Wayne Dyer - There Is a Spiritual Solution to Every Problem

In this state of unity consciousness you no longer view your life circumstances as problems. You understand the magic in Rumi’s famous poem The Guest House , which illustrates poetically what I am writing about here. Problems cannot exist in our lives when we view life from the faster spiritual vibrations that Rumi posits.

THE GUEST HOUSE

This being human is a guest house.

Every morning a new arrival.

A joy, a depression, a meanness,

Some momentary awareness comes

As an unexpected visitor.

Welcome and entertain them all!

Even if they’re a crowd of sorrows,

Who violently sweep your house

Empty of its furniture,

Still, treat each guest honorably.

He may be clearing you out

For some new delight.

The dark thought, the shame, the malice,

Meet them at the door laughing,

And invite them in.

Be grateful for whoever comes,

Because each has been sent

As a guide from beyond.

( The Essential Rumi; translated by Coleman Barks; HarperCollins, 1995; p. 104)

In unity consciousness you see yourself as connected rather than separate. You know that there are no accidents and you process each event of your life from that perspective. Energy impacts us at all times, and the frequency at which that energy moves determines our physical, mental, and spiritual health.

Take some time now to remind yourself of this first necessary fundamental awareness: Everything vibrates, everything moves.

Valerie Hunt, writing about spiritual enlightenment in her fascinating book Infinite Mind makes this observation: “In my laboratory, we found that when a person’s energy field reaches the highest, most complex vibrations, from imaging or meditation, that person had spiritual experiences, regardless of their beliefs.” To create spiritual solutions you must at least tentatively accept this idea of energy vibrations which you have some degree of power to raise. The faster and more complex the frequency, the more you approach the world of invisible spirit and can nullify slower vibrational situations.

Dr. Valerie Hunt is a scientist and a physiological researcher of human energy fields. Her conclusions are almost identical to a man who many consider to be a spiritual master. His name is Sathya Sai Baba, a divine master who possesses the gift of fish and loaves and has devotees from all over the world. Born in 1926, Sai Baba has spent his life teaching and disseminating unconditional love and peace from his ashram in southern India. He tells his many followers, “Human energy is low and the divine energy is without limit. You are God. You are the divine energy when you do the divine work. Your energy grows.”

Here we have Hunt’s scientific, and Sai Baba’s spiritual, philosophy, offering us a grand view of invisible energy as a fast-moving frequency that, when embraced, escorts us into the reaches of the divine. Their insights emphasize the value of freeing ourselves from the negative impact of slower, more mundane human vibrations. These abilities of the higher-level mind appear to be beyond the domain of material or physical reality as we are accustomed to measuring it. Mind may indeed have different characteristics than the brain in that its vibration is not measurable by material devices. The higher mind is like a field that transcends the physical reality of the brain. As you explore the presence of spirit in your life as a faster, more complex energy frequency, consider that the highest levels of the mind contain the capacities of insight, imagination, creativity, and spiritual consciousness . The mind is a higher construct and it can be thought of as infinite and omnipresent.

What I want you to do here is imagine that your mind, perhaps separate from the brain, is like a fast vibrating field of invisible energy that is not located any one place, and is capable of being an unlimited experience. “The mind experiences and the brain records,” is how Wilder Penfield describes it in his epic book The Mystery of The Mind . Consequently, when I speak of energy, and vibrational frequencies, I am now speaking about your mind , the infinite experience, not simply your brain. It is your mind, which indeed may be separate from your brain, that you are going to train to move at a faster frequency so as to bring spiritual solutions to your problems. I do not wish to make this into a deeply scientific discussion. I just want to introduce you to the idea that the faster frequencies correspond with moving up the scale from solid, to sound, to light, to spirit, and it is in spirit that you will find your peace.

Think about what it is like to be around people who seem to possess these highest capacities of the mind. When we observe someone who has deep insight we can become easily transfixed. The person of deep insight who touches your soul with his words and ignites feelings of love and appreciation is vibrating at a faster energy frequency.

This quality of insight is an ingredient of the higher (and thus faster) mind. These deep insights do not have to be in esoteric fields such as quantum physics or nuclear science. I recall talking with a professional football player who had great insight in how to construct defenses against passing formations. I knew that he was talking and experiencing life in his realm from a high frequency. People who know how to be peaceful and loving regardless of the outer circumstances appear to have greater insight into how to live their daily life. They can have a profound effect on those whom they encounter.

The higher energy frequencies in your mind contain the seeds of imagination and creativity. The more creative you become the faster the frequency of your energy field and the more you can access the invisible world of spirit to annul the lower energy that produces what we construe as problems. Often we use the word problem only because we have not learned that imagination and creativity can handle the situation.

I received a letter several years ago from a woman in Oregon who was facing what most of us would consider a major problem. I reproduce the letter here so that you can see how this problem was turned into a blessing by bringing creativity and spirit to the painful situation.

Dear Wayne;

I don’t even know how to begin this letter. I wrote to you back in 1996 because my son was missing. He had gotten into the world of drugs and had slipped away. At the time I wrote to you I was distraught and panicked. I also was trying to start an organization to help others find their children turned of age who have fallen prey to drug addiction.

You very kindly wrote me back and your first sentence stated, “You will be directed to Jeff! Know this beyond anything resembling doubt.”

I kept that letter with me at all times. I ran those words over and over in my mind while holding the vision of Jeff and I embracing when I found him. Everyone I spoke with told me Jeff probably wouldn’t want to see me, or he would be mad at me, or he would run from me. I never believed that. I knew that when we saw each other face to face we would talk and come to an understanding if nothing else.

Now for the good news. I did indeed find Jeff. When we saw each other face to face the vision that I had held became a reality. He hugged me, told me he loved me, spoke to me of his pain, his longing to live a different life, then walked with me out of the drug world. We are now starting an agency together, called “Third Option,” to help other parents reconnect with their children.

I wrote an article in the “My Turn” column of Newsweek that ran in the August 18, 1997, edition. From that article we were asked to appear on Primetime Live, Good Morning America , CNBC, and many other shows. From that we have just signed a contract to have our story made into a movie. Also, I have written a book that I hope will be published called, “To Jeff, Love, Mom.” When the proceeds come from those things we will have the money to get our organization up and running in the form that we envision. Already we have helped a couple of parents locate their children and have counseled a dozen more. Jeff just finished up a case in San Francisco.
