My thoughts are related to the ego - I have never been able to get the rationale behind 'love yourself'.
My ego tells me that self love feels too narcissistic so I prefer my ego to live by the rationale;
Love is what you give to others - the part of love you keep for yourself is self respect.
When you respect yourself it is so much easier to respect other people.
I see the cabal/illuminati/whatever are very ego dominated and lacking self respect - and as such - they really don't exhibit respect for others, planet Earth or our combined future.
Just my thoughts.
Much Peace...

Don't despair,
Those that suppress their ego will get the best prize of all >
enlightenment.
Those that dwell on their ego are blinded
by their ego, and will miss out on the whole meaning of life.
Egomaniacs and sociopaths go hand in hand.
It's a weight and a handicap I'm thankful not
to be burdened with,
Enlightenment is empowering as well as
something to be thankful for.

While I respect your opinion I don't think you get my point. I have self respect and that is all I need - I do not need to love myself - that I give to others. In turn love for me will come from someone else - far healthier option - but that is my belief.
As for the bible - the bible is missing many many chapters and until I can read one in its entirety I will not base my beliefs on the condensed version that has been syphoned off to us.
Yes the cabal/illuminati/whatever are definitely ego driven - everything they do they do to benefit themselves and their sense of self importance.If they truly cared for other people it would be because they had self respect. What they have is self love and self adoration and self belief and self self self ...get it?
Much Peace...
