Self-Love: The Gateway!

The phrase "love yourself first" to some may sound like something selfish or vain but self-love is really the gateway to being able to experience unconditional love. Why do I say that? Well walk with me through this.... It is only once you have truly come to a place where you feel complete and whole as a person (not needing of anything or anyone to complete you) can you be confident enough, fearless enough, stable enough to express unconditional love to someone as well as accept it from someone! Most times when we as humans think unconditional love, we first think of the love a parent has for their child and the reason we make that connection is because it's a situation where we get to witness a certain level of selflessness. If the parent's love is not truly unconditional in its nature and is regulated by the need to be needed, it will show up as the child becomes older and more independent. Remember, unconditional love is a love that is never grudging; its the kind of love that can never be taken advantage of because it's never withholding or waiting to be compensated. It is the kind of love that is supported by one's true nature. And what is one's true nature?? To operate as a whole and complete idea manifested on this earth as a whole and complete human!

Self-Love is also the gateway to true self-awareness. Why is this true? Anytime one begins to journey within, "the spirit" (the idea from which we originated) is aroused and reawakened. This idea is unique in every person and can only be revealed through an inward quest. It cannot be dictated, passed down, or even molded by anyone. It is the authentic self and it will reveal itself to you. This is the food the soul has longed for. This is why we say, "Go Within and You'll Never Go Without!" Here you will get direction about all that needs healing and the process will begin at once.

Here is what came to me:

Self-awareness is not an easy process, fortunately though once the space has been made for new thoughts, ideas, and revelations it never goes away; your yearning for the truth will only become more aggressive. A mild desire becomes a burning one. Even if you turn your back on the journey, the journey will never turn away from you; knowing that the reason you initially turned within was because you had already gone without (outward) and was left unsatisfied and will again be guided inward where an unlimited supply awaits the soul.
