Thoughts on Unconditional Love
From the Book of Spirit
A few years ago I turned my attention to the idea of love. But not in the cinematic sense of the word, more the spiritual idea of it.
I learned that love is not only when two people fall for each other. It’s better described by the idea of surrendering to the situation.
To accept what is. Not what you want it to be.
We are taught separateness. We learn how we’re different from each other at an early age, and many people in our lives try to reinforce that idea over time.
Unconditional love by contrast emphasizes a sense of oneness. In this state we become a drop in the ocean.
Fear breaks love down. It is our job as creative people to keep that loving energy flowing in all our acts of service.
To not be fixated on how other people are doing better than you or seem to be gifted with a talent that you can’t seem to access.
To not be worried that every time you sit down to write that nothing good will come of it.
In unconditional love we are willing to sit with the problem. We exercise patience. If we only have a few minutes each day for our most creative work, we appreciate that today we took 15 minutes to chip away at it, and we’ll try again the next day.
Sometimes I worry that this isn’t what people want to read, but by tapping into unconditional love I know that there are people out there who needed this at just this exact moment, and I accept and nurture the intuition that I was given to write it.
For more on this idea, a good book to check out is A Return To Love by Marianne Williamson (1976)
