To do this Dr. Wayne W. Dyer instructs others on how to free their higher self from their ego. Part 1 includes making the decision to be free, recognizing the limitations of the past and releasing old beliefs.
He urges us to take responsibility for our own thoughts and attitudes. Once people do that, they can go one step further to change them if they’re negative.
Part 2 involves the four keys to higher awareness and how to put them into practice. Part 3 explains how to transcend our ego identities. Part 4 is called Toward An Egoless World.
Everyone is Connected
When people accept that we’re all connected, they stop seeing themselves in conflict with people. They show more compassion towards others and they’re treated like the valuable equals they are.
Because they’re more patient and understanding with themselves and others, they’re also less critical and judgmental. There’s no longer a need to compare and/or prove who’s better if everyone is equal.
Toxic Thinking
How do people banish doubts and fears or change their toxic thoughts, habits and behaviors? Dr. Dyer teaches us ways to get rid of negative thinking once and for all. There are several useful suggestions in Your Sacred Self, Dr. Wayne W. Dyer, 1995, Harper Collins Publishers, ISBN-13: 9780061094750, that show how to change negative thoughts into positive ones.
He urges others not to be baited into petty arguments just to prove who’s right or wrong, People move away from peace when they compete, judge, compare, argue and pressure themselves with rushing around and deadlines.
Is More Better?
The ego continues consuming while the higher self is satisfied and at peace. Dyer challenges the misconception many have that the more you have, the better you are. If people are too preoccupied with material possessions, they may even start to see human beings as objects.
Affects on Body
Stress contributes towards over eating, drinking and other addictions. Once free from ego based addictive thinking patterns, people are more likely to treat their bodies with kindness instead of filling them with poisons.
Ways to Transcend Self
- Give more instead of focusing on receiving.
- Make an effort to listen carefully to people instead of worrying about what you’re going to say next.
- Think about how to serve others instead of how others can serve you.
Your Sacred Self is one of the best books that clearly outlines how to be at peace by accepting others and ourselves. The four keys to higher awareness were most helpful because they include specific suggestions on how to put them into practice.
Dr.Wayne W. Dyer wrote 30 books on self development. Some of them include Pulling Your Own Strings, The Sky’s The Limit, Your Erroneous Zones, There’s a Spiritual Solution to Every Problem, You’ll See it When You Believe it and Real Magic.
