of being doomed to make choices you see if you take it with you If you take your physical body and look at your physical body you can say okay I'm in I happen to be in a 6'2 male body with blue eyes who's uh Caucasian who's got and so on these this is the body and I'm doomed this is it for this lifetime this is the body that I get it's going to grow into what this is but I can also make choices about being doomed and

the Choices I can make are I can be healthy I can watch what I eat I can exercise this body I can make this body as strong and vibrant and vital uh with all of the choices that I make about how I treat this body which is really as the Sufi say if you don't have a temple in your heart you'll never find your heart in a temple this is a temple and it is such an amazing temple with trillions of cells in it all Working together in one unity and so I can while I

was doomed with this body I'm not going to show up in this incarnation in a female body in a body that has you know dark skin instead of fair skin and so on so you're making choices now the question is do you understand what Yung was speaking about for the rest of your life doomed yes your life is laid out for you it really is you signed up for it when I had a conversation with god Before I ever entered this world God said what do you want to do when you come into this lifetime

and I said well I I think I'd like to teach self-reliance this time around and God said are you sure you want to spend an entire lifetime teaching self-reliance I said yes that's what I want to do he said then we better get your little ass into an orphanage you don't you think you know it's Like and there's no better place to learn self-reliance than in an orphanage right cuz there's not going to be any parents there which is a huge advantage in many ways no parents wow and I know because once you learn how

to rely upon yourself when you're a a young child no one can ever take that away from you and say well that it really doesn't apply it's really other people's fault the way things are and so on you never you can never buy into that And and that's true for for our whole lives including the dark threads including the the struggles and the things that come along as Elizabeth Kubler Ross once said who was a dear friend of mine before she passed on she said if you Shield the mountain from the windstorms you'll never see

the beauty of the carvings if you try to take the storms Of your life out they are adding Beauty to the tapestry that is your life as well the thing to do is to learn how to be in a state of appreciation and gratitude for the things that show up in your life as they show up instead of waiting and creating something called Enlightenment through suffering where you go through a long period of time and then you look back and say ah now I know that's what I did what I can see clearly I look

back and I can see this is exactly what I had to do and there were certain things I had to do which I'll be talking about so I'm reading this book and I'm up to like chapter 16 or 17 I don't know exactly I just finished another complete reading of this today and I'm thinking you know I meditate and I get quiet and I watch what I eat And I exercise as much as I possibly can and I try to be as loving as I possibly can I live try to live from a place of

divine love which is why I have it on my shirt wherever I go what's the answer Wayne Love period that's it that's what I did my PBS show it but it's still I know I carry around I know that that um this ego of mine this part of me that has believed that uh who I am is what I have and do And accomplish and what others think of me and all of that uh is not really my Essence but how do you how do you how do you come to a a place where you

are living in in such a way that the highest place within you this God that is within each and every one of us that we all carry around with us wherever we go that it becomes um that my person see this is the impersonal life that my personal life my which means my Personality and all of its components like my mind my body and everything that I do that it becomes in harmony with this Essence from which I originated and living from that place and it's a it's a week ago Thursday or so maybe two

weeks ago now and I always I go to the bank usually on Thursday and cash checks and just do all the things that you do at a bank and there's A a woman at the bank her name is Cheyenne and she has twin boys 3 years old and another child four years old and a and a husband who's um who has diabetes who's because he's overweight but he's incapacitated he can't work so she's a bank teller and she basically provides for her husband and her three children husband's this big man who's just let his life

get out Of control and um whenever I leave there I leave there with some because my kids come to visit me so you always need cash lots of it I have eight kids you know and they like cash they have an addiction to cash so it was I now I know that Cheyenne goes to lunch lunch at 20 minutes to 11: early lunch but she goes 20 to 11: till qu to 12 every day and when I when She hands me back the cash that I take you know in an envelope I always take $100

bill and I put it underneath her little computer thing there and I've been doing this for the last couple of years um just so that she'll have an extra $100 every week for helping and then I stop at the dry cleaners on the way home and there's a little lady in there she's about 4 10 real Hefty lady but she works in a dry cleaning Place where you know what a dry cleaning plant looks like I mean hot and steamy and and she's not a very attractive physically attractive looking woman and she's uh and whenever

I go in there I always slip her a 100 bucks just because uh I just think what it would be like to have to stay in that hot steamy room in Maui um handing people their clothes and ironing things and so on and and she doesn't have a family she doesn't have Anybody that really loves her except me so I try to do something for her and those are two of the things and there's others but so this is Thursday morning and I know I have to go to the bank and I just can't stop

thinking about Cheyenne and and Elsie this lady at at the uh dry cleaners and I think well I'll just go to the bank later because I had all of these things to do that day and and something inside of me now this is what I want you to understand it's like Napoleon Hill when he wrote Think and go rich said that the thing that separates out highly functioning self-actualizing people that maslo spoke about my teacher maslo um he said is that they have within them something called a burning desire and a burning desire isn't just

a desire and all desires as I said earlier are placed in there by this I am presence within us every desire that you have doesn't come from your personality It is placed there ask yourself close your eyes ask yourself what is it that puts a desire inside of me and know that it is that which animates all of life it can't be stopped it can't be changed I can't I can't postpone going off to the bank I don't want to miss I don't want to get there and Cheyenne not be there it didn't matter when

I go to the bank but I had to be there before her lunch Break and it just I couldn't get that thought out of my mind so I just said I screw it not a real spiritual thing I didn't actually say screw it I said something else but we're on television here so I said f it forget it forget it I don't know where your minds are but I'm just uh so I just drop everything that I'm doing I set it all down all the stuff that I had to get done I just put it

all Aside I said I'm I just I have to go to the bank now I was being driven to go to the bank and the reason I was driven to go to the bank that morning was to give Cheyenne that extra $100 that I thought she might need and I don't even I've you know we've never talked about that $100 and I've probably given it to her a hundred times at least and the last couple of years I do it every week and sometimes it's more at the holidays it's a lot more um but we've

never talked About it I've never because I don't want her to get into trouble at the bank for taking money from a customer she might not be allowed to do that I don't know so it's just sort of this silent thing between us so I get I go to the bank I do exactly what I told you I put the $100 down she she puts it in she Rings it up in her hand puts it in I go to the cleaners I see Elsie all sweating and just and she Comes over oh it's so good

to see you and and she one time asked me if I was God and I said yes and so are you you just don't know it and I do it's true and she just I mean you would think I'd given her a million dollars when when she sees me she just can't she can't even believe that someone would do this for her um and I get back and I actually stopped at the I stopped another place and did something Else for somebody know that I often do as well at this uh this Starbucks place um

and then I get home okay and I'm now I'm going to read chapter 17 I'm not going to read the whole chapter although it does they're they're short chapters I had no idea this talk was going to go like this tonight but I hope you're enjoying it um thank You so it's in the chapter called Finding Me and yes it is chapter 17 it's the second to the last chapter the last chapter is called Union that is once you find me how do you stay connected to me and the me the person that is writing

