SELF-LOVE
THIS WEEK as part of my occupation as co-host of the group called Meditation and Mastery, we looked at the subject of self-love. To me, self-love does not only mean love of your present God-self but learning to love your authentic self as and where you are. This means being able to love and appreciate all of you are now as well as all of you that you have ever been. I know the “I was so stupid/ignorant/hasty” part of you that I/we are so glad we have now ‘overcome’. Still, we sometimes find ourselves being just as “stupid/ignorant or hasty” as we felt we were in the past.
Courage – we have all been there. We have all said at various times…:I thought I had gone past that,got over it, passed the test”… Well, here is part of the real truth. That test was for that part of your life. The further we go, the more we learn and the experiences can look like the same ones we had before. It’s like changing planes. On our journey, we sometimes have to go through several Immigration and Luggage checks. Don,t worry, it is all part if the process.
But here is the thing. Self-love means being able to love and appreciate not only who you know yourself to be now but all the selves we were. Don’t divide yourself into the “good me/bad me”. We all have what is sometimes referred to as the ‘shadow self’. Accept them as your guideposts on your journey. When you think you have learnt the way, give those incarnations of your self to the present light of your self that you now see and know. That Self is warm, loving and forgiving, like a beautiful Mother. It is the light of your own Beloved Self as You now understand it.
