Neville's Influence on Wayne Dyer

Wayne said that he had read Neville's book The Power of Awareness seven times. In his Wishes Fulfilled television documentary, he shared the following from the book's final chapter:

In all creation, in all eternity, in all the realms of your infinite being the most wonderful fact is that which is stressed in the first chapter of this book. You are God. You are the "I am that I am." You are consciousness. You are the creator. This is the mystery, this is the great secret known by the seers, prophets, and mystics throughout the ages. This is the truth that you can never know intellectually.

Wishes Fulfilled Documentary

In his Wishes Fulfilled book, Dyer reveals how imagination, faith and assumption can help us create change by living from the end result we desire.

In the documentary, Wayne spoke about his response to being diagnosed with chronic lymphocytic leukemia. He explained that, rather than identifying himself with illness, he continued to imagine and affirm himself as well, frequently repeating the words, “I AM WELL.”

When describing this approach, he shared the following passage from Neville:

Disregard appearances, conditions, in fact disregard all evidence of your senses that deny the fulfillment of your desire. Rest in the assumption that you already are what you want to be. For in that determined assumption, you and your infinite being are merged in creative unity. And with your infinite being (God) all things are possible.

Wayne went on to say: 

God never fails and YOU are a piece of that which never fails.

Therefore to incarnate a new and a greater value of yourself you must assume that you already are what you want to be and then live by faith in this assumption.

Wayne died of a heart attack on August 30, 2015. His family later reported that the coroner’s examination had found no trace of leukemia in his body.

Living the Wish Fulfilled

Wayne had a remarkable ability to translate Neville’s ideas into clear, everyday language. He applied those teachings in his own life and introduced them to countless people who might otherwise never have encountered or understood them.

More than simply teaching Neville’s principles, Wayne embodied them. He combined Neville’s wisdom with his own distinctive voice and used it to create a meaningful, inspiring life.

Beside his bed, he kept one of Neville’s most memorable quotes:

Make your future dream a present fact by assuming the feeling of the wish fulfilled.

Wayne Dyer appears to have taken those words to heart. Through the life he created and the wisdom he shared, he became an inspiration to millions.
