Unconditional Love

The following text I ripped out/stole from a book which supposedly tells the story, or journey of a Master and his education, so this is set in a time when he was the apprentice.The story that follows is a bit long, but I think it xplains in a very easy way about love, and more importantly about unconditional love, and I think everyone can benefit from reading through the whole thing........and when you're done, tell me your opinion and your thoughts about the subject "unconditional love".....or forever be silent heh he hehehe, that last part was obviously a joke ;)-Pasiel-Love is probably the most abused word on Earth. Some people think they know Love is compassion, giving, caring, nurturing. And some do know it. But the word love, and even the concept of love, is generally used to describe something quite different, something actually selfish and unloving, that’s why we take such pains to differentiate the terminology.THE TERMINOLOGY“The terminology, the description. It is important because it can mean more things than any word in any language. For instance, love is often used to describe something that gives your selfish separate self pleasure. ‘I love ice cream!’.What does that mean? It means that the sensations you get from eating ice cream give your self a great deal of pleasure. ‘I really love Sam’. What does that mean? Since most relationships are based on this separate self, selfish oriented ‘love’, in that context it means that Sam gives you pleasure, so having a relationship with Sam brings you pleasure. Thus the selfish separate self wants Sam, wants to have Sam, wants to possess Sam. Yet you say you LOVE Sam. Wrong. You don’t really, truly Love Sam in the sense of caring, giving, selfless self-sacrifice, like a good mother Loves her child. There may be an element of that kind of Love involved, but it’s always strongly overshadowed by the self-centered, selfish kind of love.What they call love in this Sam example, is just the normal, typical, mutually possessive, mutually attached, ‘give & take’ relationship. Each person expects to take and the other is expected to give in order to maintain the relationship. It is one-sided on both sides, you see? So you have two trains on the same track, moving towards an eventual head-on collision. That is the kind of relationship most people have and expect to have. Such selfishly based love is a condition of negative polarity - the ‘way’ of taking.It is always ‘sucking’ energy. This is the exact opposite of the condition of positive polarity - the ‘way’ of being giving. The ‘way’ of being giving, could also be called Unselfish Loving.It is a basic precept for us, that in order to achieve a Universal consciousness, and fully understand the Universe and our place in it, you must Unselfishly Love. So it is important to recognize and differentiate between Loving Unselfishly, and loving in a selfish, possessive way.”“Yes, I think I understand all that. You probably remember the story I told you about my girlfriend. And I did try to love her enough to let her go, and not be jealous. And I thought I was doing that at the time. So I totally agree that it’s important to recognize and differentiate between selfish and Unselfish Love. I do want to achieve Unselfish Love and Universal consciousness. But how do I really know which is which, and when I am feeling selfish love or Unselfish Love? It’s already fooled me once.”“Start by contemplating your motives for giving or loving. In other words, when you are ‘giving’, what do you personally stand to lose or gain from that giving?Is there a selfish motive involved at all? If so, it contaminates any real unselfish giving and Love that may have been there also. When you are ‘loving’, what will you be getting back from the one you ‘love’? For instance, if you give a gift to your lover, don’t you expect to get gratitude and extra affection? Selfish motives are behind giving or loving in what would be called a ‘normal’ relationship. Often, even when people give to their lover, there is a subtle motive to get something back.Because when you give to your lover, feeding their wants and desires, they like it, they ‘get off on it’ as you put it - then they like you because you are giving them the things or feelings they want - and we know that. Thus YOU get a response from them that ‘gets YOU off’. That’s ideally how it works in a normal relationship, but it’s often not the case. There is also an expectation of reciprocation, which is ultimately never met.”“But I didn’t have any selfish motivation when I offered to let my girlfriend go do that.”“You thought you didn’t, but you had a selfish motive also.”“No. What?”“You didn’t think that if you did that, she would let you do the same?”“Well, yes, it would have been an assumption. But I didn’t do it because of that. I really wanted to live true Love, and give Love, and I wanted her to be happy.”“I see in your eyes that you speak the truth, son. You have already learned the lesson of motivation, and giving in that way. But you haven’t transcended your selfishness yet. And therein was the problem.”“Yes.”“And you have much to go through before you will, I’m afraid.”“I hope not.”I had no idea the suffering I would have to endure before I transcended my selfishness regarding women, finally become truly Unselfishly Loving, and find true Love. Our conversation went on.TRUE LOVE“Is there such a thing as ‘true’ Love?”“Do you mean in the sense of a relationship?” (He didn’t give me time to answer). “No matter. In either case, the answer is the same. What I would call true Love, is simply Unselfish Love. Unselfish Love radiates to all without exception, so powerfully that it transcends your separate self and IS God’s Love flowing through you, to others. You become the vessel that is ‘channeling’ the Universal Spirit (while also being the Universal Spirit). It gives to all who would receive. It is like a Sun that gives warmth, light, and life to all, in all directions simultaneously. If your love is not one that gives to all and loves all, then it is a selfishly based love.If you experience jealousy or possessiveness, then it is a selfishly based love, not true Love, not pure Love, not Unselfish Love.”