Self Love
In this section of the E-Book Back to the Garden: Cultivating Love in Our Lives, we focus on our Divine qualities. We work to shift our sense of identity from the ego to the Higher Self, which is the source of all our virtues.
Once we have surrendered gratefully to the Higher Self, we can transform egoistic self-love to true Self-Love. We can begin to transform the romantic, egoistic love relations that never seems to last into loving partnerships that endure. We can move from alienation to Unity consciousness, from sorrow and separation to a sense of oneness with the Divine.
