Welcome back!

It snowed again last weekend while I was in Desert Hot Springs.  Nature is going behind my back!  It’s a good thing though because it provided a great topic for today’s blog.  Just when you think it’s okay to think about spring planting, badda bing - snow!

I have great news to share with you today.  I broke through whatever kind of plateau I had going for the last five weeks.  I continued to do my mental work and insist on the Truth being true for me.  I was astonished that it took five weeks.  I believe the lesson in it for me was truly about persistence.

Sorry for the head chop off.  I struggle with getting images in here properly. 

In the past, when dieting from my former perspective of using food and the change or lack of it to lose weight, when I would hit a plateau, the denial of food would be too great to persevere through, so I’d say “To heck with it” and return to my old eating ways.  Now that I am doing a mental diet unrelated to food, I saw the same old thoughts and emotions come up again.  Truly, it felt identical to the old food method days.

This time though, I have matured enough in my thinking to see the pattern of - shall we call it my “evil ways?” - and to persevere through it.  I only weigh on Fridays and I can tell you that seeing that same damn number four Fridays in a row was a helatious workout!  And then the fifth Friday came and I dropped two pounds.  That is a total of 27 pounds through mental means alone.  It is thrilling to be on the downhill slope of this success and look back with joy.  The best part of it is that I know that those 27 pounds will never return because of the insistent permanence weaved into my mental work.

Yes, of course I intend to persevere until all the excess in my thinking is gone.  Once that happens, all the excess weight will also be gone, and my mind will be in a state of joy and harmony over this one. I am really looking forward to that.  It no longer matters how long it takes for me.  I am correcting a mistake of 67 years endurance.  It would be utterly foolish to expect it to go away in a flash.  That doesn’t mean that your correction has to take as long as mine.  Yours may not include all of my convolutions, so don’t set it up for yours to take a long time.

In the meantime, I am eating well, enjoying life, moving forward with my house projects, working on the marketing for The World of Within, and teaching the teleclasses.The next teleclass Proof that you are a mental being - Obesity is not of the body is being taught tonight at 6 pm PST.  consider joining us. Oh, and petting the cats. Mustn’t forget that! 

I am also recognizing how intertwined my sense of money, my sense of Self, and my sense of weight are.  I had an extremely vibrant and enlightening idea lighted up while I was driving to Desert Hot Springs last weekend, and I do believe that will be helping all three of those senses to strengthen and become more confident.  I’ve told you before that I really love to do mental work while I’m driving and that was a good hour and a half trip.  Life is good.

Hope to see you in class tonight.

Love,

Pat
