LOVE

We have been conditioned to believe that to love, we need somebody else. In other words, we think love isn’t about us but about the other person.

Contrary to popular belief, love isn’t primarily about the other person. It’s about finding the love in ourselves—and that’s something no one else can do for us. Love always comes from our own center. We are the necessary ingredient for love in our life.

Love is about our relationship with our One Self. How strange then that it’s widely believed that to love One Self is selfish! People even think it’s egotistical to love One Self. However, when we understand who we are, we realize it’s imperative to love our One Self if we are ever to experience a fulfilling relationship with another.

Once we start loving our One Self, the love energy within us expands to all human beings and to existence itself. Once we are in a state of delight, the whole of existence is delightful. To love, all we do is share with others our delight in ourselves and in life!

For this reason, we should look within our One Self for the love we seek, not on the outside. Everything we need is there for us to learn, to expand, to grow, to create peace and bliss in our unique way.

Only we can be our unique One Self. We don’t need to be like anyone else. For this reason it’s crucial not to abandon our One Self for the sake of keeping an outer love that asks us to give up being our One Self.

When we love our One Self unconditionally, we accept every part of ourselves. We accept our egoic mind with its turbulent thoughts. We accept parts of us we disowned long ago, even those parts we dislike. Compassion for ourselves is the door to our inner treasure. We accept everything we experience in ourselves totally.

It’s important to learn to enjoy being our One Self because we will spend the rest of our life with One Self, even though we may walk down the path side by side with another.

From this relationship, we are in relation with All That Is. By finding love within our One Self, we find God, for God is infinite love. We are one with that!