“Then virtually no one truly Loves, or experiences receiving true Love.”“Unfortunately this is true. There are few situations in which most people experience giving pure Unselfish Love, and the unselfish joy that comes from giving it. Yet it does happen in certain ways from time to time. Mothers have the greatest opportunity for this, because of the very nature of their relationship with their children. Mothers cannot expect to “get something in return”, or be reciprocally loved by their young children, as they might expect in a normal relationship.Those who do expect gratitude from a young child are going to experience disappointment, because children have not usually developed even the ‘artificial showing’ of such appreciation at their young age. Most mothers will find joy just knowing they have done something good for their child, or that their child is happy. Some parents, both mothers and fathers, have experienced the feeling of the joy of giving unselfishly, when they give their child a gift that is ‘from Santa Claus’, rather than from Mom or Dad (thus not getting ‘credit’ for the gift). Also, most mothers would be willing to die for their children.Part of that is genetics of the human animal, but another part is Unselfish Love. A mother is generally happy, rather than jealous, when their grown child finds a mate and a pleasurable relationship. There are exceptions to this of course.One such exception which can result in strong feelings of jealousy, and dislike towards the grown child’s mate, is when there is karma involving past relationship ties between a mother and child. If the mother, in a past life, disliked, liked, or was romantically involved with the person who is now her child, there can be problems. Or if the mother disliked or was jealous of the child’s new mate in a past life, there will be discord.”“So there is no reciprocation of love when you Love Unselfishly?”“That’s not what I said. There can be, but there doesn’t need to be. If you feel a need for reciprocation, you aren’t purely loving Unselfishly. Being Giving, Unselfishly Loving, warms the heart and is beneficial to the giver, and the one who is being given to. Unselfish Love is its own reward. The Universal Spirit is Love.We are like faucets and the Universal Spirit is like water. When you open up and let the water flow to all, you are constantly being filled with the water as it passes through. But if you close the faucet off because you mainly desire to keep the water for yourself, it doesn’t flow through you, and you are left empty.”“Which is what most people do.”“Yes. And the people who are thus empty because they don’t outflow their Love, then start looking in a different direction for something to ‘fill them up’. If a relationship diversion won’t do it for them, if they are not loving and getting love from their relationships, which always eventually happens, they do other things.Even if they stay together with someone, they must look for diversions to fill the emptiness of the lack of love and God in their hearts and lives. Desperately they ‘think’, constantly keeping the brain busy so they won’t be aware of their emptiness.They pursue selfish pleasures and amusements of all kinds. They go from diversion to diversion - food, games, clothing, movies, TV, sports, parties, social clubs, hobbies, lovers, shopping, cars, candy, you name it. But there is never any peace, and never any real or lasting satisfaction - only a temporary ‘fix’.And like a drug addict who needs a ‘fix’, the more it gets the more it needs/wants. But the pleasure never lasts, and the feeling is never the same as the joy you get from giving, and ultimately the connection to the Universal Spirit that is made through giving.They’re left with that hollowness again, and the need to find some other distraction.” “They are really looking for Love, looking to replace Love, and doing everything but what they really need to do to find it - give it.”“Oh, I get it now that you put it that way,” he smiled wryly.“What do you mean?” I said as he shook his head and walked off. I was confused at why he did that at the time, but later, when I had become more spiritually mature, I realized it was because the tone of my statement reflected my huge ego, and that I wasn’t listening well enough.So I just stood there for a moment, a little stunned, wondering why Zain was just walking off like that in the middle of a conversation. He walked fast, too. He was already half-way down the path back towards the monastery. If I hadn’t run after him, he’d have already been inside and gone somewhere before I even got to the gate.“Father! Father! Wait!”He just kept walking. When I finally caught up to him, he didn’t stop either. “I wasn’t done,” I panted. (from the lack of oxygen at that altitude).“I was.”“But I just wanted to ask you a few more things?” He shrugged his shoulders. Later that day, I found him again, and asked if he would speak with me some more.“Can I pester you with a few more questions now?” I said.He smiled in a manner that said “OK”. So I started firing off some questions.“So one should only seek to Love others, and not receive love?”“Don’t misunderstand, there is nothing wrong with receiving love, taking love. In fact, receiving Unselfish Love is wonderful. It is when you only conditionally give love, under the guise of love, in order to get something for yourself, that is wrong. It is a serious problem in the world.”“I have heard it said that you must love yourself first. Only then can you love others. But this seems contradictory to our teachings.” He stopped walking and looked at me with intensity. It was a look so intense that at one time, before I really knew him, it would actually scare me a bit inside.