Conditionless

The development of love is very interesting to observe in oneself and others.  We start out very self centered but we know very little of loving ourselves, as children we seem to point all our love at our family, parents, siblings, etc.  we don't know why, it is just there and it is usually everything to us.  Then when a certain spark hits the heart and mind our love becomes interested in someone outside our family, and it feels different because it is outside.  Family love would break our hearts when we felt disappointed by a parent, or we would be devastated by the death of a grand parent, but we are still focused on ourselves and our own satisfaction.  The love for the outsider mingled with the twinge of desire becomes focused, often to point where we do as much as we can to make them happy, and we hope the same is done in return.  For many of us there is still a self centered aspect of this early love and we do not always step beyond this point; at this level our love can be possessive and have conditions that need to be met for our love to be given.  This is the love of war, angry divorce, jealous rage and many more negative ends when it's needs are not met.  To surpass this love, one need look no further than their own heart and mind.  Looking back, from our self centered youth to our self fulfilling love for another, we can come to see where we may have gone off course with love.  The next step in love must be accepting and forgiving everything, and that love starts inside you.  You must review who you are, your good points and your faults, and you must find a way to love yourself with it all sitting there inside you.  
You have been this person your whole life, you have protected yourself and done work to keep your body alive through it all.  Now look at what your work has brought forth, accept it and decide if any changes should be made.  Love what you have been, what you are now, and if you decide changes are in order, then love the possibilities that lie before you.  Know that your entire self is worthy of love, despite anything that you may think is too horrible, degenerate or loathsome; it all has come together to give you this moment of review and acknowledgement.  When you can move in love with your full self you can then see the outside more clearly and be more understanding of those you love throughout your entire life.  I say love throughout your entire life because love is timeless and does not care about space, it stretches backwards as easily as it moves forward, let it reach in all directions.  You will start to see where love was given that you may have never recognized before, and you will be more accepting of future love coming in because it will be just a portion of what you already feel for yourself.  
Love coming into our hearts can be confusing when we do not love and cherish our own being first.  True love is first realizing that we can accept love from outside as openly as we have learned to accept it from inside.  This love when fully embraced will often open the heart to the greatest love available to any form, the love that is already being shared between you as soul and God.  It is a love which is completely without judgement, rules, requirements to be met or standards; it is a love that is just there because it is.  If you can recognize all your faults, all your qualities and still know that there is love pouring like a waterfall of light into you, then you can easily know how to send that love back.  Sending out a love that is just loving, not wanting anything in return; a love that moves out of you just for the sake of letting your heart do what it wants to do naturally, love without condition.  That is when all the love around you can be seen as a portion of the love that you are sending out and receiving forever, and it can be seen as a movement in a great love affair between you the flesh and soul and God.  
When you can love yourself without selfishness standing between you and the expression of that love.  When you realize there is an eternal love always pouring into you, without any requirements or judgement.  When you want to send love back to everything through to the source of your existence; that is when you can know the peace of being and accepting actions of others around you without letting them overturn your being as they develop their understanding of love.  You are your own source of all love and you are worth all the love you send and receive.  
Be eternal, be love without condition, be wonderful.
Love,

PEACE
