You know this and you know that you can con- 
nect to this energy in a way that will fulfill the essence of your 
desires. I recommend that you review the second principle in this 
book, and the entire chapter titled “Banish the Doubt” in Your 
Sacred Self; if you want to reinforce this idea. When you have removed the doubt about your ability to mani- 
fest, it will be easy to detach yourself from the outcome and all of 
the details. Your trust in yourself and in the divine energy of the 
universe is all that you will need. Leave your expectations and go about your business. Once you have 
put your aaah meditation out into the universe through the opening 
of the third eye, simply forget about it and get on with the business 
of your daily life. Do not keep looking for reasons to disbelievé your 
ability to attract to yourself what you desire. Practice the patience that God has always displayed toward you 
during your tumultuous times. You will find comfort in the silent 
137 
WAYNE W. DYER 
inner knowing and in your relationship to God. Maintain your daily work and play regime with a new sense of 
peace, originating in your inner knowing alent what is manifesting 
for you. Remain completely detached from the inclination to mea- 
sure and calculate what is and is not showing up for you. In fact, it may take some time after your desires have manifested 
for you to even be aware that they are here! There may be a time 
when you notice that it has already begun to happen and you realize 
that you did not see it right away because you had let go and let God 
handle it for you. This is an indication that you have been able to 
master this principle of patient detachment from outcome. Maintain privacy about your desires. As was stated earlier, sharing 
your manifestation efforts decreases the energy and deflects that 
energy into the ego’s need to gain approval. You want the energy of 
your manifestation to be direct and as pure as possible. Furthermore, 
you want to avoid dissipating the energy that you are projecting by 
preventing it from becoming involved with any ego needs. When you are patiently detached, you have also detached your- 
self from any need to gain approval for your efforts. Of course, you 
may wish ultimately to share the results of your spiritual manifest- 
ing, but while you are incubating this divine experience with God, 
make every effort to keep it a private affair. A need to share it at this 
stage is an indication that you are focused on outcome and are 
attached to the results. Be aware of the cues that your desires are manifesting. Keep in 
mind that the way things will show up in your life is not necessarily 
related to what your rational brain has indicated. Things may begin 
popping into your life that were never there before, and which may 
surprise you as you notice them more and more frequently. 138 
Manifest Your Destiny 
You will also begin to notice more of a connection between your 
thoughts and the object of those thoughts materializing in your life. Things that you used to label coincidences will become more and 
more evident as you practice these principles of manifesting. You 
will see people showing up to help you after you have thought about 
these needed helpers. You will find objects appearing that were in 
your mind, and which you have forgotten about, but now are show- 
ing up more and more. Someone will mention a particular movie or song or some other 
apparently irrelevant item, and you will hear it over and over, or the 
out-of-print movie you had mentioned wanting to see will arrive in 
your video store that very same day. Be aware of what you have been 
thinking about in relationship to what you want to manifest. These 
are cues that will begin to pop up in a multitude of delightful and 
unexpected ways. All of these synchronistic events and happenings are the result of 
beginning to live in a heightened state of awareness. You are con- 
sciously making contact with the universal source of all energy that 
has been below your conscious level before, but is now beginning to 
appear above the surface. Pay close attention to the cues as they sur- 
face, and gently tell yourself, “It’s working. I can see the results and 
I know that they are due to my using these principles and my medi- 
tation practices. I'll continue privately to do what I am doing. a 
Act immediately on the cues that arrive by acknowledging them. When you acknowledge the early signs of arrival of what you wish to 
manifest, you are giving your inner energy a positive charge and rec- 
ognizing the divine universal intelligence. This recognition is essen- 
tial to the continuation of this manifesting process. When you see it starting to show up, give silent thanks and say to 
yourself, “I see the results of my connecting to the universal source. o 
139 
WAYNE W. DYER 
I notice the presence of that particular person who offered to help 
me, and J know he or she was sent to me by God. I give thanks, and 
I will make every attempt to use this manifestation for the good of 
humanity rather than for my own ego gratification.” 
Don’t think of your manifestation as a special favor. The universal 
intelligence that we call God is not an individual personality and it 
will not dispense special favors to you or anyone else. ‘To see mani- 
festation as a favor is to begin the process of bargaining with God 
and believing in your separateness from all other living beings. The 
process of manifesting isa spiritual practice in that it is your recog- 
nition that you and the divine source of all energy are one and the 
same. This oneness has no judgments about anyone being more enti- 
tled to abundance than anyone else. It is everywhere and in all 
things, and it shows up when you, as a localized particle of that 
divine source, recognize your connection and are open to it work- 
ing in your life. While gratitude is such an important part of this consciousness 
that it represents the ninth and final principle of spiritual manifest- 
ing, it is not appreciation for a special favor. The ego thrives on 
making you special and distinct from others and, therefore, more 
deserving of its multitude of demands. The ego would love you to 
think of these manifestations as special favors, because in doing so, 
you would reinforce your separation from that source. Your desires manifest because you are in perfect alignment with 
your source of creation, and because you are not placing any limita- 
tions on what can come into your life. Ignore your ego’s efforts to 
make you think that you are receiving God’s richest blessings in the 
form of having your desires materialize because you are special. Instead, be thankful and use these blessings in the service of oth- 
140 
Manifest Your Destiny 
ers and in deep gratitude for your own spiritual essence. Your iden- 
tification is no longer exclusively with the physical body, and your 
infinite soul is recognized as your true essence. It is this recognition 
that is responsible for your manifestation results, not that you have 
been singled out. Remember again, the universal intelligence called 
God cannot possibly be singled out, since it is everywhere in every- 
thing. View any and all obstacles as lessons, not indications of failure. Keep in mind that you are practicing patience and detachment from 
outcome. When anything appears to be an obstacle, do not use that 
material fact to deny the existence of the universal energy that is 
your essence. Once again, this is the work of the ego, which wants you to 
believe that it, rather than God, is in charge. If the ego can convince 
you that this stuff is all nonsense, and that these obstacles are proof 
positive that God is ignoring you, then you will be back in its influ- 
yACNGe. Everything that shows up in your life is supposed to. This 
includes the falls in your life, which provide you with the energy to 
propel yourself to a higher state of awareness. Manifesting is a higher state of awareness than merely feeling as 
if you are being pushed around by the whims of the environment 
and a boss who is in charge of everything. Each obstacle, however 
difficult, however imposing, is a test for you to keep your faith and 
stay with the inner knowing that has banished all doubt. When things do not appear to be materializing the way you had 
planned, remind yourself that you are infinitely patient and unat- 
tached to any particular schedule. Most of the blessings in your life, 
and in mine, too, were preceded by some falls that we were not 
sure we could manage when they happened. But you did, and I did, 
141 
WAYNE W. DYER 
and I know in my heart that all spiritual advances are generally pre- 
ceded by a fall of some kind. I tend to view those falls with gratitude 
rather than dismay. My knowing about my ability to manifest the essence of my 
desires is so strong that I can maintain my patience and detachment 
from how the details show up, even in the face of what might look 
like insurmountable odds. Remember, there is no timetable when 
you have infinite patience. There is no failure when you are 
detached from how it shows up. It works. Know it, and let the uni- 
verse handle all of the details. Release all judgment from your manifestation practice. The univer- 
sal law is not a dual energy. It does not operate on the same dualism 
that works here on the earth plane. It does not discriminate or 
work on a good/bad, right/wrong basis. There is just one energy 
that permeates all things, and everything is a part of that power. By 
its very nature, the universal law is in balance, therefore whatever 
you desire must also be in harmony with the recognition of this 
divine universal source from which all things receive their life 
energy. This requires you to be willing to suspend your inclination to 
judge that which shows up in your life as right or wrong, good or 
bad, attractive or unattractive and so on. Your judgments halt the 
flow of universal energy into your life and put you at odds with that 
divine power. It is not that you will be punished, it is that your 
recognition will alter the natural flow of that energy into your life. Your ability to manifest depends in large part on your own will- 
ingness to leave behind the collective unconscious—the collective 
judgments that make up the totality of human beliefs. The numer- 
ous judgments of world belief patterns that you are attached to 
inhibit your ability to manifest the desires of your heart. Detaching 
142 
Manifest Your Destiny 
from these beliefs is one of the greatest challenges of your life. You have to leave this collective unconsciousness by suspending 
your judgments and all of those beliefs that the collective conscious- 
ness holds, and step unflinchingly into the world of the unknown. You will probably experience a sense of loss and perhaps a feeling of 
loneliness as you make this step out of judgment. The reward is that 
you will begin to expand your own perceptions and to accept that 
what others believe are their perceptions. They are not necessarily 
the facts as you know them. What the collective consciousness 
believes to be the limits to their abilities you will know as a misper- 
ception. You will not need to be in conflict with this consciousness 
because you will have stepped into a higher vibration wherein there 
are no limits. The physical earth plane has its limits. You, however, 
are now a resident in the universal intelligence that is responsible 
for the existence of that physical earth plane. Make this leap by leav- 
ing behind all judgments and by becoming totally accepting of all | 
that arrives from that unlimited supply of energy. It could be a business card that you find while walking on the 
beach, or it could take the form of a book or a tape recording, or a 
message that was intended for another but is in your mailbox. These can all be cues. Send away all judgments about how anything 
arrives in your life and refuse to assume the collective judgments 
that permeate the beliefs of most of the people you encounter. Harness this universal intelligence by noticing it manifesting regu- 
larly, which is, essentially, in every single event in your life. As you node what arrives and disappears, try to do it without 
judgment and with a feeling of total acceptance, leaving your 
thoughts out of the picture completely. Your mind will want to play 
the judgment game. Remember, here you are feeling as if what you 
want to manifest is already in your life. Your mind will not agree 
143 
WAYNE W. DYER 
with you, and you must learn to suspend your judgments. You 
might say to yourself, “I am wealthy and happy,” and your mind 
counters with, “You are not.” Thus, you ‘have a clash of opposing 
energies: your desire versus your mind, with all of its judgments and 
negativity. This clash is your warning that you are not going to enter the 
kingdom of manifestation. You do not get to become a manifester 
until you have thoroughly discarded the: negativity that you have 
inherited from the collective unconscious. You have to enter a new 
dimension. This is not accomplished by leaving the earth plane, it is 
an inward journey. In that inner world, anything that you can imagine is actually a 
part of you right now. Your proclamation of being wealthy and 
happy, if taken to that inner nonjudgmental world, will lead you to 
feel wealthy and happy. This, in turn, will lead you to begin acting in 
new ways. You will begin to create a new concrete reality of wealth 
and happiness within yourself as you generate a positive attitude 
toward all that you encounter. No judgments, simply maintaining 
an inner feeling of having already manifested whatever it is you 
desire. Remember, the universal law is neutral and everywhere, and is 
unconcerned about whether you receive your heart’s desire. Therefore, you must take to the path of manifestation with enthusi- 
asm and a total absence of judgment. You are going to collect that 
which is already here and belonging to you, with no doubt and only 
a fierce private determination to receive what you are now totally 
aligned with in your inner world of nonjudgmental energy. This law 
does not discriminate. It receives your energy and delivers whatever 
you put into it. You must trust in this energy and be totally free of 
judgment about the method and timing of the delivery. Your mind will attempt to use logic, but manifestation is not log- 
144 
Manifest Your Destiny 
ical. Your mind will try to employ negativity by insisting that you are 
too old, too stupid or too undeserving; that you never win anything; 
that you have wished for things in the past and been disappointed 
and there is no reason for you to expect things to change now. This 
is the attachment of the mind and the ego to results and past his- 
tory. It is thinking by using a logical set of beliefs that you have 
adopted from the collective tribal consciousness and that you have 
been conditioned to accept ever since you arrived on this physical 
plane. When you receive this kind of advice from your mind, 
acknowledge it, thank it for its input, but then say to yourself, “I 
refuse to accept any energy that contradicts the unlimited power 
that is within me, and I am moving on with my manifestation.” 
