You have all lived hundreds of lifetimes. You who read 
and resonate with these messages are old souls. Know that you are able 
to resonate with the energy of higher truths because they are your 
attained state of consciousness–otherwise messages of truth would make 
no sense. Energy flows and resonates with like energy which is why you 
are now discovering that certain people, foods, entertainments etc. no 
longer seem important–your resonance has changed while these things have
 not–you no longer resonate with them.
We come once again to speak of love, but this time with regard to love of self.
Most human beings carry some sense of self-loathing or low self esteem which often manifests outwardly through acts of violence, suicide, abuse, and actions of a negative nature or in a lesser degree in the refusal to accept help, gifts, compliments, or love.

In order to love in the highest sense, one’s own self 
must be included which often proves to be more difficult than the act of
 loving others. As an individual begins to awaken, he becomes aware of 
past experiences where he failed to meet the mark–memories of saying or 
doing things that now shock and shame him. He becomes very aware of 
human failings and begins to compare himself to what he believes he 
“should be”. Each time he reads or hears how a person must love self, he
 hears a little voice that says; “Oh, but remember you did or said this 
or that…you are not worthy of love. You are a bad person”.
Forgiveness is the first step in loving self. The basis 
for forgiveness is the understanding that a person can only live and act
 from their attained state of consciousness. Issues creating shame 
result from actions that were taken in a different state of 
consciousness –you are no longer that same place which is why you may 
react with shame regarding some past action–you are seeing from a whole 
new level.
Human beings learn from trial and error in the earlier 
phases of evolution which is what karma is all about. Karma is simply 
the balancing of energies, a way to learn and experience all facets of 
whatever particular energy an individual has set in motion. At some 
point in the evolutionary process, karma is no longer needed because one
 begins to live out from a higher level and be taught from within.
As serious students of truth you have been meditating, 
sending Light to Gaia and her kingdoms, and doing what you are guided to
 do and study. However, many of you have never forgiven yourselves for 
real or perceived faults and actions, or seriously and consciously 
considered what it means to love yourselves. Instead, the idea of loving
 self is pushed aside and ignored while your personal sense of self 
(ego) continues to carry around the belief of being “unworthy” or “less 
than” like a heavy ball and chain, lifetime after lifetime.
Even for long time spiritual students, the idea of 
loving self may feel inappropriate and like ego action– which it is not.
 These feelings simply represent a third dimensional concept of what it 
means to love self. In order to move more deeply into living, moving, 
and having your being in the higher frequencies of truth and love, you 
must include yourself for ALL are in and of the One–you as much as 
anyone else no matter how “holy” another may seem.
In your times of quiet and meditation, make a practice 
of going through all of your chakras, bringing the golden/white light 
down through each from above the crown with the intention that each 
chakra be opened, cleared, balanced, and aligned as the Light enters it.
 When you reach the solar plexus which is the seat of personal identity,
 pay special attention to the honoring of Self, stating your intention 
to clear and release any and all old energies still being held and 
acting as blockages within this chakra. The memory of some person or 
experience may pop into your awareness indicating something needing to 
be cleared. You may remember some experience or person who activates 
feelings of inadequacy or self loathing. Whether or not anything comes 
to mind at that time, state your intention to release with love, any and
 all negative energetic cords that may still be attached to you from 
people or situations in this life or past lives. Visualize Light 
flooding your whole being and especially the solar plexus chakra and 
then let it all go.
Loving self does not refer loving the ego self although 
you must also learn to accept and not resist that part. The ego self is 
not the real you, but is a perceived, false sense of self that has built
 up over lifetimes lived within the beliefs of being separate from 
Source and all others. Loving self means acknowledging your Divine 
nature and forgiving any missteps taken while in ignorance of this. 
Loving self means having the courage to admit when you are wrong while 
not berating yourself regarding some issue of the past. Loving self 
means to live out from who and what you really are in spite of 
appearances. It is a taking back of the innate power you unconsciously 
allowed to be taken from you.
During the process of learning to love self, try to 
avoid going into resistance with regard to the thoughts that may come 
into to your awareness . When a spiritual student begins to recognize 
and acknowledge his Divine nature, he often finds that there also comes 
that determined ego voice whispering of how short he falls of the truths
 he is learning and reminding him of the many ways in which he has shown
 that his nature is not Divine. There will come the temptation to resist
 these thoughts, telling oneself; ” I must not allow this voice to 
govern me. Go away, I will not accept these thoughts.”, etc. etc.
Resistance simply gives a power to these impersonal ego 
suggestions. A better inner response would be; “Yes, I have believed 
myself unworthy, and yes, I still carry guilt and feelings about certain
 things I have done in the past, but I now choose to release these old 
energies and move ever more deeply into an awareness of who and what I 
really am…to accept that I AM THAT I AM.”
Learning to recognize and ignore the ego blather will 
begin to shift your belief system. It won’t be long before you have 
reprogrammed habitual thinking and begun to trust in the truth because 
you now realize that you not only have, but are the power and presence 
to be what you are and do what you came to do.
For most, change does not happen overnight, the programs
 of separation and duality have been long in place–programs that led you
 to accept that you were less than others and that only those with 
money, looks, and power, education, or “holiness” were important or 
worthy of love. ALL are in and of the ONE. The appearances and 
circumstances of daily living for each and every person has to do with 
their pre-incarnation choices.
You are ready dear ones, ready to embrace and begin to 
actually love your selves through acknowledging that you are Beings of 
Light learning and evolving through third dimensional experiences.
Once you unlock the door of loving self as SELF, you 
will discover that this is the long hidden key, the Holy Grail, hidden 
where none find it until ready and thus you open the way for Divine Love
 and all its qualities to flow infinitely within and without.
