Excuses Be Gone! A Massive Dose of Inspiration from Dr. Wayne Dyer on PBS

I watched a PBS televion show last night that inspired me so greatly that I wanted to share it with all my readers. And no, I’m not being paid to say this.
Actually, it was my husband who had discovered Dr. Wayne Dyer and was so enthusiastic about what he had heard, that he urged me to listen.
I was skeptical at first– I thought, yeah, here’s another motivational speaker who points out the obvious, and then charges you $350 for “the program,” which usually consists of some DVDs and and a workbook. These are filthy rich guys who have definitely figured out how to get a lot of money out of people who are hungry for an intensely deep sounding message that will solve all life’s problems. But, I listened…
…I loved the message. And whether you are a skeptic, or someone who is searching for inspiration, I believe that time spent listening to a postitive, intelligent, motivational speaker, is time well spent, never time wasted, and often times, it is life changing.
I want to be careful here, and not sound like I’m trying to sell you anything. In posting this, I feel like one of those people who “try” to sound like a random person, randomly posting about this “great new diet” or “dating website” that they found, but we really know they are being paid to say this stuff. Im not, I just found this guy to be really really inspiring, and I wanted to suggest that you watch this PBS special. I think you’ll be glad you did……………………
I’m going to re post, from Dr Wayne Dyer’s Blog, a chunk of the explanation of what he’s talking about. But what I really encourage you to do, is find his special on you local PBS station, and listen to him talk. Thats where the real motivation lies…Namaste.

In his PBS special and the Excuses Begone! book, Dr. Dyer also discusses the research of two of his colleagues, Dr. Bruce Lipton and Richard Brodie, to help us challenge our excuses and embrace new beliefs.

The Biology of Belief by Bruce H. Lipton, Ph.D is a groundbreaking work in the field of new biology, and it will forever change how you think about thinking. Through the research of Dr. Lipton and other leading-edge scientists, stunning new discoveries have been made about the interaction between your mind and body and the processes by which cells receive information. It shows that genes and DNA do not control our biology, that instead DNA is controlled by signals from outside the cell, including the energetic messages emanating from our thoughts. Using simple language, illustrations, humor, and everyday examples, he demonstrates how the new science of Epigenetics is revolutionizing our understanding of the link between mind and matter and the profound effects it has on our personal lives and the collective life of our species.

“I encourage you to immerse yourself in The Biology of Belief. You’ll be inspired to reset your mind to the possibility that your beliefs carry far more weight than you realized in determining what you can do, what you’ll undertake, and how far you’re capable of going.” —Dr. Wayne Dyer

In addition to our genetic makeup, the other big excuse that most of us use to justify unhappiness, poor health, and lack of success is the family and cultural conditioning we’ve been programmed with. To that end, there’s a fascinating area of inquiry known as memetics, which deals with the mind and is analogous to the relationship of genetics to the body.

Virus of the Mind by Richard Brodie is the first popular book devoted to the science of memetics, a controversial new field that transcends psychology, biology, anthropology, and cognitive science. Memetics is the science of memes, the invisible but very real DNA of human society. According to Brodie, it’s “a thought, belief, or attitude in your mind that can spread to and from other people’s minds.” In Virus of the Mind, Richard Brodie carefully builds on the work of scientists Richard Dawkins, Douglas Hofstadter, Daniel Dennett, and others who have become fascinated with memes and their potential impact on our lives.

“Your beliefs have made these memes seem like second nature to you. While excuses are just thoughts or beliefs, you are the decider of what you ultimately store away as your guide to life.” —Dr. Wayne Dyer