The universal law is far more magnanimous than the mind. Remember, it is unlimited, without boundaries and omnipresent. It 
exists in a dimension vaster than the mind. This is why the mind 
cannot even comprehend the universal source of energy. Your mind 
thinks that it is the end all of experience and awareness, and you are 
using that very same mind to affirm or deny what exists beyond it. A huge paradox indeed. But you can begin to trust in what your mind desires by going 
beyond the mind. Meditation and intuitive feelings are two ways to 
supersede the mind. The emphasis is on detaching from the collec- 
tive unconscious beliefs, refusing to judge and patiently allowing the 
universal source to deliver what you are now totally aligned with in 
your inner world. Learn to relax in peace and knowing. Detaching from the outcome 
means avoiding the process of rushing and pushing through life. Think of that acorn that has been planted in the ground and is on 
its way to manifesting an oak tree. Imagine digging up the acorn 
after three weeks to see how it is doing, and to see if there is any- 
145 
WAYNE W. DYER 
thing that you might do to hurry the process along so as to fit your 
schedule. Obviously, the acorn and the oak would perish as a result 
of your efforts to rush the process. The universal intelligence works at its own perfect pace. It will 
deliver when you are in alignment with the nine principles detailed 
in this book. The delivery is guaranteed by the absence of doubt 
that you cultivate, and total trust in the presence of this energy in all 
things, including that which you are going to attract into your life. The way to patient detachment is to relax, trust, do not push. The inclination to push and force is your cue that your mind is 
still doubting and demanding an outcome. Your ability to trust your 
feelings and to let these feelings, rather than your ego, be the driver 
in your life is the key to manifesting your heart’s desire. Use affirmations to keep the energy flowing and to detach from the 
outcome. The most useful affirmation that I can provide for you in 
this regard is really quite simple: “I am infinite and universal and I 
trust in the divine power of the universe, which is also within me.” 
Keep this always available in your consciousness and use it to keep 
the universal energy flowing into your life. By stating this kind of 
affirmation daily, you let go of your mind’s natural impatience and 
attachment to results, and you allow the source to flow, unimpeded, 
into your life. See your day going well in your own inner chamber of energy 
and know that the right people will appear to assist you in your 
manifestation. Be open to your energy and see yourself evolving 
happily and easily through each experience of the day. This affirmation, when used in the morning, allows you to go to 
your center and acknowledge your infinite beauty and your perfect 
place in all things that are a part of this day. This affirmation will 
shield you from the negativity that you will be exposed to from the 
146 
Manifest Your Destiny 
collective unconscious and the beliefs that are no longer a part of 
your inner world. © © © 
This concludes the eighth principle for spiritual manifestation. It 
revolves around transcending your mind and the collective mind that 
has been with you since your conception. It asks you to be patient 
when your mind will demand results, and it asks you to let go of your 
mind’s preoccupation with those results and to trust in something 
your mind cannot see and your body cannot fathom with its limited 
perceptual means known as the senses. It asks you to let your inner- 
most feelings become the guides in your life, and to trust those 
guides. It asks, most significantly, that you allow yourself to know and 
see the infinite white light of the living spirit surrounding and pro- 
tecting you, and providing for you all that your own inner spirit, as a 
piece of that infinite universal spirit, can imagine. Once you perfect that infinite patience you will demonstrate your 
trust in something other than your own limited body/mind, and you 
will peacefully allow your desires to manifest in their own good way, 
in their own good time. The ninth and final principle of spiritual manifestation involves 
the need to be eternally grateful, generous and in the service of 
others. 147 
REACTING TO YOUR MANIFESTATIONS WITH 
GRATITUDE AND GENEROSITY 
The Ninth Principle 
he conscious expression of gratitude and generosity is the 
final principle in this miraculous process of spiritual manifestation. Experiencing an inner sense of gratitude and generosity is the result 
of being in harmony with all of the other eight principles discussed in 
this book. Gratitude is your expression of acknowledging the oneness of the 
universal energy working in cooperation with your desires. THE NATURE OF GRATITUDE 
The nature of gratitude is the complete and full response of the 
human heart to everything in the universe. It is an absence of feeling 
148 
Manifest Your Destiny 
alienated or separate. It represents our full acknowledgment and 
appreciation of the energy flowing through all things, and brings gifts 
to us in the form of the fulfillment of our desires. It recognizes that nothing is to be taken for granted, and, most impor- 
tant, it is an expression of complete, unconditional love in the form of a 
thank you to the God force that is in all things. It is a way of being one 
with the God force in full inner serenity. It recognizes that the spirit 
within ourselves is the same as that which sustains all life on the planet. Gratitude, then, represents the whole of ourselves. When we feel 
grateful and give thanks, sending out this kind of loving energy to the 
world in the same fashion that we did when we were asking for our 
heart’s desire to be manifested, we feel complete. Gratitude allows us to 
feel more together and more connected to that for which we are grate- 
ful. It disallows any feeling of being separate and alienated from God. The nature of gratitude helps dispel the idea that we do not have enough, 
that we will never have enough, and that we ourselves are not enough. When your heart is filled with gratitude, it is grateful for everything 
and cannot focus on what is missing. When your attention is on your 
scarcity, you are telling the universal spirit that you need more and are 
not grateful for all that you have. The nature of gratitude is supportive 
of our fullness and abundance, and acknowledges that we are the 
recipients of the generosity of others, of life and of the universal spirit. Gratitude contributes a loving response to the whole of creation 
and to your relationship with creation. That relationship illustrates 
for us how interconnected and interdependent everything is, includ- 
ing the manifestations in our lives. When we understand the nature 
of gratitude, we can more clearly identify those things within our- 
selves that are obstacles to practicing gratitude. OBSTACLES TO GRATITUDE 
Gratitude is an inner process. It is an attitude of thankfulness even 
when things do not appear as we would prefer. Rumi wrote, “Don’t 
149 
WAYNE W. DYER 
grieve for what doesn’t come. Some things that don’t happen keep 
disasters from happening.” Gratitude is a way of experiencing the 
world with love rather than judgment. The three most common 
obstacles to an attitude of gratitude originate in your mental 
processes. They represent a way of thinking that impedes gratitude. 1:  Faultfinding. No doubt you have heard the phrase “finding fault.” 
But rarely in the same context do you-hear the phrase “finding 
love.” The emphasis for the majority of us is on faultfinding 
rather than on love finding. You always have the choice to be love finding or faultfinding. The faultfinder focuses on what is wrong and what is missing. That focus shows up as criticism, judgment and anger. The feel- 
ing is of being against the manifestations that appear in the world 
rather than being for what one receives. The earlier principles of manifestation explained that it is 
essential to remember that what we think about is what expands, 
as is expressed by “As we think, so shall we be.” If you are using 
your mind to think about what is wrong and what is lacking, this 
is precisely what will manifest for you. Your inner world is the 
source of what you manifest. Finding fault rather than being 
grateful and being a love finder guarantees that you will not be 
able to participate in the co-creation of your life and the fulfill- 
ment of your desires. Faultfinding does not happen because of what you observe in 
your world. It is the observer located within you that chooses a 
critical or angry point of view. 2: Complaining. | have a motto that I have used for many years that is 
quite simple but is very effective in overcoming this obstacle to 
an attitude of gratitude: “Don’t complain, don’t explain!” 
150 
Manifest Your Destiny 
The complainer always feels shortchanged and deprived, and 
consequently becomes envious and bitter toward those who 
seem to have been blessed with what is missing in his or her own 
life. The complainer feels isolated and separate from goodness 
and joyfulness. Because the fullness of life seems to be occurring 
elsewhere, the complainer is full of ingratitude. To become adept at manifesting one’s desires, it is crucial 
to have an attitude of unconditional love, allowing you to feel 
supported and given a gift by life. The inner experience of 
complaining and feeling deprived leads to being angry at the 
universal source that seems to have denied you the benefit of 
its infinite supply. The very attitude of wanting to complain is 
enough to guarantee that you will continue to feel short- 
changed in life. Complaining is an expression of the absence 
of love in your inner world. When you feel love, there is no 
room for being upset with God for not delivering your ego’s 
demands. The ego constantly instructs you to need and want more, 
and tells you that complaining helps. The problem with this is 
that the ego is never satisfied. No matter how much you feed 
the ego, it will give you a new list of demands almost immedi- 
ately after being satisfied. If you give it alcohol until it buzzes, 
and sex until it collapses in ecstasy, and drugs until it is flying 
high, and money and cars and anything else that you can think 
of, the next morning it will have an even longer list of 
demands. The ego is never satisfied, and lives with the slogan 
that more is always better, and if more does not arrive precisely 
when the ego is feeling the need, then you have every right to 
complain. This is a huge obstacle to an attitude of gratitude, 
and an even larger impediment to manifesting the essence of 
the desires of your heart. 151 
WAYNE W. DYER 
Taking what you have for granted. Taking things and people in your 
life for granted drains you of the joy that you could be experi- 
encing if you were feeling grateful. Taking things for granted 
means going through life unaware of the multitude of gifts that 
are here in each and every moment. Think of the activities and experiences that would be missed 
if they suddenly disappeared, and cultivate an awareness that 
does not take life for granted. Strive to be alert to being a love 
finder. Remind yourself that there are no ordinary moments. Kicking a ball around with a child, watching the shape of the 
clouds in the early morning, hearing the sounds of the seasons, 
saying good night to a loved one—every single experience of life 
is an opportunity to experience gratitude or its opposite, a feel- 
ing of ennui. It is always a choice. Sleepwalking through life is a choice to impede the gratitude 
that is necessary for you to become a manifester. If you take 
everything for granted with an absence of joy and appreciation, 
you will never be able to see the clues that are surfacing that will 
give you the impetus to take action on your desired manifesta- 
tion. The appearance of the right person or the unexpected gift 
that may be the beginning of your manifestation will be greeted 
with a shrug and a disinterest that will prevent you from receiv- 
ing its blessing. Be awake and fully appreciative of everything and 
everyone. Change an attitude of ingratitude by imagining, just for a 
moment, how empty your life would be without those blessings. Often, we fail to appreciate our loved ones and all of the gifts of 
the universe until it is too late and they have left our lives. I think 
of this often in relation to my own children. I know that all too 
soon they will be gone from our home and living their own lives 
with their own primary families. I often sit in amazement, feel- 
152 
Manifest Your Destiny 
ing how much I love each one of them. Marcelene and I make a 
habit of putting our arms around them, and just telling them 
how lucky we are that they are a part of our lives, and how privi- 
leged we feel to be their parents. This act of love discourages us from taking each other for 
granted. An expression of gratitude toward grandparents, co- 
workers, spouses and even the pilots flying an airplane you are 
on is a way out of the ennui trap. Discontinue taking life for 
granted. Live with an appreciation for life that cultivates grate- 
fulness. APPRECIATION AND DEPRECIATION 
When we depreciate something, we devalue or diminish its worth. We depreciate things or people by expressing disapproval or dislike. When we appreciate something or someone, we give value with 
approval and praise. When we appreciate things, we mean to 
increase their worth. It is impossible to feel grateful for something or someone we do 
not value. Begin to see things and people as they truly are rather than 
your assessment of them, which is an inner judgment. Each person is 
a child of God. See the unfolding of God in each person you meet. Then you are able to appreciate them. When you fail to do this, you 
depreciate them. Your experience of misery, emptiness and fear is related to your 
depreciation of what shows up in your life. Think of everything that 
you criticize regularly and you will see where you have failed to 
appreciate. If you find fault with blacks or whites, Muslims or Jews, 
Iraqis or Americans, the young or the old, what you are doing is 
devaluing groups of people. The moment you participate in the 
depreciation process, you block your ability to experience gratitude 
153 
WAYNE W. DYER 
and, consequently, you obstruct your ability to manifest prosperity, 
love and joy. Essentially, the activity of depreciation means that you are not 
sensing the beauty of life. Rather than reinforcing the misperceptions 
of your ego, become an appreciator and, therefore, a manifester by 
seeing the Christ shining back at you in the other person or groups of 
people. CULTIVATING AN ATTITUDE OF GRATITUDE 
Below are some suggestions for activating the practice of grati- 
tude. Make the shift to being grateful for all that you are, and all that 
you have, and you will facilitate your ability to manifest into your life 
the essence of all that you desire. Develop an awareness of yourself as a recipient rather than as a vic- 
tim. Virtually everything that you possess in your life is because of 
the efforts of others. Your furniture, automobile, home, clothes, 
gardens, yes, even your own body are all, in some way, gifts from 
others. Without those efforts of thousands and thousands of peo- 
ple all working in harmony, you would have nothing showing up in 
your life. Even if you are a “self-made person,” you could not have gone 
past the first moment of your independence without the gifts of the 
very basics that you used to become self-made in the first place. Just 
remind yourself of this fact each day and gratitude will begin replac- 
ing cynicism. Practice a silent expression of gratitude when you start to see your 
desires manifesting from the universal source. A very private, sim- 
ple, “Thank you, God, I see you working in my life and I acknowl- 
edge with love my appreciation for all that you bring to me” is all 
154 
Manifest Your Destiny 
that is needed. These private and firm inner reminders to be thank- 
ful will keep you from getting blocked by those obstacles you have 
just read about. Become a person who is willing to tell those around you how much 
you appreciate them. Make a concerted effort to say aloud how 
much you love your family members without making it a phony rit- 
ual. Be willing to say aloud what a lovely home you have and how 
much you appreciate it, or to express appreciation to someone who 
does your laundry or cooks a fine meal for you. Do this in a sincere 
fashion and you will see how quickly this attitude is reciprocated 
and appreciated. You can practice this attitude of gratitude with strangers. Do 
small favors like returning a shopping cart to the store rather 
than leaving it in the parking lot, or telling a waitress how much 
you appreciate her kind attention to details. The more you are 
willing to express gratitude, the more you are cultivating an 
experience of unconditional love, which, as you know, is the 
secret to manifesting. Be thankful and avoid complaining as much as possible. Remember 
my own personal slogan, “Don’t complain, don’t explain.” Catch 
yourself as you are about to find fault with someone or some condi- 
tion. Then, instead, find something to say that reflects a willingness 
to be a love finder: “They probably haven’t been taught how to per- 
form that task properly” rather than “No one can do anything right 
anymore. I don’t know what the world is coming to.” 
