Dr. Wayne Dyer - Forgiveness 

I had a choice of videos to watch tonight, and I chose this one. Of course, I’ve heard of Dr. Wayne Dyer, and I’ve even watched some of his other videos here on RU-vid. But I didn’t set out to watch one of his videos tonight, and, in fact, I was going to listen to some music to help me go to sleep. But something inside gently nudged me to watch this vid before I went to find some relaxing sleep music. I give you all this preliminary set-up to tell y’all this: I live in Biloxi, Mississippi, and I’m less than 10 minutes away from where Dr. Dwyer’s father is buried. This topic of forgiveness is not something I’ve mastered toward my own father, who was a Latvian refugee, and was sponsored along with his family to come to the US about 5 years after the end of WW II. This resettlement to the Mississippi Delta (of all places) was certainly difficult for the Latvian DPs, but it was especially difficult for my father. I’m told he was an exceptionally sensitive, brilliant, and creative young man, whose dreams of being a professional soccer player or Olympic-caliber gymnast were destroyed by the war. He did the best he could to adapt to his new home, but the PTSD from the war and having his dreams torn asunder were just too much for him, and he self-medicated his pain with vodka, becoming a functional alcoholic shortly after I was born. My dad could sublimate his sadness and unresolved rage long enough to do his work as an outstanding and creative cabinet maker and furniture designer/builder, but when he got home he drank to excess, and that’s when the rage erupted. Not toward my mother or my sister, but toward me, his little sissy son who couldn’t care less about sports. I became his personal whipping boy until I left home for college. Dr. Dyer’s story of forgiving his father is something I needed to hear tonight, and a lesson I need to learn. There’s no time like the present, so here goes: Daddy, I forgive you for beating and verbally debasing me the first 18 years of my life. I know you loved me as best you could. Was it enough? No, but it was the best you knew how to do. I have to believe that. Sober, you were kind and helpful to me, but you weren’t sober very often in those years. But you were a good hardworking man, who was so proud to become a naturalized citizen. You knew more about American History and politics than 99% of the folks born in this country. You instilled in my sister and me an incredible work ethic and a sense of responsibility to those less fortunate. Your sense of excellence inspires me to this day. I think about you often-everyday!-and I wonder what you could have done with your dreams had WW II not ripped you from your homeland. I grieve what might have been for you and me as father and son, and that you were an innocent victim-a child!-of evil forces beyond your control. My father died on July 23, 2015, nearly 8 years ago, and forgiving him for physically and verbally beating me has been hard. But from now on, I will only see you in a loving, empathetic light, realizing you did the best you knew how to do raising me. I thank you for the gift of life, and I also thank you for working so hard to build a life here for Momma, my sister, and me. Now that you are part of the Eternal Universe where there is no pain, no suffering, I hope you have the peace that always alluded you in this life. Daddy, I will always love you. May I find my own sense of peace by letting go of the rage, hurt, and anger I have secretly harbored towards you. -Richard

Dr Dyer is the one person I credit for having the most influence in my life. I have attended many of his conferences and have read most of his books and am so grateful for his teachings and his example. 💗

I'am certain Dr. Wayne Dyer is alive somewhere 🙏🏿

"Forgiveness is the fragrance that the violet sheds on the heal that crushed it" What a beautiful quote from Mark Twain. Thank you Dr Dyer for your wonderful meaningful oratory. Wayne has been an inspiration in my life. If when you read this, after listening to this great inspirational man sent by our Creator to teach us forgiveness, you can find such forgiveness in your heart as Dr Dyer received you will be blessed indeed. I am praying to God thru his son Jesus to help me find forgiveness for the lies & betrayal I received as a child.

I Love this Individual Being!! ❤️❤️💯💯🔥🔥

To spread a good word or a message is so important. Thank you for taking that part 🙏

I’m watching this because I was an only child. My mom divorced my dad a yr after I was born. My moms career always came first over everything and everyone. My mom and I have never ever had a relationship. We had a huge fight 16 yrs ago at my aunt’s funeral, she was a better mom to me than my actual mom. Today, 3/21/23. I accidentally found out my mom died 1/16/23. No one told me, and I was not even mentioned in the obituary. I was left off. Today has been such a hard day knowing you were erased from her life. There was and never will be closure. She got the last word. I’m watching Wayne to learn forgiveness. It is very hard to understand and forgive someone who gave birth to you, was never there, only love came in the form of gifts. Never time. I hope I can forgive for me now. Thank you Wayne

When you recognize that you can see images in your head, you can understand not of this world. You create this world with those thoughts.. as youu look around and notice that the things you see were once a thought, you understand ask and receive.. and when you understand that you forgive those who don’t.. law of attraction what you focus on and feel to be true will become the way you expect it.. hence be carful what you wish for…

Thank you 🙏🏻 Wayne

The point of forgiveness isn’t whether or not you believe or do not believe Jesus existed. He quoted Jesus and I nearly didn’t listen as I’m not a Christian. He also quoted Mark Twain. Forgiveness and how to allow yourself to live with acceptance of the trauma and harm that other people have inflicted on us is what’s relevant, It’s not the perpetrator of wrongdoing we need to forgive they need to forgive themselves, some do some don’t. Closure from trauma comes with forgiveness it allows us to not become locked into a bitter, cynical and angry negative mindset. These negative emotions just make us unhappy and miserable. Anyone that’s grown up in a dysfunctional, abusive childhood knows how hard it is to forgive the mother, father sibling or all of them. It’s complex and difficult especially when as adults the abusive behaviours continue. Walk away from toxic behaviour and allow yourself to recover and forgive yourself, not all parents are suitable to be a parent, not all siblings are equipped to love their brother or sister. Anyone that harms a child and causes them pain, grief and trauma is indelibly scarring them for the entirety of their life. You owe it to your own peace of mind to walk away and recover.

Amazing 🙏💕🙏🕯🙏

..your focus.. "Jesus"

Forgiveness is a very easy thing to do! So why do the celebrities have issues with it? Maybe because they love one day and next month decided to try something new, so they lie and wonder how forgiveness isn’t so easy to do🤧🇵🇷

..be worth thee other .... ... person....

Being a doctor means better human being ? lack of humility ?

Institute of Spirituality Management...😊👍✨Hmm. 🤔 This is a Niche Thought by me. Which requires Crowd Funding. Else Secular Public will be taken for a ride in the name of God to Blind Believes & Superstition.

Jesus never existed 😂
