Standing In the Doorway to Love – Integration Through Self-Knowledge and Self-Love

Dear One,

What is the doorway to Love? It is mastery of self-knowledge and the process of integration. Self-honesty and self-honoring are required to attain true self-knowledge and to reclaim the separated self. This self-knowledge and self-integration is necessary for transformation and Self-actualization. We speak here of the process of self-discovery in which one awakens to the splendor of the deepest essence of who they are.
As this happens, one learns not to wait to become perfect but to accept ALL that one discovers about one’s self. This is true self-knowing and it leads to an intimacy with one’s self that brings great inner security.

It is a process of becoming more and more willing to love everything that’s observed about oneself in honest self-discovery. This includes the so called bad as well as that judged to be good. Learning this lesson of Love brings great peace into one’s life and leads to realizing the truth of the Love and Light of one’s being.

Knower of Self is the impulse of the spiritual pioneer. First, known thyself, then to thine own self be true. We are all in a continual process of self-discovery, experiencing more of who we are.

An important benefit of living in this way is that – as we pay attention to who we are, loving what we meet – we begin to meet others who more truly and clearly mirror who we are and who we are not.

To progress in this, the magnetic part of our natures – the yin, or feminine quality – can be called upon to aid us – it brings loving compassion. And it compels commitment to trusting experiences that reveal self-knowledge.

It is time to manifest more of who we are. It is crucial now that we demonstrate self-trust and not abandon ourselves in judgment. It is also time to recognize how much we have grown and to celebrate our lives. Every moment of each life is what has brought each of us to the point of readiness we are at. We can celebrate this, dear ones!

True self-knowledge is the fire of divine light combined with the passion of elevated emotions. Together they are pure alchemy, creating a combustion of self-illumination that integrates the splintered, wounded aspects of self.

Truth paired with self-love leads us to reclaim those parts of ourselves forfeited to others. We also then can integrate those splintered identities separated in pain and wounding. And we regain those parts of ourselves and our lives that we have suppressed.

We – all of us – are ready now to face the next stages of our own self-knowledge for it leads to self-realization. This happens naturally when bringing our simple honesty and self-kindness into our times of reflection. We learn about who we truly are and are not, what we really want and do not. And then we can gently embrace the changes that rise up to meet us.

May loving kindness and compassion be our guides, this is my prayer for us today.
