Wishes Fulfilled
About This Book
Wishes Fulfilled is Wayne Dyer's culminating statement of his complete spiritual teaching — a work that he himself regarded as containing the most important teaching of his career, centred on the divine name revealed to Moses from the burning bush: 'I AM.' Dyer argues, drawing on Neville Goddard's interpretation of scripture, the Upanishadic understanding of Atman as the eternal self, and the teaching of Jesus ('Before Abraham was, I AM'), that the I AM consciousness is not a personal attribute but the name of the divine — and that the specific words one habitually joins to 'I am' (I am limited, I am unworthy, I am unable) constitute the primary creative act of one's life, determining with absolute precision the quality of experience that arises.
The book's central practice is the deliberate claiming of one's divine nature in the present moment: not as a future aspiration ('someday I will be well / successful / loved') but as a present reality ('I am well / I am divine / I am love') claimed with the full conviction that comes from aligning with the I AM consciousness rather than the ego's constructed identity of limitation. Dyer grounds this teaching in a careful reading of specific biblical passages, the Hermetic tradition's understanding of 'as above so below,' and the physics of consciousness that suggests the observer literally participates in creating the reality they observe.
What You'll Learn
• Understand the I AM teaching: why Dyer regards 'I AM' as the most important phrase in any language — its divine origin, its creative power, and how the specific words habitually attached to it constitute the primary determination of the quality of one's experienced life
• Grasp the Neville Goddard influence: the specific reading of scripture Neville developed and that Dyer extensively incorporates — understanding biblical narratives as psychological accounts of the laws governing consciousness rather than as historical accounts of literal events
• Recognise the five practices Dyer prescribes for fulfilling wishes: the specific meditative and attitudinal practices he associates with claiming one's divine nature, including inhabiting the feeling of the wish fulfilled in the present moment and the cultivation of an 'I am God' consciousness that aligns with rather than separates from the divine source
• Learn the relationship between the I AM teaching and Vedantic non-dualism: how the Upanishadic identification of Atman (individual soul) with Brahman (universal consciousness) expresses the same understanding that Jesus demonstrated in his 'I AM' statements — and what genuine absorption of this understanding requires and produces in the quality of one's daily experience
• Appreciate the personal dimension of the book: how Dyer's own relationship to his I AM consciousness developed across his career, the specific experiences that deepened his understanding of this teaching, and why he regarded Wishes Fulfilled as the completion of the spiritual vision he had been articulating for forty years
