As I was going to sleep last night, I guess all that I read yesterday and the things I have encountered in the past must have been brewing in my head. In a previous blog I had mentioned that it is pretty much a practice of mine - though I cannot say I do this every night - to listen to some recording as I fall off to sleep. These are oftentimes recording from Dr. Wayne Dyer. Last night I was re-listening to one of his works on the 10 Principles on The Power of Intention. As I was drifting off to sleep, all of a sudden these words were blaring in my head. They were literally screaming in my head and would not let off until I got up to write them down (at least part of them).
"If you hate me, it is because you hate yourself. If you love me, it is because you love yourself. So love yourself. Once you do that you will be able to love me and others too. What you hate about yourself, you will project unto me. I or others become the canvas upon which you paint the ugliness you feel within yourself. And when you love me or another, you love the part you see in me that is you. And more and more you want to make me just like you. But if you don't fill yourself with love and only love - then you will hate me and love me and hate me and the roller coaster ride will continue on and on. The answer to fully loving another unconditionally is to first love yourself. Abandon all that idea that loving yourself and being kind to yourself is wrong and evil. It is not. Love yourself unconditionally. For when you are able to love yourself - you will also love me unconditionally. For indeed we are but One - we are connected - we are from the same beginning. You cannot love yourself without also loving me; and you cannot hate yourself without also hating me."
I get it. I get it - NOW. And only after I get up to write this down was I able to sleep. Yet, I have to admit - last night was not a sound comfortable sleep as I was awaken over and over again throughout the night from dreams that led to thinking. Sadly tho, I did not follow Wayne's advice to get up and write down those thoughts. I wanted to just go back and sleep as I had a rather important meeting in the morning.
So while I can remember some of the dreams - or at least the last one I had before waking up in the morning, the experience of the previous night indicates to me that there is still some processing I need to do on this matter. I feel like I am on the verge of finding out a course for my direction .. where am I headed and what am I to do. So let me stew on this for awhile .. and let's see where it brings me to tonight. I will come back to this tomorrow ...
Peace,
I Am Syl
