Wayne Dyer Quotes

Your body is not who you are. The mind and spirit transcend the body.

I think the idea that life ends when we physically die is as painful as the idea in Cromwell's time that there's some awful purgatory, and you have to give money to the Catholic church to get your loved ones out.

Words alone cannot fully convey the realities of the soul or the greatness of the human spirit.

We are not victims of aging, sickness and death. These are part of scenery, not the seer, who is immune to any form of change. This seer is the spirit, the expression of eternal being.

Human spirit, things that aren't tangible, fascinate me, so I'm always researching mind, spirit, soul.

I think death is just a transition to another state of consciousness.

Perhaps one reason for the falling-off of belief in a continuance of conscious existence is to be found in the quality of life that most of us lead. There is not much in it with which, in any kind of reason, one can associate the idea of immortality.

Everybody is going to die, so people are enthralled by the possibility that they don't have to completely die, that there is something that comes afterward. It's like if you're going to France for the summer, you're going to read up on it. Everyone just wants to know where they're going, or if they're going anywhere.

No man can pass into eternity, for he is already in it.
