The love and wisdom of the divine shines through this book. If you wish encouragement on your personal journey and more love, Self Love as Spiritual Practice will help you. It is filled with all the wisdom I share with Spirit, what I also call Godd. Self Love as Spiritual Practice is now available at Amazon, Barnes & Noble, and from the Publisher/Xlibris. For years I've brought in messages in the form of wise, wonderful poetry. In the 1996 the poems started to focus on a process to help me learn to love myself. They explored the importance and power of loving myself...which leads to the reception and integration of the self-Self.
This all came together to create this book.
Why love yourself?
As is said so poetically in the central message of this book, a poem I heard in 1996:
To love thyself is To love Me embodied in The human life form My creation, My desire To share Spirit in you To know knowing in you To love with you.
Love thyself and you love Me. We are One, you know.
—GODD
In this context, self love takes on a whole new meaning. Loving yourself is loving Source, Spirit, the Divine, whatever you call God.
Why Love Yourself? To answer a deep desire to be Love. To love and be loved, wholly, unconditionally, all ways and always. This book is co-created to help you meet this deep desire, the yearnings of your human self, your soul, and your essence.
Love yourself, and you will find that many other wonders open to you.
From GODD’s Preface
Love yourself to be your optimal self and to evolve. Self love is an entryway to more love with Source, to higher consciousness, and a step towards knowing yourself as love. Self love is something everyone deserves.
Loving yourself opens the way to experience more well-being and to gain self-esteem that is love based rather than ego based. Spiritual self love helps you gain the ability to truly love another, relate well in community, and attract loving mirrors.
With the continued practice of self love, it becomes the foundation for loving others and creating more love in your life. This all adds up to carrying Love energy within you. Love has a glow about it. When you carry it, you radiate Love. What a wonderful way to help yourself and others, as well as contribute to world oneness and peace.

Here is the wonderful sample: from the third Key to Loving Yourself. I love the way it starts. It introduces many concepts that come up again. It introduces the concept of the misunderstandings we have passed down about spiritual teachers, in this case Jesus Christ. If Christianity is not your path, not to worry. This is explained more in the book.
To Love the Whole Self
Yes, this is one of
the grandest
Lessons in this life
To love the whole self.
Yes, this includes
your insecurities,
Your inner child,
your abandoned self
Your weaknesses,
your pains and injuries
Your getting fired
as well as promoted.
Oh, this is not
weakness to
Embrace your
seeming failures
And shortcomings.
It is not that you cannot
Better that within yourself
which holds you
back from being
All that you really are.
It is that giving love and
Compassion to
these aspects of self
Is part of the bettering.
For how can
anything heal
Or grow without the lifeblood
Of Love and breath?
So breathe
Love to and into all that
You would change
for the better.
And into all in you
that pains --
Physical, emotional, psychological.
You must do this – as you
Must learn this is what it is
To be human on this planet
You call Earth.
Without this self-love and
compassion,
Without knowing
you will always
Wisely and
Generously give yourself,
These aspects of
Your Godself
Or your higher-self,
To your human-self
Without this ability,
the everyday care of self
You come to wither,
You come to
sickness and ill health
You loose all peace of mind
Your anxieties rise like
A spurting volcano
To erupt and flow burning
Scorching heat all over your
Bodies, into your minds
And drowning your Spirit.
You, your being human
Is a tricky form of life.
You’ve become so
distant from Me,
Or so many of you
have -- not all,
You forget.
Your lack of understanding
My son, Jesus Christ,
Your misinterpretations
Through the distraught of your
ego selves And other
manifestations of misunderstandings,
These, these have
injured you so.
I would have it healed
Believe Me on this ---
But I digress in my desire
To have you healed
and loving.
The message here is
To love yourself, all aspects
Especially when
you are hurting
Anxious, rejected, injured,
Ill and afraid.
This is to love Me,
Is to right yourself, for
It’s not that I
disdain the wrong
So much, as I, the Divine,
The I AM, am
embodied in you
In order for us to
have livelihood.
So dear ones,
you are so dear
Because you chose
to be my body.
And then you forgot
who you Are.
Remember!
One way to remember,
To heal yourself and the Earth
Is to love yourself where you hurt
When you hurt, as you cry --
And let those tears flow,
Give yourself love and compassion
In all your aspects, please.
In this you comfort, nurture, nourish
Yourself and help bring yourself
Back to Me.
And know the love I would
Breathe into you with every breath.
Godd Speed.
