THIS WEEK’S MYSTIC MESSAGE: What’s on your to-do list?

June 7, 2010 — Rosemary

Dear Ones,

How many items are on your to-do list at this time?  Do you have the items prioritized?  And what do you consider the most important item on the list – something for your work, your family, your finances?  Or your spiritual development?

Let us suggest that you consider your spiritual development as foundational to all your other values and priorities.  When you think about your work, do you think about it as something separate from who you are as a spiritual person?  It is not separate.  You are first and foremost a spiritual being having a physical lifetime on Planet Earth and your work FOLLOWS from this – it is not the other way around.  Furthermore, your spiritual work IS your work, so you really cannot separate the two.

Many of you reading this will think that we are talking about religion here but that is not so.  It matters not which religion, if any, that you choose to practice.  Your being a spiritual person is more about the eternal, timeless you than about what you do [religion].  Think of the essence of yourself as being the spiritual you.  You are timeless, eternal.  You are greater than any of the circumstances in your life at the present time.  You are greater than the people who surround you, who like you, love you, don’t like you, help you, hurt you, ignore you.  You are also greater than the job that you perform in the world.  Your work in the world is to further your personal growth, to expand the consciousness of the spiritual being that you are in your essence.

All of your other priorities flow from this work of personal growth.  The more you work on yourself, the more you are able to help others to do so.  A person who does not do this personal work cannot offer support to others who are doing so.  Have you ever met someone who is so self-absorbed that they cannot hear you and what you are saying to them because they are focused only on how they feel, what they want or what they think/believe?  These people are not living a Conscious Life.  They are not on a path of personal spiritual growth, and they cannot help you on your path.  If you are connected to someone like this ask yourself if this person is assisting you in growing or if your association is hindering you in your own growth.  Your growth in consciousness needs to be your top priority.

Can you see whatever your work in the world might be at this time as an expression of your own personal spiritual growth?  It does not matter if you are working in an office with a lot of other people or working alone at home.  Perhaps your job is one that you hope one day to leave but, for some reason, you are still in that job.  Consider that you might be there because the circumstances or the people are offering you a laboratory, a classroom, in which you can learn lessons vital to your personal growth.  You might also be the vehicle through which others are learning their own lessons.

If you love your work, are you helping others because of your own spiritual growth?  Are others helping you to progress?  If your work is fulfilling, is it because it causes you to feel expanded, to feel your own growth through that work?  And if it is not fulfilling, what aspect is missing?  Could it be that you feel stagnant, that you cannot grow in this situation?

When you look at your family, are they supportive of your personal growth, the expansion of your consciousness or do you feel restricted by them?  Are you eager to share what you are learning through the lessons in your life or do you fear being rebuffed and thus stay closed-mouth or shut down?

Ask yourself how you feel about focusing your attention on your own spiritual growth.  Are you comfortable making this your number one priority?  Can you see how your work, your family, even your finances, are the result of your work on yourself and are not to be separated into compartments that do not connect with each other?

Now get your priorities arranged so that you can do that number one item on the list.  Focus on your personal growth first and you will be able to prioritize all the other items on the list easily.  Expand your own awareness and you will bring more resources to solving the problems inherent in all the other items on your to-do list.

Remember that you came into this lifetime to learn lessons.  When you focus on learning your own lessons, you increase the resources you have to share with others who are also learning lessons.  Fulfill your goals to expand yourself and all your other goals will be accomplished.  Make sure you do not put your own personal growth work at the bottom of the priority list – just get it done!

And so it is.

MUSE-INGS: Going ‘Home’!

May 25, 2010 — Rosemary

I know the feeling of being ‘home’ when I step onto the Big Island of Hawaii.  Every time, and I’ve been there often, it creates such a feeling of peace just to touch the Earth there.  I’ve had some amazing spiritual experiences in the Hawaiian Islands and have loved being there, even the week that was rainy from start to finish. I probably learned the most spiritual lessons that week! And every visit since then has held even greater learnings for me.

But lately I’ve been feeling drawn to the West Coast of America, and that’s a bit of a surprise to me.  Having spent most of my life in the DC area, I never thought I’d consider living near LA but that’s on the radar screen.  So why is this coming up at this time in my life?  Am I supposed to move there immediately?  What about this house in Colorado where we live now?

