Learn To Love Self

Love of self is not selfish.
Selfish love is an oxymoron.
Self love and self-absorption are opposites.
Honest, pure love of self is a requirement for evolution to occur.
Love is the most powerful force in the universe.
Think of love as wondrous, awestruck attention.
Most people require an external object, at first, upon which to focus their love.
This can be a lover, a guru, an idea, a baby, etc.
These external objects, however, are designed to fail you.
They must fail so that you are forced to turn inward.
Once you have developed self love, you have unconditional love to shower on all external things.
Once you have developed internal love, the veil of separation lifts and you realize all is one.
This realization allows you to love in a whole new way.
This discovery of universal truth is a quantum leap in awareness from which you can never return.
Nor would you want to.
When you discover the God in you, you automatically discover the God in others.
Then others will never fail you, because you didn’t put your trust in them, you put your trust in God!
You put your trust in the God within you.
Learn to love the God within yourself and you will learn to love the God within all.
