After spending many years believing I loved myself no matter what, I found out – much to my bewilderment, that this was not true. I did love certain parts of me, but not all of me. I loved the parts of me that were kind, honest, funny, helpful, generous and loving, but I deeply despised the parts of me that were angry, hateful, harmful, spiteful, and especially the parts of me where I had hurt others, and the parts of me that were based on lack and fear. I hated the part of me that judged and criticized others, and the parts of me that would marginalize people where I thought they were different from me. And here I was thinking I was so loving and great.
So what happened? How could I have got this so wrong? After many years, tears, anger, fearful thoughts, regrets, hatred – and many other adjectives could be used – I decided to stop. Stop being so hard on myself, and instead, to find out who I really am. I found out that at the core of each of us, is an Intelligent Love that connects us all. But why could I not access and live from that space all the time? I had let barnacles of the soul cover the truth of who I am, and this course is based on my own personal experience of bringing Love into each and every area of my life; of forgiving myself and others. Most importantly – it brought me back to me.
Onwards, upwards, inwards, homeward bound.
I love you.
