I first became acquainted with Wayne Dyer many, many years ago.  I was in high school when I read Your Erroneous Zones.  Back then I was very interested in understanding what moves us, what moves through us and makes us the people that we are.  It only seemed natural that I should study psychology in college.  However, after studying psychology for a few years I realized that its field, its scope is very narrow and that there is so much more to us that psychology could not explain.  Religion also could not satisfying my thirst for knowledge because of its inherent limitations.  Therefore, my interests gradually evolved and shifted towards spirituality. 

Then one evening in 2006, I came across Wayne Dyer again.  PBS was broadcasting his special on Inspiration: Your Ultimate Calling.  I really loved and was deeply moved by his words.  When listening to him telling the audience the story of the monarch butterfly I felt how strong his connection to Spirit is and how freely, lovingly and without limitations Spirit flows through him.  During that special Wayne shared one of the most powerful quotes I have ever heard:

When you are inspired by some great purpose, some extraordinary project, all your thoughts break their bonds. Your mind transcends limitations, your consciousness expands in every direction, and you find yourself in a new, great, and wonderful world. Dormant forces, faculties and talents become alive, and you discover yourself to be a greater person by far than you ever dreamed yourself to be. ~ Patanjali

Rediscovering Wayne’s work made me realize that he too has gradually and naturally shifted away from psychology and into spirituality.  We both through our different paths of development have realized that the power of motivation pales in comparison to those moments when we are in spirit, fully in touch with our true identity as part of All That Is and when we understand and trust our unbound ability to create.

Wayne’s words have been a great inspiration for me and have been and continue to be a wonderful encouragement on the path of spiritual growth and a beautiful reminder of my true essence.  I always considered him to me a teacher of mine, until last night when that label took on a new meaning.  I dreamt that in a personal, very friendly and loving one-on-one session Wayne was teaching me how to be a spiritual teacher.  He was teaching me the practical, professional side of being a teacher and being able to handle the demands and the challenges.  I woke up right after the dream feeling how the wisdom of his words has seeped in me and feeling very grateful for him being my teacher.
