I don’t know about you, but all my life I’ve heard that; “you need to love yourself.” Which I felt was absolutely impossible because the “self” that I thought I was, was never good enough!
I spent this entire life trying to improve the “self” in order to be worthy of being; loved, wanted, needed and accepted. Which meant constantly people pleasing, so that others would love the self image I was constantly striving to make.
Then I started studying A Course In Miracles and learned that I have an Egotistical Programmed Body-Mind, that I thought was “myself” but actually it isn’t. This body/mind is an illusion or human costume we animate for a very short time. My True Self is an eternal Spiritual Being of light/love and one with The Divine and all other Spiritual Beings.
As I did the inner healing/work (Dark Night of The Soul or Being Born Again), the Egotistical Programmed Mind (E.P.M.) dissipated and my True Self emerged, Which caused my True Self to fall more and more in love with The Divine, desiring to surrender the human body suit to them. This looked like; constantly living in awareness of what the E.P.M. was trying to guide my human to do, while at the same time, I was aware of what The Divine’s guidance was. As hard as it was, I continually dismissed the E.P.M. and kept choosing instead; to do what was uncomfortable, inconvenient and right. That’s how I found peace, joy and happiness, which is the Kingdom of Heaven within.
Now I see the human body/mind as a beautiful communication device of love. Which is causing me to love her and want to take the best care I can of her. This means being extremely aware of what she is thinking, emotionally feeling, along with any physical symptoms she may be experiencing. Then knowing the power my True Self possesses in the Divine, I make corrections simply by; dismissing the ego’s thoughts and suggestions of symptoms, while also using the emotional feelings as a guide to do the inner healing.
I’ve come to know and understand that in order to love our True Self and Human Self, it really takes a correction in our perception of our identity. If we believe we are a human with a sinful nature that needs saving, it’s going to be really hard, I would even say impossible to truly love ourself that is never good enough.
If we know from experience that we are a Divine Being, because of all the super natural experiences we’ve had, we can love both selves because of our love and oneness with The Divine and everyone.