The more you practice not criticizing and not complaining, the 
more that vacuum within you will fill with love and appreciation. Give yourself a specific period of time to practice avoiding com- 
plaining and faultfinding, perhaps thirty days. You will experience 
155 
WAYNE W. DYER 
the emptying of rancor and complaints from your inner self and the 
opening to love, appreciation and gratitude. The presence of 
unconditional love will lead you to the ground of yourself, where 
manifesting your desires becomes possible. Begin and end each day with an expression of gratitude and thanks- 
giving. Every morning when you awake you have been given the gift 
of a sunrise and twenty-four hours to live. This is a precious gift. You have the wonderful opportunity to take this day and live joy- 
ously, with appreciation for everything that you encounter. Take in a deep breath and be grateful for this exhilarating experi- 
ence of breathing in life and love. Similarly, end your day with an 
expression of love, and a repetition of the word for peace, Shalom. That word combines the sounds of manifestation and that which 
has manifested for you. Be aware of the need to be grateful for the suffering and struggles 
that are part of the fabric of your life. Sometimes it is easy to simply 
be angry at.your suffering rather than to know that it is the catalyst 
for your searching and awakening. Your ability to know the power of kindness and love most likely 
grew out of some darkness and pain in your past. Without those 
experiences you would still be stuck. Addictions teach the elixir of 
purity. Anger teaches the ecstasy of love. Ingratitude teaches the 
need for gratitude. Hoarding teaches the pleasure of giving. Your 
own pain taught you how to be more present and loving with 
others. Your chicken pox taught you how to avoid it later in life, by 
giving you the opportunity to build up antibodies in your immune 
system. Life gives exams! Be grateful for those exams rather than 
critical of them. 156 
Manifest Your Destiny 
Remember, it is the nature of thought to increase. The more your 
thoughts are centered on what is missing, the more deficient you 
feel and the more complaints you will utter. Similarly, the more you 
practice gratitude, the more you are thankful and appreciative of all 
that life provides and the more you feed your experience of abun- 
dance and love. The more you practice it, even in small ways, the 
more abundant you will feel, and, ultimately, the more you will 
attract to yourself as well. One of the things I have been doing for years is giving an expression 
of thanks to God whenever I find a coin, regardless of its denomina- 
tion. The coin is a symbol to me of the prosperity that has been put 
right in my path. I have found that I receive coins almost every single 
day of my life. A dime here, a penny there, a nickel on the pavement. They show up regularly, almost as a reminder to me of all that has 
manifested in my life. I simply pick up the coin and say, “Thank you, 
God. I know you are working in my life and I am grateful for this sym- 
bol.” Each time I receive a coin in this manner, I am reminded to 
extend the favor in some form of generosity to others. It is in generos- 
ity and service to others that our gratitude will ultimately extend itself. GENEROSITY AND SERVICE: THE FINAL STEP IN 
MANIFESTATION 
The natural extension of being grateful is the development of a 
generous heart. Perfect generosity is a willingness to give of yourself 
and all that you have manifested without any expectation of a return. You may find it paradoxical that the final phase of manifesting your 
heart’s desire is to generously share what you receive and to move 
your attention away from what you have asked to manifest. However, 
if you review all of the previous principles of spiritual manifestation, 
you will see that this is consistent. 157 
WAYNE W. DYER 
Manifesting is about connecting to the universal spirit, which is 
infinite and abundant in supply. It is not about seeing neediness in 
yourself, but is rather about feeling complete with that radiant abun- 
dance. It is not about craving and demanding. It is concerned with 
unconditional love and attracting that abundant love to your individ- 
ual life. As long as you are in your physical body, you will have 
desires. There is nothing to be ashamed of or feel nonspiritual about. Your body and the physical needs of your material self can and will be 
met with abundant gifts providing that you follow these nine princi- 
ples and do not let your ego take back being in charge of your life. When you feel the presence of that abundance, your feeling of 
gratitude will push you in the direction of generosity. It is in the 
expression of your generosity that you will feel most connected to 
the unconditional love of the universal spirit. The more you feel a 
desire to share what you receive unconditionally, the more you will 
experience it flowing into your life. GENEROSITY AND SELF-LIBERATION 
Generosity is helpful for your own liberation in that it teaches you 
about the inner quality of letting go. Letting go and releasing your 
attachments are the most freeing things you can do to liberate your- 
self from the ego. A need to hang onto the things and money that you 
receive arises out of an inner sense of incompleteness. Practicing 
generosity aligns you with your sense of completeness and love. Generosity for the sake of liberating yourself from your ego 
extends to more than simply sharing your material possessions. Generosity includes offering kindness, care, love and nurturing 
where it is needed. Furthermore, the spirit of generosity can and 
does ultimately relate to how we treat ourselves. If you have a gener- 
ous heart that has no qualms about giving, you will treat yourself lov- 
ingly and will nurture yourself without feeling any sense of guilt. 158 
Manifest Your Destiny 
When you can give freely, as an unconditional act of love, with no 
expectations, you experience what I call total freedom. You relin- 
quish the hold of your self-absorbed ego, which encourages you to 
believe in limitation and competition. This ability to give without 
conditions is also an acknowledgment that whatever has manifested 
into your life has come from an infinite supply and that you can 
never experience a scarcity consciousness because you know that you 
are a part of the infinite supply. GIVING AND RECEIVING: THE WAY THE UNIVERSE WORKS 
Every single time that you take in a breath and then exhale, you 
are engaged in a process of giving and receiving that is vital to the 
material and spiritual world. With each inhalation you take in the 
oxygen and nitrogen that you must have in order to exist, and with 
each exhalation you send back the carbon dioxide that supplies the 
entire plant world. The cycle of generous giving and receiving is 
exactly the same as the very act of breathing. Look around you and notice how everything in our universe is a 
result of giving and receiving. The entire food chain represents a giv- 
ing of life and a taking of life, and then a giving back in an endless 
cycle of material manifestation. The worms that the bird eats, and 
the droppings from the bird, and the eating of the bird, and the recy- 
cling of the meat of the bird, and on and on it goes. There is no place for any of it to go other than here in this uni- 
verse. It does not leave and then reenter. It is all simply a process of 
giving and receiving different forms of energy. The iron in your 
bloodstream is a part of the finite supply of iron that will return in 
another form after your departure from the physical world, perhaps 
in the wings of a bat. You give of your iron supply and you take from 
the same supply. Giving and receiving are a natural function of life. The natural flow of giving and receiving can be stopped by 
159 
WAYNE W. DYER 
stinginess and hoarding. The process works in the same way on the 
spiritual level. You send out love and kindness and it returns to you 
tenfold. The old saying, “What goes around, comes around,” is 
much more than a pithy homily. It is a fact of the universe at all lev- 
els of awareness. In fact, it is what this whole business of manifest- 
ing is all about. | 
You put out loving energy to connect to that which you desire and 
it returns to you. It is a giving and receiving action. You can, however, 
interfere with this natural progression of give and take by selfishly 
hanging onto that which manifests in your material world, and stop- 
ping the flow of energy that brings abundance. This scarcity con- 
sciousness is the work of the ego, which always feels incomplete 
because it is convinced that it is separate from God. CULTIVATING AN ATTITUDE OF GENEROSITY 
Here are a few suggestions for putting generosity into your mani- 
festation practice to keep the natural flow of giving and receiving 
moving in your life. Recognize that this is a way of being that definitely can be devel- 
oped. You may have convinced yourself that giving is impossible 
because you have too little for yourself. If you are not generous 
when it is difficult, you will not be generous when it is easy. Generosity is a function of the heart, not the wallet. You can give of yourself, you can share what little you do have 
with those who are needier, you can tithe to those who provide you 
with spiritual food and ask nothing in return. A generous heart is 
one that places no limitations on its ability to be generous with 
others and does not do it for reward or recognition. You can culti- 
vate this attitude of generosity and practice by sending love and 
kindness as frequently as possible each day. It will ultimately 
160 
Manifest Your Destiny 
become infectious and will lead to more of your heart’s desires 
manifesting. Think of the myriad things that you do each day for others, including 
animals and the environment you are a part of, as ways of practicing 
generosity. Talking to a lonely neighbor, feeding a stray cat, opening a 
door, anonymously paying the toll for the car behind you, picking up 
your children from a lesson, vacuuming the carpet, filling the gas 
tank for your spouse’s car or whatever may occur in the thousands of 
actions you undertake each day. Remind yourself that you are prac- 
ticing generosity rather than feeling ignored or unappreciated. Most important, remember that to give without expectation of 
an acknowledgment is truly the work of your higher self. The ego 
needs and demands credit as often as possible, and with a great deal 
of fanfare as well. Keep your generosity practices private, without 
needing to boast about your great generous spirit. Become aware of the internal resistances that arise within you when 
you have an impulse to give. Your fear of not having enough for 
yourself and your family, your doubts about whether others are 
truly needy, your self-consciousness or embarrassment, the fact that 
others won’t appreciate it anyway or perhaps will only ask for more 
are impulses that you need to honor as valid. All of these inner 
doubts and fears should be examined without judgment. They all 
represent a part of your own conditioned response to generosity. When you give for the sake of having a generous spirit and 
extending love, and for no other reason, then those inner doubts 
will fade away. I am often criticized when I give money on the street 
to an obvious drug addict. When my critic says, “They are only 
going to buy more drugs with that money,” my response is, “What 
they do with the money has nothing to do with why I gave them the 
161 
WAYNE W. DYER 
money. This one human being connecting to another in a spirit of 
love might be that single act of kindness and generosity that will 
bring them closer to God, where genuine healing takes place.” 
