Question:

Healing my pain

I've been unsuccessful in trying to lose weight through the years which has been very distressing. I've been vigilant on all sorts of diets with such little reward. I think perhaps something is wrong with my body functioning?

I now recognize that the purpose of my challenge is to bring up the pain that I have locked inside me. It is hidden under this challenge (weight). I allow this feeling to rise and fully feel it in order to embrace it with my unconditional love.

Arnold, is it correct to say that I don't have to engage in examining this challenge; that is not why it is happening? It is occurring solely for the purpose to alert me to embrace my buried pain that I have inside of me.

Arnold, can you comment on this?

Also thank you so much for your contribution to my healing.

 

Answer:

You came into the human to initially experience yourself as less than who you really are -- the Power and Presence of God. You created the weight so that you could judge it and feel terrible about it. This is how you hid the enormous power that you had to hide in order to have your human experiences.

Now you are in the process of locating the hiding places and reclaiming the power so that you can be in the human in the fullness of who you really are. Feeling the feelings that you call "pain" is a significant part of reclaiming the power. However, the process of reclaiming the power is feeling the energy that you call "pain" as the Power and Presence of God flowing through you.

I suggest that you read THE JOURNEY since that will give you a more detailed picture of the process that you are experiencing. Opening the energy that is locked in the hiding places is an extraordinary opportunity, for you uncover the true magnificence of who you are. Since all that you see is you, when you see your own magnificence your whole world becomes that magnificence!
