Fascinating! There are a lot of parallels between this and classical Stoicism.

Thanks so much for this! Appreciate the shout-out and this was definitely worth the read, self-love isn't discussed nearly enough.

“How you relate to yourself is how you relate to everything else.” This is the Great Work and everything I write about is about self-love and the truth of inherent wholeness. Writing a piece: Back to the Garden - full circle.

You can't give something you don't have. If you don't love yourself then you don't have any love to give others. Love yourself so you can share it with others.

Such an important issue, this is putting the Divine healing medicine right where it is needed.

There is profound truth in this piece. Like getting very close to the core of The Truth. You've said many of the things that I say, but so many of them much better, thereby expanding my understanding. Exciting! I'm restacking it to my list. It's THAT good. Thank you.

Have I been reading badly all these months, or is the tone and style of this post different from your prior pieces? It seems more personal and less theatrical: more like you are talking in a living room rather than on stage. Maybe it strikes me differently because I have changed without realizing it, but I really think it is the writing that is different. And better, at least to me. Thanks!

During the channeled messages, I do automatic writing. Whatever comes out, comes out. It tends to be in the second person. And when they drop those mornings, I often forget I ever wrote it and it feels like I'm reading it for the first time along with y'all. This is just me sitting down to write a response. No cards, no songs, no runes, no channeling, no automatic writing. Just me. Glad you like it! 🙏🏻💜💫

Thanks for sharing this Demi. When I am writing I also often feel the information or wisdom is coming from somewhere above my level and is mixed with my own experiences in life and developed abilities. Sometimes it makes me feel like something of a fraud, taking credit for wisdom that is beyond me and my present personal level, but it is teaching us even more than those with whom we share these things isn't it? Someday perhaps you will the who some aspiring soul will be "channeling."

That's why they always say channeled messages at the top - they're different from my regular writing. My regular writing takes on several tones, but it differs strongly from the channeling. I don't plan to come back down here, so I might be one of those guides! I have hundreds, if not thousands, of guides surrounding me at all times. I can't see them, but a friend was able to see them before I even knew I had the ability to channel. The room fills up with them. The tragic part about that is, whenever it happens, he loses his memory. So he can never remember hanging out with me other than the fact that it's written in his calendar... and he knows I have guides and figures what happened. He'll ask me afterwards and it's always the same thing... we were hanging out or eating a meal or whatever, the guides came in, and he can't remember the rest. The room fills up with so much love from my guides that he starts tearing up and his memories of it completely disappear beyond that point. I can't say who it is because he doesn't like people to know that he has this gift. He keeps it to his close friends. But it was a very powerful experience to have, and to find out later that I had this ability... it made the rest of it make a lot of sense.