Give yourself designated times and periods of time to practice being 
generous, particularly in offering service or in giving of your time. I sometimes notice my young son out playing soccer by himself, 
kicking the ball and wishing in his heart that he had someone to play 
with. I remind myself to forget about the zillion things that I have to 
do, my state of fatigue, my desire to watch a video or whatever, and I 
designate the next several hours to simply sharing my time with him. It is not because I am so magnanimous but because it is my opportu- 
nity to practice being generous with my time and my love. It also 
provides me with the glorious opportunity to do something I really 
love, which is to be with my boy, whom I love dearly. Practice being able to receive. Accept help when others offer it. Allow others to do for you without feeling embarrassed or without 
feeling that your independence is threatened. Remember that giving 
and receiving are the natural interplay of the energy of the universe. It is the very source of your manifestation practice. If you turn off the receiving side, you cut the natural flow of 
energy just as if you turned off the giving side. Practice saying 
“Thank you, I appreciate your help” even if your independent ego 
says “I didn’t really need it.” Receiving is very much a component 
of the spiritual practice of manifestation, and you can work at 
allowing this into your life with gratitude and love. Catch yourself at the specific moment of your scarcity conscious- 
ness and use this moment to work on your new generosity. When 
you are perceiving scarcity, your immediate inclination is to hoard, 
162 
Manifest Your Destiny 
but following through by hoarding only amplifies the effects of your 
feeling stingy and fearful. This might involve something as simple as tipping beyond what is 
expected, or it might involve extending love or a compliment to 
those on whom you practice your scarcity behavior. In these 
moments, work on your highest self, which wants you to experience 
joy and peace and extend a bit of unaccustomed generosity. Remind 
yourself that a generous spirit infuses the mind with joy and 
strength. This is precisely how you will feel when you have over- 
come your conditioned response of hoarding and stinginess. Practice giving just a bit more than you think you can, and a bit 
more than your own comfort level allows. Increase your patience 
with a child, hold your spouse in a passionate embrace for just a bit 
longer than a superficial squeeze, give an extra dollar or two to the 
maid who took care of you during your hotel visit. Whatever you have convinced yourself is the limit of your gen- 
erosity, try going beyond it, knowing full well that it is not going to 
cause any great hardship in your life. Know, too, that it will give you 
that sense of spiritual fulfillment that makes you feel more Godlike 
and which is actually putting you in touch with your highest self. You can practice a little bit more generosity with yourself than 
you are normally accustomed to. Order the item on the menu that 
costs a bit more, or give yourself a few extra days on your vacation 
trip, or allow yourself the luxury of a body massage or a facial. EXTENDING YOUR GENEROSITY INTO SERVICE AS A 
WAY OF LIFE 
We all live in this world with other people, and our encounters 
and relationships with them are a central component and influence 
163 
WAYNE W. DYER 
on ourselves and each other. “Service” is a word that is not com- 
monly thought of as a part of our way of being in ordinary relation- 
ships. Service simply cannot be separated from relationships. We will 
all benefit from making this a conscious activity of our everyday lives 
in relationship to God, our fellow human beings, our environment 
and ourselves. Millions of fibers connect us to our fellow human beings, and our 
actions connect us via these fibers to all others on our planet. When 
you cultivate an attitude of gratitude and generosity, you will find | 
yourself wanting to be in the service of others. You will find it natural 
to extend that which you receive into the service of others as well. If you receive a great teaching, you will want to teach it to others. If you receive love, you will wish to extend that love unconditionally 
outward. Your relationships will automatically be felt as gifts for the 
service of others. When you contemplate the purpose of your life in the material 
plane, you will discover that the only thing you can do with this life is 
to give it away. You cannot hang onto anything in a constantly chang- 
ing universe. You cannot lay claim to anything. It is all transitory. The 
only part of you that is permanent is the part that is unchanging, and 
that is the spiritual essence that resides in an unseen dimension. You 
will find your purpose and your strength when you see that you are in 
a relationship with all other living things, and that you are purposeful 
and peaceful when you serve in some capacity. The very purpose of manifesting is to serve more fully and to leave 
ego-dominated self-absorption behind. Your well-being, which is the 
purpose of your manifesting practice, is genuinely and inextricably 
connected to the lives and well-being of others. Essentially, your own 
interests are inseparable from someone else’s interests. It is out of this state of recognizing our fundamental interconnect- 
edness that we realize we are all in a constant state of service to each 
164 
Manifest Your Destiny 
other. It is this awareness that you want to keep uppermost in your 
mind as you generate this principle of spiritual manifesting. Service at its very basic core is an inner choice ‘to offer a helpful 
and healing attitude to others as well as to ourselves. A natural out- 
growth of feeling grateful for our daily life manifestations is experi- 
encing the inclination to be generous. Gratitude, generosity and an 
awareness of service as our purpose are the fundamental tenets of 
this last principle. By turning the purpose of your life into one of service and leaving 
behind your self-absorption, you discover the irony of manifesting. The more you choose to be of service, the more profoundly you 
experience unconditional love, and the more you find materializing 
into your life. Service is best thought of as a continual focus in your life rather 
than being limited to certain kinds of giving activities and the sharing 
in relationships. Service is a state of mind that expresses love rather 
than fear, and trust rather than distrust. It is focusing on meeting all 
others as equals with whom we share a spiritual identity. This inner 
attitude of love reveals itself in action. When I accept a speaking engagement, I want to be love revealing 
itself in action, generously sharing what I have been given. I find that 
when I am about to address a large audience the best way for me to 
get outside my ego, which is focused on its own rewards, such as 
applause, making money and receiving awards, is to meditate for an 
hour before my talk. The mantra I repeat during my meditation is 
“How may I serve?” Over and over I say these words to myself until 
they blend into a peaceful inner countenance. When I go on stage to 
speak, my attention is focused on serving and is not caught by my 
ego. In this state of mind I enjoy a loving guidance that supports me 
in serving those who are in the audience. Service does not require that you become a Mother Teresa. You 
165 
WAYNE W. DYER 
serve by suspending your ego and extending the love that now fills 
that space. It can take a million different forms, but when practiced 
with authenticity, from the heart, it makes all that has manifested 
into your life appear worthwhile. The only problem that you will encounter with a service approach 
to your life is in attempting to give or serve without love. The 
moment that you put a condition on your service, or ask something 
in return, or expect your extension of the offer to serve to be 
returned with the appropriate thank-you response, you introduce | 
conditional rather than unconditional love. The imposition of the 
condition makes service empty. If you are going to serve, ask yourself if you can love the human 
being you are serving. If you cannot, then do not give lovelessly but 
simply pass and send them a silent blessing. If you feel someone is 
panhandling simply out of laziness and work avoidance, and this is 
your heartfelt feeling, then do not give. Service without love is obli- 
gation, and it carries guilt and anger and resentment along with it. Work at being in a state of unconditional love with your service 
efforts, and when love is not authentically present, acknowledge that 
as well. This concludes the ninth principle of spiritual manifesting. Be willing 
to take all that is attracted to you as a result of your practicing the 
manifesting principles, and then turn right around and in a spirit of 
gratitude and generosity devote yourself to an act of service. The more 
you practice in this light, the more you will see the objects of your 
desire coming to fruition regularly. There need be no conflict between 
your spiritual awareness of wanting to serve and the presence of 
desires within you. As Rumi observed almost a millennium ago, 
“People who renounce desires often turn, suddenly, into hypocrites!” 
166 
Manifest Your Destiny 
You do have desires, both on a material level and in terms of 
becoming more spiritually loving and generous in the service of oth- 
ers. There need be no conflict. I want to close this final principle with another observation by 
Rumi titled “The Servant Who Loved His Prayers.” It sums up all 
that I have written, not only here in this final principle on gratitude, 
generosity and service, but in this entire book. Read the words care- 
fully, and as you close the book and go to work on your own spiritual 
manifestation program, reread this passage by Jalaluddin Rumi, who 
was born in the year 1207 in the Persian Empire in what is now 
called Afghanistan. It will remind you of your role in all of this, a role 
that is only limited by the restrictions you place on your spiritual 
awareness. The Servant Who Loved His Prayers 
At dawn a certain rich man 
wanted to go to the steambaths. He woke his servant, Sunqur, 
“Ho! Get Moving! Get the basin 
and the towels and the clay for washing 
and let’s go to the baths.” 
Sunqur immediately collected what was needed, 
and they set out side by side along the road. As they passed the mosque, the call to prayer sounded. Sunqur loved his five-times prayer. “Please, master, 
rest on this bench for a while that I may recite sura 98, 
which begins, 
“You who treat your slave with kindness.’” 
The master sat on the bench outside while Sunqur went in. When prayers were over, and the priest and all the worshipers 
167 
WAYNE W. DYER 
had left, still Sungqur remained inside. The master waited 
and waited. Finally he yelled into the mosque, 
“Sunqur, , 
why don’t you come out?” 
“T can’t. This clever one 
won’t let me. Have a little more patience. I hear you out there.” 
Seven times the master waited, 
and then shouted. Sunqur’s reply was always the same, 
“Not yet. He won’t let me come out yet.” 
“But there’s no one 
in there but you. Everyone else has left. Who makes you sit still so long?” 
“The one who keeps me in here is the one 
who keeps you out there. The same who will not let you in will not let me out.” 
