26.2
Those who would deny self-love
For those who would deny the greatest of all virtues being self-love, of respect of self then let their eyes be opened. It is only through self respect and self love can one truly receive the love of others and the universe.
A clogged heart is a heavy heart and not nearly as much of divine awareness may enter. A closed heart is a lonely heart and a mind of self-hate is in hell. Only through self respect and self-love for all our faults may we know what it is like to be one and to be one with the absolute.
