True love is a very rare state of being indeed. For in order to love one must love thyself and in order to love thyself one must love everything just as equally for everything is an extension of ourselves and together our combined consciousness and life-force make up God and in order to find God and in order to truly love God one must love thyself and know that by truly loving yourself you hence love God. Thus the lack of such love is the greatest sin for the lack of such love is the separation from God. Only through true love will humanity realize that we are all one and that our current purpose is to bring Heaven to Earth through the realization and practice of such unconditional love.
In order to love another one must first love thyself. In order to love thyself one must know thyself. In order to know thyself one must not fear thyself or thy individuality. Your uniqueness. Thus in order to know yourself you will have to practice some meditation in which you conjure up and relive your past without blocking anything out. No matter how bad your past is you must confront it in order to know yourself because your past is what has made you. It is especially critical to remember your childhood past. Especially from the ages of 4 - 12. From 1 - 6 you are technically not conscious but completely subconscious in which you are being entirely programmed during this time. Thus if you had psychologically abusive parents that scolded you often and called you names then during this time you would be programmed to believe what they are saying which in turn effects you for the rest of your life. Most psychological problems can be traced to early childhood. From 7 - 12 you are conscious but you are learning how to deal with the outside world (school - classmates) while you have already been programmed by your parents. Thus your psychological problems become even more of a problem in school. Then by the time you learn to half way deal with your problems in a sociological setting adolescence approaches in which hormones intensify such problematic behavior. This is the reason why "problem children" almost always have a dysfunctional family. Now in order to love everything you must learn to understand. When you meditate and relive your childhood do not close yourself up when you reach sensitive situations. Instead try to understand why your parents were acting the way they were or why a certain situation happened. Put yourself in their shoes and try to view from their view point. Once you understand you will forgive and through forgiveness you are on your way to reprogramming yourself so that you no longer have such psychological problems. The point is to not have any problems and instead face everything that comes at you with a mind to understand and a will to apply a solution. Most children are not able to do such things so they toss such problems into their subconscious in which throughout the years they multiply creating all kinds of psychological problems. Thus it is time to face yourself. Know that since you are an adult you will have more then just childhood psychological problems to deal with. The problems I speak of now are caused by the psychological programming you receive from T. V. and the outside world that pressures you into conforming to their nature and not to your unique individuality. Thus do not feel guilty when you meditate and such so called evil thoughts or images go through your head. Try to understand why they are there and you will find that they are there because of T. V. or because of the fear that lies within you. All you have to do is try to not think about such things. When ever they appear in your mind tell yourself that this isn't me and I no longer want to think or see this kind of stuff. After a few times of this such images should cease to plague you. Know that any so called evil that you believe is inside you as a potential was put there by society and is thus not you and is under your control. Best way to stop thinking such things is to change what you watch. If you watch serial killer movies and documentary's and thriller movies often then of course you will have a morbid fascination, desire, or fear. But that is not you so then don't allow it to program you by not watching it. Know that everything you watch programs you. When you watch T. V. the adds as well as fast switching of the camera puts you in a meditative usually trance state in which you are very easily programmed. You have the pharmaceutical companies instilling fear into people about all of these illnesses and what to look for which in the end turns a lot of people into hypochondriacs which thus makes them dependant on a drug which trains their cells and metabolism to no longer do their job which in the end makes people dependant on drugs when in the beginning it was all placed in your mind. The mind is a powerful tool that has been used against the people since their governments decided to side with corporations and greed instead of with their people.
Once you have a good idea who you are and thus why you are the way you are you then have the means to reprogram yourself. All you have to do is forgive yourself and the people who caused such bad programming. Then you become conscious of such bad programming and tell yourself that this is not what I want to be. If you have a psychological ailment then you can tell yourself that you have no ailment. That you are this way because of what happened in the past and now that you understand you no longer have to be this way or have such an ailment because now you know how to deal with the core of the problem. Remember that psychological problems as well as most health problems are not the real problem but instead the symptom of an underlining problem. Once you learn to know your psychological self it should be easy to find the real problems as well as a solution through understanding. Once you know yourself you should love yourself. Especially since you have noticed that since the beginning you never really have been yourself but instead a program that your parents and society has created. Now that you know this and know yourself you can love your true self and thus rebuild yourself. This applies to other people as well since they are all fractions of your self. Once you know yourself you will know others around you. Why they do what they do and thus you will know a solution. Though such a solution will only work on such people if they care to take the time to fix their problems. Most people never find their solutions because they are always running away from their problems and thus stacking on more and more problems until they are nothing but a problem. Hopefully this has helped the reader to know how to know themselves as well as understand those around them in which they always forgive and thus love.

Seven Hermetic Letters by Dr. Georg Lomer
Once you know yourself to the point where you can rebuild yourself you should learn to know your spiritual self. Click here for details. Once you fully know yourself physically, spiritually, and psychologically you will then be able to love yourelf. Now that you know your self you should realize that everyone is an extension of you in that given the same circumstances you are a mirror of them and are thus nothing more then a puzzel piece that is a part of the whole. Thus you should bare no anger at others because they were made to percive differently then you but instead offer help so that they may learn to percieve differently so that they may change for the better. Since you are now spiritually aware of your electromagnetic field you will be able to feel your direct connection with everything around you in that you will feel changes in magnetic polarities as you come closer or farther away from objects. You will be able to feel flows of energy going through you at different rates depending on the object or environment. You will see that you are apart of a great circuit and that with focus of spirit you can effect other magnetic flows and forces that are going through you and that are brushing up against you. As you pay attention to this oneness and make notice of the effects each polarity has on you and then percieve them all at once you will enter a state of pure ecstacy in which it seems as though some form of music is being played throughout your entire being resonating you to such ecstacy. As you focus more and more on such ecstacy you will gain a strong force on the imediate polarities that you are tuning into and will literaly become one with such objects in that they are an extension of your mind in that through your will you change reality as through it was a part of your dream. This happens because as you tune into so many polarities at once your conciousness expands in which your imediate environment is consumed within your energy field and thus conforms to your will because such objects have no other will beyound their program. Thus if you pay attention and become aware you will see that we are all constantly making love to everything around us and vice versa. This is why life is so blissfull to those that are enlightened. A great orgie of love that forever evolves through the infinite combinations of electromagnetic fields (math).
