What do you wish others were more comfortable with?
Loving Unconditionally
I've heard it discussed online and offline that only
dogs have the capacity to Love Unconditionally
I don't buy this for a second
I KNOW that humans also have the capacity
to Love Unconditionally
I continue to notice that fear based topics
get more attention than topics about LOVE
I am rather perplexed why so many are
afraid of expressing Unconditional Love
(even I have my moments)
It's the key to end ALL suffering
and yet many of us continue to resist
unlocking the door to our hearts for ALL. :-)

an absolutely one-derful topic of conversation!
The key to end all suffering… good thought for the day for myself to take into it. You hear so much about how attachment is the key to suffering. Then perhaps to get out of that instead of turning to unattach, move into love. Like not pushing against but just becoming Love.
Have a beautiful day today Lisha. x
Perhaps we do have the capacity but very few can even fathom what that word really entails..The big UN-what ever word..excellent place to expand on this one-derful topic, Lisha.
I believe on what you say particaly, in part of human beings are capable to love with no conditions. IF they choose to. Now-a-days, its rare and you have to look hard for some kind of love that is true. God to me is what gives me the uttermost unconditional love and a good lesson(s) of what and the journeys of love. That is my view.
Your thoughts are wondrous! and it great to see this topic of unconditional love discussed or at this point brought forth for discussion.
So I ask what is unconditional Love, how are we do know that we are giving it, and Being it? What does it feel like, look like, what are its actions?
It is not only matter of not enough discussion… it is matter of not enough Being…
I am Love, Jeff
Excellent topic and very appropriate at the present time. How to get there?
It will help to keep the Ego in check, be non judgemental, you will be able to get in touch with someones' soul by looking people in the eyes.
We should act more conscious when dealing with another, regardless if we are just buying a news paper or meeting someone for business.
It does take some getting used to and training of the mind, but well worth it.
When BEING unconditional Love, one will feel the response from strangers as well sometimes.
It is a wonderful topic…
dogs respond to food, love, pain and comfort…these are conditions too.
We humans basically respond to the same.. gravitating towards what brings us joy rather than pain.
But Love is our natural state….we were born with this purity, but over time, we have been conditioned, so we tend to 'love' less when there is pain, when there is fear, when there is anger. So when this happens, we need to remember to bring more light into this part of ourselves, by nurturing it, by honoring it with more love, to step outside, take a risk and just love more. Because even pain and fear can teach us great love.
Hi there,
I on to put together my profile but since the topic is what's on my heart I have to comment. I try practice unconditional and the results are always curious. My experience is most feel whats familar …..So often what's familar is painful not always better.
I feel more people don't embrace unconditional love because they don't know how. I just sent out a blog about this the other day.
http://www.mindful-living-sf.blogspot.com and I used the same photo.
So unconditional love is a challenge and I wont stop trying and remaining open to the possiblities of a more loving world .
As the Gandhi Quote states BE THE CHANGE YOU WISH TO SEE IN THE WORLD..
Thank you for creating this blog and topic.
Love and Light, Mark
WoW! such lovely responses!
This can definitely spark quite the conversations and deserves to be expanded on. In fact so many on this planet are helping to re-mind us what Unconditional Love truly is and how to let go of “old programming” so you can live from this place fully.
Ohmsmom,
Thank you for shining your light here!
Di,
We ARE Love no matter how much we push against it. This is a fact we simply cannot change even if we tried and many of us have. LOL I love how you've described the transition to moving into Love.
FastDart,
No matter what we've said or done ALL is forgiven if we would simply remember this we would all put down our defenses and stop allowing “feelings” of blame, shame, and guilt to be a part of our experience(s).
Rugged_Gurl1,
I love how you say we're all capable if we choose to. That's what is so cool about it we can “choose” to Love Unconditionally regardless of what someone else is choosing. We can choose to stand up for what we believe in and help in a HUGE way to shift mass consciousness simply by moving into the heart and “letting go” of old ways of thinking that haven't serve us for a very long time.
Jeff,
I love your enthusiasm! Here's one of the first messages I recieved from my guides which is perfect for this discussion. When we are truly coming from a place of Unconditional Love it can be “felt” not only within our selves,but others can also feel it. There's an expansion happening within us instead of a contraction. Our need to be “right” disappears. There is so much that one can say about this,but cultivating the experience first hand and expanding THAT now that's truly something word DOing and BEing indeed!
Bateleur,
We are already there. It's just a matter of “dropping” what doesn't belong. The beliefs and ideas that we've created along the way to experience seperation. It takes a lot of work to resist what we truly are which IS Unconditional Love. Yes, dropping all your defenses and gazing into the eyes of another will take you directly to ONEness. I've been in a group with others where we did this exercise and the Unconditional Love flowed through and lit up the room.
Liza,
Thank You for sharing your beautiful ways to Expand the Love even when we “feel” as if it has left us. It is always there,but we must call on it to come out of hiding and heal every area of our being that needs healing. Be it our mental,emotional,physical,or spiritual body.
Mmp,
Thank you for stopping by to open up about your experience with Unconditional Love. I enjoyed your blog and how delightful that we used the same photo! :-)
I would like to encourage you to not see it as a challenge anymore. It truly does involve a lot of self honesty and allowing those old beliefs to surface so we can “release” them.
To stop raking ourselves over the coals and allow and be open to receive more Love into our lives. As we do this more loving situations will manifest into our lives. This is how we measure where we are on our journey by the reflections that transpire into the outer world to be a part of our experience.
Thank You Everyone for shining your Light and Daring to be who you really are as you go out into this physical world and re-mind others that they too are Unconditional Love. :-)
I just created a sacred space for us to dive deeper into our discussion of Unconditional Love :-)
Come check it out and contribute so we can all learn, heal, and grow together!

