I've already mentioned some
of these sources in other posts...
But here I want to mention
the absolutely inspiring spiritual teacher Wayne Dyer. He has written volumes of books on such
topics including the Tao Te Ching, Change Your Thoughts Change Your Life and
The Power of Intention.
I have particularly enjoyed
his PBS specials as well as his audio teachings for his varied spiritual
enlightenment and in finding "a calling." Speaking of the latter, his teachings have been especially instrumental
as I sought my own life's quest years ago.
I listened to his teachings for hours and days and even for years I've
been playing them as the need arises to reinvent and re-associate the meanings
of being (why we are here on this earth and purposeful existence) as he so
eloquently describes as The Shift from the morning to the afternoon of
our lives.
His lectures are deeply
philosophical and enlightening for those that want to evaluate and deem their
lives needing more. For those that are
willing to take the time to seek God and/or a higher power to find what is
missing in life. His lectures get you
to think about life from a higher awareness and a higher consciousness... not
as you knew it, but allowing yourself to be on this wavelength of inner peace
to find out and discover more within yourself.
I have truly been inspired
by his teachings as my own writings have touched upon this general need and
desire to help individuals become more in tune with their greater self. You as the reader or listener of either of
our works shouldn't assume there is or will be a blatant and outright answer to
your problems and/or a solution to your living the life you want to live. His writings, just as in my own will get you
to think deeper. To comb the depths of
your soul into realizing more that you want out of life, and to realizing that
your thinking and behaviors have hindered yourself from getting there.
