Unconditional Love & Irrational Fear
WE ARE LOVE
At our very essence, we are Love. We are made in Love, we are operating from Love, and all of creation is an example of Love.
When you align yourself with who you truly are, all you will see, feel, think, hear, taste, and smell is Love. This is the end of our evolutionary journey in this form. If we don’t experience that through the choices we make in this life, we experience it upon the completion of this Life.
The goal of this Life is to continue to align ourselves with our Truth. The closer we get to that, the more we feel love, the less we feel fear, the more we connect with others, and the more we become the best versions of ourselves.
That being said, I am going to talk about the EMOTION of Love – not the One Cause behind all of Creation.
(We get deeper into that in the Academy.)
UNCONDITIONAL LOVE
I cannot begin to tell you how important and transformational the concept of unconditional love can be.
Most people think that unconditional love requires sacrifice and should only be expected of saints. This does a HUGE disservice to understanding and feeling the emotional of Love. I will teach you that unconditional love is a gift you give to yourself and other people, as well as the world of abundance.
Unconditional love is for YOU and it makes your life easier, not harder.
Love feels good. If given a choice, most of us would choose to feel love toward someone over any other emotion, yet most of us don’t consciously choose to feel love. Instead, we choose to feel disappointment, anger, or frustration. We have expectations of people and ourselves and when they or we don’t meet those expectations, we use that as an excuse to feel bad. This makes no sense. We create rules that set us up to feel negative emotion instead of feeling something wonderful.
Every time you dislike someone or something, you are choosing to feel dislike. Dislike doesn’t feel good. It’s not a wise choice—it’s a painful choice—but we pretend it isn’t a choice at all. We act as though we don’t have any control over how we feel toward someone else and that their actions control how we feel. This isn’t how life works. Ever.
Remember, your thoughts about others’ actions will determine how you feel, and when you choose negative thoughts, you will then feel negative emotions. You can feel good whenever you want because love is an emotion you choose for yourself.
Other people don’t determine how you feel (you are feeling the thoughts you believe) and you don’t make other people feel anything – they are choosing how they want to feel with their own thinking. It’s always so funny to watch someone be so mad, get so angry, do and say such hateful things. . .about another human that ISN’T EVEN THERE!! I’m beside myself about it because this person is suffering so deeply and feeling such horrible emotions for no reason. The person they are mad at is off somewhere else – they don’t even know this guy was at them. The didn’t feel any of that hate – just the person feeling it did. He was the one suffering. Hating someone and thinking they are one that is suffering is like drinking poison believe the other person is going to die. Once again, this makes no sense.
Love, on the other hand, feels awesome!! Yet we are always holding love back. Why? What would be the reason not to feel love? Certainly, all emotions are available to us at all times – and sometimes, we want to feel a variety of different things. However, if there is one emotion I would want to feel DAILY, it would be love.
The best part about emotional ownership is that you learn to create your feeling based on how you think. Having something that you can think about that create love is amazing. Truly. It’s like living in Heaven. And this is possible to you, right now!
Unconditional Love just means you love someone for who they are and allow them to be that way unconditionally. You don’t try to control or change the other person – they are absolutely perfect. Even the things you don’t like about them seem like functions of individuality and, like a slight-of-hand, they become more objects of affection. This person is exactly as they are meant to be. When they are suffering due to their thinking, it’s ok. It’s ok that they suffer sometimes, that is a part of being perfect too. Just keep loving them for being that way; sad, angry, despondent, afraid. It’s 100% perfect, exactly as it is. This is unconditional love – love them for who they are because they are perfect. Even when they do things that aren’t perfect, they are still perfect. They are perfect, just like you. BECAUSE IT IS YOU! It’s ALWAYS you. Love yourself, and you will love the world. No conditions. Just as you are, right now, and always. At all times.
Love is ALWAYS a choice.
Why not make it the FIRST choice?
IRRATIONAL FEAR
So, we have brains. Yeah, brains. And these brains are there to keep the body alive, internally and externally. They do a good job – as long as they are directed.
There is a part of your brain that was developed early on and is responsible for being on the look-out for danger in the external environment. It is acute to flashing lights or sudden movements, things that seem out of place, sounds that don’t fit the surroundings or are suddenly approaching – I mean, it’s constantly searching for danger. Once it finds that danger, it goes to work SCREAMING IN YOUR BRAIN – DANGER DANGER DANGER – then is releases the emotion of fear into the body (remember, this is a neurotransmitter – actually a combination) and fear attaches to the cells and starts a vibration that creates an experience and a physiological response.
Now, this part of the brain was needed when we were in a very hostile environment – a hostile planet when we weren’t the top of the food chain and we didn’t have technology, or even written language. We needed this instinct to stay alive and you know what, those humans that listened to that instinct are the ones that survived and passed on the conditioning; genetically and psychologically.
Fast forward 10,000 years and we have iPhones. I mention the iPhone for two reasons; first because it is the symbol of 21st century technology. The ability to hold a computer in the palm of your hand and have access to the internet – a storage of the world’s information. Truly amazing how humans have conquered not just other animals and each other, but the planet herself. The second reason I mention the iPhone is it has taken the place of the primordial predator.
There is literally NOTHING to fear as 21st century humans. NOTHING at all – anywhere. Yes, there is war and conflict, kidnapping and armed robbery, hunger and poverty. I am not saying there aren’t things we want to change in the world – what I am saying is that there is nothing we can learn from fear. Humans are FINISHED WITH FEAR. In fact, fear is the Cause (thought) that CREATES all the war, conflict, kidnapping, armed robbery, hunger, and poverty! When we transcend fear, we no longer demonstrate the Effects of Fear.
So what is rational fear vs. irrational fear?
Well, it depends on your level of consciousness.
It’s not for me to say, it’s for you to decide.
