Self Love

It is our own responsibility to love and nurture ourselves through the limitless gift of Divine Spirit that moves through us at every moment; genuine love must come from within, and can only come through genuine spiritual connection to the eternal God-self and its inherent connection to all creation. If we seek love "on the outside" in order to fulfill a personal loneliness or lack within, we enter relationships as "energy vampires"; we are seeking a substitute for our personal God-Force connection through tapping into the God-Force embodied within other people or beings.

This is not "LOVE", it is "NEED", which implies the "LACK" of something essential, which in turn implies a limited personal connection to God-Source Universal Consciousness. Such lack cannot be filled by external "love", it can only be filled by recognizing the God within you, and thus recognizing that you are a living embodiment of absolute love. Once this is recognized you will HAVE the greatest love of all--God Love, and from this Position of Divine Power, you can go into the world seeking those too whom you can give this love, rather than seeking those from whom you can "get" love. When love is approached through Self Love, the motivation is to give joyfully, knowing that anything you might need can be made manifest through the Love of the active God Force that you carry inside yourself. Self Love is a responsibility of spiritual maturity.
