Dr. Dyer starts this remarkable audio program by reflecting on the many great teachers who have influenced him. Whether statesmen, spiritual avatars, poets, or writers, these individuals-including Lao Tzu, Robert Frost, Omar Khayyam, Emily Dickinson, e.e. cummings, Shakespeare, and more-all 'lived lives in which they were independent of the good opinion of others.' Dr. Dyer recommends that you 'make them come alive in your own life,' commenting that many of these thinkers took great personal risks to provide us with these inspirational teachings, 'the things they felt in their hearts.' Set to Richard Del Maestro's elegant music, the poems and excerpts on which Dr. Dyer reflects will fill you with tranquility and inspire profound insights.The second part of this program features several selections from Rumi, a 13th-century Sufi Muslim poet. Dr. Dyer reads several of Rumi's works, accompanied once again by Del Maestro's exquisite music.
