OceanofPDF .comTHE BEGINNING
I have chosen to introduce this book by relating several experiences that
have touched my life and reflect an appreciation of the essential messages
you will read about in Wishes Fulfilled. These meaningful life events
occurred during  the creation of this book, and contain elements of syner gy
and synchronicit y that I find very exciting and promising. I’m offering what
I consid er to be a program that guarantees you the ability to manifest into
your life all that you desire, as long as what you desire remains aligned with
your Source of being. In my everyday life, while I was writing the
manuscript for this book, I was blessed to experience firsthan d how this
process works. I’ve chosen to share these miraculous occurrences in a very
personal way . As I begin my eighth decade here on planet Earth, I find myself looking
back at the more  notable influences in my life that seemed to just show up. From this distance, I can see the impact they had in reversing the ego-
dominated direction my life was taking at those earlier times. When these
exceptional signal events or people materialized in my past, I was unable,
as most of us are unable at the time, to access the larger perspec tive of what
was happening. Now , from this perspective of looking back and writing
about how to live a wishes fulfilled life from a spiritual vantage point, I see
those events as the pieces of a puzzle in a grand tapestry that is awe
inspiring and very meaningful to me today . Saint Francis
One person who showed up in my life was a man who lived back in the
13th century and is now known as Saint Francis of Assisi. I wasn’ t raised in
any particular religious faith, probably because of being moved around to
different foster homes during my childhood. I had no knowledge of
Catholicism and was never exposed to any of the saints or their teachings. But for some mysterious (but much less mysterious today) reason, thismonk who lived  such an inspir ing, Christ-conscious life was to be one of
the truly most portentous and impactful beings to ever cross my life path. Saint Francis’ s influence first appeared in my life in a large, beautifully
framed print of the entire “Prayer of Saint Francis,” which was given to me
by someone at a lecture more than 25 years ago. The messages of the prayer
resonated with me profoundly and I loved how it appeared, so I hung it in a
hallway that led to my children’ s bedrooms. I must have walked by that
prayer at least 10,000 times in the decade that it hung there. Often I’d
pause, read a few lines, and contemplate the magic in the words: Wher e
there is hatred, let me sow love and, Wher e there is darkness, let me bring
light. These words seemed more like a technology than a prayer . I loved
thinking that hatred could grow into love, and darkness could be
illuminated—not by asking God to do it, but by being  love and light. It
seemed to promise that we humans had the ability to literally change
suffering and pain by transforming ourselves, and I enjoyed contemplating
that achievement. But, from this vantage point, I can see that I wasn’ t yet
ready to live Saint Francis’ s message, or even write it in the way that I’ve
succeeded with this book. Nevertheless, Francesco di Pietro di Bernardone (1181–1226) had come
into my life, and his influence  slowly began to engulf me as the years
passed. I was persuaded to go to Assisi in the 1990s, and while there I felt
in some unexplainable way I was home. I walked in the fields where
Francesco walke d; I meditated in the same little chapel where he prayed. I
stood at his tomb mesmerized by the overwhelming feeling in my body that
I was one with this man who had lived 800-plus years before my own birth. I began to read about Francesco  and was extremely moved by his burning
desire to fulfill his own dharma alongside his determination not to let
anything impede his dream. I too have felt that inner call to do the work
I’ve done all these years. I too have had periods of being off the path, and
always that inner voice bringing me back to writing and living each day—to
my Divine mission. About a decade ago I knew I was going to write a book titled There’s a
Spiritual Solution to Every Problem , but I was unclear about how to
organize this undertaking. In a deep meditation I heard a strong voice say,
Base it on the “Prayer of Saint Francis” that hangs on the wall in yourhome. It was a moment of such clarity and pure vision that I felt as if the
book was already written. All I had to do was let myself “be an instrument
of thy peace.”
I returned again to Assisi and had another miraculous experience. I
experienced a healing in my body that to this day remains a mystery to me
and my medical doctor friends as well. (I related the story of this healing
and my vision of Saint Francis in my movie, The Shift. ) Once again this
13th-century monk had transf ormed my life by appearing to me and
showing me that there are no limits to what can take place when one is
living from a God-realized perspective. I went on to write the book effortlessly , after taking copious notes on my
second visit to Assisi. Furthermo re, the subject matter of There’s a Spiritual
Solution to Every Problem  became  a public television special, and millions
of people had the teachings of Saint Francis brought into their homes
because of my calling to write  about these profoundly life-transforming
truths. Years ago I found myself drawn to the fictional re-creation of the life of
Saint Francis of Assisi, written by one of the greatest writers of our time,
Nikos Kazantzakis. And to this day I still read from this amazing novel
(Saint Francis ) regular ly and always find myself moved to tears and higher
consciousness by its contents. About a year ago I had another strong calling during a deep meditation to
take a group of people to three spiritual cities in Europe: Lourde s in France;
Medjugorje in Bosnia-Herzego vina; and, of course, Assisi in Italy. We
called this journey “Experiencin g the Miraculous,” and 162 people from all
over the globe signed on to visit these holy places where genui ne miracles
have taken place in the 13th, 19th, and 20th centuries. I offered a two-hour
lecture in each of these remarkable places, and in our opening night
gathering in Assisi, I told everyone that we were truly fulfilling the vision
of Saint Francis. His objective was to bring Christ-conscious awareness to
the entire world, one parish, one city, one country at a time. On this trip we
had people from every continent, representing all age-groups from
teenagers to octogenarians. All professions, all religious persuasions, all
with the same ideas—to assist our world in being one that is populated by
people who desire to “make me an instrument of thy peace,” and thus create
such a world from our deepest wishes desiring to be fulfilled.On our second day in Assisi, on my third visit to this Divine city, all 162
people gathered in an ancient church built hundreds of years  ago when
Francesco lived there and began  the Franciscan order . As my two-hour talk
was winding down in this holy building, something happened to me that I
have never experienced in almost four decades of public lectures. I felt
something take over my body , and I was rendered speechless. I was doing a