The ocean will not allow its fish out of itself. Nor does it let land animals in 
where the subtle and delicate fish move. The land creatures lumber along on the ground. No cleverness can change this. There’s only one 
opener for the lock of these matters. Forget your figuring. Forget your self. Listen to your Friend. When you become totally obedient to that one, 
you'll be free. May you always swim in the ocean of abundance while manifesting 
your own divine destiny. Listen to your friend. 168 
A Summary of the Nine Principles 
I would like you to see all nine principles in the same place so that you 
can refer to them often as well as see how they comprise a step-by- 
step program for implementing a spiritual manifestation awareness 
for yourself. Each principle flows to the next, and if you apply them in 
this sequential manner, I can guarantee that you will begin to view 
yourself as an absolute miracle, an individual who is connected to the 
universal all-pervading spirit in such a firm manner that you know 
you are a co-creator of your own life and all that is attracted into it. THE NINE PRINCIPLES

Summarize the following text section accurately and concisely. Maintain specific details and numerical information, and use anti-repetition mechanisms:

        You know this and you know that you can con- 
nect to this energy in a way that will fulfill the essence of your 
desires. I recommend that you review the second principle in this 
book, and the entire chapter titled “Banish the Doubt” in Your 
Sacred Self; if you want to reinforce this idea. When you have removed the doubt about your ability to mani- 
fest, it will be easy to detach yourself from the outcome and all of 
the details. Your trust in yourself and in the divine energy of the 
universe is all that you will need. Leave your expectations and go about your business. Once you have 
put your aaah meditation out into the universe through the opening 
of the third eye, simply forget about it and get on with the business 
of your daily life. Do not keep looking for reasons to disbelievé your 
ability to attract to yourself what you desire. Practice the patience that God has always displayed toward you 
during your tumultuous times. You will find comfort in the silent 
137 
WAYNE W. DYER 
inner knowing and in your relationship to God. Maintain your daily work and play regime with a new sense of 
peace, originating in your inner knowing alent what is manifesting 
for you. Remain completely detached from the inclination to mea- 
sure and calculate what is and is not showing up for you. In fact, it may take some time after your desires have manifested 
for you to even be aware that they are here. There may be a time 
when you notice that it has already begun to happen and you realize 
that you did not see it right away because you had let go and let God 
handle it for you. This is an indication that you have been able to 
master this principle of patient detachment from outcome. Maintain privacy about your desires. As was stated earlier, sharing 
your manifestation efforts decreases the energy and deflects that 
energy into the ego’s need to gain approval. You want the energy of 
your manifestation to be direct and as pure as possible. Furthermore, 
you want to avoid dissipating the energy that you are projecting by 
preventing it from becoming involved with any ego needs. When you are patiently detached, you have also detached your- 
self from any need to gain approval for your efforts. Of course, you 
may wish ultimately to share the results of your spiritual manifest- 
ing, but while you are incubating this divine experience with God, 
make every effort to keep it a private affair. A need to share it at this 
stage is an indication that you are focused on outcome and are 
attached to the results. Be aware of the cues that your desires are manifesting. Keep in 
mind that the way things will show up in your life is not necessarily 
related to what your rational brain has indicated. Things may begin 
popping into your life that were never there before, and which may 
surprise you as you notice them more and more frequently. 138 
Manifest Your Destiny 
You will also begin to notice more of a connection between your 
thoughts and the object of those thoughts materializing in your life. Things that you used to label coincidences will become more and 
more evident as you practice these principles of manifesting. You 
will see people showing up to help you after you have thought about 
these needed helpers. You will find objects appearing that were in 
your mind, and which you have forgotten about, but now are show- 
ing up more and more. Someone will mention a particular movie or song or some other 
apparently irrelevant item, and you will hear it over and over, or the 
out-of-print movie you had mentioned wanting to see will arrive in 
your video store that very same day. Be aware of what you have been 
thinking about in relationship to what you want to manifest. These 
are cues that will begin to pop up in a multitude of delightful and 
unexpected ways. All of these synchronistic events and happenings are the result of 
beginning to live in a heightened state of awareness. You are con- 
sciously making contact with the universal source of all energy that 
has been below your conscious level before, but is now beginning to 
appear above the surface. Pay close attention to the cues as they sur- 
face, and gently tell yourself, “It’s working. I can see the results and 
I know that they are due to my using these principles and my medi- 
tation practices. I'll continue privately to do what I am doing. a 
Act immediately on the cues that arrive by acknowledging them. When you acknowledge the early signs of arrival of what you wish to 
manifest, you are giving your inner energy a positive charge and rec- 
ognizing the divine universal intelligence. This recognition is essen- 
tial to the continuation of this manifesting process. When you see it starting to show up, give silent thanks and say to 
yourself, “I see the results of my connecting to the universal source. o 
139 
WAYNE W. DYER 
I notice the presence of that particular person who offered to help 
me, and J know he or she was sent to me by God. I give thanks, and 
I will make every attempt to use this manifestation for the good of 
humanity rather than for my own ego gratification. ” 
Don’t think of your manifestation as a special favor. The universal 
intelligence that we call God is not an individual personality and it 
will not dispense special favors to you or anyone else. ‘To see mani- 
festation as a favor is to begin the process of bargaining with God 
and believing in your separateness from all other living beings. The 
process of manifesting isa spiritual practice in that it is your recog- 
nition that you and the divine source of all energy are one and the 
same. This oneness has no judgments about anyone being more enti- 
tled to abundance than anyone else. It is everywhere and in all 
things, and it shows up when you, as a localized particle of that 
divine source, recognize your connection and are open to it work- 
ing in your life. While gratitude is such an important part of this consciousness 
that it represents the ninth and final principle of spiritual manifest- 
ing, it is not appreciation for a special favor. The ego thrives on 
making you special and distinct from others and, therefore, more 
deserving of its multitude of demands. The ego would love you to 
think of these manifestations as special favors, because in doing so, 
you would reinforce your separation from that source. Your desires manifest because you are in perfect alignment with 
your source of creation, and because you are not placing any limita- 
tions on what can come into your life. Ignore your ego’s efforts to 
make you think that you are receiving God’s richest blessings in the 
form of having your desires materialize because you are special. Instead, be thankful and use these blessings in the service of oth- 
140 
Manifest Your Destiny 
ers and in deep gratitude for your own spiritual essence. Your iden- 
tification is no longer exclusively with the physical body, and your 
infinite soul is recognized as your true essence. It is this recognition 
that is responsible for your manifestation results, not that you have 
been singled out. Remember again, the universal intelligence called 
God cannot possibly be singled out, since it is everywhere in every- 
thing. View any and all obstacles as lessons, not indications of failure. Keep in mind that you are practicing patience and detachment from 
outcome. When anything appears to be an obstacle, do not use that 
material fact to deny the existence of the universal energy that is 
your essence. Once again, this is the work of the ego, which wants you to 
believe that it, rather than God, is in charge. If the ego can convince 
you that this stuff is all nonsense, and that these obstacles are proof 
positive that God is ignoring you, then you will be back in its influ- 
yACNGe. Everything that shows up in your life is supposed to. This 
includes the falls in your life, which provide you with the energy to 
propel yourself to a higher state of awareness. Manifesting is a higher state of awareness than merely feeling as 
if you are being pushed around by the whims of the environment 
and a boss who is in charge of everything. Each obstacle, however 
difficult, however imposing, is a test for you to keep your faith and 
stay with the inner knowing that has banished all doubt. When things do not appear to be materializing the way you had 
planned, remind yourself that you are infinitely patient and unat- 
tached to any particular schedule. Most of the blessings in your life, 
and in mine, too, were preceded by some falls that we were not 
sure we could manage when they happened. But you did, and I did, 
141 
WAYNE W. DYER 
and I know in my heart that all spiritual advances are generally pre- 
ceded by a fall of some kind. I tend to view those falls with gratitude 
rather than dismay. My knowing about my ability to manifest the essence of my 
desires is so strong that I can maintain my patience and detachment 
from how the details show up, even in the face of what might look 
like insurmountable odds. Remember, there is no timetable when 
you have infinite patience. There is no failure when you are 
detached from how it shows up. It works. Know it, and let the uni- 
verse handle all of the details. Release all judgment from your manifestation practice. The univer- 
sal law is not a dual energy. It does not operate on the same dualism 
that works here on the earth plane. It does not discriminate or 
work on a good/bad, right/wrong basis. There is just one energy 
that permeates all things, and everything is a part of that power. By 
its very nature, the universal law is in balance, therefore whatever 
you desire must also be in harmony with the recognition of this 
divine universal source from which all things receive their life 
energy. This requires you to be willing to suspend your inclination to 
judge that which shows up in your life as right or wrong, good or 
bad, attractive or unattractive and so on. Your judgments halt the 
flow of universal energy into your life and put you at odds with that 
divine power. It is not that you will be punished, it is that your 
recognition will alter the natural flow of that energy into your life. Your ability to manifest depends in large part on your own will- 
ingness to leave behind the collective unconscious—the collective 
judgments that make up the totality of human beliefs. The numer- 
ous judgments of world belief patterns that you are attached to 
inhibit your ability to manifest the desires of your heart. Detaching 
142 
Manifest Your Destiny 
from these beliefs is one of the greatest challenges of your life. You have to leave this collective unconsciousness by suspending 
your judgments and all of those beliefs that the collective conscious- 
ness holds, and step unflinchingly into the world of the unknown. You will probably experience a sense of loss and perhaps a feeling of 
loneliness as you make this step out of judgment. The reward is that 
you will begin to expand your own perceptions and to accept that 
what others believe are their perceptions. They are not necessarily 
the facts as you know them. What the collective consciousness 
believes to be the limits to their abilities you will know as a misper- 
ception. You will not need to be in conflict with this consciousness 
because you will have stepped into a higher vibration wherein there 
are no limits. The physical earth plane has its limits. You, however, 
are now a resident in the universal intelligence that is responsible 
for the existence of that physical earth plane. Make this leap by leav- 
ing behind all judgments and by becoming totally accepting of all | 
that arrives from that unlimited supply of energy. It could be a business card that you find while walking on the 
beach, or it could take the form of a book or a tape recording, or a 
message that was intended for another but is in your mailbox. These can all be cues. Send away all judgments about how anything 
arrives in your life and refuse to assume the collective judgments 
that permeate the beliefs of most of the people you encounter. Harness this universal intelligence by noticing it manifesting regu- 
larly, which is, essentially, in every single event in your life. As you node what arrives and disappears, try to do it without 
judgment and with a feeling of total acceptance, leaving your 
thoughts out of the picture completely. Your mind will want to play 
the judgment game. Remember, here you are feeling as if what you 
want to manifest is already in your life. Your mind will not agree 
143 
WAYNE W. DYER 
with you, and you must learn to suspend your judgments. You 
might say to yourself, “I am wealthy and happy,” and your mind 
counters with, “You are not. ” Thus, you ‘have a clash of opposing 
energies: your desire versus your mind, with all of its judgments and 
negativity. This clash is your warning that you are not going to enter the 
kingdom of manifestation. You do not get to become a manifester 
until you have thoroughly discarded the: negativity that you have 
inherited from the collective unconscious. You have to enter a new 
dimension. This is not accomplished by leaving the earth plane, it is 
an inward journey. In that inner world, anything that you can imagine is actually a 
part of you right now. Your proclamation of being wealthy and 
happy, if taken to that inner nonjudgmental world, will lead you to 
