Wow…it’s been a few weeks since I’ve posted to this blog, but believe me, I haven’t been sitting on my…ahem…laurels. Nosiree! In addition to creating the latest AffirmingSpirit 2008 Autumn (Quarterly) Newsletter, and managing my presentation business, I’ve been living the law of attraction, applying the techniques, and following inspired action when called to do so.
Case in point: A few months ago I began thinking about a book in my library that I had read about 10 years ago. The book is Manifesting Your Destiny by Wayne Dyer.
When I read the book 10 years ago, it didn’t seem to hold any surprises or be terribly impressive, but it did seem to suggest ideas that seemed humanly impossible such as asking for what you want with passion, then forgetting about it and not caring if it comes into physical reality…Yeh, right. At the time, I seriously thought herding cats and training a flea circus would be easier than forgetting about something I truly want!
Anyway, a few months ago I would begin to think of this book out of the blue, and every time I passed the bookshelf it sat on, I felt compelled to pick it up and read it. This is weird because I already have tons of stuff to do, so re-reading a book that didn’t really impress me the first time around seemed odd. Finally, one day, I gave in, and sat down to re-read the book…and was blown away!
First, this was the book where Wayne Dyer switched from writing primarily about psychology (his background) to write about mostly spirituality. In the past year, I learned that Dyer had been profoundly influenced by the teachings of Abraham, but I was unaware of Abraham when I originally read this book. Now, ten years later, and well aware of the teachings of Abraham, I found Dyer’s book completely aligned with those teachings…and therefore, much easier to read.
Secondly, I came to a realization: When I originally read the book 10 years ago, I was not consciously aware enough to understand the depth and importance of what I was reading in that book. Now, however, the words penetrated my psyche and made so much sense.
It’s a good thing that I decided to read that book again. I got so much out of this book the second time around that I simply couldn’t understand, let alone appreciate, the first time. It wasn’t until I read that book that I realized how much I have grown consciously in the past 10 years.
The same is surely true for you…we are all continually growing, evolving beings. Books that didn’t impress you 5 or 10 years ago, may be just what you are ready to receive now. In the spirit of recycling, take a journey through your bookshelf and see if there is something you’d like to revisit. You might be pleasantly surprised to see how much you have grown.

Let me also point out…there is no religious requirement in order for these techniques to work. Despite the look of the book’s cover, it does not advocate one religion over the other. Personally, I am spiritual, not religious. There are as many good attributes about the world’s religions as there are negative attributes. I choose to cut out the middlemen, but you can do what feels best for you.