reading from Kazantzakis’ s Saint Francis , and at the end I simply froze. My
body wouldn’ t move. I broke into almost furious sobbing, and the entire
audience stood up and stretched  out their hands to me in silenc e. Everyone
knew that a truly metaphysical happening was transpiring. (The entire trip
was filmed, including this and two other lectures. You can see it all for
yourself if you so desire by viewing the Experiencing the Miraculous  4-
DVD set that is produced by Hay House.) Many photographs were taken of me speaking beneath a portrait of Jesus
Christ in the church, and I have included one in the photo insert  so that you
might view the very large orb that made its appearance at that transfixing
lecture in the holy church in Assisi. You will learn more about these orbs
later in this book. What I can say with certainty is that I once again felt in my body the
power of Saint Francis. I experienced him, not only by his words and not
only around me, but in me— as me—while speaking to those 162 people
whom I feel were a catalytic group gathered for the purpose of fulfilling a
collective dharm a, originating in a thought in my imagination and now an
active force for good in our world. Looking back at my life, at the events
that brought Saint Francis into my life, it seems clear that I didn’ t recognize
the significance of them at the time. I simply did what I felt called to do. And I must say that Francesco didn’ t just come into my life with an
occasional message to prompt my own spiritual awakening, he actually took
it over and changed the course that my life was taking at the time—he lived
in me most of the time. I am going to leave Saint Francis for a moment and relate the presence of
another luminous being who arrived in my life about six years ago. Lao-tzuBack in 2005 I became reacquai nted with the ancient spiritual text the Tao
Te Ching, narrated some 2,500 years ago by the ancient Chinese master
Lao-tzu. Some have called this small book containing 81 short verses the
wisest book ever written. While I had a cursory awareness of the Tao, it was
by no means a significant teaching in my life. Y et I noticed that at the age of
65 I kept reading and receiving messages from the Tao Te Ching, which
translates loosely to the book of living the virtue of the gr eat way . I was familiar with some of the most quoted passages from the text and
had even used them in my previ ously published books, but now in 2005 for
some reason I seemed to be bombarded by them almost on a daily basis. In
a restaurant several lines from the Tao appeared on the menu; I heard more
quotations on a couple of TV shows; in a bookstore a translation was
misplaced on a shelf right next to one of my books; a close friend told me a
story of how he claimed to be a Taoist and the peace that it brought him;
and someone I didn’ t know sent me a card deck containing each of the 81
brief verses, along with a drawing of Lao-tzu sitting on an ox, and the
likeness seemed to speak to me like no drawing had before. Then one morning in my medit ation I felt a strong inner calling to read
the entire T ao Te Ching, and I did so that very day . That evening I called my
publisher and said I’d like to write a brief essay on each of the 81 verses on
how to apply the ancient wisdom of Lao-tzu to today’ s modern world, and
publish it as one volume titled Change Your Thoughts—Change Your Life. From that moment on, I began to feel the same relationship with Lao-tzu as
I had been havin g with Saint Francis for the previous decade or so. I began
to hear this man speaking to me in my early-morning meditations. I mentioned this on my weekly radio show on HayHouseRadio.com , and
an artist named Magali told me on the air that she’d channeled a likeness of
Lao-tzu that she’d produced in a frenzy of automatic painting, and was
sending to me. The painting arrived via overnight delivery , and I literally
talked to this likeness for the entire year of 2006. Each week I spent four and a half days studying, meditating,
intellectualizing, and analyzing a verse of the Tao Te Ching. On the half
day, after medit ating with the painting of Lao-tzu, I simply let the words
flow onto the page. I spent the entire year of 2006 communing with Lao-
tzu, gazing at his portrait and watching how his eyes seemed to follow meas I moved about my writing space, and most significantly , listening and
letting the words flow through my heart and onto the page. My year of being steeped in the Tao Te Ching was truly life altering. I
learned and practiced the essential messages of humility , living the mystery ,
contentment, simplicity , serenity , and finding God in nature rather than in
an ortho doxy . Lao-tzu became my constant companion, and the Tao Te
Ching not only guided me to a more enlightened way of life, it did so for
millions of others as well. The Public Broadcasting Service (PBS) allowed
me to present the essence of Lao-tzu’ s ancient messages on a pledge show
that aired thousands of times, often in prime time, in every major market in
the United States and Canada. Somehow in some mysterious way known
only by the invisible Tao or the one Divine mind, I became an instrument
for getting these powerful messages out to large numbers of people, 25
centuries after the passing of Lao-tzu. Saint Francis and Lao-tzu and their teachings are still hugely
consequential in my life every day. But more than being these momentous
spiritual teacher s, their appearances in my life have impacte d countless
others, including you as you embark on the reading of this book. Brenda’ s Letter
I am now going to share a remarkable letter that I received a few days ago
as I was prepar ing to write the opening pages of Wishes Fulfilled. Please
read it with an open mind, and then allow me to explain the relevance it has
for you as you begin reading this book. Dear Dr . Wayne ,
Miracles happen . I feel compell ed to share with you an experience I
had very recently , because you were a part of the miracle that I
experienced. Several months ago I heard about your “Experiencing the
Miraculous” tour, and I knew that I had to be a part of it. Life for me
is compl icated right now as I go through a great big shift, so for me to
work out the logistics of going on the European tour was likely to take
a miracl e, but I was open to anything. I stated my intention out loud. Isaid, “I intend to experience the miraculous with Dr. Wayne,” and
then I left it to God to come up with the hows. A few months passed and my situation was slow to change, so my
trip was not booked. I continu ed to have faith and to know that I
would experience the miraculou s with you even if reality kept saying
“not likely.” In the beginning of April my busy schedule had me
traveling with my 14-year -old daughter , Emily , to Kelowna, B.C., for
her singing festival. It is an eight-hour drive from wher e I live, but she
is very passionate about opera, so giving her the opportunity to go to
Kelowna to work with some experts was certainly my pleasur e. My
parents happen to live there, too, so I called them to say we were
coming. I talked  to Mom for a few minutes, told her when we would be
arriving, and chatted about this and that when I heard Dad mum bling