“There is nothing wrong with loving your self either - unless that is a rationalization for actually being selfish, which is often the case. But you can really, Unselfishly Love your self. In fact, it is unavoidable if you Love Unselfishly at all. Because when you Love Unselfishly, you love ALL, and that includes your self.And when you Love Unselfishly, you feel so good about yourself that you can’t avoid loving yourself. But you don’t ever really feel good about yourself when you love selfishly - your self might feel good temporarily, but you don’t feel good about yourself. And if you don’t feel good about yourself, how could you really be loving yourself? And how could a heart full of selfishness even find room for truly loving its self simultaneously? So it is backwards- what ‘they say’ about loving yourself first. Now remember this - instead of ‘loving yourself first’, Unselfishly Love others first, and you will truly love yourself automatically. You just can’t go wrong that way.The other is too often just a clever trick of the selfish separate self, to rationalize selfishness.”“OK. I’ll always remember that. Getting back to relationships, you touched upon the subject of what the signs were of selfishly, or Unselfishly Loving in a relationship, but can you tell me more about that, specifically, how you can tell if you are loving selfishly in a relationship?”“I already taught you this earlier.”“I know, I was just hoping for a greater clarification. I’m sorry if I’m being dense.”“Better. OK. And it is a very important thing to learn. One of the ways you can identify selfish love is, as I mentioned earlier, when you do a self-examination of your motives, and you find that your actions, or feelings of ‘love’ are because you get something, some kind of energy or attention from the ‘loved one’. This is what most people call love.Here is a common phrase that makes a good example. Perhaps this will help clarify. ‘I’ll scratch your back if you scratch mine.’ You’ve heard that, yes?” I nodded.“That kind of love is conditional. It will only give if it is getting what it wants. That’s what most relationships are built upon, that mutual agreement to give to each others’ selves. Here’s another one you must have heard before, ‘It must be give and take’. No. It must be ‘give and give’ in order to work, because if it’s ‘give and take’, what happens when both feel they should be taking at the same time and think the other should be giving?And that happens all the time. Relationships like that don’t last; they are disintegrating and full of turmoil, for each self wants and fears, and when it doesn’t get what it wants or is confronted with its fears and dislikes, problems start. When people enter relationships like that, everything is perfume and roses for a while (‘honeymoon period’ phenomenon) because the selves are each getting so much energy, so much self-gratification.But after awhile, one of the partners in the relationship always falls short, and doesn’t give as much as the other wants - then negativity begins to snowball in a familiar cycle. One partner feels slighted and says or does something to hurt the other. Then the other reciprocates and hurts back. This negativity builds strength and momentum each time it goes back and forth. The relationship is damaged. Sometimes the damage can’t ever be repaired and becomes just another coffin nail in the relationship’s eventual death. It can be no other way in selfishly based relationships - Universal Law is in effect here. Only in Unselfish Love is peace found, both for the giver, and the receiver.Of course, the biggest warning sign of selfish love, is jealousy. Selfish love is also possessive, and thus must spawn the most horrible and destructive emotion that exists, jealousy. Selfish love can only bring negativity and destruction in the end. How many have hurt, or even killed, those they supposedly ‘love’, because ‘they loved her/him so much that they ‘couldn’t stand to lose them’.What Yak Dung! What a grand deception! Such is pure selfishness, not true Love. If you have true Love for someone or something, Unselfish Love, you want the object of your Love to be free and happy, regardless of the consequences to you. When your love is selfishly based, you care more about what you want, and really care very little about the ‘loved one’, if you care at all.”I didn’t really know what else to ask him at this point. He’d answered all my questions thoroughly, and new questions about relationships wouldn’t crop up until the future - the next time I had to deal with my most serious relationship issues, which I’ll discuss later in the book. But this seems like the appropriate chapter to reveal more of the Children’s general teachings about the emotions and virtues that are integrally related to True Love. So let’s travel to another time, years later, when I was lecturing to a group of novices in the great meditation hall, about the Children’s teachings on the practical qualities of Unselfish Love.The Real-World Qualities of Unselfish Love“Unselfish Love is the most important way of being that there is.”“Why?” said novice Yusef.“With the exception of people who are hardened in darkness, virtually anyone can agree that kindness, compassion, caring, giving, creation, are good things. Thus, these things are far more significant than any belief, any teaching, any ‘wisdom’, any knowledge.”“Even more important than the ancient texts and the Children’s teachings?”“Far more important. If you don’t understand that, you don’t even really understand the teachings, because that’s what they are all about. Those qualities are virtues that are the result of Unselfish Love, and Oneness with God, are they not?”“Yes.”“That was a rhetorical question Yusef.” For a moment I wondered if I was such a pain as a novice.“We call these traits the basic spiritual virtues or qualities, and they are the natural result of true ‘spiritual’ growth. If these qualities are not the outcome of your ‘growth’, then the growth is not really spiritual.”“Why?” Again with the why.