Getting True Love

While meditating during a consultation this morning Oshun blessed me with this revelation. True Love...the very reason for existence is a deep, passionate, intense and long term Love Of Self...True Love~Love of Self is the only emotion that can flow outward allowing you to Truly Love others
 
If you are not experiencing and participating in a Deep, Passionate, Intense love affair with yourself then what you feel for others is not love
it is Entitlement
Ownership
Dependency
Usually we are seeking acceptance from others so that we can feel worthy and this need for acceptance has been defined as love or being In Love
But the need to prove your worth through the actions or emotions of another is not love
 
When you are Truly In Love you know your worth and you are secure in the knowledge that your worth is not based on the actions, the thoughts or the emotions of anyone other than yourself...as our Ancestors said so many thousands of years ago..."your destiny is THE MOST IMPORTANT thing to you"...and True Love is directly related to fulfillment of your destiny
 
Our Ancestors taught "Peace comes from knowing you are doing the right thing"...when you are doing what you incarnated to do you experience True Love and everything else falls into place...you have a peace that no incident, no obstacle, no outside force can disturb...you are protected by your LOVE~Self Love
From this vantage point you can truly love your children as opposed to trying to control them
You can truly love your mate as opposed to trying to find worth in his or her reactions to your presence
You can truly love your friends as opposed to competing with them or imitating them
You can truly love life, the world , EarthMotherOnile and the Wombniverse
 
Until you fall deeply, hopelessly and passionately in love with yourself...everything else is void
without love of self you have missed the very essence of the journey
the first steps on the path to REAL LOVE are what I use to
 advise women healing from abusive relationships 
... take all of the love you are used to giving to others and give it to Your Sweet, beautiful and oh so deserving Self
All the sweet talk, all the good meals, all the nurturing, the forgiveness, the acceptance of flaws and shortcomings...GIVE ALL OF THAT TO YOU
and watch what results it yields
watch what fruit it bears
 
Love is not a matter of attracting and capturing the right person no more than life is a matter of consuming as much as possible
Love is an intimately personal matter over which you have total control
It does not require you to wait for the right person to come along
only that you acknowledge your own right to exist in this space in time
only that you accept that you belong here right now
The power to love and be loved is within you and therefore within your reach
...you have only to be courageous enough to reach out and grab it
Love is the essence of life
Get you some
