In truth, are we becoming more
unconditionally loving or less? To answer this we must first define what
unconditional love is, I hope the following does just this. I recently found
the following in my research on this topic.
_______________________________
Extract:
"Conditional love is a
polarised emotion, meaning that it has an opposite emotion. The opposite
extreme of love is hatred. Conditional love comes from ego and generally
focuses on someone (like romantic partner, child, parent, friend) or something
(like a house, a car or a job). When we love someone conditionally, we tend to
want them to look, act and think in ways that fit our own paradigms and
expectations.
Unconditional love is a neutral and has no opposite. The source of
unconditional love is Spirit; therefore it is available to everyone without
discernment, and there is absolutely nothing we need to do to qualify for it.
_______________________________
Indeed, conditional love has everything to
do with fulfilling our desires to feel good or feel better and better, there
seems to be no end to fulfilling our ego desires. Are multinationals happy with
owning millions of dollars worth of assets? No, it has to be billions and even
trillions. Do we not also use spirituality to feel good or better and better? Lets
be honest, the feel good industry that serves our desires is growing at an
alarming rate. If it doesn't make us feel good, it's a negative, I am
flabbergasted (astonished)!!
I am flabbergasted because I can't see how
we have evolved any further in consciousness from thousands of years ago. Is
trying to escape and/or showing an obvious disdain for humanity a show of
unconditional love? If you can face the so-called negatives face on as you do
the positives, this is a sign of being unconditional within your consciousness.
Unconditional love is a consciousness of the absence of conditions period, how
many of us separate what makes us feel good to what doesn't make us feel good?
We often do this by judging what is and isn't negative and positive to start
with. A separation of consciousness by the ego to fulfilled its desires!! A consciousness
of unconditional love has nothing to fulfill, there are no desires therefore
nothing to fulfill.
If people like me were all about feeling
good and fulfilling our desires, we wouldn't be telling the truths in the way
it actually is, we would instead tell the truth in accordance with ours and
other people's desires. I certainly don't desire to tell the truth in the way
it is as it doesn't make me feel good or bad and this is where the neutral
comes into it. It's a con by the ego, way do we have to feel good or bad,
negative or positive? The strange thing with not always trying to feel good by
separating consciousness into negatives and positive, bad and good, it does
make me feel good by simply being neutral. Being neutral isn't a fulfillment of
a desire; it's simply being of a neutral consciousness between what's desired
and undesired. Being of a neutral consciousness, a consciousness of the absence
of conditions depicts a consciousness of fewer motions. It's understandable
that the fewer motions we express, the more truly unconditionally loving our
consciousness will be. So many spiritual practices depict just this but are we
truly listening?
In a time of insurmountable deception,
chaos, mayhem and destruction, it is understandable and natural for the ego to
desire to escape from this by any means. Be careful though, is deceiving
yourself to an existence of unconditional love, when this existence has
insurmountable conditions, not of the deception therefore a creation of this
ego controlled existence? It is advisable to never create another existence
from the same energy that created the previous existence; this kind of
consciousness will never truly evolve in this manner. Any separation of
consciousness naturally creates an existence based on deception and
self-deception. Separating consciousness by any means will only lead to
deception and lies or half truths!!
My advice to any spiritually aware person
is to desist in any program, (ideology or ism), which leads to the separation
of consciousness into negatives and positives, bad and good, black and white.
Try to become more neutral and the more neutral you become, the more
unconditionally loving you will become without effort. Are people like me truly
unconditionally loving? No, we are of no conditions, this simply means to
become unconditionally loving hasn't the conditions of not being of desires as
well, just being simply aware is all that is needed, aware of our neutral
being/existence. Remember, to try to be the opposite of desire is still of a
desire, simply be as neutral as you can be without desiring this state too much.
Go with the flow, not against it.......
