Dr. Wayne Dyer, the renowned motivational guru and author of dozens of self-help books, has died at age 75, his family announced over social media Sunday.

"Wayne has left his body, passing away through the night. He always said he couldn't wait for this next adventure to begin and had no fear of dying. Our hearts are broken, but we smile to think of how much our scurvy elephant will enjoy the other side. ... We Love You Forever Dad/Wayne," his family posted in a message on Dyer's Facebook page.
Suffice it to say, most "seekers" have
profoundly appreciated his teachings and his essence.
For those familiar with the Christian Bible, the Sermon
on the Mount speaks to our experience of loss. Matthew 5:4, "Blessed are those who mourn, for they will be
comforted.” But how will you
be comforted?
A person wrote online asking advice on how to deal with grief, and someone responded with wisdom worth sharing. Please read the entire
article, and take to heart the essence:
- Grief comes in waves, at first very high and very frequent
- Sometimes the best you can do is just float
- Find a memory or photograph or someone else who is floating to hang onto
- Stay alive; eventually you can breathe and function between the waves
None of us escapes physical death. We face this truth each time someone we know and love transitions back into spirit. We can be especially shocked
when an icon we value greatly is no longer in our world with skin on. After the news of Dr. Dyer's transition went out on our "Fellowship" list, several
people responded. These two messages speak volumes:
He will now be working from the other side.
So glad this was shared. What a beautiful spirit to have
walked this earth. I am sure the stars will shine brighter tonight....and I know he
definitely brought light to my world.
Yes, Wayne Dyer brought light into our world. Although he
lived in an orphanage, he did not let his past limit his future. He proved you
can rise above the mundane conditions of life, spread your wings, and fly.
Soaring above limiting emotions and looking at a panoramic view of life, he
invited others to enjoy a transcendent existence as well.
Dr. Wayne Dyer has taken off his earth suit and is now in our midst
as unlimited energy and light and love. "You are what you choose to be today, not what you have chosen to be before." We will remember....
