The Power of Intention: Learning to Co-Create Your World Your Way
Wayne W. Dyer
Rating: 4.0/5 Stars
Rank: 183
After years of spiritual study and reflection, inspirational speaker and
bestselling author Wayne Dyer has emerged a highly esteemed teacher.
His
current message about tapping into the power of intention may sound like
good old positive thinking: just stay focused on what you want, rather
than focusing on the lack of having what you want.
But the teaching here
goes deeper than just controlling thoughts (although he does acknowledge
that thought control is a surprisingly challenging and significant
endeavor).
This book might help readers land a better job, but it's more
relevant for those who are ready to detach from an ego-driven life filled
with quick fixes of happiness and step into a more authentic, joyful, and
spiritually fulfilling life.
His core teachings speak to tapping into a
universal source of energy that can also be called the "power of
intention." He calls people who are consciously co-creating with this
energy source "connectors" and describes them as "individuals who have
made themselves available for success...They don't say With my luck
things won't work out. Instead, youre more likely to hear
something like, I intend to create this and I know it will work
out." Connectors are also committed to Dyer's "seven faces of
intention"--creativity, kindness, love, beauty, expansion, abundance and
receptivity, which he speaks to throughout the book.
Each chapter
concludes with five suggestions for becoming stronger connectors, such as
how to monitor one's inner speech or shift out of low-energy beliefs.
Some
criticize Dyer for not giving credit to other teachers who offer this same
message, especially Jerry and Esther Hicks (A New Beginning I) and
even Ralph Waldo Emerson. It's impossible to know whether this was a
deliberate omission, but it is obvious that Dyer has tapped into a growing
conversation about co-creating with "source." Other leading-edge voices in
this conversation include Eckhart Tolle (The Power of Now), Shakti
Gawain (Creative Visualization ) and Lynn Grabhorn (Excuse Me,
Your Life is Waiting).
