“Authentic wisdom is the ability to monitor yourself at all times to determine your relative state of weakness or strength, and to shift out of those thoughts that weaken you.” Wayne Dyer, 10 Secrets for Success and Inner Peace
I was reflecting on authenticity and that as I am out and about or busy with my work that the love that I seek is not really Love… but that it is a state of consciousness in my mind and that it really is based on body sensations and notions, however subtle, that are not true and wholesome like the ideal of love. True love does not come and go and it cannot be found in the world and as I stayed with this, with the stillness, I knew love cannot be found one moment and then lost in another. This presence with Love is timeless, without objects and it might be characterized, although there are no properties in the stillness, I’m saying it is a Self-knowing, Self-recognizing peaceful and serene consciousness of I know this awareness.. a consciousness I recall the experience of as like I’d been in a deep sleep and it is refreshing like a deep object-less sleep.
After he was diagnosed with leukemia, Wayne Dyer decided to have an unconventional surgery with healer John of God. The twist? John of God was in Brazil; Wayne was in Maui. Watch as he describes the surgery and how he felt immediately thereafter:
How did Wayne feel after his “sutures” were removed?
Plus, watch to find out how he’s said he was feeling afterward:
.
“… everything that is fear cannot be love…
everything that is love cannot be fear…”
He embraced the mysterious ways of spiritual blessings from love. Stories like Dyer and others give me pause… love is of God… incomprehensible and yet, perfectly wonderful. This man and his work is of love.
Seek Inner Peace
Wayne Dyer’s “10 Principles for Success and Inner Peace” work explores basic principles for changing one’s outlook on life. The principles for success and inner peace is a simple, honest guide to living happily.
I previously posted all ten principles on my blog. Here is a link to each of the posts.
#1Have a Mind That Is Open to Everything and Attached to Nothing An open mind allows you to explore and create and grow. In all of your relationships, if you can love someone enough to allow them to be exactly what they choose to be without any expectations or attachments from you, you’ll know true peace in your lifetime.
#2You can’t give away what you don’t have
Think of the people you know who give love in response to negative energy that’s directed their way. If what you give is self-respect and self-love, the universe will return the love and respect you’ve been radiating. It’s really so simple.
#3There Are No Justified Resentments Be willing to send the higher, faster energies of love, peace, joy, forgiveness, and kindness as your response to whatever comes your way… readily offer forgiveness.
#4Don’t die with your music still in you Find your passion and follow it even if it means marching to your own drumbeat when it’s different from what everyone else or society says you should be doing.
#5Embrace Silence There’s a momentary silence in the space between your thoughts that you can become aware of with practice. In this silent space, you’ll find the peace that you crave in your daily life.

The Coming of the Kingdom – Luke 17:20-21, KJV
“And when he was demanded of the Pharisees, when the kingdom of God should come, he answered them and said, The kingdom of God cometh not with observation: Neither shall they say, Lo here! or, lo there! for, behold, the kingdom of God is within you.”
.
#6Give Up Your Personal History Your past is over! When you’re at peace, you radiate a different kind of energy than when you’re stressed or depressed. Your mediation practice keeps building immunity. The more you achieve peacefulness through meditation, the more your peaceful state impacts those around you.
#7You Can’t Solve a Problem with the Same Mind That Created It In order to solve relationship problems, you need to adopt a different mindset by questioning the negative thought(s) and replacing them with positive ones that are as or more true.
#8Treat Yourself As If You Already Were What You’d Like to Become The more you see yourself as what you’d like to become, the more inspired you are . . . you discover that you’re a greater person than you ever dreamed yourself to be . . . dormant forces that were dead or nonexistent, springing into being and collaborating with you as a result of your becoming inspired and acting as if what you want is already here!
#9Treasure Your Divinity There is no place that God is not. You are energized by the divine intelligence that supports everything and everyone on this planet.

I previously posted all ten principles on my blog. Here is a chance to discover them all from a single list that links to each of the posts. Originally, each post features Dr. Dyers video. Most were since removed from YouTube, but I replaced the missing video with quality, and suitable, other training videos.
We are all “works in progress” we may say. Sometime, we get caught up in the past only to feel there is too little or no energy to live in the present.
The series of lessons is designed to help us move away from the dominance of the past (problems) into opportunities for higher energy and creativity that stem from deepest wisdom and truth (solutions). Understanding of wisdom and truth then is expanding. Your truth is expanding… as you move into the flow of your higher-self truth (living in your solution).

10Wisdom Is Avoiding All Thoughts Which Weaken You Authentic wisdom is the ability to monitor yourself at all times to determine your relative state of weakness or strength, and to shift out of those thoughts that weaken you.