Have you ever felt drawn to move or to travel or to be somewhere other than where you are in a given moment?  I think Mother Earth is calling each of us to be in the spot where she can support us more fully as we go through the coming changes.  It might be near to where we currently live or it might be thousands of miles away.  We might even need to split our time between 2 homes to tap into different Earth energy depending on the time of year and our activities.  I once felt an overwhelming urge to visit Hawaii and a week later we were on a plane!  That was the trip where we met a Kahuna and had some wonderful experiences.

Where are you feeling that you should visit?  Or do you feel that you are nearing the time to make a move?  Is some external event or person causing you to change where you live?  This is all wonderful, even if the circumstances don’t FEEL wonderful at the moment!  You are receiving guidance from the Universe about your next move.  You are being led to the next home, the place where Mother Earth can cradle you in her arms and nurture you with her loving energy.  Whether the cause of the move is economic, emotional or expedient doesn’t matter.  Trust that you are being helped to the place where you need to be for the time being.

There are no accidents.  Whatever is happening to indicate that you need to be somewhere on Mother Earth other than exactly where you are now is a sign that you are on the spiritual path of personal growth.  And if you feel perfectly content in the exact spot where you now are, then you can relax and enjoy the connection and the nurturing/nourishing energy that comes from the Mother.  Where are you planning  to visit on your next trip?   Do you have a feeling that maybe you should go somewhere soon?  Maybe the time isn’t right yet but you feel that the time is coming.  In that case, you might want to get a picture of the place to which you feel drawn and post it on your vision board, or above your desk, so that you can send a message to Mother Earth letting her know that you hear her call and that you agree to follow that call when the time is right.

Get ready to pack your bags!  Whether moving your home or visiting somewhere else, Mother Earth will support you wherever you go!

MUSE-INGS: What’s the lesson in the fear?

May 18, 2010 — Rosemary

Fear.  That word seems to be popping up in all sorts of ways these days.  Be very afraid of illegal aliens, they say.  Be very afraid of the other political party [‘They’ are very scary!].  Be afraid of extraterrestrials.  Be afraid of the economy.  I could go on and on with the list, pulling stories just from today’s news.  [OK, I haven’t actually heard any extraterrestrial stories today!]

But it seems to me that there are so many ways to be fearful that it’s a chore to avoid fear.  I work very hard at it.  That’s not to say that I don’t sometimes experience fear, but I’m pretty certain there’s never been a saber-toothed tiger chasing me.  So why do we keep ourselves poised in ‘fight or flight’ mode, filled with adrenaline and cortisol, if there aren’t any tigers on our tail?

The stress of living in these days creates its own sense of a saber-toothed tiger chasing us through our lives.  We have constant sources of information being bombarded at us – radio, TV, conversations overheard in line at Starbucks, newspaper headlines on the street corners, internet headlines when we sign in to email.  Even if we choose not to listen to the news or to read the newspapers we can’t avoid hearing what’s happening and it’s always sensationalized, isn’t it?  So our primitive brains think this is the modern day tiger nipping at our heels. Stock market report? Tiger. Housing prices down?  Tiger. Job market tough? Tiger.

So what is a person to do who is trying to live a Conscious Life when they are constantly subjected to negativity?  The first thing to do is to figure out a way to de-stress your life and your body, starting with your thoughts.  How do you react to negativity?  If you take it in to yourself and embrace the negativity as the only possibility, then you have accepted that the field of all possibilities is very small.  What if you were, instead, to look at the negativity as the other side of a coin that has something positive for you to find?  What if the negativity could be observed without being taken in?  Pretend for a moment that you are surrounded by an air-permeable Plexiglas bubble through which you can see what is happening around you but where those happenings cannot penetrate your own private space.  This allows you to observe with detachment.  This also allows you to create the energy vibration of positivity within your own personal space so the negativity doesn’t lower your energy level.  When you’ve done this, you are free to look for the lesson to be learned in the experience.

Have you ever spent time with someone who is constantly focused on bad news or dire predictions or what’s wrong with their life?  Contrast that with how you feel when you are around someone who always sees the silver lining in the cloud above, or who likes people without criticizing them.  There is a huge difference in the energy of these conversations and you can feel that in your own body-mind.  We do tend to want to be with people who are uplifting, don’t we?

