Education:Self-Improvement
Today's quote is “I have an everyday religion that works for me. Love yourself first, and everything else falls into line.” Most people understand that unless you love yourself, you cannot really love anyone else. If we don’t have a loving relationship with our very own self, we will project any of our own weaknesses unto the other person and end up sabotaging and limiting our relationship with another.
It seems basic, that we should learn to love our own selves and on the surface many people believe or think they love themselves but their behavior will show otherwise. And what most people call love is a superficial identification with a conceptual “me” which just makes us more egoistic and separate from others. We can be sure that Donald Trump is in love with Donald Trump.
So what keeps us from loving ourselves? The short answer is ignorance. We simply don’t have a deep and proper understanding of who or what we are. We only know who we think we are. Thought is memory, and our memories are conditioned through our experiences with life. Our identity becomes an object to us. We then derive our sense of identity from our thinking conscious mind. But who are really are is the silent subject of all experiencing, that from which thought arises, the space like awareness from which all the content of the mind arises. We get caught up and lost in the minds content losing sight of the subject.