The Tenth Principle: Wisdom Is Avoiding All Thoughts Which Weaken You
Every single thought you have can be assessed in terms of whether it strengthens or weakens you.
Dr. Dyer talks about a simple muscle test where you hold your arm out to the side and think a thought. Have someone else put pressure on your arm. If you think a thought that is true your arm will remain strong. However, if you think a thought that is false your arm will become weak. He also talks about David Hawkins’ book, Power vs.Force and explains that “every thought computes to either weaken or strengthen you.
Authentic wisdom is the ability to monitor yourself at all times to determine your relative state of weakness or strength, and to shift out of those thoughts that weaken you.
Power urges you to live and perform at your own highest level, and it is compassionate.
Thoughts of attack and force actually weaken you . . . In an athletic event, your thoughts are on overpowering your opponent, being better than another, and playing and winning at any cost. The entire muscular structure of your body is actually weakened . . . if in the midst of an athletic event you can keep your thoughts on performing at your highest capacity, on using your inner strength to muster the energy to be as efficient as it’s possible for you to be, and to have great respect for your God-given abilities, you will actually be empowering yourself.
The thought that makes most people the weakest is shame . . . The importance of forgiving yourself cannot be stated strongly enough . . . No amount of guilt will ever undo what’s been done. If your past behavior mobilizes you to learn from your mistakes, this is not guilt; it’s learning from the past. But to wallow in the present moment over your so-called errors is guilt, and it can only take place now. . . . Guilt is released through the empowering thought of love and respect for yourself. You empower yourself with love and respect, letting go of standards of perfection and refusing to use up the precious currency of your life, the now, with thoughts that only continue to frustrate and weaken you.
.
Wayne Dyer – Power of Intention:
.
You have the choice each day to wake up and say, ‘Good morning, God’ or ‘Good God; Morning!’ It’s always a choice . . . to me it’s an insult to this wondrous universe filled with a hundred million miracles to ever allow myself to think thoughts of boredom or apathy . . . When you’re afraid, you’ve moved away from love . . . Remember . . . Every single thought you have can be assessed in terms of whether it strengthens or weakens you.
The most empowering thoughts you can have are those of peace, joy, love, and acceptance . . . these thoughts stem from willingness to allow the world to be as it is . . . All of this is nothing more than a conscious decision on your part to be in charge of your thinking.
Be aware at any given moment in your life that you always have a choice about the thoughts you allow in your mind. No one else can put a thought there. Regardless of the circumstances you find yourself in, there is your choice.
.
.
Choose to replace weakening thoughts with thoughts of a higher spiritual frequency . . . Your mind is yours to control. You are the creator and selector of your thoughts. You can change them at will. It is your God-given inheritance, your corner of freedom that no one can take away. No one can have control of your thoughts without your consent. So choose to avoid thoughts that weaken you, and you will know true wisdom. It is your choice!

The Fourth Principle: Don’t die with your music still in you
.
“Be enthusiastic about all that you do . . . enthusiasm literally means ‘the God (enthos) within (iasm).’“
.
Find your passion and follow it even if it means marching to your own drumbeat when it’s different from what everyone else or society says you should be doing.
Your left brain calculates, figures things out, analyzes, and comes up with the most logical choices for you. It thinks, thinks, thinks . . . Your right brain represents your intuitive side. This is the part of you that goes beyond reason and analysis. It’s the part of you that feels things, that’s sensitive to love, that’s emotional about what’s important to you . . . Your left brain can analyze it, while your right brain lets you feel it . . . there are times when what you feel will supersede what you know.
Your right brain will always lead you passionately to your purpose . . . Your intuitive inner voice keeps urging you to play the music that you hear so that you won’t die with it inside you . . . Listen to your music, and do what you know you have to do to feel whole, to feel complete,and to feel as if you’re fulfilling your destiny. You’ll never be at peace if you don’t get that music out and let it play. Let the world know why you’re here, and do it with passion.

The passion that you feel is God inside of you beckoning you to take the risk and be your own person . . . Rudyard Kipling declares, ‘If you can meet triumph and disaster and treat those two impostors just the same . . . yours is the earth and everything that’s in it.’
Being Passionate Means Taking Risks
You’ll find your passion in what inspires you the most . . . When you’re inspired, you never have to ask about your purpose . . . What is your passion? What stirs your soul and makes you feel like you’re totally in harmony with why you showed up here in the first place?
Know this for certain: Whatever it may be, you can make a living doing it and simultaneously provide a service for others . . . the only thing that will keep you from playing the music you hear and marching to the unique drumbeat you experience within, is fear.
The Myth of Failure
Failure is an illusion. No one ever completely fails. Everything you do produces a result .. . Failure is a judgment. It’s just an opinion. It comes from your fears, which can be eliminated by love. Love for yourself. Love for what you do. Love for others. Love for your planet.
When you have love within you, fear cannot survive . . . ‘Fear knocked at the door. Love answered and no one was there.’
It can be a very scary step — starting to listen to those whispering voices about being more of who we really are. But doing so isn’t half as scary as getting to face our end with the question what if my whole life has been wrong. These were the the dying words of Leo Tolstoy’s character Ivan Illyich in The Death of Ivan Illyich. Wayne Dyer speaks about how this story inspired him to write himself a note, ‘Don’t die with your music still inside you.’
“How well do you see the world? Can you hear or see a thing or a person or an idea for what it truly is? Or does everything you perceive pass through a filter? And does that filter change what you see, like light that is refracted after passing through a lens?” ~ Jeremy Statton