something in the backgr ound. Mom interpr eted for me: “Your Dad
says Dr. Wayne Dyer will be in Vernon Tuesday night if you want to go
see him.” Well, after I picked the phone (and myself) off of the floor, I
asked Dad if he would be my date, and I went online and bought
tickets. Needless to say, I was thrilled that God would be so kind as to
bring you to me instead of getting me to Eur ope. The night of your lectur e came , and I eagerly sat in the 14th row. When you walked onstage and started to talk, something weird
happened. It had happened once  befor e when I saw a young boy sing
“Ave Maria,” and a huge halo of light appear ed around him. At first I
had thought I was getting a migraine, but the light was only around
the young boy. That same light was surrounding you. No matter wher e
you moved on the stage, the light followed you, and only you. I
thought it might be the stage lights or the ambient atmospher e in the
arena, but ther e was no halo ar ound the lady who intr oduced you. Then something even stranger happened. Dr. Wayne, you were
talking about Saint Francis and befor e my very eyes, you transformed. Your body was clad in a long robe and your featur es transformed so
that you were Saint Francis of Assisi. It lasted for only a moment, but
it was powerful, emotional, and very , very r eal. But then something even stranger happened. You began to talk
about Lao-tzu, and you transformed into him! A long braid taileddown your back, and I could see your face completely transform into
Lao-tzu. Again, it only lasted for a moment, but the experience will
last with me for ever. At intermission,  Dad went to the restroom and I stood up to stretch
my legs (and dry my eyes). I felt a warm hand fill mine and I looked
down to see a little lady, very old and with a wonderful smile, and she
was urging me to sit beside her. I sat, and she stared straight into my
eyes. She told me that she kept staring at me because I was glowing
with light and she felt like she was watching an angel. I was transfixed
by her eyes, thinking that I knew her somehow because I recognized
her twinkly green eyes. She and I talked, at times saying the same
thing at the same time. Things like “We are all the same” and “Ther e
is only love” and other deeply spiritual things. It felt like a dr eam, and
befor e we knew it you were onstage again, creating your magic. I
decided I needed to perpetuate contact with her and would get her
name and number after the show. Despite my good intentions, when
the show  ended  and we got up to leave, she had disappear ed. This
surprised me because she had been sitting two seats away from me
and I never saw her leave. Dad and I left, and as I was backing the car up in the parking lot I
caught sight of my own eyes in the rearview mirror. And that’s when I
realized wher e I had seen those twinkly gr een eyes befor e.
Impossible? Maybe … not. I have no explanation for any of the
things I experien ced that night, but every day I give thanks that I was
able to “experience the miracul ous” with Dr. Wayne in such a unique
and lovely way . Namaste ,
Brenda Babinski
If you are wondering about her “twinkly green eyes” reference, it makes
perfect sense to me because I readily recall Marcelene, the mother of seven
of my children,  telling me of her experience giving birth to her firstborn
son, Shane. In the hospital she was struggling in labor and didn’t wish to
use anesthesia. A nurse with distinct red hair came to her side, wiped her
brow , spoke soothingly and lovingly to her of how to breathe, and stayed
with her throughout the entire birth process. When she inquired the next dayabout this wonderfully helpful nurse and how she could properl y thank her,
she was told that no one of that description had ever worked in that hospital. Angelic guidance—perhaps. And Brenda’ s encounter with her very old
little lady may also have been an encounter with her highest self (see
Chapter Three ). I include  Brenda ’s letter here in the beginning to give you a sense of what
is possib le when  you begin to assume the feeling of a wish fulfilled, as I
detail in Chapter Six. My first thought upon reading Brenda’ s words came
directly from my ego, which declared, You were probably Lao-tzu and then
Saint Francis in two of your previous lives, and why not. Look how
important you are and all that you are doing to make this a more spiritually
awakened place. Then I talked by telephone with author Anita Moorjani in
Hong Kong and read her the letter , and she quickly put my ego-driven
thoughts to rest. She said that her experience of being on the “other side”
was perfectly clear on one thing : Everything is happening at once. There is
no past or future, only one and only now. And that the closest she could
come to this idea was that these are all parallel lives. Now I know how perplexing it is to contemplate this idea of no past, no
future, and no linear consciousness, especially since the brain (which is the
only thing we have to do this contemplating with) is in a body that is linear
and did have a beginning and will have an end. It is simply one of the great
mysteries, this idea of everythin g happening at once, yet in my dream state
and occasionall y in deep meditation I have had a glimp se of this
nonlinearity . I urge you to read Anita’ s book, Dying to Be Me, to gain
perhaps a bit more understanding of how the now/oneness appeared to her
as she embarked upon her healing journey away from a certain death
prognosis. As you read Wishes Fulfilled  I encourage you to take notice of the
importance of being able to feel in your body what you desire to manifest. Pay particular attention to what it means to know  within that you are truly a
Divine being here in the material world of ours on Earth. I repeatedly
emphasize, in the pages that follow, the importance of your imagination in
creating a wishes fulfilled life. But your imagination is strictly a domainthat’s controlled by your thinking processes. Once you place a thought into
your imagination about who you want to become, I encourage  you to live
from that end, as if it had already materialized into the physical realm. And this is precisely what I have been doing with the teachings of both
Saint Francis and Lao-tzu for many years: living their messages
intellectually; writing about them, lecturing on them, analyzing them,
interpreting them—all in my imagination. But now at this time in my life, I
have gone beyo nd my intellect when it comes to the teachings of these
Divine masters. When I appeared onstage that evening in Vernon, B.C., and
when I spoke to that audience in Assisi and felt myself overwhe lmed by the
presence of Saint Francis, I was feeling  them in my body , living their
messages as if they were me—or , in other words, assuming the feeling of
the wish to know their truths as already fulfilled. And when you are able to
passionately feel whatever it is that you wish to have or become, as long as
it is aligned with your highest self—that is, God—you become it and it
becomes you. When I teach these profound  messages, they are way beyond an
intellectual exercise. I feel them , and this is what Brenda Babinski observed
in those fleeting  moments while I was onstage. Imagine it; live as if it were
