Heart has been powerless for so long. It is hard to imagine that Heart is reclaiming power now. We have been deeply imprinted with hopelessness for the return of Heart, that there would ever be love for us, that love would ever have any real creative power in Creation. But it is happening. Heart is rebirthing. Heart is growing strong. Heart is coming through the gap. Heart is claiming Its’ right place in Creation.

Unlovingness is being reclaimed. As we learn to love ourselves unlovingness of Self has less and less influence. We experience fewer reversals of our own denied self-hatred that twists itself into unrecognizable forms expressing through others towards us. We feel like victims and we hold this place in reference to being victims to our own lack of self-love. That is all we are truly victims to.

In learning to love ourselves we are birthing Heart, all of us. We are all collectively responsible for the lack of love on the planet. The lack of love we witness daily is a direct reflection of the lack of self-love we hold for ourselves individually. Six billion people not loving themselves fully generates a lot of unlove around the world. It generates war. It generates crime. It generates genocide.

There are no victims. We are all collectively responsible for the crimes we experience throughout the entire world. We all have a hand in global suffering. There is no “us” against “them”. It is us against us, Self against Self.

It is a disease, perhaps the plague of the 21st century, lack of self-love. No disease has more power yet no disease is more curable. We are the remedy for global conflict, for crimes against humanity, for crimes against the environment.

When we see the hunger for revenge and retaliation in the killer’s eyes we are face-to-face with our own self-unlove. How can we blame the killer if the killer is us? What motivates such hatred? The pain of self-rejection. This is the part of us we have asked to hold our self-hatred and it is painful. It is painful to feel unloved, unworthy, unacceptable, unwanted. It is painful to feel unloved. Feel into that. It is painful to feel unloved. And how do you think this pain will act out?

Our grandest service to ourselves, our planet, our neighbours, our family, our friends and colleagues is to own our pain of self-unlove. If we do not own it, it escapes us and runs unchecked throughout our societies.

If you are victimized by another you have come face-to-face with an aspect of your own self-unlove. Are you going to punish it? Blame it? Continue to push it further and further away from you letting it curl up in agonizing pain from the rejection from love? Will you torture it? Will you berate it? Will you vote against it? Will you sentence it to death? It is you. It is your own death sentence you are signing. You are condemning yourself to death.

How could we possibly have unloved ourselves to such a degree? Why do we feel such pain when it comes to loving ourselves? Why is it so hard to love ourselves? It is painful to feel into our hearts. There is a great deal of pain there and we do not want to feel it but as long as we do not feel it we cannot heal it and we push it away. We deny it life. And it finds its’ own life and comes back around looking for us, showing us the form our denial of it has taken. It is not very pretty.

Self-love is a painful process. Healing all of the wounds takes time and compassion and bravery for feeling the pain. But Heart grows in strength each time we reclaim our wounds. It is accumulative. And it can never be diminished. We may feel more self-unlove as we journey through our hearts but it is not because we have not been loving ourselves, or that reclaimed self-love is lost, but rather we are simply finding more essence of self-unlove we have yet to love. There is no going backwards. Love is forever.

This is the answer to all our earthly problems, every single one of them. This is the solution. And it is the hardest solution to put into action. But it is the solution that does not fail. There is no flaw in this solution and so this solution is permanent. Everything responds to love and everything responds to unlove. That is the key. That is the secret. Everything is an issue of degrees, degrees of love and unlove.

Love is the answer. Have we not heard this message before?