this from the first person is you as God the highest part of you that is putting Desires in there that is controlling all of your thoughts that is uh that is the invisi it's like we can find the commands Center in our bodies where all The things that we do and all the choices that we make are taking place we can always find the command center go into the brain and we can locate it and find out what is causing me what's allowing me to move my hand across here or to wiggle my toes or

to CL flick my fingers or whatever we can find the command center the scientists are really good at finding the command center but I'm not talking about the command center here Tonight I'm talking about the commander in the command center that is saying I think I'm going to wiggle my finger I can't do that my personality can't do that I can't have that thought myself I need something bigger than me to place that thought in there as it says in the Dow you're not do you're not doing anything you're being done also you're not thinking

anything you're being thought you are not the one who is Responsible for your thinking your thinking is placed there for you to elevate your Consciousness even the thoughts and the desires that are going to result in Failure because the way that we need to accomplish things very often is to fail not only as individuals but as a people and that's what wars are and that's what a cancer cell is in our body it's a cell that has lost its connection connection to the hole and it Will kill the very host that keeps it alive it's

got disease within it like each and every cell in our body is a cell that is impersonal except for the ones that love themselves so much that they want to gobble up the cell next to them and that's what we call cancer otherwise the trillions of cells within us are all impersonal they are all just doing what they do in connection to staying connected to this whole called our body Try to imagine that you are one cell amongst trillions of cells in a body called Humanity or God that we are attributes of God that's how

it's spoken in here the best and the shest way you may know me me being the god that you carry around with you at all times the best and the shest way you may know me is when Selfless Love fills your heart and there is a strong compelling urge to help Someone to heal their ills to relieve their suffering to bring them happiness to point out the true way that is the actual feel of me God within in you pushing the personality aside using your mind and your body for the purpose I created them as

avenues for the expression of my real nature which is perfect love the Christ of God the one vitalizing quickening lifegiving strengthening healing all supplying all informing power in the Universe it is in you and you will recognize it and be able to use it and access it and make it work for you when you experience Selfless Love or there is a strong compelling urge to help someone and that as I was I came back from the bank and I was going to read this chapter before I went on to do what else I was going

to do that day which was some writing and I thought oh my God that's the answer it's so so simple whenever you have a compelling desire Inside of you to do something for someone else that that's that's it saying to you here I am inside of you when it opens this book The Eight most important words in the English language from the Bible be still I'd like you to do that right now just be very still be still and Know that I am God be still try to get very still right now close your eyes

even and know beyond any doubt that I am God now who is the I am who is that that's the name that God gave to Moses in Exodus when Moses asks the burning bush that is not being Consumed what is your name who is it that is directing me to Egypt to the pharaoh to free these people my people who is it what is your name who is sending me my name is I am that I am and that shall be my name for all future Generations every time you say the name I am you

are saying the name of God but you can't do it yourself that thought Of I am is that Divine perfect love that is within you and it starts to knock on your Noggin and say somebody needs to be helped what can you do and you have this to push aside your ego it's it's so it's overwhelming you can't stop it now I experienced this several times in my life one of the times I experienced it was when I was diagnosed with leukemia which Many of you know about I wrote about it in one of my

books wish is fulfilled and I had a remote healing and then a actual meeting with John of God this uh this man who has treated over 40 million people without ever charging them someone that Roger has gone to and is going again is that right Roger next month um he I many of you may have seen the show I did with Oprah Winfrey on uh on that experience I've had with the with John of God um I had to submit even my medical records to show that I had leukemia so that we could talk about

it because uh that was one of the requirements for talking about it with Oprah and after that show Oprah flew her own plane down to uh well she didn't fly it but she went on the plan down to abaj that had a a remarkable experience as a result a healing experience when I had I'm not haven't Got time to go into it but when I had that healing experience with John of God um three years ago what they did what these entities did is they removed the fear that the word leukemia has the cancer of

the blood and replaced it with love and I was in San Francisco just a couple of weeks later at the St Francis Hotel making a film about my father called my greatest Teacher one of the chapters and I Can See Clearly Now how forgiveness was such a powerful part of my life and having to forgive this man who abandoned us and spent years in jail uh raped my mother on many occasions including my own conception on the 1st of September 1939 my mother told me about out before she passed away and how close she came

to uh having an abortion because Uh because she already had two children and a man who was a drunk mean drunk person but went a different direction and um and the what happened on that to me after that fear was removed was that I was able to make more contact with the I am presence that is within me that all of us have within us each And every person in here has it everything that is alive is animated by this invisible Divine intelligence everything that has life in it and that means everything including this plastic

water bottle everything and on my 71st birthday all I wanted to do that morning was to get up and go out to the uh an Union Square right outside the St Francis Hotel and I went down to the uh I went down to the cashier at the Hotel and I had $2,000 uh check that I wrote and I got $2,000 in $50 and I walked around Union Square for the entire it's all I wanted to do it was one of those compelling things that sent me to the bank that day early so that I could

take care of Cheyenne and Elsa when it didn't make any difference to me when I went but I had to it was just like this pull that's when you make that Connection and I spent the entire day of my 71st birthday just hugging and talking to and communing with and putting money in their pockets of of people who lived on the streets in San Francisco people who smelled terrible people who hadn't had baths it looked like in years um they all looked like when I was with Mother Teresa in 1989 she said every day she

said I see Jesus Christ in all of his distressing Disguises I saw I knew what she meant that day and my life has been like that sense not quite as extreme and now even more extreme this overwhel overwhelming pull to uh to live out something that whoever is writing this God saying this is my idea my idea of what this planet should look like it can be solved and resolved when We just listen to that calling inside that says help this person be there for that person do this for someone else that's how we eliminate

dis ease by reaching out and serving it's the only thing we can do with our lives and a few years back I was in a CCE and many of you have seen the film The Shift how many have seen the shift in the room look almost everybody here and if you haven't you should have you should feel guilty for not doing It that's not a part of this at all man but in the shift I talk about something that happened to me very similar to this and I didn't know it I wasn't aware of it

at the time but we were I took a group of 20 people my wife and I to Ace our second visit there I went there again recently had an even more remarkable experience and we were All going up the steps of this uh it was like a castle where uh sister Claire the founder of the poor Claire's um where she um lived at the time she was also the first woman admitted into the Franciscan order she was in love with Francis Francesco um but he had made a vow to serve God and to live Christ

Consciousness in his lifetime many of you know St Francis is a huge influence in my life I've been to a cc three times I wrote a book there called there's a spiritual solution to every problem one of those books that came came about after I would only put God in one of five books now I'm writing books called your sacred self and a spiritual solution to every problem and and then it's just overwhelmed me psychology is so far back here and spirituality and then and now where I'm going to go with this I'll share with

you shortly and while we were there there Was a young man his name was John grael and he uh I wrote about him and talked about him in the film and he had muscular distrophy but I didn't even know that at the time you wouldn't have known it but he had two braces on his legs uh big man about 6' one let about size me weighed somewhere between 180 200 lb big strong strapping guy and we were going at this winding staircase and it was W and as we started going at the staircase started narrowing

And narrowing and narrowing to a point where John was right behind me and he um he tapped me on the shoulder and he said uh Dr Dyer he said uh I can't go up any further because I have to lift my legs out to the side in order to get up to the top and it's narrowed and narrowed and he said and I can't go backwards because I can't bend my legs because of these braces what am I going to do and Um I had a very very serious knee injury I had been carried off

a tennis court and told by a series of orthopedic surgeons that I had bone on bone and I would have to have this right knee replaced in the immediate future within the next year or so so I wore a brace myself but that day I forgot to wear my braces and uh I said to John who was behind me I said well just um just put your arms around me and I'll just carry you up the rest of the Steps I had forgotten about my knee at the time and I had a vision as he

got on me and I was holding him and then he had these heavy braces as well I had a vision that uh there's going to be the headlines in the CC Daily News spiritual teacher from America you know collapses 40 people dead at the bottom of the stairs you know everybody and the mo what truly one of the signature moments in my Life happened to me as I had John on my back I started to collapse my knee started to go down I thought oh I forgot I don't have my brace on and my knee

just was I was going down with John on top of me and then all the people who who knows and as God is my witness I saw St Francis and I just saw it maybe for 10 seconds and I'm carrying John collapsing and he went like this that's all Just and I stood up right I this is a hard thing for me to talk well not hard it's just a very emotional thing to speak about um I started walking with John on my back up then three flights of stairs to the top and then I

didn't start walk I started running and I ran fast with him on my back just chaing right up the Stairs and my wife was waiting at the top and she looked at me she said everybody's out of breath and breathing hard and she said and you're running and you've got John on your back and you don't have your brace and what about your knee and oh my God you're going to I said I just had a miracle I saw St Francis and I went over to the edge of the castle and I put my hands

together like this and I was just giving Thanks and a woman who was on the trip there with us this is a chapter and I Can See Clearly Now snapped a picture her name was Patricia Egan she snapped a picture and it became the cover of there's a spiritual solution to every problem I don't know if anybody has a copy of that here maybe I can I can show it to you on the David Hawkins scale that calibrates at 599 which is the same calibration as Mother Teresa the energy of that it's in the photograph

I have it above my bed to sleep in that energy and you know I wasn't going to talk about this tonight I had already made up my mind like I wasn't going to write another book by the way I'm already into another book and so I decided I I said should I talk about this or I should I go with the Stuff I'm more familiar with or should I what you know and um I got here and I got a phone message I got a text message from John grael and he said um I'm having

trouble getting tickets and getting in there tonight I because I have to be up front because he's now in a kind of a roller Thing a little automatic wheelchair kind of thing because of his muscular distrophy he said I'm going to be there I haven't seen John in three or four years now he said um I'd really like to see you and I thought I think you would like to see him I would like you to meet the man who allowed me to reach down and serve and turn my life around In a very very

big way he's going to get married real soon his fiance is here with him his name is John grael and I'd like him to come out and just say a few words to you if you don't mind look at you how you doing my [Applause] friend sorry it took me so long to get you out of here and this is Darcy he's getting married you guys are getting married is that right that's right so why don't you tell all of these one can You hold this yeah yeah I can hold um what that experience was

like and what it meant to you in just a few moments well it was really profound cuz I went there for uh healing and Wayne took it so this knee by the way there's no I was listening I don't know about you but no um yeah I mean the experience I I just I I didn't I remember that moment when you were carrying me up and you were struggling and I thought you Know you were 60 at the time and I thought there's no way this guy can carry me up the steps and then all

of a sudden you started running up and and I didn't know that experience until after the fact but um yeah I mean it was just uh I can't really describe the feeling of being there and meeting you I just it was just um I just can't really describe that part do you have a sense Of uh this body of yours that is going through whatever muscular distrophy is you know taking it or whatever it is that uh that that's not who you are at all have you really come to grips with that and yeah you

know when I met you in 1995 I was really that was when I was first diagnosed I was in this place over the years with this disease as it slowly took away my ability I was really Frustrated and angry and then there was a part where I went to John of God in 20 where the thought came to me what if this disease that you have is here to help other people what if it's for you to help have compassion and love for yourself because I didn't love who I was and in that moment I

realized that this muscular distrophy is my teacher and it brought me Darcy I Mean that was the same year that I met her in in 2011 and and I realized that I need to start loving myself first and my world has changed completely I mean I never thought I would get married I mean I have no job I have no I'm not strong and and yet I found someone who or she found me who completely loves me for who I am and I've never had that before and so it was really profound so I realized

that yeah I have muscular distopy but that's not who I am you know I'm more than that and so beautiful I uh come on over here on stay up here with me for a few more minutes you you might um and Darcy um my daughter uh Tracy is here where are you honey oh there she is say hello to my daughter stand up baby [Applause] um I've Spoken over the years and to Tracy she's my oldest daughter she's 46 years old um hey if I'm going to be 74 you're going to get know how old

you are and Tracy when you read I Can See Clearly Now was with me when we went across the country when I left the university professorship that I had because something inside of me said uh uh you don't really want tenure uh you don't really want to be here doing the same thing for the rest Of your life I was driving down the Long Island Expressway 1976 and on my way had just written yonia sounds and something overwhelming came over me another one of those moments those uh maslo called them Peak experience I called them

Quantum moments a moment when my life was going to go One Direction or another and I was on the liie and I pulled over I was driving at Volkswagen at the time and I pulled over it was so overwhelming that I just Uh I almost was incapacitated and something just deeply said to me I was the star at that University I had written three textbooks I had written now this book your aronia sounds um I was getting national attention and all of this kind of thing and I knew that um that something was calling me

to something different something that brought me here tonight um and all the Things that have happened since and it was um I got back on the liie went to St John's University where I had been a professor there for six years um was about to be granted tenure and I went into the Dean's office and told her that I this would be my last semester that I was taking this book and my daughter and we were going to cross the country Together and I was going to tell the country what it was that I knew

in my heart and she said you you can't res me she said you everybody wants tenure and you're going to be the only one that gets it and I said that's one of the scariest things to me is the idea that I I would be here in the same office doing the same thing when I've already done that um said I have to do it and I left And the first year that I left that safety security of uh of a full professorship at a major university uh I earned more money in that first year

than I had made the previous 35 years of my life uh and that was one of my big fears of being able to take care of my family and so on and now Tracy many years later is working as an executive at uh Best Buy it's a huge organization she was had a big future there but she was never Happy and said we would talk almost every day about uh and she's going to be a featured next week on The Huffington Post in something called the moment I knew for sure and on her website um

she said the moment that she knew for sure was what I said to her one day after endlessly talking to her about her fears and uh and going out there and making happen what you know in your heart she's a designer in in inside of her and she has ideas and she's very conscious very Spiritually conscious person uh she believes in making this planet a a safer better place not uh and her excitement was always about designing and doing these things and creating you know she wanted to do Handbags and so on and finally I

just said to her Tracy just don't die with your music Still In you honey just just don't die with your music Still you came here to play music those inner callings those things that are pulling you in the Direction of where you want to go um you got to listen to those otherwise you'll just uh you'll atrophy and she decided to start her own company took all the risks let go of very much what I had done many years before that gave up the security gave up the benefits gave it all up to listen to

what was in her heart and she started a company called Urban junet and she makes handbags out of recycled water bottles the interior part of it um bags that Have batteries inside and that where women can charge their phones and so it's an incredible she's here um her bags are out there one of them is right here and I wanted to give it to my friend Darcy as a gift for bringing John back into my life and place this around you and that is for you and much love to you and you yeah I just

want to say John I know in in here that you are already healed and you're healing a lot of people just by Your presence and you are a major force in my life and I love you so much God bless you come here kiss God bless now get off my stage you're getting [Applause] there your excitement the thing that excites you the thing that makes you know that this is why you're here and what you're all about That's the reason that it is your excitement the reason that you feel good inside when you think about

what it is that you would really love to do and be the reason that the word you know enthusiasm in Greek breaks down to the God within in Theos yasm the God within when you have excitement towards something it is your connection to that highest place within you my excitement the day that I went to see Cheyenne and Elsy is my connection to my highest Self and one other time in my life there have been many but one other time someone gave me um a piece about a woman who had had a near-death experience and

I started to read this it was like 25 pages on the internet and I was so profoundly and deeply touched by what this woman experienced she had had terminal cancer for 5 years and was in the final hours of her Life here on Earth she was being wheeled into a hospital in Hong Kong in a coma her husband was by her side Danny and he was whispering in her goodbye because no one thought that she could possibly survive she had tubes coming out of her her weight was down to somewhere around 80 lbs she had

tumors the size of lemons throughout her entire body from melanoma and Cancer and she had a vision while she was in this near-death experience and she watched what was going on and she watched the doctors and she saw her own brother getting on a plane in India to come to Hong Kong to get there before she died she was watching it all take place and watching the doctors down the corridor discussing the fact that this was hopeless that there was nothing that Could be done I talked to her today I told her about the impersonal

life I asked her to download it which you can do free just it's in there just push some kind of button and it's there for you and she already read but because you can read this whole thing in a few hours but I think you could study it for a lifetime which I'm finding myself doing because it's one of those books where You just read a sentence over and over and over again realizing my good I really do have God inside of me I just have to be still and know that I am God and

that's not blasphemy that's an awareness that uh I must be like what I came from and something is animating all of life including yours and mine we're all connected Oneness and I asked her I said if you read it I'd like you to uh think about doing an all day seminar with me on this and what you experienced when you were with God and she's here and I'm going to bring her up I want her to talk to you for a few minutes she's going to be talking tomorrow but I want you to hear a

few words from this woman that I put on my public television special um and fell in love with and and her husband is here as well so don't uh but I fell in Love love with not just her but this what she carries around inside of her it's so profound it touched me so deeply and when I read it it was another one of those moments that I just read to you the best and the shest way you may know me me meaning God within you is when Selfless Love fills your heart and there's a

strong compelling urge to help someone to heal their ills to relieve their suffering to bring them happiness and I found her because it was she was Anonymous as well her name was Anita M at that time and she's finally come out and said her real name was Anita morani she'll be speaking tomorrow but I wanted you to hear a few words from her because she is another one of those people that has been a turning point in my life Anita come on up for a few minutes will you sweetheart there she is look you so

beautiful hello my love I love you [Applause] too tell these people in a few moments what uh how what you experienced resonates with what I've been talking about for the last couple of hours wow um what I experienced was so incredible and what's really amazing is that Wayne has been talking about it today and he talks about it a lot it's about when he says I am God I understand completely what he's talking about because it was the realization that There's no separation between God and Me God isn't a separate entity out there when I

was not in my body when I was no longer in my body I was aware that my physical body was just this small thing lying there on the hospital bed dying but I still existed but I didn't have my body my race my culture my gender my beliefs all of that was left behind all of that was part of was part of uh physical life all I was was this pure Essence and this pure Essence it felt Like all I was was just pure love pure God pure Consciousness we can call it any of those

things but it was that realiz ization that saved my life that realization there's no separation what role did uh fear play in your developing this cancer a huge and what role do you think it plays in our world today it's a huge role I think all of us have brought up on a huge diet of fear I feared everything I feared being myself I was a people pleaser I was always putting Myself last everything I did was out of fear even if I ate healthy Foods it was because I feared getting cancer not because I

loved myself or my life or I valued myself and wanted to be healthy um even the kind of work I chose everything I did was because I feared the consequences if I didn't do that so even going and choosing a job that paid enough money to pay the bills it was because I feared if I didn't do this I wouldn't have enough money not because I Loved that job right I said on my last PBS special that uh why do you drive the speed limit you know do you drive the speed limit because you want

to keep your neighbor safe and you want to keep yourself and your family safe and and this is your expression of love for yourself and your fellow human beings why are you laughing because we all know that's don't We yeah but it shouldn't be because or do you drive the speed limit because you're afraid that if you don't you'll get a ticket you'll have to pay the fear it doesn't sound like much but multiply it by a thousand times a day and a thousand days and a few uh Decades of life and you've got what

is the cause of yeah cancer I realized I wasn't living my own life I didn't know whose life I was living because every choice I Made every decision I'd made up to that point was based on fear and when I got cancer when I was diagnosed with cancer it was uh even though I didn't walk around saying oh my I'm going to die I've got leukemia I'm afraid of that it wasn't it wasn't like that at all but the word leukemia when you hang there's this subconscious sort of programming that goes into us that is

uh and it was only through John of God it was only through That where that fear was just totally removed and when it was removed everything in my life changed and when I talked earlier about excitement the things that excite you now and ID was saying today we're going to do a seminar together on putting these uh these two ideas together of uh the impersonal life because there really is and it's like this thing that that we carry around with us is um it's not personal it's impersonal we have to find We have to get

rid of our personality and recognize that this Consciousness is in every single one of us in every s wasn't that one of your discoveries when you were in that in that state absolutely that my biggest Discovery was that um in fact that life doesn't happen to me in other words I'm not a victim of life life happens through me and in fact we just have to allow life to be lived through us because that Consciousness that exists in you in me in Wayne in all Of us it's the same Consciousness that it's that is expressing

itself through all of us and in fact the ego eye the person who we think we are actually gets in the way and yeah and it's we get in the way and we fight against it be still and know that I am that's the name of God God now who is the I am when you say those words if you get rid of your personality the person that you are Meaning everything that is associated with you as a physical being just get rid of that and recognize that that invisibl within you is capable of taking

a person on death's doorstep I mean you have to see the pictures uh I'll show them during my workshop right um I mean this she really was dead that's uh and came back and the interesting thing is once you saw yourself healed in that state that you were in oh in fact as soon as I came Back um as soon as I started to wake up from the coma my although my body was still totally weak and connected to tubes and couldn't walk and I was breathing with oxygen and all that but I knew I

was already healed and that my body just had to catch up and within five weeks they could find no trace of cancer in my body this is Anita wh I don't need that you can have that Anita morani she'll be speaking tomorrow at what time Sunday Sunday suay 3:30 right here right here on this yeah come see here I love her I love you so much my thank you I love you thank you you're welcome okay wow okay let's get started with this talk my teacher Abraham aslo once said the study of crippled uh stunted

immature and unhealthy specimens which is what psychology often does looks at the neurotic and the psychotic and that's when you take psychology you put All of the things that are all the crippled part of us into our labels and then you take a test on it and then you think you're educated the study the study of crippled stunted immature and unhealthy specimens can only yield a crippled psychology and crippled philosophy the study of self-actualized people must be the basis for a more sensible uh science of psychology what is possible this is the people we need

to study when we talk About mental health and when we talk about physical health you know the capacity that we have within us each and every one of us carry it around when you get excited about something like you you know what excites me now other than what I've just been talking about with this impersonal life um is um on the summer solstice last year June the 20th I was up in uh in the maritimes in Canada and I met a fellow named Bill Davis who's a medical doctor a cardiologist and um I actually didn't

meet him I met someone who had been a patient of his um and then I ultimately met him and we're going to do a PBS special together and I looked at these two people uh an and um her husband just lost his name uh Mark I think it is um and I hadn't seen them in about two years and I looked at both of them I said I just can't believe You guys you look so fantastic you look so healthy you know what is it that you're doing um what did you do you've lost your

belly you've lo you know to to the to her husband and to Aunt she was just glowing her skin was like she just looked fantastic I said what is going on with you two what did you do I want to follow you around I want to be what you are there in they're in their 30s and so on well they said we had this fellow up here we did a seminar up here his name Is Bill Davis and he wrote a book called um Wheat Belly um and hay house has a book very similar to

that called wheat free WorryFree which I really urge you to read and she said we just decided to go gluten-free and I said well what what is that what is that what is gluten I don't even know I just know it's some something that you're here a word about and and so on and they started talking to me about it and looking at how our Foods are all being uh genetically modified and the impact that it is having on uh on our population where onethird of the young people under the age of 18 years in

this country are obese one out of three that one out of every hundred children born in America now are considered to be autistic 1% of the population of New births are autistic uh whereas in 1970 it was one in 15,000 uh the amount of diabetes they Say that by the year 2040 the year I turn 100 there will be there will be one out of every 2.5 people are going to have diabetes with the way that we are going one out of every two and a half people I mean that's that's a very size like

40% of the population are going to have them and and we haven't looked at what we're doing to our food supply that the wheat that we are eating is not the wheat that we ate when we were kids even one Generation ago and that um we need to really look take so I said that's it I'm going gluten-free I'm going to just give it a shot I'm not sure what it is I looked it up it's this sticky stuff that's it and the wheat that grew up when we used to uh sing amber waves of

grain you know which is amber waves of grain no longer exist wheat isn't 5T tall like it used to be growing you know in the plains it's 1 and 1/2 ft and they they they grow it by calories per acre And the more of it that so it's now dwarf wheat that has been genetically modified that puts within it pesticides and we share seven identical genes with wheat did you know that and a banana as well I think there's nine with a banana so here we are sharing the same genes and eating stuff that has

been programmed one not to reproduce we certainly don't want wheat to reproduce like for Lifetime it has always been the seed from this generation produces the Seed for the Next Generation prod that's sort of how God intended all of this to work now it doesn't work that way the seed from this generation whoa we have modified it so that it doesn't reproduce the Next Generation we can leave that up to monsano or some one of the companies that says now if you want more wheat you go out and get it from us and trying to

tell us that this doesn't impact us but when we see the kinds of changes that are taking place and when I saw the Changes that took place when I decided I'm going to get rid of genetically modified foods in my diet not only that but I'm going to start talking about it thank you and we need we need to really look at very hard at this so since last June the 20th you're looking at a gluten-free body haven't had one slip not once and this is gone nice flat stomach in here no bloating of any

kind occurring I gave told my wife to go on it my wife who uh Uh has been we've been separated for 133 years but we're very very close we raised we had seven children together we're uh pretty close a family even though she's uh living somewhere else um and and she's had seizures uh like once or twice a week many seizures and she said four grand malls and I read the chapter in there on U on these ideology unknown seizures and she's gone gluten-free and hasn't had one in almost a year well would be a

year in June Um depression so much of it in our society depression and the kinds of foods that we're eating as we modify them um I we just need to look at I contacted Bill Davis looked him up just like I looked up Anita I was compelled I had that inner kind of knowing that I had to find her she was in Hong Kong and her name was Anita M that's all I knew but I found her and told her that I'll publish your book I'll help you get it written I'll write the forward to

it if uh if you'll do it and then by the way she sent me the first edition of it uh what she had written and I sent it back I said it's just not good enough that's true she'll tell you um I said I want you to rewrite the whole book but I want you to rewrite it from the perspective of what you were experiencing when you were in that near-death experience come to come to us from that place rather than just giving A clinical sort of assessment of what the doctor said and what you

did and she redid it and her book dying to be me New York Times bestseller one of the top books that Hay House has ever produced and it's going to be for a long long time to come and I did the same thing with Bill Davis Medical Doctor cardiologist in Milwaukee Wisconsin and I said let's come together let's do a PBS show together let's let America know that They have a choice in whether they want their Foods to be modified in a chemistry lab or they want to have the food that God produces and by

the way now that there's new meaning to Colorado High you know mile high mile high city but you guys have legalized this uh you know of course Monsanto is right after that looking at how they're going to uh aify now we're going to get pissed okay start messing with you start Messing with our pacalo then we're going to be upset and I don't think it's any accident cuz there are no accidents in the universe you know that the two states that legalized marijuana both went to the Super Bowl last year I think you know Seattle

and Denver Champions all right if there is intelligence behind life and there is every reason to believe that there must Be and let me give the evidence for that here's Max plank Einstein's teacher as he received the Nobel Prize for physics he said as a man who has devoted his whole life to the most clear-headed science to the study of matter I can tell you as the result of my research about Adams this much there is no matter as such it's all an illusion including your bodies cuz my teacher AR gadata Maharaj in India said

when we asked the question what is real Master what is real he said the only thing that is real is that which never changes if it's changing it's not real because the moment you get a hold of it it's something different and then it's gone but the I the I am that is in all of life is the only thing that it's real the same I am that was in me when I was 20 and 30 and 40 and six and 46 and so on is unchanging I can tell you this as the Result of

my research about atoms there is no matter as such all matter originates and exists only by virtue of a force which brings the particles of an atom to vibration and holds this most minute solar system of the atom together we must assume as scientists behind this Force the existence of a conscious and intelligent mind this mind is the Matrix of all matter that's from the greatest scientists of the 20th century Max Plank and Albert Einstein so if there is Intelligence behind life and there is every reason to believe that there is as I've just said

then all of that intelligence is innate in every creation of that intelligence this Universal Mind is complete and entire within each and every one of us all you have to do is Discover it for yourself to know its power and Perfection to be yours so this intelligence this Matrix of all matter Every creation from it contains everything that it is it has to it's like the drop of ocean you take a drop of you take a cup of ocean and you pull it out and it's got the same intellig in it it's a cup of