your reality; allow no detractors; but, most important, assume the feeling of
it, and you will merge with it and it will merge with you so that it is no
longer a duality—it is you becoming one with what you desire. That same evening Brenda came to see me, as I sat onstage and signed
books, the entire hockey arena  was filled with orbs as if to confirm the
conver gence of the truths of both Saint Francis and Lao-tzu as I assumed
the feeling of these spiritual truths in the core of my being. (See photo
insert.) Those orbs also appeared in photographs at the churc h in Assisi
where I felt in my body the presence of Saint Francis as I stood and spoke
where he had lived and spoken. (Again, see photo insert.) I do not believe
that my being seen by an audie nce member as actually transforming into
these great teachers is an indica tion that I might have lived as them many
centuries ago. I know that when you begin to go beyond the intellect and
feel the presence of what you most desire as an already present fact, and
live from it with unabated passion, you merge into it, and come to know the
truth that the laws of the material world do not apply in the presence of the
God-realized.Nicollette
I have chosen to relate one additional story here in the beginning of
Wishes Fulfilled  that brings home the most salient feature of this book. That
is, that there exists within all of us a Divine spark, called the I am that I am,
and when it is kindled and nourished, it is capable of miracle-making at an
astonishing level. In May of 2011 I met a group of women, including a mother and her 20-
year-old daughter , while on a walk along the oceanfront on Maui. Linda, the
mom, recognized me, and we began a brief conversation. As I looked at her
daughter , Nicoll ette, it was obvious that she was suffering from some kind
of facial  paralys is that had disto rted her features—the muscle activity in the
entire left side of her face appe ared to be frozen. Something motivated me
to reach out and touch her face and ask her what was happenin g. And then
began a saga that I have chosen, with permission from both of them, to
relate here in this book to give you a sampling of what is possible when we
use the inherent  power that is a part of our very essence—called the I am
presence—for the fulfillment of our Divinely aligned wishes. I felt called to invite the entire group of women into my home and to talk
to Nicollette about the wishes fulfilled teachings that I was channeling and
writing about each and every day, and had been for several months. I spent
an hour or so with Nicollette while her mother , grandmother , and two of
Linda’ s friends stayed in the background. During this time I felt in my body
that something stupefying and mystical was energizing not only me but the
entire room. At the end of our time together , I insisted that Nicollette spend an hour
with my friend Kate MacKinnon, a craniosacral therapist who was visiting
and offering me CST treatments. I had set up an appointment for myself
with Kate for the following day. I gave my appointment to Nicollette, and
what follows are two descriptions of the event that transpired. The first is
Linda’ s letter to Kate about her understanding of the entire experience. Hi Kate ,
I wanted to tell you that befor e Hawaii, Nicollette did not know of
Wayne Dyer at all. She is a university student consumed with classes,
assignments, work, and parties and has never been to his lectu res orread his books. She still knows very little of him other than she is now
reading The Power of Intention. On Satur day I arrived in Hawaii with my husband, Gord, and son,
Jason. Nicollette  called me from Victoria, B.C., the next day. She said
she had experie nced a weird headache the night befor e, and now her
face was going numb on the left side. She was having difficulty
smiling on one side and was worried. She sent a pictur e of herself
from her phone and we told her to go to the emer gency room now and
get it looked at, for it may be a stroke or something! Nicollette  didn’ t
want to go because she said she had too much schoolwork to do, had
final exams to study for, and didn’ t feel well enough to go. I insisted
we needed a professional assessment. She went and was triaged
immediately thr ough and given a battery of tests. She called me about an hour later and said she was diagnosed with
a very sever e case of Bell’s palsy—cause unknown. They had theories
of causes, but didn’t see the other physical effects of these causes and
so the doctors were stumped  by her condition. She was given
prophylactic antiviral medicatio n and high doses of prednisone. It not
being a life-thr eatening conditio n, they said, “Sorry , this is all we can
do—time will tell,” and she was sent home. Nicollette was beside herself with grief. She called us and was so-o-
o upset. We suggested that if the doctors said it was okay, then she
would come to Hawaii or I’d fly home to be with her. She spent the
next two days seeing differ ent physicians making sure she could
travel. She arrived in Hawaii on T uesday . We could  see that her paralysis was worse when she arrived—it was
definitely progressing. It worsened for several days thereafter . I was in
contact with our doctor at home and sent him another picture of
Nicollette in full paralysis. He told me that based on what he saw in
the photo, it was a sever e case. He told us to be pr epared that ther e’s a
strong possibility that she may only partially recover from this or …
perhaps not at all! Furthermor e, this type of palsy (Ramsay Hunt) can
be quite  painful and may have nasty side effects from the nerve
damage that has been done. At the doctor ’s request, we went to the local drugstor e and
purchased full-c overage eye patches and eye lubrications so her lefteye would not ulcerate, as it was no longer closing. A week or so passed, paralysis  continued, no movement, nor any
taste sensation on her left side of her tongue. Her left eyebr ow nerves
were blown out, eye couldn’ t close, nostril and mouth affected as well. She was having difficulty chewi ng. Nicollette was in a state of stress,
distress, and shooting pain. The universe intervenes—we meet Dr. Wayne Dyer on the
promenade. We spent about an hour with Wayne in his condo. Wayne was totally
focused on Nicollette’ s state of mind and on healing. She was wanting
to heal right now, being told she has the power to heal, but didn’ t
know how to get to the place to tap into that healing. Wayne put his
hands on her face and spoke to her over and over again, the same
words until she got it—I am paralysis-fr ee! My girlfriends in the
backgr ound were crying, my mother awestruck … as we were leaving
his condo, Wayne insisted that Nicollette must, simply must, have a
session with his CST therapist the next day. Since time was an issue,
he gave his appointment to Nicollette. He made the arrangements. Nicollette came into the therapy session with much gratitude and the
new thinking that she will be healed. But she said that one of her
barriers to healing was that she couldn’ t get to a place of completely
“letting go and letting God” because she was in fight-or -flight mode. “How can I get to a state of physical relaxation and heal when I don’t
know how to r elax my body?”
