Love and Respect
We must Love and Respect ourselves as much if not more than we Love and Respect others. You might ask; why must we do that? We must do that because how we Love and Respect ourselves sets up a vibration/energy around us. That vibration/energy colors our aura in such a way that we can only attract individuals and things to us that vibrate at the same rate or at a lower vibrational rate, because we are unable to handle and maintain a higher vibrational rate because our system has not been prepared to handle a higher rate of vibration/energy. How we fashion our vessel vibrationally, which is our body, determines the amount of energy we can handle. It is similar to a newborn baby. You would not take a small piece of apple and feed it to a newborn because the newborns system cannot handle solid food. The newborns system must be prepared over time as its body grows and matures for such a drastic change in diet. So must our system when it comes to Loving and Respecting ourselves, especially when we are older and have not been caring for ourselves as we should. It takes time to change. However, that does not give us the right to procrastinate and take our time when it comes down to making such change in our lives. We must facilitate a space for that change and allow it to take place as quickly as possible.
We are taught that thinking about self and doing that which makes us happy is being selfish, we have been totally deceived. Think of yourself as an instrument that is designed to do a specific precision task to facilitate a specific outcome. If you are not finely tuned, and in complete precision working order, you will throw everything out of whack, and the task will be impossible. Well, living as we are designed to live is the precision task I am speaking of. Moreover, to carry out our task of living life as planned, means that we must Love and Respect ourselves totally. In order to set the wheels of Love and Respect in motion, we must be selfish, we must focus on ourselves, and do whatever it takes to remold our thinking, words, and actions in such a way that they align perfectly with Divine Plan so that we enter into the awesome state of Self Love and Self Respect.
I chose to place the picture of the Heart OM at the top of this because the heart symbolizes Life, Love, and compassion, that which we must have for ourselves before we can project it towards others, and because the OM symbol represents the word/vibration, the creation sound that SPIRIT spoke/uttered to bring everything into existence. We must speak/utter the words of Love and Respect as we open to and start Loving and Respecting ourselves.
As I think in depth about this, I actually believe and must say the following. We cannot, and will not truly Love and Respect others as we should if we are not Loving and Respecting ourselves as we should. Without Love and Respect we have absolutely nothing, absolutely nothing at all.
Love Is Our Eternal Equalizer!
