Love yourself and others is the main message of near death experiences, it can not be said enough. We will help ourselves and others as we learn. © 2009 – 2014, Lekatt. All rights reserved. Denying yet loving yourself The Hindu notion that the deeper soul is opposed to the self, and true spirituality lies in denying one’s finite temporary identity to seek the Atman. The Buddha said that the true disciple becomes disgusted with form, and everything else, up to consciousness, his dissipation sets him free. It is also important to have a natural and healthy love for yourself. When I was fed up with myself I was willing to give up my identity and become love in its fullest. I wanted love to take over me so I wouldn’t have any more negative thoughts. I wanted it more than anything in the world. At the same time I love myself and like the fact that I am an individual who can make her own choices. God has given us a certain amount of freedom. Jesus said to take our cross and follow him. This means we must find a cause that promotes the way of love and do anything to keep it going, whatever that means. If you have to eat one less meal a day, if you have to donate money to a charity, or spend extra hours on the phone helping others — do that. In Hinduism it is said we are all one with the eternal one Brahman. Being separate from Brahman is our ignorance. When we choose to live on this earth we may forget who we really are. Lekatt told me, “Remember who you are.” © 2009 – 2021, Lekatt. All rights reserved. Self-Acceptance. The process of learning to love yourself. You are OK. You are where you are supposed to be in life. If you were supposed to be somewhere else then you would be somewhere else. Accept who you are right now, this moment, don’t look ahead to tomorrow. Self-Acceptance is Self-Love. God is love, unconditional love, He accepts you today just as you are, you don’t have to do, or believe anything different than you do right now as you are reading this paragraph. So, if God is willing to love you and accept you, why wouldn’t you accept and love yourself. Love is the beginning of all knowledge, practice loving yourself today, now. “Self-love, my liege, is not so vile a sin, as self-neglecting.” William Shakespeare, Dramatist and poet © 2009, Lekatt.
