Angel Whispers is a weekly
inspirational message from your angels by Russell Forsyth.
Week of July 5, 2009:
Self-Love
The last few whispers on empowerment
and simple have led me directly into this week's study in a
way that answers many of my endless streams of questions
(tee hee). Our bodies are complex organisms with
multi-faceted energy and chemistry. So how do we keep life
simple in a complex body system?
Self-love seems to hold the key to
almost every question of life. When you discover how to
truly love yourself, you unlock the doorway to showing
others how it is done. This gives permission and information
to the people around you in a way that helps them find the
love within you. Have you ever tried to show love to someone
who is down on themselves? That kind of outlook does not
lend itself to a flow of loving energy. On the other hand,
when you meet someone who is filled with love for themselves
and whose love is not based in ego or narcissism, it becomes
easy to fall into that vibrant energy.
Here is a quote I like by W. H.
Auden: "The image of myself which I try to create in my own
mind in order that I may love myself is very different from
the image which I try to create in the minds of others in
order that they may love me." This brings up a good point
regarding the differences in our views and actions around
loving our self and the way others love us. Let's get a view
from above in the form of a whisper from an angel:
The competitive spirit places
limiting beliefs around the truth of love in the form of
thoughts, abuse and control that is often justified in
religion and family structures. Competing for love brings
the energy of control as the focus for 'winning' love.
The God-self lives within every human being and is
accessed through self-love. Without this connection, the
individual may face many great challenges as the path of
learning begins by looking in the mirror. Once you see
love in a reflection of your true essence, you are then
free to embrace the Christ Consciousness.
Self-love requires disciplined yet nurturing actions that
are in alignment with the true nature of the energy of
love, in order to avoid affects that distance one from the
self. If you are waiting for the perfect conditions in
order to address self-love, you are supporting an
illusion. When you love yourself, you are expressing a
love for life, a willingness to experience the positive
lessons of love, forgiveness at the highest level and
acceptance that vibrates with the soul.
If you were to see an image of self-love, it might look
like a black hole in the center of the body. Upon closer
inspection you would see stars, heavenly bodies and an
entire solar system revolving around your essence. This
would represent the duality of love that, on the surface,
might appear to be without substance, but with discernment
could unfold into the deepest mystery and meaning of life.
Bring joy, ease suffering
and create beauty, then dance like you mean it!
Blessings, Russell
