Often it takes some serious drilling down through various layers, and the analogy of peeling an onion is apt because it makes you cry too. If you are learning to Love then does that mean Love somehow eludes you? If so then what are the reasons for that? Would I Love myself myself if I didn't have a fat backside and I was more Spiritual? Is your Love for yourself conditional, and if so what are the reasons?
There are so many layers of frameworks, both Spiritual and personal, both internal and external that become barriers to us not Loving ourselves and often the building of those frameworks have been going on since we were children.
Love is not a concept and it is not external nor conditional, it is your core being. If there is a 'bottom line' question, it's did you Love yourself enough to give yourself this experience?