“Because true spiritual growth moves you away from the world of separateness and selfishness, and towards Universal Consciousness and Oneness. Such a shift in consciousness can only result in caring for all - for you realize that all beings are you, all the Universal Spirit. For instance, you may see people who profess to be ‘holy’ or ‘cosmic’, who meditate or pray, or people who have great metaphysical knowledge or developed abilities and so called strengths through various programs or doctrines.Whatever they are getting out of it, if it’s not making them more caring and compassionate, it’s not spiritual growth.COMPASSION.Compassion is the greatest of all these virtues that are a part of Unselfish Love. Compassion means feeling for others, caring about others. A person without compassion is truly empty and cold. There is such a thing as imbalanced compassion however. If compassion clouds the mind, and alone dictates your actions, you can make many mistakes and end up harming yourself, and the ones you care about.But this is a problem all too few people have. It is better to have too much compassion, than not enough. But like all emotions, it should not overwhelm you and take control of you. Emotions should be ‘feelers’ - sensors that we are open to, fully aware of, and get information from - but that we are sufficiently transcendent of, so they do not control us.”UNCONDITIONAL LOVE“Master, is Unselfish Love the same as unconditional love?”“Very good question Yusef. I guess you could say Unselfish Love is a type of unconditional love. But if you interpret the words ‘unconditional love’ literally, it means giving to, or being supportive of someone, regardless of their actions, no matter what. If we use that as the definition of unconditional love, then what we call Unselfish Love is different in an important way. Unselfish Love does not mean giving the loved one anything they want, or supporting any and all actions.Unconditional love like that, could be harmful to the one you love. Unselfishly Loving someone does mean that you will always care for them, always still care about what is best for them, regardless of what the loved one may do or choose. But there can be conditions set on interaction or support.”“What conditions should be set?”“It’s not a matter of a fixed rule. Everyone is different. Everyone has different needs. There are some things that are the same, but each individual does have different things that should be allowed, or not allowed.”“So how do you know where to draw the line and what to give or not give?”“Loving someone unselfishly, automatically makes you give to the loved one what their ‘whole being’ needs. But it does not just feed their wants and desires. In fact, Unselfish Love may actually require denying a loved one’s desire. But whatever is required for the person, whether giving, and/or denying, both are done REGARDLESS of its consequences on you. Even if it means the person will hate you, or fight you, you must do what is best for them.For example, consider the raising of children. Let’s look at the application of Unselfish Love vs. unconditional love and “normal” (selfish) love, in that scenario. There are times when you should not give a child what it wants, because it’s not in their best interest. They may want something that could harm themselves, or harm someone or something else. But when Unselfish Love is not present, a child is likely to be ‘given in to’ when they persist, or throw an ego tantrum.But if you give in, even if there is no physical harm that results, it can make them what is commonly called ‘spoiled’. The term ‘spoiled’ is merely a euphemism for a person’s selfishness being so consistently ‘given in to’ and ‘well fed’, that the self grows in power and wants more, and expects more. In the case of children, they become what people call ‘little monsters’, and in the case of adults, they become what’s called selfish ‘jerks’ or ‘bitches’. Child or adult, a person who’s selfishness is overindulged becomes quite difficult to deal with, and they lack civility, and love for others - and you don’t want to be the one who feeds such a thing, do you?”“No.”“That was a rhetorical question again Yusef. Does anyone else want to ask anything?”“Maya, I feel you have a question?”“Yes.”“Ok. I understand what you want to know. You’ve seen people who are often mean to their children, sometimes they get very abusive. But that isn’t what we mean by not giving in to them. Quite the opposite. You see, there is a common flip side to the coin of indulging someone’s self.Since it is being done because the person ‘giving in’ is actually selfish, the other aspects of their selfishness also come out. Sometimes rather than ‘giving in to’ a child, the same parent (who is not Unselfishly Loving), will instead treat the child with anger or even violence, which also further creates bad programming, bad behavior, and a ‘monster’.”“But why do they give in sometimes and not others?”“Various selfish traits. Laziness, not loving enough to deal with negativity, etc.. How many times have you seen a parent tell a child not to do something, and the child ignores them. The child ignores them because they KNOW they can get away with it. Then the parent says no again. Still no results. Eventually the parent gets angry, and either yells or strikes the child.What does that teach the child? Two things- one, it may be worth the gamble to see how far it can get away with something, because they know the parent doesn’t really mean what they say, or back up their threats very often. And two, when the parent finally ‘loses it’, all the child knows is they are being attacked, hated, and that bigger and stronger is better, and might makes right.All very bad lessons. On the other hand, an Unselfishly Loving parent will give loving instructions one time, and then demonstrate that with absolute regularity, then if they are not listened to, a loving discipline will occur.Sure, it takes more work, and iron clad consistency, and you must sometimes do things that are unpleasant, both for yourself and for the child - such as taking away something the child likes, or ‘grounding’ them, or isolating them like sending them to their room - but always with Love and kindness. Only such true Loving action yields good results. And it yields remarkable results. The child will eventually not ‘test’ its limits, and ends up a happier, more loving being itself.This applies to relationships also. If you tolerate harmful or unpleasant behavior in a mate or a friend, either because of ‘unconditional love’ or because your relationship is based on selfish motives, then you have a mess. And when you finally ‘lose it’, and get negative and angry, it will create even more of a mess. But if you Love Unselfishly, you may even be able to help someone overcome their problems, by both not tolerating bad behavior, and giving loving, positive direction at the same time.”