What is Unconditional Love?

What is unconditional love?
This all may sound strange, to think that an emotion is actually the energy of the universe.
When we think about an emotion like love, we do know the power of love, like romantic love.
We know the power of family love.
We know what it does to our hearts.
We know what it does to our minds.
We know it can make you crazy.
IT can drive you over the edge.
IT can make you feel joy beyond what you think you can even handle.
IT can make you feel pain beyond the depths of despair, right?
Why would it be inconceivable that it would be the energy of the universe? 
Unconditional love is the energy of our souls.
IT is the driving force of the God of the universe.
IT is the creator energy.
IT is the manifestation power; Unconditional Love.

Soooooo What IS Unconditional Love?
What is Unconditional Love? 
Unconditional Love Is Love without conditions. Simple, right? 
​Love without conditions. (this doesn't mean no boundaries)
When we think of love, we do think of romantic love; we do think of the type of love we have for a family. Unfortunately, that does tend to come with strings, especially romantic love. 
I will love you if you are nice to me. 
I will love you if you treat me with respect. 
I will love you if you don't cheat on me. 
I will love you if you don't lie to me. 
I will love you if you are nice to me. 
I will love you if you are related to me. 
I will love you if you have the same blood as me. 
I will love you if you bring me flowers. 
I will love you if you bring stuffing to our Thanksgiving. 
I will love you if you buy me a Transformer for Christmas, Mommy. 
That's love with conditions. 
When it's our blood family, usually those conditions go out the window. We don't necessarily stick with those conditions. The love we have for our blood family is closer to unconditional love than many of us will have for anyone else. We tend to accept our family as they are, even if it makes us crazy! 

What is the point of this life?
The goal of living a human life, the goal of being on this planet, the goal, the true goal of spirituality is to live everyday and every moment in Unconditional Love for all people, and all things, at all times.
This is a very difficult state to achieve.
It is not an easy thing.
Of course, you look at people like the Dalai Lama; you look at people like the Pope; you look at people like Gandhi; looking people throughout history who have tried to achieve these things.
It does take years of study and years of attention.
Sometimes it takes people who are doing only spiritual study, years and years of focusing only on the study of unconditional love to achieve anything, anywhere near that state.
However, you may also know someone in your life, right now, who is able to do that; who just doesn't seem to be fazed by life; who always seems to be happy and content with their lot in life.
Maybe think about that little old lady in church...
She always just seems happy, singing about the Lord and baking her cookies, helping all the neighborhood kids and patting them on the head. She never has a mean word to say about anyone; so happy to be 82 years old and still kicking.
It took her 82 years to get to that point; just being happy and grateful and smiling, but she got there and you can too!
And it won’t take you 82 years!!
