Time to meditate , take a mirror and tell yourself "I love you"

Funny , ( my own thought) [*personal opinion] I can tell all my loved ones I love them, friends , even strangers in faith, yet I DO NOT tell myself , what is often much needed . Lina , you build me up, still , always and even though...
glad you are in my direct path of Jedi ism. This seems to be a great way to tame the old man the dragon the beast inside the dark dog the snake in my garden... myself my ego, we got names for days and yet the one name I can think of with all these labels is... me. Thank you . Frequency is part of receiving that which we choose to act. !!! May I be more frequent at this , let's begin! * news to his student with a smile , I leave in peace and with hope.

It’s not that simple.

How so?

I just wasn’t brought up the “I love you” way - it’s not something that’s often said that way in my country, as the language for it is lacking in Swiss German. It’s reserved for romantic love. Doesn’t mean my parents weren’t affectionate and since I speak English with my own kids I say that a lot to them. But it’s awkward to direct it towards myself so I don’t do it.

Being a Jedi is not simple , it begins with self love , if you dont love yourself , how can you love others? A Jedi takes care of himself , aware that when he loves himself he will not be trapped in self pity when others dont love him.

You are worth it ....

You are ! I second the motion. I like you as well as value you and your path, if you met the Peter I know , you would like him too! *wink!

Says who? I consider myself part of the Force - and the same goes for everyone and everything in the Universe. As we are all one in the Force, loving others is the same as loving oneself. There’s no need to direct love at myself as others will not benefit from that directly. Of course I look after myself as I can’t be of service if I’m not well.

That’s said I’m sure it doesn’t harm to spend time asserting self-love but I hardly consider it essential.

I disagree , i cannot give what i dont have , as floating and penetrating as the Force is , if i block an essential part of myself off to myself , how can i reveal it to others ? I am not saying you are wrong , i just see it differently :lol:
