The principle of love is the principle that allows you to continue to discover your true self. Following the principle of love, you reach out and communicate with others, deepening your connection with the outside world in the process. The more well connected you are with the outside world, the better you are following the basic principles of love. It is a false illusion to feel that you are an isolated individual. Please see the various external relationships as a projection of your true inner self; one day you will understand that the true meaning of all external relationships is to let you learn to love yourself from the inside out. Every communication you have with another is essentially an exploration of your own waking consciousness, for that is where all your external relationships really are. When you learn to love everything in the world, you will truly integrate the principle of love into your life. In essence, loving others and loving ourselves are one and the same thing, not separate from each other.
