What Are My Beliefs about Food?

    Abraham: The beliefs that you hold regarding food are boldly reflected in the experiences you are living:

‧     If you believe that you can eat most anything and not gain weight, that is your experience.

‧    If you believe that you gain weight easily, then you do.

‧    If you believe that certain foods give you an energy boost, you do.

‧    If you want to be slender, but you believe that a particular diet is not conducive to being slender, and you take the action of eating that diet, you will gain weight.

People often initially balk at our seemingly simplistic analysis of your beliefs about food and how they affect your physical reality, because they believe that their belief have come about by observing experience, and it is hard for them to argue with the “factual” evidence that the living of their own life and the observation of other’s lives has provided them.

         However, observation of results gives you scanty and inadequate information, for unless you are factoring in desire and expectation, then calculating the action of what has or has not been eaten is irrelevant. You simply can not leave out the most important ingredient in the recipe of creation and understand the outcome.

         People respond differently to the food because the food is not the constant—the thought is. It is the way you are thinking about the food that is making the difference.