Everyone is free to continue contributing to this conversation. My intentions weren't to kill this thread when I also created a pod. :-)
I FINALLY got quite a few response to a blog about Love and now you've all left. Isn't that ironic?!? LOL
There's 21 members on the pod now so I definitely look forward to lots of Expansion on Unconditional Love.
I always believed in unconditional love, I certainly knew it the first time they put my daughter in my arms. I do not understand NOT experiencing unconditional love for your children, but, of course, my experience is my own and we all are different. I often think how lovely my life would be if I felt that utterly unconditional love for everyone and everything. I don't know how to get there. I can love, but I am not able to reach the completely unqualified, absolute, everlasting, whole-souled love that I feel for my children.
A fascinating topic. I have had many people tell me they don't even feel this way about their children, saying things like, “If he killed someone or did something horrible I wouldn't love him any more,.” I CANNOT even get my head around that. I look forward to reading other's thoughts.
Dryad,
I think most of us have had “glimpses” of Unconditional Love, which is why we strive to love and be loved.
I don't know how to get there. I can love, but I am not able to reach the completely unqualified, absolute, everlasting, whole-souled love that I feel for my children.
You are aware that at this present time you are not there yet ,but your children have been added to your experience to remind you that you ARE capable of Loving Unconditionally. You have made a conscious decision to love them Unconditionally because as you have come to realize on your journey not all parents choose this.
Yes, we are very good at placing conditions on love.
I love you as long as…
or a real biggie
If you loved me…
Often times we do this unconsciously. The parents that are choosing the thoughts you've stated are doing a great disservice to themselves and their children. Especially if the relationship is not so good because they are sending those thoughts to the children. If you don't want me to love you anymore then go out into the world and do this.
In the end it is what it is and until we can truly forgive we cannot love.
I know you are quite busy on other pods,but if you feel inclined to Expand on Unconditional Love. Do join us!

It is a great start Lisha…………….
Acceptance & Forgiveness are the key & the courage and consideration required because we are in charge of it………….
“The consciousness in you and the consciousness in me, apparently two, really one, seek unity and that is love. ”

Thanks & Love to all Again
Namaste to all
Shaily,
Thank you for your lovely contribution to this blog!
“because we are in charge of it”
Yes, we do have a “choice” to go to the heart and forgive and accept ALL.
That's a beautiful quote thank you for sharing it. :-)
Let's help one another Expand!
One Love, One Heart
