You explain self love in a very real, practical and grounded way, in a way that I can tell you do love your self. You speak from your own experience, and you embody that truth, that’s why I resonate deeply
You can’t pour from an empty cup. In order for us humans to care for others we must first take care of ourselves. It can be difficult at first but with practice it will be achieved. Thank you Michael for this lovely reminder! Namaste ❤

2:37 I much prefer the terms "wave" and "ocean" over the terms "little self" and "greater self". 🌊 Explanation: "In our relative identity as waves, we appear to be separate from each other. There is a ‘you’ wave over there and a ‘me’ wave over here, at two different points in space and time. I have a name and age, gender, skin colour, size, and so on, and so do you, and on this level, we cannot deny our relative differences. But as separate waves, we never truly meet. However, beyond our differences there is an underlying unity, as the great spiritual teachings throughout the ages have always been reminding us. For in our true identity prior to concepts, prior to form, prior to space and time, no matter how we appear, no matter how we ‘show up’ in the world, we are all the same ocean, nameless, ageless, formless. On this level, so to speak, we are not separate at all, and never were - indeed, there is no ‘me’ or ‘you’ in the first place to be separate or not separate. As the ocean, we are already meeting, deeply." -- Jeff Foster, "The Ocean is Waving!"
Are you saying that a person can't have feelings about themself? I don't think that can be true, because I have known many people who actively hate themselves.
@@itzakpoelzig330 yes that’s exactly what I’m saying. You can have feelings about your body, your mind, your past, your future etc. none of those things are YOU. In self-love, who is loving whom? If you are loving your self, then your self is separate to YOU, so who are YOU in that case? To love, there needs to be a subject and an object. The subject does the loving and the object is being loved. So you by definition cannot be loving your self, you are loving something separate to YOU, which you have falsely identified with.
@@jordangill2710 I'm not sure I follow your reasoning. You seem to be making two separate arguments. 1) That because the aspects that you could love about yourself (body, mind, past, future) are not the true self, therefore the love that you can feel towards yourself is not true. 2) That "love" is a verb which takes an object, and that it therefore must have both a subject and an object and that those two must be different things. Neither of these arguments makes much sense to me. If loving the aspects of something is not true love for that thing, then we can not only not love ourselves, we can't love anyone or anything, since we can only be aware of the aspects of that person or thing which are available to our senses. So, perhaps you are arguing that there is no such thing as love? Or perhaps you are saying that we can know other people and things more deeply than we can ever know ourselves? Your second argument is a semantic one. You say that "to love, there needs to be a subject and an object." It's true that "love" is usually used as a transitive verb (one that requires an object) but it is also acceptable to use it as an intransitive verb. Most verbs in the English language can be used intransitively. But even if "love" were an exclusively transitive verb, there is still no rule in English usage that forbids the subject and object from being the same entity. You can lay yourself down, you can pick yourself up, you can kill yourself, you can hug yourself. All of those are perfectly allowable constructions in English, and perfectly possible things to do.

There is no such thing as self-love. If you give love to something, that something is not you. In self-love, who loves whom?
Are you saying that a person can't have feelings about themself? I don't think that can be true, because I have known many people who actively hate themselves.
I hope one day you can have love for yourself!
@@itzakpoelzig330 yes that’s exactly what I’m saying. You can have feelings about your body, your mind, your past, your future etc. none of those things are YOU.
In self-love, who is loving whom? If you are loving your self, then your self is separate to YOU, so who are YOU in that case?
To love, there needs to be a subject and an object. The subject does the loving and the object is being loved.
