Hay House I Can See Clearly Now

thank you again dr Dyer for the delightful reading of your book, which somehow makes us relive the extatic moments many of us readers must have had when reading every one of your instructive and inspiring writings.

1941年から2012年まで、58章にわたり、ダイアーが経験した出来事が時系列で書かれています(1940年生まれ）。 そして各章の最後に、I Can See Clearly Now (今だからわかる、のような感じかな）ということで、その当時の出来事が彼の今、にどのような影響を与えたかが述べられています。 人生には単なるアクシデントはない、人に起こる出来事は、すべて必要なことしか起こらないのだ、（そして、なぜ自分がこんな目に? というような思考から脱出する）ということが本書の大きなテーマの一つだと思いますが、70数年の実際の人生経験をもとに述べられていますので、非常に説得力があります。 自分にとっては、最初は戸惑い、疑いながらも何度も読んだ、Real Magic, Manifest Your Destiny (& Meditations for Manifesting), The Power of Intention, などがどのような経緯で生まれたのか知ることが出来、非常に感銘を受けました。 長年疑問だった、どうして同じようなテーマで何冊も本を出すのだろう、ということの答えが、少し分かった気がします。 父親に捨てられ、職場のしきたりになじむことが出来ず、パートナーとの別離、無気力、病気、などなど避けられない出来事についても書かれていますが、彼はそれでも、いや、それだからこそ人生は素晴らしく、完璧なのだ、と言っています。 自分はまだそんな境地ではないけれど、少々似たような出来事も経験し、そうだよな、と最近は少しだけ分かったような、ほっとしたような感じを味わえるようになりました。 あと、時間なんてなく、過去、現在、未来が同時発生的に今起こっている、など、いろいろな方が書かれているテーマも多いですが、どうしてそう理解できるようになったのか、読んでいるうちに人生を先取りできるような、何が起こっても大丈夫なんだと思わせられるという点でも、読んで良かったと思います。 この本は、全てが理解できるような本ではないと思います。もしすべてが理解できるなら、生きる必要がないように思えるから。 でも、興味を持たれた方はきっと、その時々で琴線に触れる箇所がきっとあるのではないでしょうか。 ダイアーもそうやって生きてきたんだな、あとからわかることもあるだろうから、安心していていいんだな、大事なことを教えてくれてありがとう、と言いたくなります。 個人的な述懐が多いので、米語的な表現が少し分かり辛い点はありますが、ダイアーファンの方にとっては記念碑的な1冊になるのではないでしょうか。 訳書が出るなら、こういう分野の素養がある方で、原文に忠実なのを読んでみたいです。。

I want to state right at the outset, and although this is obvious to many, it seems that some people know that this is an autobiography, yet do not UNDERSTAND that this is an autobiography. What I am saying is that previous books written by Wayne Dyer focus on an idea, issue, etc. in which some personal experiences are shared. This book is about Wayne’s journey through life and that necessitates a frequent use of "I." Personally, I did not find this book self-aggrandizing, and people who read biographies can likely relate to the style in which, I can See Clearly Now, is written; however, people that expect this book to be written in Wayne’s traditional style need to be conscientious of this "different" perspective. Now that the caveat is out of the way, for those familiar with Wayne’s work, you will find numerous stories and anecdotes that he has shared during his 40+ years or writing and sharing...it’s hard to believe that Your Erroneous Zones came out in the mid-70’s!!! Many of the stories and personal experiences that have been shared during Wayne’s journey are finally compiled in one place, in a chronological order, that is easy to follow. Wayne starts out with the early days in Detroit where he lived in an orphanage, his days in school and then he progresses through his post-secondary years, his time in the navy, and then through the creation of his 41 books. Along the way Wayne shares the encounters he has had with some of the significant “change agents” in his life, people like: Mother Teresa, Ken Keys Jr., Viktor Frankl, Guruji, Edwarda, Abraham Maslow and so many others. The names however, are not as important as the messages that came with them. It seems that every time a new person intersected Wayne’s path there was a new unfoldment, a new way of seeing the world. Some of the encounters were pleasant, some not so much, yet all the encounters contained new seeds of experience that helped Wayne expand his consciousness. As his consciousness grew so too did his writing evolve from the physical/cerebral world into the world of the subconscious/spiritual . Going from Your Erroneous Zones to his later books, such as The Power of Intention or Wishes Fulfilled, there is a definite shift. I would concur with Wayne’s own conclusion that there is a Divine hand in this process and that all of the events in his journey have “conspired” to carry him along the path that he needed to travel to fulfill his dharma. Although hindsight is the rest stop we don’t get to enjoy until after the bumpy roads are behind us, the fact that we can “see clearly”, even after-the-fact, is a blessing that we can share with others as they travel on their own bumpy roads. The fact that Wayne is sharing his road map is the most significant aspect of I can See Clearly Now: the reader gets to share in experiences that can connect us on a universal/soul level. In other words, Wayne candidly shares his experiences AND these then form the foundation of an idea/concept/lesson that others can benefit from. I am grateful that Wayne wrote and shared I Can See Clearly Now. From the perspective of a curious onlooker - I enjoyed reading about Wayne’s personal journey thus far - and I also enjoyed this book from the perspective of a student of life – learning as I go. To emphasize some of my previous ramblings, I Can See Clearly Now is definitely written from different perspective than Dr. Wayne Dyer’s other books: this is an autobiography. If you have read and enjoyed Wayne Dyer’s other books AND you are curious to learn more about his personal experiences then you will likely enjoy I Can See Clearly Now. On the other hand, if you are looking for a book that is exclusively a “how-to” book, or simply another book from Wayne Dyer that is written in the same style as his earlier books, then I Can See Clearly Now might not be the book you are looking for. As a side note, ironically and synchronistically perhaps, before the release of “I Can See Clearly Now” was announced, I was reading another book by Dr. Dyer and thought that it would be wonderful to have more insight, in a chronological order, into Wayne’s life. Well, it is said “Ask and ye shall receive” and perhaps one could even take that a step further and say “Think and ye shall receive” because in this case my thoughts were answered and I now have the book I had hoped for.

I must confess that Wayne Dyer has been one of my spiritual teachers for some time. In this book he describes how he has grown throughout his life from the small boy experiencing the absences of his father within his home, and the implications of this to him and his family and how this all relates to the spiratual man he is today. He describes how experiences within his life have been monumental to the man that he understands himself to be now. Hence the title 'I Can See Clearly Now' As I read through the book I got to know and understand the man who I have always viewed as an inspiration. I note that he has worked extremely hard to overcome obstacles and attitudes. WDyer believes that we are all here as spiritual beings having a human experience, and throughout this book he shares his mission here on earth to help each individual become the best they can be. Unlike his other self help books though, I Can See Clearly Now explores his personal journey in more detail. I got to know the man more and his dedication to healing and growth. I now understand through his reflections how the small boy, became the counsellor, the teacher and spiritual man, and how each experience in his life helped support his journey. Ultimately as I read this book, I too could see a lot clearer, as I reflected through events in my own life which brought about change. And as Mr Dyer would often quote throughout many of his books including this one....if you change the way you look at things the things you look at change.. A definite must read for all Wayne Dyer fans and if your just new to this author you quite possibly will see your life in a much more synchronistic way than ever before...enjoy...

A compelling read. Many life altering perspectives have been offered by Dr Wayne Dyer and they are lessons for life which can be re read many times.
