A gift from Dr. Wayne Dyer

This lovely parable is from *"Your Sacred Self"* by Dr. Wayne Dyer.

In a mother’s womb were two babies. One asked the other: “Do you believe in life after delivery? ”The other replied, “Why, of course. There has to be something after delivery. Maybe we are here to prepare ourselves for what we will be later.”

“Nonsense” said the first. “There is no life after delivery. What kind of life would that be?”

The second said, “I don’t know, but there will be more light than here. Maybe we will walk with our legs and eat from our mouths. Maybe we will have other senses that we can’t understand now.”

The first replied, “That is absurd. Walking is impossible. And eating with our mouths? Ridiculous! The umbilical cord supplies nutrition and everything we need. But the umbilical cord is so short. Life after delivery is to be logically excluded.”

The second insisted, “Well I think there is something and maybe it’s different than it is here. Maybe we won’t need this physical cord anymore.”

The first replied, “Nonsense. And moreover if there is life, then why has no one ever come back from there? Delivery is the end of life, and in the after-delivery there is nothing but darkness and silence and oblivion. It takes us nowhere.”

“Well, I don’t know,” said the second, “but certainly we will meet Mother and she will take care of us.”

The first replied “Mother? You actually believe in Mother? That’s laughable. If Mother exists then where is She now?”

The second said, “She is all around us. We are surrounded by her. We are of Her. It is in Her that we live. Without Her this world would not and could not exist.”

Said the first: “Well I don’t see Her, so it is only logical that She doesn’t exist.”

To which the second replied, “Sometimes, when you’re in silence and you focus and listen, you can perceive Her presence, and you can hear Her loving voice, calling down from above.”

A Tribute to Dr. Wayne Dyer

A followed Wayne Dyer for many years and learnt a lot from him. He was one of my favorite teachers. I saw him change and grow over the years, but one thing about him never changed - that was his generosity.
Those who are familiar with his journey know that he wasn't always like that, but he became that early in the process of his growth when he made peace with his addiction and the ending of his first marriage.
The wonderful thing about this man was that he always shared his journey and his growth. He always followed his instinct, his inner guidance and he taught us to do the same.
I feel as if I lived his life with him and grew to know him as friend through his writings. He gave up a tenured teaching position because he didn't feel called to it. He shared his journey with his daughter and the difficult time of worrying over her, and how he finally found unconditional love.
It's a very interesting thing that happens to people who become more and more unconditional and loving - their voice changes.  If you listen to Wayne Dyer's early recording the vibration is so completely different from later in life. You can feel the peace within, especially obvious in his dialogue with Abraham.  I think that his interaction with Abraham was absolutely phenomenal. You could see that he was still looking for answers and so open to asking questions that would quench his thirst.
What an amazing life journey, finding his own self-worth, creating fabulous wealth, healing his body, becoming unconditional in his relationships and leaving behind a legacy that will continue to benefit many.
I only met him once in physical form when he visited Toronto, but now that he is non-physical we play all the time.

There is great love here for you Wayne Dyer. Z