I recall she expressed these concerns to you and you unders tood
what she was saying. You asked her (as Wayne had asked her, too)
what was going  on in her life befor e this had happened. She said,
“Nothing. Every thing’ s fine. I was studying for my final exams in
economics and computer science, and at the same time I needed to
create a paintin g for my art class and write an essay on it. My
roommate is moving out and also I’m anxiously waiting to find out if
I’m going to be accepted to McGill University in Montr eal. Lots on
my plate, but I am handling it.”
You said to her, “Nicollette, that isn’t nothing. That is a lot of
something. We see here how the mind and mind-filled stress can affect
the body . This is the mind/body connection, or rather disconnection.”Once we got back to Vancouver , Nicollette and I met with our family
doctor . He told my daughter that this was indeed a “very moderate”
case. To translate, by his expression and from what he had told me
over the phone in Hawaii, it was actually sever e. Nicollette knew  what
he meant. She knew it was sever e, but it didn’ t bother her beca use as
far as she was concerned, she was healing. Our family docto r then
went on to provide statistics of differ ent levels of recovery and to
prepare us that this type of paralysis can take two years or more to
come back from, if you do come back. We were to schedule another
appointment in four weeks wher e Nicollette would be referr ed to a
neurologist. I can’t say for sure when she actually had visible improvement, for
she went back almost immediately to the University of Victoria to
make up all the work that she had missed while in Hawaii. She went
back with the confidence of simply moving forwar d. I was surprised
that she was leaving us and getting right back into her university life
after what our family doctor had said, and given that she was still
paralyzed. No matter what I thought or what I said, in true Nicollette
conviction, she continued to tell me, “Mom, you don’t get it! Didn’ t
you hear what Wayne said? I am healed and paralysis-fr ee. Didn’ t you
hear me say that, too? What part of that don’t you understand? I am
healed—it’ s just that you and everybody else in this world can’t see it
yet!”
Four weeks later she is paralysis-fr ee. Namaste ,
Linda
The words I am healed  and I am paralysis-fr ee that Nicollette spoke, even
though the physical evidence strongly indicated otherwise, may sound
strange or even absurd to you as you read this. But I assure you they will
make sense as you read Wishes Fulfilled. The second description is Nicollette’ s recollection in a letter to the
craniosacral therapist, Kate MacKinnon. Hi Kate ,Thank you so much for letting my mom know about Dr. Dyer ’s radio
show today. My family and I listened to it this evening, and I am so
grateful that you made it possibl e for all of us to hear those wonderful
things. This is truly, and has been, an amazing experience. I can’t
thank you enough for all that you have done. Initially , at the time of my diagnosis with Bell’s palsy on the first day
of spring , I just could not move the left side of my bottom lip as much
as I could the right side. Four days later I couldn’ t move the entire left
side of my face at all; I couldn’ t even close my left eye and had to tape
it shut every night. I could see my paralysis getting worse every day
no matter how much I though t it would get better . I came to the
conclusion that I had no contr ol over the left side of my face. I was
told that I might not ever recover from this, and if I do it could take
years. I became miserable. I felt br oken. I was suffering. I met Dr. Dyer the day befor e I was leaving Maui. I didn’ t know who
he was, or what  he is about. After Dr. Dyer learned of my condition,
he put his hand over my face and introduced the idea that I have the
power to heal myself. All I have to do is think about how I feel when I
am paralysis-fr ee. I thought about a friend taking a pictur e of me a
year ago and me having no paralysis—I was smiling. It was then
explained that the physical is a representation of what starts out in the
mind, in my imagination, of what I want to be physically . Manifestation and healing begin here. I began to think that if I
changed my thought process and thought only of connecting myself
with the knowing that I am para lysis-fr ee, eventually , the physic al will
reflect my new mind-set. Dr. Dyer then said that he highly
recommended I have a session with you, and he gave me your number . I called you, and with the gener osity and kindness of Dr. Dyer , I had a
session with you the next day . Right after meet ing Dr. Dyer , I had difficulty trying to connect to the
thought of being paralysis-fr ee because it was so prominent to me in
everything I did. I couldn’ t chew properly , taste very well, or
pronounce some words without feeling uncomfortable. My eye was
always dry during the day, and at night I had to tape it shut after
putting this lube in it.I also had so much on my mind. I had two finals in one week’ s time
worth more than 60 percent of my grade, and I had to maintain a
certain GPA to stay in my progra m at the University of Victoria and to
still have  a good chance of getting into McGill University . In addition,
I had to figur e out living accommodations in three weeks. I had so
much to think about, and I felt so uncomfortable in everything I did
because of my paralysis. I was holding on to the stress of it all, still
focusing on the Bell’s palsy . I didn’t want it to have a negative impact
on my life—but it was. The next day I had a session with you. You asked what was going on in my life befor e this happened. I said,
“Nothing. Everything was fine.” I felt I was doing well on my time
management with my studies, keeping up with my assignments in
economics, computer science, and art class. My roommate was
moving out, and I was also. I was anxiously waiting to find out if I
was going to be accepted to McGill University . I knew it seemed like a
lot, but I didn’ t feel the stress of it. I even remember thinking that I
should feel mor e stressed out than I did. You said to me, “Nicollette, that isn’t nothing. That is a lot of
something. We see here how stress hurts the body . This is the
mind/body connection or mor e like disconnection.”
I lay down and the healing began. You started by putting your hands
on my ankles. You were asking my mom some questions about wher e
we are from, etc. It made me feel more comfortable, as this was
something I had never heard of or even imagined I would be doing. I
didn’ t know how to think of the situation. So I started thinking about
how I could make this session as beneficial as possible. I thought
about what Dr. Dyer had said to me the day befor e and what  I had
read in Anita Moorjani’ s near-death-experience article. I constantly
told myself, “I am paralysis-fr ee,” and thought about the pictur e of
me a year ago, smiling. You asked me if I like the ocean,  and I replied, “Yes.” You told me to
listen to the sound of the waves crashing against the sand on the
shore. I remember hearing the calming sound of the waves and
looking up at the white ceiling. Looking at the ceiling, it was almost
as if my body was now numb and I could no longer feel your hands,
which were now touching my legs. When you got to my rib cage on myleft side, you asked me if I had stomach pains. I explained that I have
had extreme pain in the stomach region after every time I ate
something, but I thought it was caused by the medication I had to take
for my Bell’s palsy. However , I finished my medication a week ago,
and I am still having pain there. You focused around my stomac h and
rib cage. I was looking up at the ceiling. I began to feel pressur e right
underneath my rib cage, but was unsur e if I should say some thing. Then you said, “If you feel any pr essur e anywher e, let me know .”
