"When I speak of miracle making I am discussing whatever you have considered beyond your ability to create for yourself because of limitations you believe you have." ~ pg. 18
"Real Magic" has one main message. Wayne Dyer believes you have created your life with your thoughts. By changing your thoughts you can therefore change your destiny. At first Wayne Dyer tempts the reader with the idea of being a miracle worker, he then describes all the things that will hinder you. For instance he believes you can't be a miracle worker if you tend to be judgmental. You also have to believe in God or as he calls it an "invisible mysterious force" or "invisible intelligence" that permeates all things.
While this book is mostly about manifesting the life you desire there are also lots of practical ideas on how to live a more peaceful life. I could appreciate Wayne Dyer's ideas about love and forgiveness. He also teaches the reader to think more positively about life.
What I did find confusing in this book in particular was the idea that nonspiritual beings hate evil. I've always thought that was something spiritual beings would do. Instead Wayne Dyer encourages spiritual beings to promote good instead of focusing on evil. He basically believes you become part of the problem when you hate. Doesn't God hate evil? He obviously has much higher standards than we do.
Another comment I thought might be difficult to digest was an all-encompassing thought that "all experience is blessed and for a greater good." Tell this to a person who has experienced something completely awful and note their response. This is a hard pill to swallow if you have yet to realize that life is like a school for your soul.
I think Wayne Dyer had good intentions in this book and you can probably learn something valuable from his work. He is correct when he says that the soul is eternal but he also claims that when the soul leaves the body it has no form. This may be untrue if you consider the claims from near-death experiences. Most claim that they had a spiritual body that was similar to their physical body but it had no limitations, for example they could move through walls simply by thinking about it. Wayne Dyer talks about death but he doesn't consider negative near-death experiences. While I can agree with him that the soul lives forever I fear he missed out on an opportunity to explain that you decide your eternal destiny in this lifetime. While he quotes bible verses and talks about Jesus briefly he doesn't explain how to get to heaven. For that you will have to read the bible.
I think the problem with this book is that it doesn't take into consideration the will of God in your life. Instead, human beings become god-like and control their destiny at will. This may be unrealistic but can probably work in situation where people have cured themselves of disease or have improved their relationships. On a practical level positive thinking can work to improve your life I just don't believe God is "only" an invisible intelligence permeating all things. He is the source of all love and the amazing creator of the universe. So, if you believe in a biblical God this book will cause you to reject many of the ideas presented.

This book is about living in a different mind set. It is Wayne Dyer. Wayne Dyer is known for his jogging and also meditation. I have listened to his audio books. He is always gentle and comfortable to listen to. This book shows you how to tune into the vibration of God which is the source of everything. Wayne says that we needs not have to struggle. Life is a state of being. We Are already there, there is nowhere to go. Life is about giving and serving not getting and fighting. This book has three parts. Part One's title is ` Creating an inner path for Real Magic'. It has three chapters. I particularly like the spiritual dozen under chapter two. Wayne lays out 12 different characteristics of spiritual and non spiritual being. Among the differences he points out are, non spiritual being only believes in the five senses where spiritual being thinking is multidimensional.; the former believes that he is alone whereas the later believes loving guidance is always available. Under chapter three Wayne shows us how we can create a miracle mind set. He lays out 14 ways where we can do it. Among the 14 is to be non judgemental; learn how to surrender; practice daily meditation and others. Part Two is about applying real magic awareness in our daily life. How real magic affects your relationships, prosperity, personal identity, and your physical health. Part Three is about how to radiate real magic to the world. Wayne believes that we are now at the threshold of a consciousness revolution. There is a new paradigm awaiting everyone of us. If you are spiritually inclined you will like this book. It is a how to book for those who wants to lead a `happy' life. Is `happy' the right word? Or may I say that Wayne is teaching you how to claim your birthright , just claim it, it is reality itself. The world of five senses isn't real, we are living in illusion. What is silence? Does silence has any meaning? Let me quote the following in page 86 of the book: " A note without space is one long sound. Music comes from the silence between the notes. Nothingness! Yes ,but also absolutely necessary in order to create sound in the world of form, no nothingness, no music". Wayne is showing us the necessity of having time of silence in meditation, isn't it profound?

The absence of any religion in a person's life can leave a spiritual gap. The sense that something is missing can hang on your every movement. Real Magic was one of those books that came to me at the right time in my personal growth. A time when I needed to start focusing on what my purpose was here on this earth. Dr. Dyer does not try to win you over with theological arguments or motivational tricks. He instead encourages you to look inside yourself for all the answers and learn to practice faith even if it is not connected to a belief structure or a deity. This is one of those rare books that I reread over and over when I was having a crisis. It is indicative of his powerful message.

One of the best books I read in my entire life. Bring to your home library this powerful tool of inspiration. For every time you open it you will encounter guidance through a story, a catching phrase or Dyer's masterful words to help you see clearly the wizard in you.
