The "Dyer Dozen" for Reconnecting to Source
Dr. Wayne Dyer
Notes by Maryam Webster
1) Want more for others than you want for yourself. Whatever you perceive to be missing, want that MORE for others and it will automatically come to you as the first recipient. (Maryam's Note: This is both one of the central tenets of coaching and is cognate to the Buddhist concept of Bodhichitta or generating the Compassionate Mind of Enlightenment. One facet of which is: "May all beings know joy and the roots of joy, may all beings know peace and the roots of peace, may all beings know an end to suffering and connection to the greater Source. May I know all these things...")
2) Think from the end. Begin to see yourself surrounded by people and events and things that constitute your perfect life. "Act as if" it has already happened. Because all that you need, you already have.
3) Be an appreciator in your life. Look for that which is valuable rather than worthless. When you depreciate you take value away, when you appreciate, you add value. Make it a point therefore to always add value. (Maryam's Note: Constantly "adding value" is a central tenet of coaching! What could be more value than being connected to Source?) Appreciate the Source of all things and you begin to add more resources to your life that resonate with Source.
4) Stay in rapport with Source Energy. Constantly reminding you of connection is how Source thinks.
5) Resistance is deviation from the Source. Every thought you have that is different from the Source you originated from is resistance. Fear, anger, shame, depression, can't, won't, shouldn't, are all resistance. Love, happiness, joy, tenderness are all Source inspired. You are what you believe and you will have in your life whatever you believe you can have. (Maryam's Coaching Note: Choose then to endorse only the highest and best thoughts, goals, dreams and aspirations for yourself.)
6) Contemplate yourself surrounded by the conditions you want to produce. You are one with Source and can create anything you desire. Source can't be anything other than it is, neither can you. Your base material is the All That Is.
7) Understand the art of allowing. Taking the path of least resistance. Every thought with resistance in it, creates path of least allowing. Are you pulling energy from Source or pushing against the Flow?
8) Practice radical humility. You are not the body or mind you are in. You are not the posessions you have, you are the Divine Source. Come home to your real self and realize that you are no better or worse than anyone else.
9) Stay in a constant state of gratitude: stay in a state of being generous and grateful. Rumi said: "Trade your knowldege for bewilderment" Be in constant awe and wonder at the generosity and beauty of life and be grateful for it. (Maryam's Coaching Note: The more gratitude you generate, the more life will flow generosity towards you.)
10) Keep in mind that you can never resolve a problem by condemning it. When you use shame, you are using the lowest energy out in the universe. You can't shame your way into the Source just like no amount of poverty you live in can lift anyone else up out of poverty. Be the example you wish to see in the world.
11) Play the match game - always ask do I match Source in my intention?
12) Meditate: The quiet mind is your way of staying connected to Source. You cannot divide Source/God. Everything else has a polarity/dichotomy except for silence. You cut silence in half and you get more silence. Cut Source in half and you get more Source. You can't divide it. Stay in the Gap. (Maryam's Note: Meditate, and stay in the quiet mind of englightenment that hangs in the gap between silence and words where the Source optimally operates.)
