I've gone through a situation in which I paid a lot of attention to 85.16. Even though they're speaking of green ray, which they've identified as an outward expression, universal love and all-embracing love includes the self. In my situation, I was struggling with whether or not I was loving enough if I didn't get involved with someone who, for various reasons, I wasn't really interested in. I felt that if I denied this person, I would be a failure in the eyes of love.
It took me awhile to realize that rather than lacking an outward expression of love, I wasn't accepting myself, which isn't all-embracing. In fact I kind of knew this all along but I was denying it..I wasn't being honest with myself. Moreover, it wasn't really wise or practical in terms of our life experiences and differences. I wasn't sharing myself in full compassion with others (18.11). It's very easy to look outwards, and be ok with other's faults. It's another thing to encounter them in yourself and accept them. To deny a trait in yourself is the same as denying that same trait that you encounter outwardly within others. That would be blatant fallacy. Maybe a situation involves giving more of yourself, or maybe it involves accepting your limitations, which is what I encountered.
Accept yourself! Once you learn to do more and more of that, while working on seeing your traits in others, you'll find in general that your being begins to lighten, which is what you're seeking.
I may be off in relation to green ray however, as indigo deals with acceptance of self. Although indigo was described as dealing with the spiritual/occult/hidden nature of things, so indigo may be more of a spiritual balancing of reality. When you really start looking at the Law of One deeply and attempt to understand the advice given, you begin to see where it lacks unfortunately. Especially with the discussion of the rays. There are many follow-up questions to be asked. P.S. - It took a lot of effort to not make a bunch of sexual jokes in this thread