There’s a reason for this.  We are all striving in life to bring Light into our selves and our environment.  If you are reading these words, then you are someone who wants to be living a Conscious Life, not drifting through life without learning and growing.  In every moment there is something to learn, whether we are enjoying that moment or not.  There is always a lesson.  When we are feeling happy and joyful, we can look for the lesson to maintain that joy.  When we are feeling low or fearful, we can also look for the lesson so that we can find our way back to happiness and joy.  And as human beings we live in community so we are always hearing or seeing or being with others and their opinions and energy.

Think about the situations you experience in the coming days and notice how you feel.  What makes you feel good?  What makes you feel sad or low or angry?  What causes you fear?  When you can step out of your feelings enough to observe them then you can also see where solutions to problems lie.  When you are feeling happy and joyful look at the lessons that show you what you can replicate so that you can prolong that experience.  And look around you for ways to bring joy to others.  Sometimes thinking of others is all it takes to move one from fear to peace.

The most important thing is to be fully present to the moment that is NOW.   Are you being chased by a saber-toothed tiger or is there some other lesson to be learned?

And please let me know if there actually IS a saber-toothed tiger chasing you —  after you’re safe, of course!

MUSE-INGS: Choose to Think Thoughts Filled with Light

April 7, 2010 — Rosemary

Where is the source of your latest thought?

Sometimes I find I am scattered and my thoughts come from everywhere.  Often I follow one then get sidetracked by the next stimulus and go off on a tangent.  The trouble with that is I can quickly forget where I was going in the first place!

It seems that hitting the ‘pause button of my mind’ is the skill that I need to exercise the most. I stop, breathe, then breathe again, and clarity returns.

I am aware that many thoughts seem to pop into my head from somewhere outside.  Sometimes it’s even my mother, a wonderful woman who has been on The Other Side for over 10 years!  But that voice can help me see what I am looking at through new eyes. Sometimes it is an old tape that is playing in my head and I have to catch myself as an observer to notice that that tape no longer has relevance in my life.  It seems to be so easy to cling to the old ways of thinking because they are automatic, a knee-jerk response to a stimulus.

But once you have decided to live a Conscious Life you must catch yourself in EVERY knee-jerk response. The question to ask is, ‘What is the source of this thought?’  If the answer is that you have considered many options and at this time you have chosen consciously to believe something, then stay with that thought and follow it. If, however, you answer that the thought came from your childhood or your friend at work or from a discussion with a neighbor then reassess its value in your current life.  Why would you spend time and brainpower following a thought that comes from a past prejudice that was instilled in you by someone who hadn’t had the opportunity to examine and discard that prejudice?  Why would you adopt a contracting thought, one that makes you feel smaller rather than expanded, just because someone at work planted that thought or reaction in your mind?

Living a Conscious Life asks you to bring forward your thoughts into the Light and to examine them. There is a quality to thoughts called their ‘Light Content.’  Thoughts that have a high Light Content feel expansive, take you outside of your small ‘s’ self and into the realm of the capital ‘S’ Self.  When you spend time with high Light Content thoughts you will feel yourself touching the world of creativity, of acceptance, of connection.

On the other hand, thoughts of little Light Content feel darker, heavier, more contracting and very personal, without room for others to fit into the thoughts.  Sometimes these thoughts are old thought forms that no longer serve in the 21st Century but are still being held by those who choose not to grow.  These will not serve you in your path of personal and spiritual growth.  Learn to recognize them when they cross your path and choose to move forward, discarding their heavy energy.

Choose to think thoughts that are filled with Light.  Choose to hold onto beliefs that serve your growth into expanded Light.  You are always at the point of choice.  Choose growth.  And enjoy the Light!

THIS WEEK’S MYSTIC MESSAGE from The Divine Feminine: Are your conversations from a Conscious Perspective?

March 31, 2010 — Rosemary
Dear Ones,

Look around you at the people with whom you surround yourself.  Do they have a positive energy with them?  Do they think of possibilities or do they focus on failures, regrets and what might have been?  What do you speak of with them?  Do you allow the people around you to guide the conversation or do you participate or even steer the conversation to those topics that are uplifting?  Do you consider solutions or do you cut off discussions before solutions can be defined?

Think about the art of conversation and how you participate with others.  Think about the others and the kinds of conversations you have with them, individually and collectively.  Do you feel expanded by the interactions?  Can you see another possibility when you discuss an idea with that person?

