★How people who love and cherish themselves live
Because they misunderstand that point and apply it wrongly, many people find their self-protective thoughts growing stronger, and can’t escape from feeling sorry for themselves or wanting to blame others.
When you truly love and cherish yourself, you don’t convince yourself that “I’m sacrificing myself for others,” nor do you blame everything on other people or your circumstances and abandon the efforts you ought to make.
Because people who truly love and cherish themselves trust their own life from the bottom of their hearts. So even if, out of consideration for others, they hold back what they want to do in the moment, no complaints or dissatisfaction rise up in their hearts because of it.
Why is that? Because in people who truly love themselves and are loved by themselves without any falsehood, the vibrational sphere of their heart expands in proportion to the greatness of that love, and they have graduated from ways of thinking that separate self and others.
What that means is this: people who really, truly love themselves and are loved by themselves have hearts that are more than fully satisfied. So the breadth of the vibrational sphere of their heart expands until it embraces their family, their friends and acquaintances, everyone they are connected with, their fellow citizens, and even all of humanity. They understand that other people’s words and deeds are events happening in the universe within their own heart, so there is no longer any need, as there used to be, to deliberately divide themselves from others and see them as opposed. And that harmonious inner state is reflected and seen in the outer world too.
★How to melt and spread into the great ocean deep in your heart
You understand, don’t you, that the life that appears as other people and your own life, traced back to their origin, are “one life” within the great ocean of life called the heart of the universe (the divine, the core, the true).
In the human heart, the more consciousness expands and approaches the source of life, the more thoughts slanted toward self-interest—such as ego and karmic thoughts—fade.
When your heart is stuck to the ego, then when you try to head there, you meet tremendous resistance (attack and defense) from habitual thoughts of self-preservation.
Only by overcoming that can you row out into the great ocean of life. But in the world until now, many people were pushed back there by the ego’s resistance and swept away by karmic thoughts.
Understanding all of this, what we are telling you is not a way to fight and defeat the ego and karma, but a way to embrace the ego and karma and melt and spread together with them into the great ocean of life deep in your heart. (To be continued next time)
