Wayne W. Dyer - Real Magic: Creating Miracles in Everyday Life

What if you slept?

And what if,

in your sleep

you dreamed?

And what if,

in your dream,

you went to heaven

and there plucked

a strange and

beautiful flower?

And what if,

when you awoke,

you had the flower

in your hand?

S AMUEL T AYLOR C OLERIDGE

This is a book about miracles. It is not a book about other peoples miracles, but about you, the reader, and how you can create miracles for yourself in your own life. It is not about luck nor is it about being one of a chosen few who have had miracles show up in their lives. This book was written with the express purpose of showing you the way to create what you may have previously thought to be impossible in your life.

This is a very personal book. I have seen the way to real magic in my own life and I have taken great care to detail what I believe to be the essential ingredients for creating a life filled with miracles. I have gone beyond believing in miracles, to a place that I call knowing.

Knowing in this sense is something we all have experienced. For instance, if I stay away from my bicycle for several months, I become aware of my knowingness of riding when I next go for a bicycle ride. I pump up the tires and off I go, balancing myself perfectly on those thin wheels and moving effortlessly through the streets, riding no-handed with full confidence, turning corners sharply and generally maneuvering my way through the streets with complete abandon. When I get on my bicycle, I do not have a goal of being able to balance myself again after all those months, I do not have a belief I can ride it, I have an internal knowing, and I proceed to act based upon that powerful knowing.

I feel the very same way about your ability to manifest miracles in your life. You can learn to go way beyond believing and goal setting, to a new place within yourself: the place of knowing. It is in this realm of your mind that miracles are produced.

Deep within you is a unified field of limitless possibilities. When you become competent at going to this wondrous place you will discover an entirely new realm of human experience where all things are possible. It is here that real magic takes place and you can begin to manifest all you seek in your physical world. Limits simply do not exist, and you seem always to be at the right place at precisely the right time. It is here that you make synchronistic unbelievable connections with others and can almost read the thoughts of those around you. It is here that you are capable of meeting exactly the right person to help you on your own personal path at exactly the right time. It is here that whatever or whoever is necessary to create prosperity and abundance in your life appears. It is here that the precise cure for your ailments shows up, or the right book or tape arrives into your life as if guided to you by some invisible, mysterious force.

In this place of higher awareness, the mystery begins to disappear and your purpose in life becomes very clear to you. Your relationships miraculously shift to new levels of spiritual partnership. Your business endeavors begin to flow and you start to make decisions with less and less effort. You begin to rid yourself of toxins and get your physical life on a healthy rather than a disease plane.

This book is my effort to show you how to go about creating this higher level of awareness. I have written what I consider a blueprint to assist you in developing this awareness and applying it to all aspects of your life, including your personal relationships and your relationship to the larger world.

The plan of nature seems to be nothing more than a slow and steady unfoldment of consciousness. A stone is alive with atoms, just like you are, but it has no perceptible awareness. It is immune to feeling kicked or pulverized. It appears to be unaware. A plant is aware of the conditions of the soil, the seasons and the humidity, and it will bloom with the spring sunlight. It is aware but very limited.

Animals, when compared with minerals and vegetables, have more developed levels of awareness. Many animals exhibit an awareness of the seasons in their ability to migrate, of danger in their ability to elude predators, and of deep caring and love in relationships with their mates and their young.

And then there are humans, who have the ultimate awareness of choice. We can choose to function at a lower level of awareness and simply exist, caring for our possessions, eating, drinking, sleeping and managing in the world as pawns of the elements, or we can soar to new and higher levels of awareness allowing ourselves to transcend our environment and literally create a world of our owna world of real magic. Within each of us is the ultimate awareness offering a certain kind of victory over the material world: the capability of finding equilibrium in every set of circumstances. The lesson of this book is very simpleyou are capable of achieving perfect equilibrium of the mind. The path requires a commitment to your own inner transformation.

Your inner transformation cannot be completed from an intellectual or scientific perspective. Instruments of limitation will not reveal the limitless. This is a job for your mind and your soul, the invisible segment of you that is always there but often ignored in favor of that which you can grasp with your senses.

The first part of this book provides the foundation for realigning yourself in the invisible world. It is here that you will gain mastery over your mind and set the stage for manifesting miracles in that highest stage of awareness which is yours for the knowing. Once you have learned to realign yourself, you begin the process of experimenting with this new miracle mind-set and watching with awe as your world begins falling into perfect order.

The second part of this book focuses on putting into practice that which you have committed yourself to in your mind. It guides you in the actual manifestation of miracles, and in living your daily life at the highest state of equilibrium. Here I have concluded each chapter with a section on specific suggestions for accessing miracles in your life.

During the early years of the U.S. space program Wernher von Braun encouraged Space Center employees to know that there is perfect order in the universe. Mankind and mankind alone can understand that order. This thought was a powerful stimulus when problems seemed insurmountable. You, as a part of mankind, can understand this perfect order and actually choose to align yourself with it. This is the context of Real Magic. I know about that perfect order and I want you to experience it too.

The way to understanding is through your willingness to reach your own highest state of awareness, using that awareness to get your life on purpose, and radiating that awareness to everyone in your life. It is primarily a mental trip so powerful that it can affect the material world with its miraculous magical powers. But you must be willing to go within and discover it for yourself. My words will not make it true. Only experiencing what I am writing about will make it your reality.
