I have come to realize~
we all hail from that original source~ {you} refer to as the "multi coloured heaving mass of energy" also known as conscious thought, a creation in a wonderous perfect rhythm

And along my personal journey of All There Is,
I've come to appreciate by the manifestation from thought ~ the emotion of love~ that my own imperfection > fits perfectly within that multi coloured heaving mass of light energy > often defined as multi-dimensional consciousness> as it continues its cosmic circular trek
back to its origin > too a place called

What is perfection? I'll take a bite
To know how dark is balanced by light

To know everything happens right on time
To know all is allowed even the worst crime

To know everyone evolves at their own pace
To know inner and outer space is filled with grace

To know there is no god waiting to punish or judge
To know all is forever well and nothing can you fudge

To know each instant is as fresh as a mountain stream
To know you are the dreamer that is dreaming the dream

To know time is a cycle where the sand will never run out
To know you always have a choice between faith and doubt

To know the seasons have a reason and all of creation does too
To know each mind contains all things and that equal love is the glue

peace,
mikey

Unconditional Love


We all know the expression – but do we all mean the same thing when we use the words?

I am going to examine “unconditional love” from the perspective of what mischievous distractions obscure the original meaning of the expression. Then I will look at how relating to unconditional love in its pure form can empower an individual human being.

“Love” is a problematic term on its own. We use it to refer to everything from preferences (“I love chili hot dogs”) to appreciation (“I love the way you arranged those flowers”) to emotion (“I love my dog”) to commitment (“I will always love you”). We use the simple expression “I love you” to mean an apology (I know I upset you but I didn’t mean to, please forgive me), a demand (do this because I love you so you owe me), a promise (I will take care of you for the rest of your life), or a way of avoiding a promise (I love you, isn’t that enough?).

When we add “unconditional” to qualify love, we narrow the possible range of meanings considerably. If you really comprehend what constitutes a “condition”, you will find that the type of love which is truly unconditional is one with which we are not terribly familiar in our culture.
What does “conditional” mean?

Conditional – relating to conditions.

Conditions – circumstances, requirements.

So, if the presence of love relates to any particular condition (circumstance or requirement), it is not, by definition, unconditional.

The love of parents for their children and vice versa is not unconditional. It depends on the circumstance of being related by birth or adoption. Parents and children can move from conditional to unconditional love at any time (once the children reach the age of reason), but most never do.

Sexual love is not unconditional. It depends on the sexual attraction between the participants. It is possible that two people who have a sexual loving relationship may also love one another unconditionally – the test of this is whether the love would be present if the sexual relationship ended and both parties started sexual relationships with others. If this circumstance would interrupt the love, then the love is not unconditional.

The love of one’s friends is not unconditional. It depends on shared interests, mutual support, communication, and all the other things that make our friends our friends. People who share friendly love may also love one another unconditionally. If the love is unconditional, it remains present through betrayal, lies, long periods of no communication, and severe divergence of lifestyles and interests. If any of these circumstances threaten the love, then it is conditional.

Unconditional love is not personal. If you love someone for their sense of humour, personality, the way they make you feel, or any other aspect of their identity, your love is conditional. It depends on the presence of that characteristic. If the person ceased to be or have all the things that you enjoy, would the love still be present?

Here’s the real kicker – unconditional love does not come and go. It just is.
So, there exists unconditional love between all people, and in fact within the entire Universe, at all times.

So how can we say that, for example, love between parents and children is conditional? If there is always unconditional love present, wouldn’t “love” always be unconditional then?

While unconditional love always exists, we are often unaware of it. And other forms of love, conditional forms, are one of the things that can get in the way of truly experiencing it.

What gets in the way of experiencing unconditional love (as a presence) is all the distractions of a human being identity. These distractions include the seven deadly sins (anger, pride, envy, and so on), but those are relatively easy to spot. A more subtle set of distractions is all the things we think are good – like the attached love of sexual partners, friends, and relatives.

