Love the Universe, Love Yourself
Understand that you’re part of everything in existence.

I’ve been dabbling in the greater existence of us. I’ve been following a trail of explorations in the purpose of life. Why are we all here and what does any of this mean? I finally came to some of the answers I have always longed for — and as I suspected, they involve love. The love that we all long for was always right in front of our noses.
Here’s the thing. You’re part of a great mind. The universe is a oneness of consciousness. It is a loving entity. Since you’re a part of it, like a cell in your body is part of you, it loves you. It is aware of you and it wants the best for you. It wants you to align with what it’s trying to do — evolve and exist in happiness.
If you love it, then you love yourself, and vice versa. You are within this greater entity. You’re part of a greater consciousness. Your self-awareness is one point inside a greater awareness. So, directing love toward yourself is helping the greater entity love itself. When it is feeling good and loving itself, then you feel more love and abundance in your life. “As above, so below.”
Gratitude Grows Abundance
Our goal is to love ourselves more so the universe can love itself more. We have to try to always be grateful. As parts of the whole consciousness, we often cannot control what is happening to us in our lifetimes, and the universe has the ability to change things for you at the drop of a hat. But it is not cruel. It is just doing its best, and it responds to you when you are happy to be part of all of this.
So, when you grow your gratitude and view your world as a wonderful place, you’re sending the universe the message that you’re happy to just be here. And it will feel a sense of bliss that another one of its parts is content, so it will flourish in response. It sends abundance to its parts that are aligning with it.
Cause a Chain Reaction
What if you could cause more people to love themselves? What if you could spark a sense of gratitude in more people around you? You’d create a mass sense of bliss that will alchemize reality for us all. The universe would sense more and more gratitude within it…
