Relativity according to Dr. Wayne Dyer

Many here may or may not have heard of Dr. Wayne Dyer

According to Dr Dyer in his latest lecture series - Inspiration, Your Ultimate Call - most people probably don't understand the theory of relativity. So Dyer kindly explains that "Einstein said that everything is relative".

Then the good doctor continues to put this into context by citing Chuang Tzu's paradox.

The great Taoist master Chuang Tzu once dreamt that he was a butterfly fluttering here and there. In the dream he had no awareness of his individuality as a person. He was only a butterfly. Suddenly, he awoke and found himself laying there, a person once again. But then he thought to himself, "Was I before a man who dreamt about being a butterfly, or am I now a butterfly who dreams about being a man?"

Dyer explains that this is what Einstein meant when he said that "everything is relative".

Excuse me while I fall off my chair laughing...

Oh yes, along with Deepak Choprah, he has received the Albert Einstein College of Medicine's Einstein Award.

And to think that I bought "Winning Through Intimidation" and "Pulling Your Own Strings" when I was young and stupid.

The "everything is relaltive" bit is bad enough [and completely wrong], but to then explain this in terms of Chuang Tsu is about as bad as it gets.

Wayne Dyer

I have seen Wayne Dyer on PBS and I was not too impressed with what he had to say and I didn't like his daughter singing during the program.
