Title: Self Compassion
Post by: Serena Duvet on Mar 02, 2011 01:14 pm


From The Love Book

by John Randolph Price, pp 28-29

A Love Affair with Self

Love the Presence of God within you, your Spirit, with all your heart, with all your soul, with all your mind, and with all your strength.

When you Contemplate that Presence within you, your very Spirit, with great love, that one-pointed love-focus will literally draw the awesome and incredible power of the universe right into your thinking mind and feeling nature. You take on the Power and you become the Power and you speak as the Power—and behold—all things are made new!

Jesus called this the first and greatest of all the commandments because of the effect of this activity on consciousness, and if there ever was a “magic formula” for turning our personal worlds right-side up, this is it. Mediating on your Presence with all the love you can feel in your entire being changes the vibration of your energy field and moves you to a higher frequency faster than anything I can think of. And in the process, you are disconnected from the race consciousness, and false beliefs and error patterns are burned away by the fire of the Living Christ.

But this is not something you do once or twice a day. The secret is to live that Love of the Presence . . . to glance within many times a day and express your adoration . . . to court your Holy Self with total interest and attention.

Find your point of contact, and begin the Love Affair this very day. That point may be the feeling of love in your heart, a Light seen with the inner eye, or perhaps an awareness in your mind of a higher Presence hovering in the background of your consciousness. Find that focal point—identify it as your connection with your Master Self—and pour all the love you can feel into it.   Do it now.

I am compassionate to my Self.

When I feel that I have failed at a task or aim that I have set for myself,
it is important to me that I forgive myself and not dwell too much on my
shortcomings.  Of course I want to learn from my mistakes, but I don't
want to focus too much on the negative side of things.  I am compassionate
when I talk to myself, and seek to use a gentle, constructive inner voice. 
I'm where I need to be in a given moment, and I seek that which is always
the elevating aspect of my reality.

The painting is signed F.C. Cowper 1905
F.C. stands for Frank Cadogan.  F.C. Cowper
was British, 1877-1958 and studied painting
in England and Italy.  He is sometimes called
the "Last of the Pre-Rapaelites."  He loved the
work of Dante Gabrielle Rossetti and Millais.