Immediately I felt more pressur e in that spot, so I said so. I was
staring at the ceiling and it began to change colors. You asked  me if
the pain was a shape what shape would it be, and what color . I said it
would be an oval and yellow . You asked if this oval had a name. Nothing came to me. Therefore, you said we can call it yellow  oval,
and asked me if this oval is working with me. I felt like it was working
against me and said that. You said, “That’ s no good.” And I remember
agreeing in my thoughts. You told me to talk to this yellow oval and ask if we can work
together . So I did just that. Then, seconds later, I felt it gone. Almost
as if the oval had burst into a million pieces floating all over my body
and I became one with it. I felt a state of complete relaxation. After
that experience I would say that you helped me realize this contr ol I
have over my body . You helped me jump-start the communi cation
between my mind and my body . I was introduced to the notion of how
my mind and my body ar e one. I remember hearing the waves and repeatedly telling myself, “I am
paralysis-fr ee.” You got to my head. I felt your fingers right at the top
of my spine, at the top of my neck. You kept your hands there for a
while it seemed. Then, I felt my lower back touch the surface of what I
was lying on. I felt as if what was making me feel so uncomforta ble all
this time had left my body . I took a deep breath, and I vividly
remember the air going in so easily . I felt connected to my body as I
could feel the air going in and out so fr eely. You then focused on the left side of my mouth and kept your fingers
on the bottom of my upper left molars for a few minutes. Then you
touched the left side of my face. I felt relaxed, and I had the pictur e of
me smiling in my mind. I opene d myself up to the notion that you aregoing to be the catalyst in my healing process. You asked me for a
word that will help me heal, and what color it would need. I got the
word “feel” and the color of light blue and I r epeated them to you. You asked me to feel your hand on my face, and imagine my face as
a sponge absorbing your energy. I pictur ed this light blue sponge
contracting. I did feel your hand on my face. I saw the sponge in my
mind, and I told myself that “I am paralysis-fr ee.” I was in a state of
complete relaxa tion picturing this sponge as I felt your hand , and
heard the waves of the ocean. I felt one with my body , that I had
contr ol of my body , and that I was smiling paralysis-fr ee. You had your hand on my face for what seemed to be about  five
minutes. However , my concept of time during that session could be
incorr ect. Then you lifted your hand off my face and I opened my eyes. You were looking down at me and asked me how I felt. I can’t
remember my response, although I felt relaxed, and awar e of what
was going on in and around my body . I remember you telling me that I
grind my teeth on my left side of my mouth, and asked me if something
happened to my forehead (which I banged on the roof of my car the
day before coming to Hawaii, as I told you later). I remembe r you
telling me that whatever it is I would normally do to relax I need to do
more of because that is when the healing takes place. The session overall is a blur other than those feelings I descr ibed
above. At the end, I almost expected to be able to physically smile
paralysis-fr ee, but when I couldn’ t, I was a little disappointed. Then
within a matter of minutes after that thought of disappointment had
enter ed my mind, other thoughts poured in—healing thoughts. After
putting on the shoes I took off befor e the session, I noticed a weird
feeling in my body—a physical feeling—something had definitely
changed. I felt a sense of peace. I knew my suffering was over. I
physically was no longer uncomfortable. I felt excited and filled with
energy. I knew I was healing— I knew it. Over the next few weeks, I continued to think about what you had
said about how the healing takes place in relaxation. So, whenever I
felt my senses speaking to me, convincing me that I still have a sever e
case of facial paralysis (like for example when I couldn’ t pronounce
some words properly when speaking to my mom right after thesession), I thought of the light blue sponge, and the feeling of your
hand on my face. Every time I think of that sponge I am brough t back
to that place of total relaxation, with the suffering and uncomfortable
feelings suddenl y lifted from my body . I hear the sound of the waves
overpower what my senses tell me, and all that is left in my mind is
that picture of me smiling. When I left Maui I had an overwhelming
feeling and image of healing. I am paralysis-f ree, I am paraly sis-fr ee,
I am paralysis-fr ee! Nicollette
I was scheduled to give an evening lecture in Canada at the Jubilee
Auditorium in Calgary , Alberta , some ten weeks after my first and only
encounter with Nicollette. Lind a had called me to report that her daughter
was completely paralysis-free, and that this experience had completely
turned her entire life mission around. I called Nicollet te, and she excitedly told me how great she felt to have
learned at the age of 20 that she had this amazing I am presence within her
and that she wanted to tell everyone she encountered about this profound
discovery . I invited her and her mom to come to Calgary and share her
experience with the several thousand people I would be speak ing to. And
indeed she did. In only a few moments Nicollette transfixed the audience, giving real-
world, 3-D evidence of all that I was lecturing about that evening. As she
left the stage to a standing ovation, she handed me a card with two photos
imprinted on it. (See photo inser t.) In the photo of the three of us in Hawaii
(Nicollette, Lind a, and me), the left side of her face is paralyzed. In the
other photo, Nicollette is smiling  in a beautiful dress, paralysis-f ree—with a
distinct orb at her left shoulder! The caption on the card says: A Wish
Fulfilled, Love, Nicollette and Linda. As you continue reading this book, which has been such a miraculous
journey for me, know that I take no credit for any of it. I’m reminded of the
1977 film Oh, God! with Geor ge Burns as God saying something to the
effect that if you want a miracle, you should try to make a fish from scratch. Only the I am presence is so equipped. I give full credit to that presence and urge you to know that it is yours to
access as well. Do it—from scratch!Sending love,
Wayne Dyer

CHANGING  YOUR CONCEPT OF  YOURSELF
“Health, wealth, beauty , and genius ar e not cr eated; they ar e only
manifested by the arrangement of your mind—that is, by your concept of
yourself, and your concept of yourself is all that you accept and consent to
as true.”1
—NEVILLE
There’ s a level of awareness available to you that you are probably
unfamiliar with. It extends upward and transcends the ordinary level of
consciousness that you’re most accustomed to. At this higher plane of
existence, which  you and every human being who has ever lived can access
at will, the fulfil lment of wishes is not only probable—it is guara nteed. This
chapter is simply a preparation for entering into that realm wherein you
have much more say over what comes into your life than you might have
