They sure don't make them like Stuart Wilde anymore, that's for sure. If you aren't familiar with Stuie's work you will be by the time you're done reading this post.
I was first introduced to Stuart Wilde by a good friend of mine who gave me a copy of his book "The Infinite Self - 33 Steps To Reclaiming Your Inner Power". It was actually an audio book and from the moment I started listening I was hooked!
The knowledge, wisdom, and practical steps that Stuie shares is life changing to say the least. It's especially great for people that never really fit the status quo and are looking to pull them selves out of the mass hypnosis of consumerism, vanity and ego driven world that we all live in. And instead live a more righteous path in alignment with our true spiritual nature.
Chances are you've never heard of Stuart Wilde and that's ok, he was a bit of a fringe-dweller and never reached the popularity of popular authors like Deepok Chopra, Wayne Dyer etc; but these guys ALL knew who Stuart was. He's dead now of course but his Legacy lives on and many people like me still think about and remember him to this day.
Stuart was never afraid to push the envelope or people's buttons. His work is original, simple, pure, and to the point. And he delivers his message with a lot of humor that will have you laughing at yourself and your ego anytime you read or listen to him.
Here are a few of my favorite quotes from Stuart.
"Lean toward love at all times, cut people slack, forgive and forget, and be kind, very kind; the more you do that, the less fear you will have. People will raise up to support you. Refuse to be scared in this lifetime."
"Remember, most of the things you think you need are ego trips designed to bolster your image and your perception of security.... You'll waste a lot of energy satisfying your ego only to find that, as soon as it's got what it wants, it ignores all your efforts and promptly nails another list of demands to your forehead. The ego will always try to force you to slave for its vision. I wouldn't stand for that BS if I were you."
"Watch nature, because it is your greatest teacher. It moves and flows and moves on again. There is an incredible beauty out there in the mountains, in the forests, to teach you it's silence, it's beauty, it's humility. Stay aligned to that."
"There is no amount of money in the world that will make you comfortable if you are not comfortable with yourself."
"Life was never meant to be a struggle, just a gentle progression from one point to another, much like walking through a valley on a sunny day."
As you can see so far Stuart Wilde's wisdom is quite incredible but there's nothing quite like diving into one of his books, his teachings are like getting your black belt in spiritual Kung fu and extremely useful in everyday life.
Not only that, he's a fun guy to learn from. You'll find yourself smiling and laughing along with him often.
Stuart also introduced me to the term "Silent Power" which just so happens to be my username here on Steemit. As you can see he's made a profound impact on my life and every time I find myself drifting off course I return to his work which is some of the best material out there for keeping one's ego in check.
Here are a few of Stuart's books that I recommend picking up and reading.
Infinite Self - 33 Steps to Reclaiming Your Inner Power.
Silent Power
The Journey Beyond Enlightenment
The Trick To Money Is Having Some
Weight Loss For The Mind
These are all really great books and easy reads. Stuart Wilde was heavily influenced by the Tao Te Ching which you'll find out as you dive into his teachings.
Towards the end of his journey Stuart was heavily involved in the facilitation and consumption of the South American medicine Ayahuasca. He led many retreats designed to initiate his followers into the spirit world via Ayahuasca.
Some of his later books, teachings, and workshops after his Ayahuasca experiences were scene as quite controversial by some of his followers. Stuart was never afraid to dive into esoteric concepts, ideas, and philosophies and that he did towards the end of his career.
Also, Stuart was a great teacher of Money. Having written several books like "The Little Money Bible" and "The Trick To Money is Having Some" Stuart helped a lot of spiritual seekers wrap their heads around how to create wealth on the physical plane with the greatest of ease.
Seriously, if you've got questions about money and want it broken down for you in the simplest possible way without the need for numbers, charts, degrees etc; try watching the video below. It's called "Mastery of Money" and it's and old video from Stuart's early days.
You'll notice that he was talking about truths about things like corrupt governments, banking systems, financial terrorism over 30 years ago as well as providing simple solutions to overcome them.
Ahead of his time? Greatly. I owe much of the success in my life to this man.
