You're welcome, Theresa. Yes - I think it's actually a helpful distinction, and can open up our thinking and practice. One of the reasons we struggle to love ourselves is because we project what is lovable onto others - THEY are smart, talented, beautiful, brave, disciplined, whatever. It's good sometimes to rest in the stillness of what we are in truth, in which EVERYTHING is welcome, good and bad. Then the Holy Spirit gently teaches us what is real and what is unreal and THAT becomes the ground of peace. Thank you for being here!
I had never really thought about the projected 'good' as also being from ourselves. Thank you for that insight

The razor's edge. And we practice. The practice we have shines...again...on the Love and Grace of our Father...to His Sons. Thank you Sean.
