Overeating Q: I have a relationship with my eating and my body that I'd like to stop. I eat, or rather binge, when I'm not hungry physically, and I tend to do it sometimes until I throw up. B: All right. Do you have a good time? (AUD: laugh). Q: No. B: All right. May I ask you a question? Q: Yes. B: Are you doing in your life what excites you the most? Q: No. B: Why not? Q: Umm... B: May I ask you another question? Q: Yes. B: What, right now, excites you the most that you would or could be doing in your life? Q: Playing the piano. B: Why aren't you? Q: Umm... B: Here it comes. (AUD: laugh). In no way, shape, or form am I denigrating or being demeaning to you; but recognize that many individuals, when they create the so called reasons for why eating is going on, are basing these reasons on foundations they think to be solid, but carry no more weight than any of the reasons themselves. Now, truly, is there truly one, I'll accept one, good reason for why you are not doing what you really want to do? Just one. I'll make it easy for you. Q: (laugh) Umm... B: One good reason. Q: Okay. I need enough money to... B: Uh, that doesn't do it. (AUD: laughter) I'll tell you why, because money is only a tool like any other tool. It is only one way to think of and manifest, what you call, abundance. Only way. Recognize that every idea-- the idea that you are a pianist-- is an idea. Every idea comes complete with all the ingredients necessary for the support and manifestation of that idea, automatically, synchronistically. Now, the idea is that if you are willing to be that idea and act fully like that idea that excites you the most, you will then automatically, synchronistically, coincidentally attract whatever ingredients, situations, relationships are necessary to support that idea. Whatever is there, is what is necessary to support you in being that idea. Whatever is not there, is not necessary. Therefore, you may find that you are only creating an expectation and an assumption that money has to be necessary in order for you do this idea. Now, if it is truly necessary, the moment you start acting like you are already a pianist, the money, if it is necessary, will automatically flow to you. Or an opportunity that will allow it to flow to you will flow to you. The idea is that you do not simply trust that you are that idea. That it will not support itself automatically, like every other idea you are willing to be supports itself automatically. Q: And if I start doing more of what I really want to be doing, I'll stop eating like that? B: You can. For you will recognize that many times the idea, it is somewhat connected to the idea of, what you call, "overweightness," in the sense that many individuals find that they will create that scenario for similar reasons, and that is that they are, by a coincidental cross reference in your language, find that they are overweight because they are not doing, they are waiting to do. Q: Oh. (OTHER AUD: laugh). No! B: When you begin to do what you know you want to do, you stop waiting. (AUD: laughter and comments). Therefore, the idea is that you're only replacing all of the energy with some substitute symbol -- the food. You know it is not what you really want, therefore you get rid of it just as quickly as you pile it in. But the idea is to simply know that all you are reflecting is the idea that you do recognize that there is a flow of energy going through you; but you are not placing it in the direction you know is true for you. The way to tell which direction is true for you is to pay attention to your excitement, because excitement is the physiological translation of the fundamental vibrational energy that represents the path you chose to be. Follow your excitement. You will always be exactly in synchronous harmony with the person you chose to be in this life. Follow your excitement. Then you will be feeding yourself in a spiritual way that will flourish you in a way that the physiological food cannot. You simply find that the food is a substitute for the symbolic reflection that you feel you are starving spiritually, not physically. Do what excites you. You will be supported. This is one of the few things I can guarantee one hundred per cent. (AUD: Laughter and comments). That goes for each and every one of you. Q: Wow! B: When you do the thing that excites you, synchronistically and automatically all the necessary ingredients to support you in continuing to be that idea will flow into your life, because you have been willing to be completely vulnerable. Being vulnerable is not being weak. Being vulnerable is being completely open to All That Is. Being open to All That Is and willing to receive all the ways in which All That Is can manifest in your life is being connected to All That Is. Being connected to All That Is is being ultimately strong. So, vulnerability is infinite strength, not weakness. (AUD: comments and applause). I will assume, of course that you are all applauding yourselves. (AUD: laughter) Thank you. Sharing!
