There, I said it...
Today is the day to express Thanks to Your Self, first and foremost.
We woke up this morning wondering why humans are taught from day one to look up to people and ideas and accomplishments outside of themselves.
Why are we not taught to look up to ourselves, from day one? Why are we not busy writing letters to ourself from the time we learn to write?
Why are we taught to give our power away, and not empowered to give our love away?
"We will love you if you give your power away, young child."
Why not: "We will empower you to love, young child."
Eventually one day we figure out that this entire exercise is about us, in the broadest and most human sense.
Why not just begin with that understanding?
Today, give thanks to your self, for your self, and love your self!!

I think your quote is a profound one, Greg. We are taught through organized religions and even in schools founded on Aristotelian thought that says that there is a discrete quantity of knowledge outside the Self that makes us complete, somehow whole, and this is all wrong. The imagination, the creative tool of the soul, is contained within the Self.
You are right, Greg. Absolutely right. We need to start at a young age to teach people to value the self and to stop giving the power away.
Great post, Greg.
love and peace,
