ve all the details written down, go over the situation objectively, as if this were a homework assignment about a theoretical person.

Since the cause is a thought and the effect is the outcome, what thoughts and beliefs would this theoretical person have to believe as true in order to experience that outcome? Write down all the possible beliefs that this person might have, no matter how illogical or far fetched they might seem. Write down all the possible beliefs you can think of, all that pop up. Come back to it often in the next few days or week and write down all the beliefs that come up. You may even want to get help from others to see what beliefs they can come up with.

When your list is complete, notice if there are any that resonate with you more than others. Pick those that stand out and for each of them write all the possible opposite beliefs you can come up with. For example, if a belief is, "He is afraid of not being able to support his loved ones," then the opposite might be, "He has many skills and abilities that keep him in high demand and paid well." Or if a belief is, "She doesn’t express her wants and needs," then one possible opposite might be, "She expresses herself freely and in ways that respect herself and others." Keep each new belief positive and in the present tense.

Are you included in the Grace of God? Are you protected by the Universal Spiritual Laws?

If you’re like most people, how you answer will depend on what events are taking place in your life at the time. If you are blessed in family, abundant in health, or have enough monetary resources to enjoy life, you will be much more likely to answer "Yes" to those questions. If you have just lost a loved one, are chronically sick, or fighting to make financial ends meet, you will be more likely to answer "No" to those questions.

When we are immersed in the Grace of God, life is easy: Miracles happen regularly, the right people show up at the right times, and good things come to you with little or no effort on your part. Struggle is non-existent. As I’m writing this newsletter, I’m also working on the newest An Easier Life Perfect Health Audio Series Program, "Lose Weight: Get and Keep Your Ideal Body." Working on this program kept me focused on the struggle many of us feel when overweight is an issue. As with any struggle, we can feel alone, frustrated, and overwhelmed by the problem. Although each struggle we experience seems separate and different from all others, the permanent solution to each of them is the same: Accept the Grace of God for yourself. Let me explain.

How we use the most basic of all Spiritual Laws, the "Law of Cause and Effect," is the difference between experiencing and not experiencing the Grace of God. No matter what it is called or how it is worded, almost every spirituality in the world has this truth as part of its foundation. The Bible words this Law as, "As ye sow, so shall ye reap." Eastern religions call it "karma." If just about all religions agree on this Law, why is it so many of us feel outside of the benefits of these laws so often? Has God forgotten me? Could it be that He may have looked away for just a second and pain and suffering were able to capitalize on that window of opportunity? Could it be that I've done something to bring about this pain and suffering as punishment?

The short answer to those questions: "No." Here’s the longer explanation:

If we believe, as almost all spiritualities and religions teach, that God is infinite, then there is no place that God cannot be. Therefore, whether we agree with or accept this truth or not, it is impossible for any of us to ever be separate from God. You always are within Him. Since you reside in Him, you are One with Him. As you are One with Him, for Him to forget you would mean He would first have to forget Himself. To look away from you, He would have to first have to look away from Himself (and since He is everywhere, just where would He look in order to not see Himself?). For you to be deserving of punishment, He Himself would first have to be deserving of punishment.

Because those things are all impossible, and it is impossible for us to be outside of Infinity, the question then becomes, "Why is it that we so often feel like we are outside of Him and His Laws of Grace?"

In a world of "Cause and Effect," the cause is your thought and the effect is the outcome of your thought. For example: Two friends get on a roller coaster together. One person thinks roller coasters are fun and exciting, the other thinks they are dangerous and scary. During the ride, they both have elevated heart rates, increased adrenaline flows, and their digestive systems go into "sleep mode." But one is thrilled and the other is terrified. One is in heaven and the other is in hell. It is the same ride, it is the same event, but each of them are having completely different experiences around the event because of the beliefs each holds as true. Our thoughts create our reality.

So if I believe God has forgotten me, then, even though I recognize the impossibility of the conclusion, it becomes true for me. My thoughts create the situations and the interpretations of those situations that prove my beliefs to be true. Herein lies the reason that the Law of Cause and Effect is so pivotal to each of us experiencing the All-Encompassing and Eternal Grace of God: If you believe that the Grace of God is there for you, you will enjoy it. If you believe it is not there for you, you won’t enjoy it.

Herein lies the reason the An Easier Life Weight Loss Program works – because it deals with weight problems at the level of cause, not at the level of effects. So whether you are experiencing struggle with your weight, with work, with your finances, in your relationships, or wherever it shows up, when struggle is healed at the causal level, the "effects" are also healed naturally and automatically.

We have all heard the saying, "I’ll believe it when I see it." We now see the opposite is actually true - "I see it when I believe it." Our lives and everything in them are a self-fulfilling prophecy. So if your experience is telling you that you are outside the Grace of God, know this impossibility is only true for you because a mistaken belief you hold true is creating that as your experience. Any struggle will continue for as long as we value and hold as true the beliefs that are its cause. Any struggle will disappear when we heal the beliefs that are at its cause. Find the belief that causes the struggle, heal it, and you remember you are included in and protected by the Grace of God always and in all ways. Here’s an exercise to help you get started:

Pick something that is going on in your life that isn’t perfect, something that isn’t going as well as you'd like. Start with a small problem, one that doesn’t have a lot of fear or emotional energy connected with it. Write that struggle down on a piece of paper, including as much detail as possible. When you have all the details written down, go over the situation objectively, as if this were a homework assignment about a theoretical person.

Since the cause is a thought and the effect is the outcome, what thoughts and beliefs would this theoretical person have to believe as true in order to experience that outcome? Write down all the possible beliefs that this person might have, no matter how illogical or far fetched they might seem. Write down all the possible beliefs you can think of, all that pop up.

Begin to pay attention to what happens around you. Keep an eye out for little things. Although it is possible to heal a belief system completely in the blink of an eye, most times we accept a belief slowly and we release it slowly. So as we release it, we’ll be making room for opportunities with different outcomes. The changes in your "effects" will probably start small and grow in size as the new belief becomes more firmly established. So keep an eye out for small things at the beginning. Noticing these small changes will give you good feedback and good reinforcement to continue saying this new belief to yourself and experiencing how powerful you and your beliefs are.

Once you experience how small beliefs can be healed, you will have the confidence to heal larger and larger beliefs (causes), thereby naturally and automatically healing larger and larger struggles (effects). The fewer your struggles, the more you will experience and accept the Grace of God for yourself. And the more you enjoy the experience the Grace of God, the easier your life will be!

To your easier life! Wesley
