Does "love your neighbor as you love yourself" mean that we must love all people?

Answer: Love your neighbor as you love yourself is not saying that you should love the human nature ego-self. Why should we love such a self whose primary purpose in life is to preserve, protect, and perpetuate itself. In fact, Jesus says we are to "die daily" to that ego-self, that we must "deny" this self, that we are to "leave our nets", our human ways of thinking, that we are to "take no thought" for our human sense of self. So what did Jesus really mean when he said love others as you love yourself.

Know that the Truth about you is the Truth about them. Look upon everyone and know that the kingdom of God is within them, that God is the reality and the Life of every individual. To love your neighbor as yourself is to know their true spiritual identity, to realize that your conscious oneness with infinity, God, is your conscious oneness with everyone. Know that the grace of God is their sufficiency in all things, that the creative divine principle of Life is the greatest gift in the world and has been given to you and your neighbors.

And above all, realize that when Jesus said "my peace I give unto you", he was saying it to all people. And so loving your neighbor as yourself is to look upon everyone with "my peace I give unto you", and think what wonderful relationships could develop as a result for now your are practicing oneness and because of that oneness, there is peace, there is love.
