Heroic Self Love is the Key to our Liberation By Dr. Angelika Christie
What is Heroic Self Love? It’s the Awakening to who you are; it is your heart’s longing to experience yourself as Love. That’s the dream, and it’s also reality, even when it’s unrealized. Why Heroic Self Love now? I believe that Women are the pillars for a new consciousness and need to step into their power to lead the world into fearless cooperation and peace. FEAR is the most destructive force on earth. Fear is on the rise! The curtain of Fear must fall so that Love can rise. Love is the antidote to fear. As a matter of fact, Love is the most powerful energy in the universe that creates only perfection. Can you see that LOVE is the great Healer? Then Self-Love must heal the Self. Yes? Can you accept that Self Love restores yourself to your original Self? Why? Because you are Love! Do you find it challenging to fully love yourself? Do you find it easier to love somebody else than to love yourself? Yes? Why is that? I believe it’s easier to love somebody else because we can love a part of somebody (usually the more lovable part) and feel good about ourselves. We are pleased! It doesn’t work that way with loving yourself. Well, unless you fool yourself in believing that you can hide parts of yourself from yourself. This may sound strange at first, and yet do we not do it all the time? Do we not by keep the parts of ourselves that we don’t like so much, locked away and hidden? I believe we do this unconsciously. 20

Let me give you a visual example: Imagine a room in your house that you don’t want to go into, so you lock it with 3 locks and put security in front of the door for fear somebody may stumble into it and discover the chaos and garbage there. It’s the garbage of your accumulated negativity. What negativity? • The judgments, • The blame, • The guilt, • The Regrets • The lies, • The doubts, • The illusions, • The shame, ...and on and on and on. Oh yes, better keep that room locked down and out of reach. But it’s there, and you worry about it. You are afraid to go in and, [God forbid] let anybody else discover it. So we get used to wearing masks to hide parts of ourselves because we fear if we show who we really are, we’d be unlovable. Metaphorically speaking: ‘We cannot be fully ourselves when we’re fractured.’ Most women grew up believing that they had to love others first, and also behave in a certain way so that they’d be lovable.
