LOVE THYSELF   We are all from the same Source and will return to the same Source. Many of your ancient and religious teachings make the statements that we are all One, that we are brothers and sisters and indeed, this is true. Know it in your hearts, look into each other’s eyes and see this Truth. Until you know in your hearts that you are the same, you will create separation, which is the downfall of any civilization.

When humans create labels of separateness, all hell breaks loose. Heaven on Earth can be a reality when each of you consciously chooses to make it so. There is one underlying theme that can make this a reality, love thy neighbor as thyself. The problem is that many of you have not learned to love thyself. How can anyone expect to love their neighbor if he cannot love himself first? This is an impossible reality.

It always begins by going within. Many of you spend an exorbitant amount of time and energy on your outer self when it comes to grooming and appearances. Yet far fewer take time to go within and do the necessary grooming that allows them to shine their inner light. This is best done in deep meditation; however, you can also reflect during any moment of the day. This can only be done if your mind is not cluttered with fear or busy-ness that keeps you distracted from what is essential, love of Self. We encourage you to make a commitment to spend time working on your inner self. Learn to connect with your personal Spirit Guides; they are waiting for you to ask for their assistance.

Hark! I hear a refrain. I hear My child say:

"My God, My lovely God Who loves everyone as He loves Himself, what more is there for me to say than that You love all, are connected to all, and all are One with You? I don’t quite get it, yet I love it, the commonality, I, who always wants to be unique and special, am excited about being One with You, God, and therefore One with everyone. Thank You for being God of All and including me. Thank You for all You give, without which I would be empty of You and bereft of all You have shown me. It is greater than a life time since I began this adventure of becoming One with You. I kiss Your feet, God, that I am part of You and getting closer to You, yes, I am."

Well, dear Ones, of course, this is My Will. Only a little more journey until you know the All of It. You are going to have a big rush or swoop and know the Ultimate and truly have Me embedded in you and you in Me so there is no doubt but that you are Mine, and We are One. Now, now, have no thought that you will be losing yourself. As nice as you are, you have been keeping Me at hand’s length. Yes, you have. You haven’t quite wanted to be all of Me, dear one. No offense, you have done some loitering around the fringes, just that tiniest of hesitation, just holding out on a fraction of yourself. Very very soon, you, My child, will be saying:

“Yes, God, now I give all of my supposed self to You. May I be like a chalice that You drink from.”

I ask you:

It’s no secret that in the fight for environmental protection, nature is losing. But sometimes, I look to great and funny minds for a little inspiration. These are my favorite quotes about the environment. Now if you’ll excuse me, I’m going to go plant a tree or two.

“What’s the use of a fine house if you haven’t got a tolerable planet to put it on?”
― Henry David Thoreau, Familiar Letters

“Oh Beautiful for smoggy skies, insecticided grain,
For strip-mined mountain’s majesty above the asphalt plain.
America, America, man sheds his waste on thee,
And hides the pines with billboard signs, from sea to oily sea.”
― George Carlin

“The poetry of the earth is never dead.”
― John Keats

“Earth provides enough to satisfy every man’s needs, but not every man’s greed.”
― Mahatma Gandhi

HJ: Since the moment you were born, society has been both intentionally and unintentionally programming you to think, act and behave in certain ways that are not necessarily for your highest good.  Part of the journey of becoming fully conscious is recognizing this and beginning the process of reverting back to your true, unconditioned self.  This article can be a big step in that direction for many people.  It lays out some fundamental principles of what we all must essentially do in order to get back to who we really are — vessels for unconditional love and authentic self-expression.  Enjoy.
