Module 3: Emotions

“We don’t take action to get results. We take action because of how we think we will feel when we have the result.”

Unconditional Love
Unconditional love is an amazing thing.
It means you can love anyone, at any time, no matter what they do.
It makes our lives easier, better, and gets us fantastic results.

Love feels good.
If given a choice, most of us would choose to feel love towards someone over any other emotion and many of us desire to be loved by other people.
Yet, most of us don’t consciously choose to feel love.
Instead, we  choose to feel disappointment, anger, or frustration.
We create our own emotions with our cognition, this you know from the Universal Truth.
No one else feels our emotions except us.
When we feel angry, ONLY we feel anger.
Not the person we are angry at.
You can be angry at someone and they might not even know it.
You might act in an angry way towards them and they will see that and think something about it.
But they won’t FEEL your anger.
They will only feel angry if they think an angry thought.

Love is the same – as are all emotions.
When you feel loves TOWARDS someone you are the ONLY ONE that feels the love.
The other person doesn’t feel your love.
You might act in a loving way and they might think it means you love them and then they will feel their own love, but they don’t feel YOUR love.
Just like anger, hate, and every other emotion, you can love someone without them knowing it and you are the only person that gets to feel this amazing emotion.

Unconditional love is something you do FOR YOURSELF.
You love people unconditionally because love feels great!
You can use another person as an object of your thinking.
You can say, “This is the person I am choosing to love”.
However, you are going to be the person that gets to feel that love.

Isn’t that great!

Wait, there’s more!

Not only can you choose to love this person, you can choose to love that one too!
And that one.
And this other one!
And you can love them no matter what they do.
That’s Unconditional Love.

You are given this gift – to love in spite of neutral circumstances.
To love based on your thoughts alone.
To love because it feels amazing in your body.
To love because of the actions it drives.
To love because of the results it creates.
Unconditional Love – it really is the best.

Watch the video below for a fuller explanation of Unconditional Love, how and why to choose it for yourself, your own lovability, and what it does for the results in your life.

Self-Study Assignment for Module 3, Day 4

In your notebook, do a thought download every day this week. For this week, start with a specific circumstance to do your thought download on. It can be anything that is a circumstance – it must be neutral and objective. It can be what someone said or did, something that happened in the past, or something that is happening now (it’s raining outside or your current body weight). Do a model for two of the thoughts in your download.

In your notebook, choose TWO people and and answer the questions for each:

Choose TWO people in your life.
Answer the following questions for each of them.
Answer the question for one person at a time.

Think of someone who is challenging to love.
Write down all the reasons you find this person hard to love.
What are your thoughts about this person that prevent you from loving them more?
What conditions/restrictions have you put on loving this person?
What do they ‘need’ to do for you to choose to love them?
What emotion do you feel when you have chosen not to love this person?
What would it be like to love this person without conditions?

List a specific example in which this person does or did something you don’t like.
What would it take and be like to choose to love them in this moment?
How would your actions have been different?
How would your results in that moment been different?

How is unconditional love different from love?
How does it serve you?
Is there ever a time when love is not a good choice?