feel wealthy and happy. This, in turn, will lead you to begin acting in 
new ways. You will begin to create a new concrete reality of wealth 
and happiness within yourself as you generate a positive attitude 
toward all that you encounter. No judgments, simply maintaining 
an inner feeling of having already manifested whatever it is you 
desire. Remember, the universal law is neutral and everywhere, and is 
unconcerned about whether you receive your heart’s desire. Therefore, you must take to the path of manifestation with enthusi- 
asm and a total absence of judgment. You are going to collect that 
which is already here and belonging to you, with no doubt and only 
a fierce private determination to receive what you are now totally 
aligned with in your inner world of nonjudgmental energy. This law 
does not discriminate. It receives your energy and delivers whatever 
you put into it. You must trust in this energy and be totally free of 
judgment about the method and timing of the delivery. Your mind will attempt to use logic, but manifestation is not log- 
144 
Manifest Your Destiny 
ical. Your mind will try to employ negativity by insisting that you are 
too old, too stupid or too undeserving; that you never win anything; 
that you have wished for things in the past and been disappointed 
and there is no reason for you to expect things to change now. This 
is the attachment of the mind and the ego to results and past his- 
tory. It is thinking by using a logical set of beliefs that you have 
adopted from the collective tribal consciousness and that you have 
been conditioned to accept ever since you arrived on this physical 
plane. When you receive this kind of advice from your mind, 
acknowledge it, thank it for its input, but then say to yourself, “I 
refuse to accept any energy that contradicts the unlimited power 
that is within me, and I am moving on with my manifestation. ” 
The universal law is far more magnanimous than the mind. Remember, it is unlimited, without boundaries and omnipresent. It 
exists in a dimension vaster than the mind. This is why the mind 
cannot even comprehend the universal source of energy. Your mind 
thinks that it is the end all of experience and awareness, and you are 
using that very same mind to affirm or deny what exists beyond it. A huge paradox indeed. But you can begin to trust in what your mind desires by going 
beyond the mind. Meditation and intuitive feelings are two ways to 
supersede the mind. The emphasis is on detaching from the collec- 
tive unconscious beliefs, refusing to judge and patiently allowing the 
universal source to deliver what you are now totally aligned with in 
your inner world. Learn to relax in peace and knowing. Detaching from the outcome 
means avoiding the process of rushing and pushing through life. Think of that acorn that has been planted in the ground and is on 
its way to manifesting an oak tree. Imagine digging up the acorn 
after three weeks to see how it is doing, and to see if there is any- 
145 
WAYNE W. DYER 
thing that you might do to hurry the process along so as to fit your 
schedule. Obviously, the acorn and the oak would perish as a result 
of your efforts to rush the process. The universal intelligence works at its own perfect pace. It will 
deliver when you are in alignment with the nine principles detailed 
in this book. The delivery is guaranteed by the absence of doubt 
that you cultivate, and total trust in the presence of this energy in all 
things, including that which you are going to attract into your life. The way to patient detachment is to relax, trust, do not push. The inclination to push and force is your cue that your mind is 
still doubting and demanding an outcome. Your ability to trust your 
feelings and to let these feelings, rather than your ego, be the driver 
in your life is the key to manifesting your heart’s desire. Use affirmations to keep the energy flowing and to detach from the 
outcome. The most useful affirmation that I can provide for you in 
this regard is really quite simple: “I am infinite and universal and I 
trust in the divine power of the universe, which is also within me. ” 
Keep this always available in your consciousness and use it to keep 
the universal energy flowing into your life. By stating this kind of 
affirmation daily, you let go of your mind’s natural impatience and 
attachment to results, and you allow the source to flow, unimpeded, 
into your life. See your day going well in your own inner chamber of energy 
and know that the right people will appear to assist you in your 
manifestation. Be open to your energy and see yourself evolving 
happily and easily through each experience of the day. This affirmation, when used in the morning, allows you to go to 
your center and acknowledge your infinite beauty and your perfect 
place in all things that are a part of this day. This affirmation will 
shield you from the negativity that you will be exposed to from the 
146 
Manifest Your Destiny 
collective unconscious and the beliefs that are no longer a part of 
your inner world. © © © 
This concludes the eighth principle for spiritual manifestation. It 
revolves around transcending your mind and the collective mind that 
has been with you since your conception. It asks you to be patient 
when your mind will demand results, and it asks you to let go of your 
mind’s preoccupation with those results and to trust in something 
your mind cannot see and your body cannot fathom with its limited 
perceptual means known as the senses. It asks you to let your inner- 
most feelings become the guides in your life, and to trust those 
guides. It asks, most significantly, that you allow yourself to know and 
see the infinite white light of the living spirit surrounding and pro- 
tecting you, and providing for you all that your own inner spirit, as a 
piece of that infinite universal spirit, can imagine. Once you perfect that infinite patience you will demonstrate your 
trust in something other than your own limited body/mind, and you 
will peacefully allow your desires to manifest in their own good way, 
in their own good time. The ninth and final principle of spiritual manifestation involves 
the need to be eternally grateful, generous and in the service of 
others. 147 
REACTING TO YOUR MANIFESTATIONS WITH 
GRATITUDE AND GENEROSITY 
The Ninth Principle 
he conscious expression of gratitude and generosity is the 
final principle in this miraculous process of spiritual manifestation. Experiencing an inner sense of gratitude and generosity is the result 
of being in harmony with all of the other eight principles discussed in 
this book. Gratitude is your expression of acknowledging the oneness of the 
universal energy working in cooperation with your desires. THE NATURE OF GRATITUDE 
The nature of gratitude is the complete and full response of the 
human heart to everything in the universe. It is an absence of feeling 
148 
Manifest Your Destiny 
alienated or separate. It represents our full acknowledgment and 
appreciation of the energy flowing through all things, and brings gifts 
to us in the form of the fulfillment of our desires. It recognizes that nothing is to be taken for granted, and, most impor- 
tant, it is an expression of complete, unconditional love in the form of a 
thank you to the God force that is in all things. It is a way of being one 
with the God force in full inner serenity. It recognizes that the spirit 
within ourselves is the same as that which sustains all life on the planet. Gratitude, then, represents the whole of ourselves. When we feel 
grateful and give thanks, sending out this kind of loving energy to the 
world in the same fashion that we did when we were asking for our 
heart’s desire to be manifested, we feel complete. Gratitude allows us to 
feel more together and more connected to that for which we are grate- 
ful. It disallows any feeling of being separate and alienated from God. The nature of gratitude helps dispel the idea that we do not have enough, 
that we will never have enough, and that we ourselves are not enough. When your heart is filled with gratitude, it is grateful for everything 
and cannot focus on what is missing. When your attention is on your 
scarcity, you are telling the universal spirit that you need more and are 
not grateful for all that you have. The nature of gratitude is supportive 
of our fullness and abundance, and acknowledges that we are the 
recipients of the generosity of others, of life and of the universal spirit. Gratitude contributes a loving response to the whole of creation 
and to your relationship with creation. That relationship illustrates 
for us how interconnected and interdependent everything is, includ- 
ing the manifestations in our lives. When we understand the nature 
of gratitude, we can more clearly identify those things within our- 
selves that are obstacles to practicing gratitude. OBSTACLES TO GRATITUDE 
Gratitude is an inner process. It is an attitude of thankfulness even 
when things do not appear as we would prefer. Rumi wrote, “Don’t 
149 
WAYNE W. DYER 
grieve for what doesn’t come. Some things that don’t happen keep 
disasters from happening. ” Gratitude is a way of experiencing the 
world with love rather than judgment. The three most common 
obstacles to an attitude of gratitude originate in your mental 
processes. They represent a way of thinking that impedes gratitude. 1:  Faultfinding. No doubt you have heard the phrase “finding fault. ” 
But rarely in the same context do you-hear the phrase “finding 
love. ” The emphasis for the majority of us is on faultfinding 
rather than on love finding. You always have the choice to be love finding or faultfinding. The faultfinder focuses on what is wrong and what is missing. That focus shows up as criticism, judgment and anger. The feel- 
ing is of being against the manifestations that appear in the world 
rather than being for what one receives. The earlier principles of manifestation explained that it is 
essential to remember that what we think about is what expands, 
as is expressed by “As we think, so shall we be. ” If you are using 
your mind to think about what is wrong and what is lacking, this 
is precisely what will manifest for you. Your inner world is the 
source of what you manifest. Finding fault rather than being 
grateful and being a love finder guarantees that you will not be 
able to participate in the co-creation of your life and the fulfill- 
ment of your desires. Faultfinding does not happen because of what you observe in 
your world. It is the observer located within you that chooses a 
critical or angry point of view. 2: Complaining. | have a motto that I have used for many years that is 
quite simple but is very effective in overcoming this obstacle to 
an attitude of gratitude: “Don’t complain, don’t explain. ” 
150 
Manifest Your Destiny 
The complainer always feels shortchanged and deprived, and 
consequently becomes envious and bitter toward those who 
seem to have been blessed with what is missing in his or her own 
life. The complainer feels isolated and separate from goodness 
and joyfulness. Because the fullness of life seems to be occurring 
elsewhere, the complainer is full of ingratitude. To become adept at manifesting one’s desires, it is crucial 
to have an attitude of unconditional love, allowing you to feel 
supported and given a gift by life. The inner experience of 
complaining and feeling deprived leads to being angry at the 
universal source that seems to have denied you the benefit of 
its infinite supply. The very attitude of wanting to complain is 
enough to guarantee that you will continue to feel short- 
changed in life. Complaining is an expression of the absence 
of love in your inner world. When you feel love, there is no 
room for being upset with God for not delivering your ego’s 
demands. The ego constantly instructs you to need and want more, 
and tells you that complaining helps. The problem with this is 
that the ego is never satisfied. No matter how much you feed 
the ego, it will give you a new list of demands almost immedi- 
ately after being satisfied. If you give it alcohol until it buzzes, 
and sex until it collapses in ecstasy, and drugs until it is flying 
high, and money and cars and anything else that you can think 
of, the next morning it will have an even longer list of 
demands. The ego is never satisfied, and lives with the slogan 
that more is always better, and if more does not arrive precisely 
when the ego is feeling the need, then you have every right to 
complain. This is a huge obstacle to an attitude of gratitude, 
and an even larger impediment to manifesting the essence of 
the desires of your heart. 151 
WAYNE W. DYER 
Taking what you have for granted. Taking things and people in your 
life for granted drains you of the joy that you could be experi- 
encing if you were feeling grateful. Taking things for granted 
means going through life unaware of the multitude of gifts that 
are here in each and every moment. Think of the activities and experiences that would be missed 
if they suddenly disappeared, and cultivate an awareness that 
does not take life for granted. Strive to be alert to being a love 
finder. Remind yourself that there are no ordinary moments. Kicking a ball around with a child, watching the shape of the 
clouds in the early morning, hearing the sounds of the seasons, 
saying good night to a loved one—every single experience of life 
is an opportunity to experience gratitude or its opposite, a feel- 
ing of ennui. It is always a choice. Sleepwalking through life is a choice to impede the gratitude 
that is necessary for you to become a manifester. If you take 
everything for granted with an absence of joy and appreciation, 
you will never be able to see the clues that are surfacing that will 
give you the impetus to take action on your desired manifesta- 
tion. The appearance of the right person or the unexpected gift 
that may be the beginning of your manifestation will be greeted 
with a shrug and a disinterest that will prevent you from receiv- 
ing its blessing. Be awake and fully appreciative of everything and 
everyone. Change an attitude of ingratitude by imagining, just for a 
moment, how empty your life would be without those blessings. Often, we fail to appreciate our loved ones and all of the gifts of 
the universe until it is too late and they have left our lives. I think 
of this often in relation to my own children. I know that all too 
soon they will be gone from our home and living their own lives 
with their own primary families. I often sit in amazement, feel- 