“I Want to Know what Love is - I Need You to Show me”By now the importance of Unselfish Love should be clear. But how does one really get to know what Unselfish Love is? We gave little examples earlier in the chapter, about how some parents may have “tasted” a bit of the joy of Unselfish Love, by anonymously giving to their children under the guise of gifts from Santa Claus. But even that “taste” was virtually nothing compared to the full experience of being totally Unselfishly Loving, and the mix of peace of mind, sadness, and bliss that accompany it. Nor does it give us a taste of what it’s like to be totally Unselfishly Loved.In my later years, I discussed it with Zain. “Father, I don’t know if you remember, but a year or so ago, we discussed how one could know when they are selfishly or Unselfishly loving someone.” “No. I don’t remember. But I know you always speak the truth now Peniel. What do you need?”“We covered a great deal about my selfishly loving. But not enough about Unselfishly Loving. I am seeing changes in the way I deal with people as I Love them more, and I also see the results of it - it can make such a difference. I have moments of Unselfishly Loving. And when I think about my personal experiences with the Adept teachers here, I can imagine what a difference it will make in me, if I become fully Unselfishly Loving, all the time. And you have told me that my time to leave will be coming soon. Obviously, I can’t, or shouldn’t, leave until I achieve that kind of Unselfish Love, as a permanent state. So could you tell me more of what I need to know?”“Peniel, you will know all you need to know when your time has come. But of course, I will answer your question. You know I look forward to our talks a great deal these days.”“As I do also. I Love you more than I ever thought possible.”We embraced for a moment, then he spoke.“The fact is, most people have never experienced pure Unselfish Love, either giving it or receiving it. And how can anyone expect to even know what it is unless someone first Loves them unselfishly? How would you describe colors to a person born blind, or born color blind? And how could you describe colors to someone else, if you were born blind yourself, and have never experienced color yourself?That would be even be more difficult. And Unselfish Love is something that you can give “unselfish blind” people, that will describe it to them - even more, it will show it to them, even though they have never experienced it themselves. In the future after you are enlightened and have left here, when you meet people, it will almost always be the first time they have ever met someone who really Loves them. And you will often be a stranger to them. It will always be a blessing for them, even though they may not know it, or know what’s going on. It will be more powerful than your words, (even though it will be in harmony with both your words and your actions). Because the experience of being Unselfishly Loved involves feeling something from someone, something subtle possibly, but something that you’ve never felt before. It also involves an Inner spiritual kindling, a knowing, and actually seeing an example of the way someone lives and acts when they are Universally Conscious. Most people can’t Love Unselfishly, until they experience being Loved Unselfishly first.Too few have experienced the impact of being in the presence of a being who is fully Unselfishly Loving. But it is not by accident. It is because they have not been willing to experience it within themselves - they have not been willing to surrender to the Universal Spirit within them. When a person is willing to begin to change, to start to Unselfishly Love, then they will meet someone who Loves them Unselfishly.You will be meeting people like that all the time. People who are ready to change. People who have prayed or desperately hoped for some kind of answers or guidance for their lives. This you will bring without even trying, or doing anything. Experiencing being Loved by a totally Unselfishly Loving being is a great blessing, and this can spark the flame of Unselfish Love within the “loved one” (if they are open to change and to begin giving themselves). Unselfish Love can spread this way. (note: Often, the first time one ever experiences being Unselfishly Loved, is from one’s personal true teacher. I’ll discuss this more in a later chapter.)But know that there will be great pain. Because often those who you have completely opened up your great heart to, and made yourself vulnerable to through your Love, will hurt you. You already know though, that such is the price of being a loving servant of the Universal Spirit.Then there are those who are spiritually hardened, or hiding from the light within, or even the brothers of the darkness. Depending on the severity of their opposition to the light, they will find your presence, your Unselfish Love, mildly disturbing, to extremely annoying, to a reason for rage, anger, hatred, and even violence and murder. You have seen it in the history of all our kin. Look what they did to the grand master, even though he planned it himself to spread the word of Unselfish Love and Oneness with God.”

