"Abundance is not something we acquire. It is something we tune into"
About this Quote
The intent is therapeutic and promotional at once. As a psychologist turned spiritual pop thinker, Dyer is selling relief from scarcity anxiety: the gnawing sense that you’re behind, that everyone else got the memo. His promise is not that you’ll become rich, but that you can feel rich without waiting for external permission. That’s the emotional hook, especially for audiences exhausted by endless self-optimization.
The subtext has a sharp edge: if abundance is something you “tune into,” then lack becomes, at least partly, a failure of perception. That can be empowering (agency, gratitude, attention training), and it can slide into a moralized psychology where suffering looks like misalignment. In the late-20th-century ecosystem of New Thought, meditation culture, and the “law of attraction” adjacent market, this sentence works like a mantra: portable, vague enough to fit any life, and precise enough to sound like a principle. It offers a spiritual alibi for wanting better while insisting the real upgrade is consciousness.