152 
Manifest Your Destiny 
ing how much I love each one of them. Marcelene and I make a 
habit of putting our arms around them, and just telling them 
how lucky we are that they are a part of our lives, and how privi- 
leged we feel to be their parents. This act of love discourages us from taking each other for 
granted. An expression of gratitude toward grandparents, co- 
workers, spouses and even the pilots flying an airplane you are 
on is a way out of the ennui trap. Discontinue taking life for 
granted. Live with an appreciation for life that cultivates grate- 
fulness. APPRECIATION AND DEPRECIATION 
When we depreciate something, we devalue or diminish its worth. We depreciate things or people by expressing disapproval or dislike. When we appreciate something or someone, we give value with 
approval and praise. When we appreciate things, we mean to 
increase their worth. It is impossible to feel grateful for something or someone we do 
not value. Begin to see things and people as they truly are rather than 
your assessment of them, which is an inner judgment. Each person is 
a child of God. See the unfolding of God in each person you meet. Then you are able to appreciate them. When you fail to do this, you 
depreciate them. Your experience of misery, emptiness and fear is related to your 
depreciation of what shows up in your life. Think of everything that 
you criticize regularly and you will see where you have failed to 
appreciate. If you find fault with blacks or whites, Muslims or Jews, 
Iraqis or Americans, the young or the old, what you are doing is 
devaluing groups of people. The moment you participate in the 
depreciation process, you block your ability to experience gratitude 
153 
WAYNE W. DYER 
and, consequently, you obstruct your ability to manifest prosperity, 
love and joy. Essentially, the activity of depreciation means that you are not 
sensing the beauty of life. Rather than reinforcing the misperceptions 
of your ego, become an appreciator and, therefore, a manifester by 
seeing the Christ shining back at you in the other person or groups of 
people. CULTIVATING AN ATTITUDE OF GRATITUDE 
Below are some suggestions for activating the practice of grati- 
tude. Make the shift to being grateful for all that you are, and all that 
you have, and you will facilitate your ability to manifest into your life 
the essence of all that you desire. Develop an awareness of yourself as a recipient rather than as a vic- 
tim. Virtually everything that you possess in your life is because of 
the efforts of others. Your furniture, automobile, home, clothes, 
gardens, yes, even your own body are all, in some way, gifts from 
others. Without those efforts of thousands and thousands of peo- 
ple all working in harmony, you would have nothing showing up in 
your life. Even if you are a “self-made person,” you could not have gone 
past the first moment of your independence without the gifts of the 
very basics that you used to become self-made in the first place. Just 
remind yourself of this fact each day and gratitude will begin replac- 
ing cynicism. Practice a silent expression of gratitude when you start to see your 
desires manifesting from the universal source. A very private, sim- 
ple, “Thank you, God, I see you working in my life and I acknowl- 
edge with love my appreciation for all that you bring to me” is all 
154 
Manifest Your Destiny 
that is needed. These private and firm inner reminders to be thank- 
ful will keep you from getting blocked by those obstacles you have 
just read about. Become a person who is willing to tell those around you how much 
you appreciate them. Make a concerted effort to say aloud how 
much you love your family members without making it a phony rit- 
ual. Be willing to say aloud what a lovely home you have and how 
much you appreciate it, or to express appreciation to someone who 
does your laundry or cooks a fine meal for you. Do this in a sincere 
fashion and you will see how quickly this attitude is reciprocated 
and appreciated. You can practice this attitude of gratitude with strangers. Do 
small favors like returning a shopping cart to the store rather 
than leaving it in the parking lot, or telling a waitress how much 
you appreciate her kind attention to details. The more you are 
willing to express gratitude, the more you are cultivating an 
experience of unconditional love, which, as you know, is the 
secret to manifesting. Be thankful and avoid complaining as much as possible. Remember 
my own personal slogan, “Don’t complain, don’t explain. ” Catch 
yourself as you are about to find fault with someone or some condi- 
tion. Then, instead, find something to say that reflects a willingness 
to be a love finder: “They probably haven’t been taught how to per- 
form that task properly” rather than “No one can do anything right 
anymore. I don’t know what the world is coming to. ” 
The more you practice not criticizing and not complaining, the 
more that vacuum within you will fill with love and appreciation. Give yourself a specific period of time to practice avoiding com- 
plaining and faultfinding, perhaps thirty days. You will experience 
155 
WAYNE W. DYER 
the emptying of rancor and complaints from your inner self and the 
opening to love, appreciation and gratitude. The presence of 
unconditional love will lead you to the ground of yourself, where 
manifesting your desires becomes possible. Begin and end each day with an expression of gratitude and thanks- 
giving. Every morning when you awake you have been given the gift 
of a sunrise and twenty-four hours to live. This is a precious gift. You have the wonderful opportunity to take this day and live joy- 
ously, with appreciation for everything that you encounter. Take in a deep breath and be grateful for this exhilarating experi- 
ence of breathing in life and love. Similarly, end your day with an 
expression of love, and a repetition of the word for peace, Shalom. That word combines the sounds of manifestation and that which 
has manifested for you. Be aware of the need to be grateful for the suffering and struggles 
that are part of the fabric of your life. Sometimes it is easy to simply 
be angry at. your suffering rather than to know that it is the catalyst 
for your searching and awakening. Your ability to know the power of kindness and love most likely 
grew out of some darkness and pain in your past. Without those 
experiences you would still be stuck. Addictions teach the elixir of 
purity. Anger teaches the ecstasy of love. Ingratitude teaches the 
need for gratitude. Hoarding teaches the pleasure of giving. Your 
own pain taught you how to be more present and loving with 
others. Your chicken pox taught you how to avoid it later in life, by 
giving you the opportunity to build up antibodies in your immune 
system. Life gives exams. Be grateful for those exams rather than 
critical of them. 156 
Manifest Your Destiny 
Remember, it is the nature of thought to increase. The more your 
thoughts are centered on what is missing, the more deficient you 
feel and the more complaints you will utter. Similarly, the more you 
practice gratitude, the more you are thankful and appreciative of all 
that life provides and the more you feed your experience of abun- 
dance and love. The more you practice it, even in small ways, the 
more abundant you will feel, and, ultimately, the more you will 
attract to yourself as well. One of the things I have been doing for years is giving an expression 
of thanks to God whenever I find a coin, regardless of its denomina- 
tion. The coin is a symbol to me of the prosperity that has been put 
right in my path. I have found that I receive coins almost every single 
day of my life. A dime here, a penny there, a nickel on the pavement. They show up regularly, almost as a reminder to me of all that has 
manifested in my life. I simply pick up the coin and say, “Thank you, 
God. I know you are working in my life and I am grateful for this sym- 
bol. ” Each time I receive a coin in this manner, I am reminded to 
extend the favor in some form of generosity to others. It is in generos- 
ity and service to others that our gratitude will ultimately extend itself. GENEROSITY AND SERVICE: THE FINAL STEP IN 
MANIFESTATION 
The natural extension of being grateful is the development of a 
generous heart. Perfect generosity is a willingness to give of yourself 
and all that you have manifested without any expectation of a return. You may find it paradoxical that the final phase of manifesting your 
heart’s desire is to generously share what you receive and to move 
your attention away from what you have asked to manifest. However, 
if you review all of the previous principles of spiritual manifestation, 
you will see that this is consistent. 157 
WAYNE W. DYER 
Manifesting is about connecting to the universal spirit, which is 
infinite and abundant in supply. It is not about seeing neediness in 
yourself, but is rather about feeling complete with that radiant abun- 
dance. It is not about craving and demanding. It is concerned with 
unconditional love and attracting that abundant love to your individ- 
ual life. As long as you are in your physical body, you will have 
desires. There is nothing to be ashamed of or feel nonspiritual about. Your body and the physical needs of your material self can and will be 
met with abundant gifts providing that you follow these nine princi- 
ples and do not let your ego take back being in charge of your life. When you feel the presence of that abundance, your feeling of 
gratitude will push you in the direction of generosity. It is in the 
expression of your generosity that you will feel most connected to 
the unconditional love of the universal spirit. The more you feel a 
desire to share what you receive unconditionally, the more you will 
experience it flowing into your life. GENEROSITY AND SELF-LIBERATION 
Generosity is helpful for your own liberation in that it teaches you 
about the inner quality of letting go. Letting go and releasing your 
attachments are the most freeing things you can do to liberate your- 
self from the ego. A need to hang onto the things and money that you 
receive arises out of an inner sense of incompleteness. Practicing 
generosity aligns you with your sense of completeness and love. Generosity for the sake of liberating yourself from your ego 
extends to more than simply sharing your material possessions. Generosity includes offering kindness, care, love and nurturing 
where it is needed. Furthermore, the spirit of generosity can and 
does ultimately relate to how we treat ourselves. If you have a gener- 
ous heart that has no qualms about giving, you will treat yourself lov- 
ingly and will nurture yourself without feeling any sense of guilt. 158 
Manifest Your Destiny 
When you can give freely, as an unconditional act of love, with no 
expectations, you experience what I call total freedom. You relin- 
quish the hold of your self-absorbed ego, which encourages you to 
believe in limitation and competition. This ability to give without 
conditions is also an acknowledgment that whatever has manifested 
into your life has come from an infinite supply and that you can 
never experience a scarcity consciousness because you know that you 
are a part of the infinite supply. GIVING AND RECEIVING: THE WAY THE UNIVERSE WORKS 
Every single time that you take in a breath and then exhale, you 
are engaged in a process of giving and receiving that is vital to the 
material and spiritual world. With each inhalation you take in the 
oxygen and nitrogen that you must have in order to exist, and with 
each exhalation you send back the carbon dioxide that supplies the 
entire plant world. The cycle of generous giving and receiving is 
exactly the same as the very act of breathing. Look around you and notice how everything in our universe is a 
result of giving and receiving. The entire food chain represents a giv- 
ing of life and a taking of life, and then a giving back in an endless 
cycle of material manifestation. The worms that the bird eats, and 
the droppings from the bird, and the eating of the bird, and the recy- 
cling of the meat of the bird, and on and on it goes. There is no place for any of it to go other than here in this uni- 
verse. It does not leave and then reenter. It is all simply a process of 
giving and receiving different forms of energy. The iron in your 
bloodstream is a part of the finite supply of iron that will return in 
another form after your departure from the physical world, perhaps 
in the wings of a bat. You give of your iron supply and you take from 
the same supply. Giving and receiving are a natural function of life. The natural flow of giving and receiving can be stopped by 
159 
WAYNE W. DYER 
stinginess and hoarding. The process works in the same way on the 
spiritual level. You send out love and kindness and it returns to you 
tenfold. The old saying, “What goes around, comes around,” is 
much more than a pithy homily. It is a fact of the universe at all lev- 
els of awareness. In fact, it is what this whole business of manifest- 
ing is all about. | 
You put out loving energy to connect to that which you desire and 
it returns to you. It is a giving and receiving action. You can, however, 
interfere with this natural progression of give and take by selfishly 
hanging onto that which manifests in your material world, and stop- 
ping the flow of energy that brings abundance. This scarcity con- 
sciousness is the work of the ego, which always feels incomplete 
because it is convinced that it is separate from God. CULTIVATING AN ATTITUDE OF GENEROSITY 
Here are a few suggestions for putting generosity into your mani- 
festation practice to keep the natural flow of giving and receiving 
moving in your life. Recognize that this is a way of being that definitely can be devel- 
oped. You may have convinced yourself that giving is impossible 
because you have too little for yourself. If you are not generous 
when it is difficult, you will not be generous when it is easy. Generosity is a function of the heart, not the wallet. You can give of yourself, you can share what little you do have 
with those who are needier, you can tithe to those who provide you 
with spiritual food and ask nothing in return. A generous heart is 
one that places no limitations on its ability to be generous with 
others and does not do it for reward or recognition. You can culti- 
vate this attitude of generosity and practice by sending love and 
kindness as frequently as possible each day. It will ultimately 
160 
Manifest Your Destiny 
