Titled Discovering and Living From Your
Impersonal Self, this weekend course features
Dr Wayne W Dyer and Anita Moorjani. The
seminar is an opportunity to free yourself, now
and forever, from the domination of your
personality, with its self-inflated and often
self-sabotaging mind and intellect. The course
explores the notion that in addition to having a
personal self, there is also an impersonal self
that is with you for every moment of your
existence in this lifetime. This impersonal self is
not your intellect and body. It is the invisible
intelligence that animates all of life. It is
responsible for all of your desires.