The Third Principle: There Are No Justified Resentments
“Anytime you’re filled with resentment, you’re turning the controls of your emotional life over to others to manipulate . . . Resentments give you an excuse to return to your old ways. This is what got you there in the first place.”
.
Removing blame means never assigning responsibility to anyone for what you’re experiencing . . . you’re willing to say, “I may not understand why . . . but I’m willing to say without guilt or resentment that I own it, I live with, and I am responsible for, having it in my life.”
Why do this? If you take responsibility for having a resentment, then at least you have a chance to also take responsibility for removing it . . . or learning from it.
Be willing to send the higher, faster energies of love, peace, joy, forgiveness, and kindness as your response to whatever comes your way.
You would rather be kind than right
You have no need to make others wrong or to retaliate when you’ve been wronged . . . Your resentments will destroy you. Resentment lower your energy . . . Its too much work… first, you have to get past blame; then you have to work hard to work to send love rather than anger and resentment to someone that you now have a hate about . . . Become a person who refuses to be offended by any one, any thing, or any set of circumstances.
You’ll find your passion in what inspires you.
If you have enough faith in your own beliefs, you’ll find that it’s impossible to be offended by the beliefs and conduct of others.
When you judge another person, you do not define them. You define your-self . . . Stop expecting those who are different to be what you think they should be . . . When you respond with hatred to hate, you’ve become part of the problem, which is hatred, rather than part of the solution, which is love.
Love without resentment — readily offer forgiveness.
Love and forgiveness will inspire you to work at what you are for, rather than what you are against . . . When Mother Teresa was asked to march against the war in Vietnam, she replied, “No, I won’t, but when you have a march for peace, I’ll be there.”
.

.
Notice when your thoughts drift into the lower energy of ridicule or hate or guilt, and change the thought at that very moment if at all possible. If you’re unable to change the thought, then at least love yourself for what you did accomplish — that is, for noticing.
Thoughts of resentment, anger, and hatred represent slow, debilitating energies that will dis-em-power you. If you release them, you will know more peace.
Practice forgiveness for two reasons . . . 1) let others know that you no longer wish to be in a state of hostility; and 2) free yourself from the self-defeating energy of resentment.
Resentment is like venom that continues to pour through your system, doing it’s poisonous damage long after being bitten by the snake. It’s not the bite that kills you; it’s the venom.
You can remove the venom by making a decision to let go of resentments.
Send love in some form to those that you feel have wronged you, and notice how much better you feel in time — give it the time it deserves — give it until the resentment is lifted; removed; gone.
How much more peace you will have . . . there are no justified resentments if you wish to enjoy inner peace and maximize your success in life.

The Second Principle: You can’t give away what you don’t have
.
“Be enthusiastic about all that you do . . .
enthusiasm literally means
‘the God (enthos) within (iasm).'”
.
Think of the people you know who give love in response to negative energy that’s directed their way. There aren’t many people who respond lovingly in that situation. The ones who do are able to because they have love to give away. They know that it’s impossible to give away what they don’t have, and they’ve gone that extra mile to acquire what it is that they want to both attract and give away.
If love and joy are what you want to give and receive, then begin by taking stock. What have you got to give away? What are you giving out to the universe, and thus, what are you attracting? Remember that you can’t give away what you don’t have, but you can change your life by changing what’s going on inside. When you have love within you, fear cannot survive . . . ‘Fear knocked at the door. Love answered and no one was there.’
If what you give is self-respect and self-love, the universe will return the love and respect you’ve been radiating. It’s really so simple. As the Beatles said: “The love you take is equal to the love you make.”

Low energy attracts low energy. Low energy thoughts, such as anger, hate, shame, guilt, and fear, weaken you. And they attract more of the same. By changing your inner thoughts to the higher frequencies of love, harmony, kindness, peace, and joy, you’ll attract more of the same, and you’ll have those higher energies to give away.
The Love Equation
To begin to change what’s inside you, become more loving toward yourself. In your thoughts, cultivate an inner voice and attitude that’s 100 percent on your team. Imagine an inner self that only supports and loves you. You might schedule a certain time of day when that’s the only thought that you allow yourself to pay attention to. Gradually this loving attitude will extend to other people. You’ll begin to receive this energy back and ultimately be able to send thoughts of love and joy to everyone and everything in your world.
Make a pact to remind yourself often of this secret of not being able to give away anything that you don’t have. Then work on your personal program of self-love, self-respect, and self-empowerment, and create a huge inventory of what you wish to give away.
