Most believe that love is an emotion and so when they read or hear that one must unconditionally love self and everyone, they wonder how they can possibly do this, feel the emotion of love for everyone and especially for those they don’t even like. Emotional love is simply one facet of Love/ONEness that can be present but does not need to be.
Because most continue to believe commonly accepted three dimensional concepts about love as being reality, most think that unconditional love must somehow involve an emotional experience and when a person discovers that they are unable to experience emotional love for everyone it often brings a sense of guilt and spiritual failure.
It is impossible to experience the emotional sense of love for everyone, because love isn’t an emotion and especially when it involves loving those whose actions reflect the conditioning of the three dimensional state of consciousness. You hear stories on the news, or may personally witness events where people happily engage in hurting and making others miserable and you think; “I simply cannot love this person or these people”.
In order to love unconditionally, a person must first understand what unconditional love really is.
Love is in and of God. No human in and of themselves possesses love to give. Love is the inter-connectedness of all life within the ONE and ONLY OMNIPRESENT DIVINE LIFE–GOD. Unconditional love is living from conscious realization of this.
Unconditional Love does not mean allowing one’s self to be a door mat for another which often happens when a person has accepted old religious concepts that promote every person’s innate unworthiness and love that excludes self. Unconditional love often means speaking up and saying what another needs to hear at their level of awareness. However, even the harsh words that are sometimes necessary will flow on high resonating streams of Light if they flow from a conscious awareness of the other person’s real Divine nature.
Unconditional love is compassionate, but does not enter into sympathy (alignment) with the lower resonating energy of another. Unconditional love seeks to lift the person, not wallow in their heaviness with them. (sympathy) Unconditional love recognizes needs, not wants, and takes whatever appropriate actions he or she may be guided to take. Unconditional love allows choice and never “guilts” another.
Unconditional Love is simply an attained state of consciousness that recognizes consciously or unconsciously that in spite of any and all appearances every individual at his core is a Divine Being. He lives life being or doing what is appropriate regardless of whether or not others know the truth about themselves or is even interested .
Unconditional love is a state of consciousness of ONENESS.
As a person practices unconditional love the best he can with every experience it gradually becomes an attained state of consciousness where it then functions through him automatically. Life becomes more joyful. No more pressure to “save” others because unconditional love means allowing others to live from their state of consciousness which occasionally means allowing someone to fall flat on their face in order to learn and understand the difference between needs and wants.
Call it God, Divine consciousness, Source or even fiddlesticks. It does not matter what you call it because finite human minds cannot and will never fully grasp what an infinite God is. God is always is revealing ITSelf but only those who have evolved beyond three dimensional concepts and beliefs are open to hear it.
The third dimensional earth is governed by and manifests beliefs of duality, separation, and many powers. Lifetime after lifetime most humans have lived lives filled with experiences of both good, evil, and sometimes horrible and feeling separate from God, other people, and all other life forms. Because of this, humans have learned to form judgements about everyone and everything and criticize anyone who does not agree with their own personal belief system.
Concepts regarding love have been taught and passed from generation to generation, often reflecting the cultural and religious beliefs of the particular time period. There are some who prefer authority figures to tell them what to believe while others through laziness or ignorance, simply accept whatever current concepts of love are presented on TV shows, in movies, magazines, or songs which more often than not promote love as being sexual attraction. Many simply accept and never question the beliefs of their parents, friends, or organized religion. False concepts of love continually spew forth from all directions and most just accept them without question because they do not yet know the truth of who and what they really are.
An individual who is spiritually ready to embrace and live from a deeper understanding of love and relationships but instead chooses to continue accepting three dimensional concepts about being half of a couple, how to attract someone, or that sexual attraction equals love will often find themselves having a series of unpleasant and painful experiences with regard to relationships (even those that seem right, continually fall apart) eventually forcing the person him to question what a true relationship really is.
The false sense of relationship is that everyone is half of a couple. This continues to be promoted through books, TV shows, film, and news stories about needing to find one’s “other half” in order to live happily ever after. The belief that one’s happiness and sense of completeness exists outside of them reflects the belief in separation that has caused almost everyone in one lifetime or another to go to extremes in order to meet the “right one” and then sink into depression when it doesn’t happen, wondering; “What is wrong with me?”
The real and higher sense of relationship is; “Because I am the individualization of God/Divine Consciousness, I am now and always have been whole and complete needing nothing outside of my own competeness. If I choose to share that with another I can, but I don’t need to
This is not to say that there is no romance or happy partnership for the spiritually evolved but rather the opposite because a consciousness of completeness will manifest outwardly as what constitutes completeness for the individual and if completeness means having a loving partner it will manifest without three dimensional seeking, searching, and game playing. Relationships that flow from a consciousness of self completeness and wholeness unfold without effort because they flow from within.
The neediness, addiction, jealousy, and game playing that accompanies most three dimensional relationships does not exist in relationships that flow from a consciousness of completeness. Relationships that exist on higher level have romance and emotion, but also acceptance, appreciation, and the freedom that allows each to be the fullest of who they are without judgement or criticism.
Society promotes familial love as being an emotion to the point of usurping common sense. “Blood is thicker than water” has been used as an excuse to commit crimes and do things in the belief that family is the most important consideration in all circumstances. Often when a person decides to go against family tradition or belief in some way, they are ostracized or made to feel guilty by other family members.
All desire for someone or something outside of ourselves is in reality the Soul’s desire for return to the oneness, wholeness, and completeness that is every person’s already present reality but which they have not known as such.
The completeness of the one omnipresent, omnipotent, omniscient Divine Consciousness called God individualized as infinite form and variety can never change or be affected by false beliefs. God knows nothing about what hypnotized mankind is dreaming. If duality, separation,and many powers were present in Divine Consciousness they would be held in place forever by Divine Law never to be healed, changed, or eliminated.
All forms of love are concepts of God infinitely expressing ITSelf in, as, and through the many