God it's not as big it's not as strong and as long as it stays separate from its source it loses ultimately the power of its source but it will disintegrate Blow Away turn change shape vaporize and come back to its source and when it does it's just Like if you take a rock I wrote that out somewhere up here I know it oh here it is I love this A rock is he from a a mountain it has the same nature as the mountain but when it is disconnected it is no longer called Mountain it's

called Rock not one atom of its Essence has changed yet pulling it from the mountain has made it something else put the rock back in the mountain and it no longer is Rock it's now called Mountain so the existence of The rock is determined not by its substance but by its relationship to its source and this is true for you your existence is not determined by the substance of you it's determined by your relationship to your source and when you understand your relationship to your Source you're understanding something called Oneness and Oneness is something that

as long as you Are in this physical body you're never going to be able to grasp because everything in the physical plane has its opposites they're called dichotomies it's what the bhagavat Gita is all about it's like bringing the Opposites together into Oneness when they looked at the gospel of St Thomas which was discovered in 1945 at a place called nag hamadi in the Dead Sea Scrolls and they looked at the gospel of St Thomas which Was written at the same time as Jesus was alive on the planet as opposed to Matthew Mark Luke and

John which was 120 to 80 to 120 years after the death of Christ a recollection a century later of exactly what he said okay I don't remember what I had for breakfast but 120 years ago somebody's given the exact words of Jesus well in the gospel of of St Thomas in the Dead Sea squirrels um this is what Jesus is quoted exactly as saying when you make The two one and when you make the inner as the outer and the outer as the inner and above then you shall and only then shall you enter the

kingdom when you make the two into one how do you get to know Oneness how can you experience something that has no opposite like if I ask you to give me the opposite of Joy what would you say sadness unhappiness depression whatever The opposite of Joy sadness if I ask you to imagine a world in which there is no opposite when it is only joy 100% Joy that's the only thing it can be that's the kingdom now you take the word love and ask yourself what's the opposite of love as we know it on this

planet fear hate try to imagine oness Anita will tell you about it because we've talked many hours about this personally and I've read read about it in her book dying to be me as well that this is a place where you experience only love hard for us to imagine but the reason there is only love is because when you're with your Source there is no opposite so that if you if you lived on the sun the sun hot it's hot like 985 degrees Fahrenheit something like that but if You lived on the sun would you

have a concept of Darkness like would anybody living on the sun say ah it's going to be dark or Darkness you wouldn't why wouldn't you know Darkness if you lived on the sun because the sun is the source of all light and when you are with the source there is no opposite that's what you will come to know and can come to know because you Carry around that Oneness within you the only problem is you have you've detached from it you're disconnected from it and coming back into contact with it to understand this magical power

that you carry within you it is so powerful and so strong my youngest daughter Sage who was on my last PBS special with me has written a book with me it's called goodbye Bumps I really like if you have a child under the age of 10 just have them read this when she was 5 years old she went to a dermatologist on Maui and she was asked uh she had these flat warts on her face and they were getting worse they had been and she'd had them for like two years now she's maybe five or

six years old and they were around her lips and here and then they were moving up around Her eyes and and especially when the sun would come out because they would get uh uh her face would get tanned but these things wouldn't they were white so we went to the dermatologist and he said to her he said well he said there's two things one he said we can burn them off we can wait he said they might go away he said we can burn them off but it'll leave little scars around on your face and

all that or we can give you a medication the medication is very strong And it'll leave your face kind of red and so on and uh he said oh you can wait and I said well honey there's a third option and she said what's that said I said well I said you can talk to your bumps she said what do you mean I said you can just talk to them and uh and um ask them whatever it is that you want whatever you want to say to them you know so we went home she said

I think I'm going to take option three you know I'm going to talk to them she didn't Want to have them burned off she didn't want to have her face scarred and all red and so on from the medication and she went and in three nights of talking to her bumps and telling them that she could no longer be with them she was able to send them away in 3 days she went there we w't there on a Wednesday and Friday they were completely gone the power of the and my kids were all raised with

this kind of mentality that's why I've written these children's books up Here because if we can get kids out of their subconscious programming and their subconscious program is programming is always what I can't do what's not possible for me how weak you are and so on instead of them believing that they carry God around with them every place that they go it's their it's their Destiny to know within that I have the power to heal myself and John grael here is a perfect example I mean he looks better than he's than I've seen him look

In 10 years I just can't believe it maybe that's Darcy I don't know but uh the idea that he is not letting himself be in any way weakened by this thing called muscular distri that it's just as his curriculum to God so years ago I I I I spent one year as a doist the year the day that I turned 65 was May the 10th 19 uh 2005 and on May the 11th I called my secretary Maya and I told Her that I've been called to Mai and that um the da is called calling me

the da Tao is another word for uh for God it means the great way in ancient Chinese te means the virtue of and Ching means book so the da of Ching written 2,500 years ago 500 years before the birth of Christ um is a some call it the wisest book ever written and it's only 81 verses and I decided that I was going to take Each one of those 81 verses and I was going to live it and then write about it and I wrote These channeled essays while looking at a picture of Lau I

know it sounds crazy but that's what I did every day for the year that I turned 65 till I was 66 uh every four days I would start another another uh another essay on them and I always encourage my audiences to take the da which is this is just the da this isn't the the book of essays that I Wrote it's just the actual da to Ching my version of what the da Shing would be I took like 10 of the issues the additions that I thought were valuable and put them together I encourage you

when you get your new purse all right seriously I carry this with me wherever I go I never travel without it I have it in the in the glove compartment of my of my car I read from It every single day and some of the greatest and wisest words that I've ever uh ever heard one of them you know that you've all heard is you know the Journey of a Thousand Miles what begins with a single step if you want to accomplish big things think small you know 26 years ago I thought I thought small

I thought I'm not going to have any alcohol in my body this day one one day just today and when I wake up tomorrow I'll make that decision and 26 years have gone by and I Accomplish something very big being alcohol free for a quarter of a century when I previously drank virtually not virtually every day I drank not a lot I was never drunk or anything but every day and when I decided when my teacher in India said if you want to reach your Highest Potential and live the Dharma that you signed up for

you can't be putting things into these brain of yours that are going to deteriorate or they're they're going to Ruin the uh brain cells that you have even if it's just a few at a time he said you have to experience total sobriety and I remember saying well I don't mind total sobriety I just like to have a few beers in the evening after I run and so and that was 26 years ago you accomplish big things by thinking small I'm going to just throw this to somebody in the front row and whoever there it

oh right into your pocket you must have Needed that that's yours so by way of bringing some kind of closure to this I mean I could just go on for the rest of the night for sure yeah but I have to do an interview at 10:00 tonight so uh I have to make sure I'm out in time um last on the uh 85th birthday of one of the greatest teachers that ever came down the road his name was mevlana which in farsy means our Master meana jalaludin roomi the great poet um I was I was

to give a lecture in uh in Ephesus Turkey before 300 and some people in fact uh I just saw a copy of it up here somewhere where is it oh there it is it's called modern WIS modern wisdom from the ancient world and um we did a Mediterranean Cruise um and it's seven DVDs it's really spectacular and I gave a whole series of lectures Throughout the Mediterranean and we were going to call C culminate at this place in Ephesus Turkey which is the uh the home of the mother of Jesus for the last 30 some

