I have a body, thoughts and emotions, but I am not these things. I am something much larger and grander. I am the master of the vehicle. I am pure Essence which has taken a form in order to experience a life in time and space. I am Spirit, both visible and invisible, with individuality, unique meaning and a special purpose. I live that I may learn to love. I love that I may learn to live. No other lesson is required. And I begin with myself. Loving myself as much as I can from whatever state I find myself in. I will only be able to love others to the extent that I love myself. There is no boundary line between myself and others. In love, we are all one. In unlove, we are all separate. When I love myself as much as I can, I find myself loving others as much as I can. And love takes in everything else, even unlove. My goal is to love it all. I've been working on this for over a quarter of a century, and though I've come a million miles, I find I always have as much distance in front of me, as I have behind. Gratefully, I've learned to love the progress and the process. And I believe I have all the time there is.
