Since I've started reading The Shift, I've noticed many of the things Wayne Dyer talks about in everyone I talk to. The ego is prevalent and rides high in almost everyone. The main thing I noticed was the ego's desires in people. Dyer talks about before we have a quantum moment, our shift toward meaning, we have a different set of values. The top two for men being money and adventure. We were at a graduation party talking with a man who is planning a bike trip for a few weeks. His wife was very much against the trip but he had a pulling to go regardless. I asked him his main reason to do this. He said for adventure. His ego is seeking adventure at any cost even if it causes a rif in his marriage. On the contrary, I met a running shoe sales man who had a kinesiology degree but didn't find it fulfilling so he now coaches running groups and works for a running shore store company. Less money but more personal fulfillment, he said. I wonder what his quantum moment was when he decided to follow his life of meaning.
Is any of this so bad? One wants adventure, the other personal fulfillment. The ego is driving the one guy while the other is being guided by his spirit. I suppose Dyer would say that seeking adventure and money is how the ego keeps you going but in the end you will still be seeking to fill the void of living a meaningful life. You won't find it through the ego's desires. The shoe salesman was content and happy right where he was regardless of the lack of money.
Do we all get a quantum shift? Do we get another one if we miss the first one, second one etc? Will we recognize it or will we miss it? Is the choice up to us if we want to stay in our ego thinking or do we all respond by using the energy to find our purpose? Lastly, will we find our purpose right away or will it magically appear one day after the quantum shift?
