Welcome back!

Seth & Jenn Matson

I have often wondered what was in that wine glass that made Seth look unconscious?  Ah, well, it’s the holidays, and he is usually just playing with us.  Just ask Jenn.  She knows. Aren’t they a handsome couple?

In each post this month, I want to remind you that each post is one in a series about the key factors intrinsic to 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, we’ll look at why you cannot change so-called physical things.  I think the best way to explain this one is to put you in front of a mirror.  You have just noticed that your hair is a mess!  Do you reach out to the image in the mirror to make the changes, or do you work with the real thing, the hair on your head? Right, with the hair on your head! So, what’s the moral?

You are a Cause machine.  You cause things by thinking about them.  I know you’ve had the experience of thinking about something, having it show up, and thinking “What a coincidence!”  Or maybe the experience has happened when you think about someone, and they call or email you?  Either way: as a mental being, the subject of your thinking becomes objectified.  The one thinking (that’d be you) has activated Cause with your thinking.  Cause forms its thoughts using consciousness, the Primal Element, into the subject of its thinking. When the subject is completely thought through to a mental conviction, the thoughts objectify themselves as whatever, or whoever, you were thinking about.

The things you create are called effect.  We have all been taught across the last few centuries that these effects are physical.  Because of the way they were created (mentally) they cannot be physical.  They can only be mental or spiritual.  I consider those words synonyms. See Dec. 17th’s post.

So the things that you now think are physical (like your body) and you try to change (like through diet and exercise) can never retain those changes because the tools you are using are not mental, like the way you created your body in the first place, by thinking yourself fat.  You’ve got to change your mind about your body.  In that way, you are changing Cause…..and the effect will automatically change……and the change will be as permanent as the thoughts about it are permanent.

This is not a subject for sissies.  It takes healthy, hard work to change your mind and keep it changed. And this is why surgieries are not successful permanently.  You still have the Cause machine thinking fat, so it’s going to reproduce the fat unless you change it permanently.  And for that, I say, to all a good night…and good luck.

Snowflakes on your noses,

Pat

So greatful!

Today, I am mainly grateful in this month of gratitude and recognition for understanding that I am living in a mental universe; that it is completely governed by me, thinking; and that I can choose to think whatever I want to think.

Now this next part might blow your hair back a bit when I tell you that my body IS my thinking about my body made visible so that I can see visibly what I am thinking.  If my body is overweight, guess what?  Yeppers.  I’m thinking I am overweight.  And I just know that if you are overweight, you think you are overweight, too.  We’ve been doing this innocently for many years because we did not know that our thinking was causing it.

It’s just too cool to know, and once you know this, and you feel ready (having removed through completion all the things you think have to come first, like paying bills, etc.),  you can then create a project where you consciously choose to think “I am normal” and you hold that thought until it manifests.  It will manifest the moment you sincerely believe it in the depths of your heart.

That’s a lot of understanding to be grateful for, wouldn’t you agree?  Now if you want to get a grip on this kind of thinking, email me, okay, and we’ll talk and I’ll help you.  pat@theworldofwithin.com

Oh, Joy!

Do you ever grow weary of people telling you how wonderful you are, that you can do it, that nothing is too wonderful to happen, that all things are possible?  Yeah, me too.

Once in a while you deserve a day when you get to pout, to sulk, to hide, to ignore everybody and their damn positive attitude, say screw it all, and KNOW, absolutely KNOW, that you’ll be back soon with a much better attitude, willing to work on “your obesity or overweight stuff” from a perspective of renewed hope.

I’m giving you that day today.

Oh, if you want a shot in the arm for when you return,  you can buy my book, My Cats Have Seen Me Naked:  How I Achieved Self-Love and Self-Acceptance While Obese and have it ready for when you’re ready.

Love you,

Pat
