I Can See Clearly Now

The five principles featured in the program are:

The Willingness to See More Clearly Now
Dyer shares stories of his youth in Detroit, his favorite childhood book, the importance of being willing to do anything to make your dreams come true, the truth behind a Mark Twain quote about how it’s not what you don't know, but what you know for sure that gets you into trouble, and ends with “The Cookie Thief” poem.The Determination to See More Clearly Now
This principle concerns the importance of having, and acting on, a burning desire. Dyer shares stories about his time in the Navy, his determination to get into a good university despite a lackluster high school record, and the book he read that changed his thinking forever about having the power to go within and heal. His youngest daughter Saje, now 23, joins him onstage to recount how she got rid of her childhood “bumps.”
Dyer explains the subtle ways fear lives within all of us, and how he faced very personal fears at several key junctures of his life. He also talks about the fearlessness we need to recognize the teachers in our lives, who can have such a strong impact on us.The Compassion to See Clearly Now
Dyer explains that it is often the lowest moments of our lives that reveal our true purpose. He speaks publicly for the first time about his separation from his wife, who is in the audience, and how the dissolution of his marriage taught him compassion. He also makes the audience laugh with a story about his youthful ego.
The highest rung of the ladder is the principle of love, which allows us to see our lives more clearly and reach our greatest awareness. Dyer invites his daughter Serena to join him onstage to share a letter she wrote to him after observing him lecture in Ephesus, Turkey. That letter was turned into an original song by singer/songwriter Alex Woodard, who performs it with Dyer's daughter Skye on vocals. The program ends with “In A Treehouse,” written by the great Middle Eastern poet Hafiz.
