I've been using this Sub for a few days now. If it's working how I suspect it's working then it is getting me to cultivate a sustainable sense of self esteem, which is different to what I experienced on LTU and AM6. I've read three books on the subject and have spent good time discussing what it is, and have reflected on it at a good depth. What I've come to is that self esteem is a function of committing to total honesty and truth and assuming 100% responsibility for every aspect of my life. In committing to truthfulness I have to be honest about why I'm doing anything, even posting on this forum is to get affirmation for what I'm doing, to impress people and compete with others to produce good posts and establish a place in the world where I am respected - this is nonsense, as no acclaim from anyone else is a replacement for creating genuine value.
There are two types of self esteem which I agree are real, one which is inherent and passive, that exists beyond anything external, and another which is a function of the active living out of values. Because I am not in control of how what I do manifests in the world, I can only be responsible for being active in truthfulness and responsibility in living out my values.
In that I have a sense of peace and firmness, and can report that I am taking much more authentic action toward my goals now.

Your task is not to seek for Love, but merely to seek and find all the barriers within yourself that you have built against it.
