You may have heard a lot of people preaching about what they call "Self Love," with phrases like “Put your own mask on first before assisting others!” (a common example used, referring to what they tell you to do on airplanes). When I first heard of this “Self Love” thing, I jumped on the bandwagon and did all of these practices that were supposed to teach me how to "love" my"self"…and like many, didn’t get very far, and became more confused after having received so many contradictory messages about what self love was supposed to look like.
Am I supposed to eat all the chocolate because I deserve earthly pleasures, to later become obese, and then love my obese body without judgment because “goddesses come in all sizes?” Or, am I supposed to take good care of my body by limiting my chocolate consumption so that I don't become obese, because I love my body enough to keep it healthy? (it turns out it doesn't really matter)
I knew I wasn't the only confused one. So, like a good Scorpio Moon in the 12th House, I dove deep into my own Self Love journey, and learned a 5th dimensional type of Self Love. I also learned that many people: 1) don’t know what real, potent, (5D) UNCONDITIONAL Self Love is because they haven’t experienced it yet, 2) stop at more beginner levels of Self Love (such as self-care and body positivity), 3) think Self Love is dependent on how many bubble baths and spa treatments they give themselves (consumer culture is partly to blame for this), and 4) are still perceiving others as "separate" from them, and therefore limiting their own capacity to love themselves/others.
I could write a book on Self Love, but I chose to start with this blog.
Self Care
Don’t get me wrong, on this journey I did increase my level of self-care, by saying “no” more, by resting more, and by taking better care of my physical body. Self-care is indeed important, (especially for Projectors---for those of you who are familiar with Human Design). Body positivity is also beneficial for healing the Solar Plexus/increasing self-esteem; but according to my higher dimensional guides, self-care and body positivity are still preschool versions of Self Love---they are really the first basic baby steps---and are part of what I call “Self Love 1.0”. Before I can share more about Self Love 2.0, let’s get more clear on what Self Love 1.0 is and the purpose it serves.
Self Love 1.0
Self Love 1.0 is what the majority of humans in our culture, (generally-speaking especially women), have been learning recently. Self Love 1.0 is when the “people-pleaser” finally realizes “I can’t just keep giving to others endlessly at the sacrifice of my own well-being.” This person realizes that people pleasing others while ignoring her own needs is not loving or respecting of her SELF. She learns the importance of self-care, learns how to set boundaries, learns how to say “no,” and prioritize her personal needs. She also learns the power of rest, recuperation, and “the pause”. Energetically speaking, this is a societal movement towards increasing the yin/feminine energy in our lives---because the extremely yang/masculine-energy dominant society we live in is burning many of us out! There also is a shift occurring in the way humans manifest---a more "yin" and passive manifesting style that is being utilized more.
While Self Love 1.0 is important for us to learn, as it has increased the health and well being of our physical avatars and helped us to embody more light, it still is very limiting for those who want to take it further.
My guides have been continuously whispering in my ear: “notice how the humans are still in the illusion of separateness with the “self love” movement? Notice how they keep saying that they have to “love themselves” before they can love others? Notice how by doing so, they have just built their own barriers to love.
Self Love 1.0 is ultimately, from higher dimensional perspective, based in the illusion of separateness, the illusion that time is limited, and the illusion that energy is limited. Self Love 2.0 is based off of higher perception---5D consciousness. This is the “split” in humanity that you may know is occurring at this time when Gaia (Earth) ascends to the 4th Density (5th Dimension). Some humans are choosing to embody greater amounts of Unity Consciousness---understanding that we all are One, therefore to love oneself, is to love everyone/everything. (You may have heard them referred to as “service-to-others” beings from the Ra material. The opposite is “service-to-self” beings.) When we are stuck in the belief that others are separate from us, it is easy for us to judge, and to make excuses not to love others, which ironically, because others ARE us, bounces right back to us and gives us difficulties loving ourSELVES. When we invent prerequisites for ourselves, such as “I have to love myself before I can love others,” we have just subscribed to the old paradigm of “I have to do X before I can do Y.”
While it is true that if you feel exhausted and like you haven't been taking care of your physical, emotional and spiritual Being, then you need to, taking care of yourself isn't the whole picture of Loving youSELF. My guides keep telling me that humans don't realize their own power----that they can love themselves and others simultaneously and endlessly, even if their current physical vessel feels tired/depleted and they need to do some self-care. They also say that feeling tired/exhausted is part of ascension symptoms---as the humans anchor in more light, they might feel more tired. And that is OK! This means we get to practice more self-care, but we should be careful that it doesn't turn into a self-created limitation of our ability to love in general. You can love yourself by excusing yourself to do some self-care, while still loving others from a distance through your energy and intention. And because we all are ultimately ONE, you loving yourSELF is loving others.