It is time to take control of the conversations among people because rhetoric is replacing true exploration.  In many parts of the world people do not engage in conversation because all of their energy is going toward their survival.  The freedom to carry on a conversation goes along with having survival assured in one’s life.  Consider the societies where conversation is an important part of one’s day.  Sitting at the coffee shop or patisserie, around the water cooler in an office, over lunch with friends or colleagues, over a meal at home with the family.  What topics are discussed?  Are they ideas, philosophies, gossip, rants, complaints?

Ideas have a high vibration energy to them, as do philosophies.  When one stays with an idea it can stimulate thinking, mental activity and creativity.  A philosophical discussion can spur one into considering the field of all possibilities, thus expanding the horizons of thought.

The other topics above take one into a lower vibration and cause a contraction of one’s energy, often into an unconscious protective stance.  Gossip about others creates an unconscious fear of being gossiped about oneself.  Complaints cause one to focus on a problem and not on a solution.

You can always take a conversation and turn it into something of higher vibration by gently steering the discussion into higher planes, addressing solutions or ideas or taking a different, higher perspective on the topic.  When someone is mired down in a problem or an issue, it is often up to the other person to offer a perspective from the higher view.  One who is stuck in the energy of the problem may not have the resources to examine all the possibilities for solutions.  This is why it is often advantageous to discuss an issue with another person.

However, discussing an issue does not mean being wedded to the story to the point of staying a victim in the narrative.  Rather, it means allowing the other person to offer suggestions and really listening to those suggestions.

Sometimes you will be the person with the problem and sometimes the one with the solutions.  Are you willing to look at the conversations you have from now on from this perspective?  This is not about judging another person for their views or for getting into a problem situation.  This is your always coming from an open heart that truly wishes to help the other to find peace.

The other side of this is for you to embrace a willingness to really listen to others, to see that they might have another perspective to offer you, and to consider what is being offered.

The kinds of conversations we address here require that neither party devolve to name-calling, judgment, anger/hatred/violence.  We are addressing here conversations between two people who honor each other and who allow each person to have ideas that may differ from one’s own.  These conversations can result in true dialogue and personal growth for both participants.

Decide today that these are the only kinds of conversations you will have.  Decide today that you will minimize time with those who refuse to have these kinds of conversations.  Seek to be the peacemaker, for your own good as well as for those around you.  And solutions you haven’t dreamed of might appear!

And so it is.

BOOK LIGHTS: From “The Journey” by Brandon Bays

March 10, 2010 — Rosemary

“I realized that there is a way in which everyone must follow their own, unique healing path, and it is an experience that no one else can have for you.  Spiritual transformation is an inner journey – it’s the soul’s personal path of learning and letting go, and it’s something that must be experienced on your own.”

Spiritual transformation IS an inner journey, and it starts with asking the right questions of our Self in every moment: Who am I to be in this moment?  What is mine to do in this moment?   What is the truth for me in this moment?

MUSE-INGS: Maintain Your Child-Like Curiosity!

February 23, 2010 — Rosemary

Curiosity, especially intellectual curiosity, is sadly lacking in our society today.  I often wonder about the people who listen to pharmaceutical ads on television, for example, without wondering why they should take a drug that has possible side effects that sound worse than the condition for which they would take the drug.  Aren’t they curious about that?

Or what about those who hear something, a piece of news, for instance, from one source and don’t bother to get corroborating evidence before they react emotionally? How can so many people on Earth in the 21st Century ignore the evidence of centuries of study, like those who still believe the Earth is the center of the Solar System despite our space exploration results that show us, up close and personal, that this is not so?  Do you ever wonder about their lack of curiosity?

I suspect that we have fallen into a time where intellectual curiosity is just ‘too darn hard’ for some people.  I mean, if you can slide through life without ever asking a question, then not much will be demanded of you.  For some people it is not even a choice to stop asking questions – they have been told the answers and the one source of information and they continue to acquiesce to that authority.  Others fail to ask questions because they are afraid of being judged by authorities or friends or family members.  Who doesn’t remember a moment in school that was confusing but the social ridicule that might follow looking ‘stupid’ prevented the question from being asked?

Why do you suppose that we have devolved into a complacent society where some don’t want to ask questions and some are too afraid to ask?  Why is it such a dividing factor that only some are willing to say ‘the emperor has no clothes’ while others might not notice or choose not to question?  Are there really any answers to these questions?

