And so it is....

As a student of Science of Mind, Religious Science, I am learning so much about the process of manifestation.  And, isn't that what we are all searching for?  How to make real our dreams?  I recently sat down with our Reverend and ask these very questions.  "How do I stay on track, get what I want out of life and still be 'virtuous'?"  She smiled sweetly and sort of laughed.  The truth, she advanced and I caught, almost immediately as the words first came out of my mouth, were rather simple, yet not so easy to attain.
"Just believe it".

I've been watching Rio with my son lately and there is a similar thread of process.  Believe and you will be free.  All the mystics I've been reading lately say the same thing: believe, in your heart of hearts, don't let Ego Mind infiltrate, stay in the present, trust and surrender to "GOD" {insert your accepted term here} and you will find the freedom you were seeking.  Because, one book said that, and I sort of believe, that we only suffer from the symptoms of our disbelief not the actual disbelief.  The actual disbelief is nothing more than a construct of the Ego Mind attempting to retain control over its own existence in your life.

So, with weight loss, for instance.  It is so easy to become swept up in the hype of fad diets, magic pills, extreme measures (both dietary and physical alterations) thinking that your reality can be altered from the material plane.  I don't know what to say about this.  I've been athletic my whole life.  I weigh the most now that I have ever weighed in my life.  It's not an easy thing to surrender to.  I've struggled on the material plane to alter my current physical state with little luck.

Someone mentioned that it could be energetic.  Maybe diet pills and extra laps around the track won't suffice.  It's a matter of some greater, deeper, struggle that my Ego Mind and my heart, my true self, must finally reconcile.  This seems to be a diet of negative words, negative actions (poor diet and bad habits) and negative fear (believing I will never find my perfect form, shape or condition).    

So, now, with a full and open heart I am working on the belief that I am in perfect form, shape and condition NOW.  Not after the diet pills take effect, not after I run 100 miles, not after I have surgery.... NOW.

So I let it be, just as it is, knowing it is perfect, AND SO IT IS.