years of her life when Jesus was being uh crucified he asked John if he would take care of his mother um and make sure that she was uh that she was safe for the rest of her life and she lived in this home in Ephesus Turkey for some 30 32 33 Years and um we had uh we had 11 buses of some like 30 30 some people on each bus there were 350 people that were there I wrote this story out and I can see clearly now and we pulled into uh this this amazing place

in turkey that has it's being excavated and it's only like 15% excavator it's this huge City and it's it's it's at the time of uh when Jesus was was alive and it's just this amazing place to walk through these streets that Exactly as they were not not replicas but the actual cities because they're digging it's a big archaeological dig and then there's this home there this beautiful home that's a replica of uh of the exact home that the mother of Jesus is with all these candles and a very holy place and I was to give

a lecture there on the 85th annivers of the of the uh birth of uh galadon roomi which was uh September the 30th uh 2012 he was born in uh 1273 I think Something like that anyway um so we stopped and we had to give a uh we had to go have a bathroom break you know in Turkey in the heat uh so the buses all stopped and the women went to get in line and the men went into one big Ural room and and I went into that room and I was thinking about giving this

talk in front of all of these people at the home of The place where the mother of Jesus lived and as we you can imagine what it smelled like it was in the desert it was hot very very hot and there were a lot of men in there and it was oh even thinking about it now just uh just it was just a gigantic Ural is what it was it was just so he went in there and and there was this old Turkish man old probably 10 years younger than I am but he was uh

he had a uh W of like dirty paper and As we would use the yal and and wash our hands he would hand us this kind of dirty paper you know and my subconscious mind programming that we all have is so much of it in our lives was uh for me it was like there's always somebody wanting a tip and and and I don't I don't want him I don't want why why do I have why does he expect me to give money and all of this kind of this stuff that that you get programmed

with when you're a kid and you grow up and You know you drive by somebody ask for money on the street and you have sort of a little judgment about them instead of just giving them a silent blessing you don't have to give them money just a silent blessing of love because you want to get to a place of divine love and divine love is a different kind of love it's the love that I aspire to be and to live and to practice every day in my life every day not just when I'm speaking to

a large group like this but In all the little ways uh and divine love is a love very different than human love human love is a love that that changes and it varies you know and spiritual love is a love that uh that never changes it's like the love we have for our children but it does vary human love it's like I love you today don't love you so much yesterday it's like it's it's up up and down up and down but Divine love is a different kind of love it's the love of the I

am presence That's within you I always point to my head because it's it's in our head it's that thing that gives us a desire and gives us a thought um that we have that's formless that's beyond I mean do you ever stop and figure out how do these thoughts come and where are they coming from how do I do this and why don't I just stop all of this thinking because this intelligence that animates all of life is in there so I aspire to live this Divine love and I walk out of That Ural and

I kind of move away from this guy cuz he's dirty and he's got paper and and I don't want that and I don't want to give them a tip and I don't like people doing all of this and and I'm thinking all of the thoughts as I'm on my way to the home of the mother of Jesus to give a talk on roomie and divine love with thoughts in my mind swirling around about how this really pisses me Off you know that I'm so I stopped myself because this is what you have to do when

you have these thoughts in there that are placed there by this divineness within you very often often for the purpose of having you experience that failure and then realizing and that's how you grow so these thoughts that you think are evil and are terrible and are so on are not that they're not placed there because there's something evil there they're place there to help us by Going down we generate the energy to get to a higher place so I'm thinking these thoughts and I go back and I go back into the restroom and I have

in my pocket I have a 20 note it's about $30 it's all all the money that I carried with me on this and um I went into him and I I just looked at him and he didn't speak any English and I just gave him the 20 note which is a lot of money there in that part of Turkey and and I put my arm around him and I thanked him and that's how we do it we catch ourselves first when we have a thought and then we catch oursel not only by recognizing that we

had the thought but now we correct the behavior it's called making amends in the in the uh recovery movement you you make amends on the spot you don't just change the thought you change the behavior that's how you reprogram your subconscious mind To no longer have those kind of thoughts in the first place which create the kind of behaviors that just don't lend ourselves to to spiritual Unity our Oneness with God and that day at the end of the talk um there's a fellow here his name is Alex Woodard who has a wonderful book it's

called for the sender and um here's what I said about his about Alex it says Alex Woodard is one of the greatest writers I have ever come across for the sender is an inspiring life-changing and thought-provoking work is going to be performing and presenting to you tomorrow sometime tomorrow I encourage you to be here for it uh and Alex his book for the sender what he does is he take letters that people write and he writes a song based upon these letters and I'd like to close this program today with u a letter that my

Daughter Serena wrote to me after attending that lecture in Ephesus at the mother of Jesus she was with she accompanied with me in the whole Mediterranean trip and then I showed or Alex the letter and he wrote a song about it and my daughter other daughter I have a lot of daughters my daughter Sky who is and this song is on there has a brand new CD it's just come out look at that gorgeous picture it's called letting go uh and This song is on there so here's the letter I if you saw the PBS

show you saw we filmed it but I want to share it with you tonight it says dad today I sat behind you in Ephesus Turkey while you gave a lecture to a few hundred people who had traveled from all over the world to hear you speak I was overcome with emotion as I saw you standing there fulfilling your Dharma while touching the lives of so Many I know you as my father but you've always been a teacher to me as well you have taught me that the solutions to all of life's problems are inside of

me and that I only had to go within and be silent and present and know that all is well you never told me how to live or what to think or what to believe in instead you showed me how to make each step of prayer and each word a word of love you taught me about roomie St Francis HAF Jesus Buddha Krishna Muhammad St J Neville and so many others you taught me to believe in magic and miracles and you showed me how to be in awe of the awesome world we live in since the

time I was brought into this world I knew that I was safe to be exactly as I was and that whoever I was I was a perfect creation of God you told me that I was God and that it was God that looked out from behind my eyes I learned from you that I was the master of my own faith the the creator Of my own destiny of all the lessons I have learned the thing that hit me the hardest was when you said that I am God could I really be a spark of God

a a a perfect creation put here on Earth with a purpose you say this all the time but I've always struggled with it especially since school and Society were telling me otherwise I doubted myself I felt inferior and I worried that I needed to apologize to something for Even contempla in this idea I have felt unworthy undeserving and unsure although you gave me great tools I still had to figure out how to use them on my own now I understand that God is love God is beauty God is truth you told me I came from

an infinite space of perfection and that I will return to it one day too slowly I'm beginning to understand people love you so much and Yet to me you have always been dad you drove me to school each morning you taught me how to swim and how to ride a bike you read me stories and you came to all my plays as I have grown you have encouraged me to follow my own Dharma and to go after whatever it is that excites me you believe in me Dad and I love you so much for that

what do you say to someone that gave you life and then showed you how to live it You say thank you thank you thank you I love you Serena now beautiful so I showed that to Alex he wrote a song a beautiful song called this gift that's on it's in his book for the center it's also in Sky CD as she sang it to me and I've asked him to come out and help me close this program by uh singing that song that he wrote Alex sky this is my daughter Sky who's that You have

of your subconscious mind programming that we call Sleep um and I'd like you to listen to this little statement from The Book of Job it says in a dream in a vision of the night when deep sleep falls upon men While slumbering on their beds then he opens the ears of men and seals their instructions he being God the source your subconscious mind has been programmed to believe that you're ordinary instead of that you're extraordinary and you carry God around with you at all times and all things are possible you haven't been programmed that way

