That's really it and sadly, far too many people are bereft of self-love in the most healthy of ways.

Self-love is not the same as being self-centered or full of one's self. No, true love and appreciation for yourself, knowing that you are as important, beautiful, loved and perfect in your being as the creator has intended.

Looking around at others, I constantly hear a mantra in my head which says, "Wherever you go, the creator is..." meaning to me that, Any one person that I interact with on a daily basis, could very well be, the creator. Testing me, seeing how I react to the world.

Think of it the way the agents in the Matrix could jump into anyone they wanted to, similar to that, except... you just don't know for sure who...

Nice thread OP... I'm with ya on it!