become infectious and will lead to more of your heart’s desires 
manifesting. Think of the myriad things that you do each day for others, including 
animals and the environment you are a part of, as ways of practicing 
generosity. Talking to a lonely neighbor, feeding a stray cat, opening a 
door, anonymously paying the toll for the car behind you, picking up 
your children from a lesson, vacuuming the carpet, filling the gas 
tank for your spouse’s car or whatever may occur in the thousands of 
actions you undertake each day. Remind yourself that you are prac- 
ticing generosity rather than feeling ignored or unappreciated. Most important, remember that to give without expectation of 
an acknowledgment is truly the work of your higher self. The ego 
needs and demands credit as often as possible, and with a great deal 
of fanfare as well. Keep your generosity practices private, without 
needing to boast about your great generous spirit. Become aware of the internal resistances that arise within you when 
you have an impulse to give. Your fear of not having enough for 
yourself and your family, your doubts about whether others are 
truly needy, your self-consciousness or embarrassment, the fact that 
others won’t appreciate it anyway or perhaps will only ask for more 
are impulses that you need to honor as valid. All of these inner 
doubts and fears should be examined without judgment. They all 
represent a part of your own conditioned response to generosity. When you give for the sake of having a generous spirit and 
extending love, and for no other reason, then those inner doubts 
will fade away. I am often criticized when I give money on the street 
to an obvious drug addict. When my critic says, “They are only 
going to buy more drugs with that money,” my response is, “What 
they do with the money has nothing to do with why I gave them the 
161 
WAYNE W. DYER 
money. This one human being connecting to another in a spirit of 
love might be that single act of kindness and generosity that will 
bring them closer to God, where genuine healing takes place. ” 
Give yourself designated times and periods of time to practice being 
generous, particularly in offering service or in giving of your time. I sometimes notice my young son out playing soccer by himself, 
kicking the ball and wishing in his heart that he had someone to play 
with. I remind myself to forget about the zillion things that I have to 
do, my state of fatigue, my desire to watch a video or whatever, and I 
designate the next several hours to simply sharing my time with him. It is not because I am so magnanimous but because it is my opportu- 
nity to practice being generous with my time and my love. It also 
provides me with the glorious opportunity to do something I really 
love, which is to be with my boy, whom I love dearly. Practice being able to receive. Accept help when others offer it. Allow others to do for you without feeling embarrassed or without 
feeling that your independence is threatened. Remember that giving 
and receiving are the natural interplay of the energy of the universe. It is the very source of your manifestation practice. If you turn off the receiving side, you cut the natural flow of 
energy just as if you turned off the giving side. Practice saying 
“Thank you, I appreciate your help” even if your independent ego 
says “I didn’t really need it. ” Receiving is very much a component 
of the spiritual practice of manifestation, and you can work at 
allowing this into your life with gratitude and love. Catch yourself at the specific moment of your scarcity conscious- 
ness and use this moment to work on your new generosity. When 
you are perceiving scarcity, your immediate inclination is to hoard, 
162 
Manifest Your Destiny 
but following through by hoarding only amplifies the effects of your 
feeling stingy and fearful. This might involve something as simple as tipping beyond what is 
expected, or it might involve extending love or a compliment to 
those on whom you practice your scarcity behavior. In these 
moments, work on your highest self, which wants you to experience 
joy and peace and extend a bit of unaccustomed generosity. Remind 
yourself that a generous spirit infuses the mind with joy and 
strength. This is precisely how you will feel when you have over- 
come your conditioned response of hoarding and stinginess. Practice giving just a bit more than you think you can, and a bit 
more than your own comfort level allows. Increase your patience 
with a child, hold your spouse in a passionate embrace for just a bit 
longer than a superficial squeeze, give an extra dollar or two to the 
maid who took care of you during your hotel visit. Whatever you have convinced yourself is the limit of your gen- 
erosity, try going beyond it, knowing full well that it is not going to 
cause any great hardship in your life. Know, too, that it will give you 
that sense of spiritual fulfillment that makes you feel more Godlike 
and which is actually putting you in touch with your highest self. You can practice a little bit more generosity with yourself than 
you are normally accustomed to. Order the item on the menu that 
costs a bit more, or give yourself a few extra days on your vacation 
trip, or allow yourself the luxury of a body massage or a facial. EXTENDING YOUR GENEROSITY INTO SERVICE AS A 
WAY OF LIFE 
We all live in this world with other people, and our encounters 
and relationships with them are a central component and influence 
163 
WAYNE W. DYER 
on ourselves and each other. “Service” is a word that is not com- 
monly thought of as a part of our way of being in ordinary relation- 
ships. Service simply cannot be separated from relationships. We will 
all benefit from making this a conscious activity of our everyday lives 
in relationship to God, our fellow human beings, our environment 
and ourselves. Millions of fibers connect us to our fellow human beings, and our 
actions connect us via these fibers to all others on our planet. When 
you cultivate an attitude of gratitude and generosity, you will find | 
yourself wanting to be in the service of others. You will find it natural 
to extend that which you receive into the service of others as well. If you receive a great teaching, you will want to teach it to others. If you receive love, you will wish to extend that love unconditionally 
outward. Your relationships will automatically be felt as gifts for the 
service of others. When you contemplate the purpose of your life in the material 
plane, you will discover that the only thing you can do with this life is 
to give it away. You cannot hang onto anything in a constantly chang- 
ing universe. You cannot lay claim to anything. It is all transitory. The 
only part of you that is permanent is the part that is unchanging, and 
that is the spiritual essence that resides in an unseen dimension. You 
will find your purpose and your strength when you see that you are in 
a relationship with all other living things, and that you are purposeful 
and peaceful when you serve in some capacity. The very purpose of manifesting is to serve more fully and to leave 
ego-dominated self-absorption behind. Your well-being, which is the 
purpose of your manifesting practice, is genuinely and inextricably 
connected to the lives and well-being of others. Essentially, your own 
interests are inseparable from someone else’s interests. It is out of this state of recognizing our fundamental interconnect- 
edness that we realize we are all in a constant state of service to each 
164 
Manifest Your Destiny 
other. It is this awareness that you want to keep uppermost in your 
mind as you generate this principle of spiritual manifesting. Service at its very basic core is an inner choice ‘to offer a helpful 
and healing attitude to others as well as to ourselves. A natural out- 
growth of feeling grateful for our daily life manifestations is experi- 
encing the inclination to be generous. Gratitude, generosity and an 
awareness of service as our purpose are the fundamental tenets of 
this last principle. By turning the purpose of your life into one of service and leaving 
behind your self-absorption, you discover the irony of manifesting. The more you choose to be of service, the more profoundly you 
experience unconditional love, and the more you find materializing 
into your life. Service is best thought of as a continual focus in your life rather 
than being limited to certain kinds of giving activities and the sharing 
in relationships. Service is a state of mind that expresses love rather 
than fear, and trust rather than distrust. It is focusing on meeting all 
others as equals with whom we share a spiritual identity. This inner 
attitude of love reveals itself in action. When I accept a speaking engagement, I want to be love revealing 
itself in action, generously sharing what I have been given. I find that 
when I am about to address a large audience the best way for me to 
get outside my ego, which is focused on its own rewards, such as 
applause, making money and receiving awards, is to meditate for an 
hour before my talk. The mantra I repeat during my meditation is 
“How may I serve. ” Over and over I say these words to myself until 
they blend into a peaceful inner countenance. When I go on stage to 
speak, my attention is focused on serving and is not caught by my 
ego. In this state of mind I enjoy a loving guidance that supports me 
in serving those who are in the audience. Service does not require that you become a Mother Teresa. You 
165 
WAYNE W. DYER 
serve by suspending your ego and extending the love that now fills 
that space. It can take a million different forms, but when practiced 
with authenticity, from the heart, it makes all that has manifested 
into your life appear worthwhile. The only problem that you will encounter with a service approach 
to your life is in attempting to give or serve without love. The 
moment that you put a condition on your service, or ask something 
in return, or expect your extension of the offer to serve to be 
returned with the appropriate thank-you response, you introduce | 
conditional rather than unconditional love. The imposition of the 
condition makes service empty. If you are going to serve, ask yourself if you can love the human 
being you are serving. If you cannot, then do not give lovelessly but 
simply pass and send them a silent blessing. If you feel someone is 
panhandling simply out of laziness and work avoidance, and this is 
your heartfelt feeling, then do not give. Service without love is obli- 
gation, and it carries guilt and anger and resentment along with it. Work at being in a state of unconditional love with your service 
efforts, and when love is not authentically present, acknowledge that 
as well. This concludes the ninth principle of spiritual manifesting. Be willing 
to take all that is attracted to you as a result of your practicing the 
manifesting principles, and then turn right around and in a spirit of 
gratitude and generosity devote yourself to an act of service. The more 
you practice in this light, the more you will see the objects of your 
desire coming to fruition regularly. There need be no conflict between 
your spiritual awareness of wanting to serve and the presence of 
desires within you. As Rumi observed almost a millennium ago, 
“People who renounce desires often turn, suddenly, into hypocrites. ” 
166 
Manifest Your Destiny 
You do have desires, both on a material level and in terms of 
becoming more spiritually loving and generous in the service of oth- 
ers. There need be no conflict. I want to close this final principle with another observation by 
Rumi titled “The Servant Who Loved His Prayers. ” It sums up all 
that I have written, not only here in this final principle on gratitude, 
generosity and service, but in this entire book. Read the words care- 
fully, and as you close the book and go to work on your own spiritual 
manifestation program, reread this passage by Jalaluddin Rumi, who 
was born in the year 1207 in the Persian Empire in what is now 
called Afghanistan. It will remind you of your role in all of this, a role 
that is only limited by the restrictions you place on your spiritual 
awareness. The Servant Who Loved His Prayers 
At dawn a certain rich man 
wanted to go to the steambaths. He woke his servant, Sunqur, 
“Ho. Get Moving. Get the basin 
and the towels and the clay for washing 
and let’s go to the baths. ” 
Sunqur immediately collected what was needed, 
and they set out side by side along the road. As they passed the mosque, the call to prayer sounded. Sunqur loved his five-times prayer. “Please, master, 
rest on this bench for a while that I may recite sura 98, 
which begins, 
“You who treat your slave with kindness. ’” 
The master sat on the bench outside while Sunqur went in. When prayers were over, and the priest and all the worshipers 
167 
WAYNE W. DYER 
had left, still Sungqur remained inside. The master waited 
and waited. Finally he yelled into the mosque, 
“Sunqur,, 
why don’t you come out. ” 
“T can’t. This clever one 
won’t let me. Have a little more patience. I hear you out there. ” 
Seven times the master waited, 
and then shouted. Sunqur’s reply was always the same, 
“Not yet. He won’t let me come out yet. ” 
“But there’s no one 
in there but you. Everyone else has left. Who makes you sit still so long. ” 
“The one who keeps me in here is the one 
who keeps you out there. The same who will not let you in will not let me out. ” 
The ocean will not allow its fish out of itself. Nor does it let land animals in 
where the subtle and delicate fish move. The land creatures lumber along on the ground. No cleverness can change this. There’s only one 
opener for the lock of these matters. Forget your figuring. Forget your self. Listen to your Friend. When you become totally obedient to that one, 
you'll be free. May you always swim in the ocean of abundance while manifesting 
your own divine destiny. Listen to your friend. 168 
A Summary of the Nine Principles 
I would like you to see all nine principles in the same place so that you 
can refer to them often as well as see how they comprise a step-by- 
step program for implementing a spiritual manifestation awareness 
for yourself. Each principle flows to the next, and if you apply them in 
this sequential manner, I can guarantee that you will begin to view 
yourself as an absolute miracle, an individual who is connected to the 
universal all-pervading spirit in such a firm manner that you know 
you are a co-creator of your own life and all that is attracted into it. THE NINE PRINCIPLES