Moving into Self Love 2.0
Because Self Love 2.0 is more unconditional, and more based in 5D consciousness, in order to practice Self Love 2.0 we need to embody as much of 5D consciousness as we can---which is a journey in itself that I will scratch the surface of here.
Who is this “SELF” that I am supposed to “love” anyways?
There are two ways, in my experience, to learn who the SELF is. The first is to go deep into self-study to discover your unique SELF---your individual blueprint and expression as a fractal of Source. Perhaps look up your astrology, numerology, etc. The second is to discover the SELF, which, paridoxically, is united with the ALL.
When you embark on the journey of discovering your truest “SELF”, you may realize that your entire construct of who/what you thought you were, is complete BS that was just handed to you by society. That which you were trying to "love," wasn’t necessarily the truest essence of YOU.
This breaking-down-of-the-false-self often freaks out the ego, and is (in most cases) part of spiritual awakening. Spiritual awakenings, in my experience, are one of the greatest gifts someone can experience in this human life.
During a spiritual awakening, both the true uniqueness of your SELF can be discovered, including your unique gifts, past lives, blueprint, soul mission, etc, but also often times during spiritual awakenings, humans merge with the ALL long enough to realize that they ARE everything, and therefore to love the SELF is to love the ALL, and to love the ALL is to love the SELF. WE are paridoxically all ONE, and yet are all all unique expressions of the infinite ALL, the Multiverse.
Spiritual awakenings often catalyze a more pure, True "SELF to be (re)born and loved. They can catalize the heart chakra to blast open so much that one doesn’t want to go back to the old prerequisite of “I can’t love you until I love myself”, because it knows that is not the ultimate truth, technically. After experiencing Unity Consciousness, even if it is just for a brief amount of “time”, loving everything all at once becomes a no-brainer, and one realizes that it is possible. One knows that his personal love-cup is truly so full, that he is not in scarcity mindset about it anymore. One knows that he actually have ENDLESS "amounts" of love in his cup, and that if he ever perceives it to be empty, that perception isn’t real. (Notice how I said endless amounts of love, not endless amounts of human physical and mental energy. Some, as they ascend, are able to sustain greater levels of physical and mental energy, but everyone's journey is different. That is for another blog.)
“Love flows. Love doesn’t know boundaries. The mind creates boundaries. The mind creates the boundary of separate me and you. The heart just keeps embracing and opening it.” –Ram Dass
And THEN, you can take it further: by realizing that EVERY "SEPARATE" FRACTAL OF GOD (A.K.A. OTHER PERSON) IN YOUR REALITY, REFLECTS BACK TO YOU ASPECTS OF YOU, (EVEN DARK ASPECTS), SO THAT THESE PARTS OF YOU CAN BE BROUGHT TO YOUR CONSCIOUS AWARENESS; therefore, BY LOVING THE DARK ASPECTS IN OTHERS THAT SHOW UP IN YOUR REALITY, YOU ARE LOVING YOUR OWN REPRESSED SELF! If humans were able to see that even people they really dislike and claim that they “don’t’ resonate with”, are a reflection of a part of them, and ironically, are what some of their vibrations resonate with (law of mirroring/attraction), then they wouldn’t project hate on people who trigger them, and instead would project LOVE onto them; they might even purposely seek out their perceived “enemies”, and send them as much love as possible! “Love your enemies as yourself.”---sound familiar?
“Your task is not to seek for love, but merely to seek and find all the barriers within yourself that you have built against it.” -Rumi
For example, if people who do not want Donald Trump as a president, were to realize this, they probably wouldn’t be choosing to post mean things about him to make fun of him, because they would know that this won’t actually help the situation at all, and actually would MANIFEST more BS. They would be more likely to invest their manifesting abilities into something that actually helps, perhaps by praying for Donald Trump and the world…or by encouraging people to vote, (in a loving way of course.)
Embrace the Opportunities to Love Your Repressed Self!
Many people who preach and practice “self love” ironically are only loving maaaybe ~10% of themselves, because they aren’t consciously aware of the other ~90% of Self, that is hidden deep within the subconscious, and which shocks the living daylights out of people when it is reflected back to them (as discussed above). This is why shadow work is so important. Your enemies, believe it or not, are reflecting back to you your subconscious/repressed aspects of who you are. These repressed aspects could be from this lifetime, say in childhood, or could be from past lives, and your ancestry.
