Just as in the physical body, a strong core is essential for optimal health, resilience and flexibility, one's spiritual body requires a solid core on which to build the foundation of one's character. The center of this spiritual core, from which all things spring, is the element of Self Respect. This affects everything we do, every choice we make, it determines how we see, as well as, the way in which we approach the experience of our lives.
Once this foundation is strong enough, we begin the cultivation of Self Love. To be clear, Self Love is not conceit. Conceit is actually the absence of self love. It is the ego trying to manufacture love because it has forgotten, love is what we are.
Self Love is the recognition of our Divine Spark, a knowledge of what we are and an acceptance of where we are right how, without judgement or criticism. It is Unconditional Love for the Self, an embrace of our Power and a willingness toward Self Control, which is strengthened by a deep abiding Self Reverence.
These essential elements of character continue to deepen in relation to our consideration of them in the choices we make. Positive choices with an optimistic attitude, heightens our Self Esteem and increases our ability to love freely without attachment. We must strive to give others, that which we want most. When we can love without attachment or the need to control, we are now available for True Love.
