If your self love doesn’t think so, then good for you for thinking for yourself.
What encompasses my true nature, is loving kindness , compassion and joyful being.
How do you discover those attributes?
By letting go of everything that isn’t you.
What might self love be in part of this process?
An act of conscious engagement towards yourself to nurture and understand your true nature. It’s the relationship you hold towards yourself. What that is is only what you know of yourself.
The act is an all encompassing process of allowing, accepting, letting go to know within true nature is the natural arising of those attributes I mentioned. They don’t require forced practice, they exist as the true self knows and feels as itself. The extension, from there is just being you aware and clear.
