Dr. Wayne Dyer's Diagnosis from Parade Magazine...
Q How is motivational guru Dr. Wayne Dyer doing since being diagnosed with cancer?--Joe DeLaigle, Newport News, Va.
A "I don't think of it as cancer," Dyer, 69, says. "It's chronic lymphocytic leukemia, not life-threatening, and it's been a great blessing in my life. We're all infinite spiritual beings having a temporary human experience. Find that within yourself.'"
Wrong...I believe in positive thinking, that you attract those things to you that you focus upon... I also believe that if I step off a cliff...I will fall... I understand that some disagree... They may say:
There are no weeds in my yard...There are no weeds in my yard...There are no weeds in my yard...There are no weeds in my yard...There are no weeds in my yard...Chances are the yard will be overrun with weeds.
Some people will sit and cry softly- about the weeds in their yards...
I guess I am of the school that you see the weeds, pull them and move on...BIBLE VERSE WARNING...
Luke 9:62
Jesus replied, "No one who puts his hand to the plow and looks back is fit for service in the kingdom of God."
Dr Dyer has made a few shekels pumping his books and tapes- so chances are he has a gardener....there are no weeds in his Hawaiian estate.
That or he simply levitates over them...
Sometimes things happen that just don't fit into our plans... getting CLL at age 49 wasn't part of my master plan...
Dr. Dyer does have cancer- Chronic Lymphocritc Leukemia... and fortunately, it appears he has a very mild treatable form...he can "Watch and Wait..." I pray he can do so for many many years. At age 69, he may never need to have treatment...
Others are not so lucky... Ed Bradley, Tom Synder lost their CLL battle. I also see at least one collegue from my forums
per quarter who seem to lose their battle. Their families would disagree with Dr. Dyer's diagnosis about it not being life threatening.
A lot of what
Dr. Dyer and other guru's spout off on are real...and worth following. I have read many of the self help books- the PMA manuals... I agree with many of the truths... especially from the more humble of the authors who acknowledge that the new ideas are not new- but nature's laws... God's laws. If you want to lighten the load of your library- you can find all this in one book- The Bible. Not as sexy and exciting to read...and Jesus will not send you a free copy if you donate to PBS...but the source of the truths none the less.
I believe in God... I believe that sometimes bad things happen to good people---and there is a reason not yet known to us why this may occur. This requires us to have faith in His plan. Not give up, not focus on the negative, and not "wish" it away.
I believe God works through inspiration of our Doctors... New research. New treatments.
BIBLE VERSE WARNING...
Matthew 5:45
that you may be sons of your Father in heaven. He causes his sun to rise on the evil and the good, and sends rain on the righteous and the unrighteous.
My old paster said it well, "Take the best and leave the rest."
I will keep Dr. Dyer in my prayers.
God Bless,