I believe that we must always be childlike in our explorations of what is around us.  We must look with wonder at the unfolding of a blossom or the rainbow in the sky or the little ant carrying a huge [for him] load on his back.  When something around us seems to be inconsistent with our model of the world I believe we have an obligation to our own development to ask questions.  Asking a question is not a judgment that something is wrong.  It is not a criticism of a person or system or situation.  It is merely an attempt to get clarification, better understanding.  A conclusion can be reached after the questioning but the questioning itself is an information-gathering stage.

We must all do this about our lives and our personal development, too. We must be examining our lives, not to be harsh judges but to be good learners.  A relationship is not damaged by asking if there is something the other party wishes to change.  A job is not usually in danger if one asks questions to better understand a context or situation.

As a spiritual counselor I see only those people who are willing to ask questions.  They are curious about ways they can improve their lives, or about something they can change, or what the next step is for them.  My clients are willing to explore themselves and their lives to develop a deeper understanding.  I love that these people come to me for help in their personal growth.  I am excited that so many people are willing to ask the questions that stimulate growth.

I’m sure that all who are reading these words are committed to a path of personal growth and are willing to ask the questions that will facilitate that growth.  See if you can expand your questioning to explore other topics about which you are curious.  Is there something that fascinates you but that you think you don’t have the time to explore?  Maybe reading a book or watching a documentary on that subject will stimulate your curiosity even further.  Do you ever ponder philosophical questions?  Maybe you can find some other people who would meet with you periodically to explore these questions.

It’s good for all of us to stay curious.  We all have a responsibility to expand human consciousness and understanding of the world around us.  Let’s start by being childlike in our curiosity.  After all, it was a child in the fairy tale who declared that ‘the emperor has no clothes’!

2010: The Year of Transformation Energy

January 27, 2010 — Rosemary
Dear Ones,

We are pleased to tell you that many changes anticipated for the year 2010 have already been put into motion for you.  The energy of this year will bring Transformation to all who are ready and willing to change for the better.  Each year carries a special message for humanity, a different energy for what is happening to and around the Planet.  For 2010 this energy is about change, transformation at a very deep level.  Those whose nature is to resist change will find that they cannot stay upright in the strength of the currents of change.  Those who wish change for the sake of change will also find difficulties in advancing their agenda.

But those who are open to being led into the changes that are appropriate for them, personally and on a planetary level, will experience profound transformation supported by the Universal energies and the energies of Planet Earth.  This is the time for all humans to become attuned to their Inner Guidance, to listen to the Wisdom that speaks from within them.  This is the time for those who would be conscious to hear the voices of teachers who strive to bring others into increased awareness and consciousness.  The teachers who are still singing the old songs, who are still teaching from the energies of decades past, who have no way to tap into current sources of guidance for the present times, will be left behind by the students who are hungering for up-to-date information, guidance about what they are to do in the present moment, and support on their journey into their own wisdom and empowerment.

The days of giving one’s power away to an external institution are passing.  Those who continue to try to steal another’s power will find they have empty hands.  Of course, there are still those who wish to give away their power out of fear of retribution, whether by humans in this life or some kind of ‘god’ in an afterlife.  But those who choose to give away their power were never going to embrace the energy of Transformation that is present in 2010 anyway.  And the power-hungry people and institutions will still find some who will support them because those supporters are too fearful of change to allow themselves to transform.

But if you are one who is willing to accept the influx of Transformation Energy that characterizes the year 2010 then you must do a few things to acclimate yourself to that energy.  First, you must cast off the shackles that have been holding you back from making the changes that you feel your Inner Being is trying to make.  Usually those shackles are in the form of latent fears and limiting beliefs that work at the unconscious level to keep you held back from your own personal growth.  Clearing these shackles frees you to look around you for the ways to manifest personal change in your life.  When you open yourself to your own Inner Power, Inner Guidance, even if you must work with someone else to gain the most benefit from the effort, then you bring to Planet Earth a manifestation of the Life Purpose you came into being to anchor on the Planet. Transformation Energy does not necessarily mean that everything within and around you must change.  But it does mean that the changes will be deep and lasting and will profoundly affect the course of your life.  For some of you the changes will be as dramatic as that of a blind person who is given the gift of sight.  For others, the changes will be deeply personal – you will enter the rest of your life with a deeper understanding of yourself and others that will transform your choices and actions on a personal level.  And for some, the Transformation Energy will cause an explosion of public activity that will affect more people in the world than you can imagine.

