The Shift

Self-help master Wayne W. Dyer reveals the key change that transforms our lives and how to realise it. The Shift represents the major transition that takes place in every person's life. It is a shift away from being dominated by ego, accumulations, achievements and approval ... to feeling purposeful and meaningful every day. As you read, you'll find that you are less caught up in the material world and that you are more inclined to connect with your true spiritual essence. Each chapter in this fascinating book concludes with ways to incorporate this material into your daily life. The powerful move away from the ego constructs that we're taught early in life by parents and society - which promote achievement and accumulation - are shown in contrast to a life of meaning, focused on serving and giving back. With The Shift , you'll learn that living life for others means living life for yourself.

The Shift --a companion book to the movie of the same name--illustrates how and why to make the move from ambition to meaning. Such a shift eliminates our feelings of separateness, illuminates our spiritual connectedness, and involves moving from the ego-directed morning into the afternoon of life where everything is primarily influenced by purpose. As we contemplate leaving the morning of our life, where ego has played a commanding role, and entering the afternoon (and evening), where meaning and purpose replace ambition and struggle, we may encounter unexpected occurrences that accompany this new direction. It's almost a universal law that we'll experience a fall of some kind. Yet these falls or low points provide the energy we need to move away from ego and into a life of meaning and purpose. The Shift doesn't mean that we lose our drive and ambition; it signifies that we become ambitious about something new. We make a commitment to living a life based on experiencing meaning and feeling purposeful, rather than never-ending demands and false promises that are the trademark of the ego's agenda. As Dr. Wayne W. Dyer so eloquently reveals in these pages, we all have the choice to shift our lives from ambition to meaning . . . and thereby complete our return to the Source that created us.

There is a video of a child struggling with terror in the sea. He is crying and his arms are flailing. His face is contorted in fear. It looks, from the perspective of the camera, as though the child is drowning. And then along comes another child who calmly, laughing even, grabs hold of the drowning child's feet and places them on the sea bed. The drowning child is now standing up and the water barely reaches his thighs. He was never in any actual risk. And yet, in the perception of danger, in a mind lost in the belief of drowning, with behaviour responding to perception rather than reality, he could have drowned. This is an apt metaphor for the struggle that is the nature of the human condition. The Struggle takes place when a mind and body create an experience of being that is completely out of alignment with reality. In The Shift we explore how a mind lost in the fight with its own created reality settles into the profound presence, love and truth that is its sane state. It is the end the of the on-going attempt to secure a fragile sense of self by controlling emotions and experience, turning life into an on-going revelation of the thought-created nature of self and reality and of the unchanging truth of existence that is prior to thought. This is the truth of profound mental health.
