Our our inner world is reflected in our outer and we cannot give what we do not have. We look to be loved and cared for but we look outward for something which must come from the inside. If we cannot love and care for ourselves within, we will never find a satisfaction from the outside.

Whether we realize or not, and/or accept it or not, we are loved and cared for by Creation in being here in Creation. In understanding the creative process, it is to realize that something had to give of itself to free the creative life energy for us to be here. It does not matter who or what we think has given us its energy or why. What is important is some consciousness desired us into Creation and has been willing to give of its creative life energy for us to be here. We can start to learn to love ourselves from this realization. We only need to be open to what we already have and is already available to us.

The underlying intention for all the rituals that we create is to love ourselves sufficiently to care about what we experience and to create something which better serves us. The rituals we do are only a demonstration that we are loved and cared for. We need to see the individual(s) who comes to us to participate in our ritual(s) and metatheater(s) be the evidence that we are cared for and supported by the universe. We never need doubt that we are loved and cared for.

The recommendation is to create a ritual or metatheater that in some way allows us to (1) acknowledge that we are loved and cared for and (2) that we love ourselves sufficiently to do the ritual and/or metatheater to create something which better serves us. The basic question we need to ask ourselves is, "What would it take for me to believe that I am loved and cared for by Creation?" Then whatever answer we have to that question, create a safe symbolic performance of that answer and claim it as a demonstration that we are loved and cared for.
