We hear it from so many different angles, and places, and yet many of us never get it. You are the sum of all your previous thoughts. As a man thinketh, so is he.
Maybe the reason so many never catch on, is because our physical reality is so much more present, that we reverse the truth with the altogether misunderstood maxim, "You are what you eat". We begin to think that what we do in the physical world, makes us who we are, and that we are what others see, and tell us we are.
Nothing could be less true. I want to change my body, to become more healthy, and yet, all I have been doing, has been changing my eating habits. That may accidentally work for people, and so they let that reinforce their misconception. I have had no visible changes; I hover at my very overweight 220 lbs.
But I feel better, since I stopped drinking soda pop, and eating snack foods and fast foods, and so many similar things. So I have had an impact, but for me, there will have to be a change of mind, and heart, and not just of habits.
Through a series of fortunate events, I have discovered http://www.welikeitraw.com/ and so much comes into focus that was once blurry. How many fat vegetarians do you know?
The body has needs, and they are not processed, fatty, greasy nutritionally-depleted foods. The body was designed to process what the earth produces. Many of us have damaged, some beyond repair, the systems in our body that must process foods and protect us. For those who have not destroyed those systems, the damage can be reversed, and there are stories all around us of people who have done just that.
So, the next leg of my journey begins. This part will feature much more reading, and interacting with others who are where I want to be.
I believe the change is just a matter of time, for the body, but the mind must lead.
