I love Wayne Dyer books and have read many of them. But, this book just didn't do it for me. I love the premise of the book where he promotes positive thinking, higher energy levels, and not giving your energy to negative thoughts, since what you give out will come back to you. However, I had difficulty with 3 areas of the book: 1) Evil doesn't exist 2) The fact that Dyer never addresses the concept of free will, and 3) Illness is due to erroneous thinking.First, evil does exist and we see it every day...it's all around us. Denying it's existance is like sticking your head in the sand. Dyer says that evil cannot exist, since God created all things, and God is good, so why would a good God create evil? Well, I think the answer lies in free-will, which brings me to my second point. Although God is good, he also gave us free-will, which means that we are able to choose the path of God (good positive, energy) or something opposite of God, which would be evil. Dyer never addresses free-will in this book even though he continually quotes the bible and other spiritual/religious writings that do in fact address the concept of free-will in depth. How he can quote so many things from these books and yet deny the existance of free-will is beyond me.Finally, Dyer states that illness stems from erroneous thinking. While I do believe that many illness are brought on by negative thinking and stress (I do believe there is a mind/body connection), if you follow Dyer's theory on this than how is it that infants can get ill? Is an infant capable of thinking erroneously when he/she cannot even take care of him/herself? Dyer lightly brushes the surface of the issue regarding children and illnesses, but then totally dismisses the issue and moves on to the next topic without giving us a reason or answer.
I read and loved Wayne Dyer's THERE'S A SPIRITUAL SOLUTION TOEVERY PROBLEM . . . one of the best books I have read in a longtime! . . . he shows how there's a spiritual force available to helpus, regardless of religion or whatever is bothering us (ill health,financial difficulties, etc.) . . . I liked the numerous examples,along with references to the Bible, Koran and many other similarworks . . . in reading this, I felt as if Dyer was talking directly tome . . . his insights into the human condition will certainlyget you thinking.There were many memorable passages . . . my problem is choosing just a few to highlight here . . . but try I must, so here goes:Coming to this awareness of being steadfast in abstaining from harmful thoughts is a potent tool for accessing a spiritual solution to problems involving relationships. When a person is talking to you and you are slipping into the mode of feeling angry about how you are being talked to, you can remind yourself in that instant to abstain from thinking harmful or angry thoughts. I find that it is quite effective to use the following words, first internally, and then I say them out loud. They are, "You're right about that!" Not sarcastically. Without rancor, I simply allow the other person to be right, which is all their ego really wants.Recently, my brother was telling me about all the people he was meeting who has prostate cancer. "It's like an epidemic," he said. "Three guys down the street, two at work, all in the past week or so." My immediate response to him was, "I will not think thoughts of prostate cancer.