and if you use the last five minutes Of your day to review the things that you don't like the things that didn't go well the things that upset you the people that made you angry the things that that were failures the deal that didn't work out the illness that is bothering you or someone in your family and if you've trained your mind this way and especially at night as you go off to sleep then your subconscious mind gets programmed because your subconscious Mind is the 96% of your mind that it operates on automatic pilot it's

all the stuff that you do without thinking all day long from the moment that you awaken to when you brush your teeth to how you drive your car to how you go through traffic to how how you you what you wear and on and on it goes all the decisions that you make you're not consciously thinking about them and then you get a program in there and this program gets you to focus on the things that you Don't want and you don't like and the universal subconscious mind to which we are all connected even though

we've lost our connection many of us because of the choices that we've made because the choice to move to a place of divine love roomie said that when you are born a ladder is placed before you to help you to escape from this world to help you to recognize that you are in this world but you are not of this world you're in it but you're not of it what you are of is An infinite Divine intelligence a soul that only wants to expand because it's infinite if it was finite it would begin someplace and

stop someplace but your soul doesn't do that your soul has no form to it so it is always growing all always expanding It theme song is Don't Fence Me In oh give me land lots of land and the starry skies above let me ride through the Wide Open Spaces that I Love Don't Fence Me In Don't Fence Me In don't put a don't put a fence around me don't put me into a box don't compartmentalize me don't let me try to live somebody else's life and you want to reprogram your subconscious mind when you're going

off to sleep to think about the things you would like to manifest as if they already were here that is how I healed myself of a very serious neck injury last year of leukemia of any of the that's how my daughter healed herself of her bumps It's like it's what I've raised my children to believe that you have a divine power within you and you don't want to allow someone else to take it away from you be still in your Stillness you want to meditate my practice is an hour a day of meditation and it's

a very quiet and peaceful one I learned it and I put out a program which is here and it's called the I am wishes fulfilled meditation all I want you to do with this if you decide You want it is to fill out a piece of paper in your mind and on that piece of paper write the word that t h a t at the top and anything that you would like to manifest for yourself into your life whether it's a healing whether it's a business whether it's a relationship whatever it is it doesn't make

any difference just put that on the piece of paper in your mind I am that because these are the words That God spoke to Moses it's the only place in all the spiritual literature and it goes back 3,3 300 years ago it's the only place where God Reveals His name my name is I you can look it up in Exodus I am that I am and that shall be my name for all future Generations strictly straight right out of every edition of the Bible I am that I am that now in your meditation what they

have done I didn't do this James tman and and uh a scientist go back and look at the Language from 3,300 years ago and the letters in Chinese and Associated them with the sounds and they created a sound on track two and three on my seminar on Divine love I have three or four of those where we actually do this uh meditation and I would do it in here if we had the time but we'd be here till 4:00 in the morning um but it's a simple 20-minute meditation and you just listen to that sound

and it's the basically it's the sound that God was saying to Moses at the time according to the SC all whatever scientific sound we have I am that I am just practice it just give it a shot just try it it's something I meditate with it all the time because that sound is there's just something about it that just brings me to a place of love and as we bring this beautiful evening to a close I love roomie as you know and I love Hafiz these two great middle eastern Poets the great haes said even

after all this time the Sun never says to the Earth you owe me just think what a love like that can do it lights up the whole world this is the kind of love that we call Divine love it's at the top of the ladder the rungs of the ladder lead us to this place of divine love and when we get it and we are motivated by our desire to serve and reach to Others you will know the god that is within you you'll transcend this ego the Great rendor a bowl a man who lived

in a in India back in the 192s who wrote a collection of poetry called the gangel spoke of the ego the ego is the part of us that is the false self as the part of us that has left our connection to God he said it this way he said I went out alone on my way to my trist but who is this me in the dark I step aside to avoid his presence but I escape him not he makes the dust rise from the earth with his Swagger he adds his loud voice to every

word I utter he is my own little self my Lord he knows no shame but I this is the eye I've been speaking about all night but I am ashamed to come to thy door in his company it's the shedding of the ego it's that knowing within each and every one of us there's this peaceful Tahiti that's the way Melville put wrote about it in Moby Dick for as this Appalling ocean surrounds the burdent land man so in the soul of man lies one insular Tahiti full of peace and joy but accompanied by all of

the fears of a half-lived life the half-lived life is the life that keeps you away from the I am presence that is always with you and animates everything single aspect of your life and roomie said it this way it's called where is He I tried to find him on the Christian cross but he was not there I went to the Temple of the Hindus and to the old pagodas but I could not find a trace of him anywhere I searched on the mountains and in The Valleys but neither in the Heights nor in the depths

was I able to find him I went to the cabba in Mecca but he was not there either I questioned the scholars and the philosophers but he was beyond their Understanding I then looked into my heart and it was there where he dwelt and I saw him he was nowhere else to be found it's in you each and every one of you and if you saw my PBS special I ended it with a treehouse we had one built just for that special and it's my all-time favorite poem by ha he says and the words to

this are so Profound light will someday split you open even if your life is now a cage for a Divine seed the crown of Destiny is hidden and sown on an ancient fertile plane that you hold the title to think of that the crown of Destiny is hidden and sewn on an ancient fertile plane that you hold the title to love will surely bust you wide open into an unfettered blooming new Galaxy even if your mind is Now a spoiled mule a lifegiving Radiance will come the friend's gratuiti will come oh look again within yourself

for I know you were once the elegant host to all the marbles in creation from a sacred crevice in your body a bow Rises each night and shoots your soul into God behold the beautiful drunk singing one from the lunar vantage point of love he is conducting the Affairs of the whole Universe while throwing wild parties in a treehouse on a limb in your heart in your heart you hold the keys to that where you came from infinite intelligence where you go back to infinite intelligence here limited because you have been conditioned to believe in

your ordinariness tonight in the last five Minutes program your subconscious mind to act as if what it is that you would like to create is already here when you awaken after marinating for eight hours in that Consciousness the universal subconscious mind which controls all things will respond to what you have placed in there if you placed in there things are bad things are terrible things don't work out for me then that's what it will offer you experiences that match up to that Consciousness if on the Other hand you place into your imagination what it is

that you feel is already manifested for you the universal subconscious mind God will offer you experiences that match up to that it's just a game called the match game patang said it this way when you are inspired by some great purpose some extraordinary project all of your thoughts break their bonds your mind transcends limitations your Consciousness expands in every Direction and you find yourself in a new and a great and a wonderful world and then he said dormant forces es faculties and talents come alive and you discover yourself to be a greater person by far

than you ever dreamed yourself to be you discover yourself to be God or as roomie finally concluded you who seek God apart apart That which you seek Thou Art Thou Art if you want to see the beloved's face polish the mirror and gaze into that space that's where you'll find your I am presence because in every moment of your life I promise you you have this choice I know it to be true I've Liv it and I've written about it you can either be a Host to God or a hostage to Your Ego it's your

call I love you good night God bless you namaste
