SELF LOVE IS THE ELIXER OF AN
IMMORTAL HEART.

Self love is an ocean and each of our hearts is a vessel. Fill it with Self Love and any excess will spill over into the lives of the people we hold dear. But we, ourselves, must come first. "All I plead with you is this: make love of your true Self perfect." Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj.

People who love themselves come across as loving, kind and generous. They express their self-confidence through humility, forgiveness
and inclusiveness. No boundary or barrier surrounds the heart of a person that loves
their true Self and others unconditionally.

It’s all about falling in love with our true nature
and sharing that love with those who appreciate our expressions and manifestations of love, rather than constantly seeking and searching for love to compensate for a deficit in Self Love.

After all, dignity will only happen when we realize that having someone in our lives does not validate our worth. To find a happy ending with someone else, we first we have to find it alone.

Indeed, the most powerful relationship you will ever have is the relationship with yourself.
We can never get so desperate for love that we totally forget where we can always find it; WITHIN.

If we don't love ourselves, then we won't be happy with ourselves. If we can't love ourselves, we can't love anyone else. We can't give the love we do not have. We can't make anyone love us without loving ourselves first.

So, forget about self-image and self-judgment.
It's about self-love, and no one teaches you that
at school. No one teaches us that if we accept and love ourselves, nothing and no one can touch our true nature.

Simply put: Self love is the elixir of an immortal heart.

We are not purely reflections of our genes…

In fact, we bring our genetic template to life through the combination of lifestyle choices and patterns that reflect our perception of self.

Epigenetics is where consciousness meets the expression of DNA (aka the blueprint of life). We are born with a baseline of information…a script known as the genetic code that configures potentials for behaviors, illnesses, and other health indicators, but whether they are expressed or transmuted into conductors of well-being and longevity depends on us.

The entire course of lives, including our childhood, can be reformulated in our minds as a platform for development. New habits and healthy choices are created in the now, suggesting that disorders are a multilayered manifestation of the ego’s resistance to change rather than the higher’s self healing guidance.

Catalyzing desired changes is a matter of aligning our thoughts, actions, behaviors, attitudes, and perceptions as closely as we can with our intended template.

Everything begins with the nonphysical before evolving into the physical form, as consciousness is the ground of all being.

All that is currently being expressed reflects a reason to be, so consider the “why” behind all that you are challenged by to approach the “how” to its resolution.

Our body is a suit of energy manifested into physical form, and it is our role as its carrier to permeate our genome with constructive instructions to support a free and healthy life.

Trying to understand life is like trying to understand the taste of a strawberry.

You can only experience it, live it, be fully aware while tasting it...
and after having the experience you can decide whether it was functional or not, whether you liked it or not, what it taught you...
Understanding is made of perception, feelings, intuition and reasoning. And also of courage,
of being able to bow to the Great Power that creates life and directs the dance.

Understanding is possible through the sum of experiences, leaning towards knowledge, study, observation, reflection... but also intuitive feeling that has no meaning grasped by the mind, but I feel deeply
with subtle and delicate perceptions. Trying to understand life is like trying to define falling in love... you can describe it with poetic words, artistic gestures, colors and shapes... but what you feel inside cannot be precisely described, it can only be felt...
What you feel inside helps you understand what you want to feed and what is best to let go...
Live, breathe, observe.
Let your Heart sing, it is a golden compass showing you the way, even when you are afraid and doubtful, even when everything seems dark and you think you have lost your way.
Only with your Heart can you start choosing the sweetness and fullness of life in all its forms again.
Smell a flower, caress a leaf, touch a stone, breathe with Heaven... and let go.
Everything passes, everything returns cyclically in a new space of awareness and maturity

Keep quiet. Do your work in the world, but inwardly keep quiet. Then all will come to you. Do not rely on your work for realization. It may profit others, but not you. Your hope lies in keeping silent in your mind and quiet in your heart. Realized people are very quiet.

