Welcome back!

Feruka Salt

The reality of self-healing or spiritual healing is that it doesn’t happen instantaneously like a television show with an introduction, a meaty middle and a successful (always successful, eh?) denouement.  I think it is sad that our consumerism has made us into a nation of - as Ferukha Salt said in Willy Wonka -

“I want it NOW, Daddy!”

Well, all you little Feruka’s out there , much as it looks like so much has become fairly instantaneous, weight loss through spiritual means isn’t quite in that category yet.  At The World of Within, my strongest effort is to teach you the basics of living a successful life.  Now you, like me, were dealt one HUGE lemon - obesity.  I can promise you this:  I turned mine into lemonade and I know how to help you do that too.  But you can’t have it immediately, Feruka.

No, you have to work for it.  I think I’m going to start listing Proving Spirituality as one of my hobbies on Plenty of Fish. I don’t think you’ve really habitualized an idea until you can use it and prove it.

I think you ought to read my book My Cats Have Seen Me Naked to get the complete gist.  In it, I provide a list of the work you need to complete and the tools to complete it.  Spiritual healing results in one thing that is different than diet and exercise: permanant healing.  And it takes longer because you’ve got to convince you. I can help you to do that.

I’m working behind the scenes these days with a Coach to make my offering more palitable for you.  I’d love to hear what you think about this site and it’s current offerings.  I would love you to enjoy your summer knowing you had the beginnings of a permanant healing in place regarding your self acceptance and the size of your body.

My Cats

I spent the majority of my life holding the thought that someday I’d write a book.  It’s one of the things I looked forward to “after I retired.”  A few years back, I was working with a Life Coach and the topic of what I was going to do when I retired came up.  “Just 15 minutes a day” Pete said. “You could get that book completed rather quickly if you’d make the commitment to write it every day in just 15 minute commitments.”

I never dreamed that I would encounter all that I encountered in writing this book and in setting up this website and blog to share it with the world. It was an effort that made me reach down inside of myself and supply many needed things - ideas, hard work, money, partners, coaches come to my mind. It resulted in my own spiritual healing and weight loss.

I’ve found that when I extend myself and share what I’ve learned about life several things occur:  first of all, not everyone is interested as I am about what I think of as the bottom line behind life.  I’ve been obsessed much of my life about finding what life was all about and what was required to truly be successful so that when my time here was completed, I’d feel really good about the experience.  I believe I found that.

Secondly, because this subject is very close to people’s hearts, this is also where their religion lives and my ideas frequently abrade with traditional religiosity, so, some people plain don’t like what I have discovered and written about.  It makes them too uncomfortable.  It confronts their beliefs.

One of my sons told me I’ve become as much of a crusader as my father was about his beliefs.  I’ve had to look at that one long and hard. I’ve decided that I’m still right for me, and if you are interested in the ideas I share fine.  If not, also fine. It’s a new way.  It’s a new path.  New paths frequently begin with just a light tracing in the dirt.  They often become deep ruts in the road as the followers down that path “get it.”  My part is completed.  I created the light tracing.  I’ve shared what I learned.  Nothing more is needed.

If you have come across this information recently, welcome.  Enjoy. Tell your fat friends.  Be a part of the new paradigm.

I got to see my new grandson again this weekend and hold his wee, beautiful self.  He is a beautiful little boy and he appears to be nicely refined.  I believe all those months of his mommy and daddy talking to him in vitro and playing him music created that refinement.  And just imagine:  they did all this before they even saw him.

I got to thinking about doubting Thomas in the bible who had to see something before he would believe it. I can only imagine what he might have created (as my son Thad and his girlfriend Amy did) had he trusted enough in the process to acknowledge the reality before the appearance of their son.

Mental weight loss is like that too.  You have to be absolutely convinced that the process does work long before the appearance of the weight loss takes place.  If you don’t, there won’t be an appearance.  Last November when I began this process of mentally losing weight solely, if I hadn’t been convinced that it was going to be effective, I would still be carrying around the 35 lbs. I’ve lost since then.

This is where the “Oh ye of little faith!” saying comes from.  You have to have the courage of your convictions, the expectation of the weight loss, and the love of your Self that will nurture and guide you until you achieve the absolute conviction that it will happen.  And then it does.  I am living proof.

Stay tuned.  I have lots more weight to lose and I’m planning to do it mentally as well.  It’s painless.  I eat well.  So far, I haven’t been exercising at all.  Part of that is I live in snow country and it’s hard to get out to walk.  But it’s springtime now and my feet are feeling itchy.

If you never begin, you’ll never build the trust in this system.  I’d recommend getting my book My Cats Have Seen Me Naked: How I Achieved Self Acceptance and Self Love While Obese and then getting started on your own mental project path.  It might well become the best investment you’ve ever made.

Love,

Pat