Good answer.

I've heared some say the "outside world" (or emotions) are mirrors of some internal issues a person may have. And to some xtent I do agree with that notion too. Like in the xample above where he talks about what we normally associate with the word "love" or even a relationship. Are most of the concerns and headackes/jalousy/whatever a bi-product of our own insecurity/selfishness?

Do we always recognise our motives for doing whatever we are doing?

I know me, heh I am mostly on autopilot, but I find it facinating, once in a while, to really audit myself. Indeed, I am a strange creature, lovable...but strange....but I think I'm able to live with myself despite my flaws, I am hardly ever too hard on myself :D

I think that, as with most "spiritual" xorcises, it narrows down to self contemplation and above all, being true and honest to oneself in doing so. If one fails at this or ignore it, these images (issues) get's reflected back in life anyway. In other words, it is hard to escape oneself.

OK, this whole thing may have come off like something negative, let's try and make it sound positive. I'd say the more honest and acknowledgeable one is towards ones own "faults", in all matters for that matter, will tend to manifest a more positive xperience, perhaps even as one is still dealing with a certain issue. I mean, if you've identified a "problem" you've allready solved half of it....if you catch my drift :)
But also the mere notion of being aware, or could one say awake? Anyhow, just being that sure counts for something...and it aint negative :D
On the other hand, avoiding, ignoring or hiding, even being unaware of this, certainly seem's to manifest, eh, not so positive xperiences in ones life, and this seems to be at the heart of most of the "problems" we face in our lives.

Should one choose to practise unselfish love?

I dont know, I mean "yes of course", but I can't speak for anyone but myself. Personally, for me it is unthinkable not to. I think I have messed too much with "oneness" and from that perspective, it has indeed become a impossibility to not act in a manner of unconditional love. But yea, once in a while, I forget and suddenly find myself in the illusion again...but not for too long tho, but it happens every now and then. And perhaps that is the way it should be and anyway, it is pretty cool everytime one snap's out of it (the illusion) again heh he hehe he he, it's is kinda funny, I mean, loosing oneself happens so "automatically" and one doesn't even notice it until one snap's out of it again....and again, isn't this about awareness? How aware are we in our everyday life?

Do we recognise the "oneness" in everyone (and thing) on a 24/7 basis, or is it mostly when contemplating? Is this at all important? Does it make a difference to be aware in this illusion contruary to perceiving the illusion to be real?

And as always, I am speaking for myself, but this is what it seem's and feel's like....to me!

Be Blessed...and Be Good
Pasiel

Note to self: Practise makes perfect....or at least, so they say :)
