Eden Diet, Day 33

untitled

I have 2 days until my Water Fast begins, and therefore, I have 2 days left on my Eden Diet. My progress is way beyond the 33 pounds I’ve lost or clear smooth skin or strong clear finger nails or shiny hair or the 4 sizes I went down or increased energy and sound sleep. My true progress has been in recognizing my true purpose in life. I have begun a journey to unite my mind, body and soul.

I have entered the third stage of my life.

Dr. Carl Jung states in his essay The Structures and Dynamics of the Psyche, “The wine of youth does not always clear with the advancing years; sometimes it grows turbid.” Dr. Wayne Dyer puts it another way, “What was true in the morning is most definitely a lie in the evening.” In other words, as we mature into our midlife and late years a struggle ensues in what we believe is in our minds – some call it a midlife crisis. We begin to ask ourselves, “What am I doing here?” We struggle, because we are striving for the same goals and purposes of our youth. We are not attempting to seek out our true purpose.

Instead, we are focused on how much money we make, what kind of car we drive, the kind of clothes we wear, all of these “defining assets” consumes us into a crisis. Continuing to pursue the goals of our childhood may result in a midlife crisis or divorce or neuroticism or worse; because it’s never going to be enough. Our Ego will never let it be enough.

I have surrendered myself and became free of fear, uncertainty and doubt. I found my true purpose. I only seek to serve. I am at peace and truly understand my path.
