Deep Thoughts

As I write today, I am influenced by Ira Progoff. He has increased my deep thoughts on what is missing from so many. Loving one's self. If we loved ourselves deeply, we would look less toward what's outside ourselves; to what is within. Self-love could increase our imaginations and allow more of us to become what our hearts desire.

True self-love

Requires nothing from the external

It is never ending

Though it will never be satiated

For the only thing

The self will not stop seeking

Is evolution

The self must expand

To keep self-love alive

To ever increase

Pride in one’s self

Satisfaction is shortly enjoyed

For a day, maybe a season,

As the greatest version of self

Thus far

But survives only a moment

As self-love takes pride

But unavoidably

Our awareness expands

And the old self must die

And a new self is born

And becomes the knowledge it gains

The wholesome cycle of self-love

Where complete love

Turns positively into temporary satisfaction

And evolves into awakened knowledge

As the old self must die

At least a thousand times

And become reborn, anew

Bringing temporary satiation within

Which will cease to remain permanent

Because inevitably

The page will turn

And the self cannot help

But expand again

And self-love grows

Once again

Always again

But how will we ever

Love thy self

When the love we seek

Comes not from within
