Learning to love the self is a big part of the process IMO. First you have to see the self as worthy, as one may the "virginal maiden", instead of thinking of ourselves as "prostitutes without virtue", those who can be bought and sold.
Learning to love yourself isn't really to court yourself, you're not trying to win yourself. Just shifting/unveiling the focus of how you perceive yourself.
This is how I view the resources of the deep mind, they are an integral part of what I am. I can become aware of it, fall in love with it, seek harmony with this aspect of myself, but I don't see myself courting this aspect of myself to also fall back in love with me, as it is inherently there. It simply is something that is greater than my lower self and which gave birth to this lower self that I am.
Then again I would not seek to court creation. I would just allow myself to be what I am and evolve on that path, it is the role of others to find love in what I am and not my role to do this work for them nor alter my being to allow others to find love in it (this would be endless within the relativity of many-ness, and literally impossible to do for everything simultaneously). Just like it is my own role to find love in all of the things that I am through others.
