Unconditional

Posted on by philipdodson

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!

Observing

Posted on by philipdodson

Our ‘normal’ state as humans is a mind-filled unconscious state where we are not aware of the moment and are consumed by thoughts of the past and future, which is where the thinking mind spends all its time. We are stuck in the box of content that is the time-bound mind-created thing we see as our life.

We are concentrated on what is next or what has occurred and not consciously in the moment of what is actually happening now. It is not a state of observation, reflection, calm, joy or peace. It is a state of constant turmoil and suffering. We are in a fear-based operating system that affects our mental and physical state. We are on edge, anxious and in a constant adrenalin-fuelled condition of flight, fight or freeze.

If we change our state and observe our thoughts instead of energising and becoming them, we move from flight, fight, and freeze to calm and inner peace. We move into a conscious state of being rather than an unconscious state of thinking. We close the lid of the box of content.

Our true self is not our mind, it is the observer and when we become the observer then our true essence, which is us and is always there, has space to be. We create space for soulful creation to take place instead of no space other than constant thought.

When we become the observer, we are connected with our heart and soul, with our creative essence and love which enables us to be ourselves. When we are the thinker then we become connected to fear.
