We Are What We Came From

3/8/10 at 12:30 pm | 12 Comments   by Dr. Wayne W. Dyer

In the movie version of The Shift, I have a brief discussion with several of the characters about the following key concept: Everything in the material world must be like what it came from, including each and every one of us. In the film I refer to a slice of apple pie on a plate, asking, “What is that one piece of pie like?” The obvious answer is that it’s like apple pie because it must be like what it came from. This is a familiar concept if we think of blood being drawn for a diagnostic test. A small syringe of blood provides medical practitioners with information about the entire supply of the person it was drawn from. Why? Because the sample must be like what it came from.

I extend this logic to myself and you as well. Since I didn’t come from my parents, it isn’t a logical conclusion to state that I must be like they are. Since I didn’t come from my culture, my religion, or anything in this world, it isn’t necessarily so that I must be the same as my surroundings or my society. But since I did come from an invisible energy Source that some call God, or Tao, or Divine mind, then I must be like what I came from. My conclusion about my origination is that I came from Spirit, and my true essence is that I am what I came from. I am a Divine piece of God. I am first and always a spiritual being inextricably connected to my Source of being.

Understanding the answer to Where did I come from? involves, more than anything else, attempting to live from a perspective that’s in rapport with our original nature. We must become more like the spiritual nature of our origin. By recognizing the expression of Divine consciousness that is our physical being, we in turn make the choice of how to express that Divine spirit.

    We are more than we can see in the mirror. If we've came from spirit, what is spirit? St. John says God is love, it's not to big a leap to realize we're love, having come from God. But, what is love? I Cor. 13 is a good place to find answers to that question and discoverd the greatest gift.

    You've explained this profound wisdom so many times... and still, reading your post, I think I just got it! "Repetition is the first law of learning", or so Bob Proctor says. Thank you for having repeated the lesson over and over again. Namaste.

    Wayno, A very nice and understandable way of putting it. We are a piece of what we came from...perfection. I used this principle to release over 100lbs. Awesome! Life is such a gift. Thank you.

    Misdirected Ego is destroying the human race. Upon conception we did not have an ego. The ego is necessay up to a degree to help us make decisions. Not to condtion us away from God. Before going to sleep ask youself, did I serve someone today? If yes. You had a productive day. Namaste: Armando

    Thank you Dr. Dyer. We just studied this lesson yesterday at church. It seems such a simple lesson to grasp until we discover that, one more time, we are living beneath our divine privilege. Thank you for continuing to re-orient us to Spirit with your blog entries.

    Dear Wayne, I saw the Shift last year at the I Can Do It in Toronto, and going again this year. I love how it brings one back to your authentic self. Just reading the blog, brings me back. I will affirm: I am a Divine piece of God. Thank you.

    It is being made aware in me more every day that as I "tune in" to God's energy I am more and more concious of my divine origins. I began intending to shift my life, then I became aware of your last several books! Your words resonate deeply within me. Thank you for all that you are and for helping others to see who they are.

    The blissful states one can experience at higher levels of consciousness seem to be a pragmatic science everyone of us can achieve. But many, as Hawkins stated, merely experience this as a program rather than a conscious state. How would you inform those to reach a level of experience, rather than a program?

    Also thank you for all your tutelage and sparking in me the shift to source awareness. I now feel aligned studing, writing, and intensely contemplating all aspects of spirituality and the great minds behind it. Keep lighting the path! Thanks Wayne hope to hear form you soon.

    If God were standing before you, how would you treat him/her? God IS standing before you. Every human being you encounter is a Divine Piece of God. Treat them as such. Imagine how this profound yet simple shift can change the world. Blessings.