envisioned. After 18 months in relative seclusion, studying, meditating, and literally
experiencing what it’s like to live in this miraculous plane of existence
beyond anythin g that might be labeled “ordinary” or “normal,” I’ve
undertaken this joyous task of writing about having wishes fulfilled. I’ve
seen firsthand how virtually every wish or desire I’ve placed my attention
on has transformed from a mental thought into an objective fact. However , I’m not proposing memorizing an esoteric formula leading to a
theoretical nirvana. My emphasi s throughout this book is that manifestation
is real and that it occu rs when you make a specific decision to change  your
mind about who you are and what is possible for you to achieve within
these parentheses in eternity called your life. I’m inviting you to be receptive  to a radical new idea about yourself. It’s
radical because ever since you left your mother ’s womb, you’ve been
subjected to cultural conditioni ng designed to help you be content with
living a “normal life” at the level of ordinary consciousness, whichgenerally means  accepting whatever life hands you. In many ways you’ve
been programmed to believe that you do not possess the wisdom or ability
to manifest the fulfillment of your wishes and desires. I am saying as clearly as I know how to say it in these opening pages:
There’s a plane of awar eness that you can opt to live at, wher ein you can, if
you are willing to change your concept of yourself as an ordinary being,
find yourself fulfilling any and all wishes that you have for yourself. Throughout this book I’ll explore with you what I’ve studi ed, learned,
internalized, practiced, and, yes, lived  regarding the powers of
manifestation. It begins with changing your concept of yourself. I would like to offer a few words on these two concepts of ordinary and
extraordinary . Ordinary is, well, so ordinary . It means that you do all of the things that
your culture and your family have programmed you to do. It implies that
you fit in, study hard, follow the rules, take care of your obligations, fill out
the forms, pay your taxes, get a job, and do what every law-abiding citizen
does; and then you retire, play with your grandchildren, and ultimately die. I want to emphasize that there is absolutely nothing wron g with this
scenario—it is perfectly fine—b ut if it were completely acceptable for you,
you wouldn’ t be reading this book. Extraordinary encompasses most of ordinary , since we all live in the same
physical world. There will be forms to fill out, rules that demand our
obedience, bills to pay, and family obligations to attend to. But
extraordinary consciousness is associated with your soul, that invisible,
boundaryless energy that looks out from behind your eyeballs and has very
different interests than your ordinary self does. The ideal of your soul, the thing  that it yearns for, is not more knowledge. It is not interested in comparison, nor winning, nor light, nor ownership, nor
even happiness. The ideal of your soul is space, expansion, and immensity ,
and the one thing it needs more than anything else is to be free to expand, to
reach out and to embrace the infinite. Why? Because your soul is infinity
itself. It has no restrictions or limitations—it resists being fenced in—and
when you attempt to contain it with rules and obligations, it is miserable. Your invisible self is extraordinary because it is a fragme nt of the
universal soul, which is infinit e. The part of you that knows you have
greatness, and is stirred by the idea of you expanding and removing any andall limitations, is what I am addressing here in Wishes Fulfilled. This is your
new self-concept, one that is inspired by your soul. So let’s take a look at this idea and then examine what you need to do in
order to make your self-concept  congruent with how you want to live your
life, and the powerful role you can begin to assume as a co-fulfiller of all of
your rational/sensible wishes and desires. What Is Y our Self-Concept? Simply put, your concept of yourself is everything that you believe to be
true. And everything that you believe to be true about yourself has landed
you precisely where you live and breathe every day of your life. Your
beliefs about yourself are like the ingredients in a recipe that you use to
create your self-concept. Those ingredients or beliefs fall into two specific
categories: your outer self-concept  and your inner self-concept. Your Outer Self-Concept
These ingredients include every thing you accept as truth concer ning what
the physical you is capable of. There’ s probably a certain amount of
intellectual acum en that you agree is necessary to your outer self-concept. Smart, perhaps, but not really a genius—more capable in some areas than
others, such as technological knowledge. Maybe you add a measure of
writing ability , but detect more fluency with numbers and mathematical
problem solving than your ability to write prose. Your beliefs about your
outer self may be well seasoned and strong in some areas and almost
hopelessly incapacitated or weak in others. You very likely have a
conceptual framework of just how smart you are and have carried that
belief with you since you were a youngster in elementary school. Your outer concept of yourself includes everything you believe about your
innate and learned talents and abilities. Your beliefs about your clumsiness,
coordination, athleticism, and musical and artistic talents are a partial list of
the ingredients that comprise the recipe of you. These descriptors also apply
to every thing else about your outer self. Your outer self-concept includes
how you view yourself in relationship to health: your immunity to, or
inclination towa rd, illnesses of all descriptions. You know if you are proneto being overweight or addicted to various substances such as sugar ,
caffeine, fat, meat, dairy , and the like. You define yourself as prone to
catching colds or immune to such things, likely to gain weig ht, inclined
toward skin rashes, or predisposed to low energy or high sleep
requirements. The point is that your outer self-concept comprises essentially everything
that you believe your body is capable or incapable of. Given a true/false test
on yours elf, you’d be able to say with certainty , Yes, these things are true
about me. They are the beliefs—the ingredients—that you use to create you. In addition to your intellect, talents, and physical body traits, you spice up
your outer self-conception with your personality traits. You know if you’re
assertive or shy, loud or quiet, pushy or obsequious, fearful or courageous,
daring or frightened—and this is only a partial list of personality descriptors
or spices. These individual qualities are interpreted as truisms defining
yourself and how you function socially . I could continue detailing all of the other ingredients that go into making
your outer self-concept, but I’ve chosen to keep this book short, succinct,
and to the point. At this point I’m simply encouraging you to recognize that
your self-concept contains a myriad of self-descriptors regardin g this thing
that you call your physical body , and that you probably regard them as
absolute truth. Your Inner Self-Concept
This category can be pretty difficult to achieve in optimal proportions in
