Christmas & There’re No Physical Things In a Mental Universe
Welcome back!
Marilyn, Pat and Lesley
For you newcomers to the World of Within - Merry Christmas from me and my girlfriends with a reminder:
Each of my posts in December is going to be about the key factors intrinsic in my being able to enjoy the holidays without kvetching about food or weight gain, and how I got to this place….finally! If you’ll notice, there’s a category called “Christmas” on the right where you can read them all. Enjoy!
My dream is that on New Year’s Eve, because you follow this blog and you tell your overweight friends to read it too, we’ll all be better prepared to move into 2010 with a basket full of right ideas to help us think differently about this overweight phantasmagoria.
Today, I’m going to be reminding you about how “mental” you are and that the universe you live in is a mental universe. Trust me, if you can wrap yourself around this idea, you won’t ever sweat the food stuff any more. Freedom in this area really feel great!
You can think. This makes you mind, because only mind can think. Let that one soak in for a while because I’m confident you haven’t really let it absorb in. Do you realize what it means if you are a thinking, mental being? Do you realize the height it elevates you to to recognize that as a mental being (since what you think is what you get) you are the gal on the throne? You are the one calling the shots by what you entertain in your mind? If you are thinking “Egads! All these desserts are going to put the tons on my hips,” guess what? Your mind is in there thinking “You want what? Now why would you add that bunch of crap to something so wonderful? Oh well, if that’s what you want, I’ll do it for you.” And then your very own thinking creates the thing you most fear.
Why is it so important for you to realize this is a mental experience, that you are a mental being? Two main reasons:
If we are physical beings, we cannot change permanently.
If we are mental beings, we can change permanently by changing what we think.
We have been taught that all the things we can see with our eyes are physical things. I am saying those things are mental. They have been created using the Primal Element, consciousness as the substance, and they have been formed using Mind, our minds, as the Cause. You can prove this, you know? You can think about something you really really want, and not let go of it until it’s in your experience. Think about all it’s happy details. Think about how you will use it and enjoy it. (One big clue: if you entertain thoughts of doubt or fear, you will stop the process entirely, so I’d encourage you not to doubt or fear. Instead, expect your desire to manifest and it will.)
Merry Christmas,
Pat
