Self-actualization guru Dyer has a talent for appropriating age-old spiritual concepts and marketing them with buzzwords like "spiritual manifestation." In Manifest Your Destiny, here he outlines nine principles for manifesting spiritual destiny, which appears to be synonymous with getting everything we want.
According to Dyer, if we can just get out of our ego's reach, the power of the universe would act in us to bring us everything we truly desire. By putting worthy spiritual ideals to the service of personal power, Dyer subverts the meaning of unconditional love, seeing it as the means to an end rather than a worthy end in itself in Manifest Your Destiny.
Best-selling author Dyer says this title is different from any other he's written, but his 1992 book, Real Magic, was also about "using your invisible self to influence physical reality." Here, the message is muddled.
Using Manifest Your Destiny, he tells readers that inner peace should be their greatest goal, but, on the other hand, he offers techniques designed to attain more worldly objectives, like a new job. There's lots about meditating and chanting, and he supplies distillations from A Course in Miracles, but ultimately, the volume veers close to the low end of New Age gobbledygook.
