And So It Came to Pass...

And so it came to pass in the weeks and days leading up to the Winter Solstice of 2012 and the great cyclical galactic alignment that the forces of duality provided the residents of planet earth plenty of chances to make the choice for love and forgiveness.  Plenty of challenges were brought forth to allow humans to feel and release their deepest fear and anger.  Choose love these challenges asked .... Choose forgiveness... Learn and choose compassion.  Let go of the old fears and angers and choose love.  But most of all choose love and forgiveness for yourself...

Compassion for Ourselves...

Compassion for another is suggested as a way to increase your own vibration and help heal the other human and the planet.  But often we forget that it is just as important to have that compassion for ourselves.  We are often not aware of the negative programming and the unconscious guilt that we have taken on and how it has affected our health and our abilities.  Forgive yourself for any conscious and unconscious programming, be kind to yourself, pay attention to the self talk and be easy on yourself.  
You are an infinite being having physical experience.   Remember that...

With True Self Love You Will Just Be...

We are told to love ourselves but I am not sure how that feels.   In a quote from an online business journal the writer tries do differentiate between ego and self confidence.  “It's important to recognize the difference between being ego-driven and being self-confident. When you're self-confident, you know you're doing the right thing without violating the well-being of the people around you. When you're driven by your ego, you disregard everyone else.”

On yourdictionary.com self love is defined as ‘the belief you hold that you are a valuable and worthy person’.   They go on to state that ‘you have a positive view of yourself and are confident in yourself and your place in the world.’
So perhaps self love means knowing who you are and are confident in that but you don’t brag about it.   And if you become confident enough in who you are, what you believe and how you treat the world around you then you don’t even have to think about self love and self confidence.  You will just be.

You thank you...

Gratitude is often said to be of high spiritual importance.  And we often verbalize our sighs of relief with "thank god".   I am going to ask you to look in a mirror or just look at yourself in your mind's eye and say thank you to yourself.  Thank yourself for being the beautiful person that you are.   This is an aspect of gratitude I think we often forget or feel that it would be wrong to do.    I thank you for being the beautiful person that you are.   You thank you also.    

Lessons to Learn...

There are lessons to learn in this life and if we can learn them we learn them forever.   Learning to love  wasn't as difficult as learning to love myself.  It's easier for me to learn to listen than for me to learn to receive.   What does it mean to be able to love oneself and what does it mean to learn to receive?  I guess that is what I need to learn.  

The gate is opening....now is the time.....
