Crazy Love

This is a commentary on self-love. How far does it go, how deep does it run? Is it genuine? Why is it taboo and/or seemingly socially irresponsible to put self-first above all, in ways that aren’t just for capital gain? I want to bring about a global change in that conversation. It’s my sincere belief that self-love is the only love and everything else is just an overflow of that profoundness…

Is it that we are afraid to love ourselves in a way that is genuine and filled with deliberate intention? Or is it that we don’t yet know how to love self in true authenticity, as it is in direct conflict with the western ideal of the love of things? I could ask a million questions, one no more profound than the other and each one filled with just as much curiosity and excitement as the last. However, the fact still remains, that self-love in its truest from seems to be a bit of a taboo.

I can only speak for myself, so let’s not think that Luna is calling out the masses and putting your self-love to the test; this is not my intention in the least bit. Conversely, if we are not constantly thinking, challenging ourselves, and evolving what is the point of our existence? Why are we here? HA! THAT is a different story!  However, it’s one that I will be touching on, but covering in another post.     Anyway, self-love… 

Many of us speak on the Law of Attraction which is a beautiful universal truth that states, in its simplest understanding, that Like attracts Like. On a broader scale it says that if you want something to be manifested within your life or present situation, you need only (with the purest intent) to will it within yourself and call it into your life. Our thoughts are very powerful, our minds filled with infinite potential.

Along with the power of our thoughts and the limitless potential of our mind, there is something unequivocally beautiful about love. We are all birthed into this world through the unconditional love of the Universe and it’s that same love that’s innately woven into our essence. We are all born with the capacity to love crazily in and unconditional way, so why not start with self?

I believe that there is an unspoken Law of Love. This law is the absolute height of our intention, being amazingly profound and beautifully dangerous concurrently. It is through Law of Love of love,  self-love, that we can hone in on our personal attraction factor and truly become the engineers of our destiny. The orchestration of such destiny however, requires no ordinary, fly-by-night cookie-cutter love equipped with mantras and meditations (Not to discount their effectiveness, because they are effective). Loving yourself in the capacity of your absolute highest intention requires crazy self-love, BIG self-love.

There is a beautiful quote by Ellen Johnson Sirleaf that says ‘If your dreams don’t scare you, then they’re not big enough.’ I would beg the question about the way we love ourselves.

If the way we love ourselves doesn’t scare us, then is it big enough? 

Self-love is the motivator; it’s the difference between progression and regression. Just like we look for partners that will love us past our hang-ups and pain, we must first do this for ourselves. Love ourselves in a crazy way, a way that constantly challenges your very definition of what love is and how it’s expressed. Loving self so BIG and so CRAZILY that we create an excess of that love that we can then spread to others, thus connecting us to the human spirit and the collective life force of ALL things… The Infinite Cosmic Consciousness!!!

At the end of the day with that outpouring of love, filled to the brim with your absolute highest intent, there is nothing selfish in that… At all. Hmmm…