There is something daunting in surrendering the attached loves. Somehow, it seems almost unloving to let go the bonds and love those people just the way we love everyone else on the planet. It is as though we feel the attached love is loving “more”. Loving personally and specifically is “stronger” or “better” to us.

I can only offer as encouragement my observation that it is easier to truly hear and understand someone when listening from unconditional love. Attached love clouds the space with your own ego identity and its wants and needs, limiting the room for the other person to express themselves and be heard clearly. Attached love contains expectations, which cause upsets when they are not met. Upsets cause reactions, reactions cause further reactions, and before you know it the experience of unconditional love is completely obscured. You may still be having a good time, even, but it is a small, inside-the-ego-consciousness good time, not an experience of boundless, infinite, unconditional love.

In a way, it is easier to experience unconditional love with a stranger than with someone close to you. There is less pre-existing “stuff” in the space. Although we are pretty good at projecting all kinds of apprehensive thoughts into the space with a stranger, too!

In the end, unconditional love is a reflection of the whole human experience – all around all the time, yet we are attending to anything and everything else, and we just miss it. The brief moments of pure consciousness, of complete connection with the Universe, have their corresponding moments of pure connection with another human being, you-and-I-are-one consciousness.

We resist it.

We avoid it.

We fear it.

We worship it.

We seek it.

We deny its very existence.

But, fundamentally, we are it.

When you take away all circumstances, all identity, all personal characteristics, all individual ego wants and needs and desires, all that remains is that which we all have in common, that which we all are.

And that which we are is – only and always - “unconditional love”.

Your task is not to seek for love,
but merely to seek and find
all the barriers within yourself
that you have built against it.

I put on my headphones and i go for a stroll
It's time for some communion with my jolly soul

Each step i ground some heaven into earth
The clouds join me to the sun's song of mirth

Music has become my drug of choice
As the beat repeats my bare feet rejoice

From goa to techno to euphoric trance
My walk around town turns into a dance

My fingers conducting the melody in the air
The people that see me just laugh or stare

But i don't care because i am free of the judge
I stand rooted to innocence...i will not budge

An expression of love...my body's passion to move
I am one with the moment...i am one with the groove

peace,

'Be a lamp unto yourself.

Don't search for light anywhere else;

the light is already there, the fire is already there...

Just probe a little deeper into your being, enquire.

Maybe much ash has gathered around the fire...

Just probe deep inside, and you will find the spark again.

And once you have found a single spark inside you,

you will become a flame, soon you will be a fire...

a fire that purifies, a fire that transforms,

a fire that gives you a new birth and a new being.

Be a lamp unto yourself.'


Last words of Gautama, the Buddha

It is great to be back here in Avalon ! Be here NOW ....

When you are present, you can allow the mind to be as it is without getting entangled in it. The mind in itself is a wonderful tool. Dysfunction sets in when you seek your self in it and mistake it for who you are.

Question Re: Be here NOW

Well~ this very interesting rhythmmm

I had a very strange occurence while sleeping this past night? I suspect a friend (or several) here on this forum, have been up to some mischief!!

Note, I have been under a lot of stress (I imagine like many here) lately. I had even lost my voice during the last few weeks.

I went to bed early last evening, just exhausted! After apparently falling into a deep sleep, I awoke few hours later~ feeling like my body (from within) was on fire? Note, I had no fever no temperature nor was I sweating? Even my Jack Russell, who sleeps by my side was burning up?

I became so warm (hot), I even had to turn on my over head ceiling fan to cool off. The room did, but I didn't
I eventually feel back asleep, till this morning, only to awake feeling quite well and rested? I called to my dogie to let her outside then!!
I notced my voice had returned~ not just audible ~ but in full tone

After briefly meditating and reflecting upon this strange phenomenal experience, I now suspect what might have occured? I am very aware a few of my close friends (here on this forum), have some incredible abilities And ~ I have my suspicions > who might be conjuring up some healing energies here

I feel very refreshed and quite exhilarated at the moment. My voice and throat are fine and the sun's up and the birds are chirping!

Thank you ~ my friends
Much love too you all<>giovonni
