The practice of meditation takes us on a fabulous journey into the gap between our thoughts, where all the advantages of a more peaceful, stress-free, healthy, and fatigue-free life are available, but which are simply side benefits.

This book was so boring that it put me right to sleep.

You would think that someone like Wayne Dyer, who has made millions upon millions of dollars off of primarily women, would find a way to refer to deity that does not aggrandize his own sex (male), but no. A short disclaimer along the lines of “You can think of God any way you want, but in this book I’m referring to Him as a MALE” is a slap in the face to his female listeners. I’ve listened to Wayne Dyer for decades. I was able to understand when all of his earlier works were self-aggrandizing; after all, he was insecure, but he still said helpful things. But I cannot understand his insistence on referring to God as a male, or even in an anthropomorphic sense at all. Surely he is creative enough to come up with something more accurate. I’ll never buy his work again. Wayne, your audience is outgrowing you.

After 4 or 5 ex-wives emotionally and physically ‘enslaved’ by Wayne Dyer, I know the ’spin’ he expounds for the $,$$$,$$$… SOOOOO sad that he twists the truths of the universe (whatever those are) to his slimey advantage.
Better to return to raw simple truths (like the Dalai Lama, Thich Nan, Tao, etc) instead of promoting this shyster. His ex-wives could tell you he’s a bossy abusive pr*ck. Sorry if this is disillusioning, but as most ‘gurus’ are fake… this guy happens to be a TOTAL fake. So Sorry
The epitome of cr*p on TV.

I looked forward to learning more about Japa meditation as I practice several different types and had heard Dyer mention it in another book. What I wasn’t prepared for at all was the heavy God the Father, Christianized focus of the CD. I don’t see myself as a child of some male parent in the sky. The word “father” is not one of comfort for me and does not speak of co-creation, it speaks of the dominiation and exclusion I felt in my experiences with Patriarical religion. Dyer would have been better off not giving an omnipotent being a sex or suggesting a traditional “human” role for him.
If the focus wasn’t bad enough, his reading was just plain boring. I can read the lord’s prayer on my own. I have a problem with people who sell CD’s created from material which is in the public domain. Why pay for it???

I ordered “Getting in the Gap” from the Amazon “good used” book selection. The book was described to be in good shape with a CD. This is WHY I ordered the book: it was to come with the CD. When I received the book by mail, what a deception! NO CD was included with the book! The package and wrapping was in the best shape ever. There is no way the CD slipped out! Basically, false advertising on your behalf or the person who prepared the package was sleeping at the wheel! I did read the book but without the CD, it was half the enjoyment….
You know, I learned my lesson well! I paid good, hard, earned money for the whole package:book and CD. And lesson learned: I will NEVER again order from Amazon again!
