Pure Love

What is pure love. It’s an unconditional love. Conditioning comes from negative human qualities like ego, lust, selfishness, non caring, jealousy, and so on. When one is able to have all positive human qualities like egoless selfless etc then every thought and action will be filled with unconditional love which is basically a sum of all positive human qualities

Alternatively we can consider unconditional love to be a quality of the Soul or Consciousness.

This unconditional love is naturally ever-present but is blocked by identification with the limitations of personality.

The spiritual journey is the process of letting go of personality identification and identifying instead with Consciousness, thus creating a Soul-infused personality through which unconditional love can express itself.

Peace

'Unconditional' is the condition where there are no conditions, yes it's paradoxical but there you are. It happens when there is only love itself and there are no 'qualifiers' such as 'positive' and 'qualities'.

An attachment isn't actually love, it's a mental health condition - but not like the ones you see in the movies. It's a dependency in the 'guise' of love.

I watch movies and have worked in mental health, and have been in the places they depict. 'Unconditional' is a condition, and love doesn't have attachments - people have attachments.

I do see where ur coming from, but the thing is… is it unconditional love if you have to get rid of things first? How can you unconditionally love yourself, even if your jealous or angry? How can you open your heart to yourself when your ego speaks or is hurt? I do believe loving yourself unconditionally is important, not only others.

Kind regards,

CW
