Self Love

Today I'd like to talk about a sensitive topic.

It's one that I completely misunderstood my entire life and I'm sure that many of you, also, do not have a complete understanding of what the term "Self Love" really means. This morning, for the first time in literally years, I woke up BEFORE my alarm went off. When I did, it was as if I was being addressed. A voice in my head explained to me that self love isn't about how I FEEL about myself. It's about how I TREAT myself. The voice went on to describe the relationships between Higher Self and self. I was shown an image of something I see all the time but until now I didn't realize I was being taught something. The image was that of me petting on either one of my cats. Each time I paid attention to my cats I noticed that the more I pet them, the more they lick themselves. They were teaching me two things. One thing I will touch on later in a separate piece, but for now, they were showing me that each time I pet them, they "pet" themselves. This is an incredible bit of insight that they have taught me. Cats are whole because they fully "get" that we are NOT our bodies. Our bodies must be cared for and loved as if they were our children. They are NOT "us" but they SERVE us. What is causing all of the sickness everywhere is this this total incomprehension of the REALITY of our physical condition in this plane of existence. That is, that we are Spirits inhabiting or sharing the physical body of an animal that NEEDS OUR LOVE AND ATTENTION. It is NOT us, and yet it is. Our body is our lower self. There is a huge difference between loving your lower self "your-self" and being "self-centered". It is a nuance in language that is so subtle that I had never noticed it before. If you can manage to break the inertia of past habit and look at "your-self" in the mirror, and MAKE the connection to your body and REALIZE what I'm talking about here you will understand. You will find an incredibly important piece to the puzzle of life. YOUR life. Most of us who have developed sickness or illness have had this occur BECAUSE WE AREN'T LISTENING TO OUR-"SELVES". It is so strange to think of this body that I live in as someone who needs consideration beyond what "I" want, but it IS the case. I know how this may sound, but it's the TRUTH. It's the very essence of the wisdom on ancient knowledge passed down the generations to us from our ancestors in the phrase, "The Royal We". "We" (plural) for each singular individual, IS the key to the concept of the FACT that we are Spirit and body (will) which is to say our HIGHER SELF riding around in our LOWER self.

If it helps, think of us as a little speck of light who lives symbiotically in an animal who depends on us COMPLETELY in exchange for sharing it’s body with us. WE ARE the alien race that we have been dreaming of all this time. It’s US. WE are the ones who came to earth and merged with these animal beings and the proof of the history is in our language. The clues are all around us. We have forgotten who we are. We selfishly use our bodies without regard to their needs so habitually now that we don’t even recognize them as the entity that we use. They are us, but they are NOT us. When they die, we continue. THEY continue through the biological progression we call “reproduction”. WE continue past death and do whatever we do between co-habitations until we return in a different body.

Even if you cannot stretch your mind to believe this is true, (which I assure you it is) let’s just focus on the part that will make a difference in your life. The NOW.

Self Love is the care and feeding of the animal self that you and you alone are in charge of. If you don’t take care of it, it will feel neglected and will begin creating problems for you until it gets your attention. All it wants is your love. It is part of you and yet it NEEDS to be treated with the same kind of respect and consideration that you would treat your best friend or lover with. Going back to the example of the cats.... When you pet them, they pet themselves. Why is this? Because they are showing us that the body is your temple. Your pet. Your vehicle through the physical, but more importantly, it LOVES YOU. You MUST Love it back or it will die.

In order for you to do that, you must LISTEN to it. MOST of us do not do this. We carry on about what we want and what we need all the time, but we forget, that our “self talk” is being listened to by the child within....the lower self. The body. The will. It absorbs EVERYTHING you tell it. It doesn’t naturally recover from abuse. Especially mental abuse. When a woman looks into a mirror and sees her body and becomes critical of it, that is damaging. It HURTS the body to be told it’s not good enough. It causes the body to cry out in pain and suffering. The body expresses this in the form of illness. You see, our bodies have for us an absolute unbelievably intense unconditional love. If we tell it we are unhappy with it, it will actually begin to die in an attempt to set us free to reincarnate into a different body. When we express a wish to be the opposite sex, it will attempt to give us what we want. If we remain unhappy with what it can do, it will begin to decline. When we LOVE our-“selves” we send a contrary message to the body. We tell it that we are GRATEFUL for it’s abilitys and it’s appearance and everything that it does for us. We tell it that we LOVE it and that it has more VALUE than any possession that we may own. Remember the phrase, “well? At least you have your health!”? What does that actually mean? It means well? At least you have the love and dedication of your ever faithful body who will stick to you and by you until it can serve you no longer. Our body’s are like pets. Unfortunately, we don’t seem to have sense enough to REALIZE them anymore (if we ever actually did beyond the point of our genesis)

Now, it occurs to me that there will be some of your who are going to start hollering that this whole thing puts a serious wrench in your religious beliefs. But you’ll notice I never said that there wasn’t a Supreme Being. Well? That’s because there IS .......a Supreme Being. Remember the sacred Trinity? It’s all described right there. “Father, son, and holy ghost” Father is the Supreme Being, Son would be the lower self, and YOU......the one who is reincarnated over and over in many lifetimes as many people both male and female.....are the holy ghost.

So I know that this is a LOT to lay on you all at once, but just consider it. Because I know, that in your heart of hearts.....you KNOW this to be true. Nothing is required of you to believe it, you don’t even have to ADMIT that you believe it. But AT LEAST entertain the concept and start treating “your-self” as someone who you like and respect and are GRATEFUL FOR, and treat your body like your pet or child and see if you don’t suddenly start LOOKING better, FEELING better and most importantly ............feeling WHOLE.

Remember that stuff I mentioned before about how you cannot love someone else until you learn to love yourself? Perhaps this new and vital bit of information will make that whole thing make more sense. Face it. Each one of you is a pair. This information is my gift to you. I hope you take it to heart.