our culture. Y our inner self-concept involves your beliefs about the invisible
energy and intelligence that is the most significant portion of your being. I’ve often referr ed to your inner world as “the ghost in the machine.” The
machine in my conceptualization is your body and its five sense s, as well as
all of the physic al components that make up your body . The tissue, bones,
rivers of fluids, organs, teeth, brain, and everything else are all the machine. And within this machine is an invisible I that you call mind  or spirit
comprised of thoughts that direct the machine. I once had a conversation with a neurosur geon who was disputing the
presence of this invisible world  by saying that he’d cut into thousands of
bodies and had never seen a soul. I remember his awkward look when Iasked him if he’d ever seen a thought while he was poking around inside a
brain. Obviously there ’s an invisible inner as well as an outer part of your being. You have a conceptualization  of yourself that involves this formless
invisible portion  of your being,  and you have a pretty specific idea about
just how far this inner portion of yourself can take you. You may believe
that your thinking apparatus is pretty phenomenal, though not
understanding exactly what it is—inside or surrounding you—that allows
you to scratch your forehead, or pick up a pencil, or move your feet on a
dance floor , or any of the infinite commands that your mind is capable of
directing all day , every day , and for as long as you are alive. You also have a self-concept about what your inner energetic ghost
cannot  do. Is it capable of thinking  itself out of a serious disease, or is that
just a lot of nonsense? Can your invisible intelligence, your imagination,
perform feats of alchemy? Does your self-concept contain the power to
perform great—or even magical—acts of transformation? Your self-concept is a blend of your beliefs regarding your connection to a
higher power . You believe some thing about the existence or nonexistence of
God. You have various points of view about how far faith can carry you. Whether or not there is anything  within you that you can or cannot rely on
to perform mystical or miraculo us things is seasoned by your beliefs. You
have acquired specific beliefs concerning the power of your mind. You’re
generally confident that you can rely on your invisibleness to do the
ordinary things in life such as remember an unseen list of items stored
somewhere in your memory , and run errands on your way home from work. But what do your beliefs cook up about your ability to create miracles? Is
healing your body , or manifestin g a long-desired soul mate, an ingredient in
your self-concept? Take a moment to examine that unseen list stored away in your mind. Ask
yourself, Wher e is it? How did I put it there? Wher e is the place I’m calling
“ther e”? What powers am I using to recall it? Wher e do these powers come
from? This is the list of ingredients that you use to create your inner self-
concept. You might then want to open up to there being other beliefs or
ingredients that you want to include, and contemplate other ways to season
your life.The fact is that an invisible list involves a catalog of inexplicable miracles
that you take for granted every day. Your inner self-concept tells you what
you believe your mind is capable of, and what it’s incapable of as well. You
know your mind, that invisible ghost in the machine, is unfathomable. But
you also know  that there are certain limits to what it can do. Have you ever considered how you are creating your life with this inner
self-concept’ s list of ingredient s? If it seems interesting to consider some
changes, read on. Changing Y our Concept of Y ourself
If you would like to become a person who has the capacity to have all of
your wishes fulfilled, it will be necessary for you to move to that higher
plane of existen ce where you are a co-creator of your life. This means that
you’ll need to undertake what is often presumed to be the difficult task of
changing your concept of yourself. Recall that your concept of yourself is everything that you believe to be
true about your inner and outer self. Those beliefs have created the life
you’re now living—at what I call an ordinary level of awarenes s. To move
into the extraordinary space that I’m writing about in this book requires you
to chang e what you believe is true. This can be a laborious project and an
undertaking that, in my experien ce, few people are eager or willing to take
on. I am writing this book to give you some very specific guidan ce and help
in doing just that. I’ll be quoting a man by the name of Neville Goddard, who wrote and
spoke to large audiences in America under the solitary name of Neville. A
popular speaker on metaphysical themes from the late ’30s until his death in
1972, Neville authored ten books in which he captured the sheer logic of
creative mind principles. His work has impacted me in a very profound
way; in fact, he’ s been a great mentor to me in the past few years. Neville writes in a style that many might find strenuous to interpret, yet I
find his teaching congruent with much of my earlier writing on
manifestation and co-creation. That being said, Neville’ s teachings add a
dimension that I hadn’ t really contemplated in depth until now. While
studying his book The Power of Awareness , I bega n blend ing many of
Neville’ s teachings with other great thinkers’ ideas, revising and refininghis unique personal theology into a practice that feels to me is meant for the
world we inhabit today . After giving each of my eight children a copy of The Power of Awareness ,
they individually expressed a variation of this: “I love his ideas, Dad, but I
have to read each paragraph over and over and stop to think about what he’s
saying. I know he’s right and it makes perfect sense, but I need it explained
more—in words  that I can understand and apply .” Their comm ents fueled
my desire to share many of Neville’ s ideas, most of which are compatible
with my own, and create a synthesis addressing the power you have to
fulfill your 21st-century wishes. I want to share with you my sense of what this great teacher ’s ideas can
do for you, as they have done for me. I know that Neville wouldn’ t mind
because he freely allowed stude nts and audience members to tape his talks
without charge. His tapes continue to informally spread his message today ,
and I’ve listened to them while preparing to write this book. I feel as a
kindred spirit to Neville, since I too have had the same policy during my
entire speaking career , and have been immersed in the same kinds of
spiritual inquiry as this great teacher who preceded me by a single
generation. Here is what Neville had to say regarding changing your self-concept in
order to elevate your life: “If you refuse to assume the responsi bility of the
incarnation of a new and highe r concept of yourself, then you reject the
means, the only means, wher eby your redemption—that is, the attainment of
your ideal—can be effected.”2
Get this clearly in your head in this first chapter: A highe r conce pt of
yourself involves  taking on new truths and shedding your old views of what
you can achieve. This is the only way you can achieve your desir es. That is
the reaso n I’m stressing this early in this book.