“Life really begins at 40, up until then, you are just doing research.”- C.Jung

I'm not saying to be totally detached so that you have no feelings, no love, I’m not saying this at all. So being detached is totally different from what you think it is. To be detached means you no longer feel an affinity to hold on to things. You no longer have the necessity to own things. To hold on to them. You're free from this. The more spiritual you become, the freer you become. For you no longer have to obtain things, have things to make you happy. You leave things alone. You are no longer obsessed with people, places and things. But you have a great compassion and love for everybody and everything. But you're not attached!

In other words, when you're with another person, you love that person. But you're not obsessed with them. You don't own them. You give them freedom to express themselves, yet you love. And if the person ever leaves, the love is still there. It didn't go anywhere, for you are love itself If you understand what this love means, it can't come or go depending on person, place or thing. For love is always there because that's what you are. The attachment is gone.

Your life will not depend on external things or internal things. Think of what it means to live this way, how wonderful you will feel all the time. You'll never depend on people again for anything, yet you love people. It doesn't mean that you become sarcastic, obnoxious. It means that you become a loving being, an understanding being, a compassionate being. You leave things alone and you leave people alone. You turn within yourself. And all the answers are within yourself. All the answers that you've been looking for, everything that you've been looking for is within yourself! You will learn to depend on the Self for everything. Yet, you cooperate with people. You cooperate with the world, but you understand in your heart that the world is a passing show, a passing fantasy. Nothing is ever the same.

Where did this consciousness and "I Amness" come from?

What is the basic material necessary for their emergence?

The answer is: the five elements, the three gunas and the prakriti-purusha.

They together create the space "I Am".

What do you have apart from memory?

Memory has eight aspects, because it is the product of the five elements and the three gunas.

Therefore, only when this basic material is available can there be memory, i.e. remembering anything and as a result - which is the most important thing - remembering that you are.

So the feeling that you are is at the moment only memory.

To sustain the memory that "I Am", all these raw materials are necessary.

But you are not this "I Am".
You, as the Absolute, precede the "I Am".
This "I Amness" is the product of these raw materials, but you, as the Absolute, are not this product.
At most you can say: "I Am", but what is this "I Am"?
"I" is just a word.
At first the words appear, and then only memory remains.
You are not memory.

Is there anyone who has been able to retain his memory as "I Am"?

At the moment when all raw materials are being destroyed, where is the memory of "I Am"?

In your case, the most important step is to establish yourself in the conviction that your identity is the dynamic principle of consciousness manifesting.

Have only this one point of support.

This is your first step.

There is nothing else but the knowledge that you are; be only that.
Nothing more, nothing less.

You cannot see the rays of light as such; you can only see their reflection when they strike an object.

Similarly, "I Amness" - because of these five elements and three gunas - is such an obstacle.

That is why you experience the feeling "I Am"; but without the feeling "I Am" you still are.

Light emanates from the sun.

Because there are five elements and nothing is lost, the reflection of light appears as the sun.
Brightness is perceived as the sun because there is something there, without a doubt; If there were nothing there, the rays of light would pass everywhere and as a source of light would become invisible.

Mahakasa is infinite space.

This infinite space is dark.

As dark as when you close your eyes.

In this physical space the entire universe rises, sets and is destroyed.

What is the final result of all these experiences that participate in the play of consciousness?

They simply disappear and become pure space.

The entire world is in a state of constant transformation.

No form lasts forever.

In the end all forms evaporate into space and become formless.

I am speaking directly from my own experience, I am not referring to any books.

Millions of people, animals and other beings have come and gone.

Has the total sum of the universe increased or decreased?

It has remained unchanged.
The number of these beings does not decrease, they are always there.

If there are so many millions of forms in the world, can "my" image remain there forever?
At the moment you only have the feeling of "I Amness" and as a result of that feeling the whole world manifests.

When millions of people pass away, is there any trace of them left?

Let us forget about spirituality for a moment.

Among all my experiences there was also joy, happiness and failures.

How much of this failure or this happiness still remains?

For one who has transcended consciousness or who has seen that everything is ending, is there any question of gain or loss?

I am perfectly aware that this state of knowing will not remain.

I am in the state of not-knowing.

And if so, is it permissible to speak of taking any action?

Can one who has such a spiritual orientation be influenced by family or worldly life?
