Dear Ones,
As you know, I often return to the theme of Self-love. I sense the future generation will know naturally how to love themselves unconditionally. The New Earth emerges literally through love and will be sustained by love. We are the brave bridging generations, being born in times when many structures were built in fear, and so we absorbed those beliefs based on lack, separation and limitation at the beginning of our lives. But very fortunately, during our lives new higher ideas became available to us.
And so, much of our inner work involves shedding those old fear-based beliefs and uncovering the stunning beauty of our true nature. The image I am receiving as I write to you is a sculptor working in stone. An idea widely attributed to Michelangelo describes the sculpture as already existing within the marble, with the sculptor simply removing what is unnecessary.
Love that we are, love that is our true nature, can’t be diminished by anything; it can only be covered up by the heavy stone of false negative beliefs. But as all metaphors are only illustrative, we don’t have to take this one literally. Perhaps in past decades, letting go of these negative beliefs felt like heavy lifting. But as we are approaching the peak of the transformational age, it is becoming much easier. Our willingness, our intention, our openness to let go and embrace who we truly are, is enough.
And so, dearest One, if you feel inspired, let go of any beliefs that you are not enough, that you are not lovable, that you are too much or too little of something. Let go of the idea that you have to judge yourself, criticise yourself or be hard on yourself. Let go of the idea that this harshness can make you “a better person.” You might have already tried this anyway. Did it ever achieve anything truly worthy?
Instead, gently open to the idea that you are lovable as you are and that you are totally worthy of your own love. That you are in fact love itself. And if that’s true, what could be easier for love than to love — to love oneself and others? I know the conditioning taught you to work hard at everything, so maybe you have to let go first of the belief that loving yourself is difficult and will take a long time.
What if loving yourself is the most natural thing? What if not loving yourself is the actual hard work and struggle which weighs you down? What if when you drop it, life becomes light like a feather? What if your vitality returns fully? What if your life becomes a wonderful love affair again? Are you ready?
Are you ready, dearest One?
I look forward to meditating with you.
