There Is No Such Thing As Conditional Love

Love itself is unconditional by its very nature. It just loves. What else can love do?

Love itself doesn’t hold back. It doesn’t fear. Holding back holds back. Fear fears. Love simply loves.

“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.”

-Rumi

For those of you familiar with author David Hawkins, he speaks of progressive levels of consciousness that one can evolve through. Towards the higher end of the spectrum, beyond guilt and shame, one can open up to the flowering of love itself.

At first this love that is experienced may seem conditional. For instance, maybe you only love the people you approve of. Maybe you only love your friends and family. Maybe you only love “your type” of people. Maybe you only love these people in certain situations and under particular contexts and not others. In this sense, we could say that this love is experienced conditionally.

Yet experiencing love conditionally does not mean that love itself is conditional. For those of you who are looking to become unconditionally loving, let’s take a closer look at this.

Love Is

If we think of Love as electricity flowing through our presence, it wouldn’t be accurate to say that the electricity itself is conditional. Rather, we impose conditions on when we allow the electricity to flow through us or not. It’s like there’s a light switch that goes from resist to allow, with many gradations in between.

When electricity flows, “unconditional” electricity flows to the degree that the conditional light switch allows it.

Your job is not to trade conditional electricity for unconditional electricity, for electricity is just electricity.

It would be silly for a light switch to look for unconditional electricity. It already has it. It simply has to stay open.

Similarly, your job is not to jump from one thing called conditional love to another totally separate thing called unconditional love. Rather, notice whatever resistances you have and conditions you have put in place that limit the amount of love that flows through you and let them go.

Love is Love.

The Unconditional Love that we seek is already here.

Unconditional Love is experienced simply by opening to it and allowing it to express itself in the moment.

You Are Truly Loved…
