We talk about this concept of unconditional when it comes to love. But that is crazy, as love is our true self, essence, and soulful state of being. Our soul is pure love.
The idea that there is a need to define it as unconditional is the same as when we say ‘I like animals’ as if that is something special. Why wouldn’t you like animals!!! Or ‘I really like children’…again WTF, why wouldn’t you like children??? It isn’t something special it is default innate behaviour.
The same with love, there isn’t conditional love, that’s just mind-created manipulation. To take ‘love’ away as a punishment is all part of our unconscious mind-driven behaviour patterns. It is not understanding what love is. Need infatuation and attention seeking from others is not love. Lustful desires are not love.
Love isn’t an emotion it is our essence of what we are and can’t be taken away. If you want to see love, spend time with a dog. They show you love no matter what and it is not for gain it is their default soulful behaviour, well maybe they’re after a biscuit sometimes!
