Conditional Love vs. Unconditional Love

  1. Conditional Love vs. Unconditional Love

    When we think of love we often think of a relationship between two people or we think of our families or even sometimes, a television show we “love.” I want to make clear what I am trying to differentiate. We, at our purest state, are not about relationship love or “love” we have created and defined collectively. (conditional love) We are about something that is infinite, something that is creation and pure, in our purest form we are unconditional love.

    When we think of words and there objective, we think of a means of communicating thoughts, feelings and actions to one another in different mediums. It’s important to remember words often cover up the mystery of TRULY what a thought, feeling, action or object really is. To go further, we can also create a collective belief or understanding about a word that may not necessarily be its true meaning.

    To understand this further we can talk about conditional love and the ego. We are souls, coming to this planet in physical form to live out a physical experience so as to gain more experience on a soul level. The soul acts as a recorder of experiences and the physicality is merely the vehicle in which we experience. We come here with our higher selves/guide and an ego, since the human experience involves the ego. The ego is important in understanding conditional love vs. unconditional love because the ego is the “suffering child” of our experience, this will make sense as we go.

    We live in a world where we are told and conditioned to believe certain concepts and are lead to the emotion of fear should we decide to think differently than the masses. While this is all in complete perfection, there is still a creeping curiosity to ask “why?” about certain things we hear. It has been created collectively that we, as humans, look externally for love. We are constantly looking for “the one” the certain someone who’s going to be a “soul mate.” This idea has been created through many mediums but one very obvious one is Hollywood. We see the man who meets the woman and they get swept away by “love” and then half way through the movie there is a conflict. Then in the end they fix the situation and we have a very romantic mushy ending! Sound familiar at all? For woman, this has created a constant external search for fairy tale romance and for men we have a belief system that says “men are macho.” This leads men to feel embarrassed and to generally be less expressive beings when it comes to love. How about a relationship that is hot and heavy for 6 months and then somehow dies off? We were in “love” for 6 straight months then it died off? It is important to understand these are all concepts and beliefs of the ego state of consciousness, “the suffering child” The ego is not the true self. The ego is trying to feed itself to gain an identity and will find any slippery way of achieving this. It is the voice in the head that experiences, fear, judgment, hate, etc. It is the reason why when someone judges us there is offense taken and a need to strike back is created.

    Our collective definition for what “love” is is simply conditional love. We love on conditions. Example: If a parent asks the child to clean there room and the child does it they reward them, if the child does not, they get punished. This is rewarding based on condition. This is the same way we love in our society. Instead of loving others for exactly who they are, LOVE; we create conditions for when we will love someone.

    As we have been taught, we look to receive love as opposed to experiencing it within. Remember at our purest state we are all love. To understand how we can experience the unconditional love that we are we must first understand what unconditional love is. We’ll call it love for now. Quantum Physics - Love is an energy, like we are. We are experiencing this three dimensional experience as physical beings which are energy. In order to experience 3D our energy must be slowed down and somewhat dense. As dimensions ascend, vibrations get higher. There is essentially a limit to what vibrations can be perceived sensorially in 3D – our experience. We must understand Love is of the highest vibration. For us, we cannot sense this vibration easily and therefore we have made this love physical. We have done this in two ways. One by trying to perceive how love makes us feel using our 5 senses; and two, which stems from one, we have created “GOD” which has a physical or somewhat physical form so we can perceive this so called creator and higher entity. But remember that we said we are all unconditional love, and at it makes us high vibrating beings. We have veils and false perceptions, baggage if you will, that hide this light and high vibration that is our essence. We are in essence god, we are creators and we are true unconditional love. With these veils of false perception removed you can experience a feeling of unconditional love like nothing you’ve experienced before. You must experience conditional love to know unconditional love, this we have accomplished. Now we can choose to clear and see the beauty of unconditional love.

    Just remember, when the word “love” is used, ask yourself: what type of love are we talking about? Is this of ego consciousness or is it love in its unconditional form? You will be surprised to see that it’s mostly lust; sometimes “love” but very little is it unconditional love. Enjoy your experience.

    In a certain sense, very interesting. It's not talked about much, but many 'meta-cognitive' types come to the same conclusion as you did. It is, in all practice, a nearly impossible task to define 'love' or even actualize 'love' in a pure sense. It is a very recent idea actually that there is only one pure form of love however. Peoples of long ago would define all sorts of constructive attachments - as opposed to addictions - as love. The Greeks have a basic five versions model. In less industrialized cultures and times, men and women who would normally be paid for ...um....'discrete services'.... would often work in temples of physical love. The preisthood of Venus is an example.

    Personally, I think the idea of attachment (addiction etc.) in the Buddhist sense is why many people have a hard time defining what true love is.

    Please write more - your thoughts are interesting...:)
