Egad! I had believed for many, many years that time heals everything, and when that belief suddenly fell apart one day, I was reduced to a deep silence. Within a conjugated series of dizzy moments, I realized that nothing had changed since I was young, that my hurt and pain had not gone away. I was the same person I was a decade ago; I had merely perfected the art of suppression.
The repetitive blunder that millions had fallen prey to over many generations stared me in the face. The universal cry for healing was imminent. Time does not heal, it never did; only love heals, it always has.
If you're thinking self-love, you're right on the mark. I cannot emphasis it enough. All forms of love can propagate healing, but without self-love, we are never truly receptive to its external manifestations.
My experiences of loving relationships have been vast and deep for life flung me through the colorful array of friendship, love, and compassion. Even without a conscious spiritual connection, I was deeply nourished by the healing quality of love for a good many years. Yet, I quickly learnt that to blindly depend on love from an external source created stress for the heart center, for it was intrinsically capable of loving itself and providing itself with an eternal source of nourishment and support.
When I stopped the merciless act of slowly drip-feeding my heart with the love it needed, and opened it up to love itself... I changed. Now, I am not going to claim it to be an extravagant transformation. No, it was something very soft and subtle. The change was with the heart, and she hardly made a noise. There was a quiet change in quality; I had become more gracious in giving and receiving love.
In effect, it was only then that I had truly started to accept love into my heart and life. The deeper realization that I had actually kept myself from love in the past is haunting indeed. And I continue to watch today as the proliferation of such a habitual trait triumphantly binds many to their chains of lack and disharmony.
They bounce from one relationship to another in a futile attempt to heal their hearts, unconscious of course, to the very power within them.
Self-love opens up the heart center and heals you far more deeply than any loving relationship would allow. I only wish you could see it for yourself.