This is why when people attempt to practice “self love” on the elementary level, they are ultimately left feeling like something is still missing---because they are only loving the aspects of self that they know exist, while continuing to reject the aspects of self that they don’t identify as “themSELVES”.
Ask yourself: “What is (insert a perceived enemy) reflecting back to me about my (most likely repressed) SELF? Where did this come from?” (this is a great question to ask your guides in meditation, or ask your subconscious under hypnosis, etc so that you get the answer from your subconscious.) But if you can’t access your subconsciously easily in the moment, and really have no idea why, (despite you meditating every day, drinking green juice, AND saying positive mantras) a shadow is presented to you, just love it anyways! You don’t have to know and understand the source of the seemingly lower-vibration that you are presented with, but you do now have the power to love it. Even if you just breathe into your triggers…and set the intention to project love into the ego-triggering human in front of you ASAP...This is a huge step in the most beneficial direction.
When we keep running from OUR shadows, because we think they are SOMEONE ELSE’S, we keep experiencing more shadows in our realities until we finally WAKE UP.
Don't let Consumer Culture Trick You! Real Self Love is Unconditional
When you unconditionally love yourself, you love ALL parts of yourself, in ALL times, ALL realities, and ALL circumstances, and once again, there is no prerequisite needed for you to be “deserving” of your own love, or love in general; you know that you are inherently lovable in all moments.
This is why it is important to not let consumer culture trick you into thinking that buying yourself more things is all it takes to practice “self love.”If you have a lot of money, and buy yourself lots of nice things, telling yourself that you are “loving yourself” by doing so, then what will happen when a financial crash happens? Would you still have a way to “love yourself” in that situation? And if you are born into extreme poverty and a war torn environment, then are you just not able to practice Self Love because you can’t buy yourself a bath bomb?” Obviously not! I can only imagine how drastically different Self Love can manifest for people in such extremely traumatic situations. My guess is, if people can find ways to love themselves as well as others in the most horrible of circumstances, they are progressing very efficiently in their current incarnation in human-school.
I will let you in on a secret that some of you (fortunately) are already aware of: the lower-vibrational beings at the top of the patriarchal pyramid (especially in highly-materialistic cultures), want consumers to believe that they are worthless without lots of material items/prestige/popularity/"good looks," etc. They want people to keep slaving away, like the hamster running on the wheel, believing that they have to work so hard to make more money, so that they can buy more stuff. This keeps humans unconscious and controllable. They want people to think, “if only I had a nicer car, then I would be worthy of getting love from myself, and/or others.”
If you do something radical, like, say, truly love yourself unconditionally, without needing to chase after more and more “labels,” “social statuses,” or “stuff” to prove your worth to yourself and/or others, then these beings have a much harder time controlling you.
Real Self Love is Multidimensional, because WE are Multidimensional
The irony is, when you love ALL ASPECTS OF yourself, you simultaneously love others too, because your high vibrations are sent out into the quantum field through the magnetic field of your heart chakra. AND because you are multidimensional, you raise the vibrations of and shift other parallel realities as well. This is the same as if you were to love ALL ASPECTS of others---you would naturally be loving all aspects of yourSELF simultaneously, because all is ultimately ONE, and remember we are just a bunch of reflections of each other in this realm.
Therefore, humans can set the intention to simultaneously spread unconditional love deep into our inner realities (our every atoms within ourselves), and the multiverse outside of our physical bodies, because we have the power to do so.<----My guides gave me this specific instruction very loud and clear. Even if it is just for a brief moment, perhaps in meditation, that is all it takes to send a huge wave of potent, unconditional love throughout the universe.
Final Thoughts
You are extremely powerful---because you have the superpower of LOVE. The force of Love itself is far more powerful than anything else in this reality.
For more info on accessing this amazing superpower we have, I recommend a few things: heart-centered practices, working with heart-openers---which can include plant medicine spirits such as ceremonial cacao, having a gratitude practice, creating Heart Coherence (See the Heart Math Institute, and Dr. Joe Despenza), doing shadow work to removes heart chakra blocks, using The Emotion Code, going to Loving Groups (loving-groups.org), and activity choosing to have compassion for ALL.
I sincerely hope that this blog helped spark something inside of you, and/or validate what you already knew consciously and/or subconsciously. I know that this blog is deep. If you would like me write another blog going deeper into any of these things, please comment below! <3 Also, please share topic suggestions with me for future blogs. <3
Namaste,
Pooja
