Question: Do fat people go to hell? What is gluttony? I know gluttony is wrong/a sin; but what specifically is a glutton?
Answer from ascended master Jesus through Kim Michaels:
Some fat people go to hell, and some go to heaven. In other words, a person’s weight is not what decides whether that person will go to heaven or to hell.
And by the way, Hell is not as envisioned by most Christians. Hell is a state of consciousness that is based on the illusion that it is possible to create a place that is separated from God. Therefore, Hell is not real and it will continue to exist only as long as lifestreams continue to misqualify God’s energies in an attempt to uphold the illusion that they are separated from God.
I would define gluttony as a disorder, as a psychological imbalance that borders on a mental disease and can become a full-fledged mental disease. A glutton then is a person who has lost control and cannot stop eating, even when it is destroying the physical body.
Contrary to popular wisdom, obesity or gluttony is not a genetic condition, although some people can be genetically disposed towards obesity. Everything that happens in the physical body has a psychological counterpart, and therefore gluttony has a psychological cause. There are two main reasons why people tend to eat too much.
One reason is that people have emotional wounds and therefore feel vulnerable to attacks from the outside world. As a subconscious attempt to insulate themselves from the world, they subconsciously desire to put on weight. This creates an insulating layer and gives the lifestream an, often subconscious, sense of security. It makes the lifestream feel that it can crawl into its shell and hide from the world.
This form of obesity, or gluttony, can be overcome by going into psychological healing, either using traditional forms of therapy or some of the many new therapies that have become available over the past few decades. If a person will make a serious effort, it is possible to overcome the desire to insulate oneself from the world, and this will often lead to drastic weight loss. It will also naturally lead to healthier eating habits that will reinforce the weight loss.
However, severe cases of gluttony are a form of addiction. As any chemical addiction, it is much more difficult to break. Once again, an addiction, even a chemical addiction, did not start with a physical cause. It starts with a psychological cause which then, as the chemical addiction is established, spills over into the physical body.
In terms of gluttony, it starts with the desire for protection that I described above. However, in severe cases there is more to it than the lifestream’s psychological wounds. What can happen is that the psychological wounds of a lifestream causes the lifestream to attract outside entities to itself. This can be in the form of disembodied lifestreams, meaning people who have died but whose lifestreams have not moved on into the realms of light as most lifestreams do. You can find descriptions of this phenomenon in several books, including some of the books on near-death experiences. It is also possible that a lifestream can be possessed by a malicious entity, such as a demon.
For people who suffer from severe gluttony, or obesity, I would recommend that they do a serious and objective study of this phenomenon and apply proper techniques for overcoming any outside inferences and psychological wounds. This should include spiritual protection as described on the toolbox website.
