I'm currently watching a wonderfully inspirational 3 hour show we recorded on our DVR on our local PBS channel WLIW a few weeks ago. It's called Change Your Thoughts, Change Your Life: Living the Wisdom of the Tao, by Dr. Wayne Dyer. It's a seminar based on his one-year immersion in the study of the Tao Te Ching, or Great Way by Lao Tzu (which I read many years ago and in addition to Christianity and Judaism, Taoism is one of the greatest shaping influences on my personal spiritual belief system.)
Dr. Dyer talks about how the Tao Te Ching has helped him release his attachment to clutter and lessen his need to hold on tight to things (in 2006 he let go of 20,000 books and lots of clothing and years of other collections that kept him from being free to live the way he wanted to!)
It made me remember that I started "unlearning" or letting go of my attachments to things and clutter even longer ago than I thought!

Here's how you can pledge to support WLIW Channel 21 in NY and receive a package tickets to see Wayne Dyer at the Javits Center in NY on Nov. 14th 7-10pm. You also get his book, DVD, AUDIO CDs of his workshop and much more.
Thanks for the information on the Tao Te Ching. I saw this wonderful program by Wayne Dyer a few weeks ago on AETN. I love all of his work.

Thanks for the review of Dr. Wayne Dyer. I have enjoyed his books/audio info. in the past and want to grab this program. We all need some clutter cleansing to get rid of our mental blocks:-)
