Mind Viruses July 31 Pastor Bill Vis (Pine Grove) Pine Grove Quartet
I recently was introduced to the idea of Viruses of the Mind by Wayne Dyer’s new book, “Excuses Begone”. In this book Dyer
helps us understand that we are all infected with these “viruses” in our thinking. These viruses, like physical viruses, will invade our Aug. 7 Rev. Steve Elizinga (Pathway CRC) Steve & Marie Elzinga
thinking, reproduce and be propagated by us to others. Some of them are detrimental and some of them are beneficial. Aug. 14 Rev. Curt Walters (Covenant CRC) Sue Walters
This work is based on the science of Memetics, a concept created by Richard Dawkins who wrote, “The Selfi sh Gene” in 1976. Aug. 21 Rev. Brian Bosscher (Hillcrest CRC) Marcia Kloote
Later Richard Brody, co-founder of Microsoft, wrote, “Virus of the Mind”. He used the word “meme” (rhymes with cream) to refer
to these viruses of our minds. He compared them to computer viruses. The subconscious mind, like the computer, cannot judge if Aug. 28 Pastor Bill Vis (Pine Grove) Don Edema
information is accurate or not, it just acts on the information that is down loaded into it. Sept. 4 Rev. Bob DeVries (Calvin Seminary) John Shear
Wayne Dyer asked people from all over the world to send him memes or excuses for not accomplishing their goals. He got over
5,000 responses. In his book he gives 18 that were the most common and he gives the programming that we can use to change Children’s Worship – Ages 4 - 7 & Nursery for infants and toddlers
this meme to one that is more effective for operating our minds and our lives.
I do recommend you read this book. But I will share those 18 memes with you now, along with his affirmation (bold type) that during Morning Worship
can change the meme to be less self defeating. I have added my version (in italics) and you can do your own. The important thing Evening Worship at 6:00 P.M., except June 19
is to make changes in the old out-dated programs.
1. It will be too difficult. I have the ability to accomplish any task I set my mind to with comfort and ease. I can do anything I The evening of June 12 will be a community wide service at Ensley Park in
choose to do. Howard City in support of Helping Hands.
2. It is going to be risky. Being myself involves no risks. It is my ultimate truth, and I live it fearlessly. I always have plenty more
than I need. Summer Concert Series at 6:00 P.M.
3. It will take a long time. I have infinite patience when it comes to fulfilling my destiny. I will do what ever it takes for as long as May 29 – Marty Miller
it takes. July 3 – Doug Anderson
4. There will be family drama. I would rather be loathed for who I am, than for who I am not. I have July 24 – Hark Up Girls
loving support from those that care. August 14 – Jim Worthing
5. I do not deserve it. I am a Divine creation, a piece of God. Therefore, I cannot be undeserving. I am
OK. I deserve a wonderful life. September 4 – John Shear
6. It is not my nature. My essential nature is perfect and faultless. It is to this nature that I return. I am
learning to overcome any genetic conditions and old learned programming.
7. I can not afford it. I am connected to unlimited sources of abundance. I have always had and always
will have plenty. How can I afford this?
Next week we will continue with more of these memes. For now when you find a meme that applies
to you, read the healing affirmation or create your own. Then every single time you hear the old meme in
your mind or from you mouth, cancel it, and plug in the new one. Within a short time you will be thinking
and responding in a different way and life will be getting better. (To be continued next week)
