I don't feel drawn to making martyrs of myself or my family. Love is a very ambiguous word & I've only recently become comfortable in wielding it. I think many people use the word insincerely.
You do not need permission from the spiritual elites to connect to your inner node & receive guidance. You came into this realm to expand your consciousness by experiencing the results of your own actions & the actions of others.
When we are consumed by fear, we lose that connection to our higher self. The illusion of separation then feels very real to us.
