So the “Energy of Self”, is what makes everything else possible, including the “Energy of Love”!

Thanks for taking time to read what I have shared with you!

Thanks for you perspective and the stories that support your perspective.

In reference to your stories I hold a different view and perspective that played out through your stories.

BEing true to Your Self, or being True to Another is another duality we experience everyday.
The willingness or begrudgingly excepting and allowing another to control your life, your choices and what you desire to do and experience.

I see the “Energy” to BE true to Self as the stronger than the “Energy” of Love that compels!

Very few struggle with the Energy of love!
But many struggle with the Energy of Self!

There are so many people and those in the spirit realm who speak of love and suggest it is the strongest most powerful energy in the universe.

But what is “LOVE”?
It is many things to many individuals kind of an umbrella words for that which moves and feels soooo good!! Kind of an energy of the experience that moves in profound and interesting ways!
Yet Love is an energy that comes and goes, emanates and flows but is not always felt and realized in each present moment of now, even though it is suggested it is always there.

But “SELF”, the essence of “SELF” is ALWAYS present for each of us!
Where ever we go, what ever we do, how ever we exist, our “SELF” goes with us and is present for everything. So it is when we deny our “SELF” and follow another “SELF” and their ideas and wisdom for us, that we forget our “SELF”, ignore our “SELF”, and begin to give aspects of our “SELF” away to another.

In the absence of “SELF”, love is just an energy that does not matter and is not matter, nor does it hold form.
“SELF” has to exist for “Love” to be a possible viable energy we experience.
Many experience the energy of LOVE with another or as they say, to be “IN LOVE”, until they don’t or they are not “IN LOVE” any longer. Then they often look for it again.

Love is an energy that comes and goes with the moments and events of our life.
But, the Essence of Self, never leaves and is always present for everything, and within everyone!

So for me, both of your stories demonstrate a desire to be “TRUE TO SELF”, and not Be deterred by the fear based possibilities of “What If” another or many others do not like or do not approve of my BEing true to My “SELF”! How will they act or react?

So as much as you suggest or promote “Love” for another or others that compelled their choices.
I suggest and promote it was Self and the desire true to their “Self” that was stronger and more compelling within!!

Just Me
