We are all One. To understand how to love your whole self fully, practice loving everyone you think of and meet. If you feel like you lack self-love, it is usually because somewhere in your life you are withholding love from “others.” In essence, they represent the parts of yourself that you are withholding love from. If each and everyone “out there” is really a part of you, then if you are withholding love from any of them, you are withholding love from yourself. You are withholding love from them because somewhere within, you have been programmed by the ego to believe that you are not worthy of being fully loved. Feeling a sense of lack, separateness, loneliness, sadness, confusion, guilt, inner conflict and a lack of fulfillment are all signs that you are withholding love from others and thus from yourself. You cannot live aligned with such an energetic expression and still feel fully loving towards yourself. By not loving others, you think you are punishing them. But who are you really withholding that loving experience from? Today, let us note what we are doing to ourselves. Today, let us practice no longer withholding love and its expressions such as those of compassion, forgiveness and kindness. When we stop withholding, we begin to more fully and consistently experience them ourselves. By doing so, a sense of Oneness, wholeness and fulfillment will be felt. Today, decide to offer compassion instead of anger, forgiveness instead of judgment, understanding instead of resentment, and love instead of hate. Today, simply offer all others the love that you yourself would like to experience. Do so and you will begin to feel God’s all-encompassing Love embrace you throughout your day.
The main reason you would ever withhold God’s all-encompassing Love from yourself is because you have forgotten Who created you. You have forgotten that as God’s creation, you are forever worthy of His Love. You have forgotten that, being all One, so too is everyone else worthy of love. A sense of lack, separateness, loneliness, sadness, confusion, guilt, inner conflict and a lack of fulfillment are all signs of self-doubt. They show you have forgotten what you long ago knew. Self-doubt is a symbol and a sign of a lack of self-love. Yet do not despair for self-doubt is not a real aspect of your eternal loving essence. It is simply a sign that is trying to show you that you have deviated from your sacred path. Today, let us not judge ourselves for being out of alignment with our eternal loving essence. Instead, let us practice loving all those that are placed on our mental and physical path. Let us see them as helping us heal and recall how to once again fully love our whole-self. Today, imagine all those “out there” that you are judging and condemning as simply a part of you that you are withholding love from. They represent aspects of you that are calling out for help and healing. Today, if you desire to feel God’s all-encompassing Love, Oneness, then forgive and stop withholding your love. Anytime you forgive another you open the door to love and thus to loving yourself more completely. When you offer any of Love’s expressions such as those of forgiveness, compassion, peace, joy and understanding they become a greater part of your experience. Today, thank your brothers and sisters for bringing you the opportunities to practice forgiving them. By doing so you will recall how to heal and love yourself more.
Today, let us practice offering love and its expressions in whatever ways the moment is requesting. Sometimes the moment may be calling you to forgive. Others times, to offer hope. Still others times, to help bring joy to others. All these are simply opportunities being offered to you. They are showing you how indeed worthy you are of all of Love’s expression. Through such experiences, you learn how to love your whole-self more. The more we practice offering Love’s expressions, the more worthy of them we feel. Equally so, the more grateful we are to ‘others’ for being a part of our process. A process and journey that is helping us recall that our whole-self, every part of us, is worthy of love. The more love-filled we become the more love we have available to share with others. By doing so the more love-fill our days and lives will be. As you begin to open yourself to offering Love’s expressions to more and more people your circle of love and compassion will expand. Love will then become a more normal and natural reflection and expression of who in truth you are. Today, offer and consciously align with the love that in truth you are. The more you do so the more natural it will feel to be surrounded, embraced, cared for, and at One with God. The more at One you feel with God the more you will want to reflect His loving essence and presence on Earth. Today, allow God’s divine’s presence to become your constant companion. The more you get to live in The Divine presence the more grateful, kind, peaceful, forgiving, joyful and compassionate you will become. Aligned with this state of mind the more others will benefit from your company and example. As your circle of love and compassion expands the more people will be included in that circle. Here you will learn how to love all those parts of yourself that you once withheld your love from.
Today, let us recall that we are all One, and so when the ego once again demands that you judge ‘another,’ instead view it as a call from the Universe, asking you to love a part of yourself that you have been withholding love from. Today, if the ego demands that you judge and condemn, see it as an opportunity to stop that line of thinking. In doing so, you practice taking back control of your mind. Then do the opposite of what the ego demands, and decide to forgive and show greater compassion. When the ego insists they are unworthy of your help, love them by offering them hope and healing. When the ego calls for anger, love them by overlooking their trespasses and focusing only on their eternal essence and nature. God is Love and All. Thus all your brothers or sisters can in truth ever do is to love you or forget to love you. When they forget to love, you remind them by the loving way you react and treat them. Being all One, as we remember to love all others as God loves us, we unite with the Divine, and by doing so learn to love our whole-self.

I get confused about these things because if someone is truly an abusive person can you open the door To a relationship ? Shouldn’t we love them from a distance?
Thank you Nechama for your question.
You are here to be the light of the world. To be the light of the world you must first be self-loving. Allowing abusive people into your life is not a self-loving act. Being all One, loving abusive people from a distance is a self-loving act.

Wow, what an empowering message. I have been struggling for some time now with “judgement”. Its been nearly a year since I had a brain tumour removed and its taking time to recover not only physically but emotionally, mentally and spiritually. At times Ive felt completely aligned with myself,therefore functioning more in the True State of Myself and then other times, I find myself very dysfunctional. Im getting to know myself and becoming aware of the difference between the True Me and My Ego. I fully appreciate the message here you’ve shared. This I know will help me with how I treat myself and others on a conscious level – Love or Judge? That alone brings me to a state of peace. Thank You!
Thank you Ngaire for being open to the message and for being a member of our community.
When judgment tries to enter your mind’s gate, simply ask yourself: “Am I, as God’s creation, not worthy of peace? If so, let me now forgive, give all my judgments over to God, and visualize and feel them, dissolve in His perfect and loving light.”
When judgment tries to enter your kingdom, do not feed it with your time, focus and energy, instead see it as a call from the Universe asking you to practice forgiveness or self and others. The more you get to practice the more normal and natural self-forgiveness and forgiveness others will feel. Then thank your judgmental thoughts for helping you practice forgiveness.
When it comes to tumors, youtube and learn about plant based eating/nutrition high in fiber and good fats and low in carbs, and water fasting. Those are two of the best available tools to fight off toxicity in the body.
