Thank you for your post. You make a very good point. My wife has in many ways sacrificed her own self to try and please others, but that is not loving oneself. She is working through this with talking therapy.
The two greatest commandments were to in essence Love God and ones' neighbour as oneself.. We cannot love others unless we love ourselves in the sense of looking after our physical, emotional and spiritual well-being.
As regards giving and receiving it was Paul the apostle who said that Jesus said 'It's more blessed to give than to receive.' although it is not also recorded in the gospels.
But it must be more of a blessing to give as we gain from the need to give and the pleasure that we receive in seeing people being happy to receive whatever is given (assuming they are of course!).
But it is still necessary to receive as our needs must be met and we give others the pleasure of letting them give to us.
Ultimately if we all only received and did not give no one would actually receive, so it has to be more blessed to give and this spreads the love as it were.
This is so important, and you've presented a great counter-argument to "it is more blessed to give than to receive," and the deep programming of thousands of years that deters us from self-care and self-love. I recently saw an energy healer who said one of the strongest energies she felt in me was that I live from obligation and self-sacrifice. This was not exactly news to me, but to hear it put so starkly was a wake-up. I can easily identify where that message has come to me in my own life, but I believe there is also ancestral and perhaps soul-lineage influence in that direction too. I think many or even most of us have some of that in our lineages.
I am delighted to find your substack and read your take on "the matrix" and your interpretation of what is going on right now. (And as a former journalist, I celebrate your work in that context too!) Wondering if you are aware of Oracle Girl. Just asking because much of what you say resonates with her work. And, by the way, I found you this morning via Franklin O'Kanu's post from today highlighting and analyzing your recent response to a Robert Malone posting.
Great to hear from you. RE; OG— was in the middle of researching the history, nature and agenda of interdimensional forces on this planet—what so many erroneously label "evil"— writing a book about it, and someone introduced me to Jacqueline's work. What a validation to my investigations and what a gift to the planet she is at this time! I reference her in Cracking the Matrix. Where RU located? I'm on Maui—or rather I'm currently traveling on the mainland and am (simultaneously thankfully & regretfully) missing the current disastrous happenings on the island.
I am in Minneapolis. I lived in Hawaii in the 1970s for about a year, on Oahu. Am looking with great suspicion on the reasons being given for the fires on Maui. So glad you were not there for the firebombing. And glad to hear you are connected with Jacqueline. Her way of describing interdimensional frequencies has been a game-changer for me. All my adult life I have felt that human nature is not what we are taught--greedy, cruel, competitive, violent--and it is only recently that Jacqueline and others have articulated for me what human beings really are--multi-dimensional beings of pure love! And, to learn that those "family patterns" and personal issues that seem to be my own failings and struggles are actually coming from these mental parasites changes everything about how I relate to and deal with those patterns and issues. Thanks for being a voice for these truths!
Epigenetic influences—emotional DNA if you will — are very real. However, the point is, what events stimulating fear/control/victim/subservience patterns have all our ancestors been subjected to over the millennia?
