Love of self

Awareness of our dignity as a son or daughter of god

July 13th 2015
Those who think they must not love themselves are mistaken. It is normal to love oneself – nature has given its children this instinct. But they must learn to love themselves, starting by being aware of their dignity as a son or daughter of God. Do people really love themselves when they eat and drink any old thing any old how, when they pollute their lungs with tobacco or poison themselves with destructive thoughts and feelings? No. Loving yourself means being careful not to allow in any impure, harmful element, either physically or psychically. For by being pure you prepare conditions for receiving the visit of beings of light. And if you are careful not to harm others but, on the contrary, to help, comfort and console them, you are again preparing conditions for the Lord to come and dwell in you and bring you his blessings. That is how you must love yourself.
