Like: people (including some of my patients in pre-AURELIS era) being very unhappy because of their gaining 13 kg (26 pounds) in just a few years after putting down their last cigarette.<\/p>\n<p>Very, very unhappy.<\/p>\n<p>Sometimes they came with the story that \u201cyou see, this is inevitable because (I\u2019ve read that) cigarettes have this effect on the body and thus quitting smoking has this\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><strong>blah, blah, blah.<\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Body and mind are the same thing.<\/p>\n<p>You can look at body. You can look at mind.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s the same thing.<\/p>\n<p>More precisely, it is one thing. Not a summation.<\/p>\n<p>Sometimes it\u2019s better to look at this thing with body-glasses and sometimes it\u2019s better to look at it with mind-glasses.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><strong>AURELIS = <\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>giving you every possible support to look at it with deeper-mind-glasses<\/p>\n<p>in order for you to have your own choice. Not even my choice. YOUR choice. I agree: people are generally not used to having this choice. Thus it may appear somewhat uncanny. Forced even.<\/p>\n<p>It is the opposite.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><strong>To quit smoking is a body or mind thing, depending on your view.<\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>And gaining unwanted weight?<\/p>\n<p>The same.<\/p>\n<p>Now letting aside all ideas of guilt [see: \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/aurelis.org\/blog?p=606\">Always Responsible, Never Guilty<\/a>\u201d] or anything else that may hold you down\u2026<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><strong>The deep-mind-view is a view of choice<\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>while the body-view lends one to \u201cIt\u2019s my body, thus not really me.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The latter may be a relief in some way but it is not helpful. On the contrary, it makes you an \u2018easy target\u2019 for instance: for advertising, or for simplistically untruthful messages. It prevents you from finding (even more) strength within yourself<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><strong>for being you and only you<\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>in a very broad sense: \u2018you\u2019 being inclusive of other people and much more.<\/p>\n<p>A body-view separates us.<\/p>\n<p>A body + mind view (separated and summated) separates us.<\/p>\n<p>A deeper-mind view unites us. There is a lot to gain in this<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><strong>including to quit smoking without gaining unwanted weight<\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>because you do that from who you really are: the un-divided one (in-dividual), the whole, un-divided from yourself as well as \u2013 in a deeper sense \u2013 from your environment, from the world, from anything, including your own unwanted craving for \u2018something to eat.\u2019<\/p>\n<p>Divided from it, it may come to take hold on you. United with it, you are it: if you change, it changes.<\/p>\n<p>Now, another plain truth:<\/p>\n<p>What you eat, comes inside you. What you don\u2019t eat, doesn\u2019t.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><strong>The difference stems mainly from wanting<\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>and \u2018wanting\u2019 is almost always best viewed from a deep-mind perspective,<\/p>\n<p>which is the AURELIS-perspective.<\/p>\n<p>So, this is not a blog that tells you how, but why: because smoking and eating and many other things lie much closer to YOU than a single body-view (with or without mind in a simple summation) keeps telling you.<\/p>\n<p>Because YOU are worth to be and to always again become your finest self, your true self,<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><strong>your most beautiful self.<\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>That is what I wish for all people.<\/p>\n<p>Please, don\u2019t let anyone or anything put you down.<\/p>\n<p>Rise and be yourself.<\/p>\n<div data-object_id=\"2505\" class=\"cbxwpbkmarkwrap cbxwpbkmarkwrap_no_cat cbxwpbkmarkwrap-post \"><a  data-redirect-url=\"https:\/\/aurelis.org\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2505\"  data-display-label=\"0\" data-show-count=\"0\" data-bookmark-label=\" \"  data-bookmarked-label=\" \"  data-loggedin=\"0\" data-type=\"post\" data-object_id=\"2505\" class=\"cbxwpbkmarktrig  cbxwpbkmarktrig-button-addto\" title=\"Bookmark This\" href=\"#\"><span class=\"cbxwpbkmarktrig-label\"  style=\"display:none;\" > <\/span><\/a> <div  data-type=\"post\" data-object_id=\"2505\" class=\"cbxwpbkmarkguestwrap\" id=\"cbxwpbkmarkguestwrap-2505\"><div class=\"cbxwpbkmarkguest-message\"><a href=\"#\" class=\"cbxwpbkmarkguesttrig_close\"><\/a><h3 class=\"cbxwpbookmark-title cbxwpbookmark-title-login\">Please login to bookmark<\/h3>\n\t\t<form name=\"loginform\" id=\"loginform\" action=\"https:\/\/aurelis.org\/blog\/wp-login.php\" method=\"post\">\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t<p class=\"login-username\">\n\t\t\t\t<label for=\"user_login\">Username or Email Address<\/label>\n\t\t\t\t<input type=\"text\" name=\"log\" id=\"user_login\" class=\"input\" value=\"\" size=\"20\" \/>\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p class=\"login-password\">\n\t\t\t\t<label for=\"user_pass\">Password<\/label>\n\t\t\t\t<input type=\"password\" name=\"pwd\" id=\"user_pass\" class=\"input\" value=\"\" size=\"20\" \/>\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t<p class=\"login-remember\"><label><input name=\"rememberme\" type=\"checkbox\" id=\"rememberme\" value=\"forever\" \/> Remember Me<\/label><\/p>\n\t\t\t<p class=\"login-submit\">\n\t\t\t\t<input type=\"submit\" name=\"wp-submit\" id=\"wp-submit\" class=\"button button-primary\" value=\"Log In\" \/>\n\t\t\t\t<input type=\"hidden\" name=\"redirect_to\" value=\"https:\/\/aurelis.org\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2505\" \/>\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t\n\t\t<\/form><\/div><\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>AURELIS promise: this is possible for everyone. \u2018Unwanted\u2019 = you don\u2019t want it.
