Close Kept Secrets to Weight Loss Lesson #17

Close Kept Secrets to Weight Loss Lesson #17

God is the most awesome force that we have. Every time we are
off track, we just need to ask ourselves one question. Why am I
disconnecting from Him?

I have previously written about a favorite author of mine,
Florence Scovel Shinn. She has written many books, one of which
is called The Game of Life and How to Play It. This is the book
that helped me change my thoughts when I was very ill. I read it
over and over and over again to help me create a different
pattern of thought. It was an absolute gift to me and I would
encourage you to get it. In addition, I just recently got her
book entitled The Wisdom of Florence Scovel Shinn. This is a
compilation of four of her books. I use these books in my daily
devotion to stay connected to God. The messages are so
incredibly powerful, yet simple. Staying connected to God in
every thought that we have is the answer. Let go and let God.
Surrender!

I am going to use part of her book to illustrate some points:

“All life is high vibration. You combine with what you notice,
or you combine with what you vibrate to. If you are vibrating
injustice and resentment you meet it on your pathway, at every
step. You will certainly think it is hard world and that
everybody is against you. Hermes Trismegistus said several
thousands of years ago, “To change your mood you must change
your vibrations.” I make it even stronger: I say, to change your
world, you must change your vibrations. Turn on a different
current in your battery of thought, and you’ll see the
difference immediately. Suppose you have been resenting people
and saying you are not appreciated. Make the statement: “God
appreciates me, therefore, man appreciates me, I appreciate
myself.

The law of laws, is to do unto others as you would be done by;
for, whatever you send out comes back and what you do to others
will be done to you. So, the woman who refrains from criticism,
saves herself from criticism. Critical people are always being
criticized. They also have rheumatism, for acid thoughts produce
acid in the blood, which causes pain in the joints. Be
undisturbed by a situation and it falls away.”

When we react, when we judge, when we resist, we are
disconnecting from God. All of these emotions are fear-based. As
Wayne Dyer says, “If you knew who walked beside you at all
times, you would have no fear.”

Recently, I had an e-mail conversation with a friend and it went
back and forth several times. This friend had a lot of anger in
his words. Instead of reacting, I remained calm and it was
absolutely amazing. My last e-mail to him, I wrote “Let’s give
this to God.” He then responded with more anger, but I was not
moved; I had complete peace. A short time later, this friend
e-mailed me and was very kind.

I use this to illustrate that it is about always remaining
connected to our Source. I have to remind myself as well as I
can get off track very easily. Remember, 7 year old Tami who
wants to stick her tongue out and say, “Neener, neener, neener.
You’re not the boss of me.” Sometimes she still comes out, but
it’s my ego talking. This is what Wayne Dyer says of EGO–Edging
God Out.

Look at where you need to connect to Him and just plug the
connection back in. Then feel the power light up your world.
Your power source is back and illuminating UNCONDITIONAL LOVE!

I love you and know you’re working on yourself to create the
healthy choices in your weight loss goals.

Love and hugs,