Allow yourself to flow with the essence of this Transformation Energy as it unfolds in your life this year.  The changes for you might not come until December 2010.  For others, though, this energy is already happening in this year.  Hold onto your hats as the pace quickens!

And so it is.

Live and Love with One Heart

January 19, 2010 — Rosemary
Dear Ones,

Living and loving with one heart gives you a unity of purpose in your life.  Do you know what we are meaning here?  Think about your heart and how many different ways that you have for loving – your life partner, your parents, your children, your friends, your work, your pets, your home, your car, your favorite sweater.  You use the term ‘love’ to describe a feeling about all of these people and objects.

We are talking about ‘love’ in the sense of the verb that is sourced in your heart of heart, the place within your body where the energy of your higher energy centers and your lower energy centers come together.  Your Heart Center is the place where the energy from Mother Earth comes up through your body and meets the higher vibration energy that comes through the top of your head from Source energy, the Universal Source of Love & Light.  These energies meet in your Heart Center and you can make a decision to send this energy out to others in a specific way that is not about how you feel about them.

Think of the people that you thought you loved in your life but for whom your feelings dimmed when they failed to live up to your expectations of them.  How many objects have you said you ‘loved’ yet discarded when they were no longer useful?  This is not the kind of love that we are addressing here.

We want you to think of Love as an energy that connects you to another because you choose to make that connection.  Think of your partner or child or grandchild or dear friend and think of holding them in a Love energy that does not have expectations, has no rules for them to follow, does not require reciprocation for you to hold them in that Love energy.  This Love comes from Consciousness, not from feelings.  This Love has no requirements on the other party.  And this Love has a great benefit to you because it allows you to maintain your own energy at a higher level than that of feelings.

We understand that all humans experience feelings and we are not telling you that there is anything wrong with having feelings.  But as a person who is committing to live a Conscious Life on Planet Earth then you are one who must learn about the higher vibrations of energies that take you above your feelings while allowing you to honor how you feel.  For some of you this might seem confusing but there are ways that you can achieve this.

First you must learn to honor the feelings that do arise within you. But by honoring those feelings we do not mean that you must determine your choices in life only on how you feel.  When you experience strong feelings you are being led to examine a situation or a relationship so that you can learn something in that moment.  The emotion is a clue that there is something for you to examine and from which you can learn.  The emotion is not the point of growth for you – it is the flag that tells you that you are in a situation that holds the potential for you to experience growth.  Learning to allow your emotions to be teachers for you is a big step in living a Conscious Life.


For example, when you are in a close relationship with another person, you are, by definition, going to experience reactions and emotions in that relationship.  Whether that person is a relative or loved one or colleague or boss, because you are both human, you will have feelings.  But the awake and aware individual knows that the relationship does not hinge only on the feelings of a moment.  The relationship is being forged in a whole collection of moments and requires that each participant be allowed the space and energy for personal growth within that relationship.  When one person refuses to grow the whole relationship suffers from that decision.  But when one person decides to operate in the relationship from their Heart Center, always holding the other person in the energy of Universal Love, then both parties benefit.

Do you see that the decision to hold another person, or a relationship, in the energy of Universal Love allows you to expand in your growth into Consciousness and allows the other person the opportunity to learn lessons and to also grow in Consciousness?  The difficult part of this is that you have no control over what the other person chooses to do in this situation.  They might choose to cut themselves off from the flow of Universal Love.  They might choose to ignore the opportunity for personal growth that has been afforded them.  They might even choose to turn around and attack you in the situation because you are not engaging with them at a lower vibration of energy.  But this does not mean that you can or should change your connection to the Source of Universal Love nor does it mean that you are right or they are wrong.  It simply means that you are operating in that moment from different vibrations of energy.  And this has nothing to do with how either of you is feeling in that moment.

Making a choice to find the space within you that holds the energy of Universal Love and then to participate in all relationships from that place will change the world around you.  You will find that the person who benefits the most from this is not the person on the other side of a relationship but is, indeed, yourself.  And holding yourself in the energy of Universal Love is Self Love, the place from which any love for others must flow.

And so it is.
