Unconditional Love - L,L,&L W/ Glenn Ambrose

In this episode, I dive into unconditional love. What is it, why is it important, and how can we practice it? The foundation of our existence is unconditional love, so for us to live a meaningful life, we must cultivate it, experience it, and live it to the best of our ability.

Welcome to Life, Lessons & Laughter with your host, Glenn Ambrose. Hello, Everybody, Hello, Welcome, Welcome, Welcome. So today, Today I'm going to talk about, I think what is really our spiritual goal, Which is unconditional love. You know, I think, You know, I always like looking at the big picture and then kind of using that to zoom in on what I need to be doing in my daily life. So you know, This, This, As the spiritual shift picks up speed, I think it's, It serves us well to do that, To kind of, Because we're constantly changing, Right? So it's helpful to every once in a while just take a step back and go, Okay, Where am I? Where am I going? How am I doing on the path? You know, That type of thing. And of course, You know, Working with a life coach can be helpful in that area too, Because sometimes we have difficulty identifying all that ourselves, But, But when I, When I've done that recently, It's the, As the spiritual shift moves forward, Our spiritual journey needs to move forward. Our concepts are getting more grand, More, It's, It, It's more God-like. I mean, That, That was the, I kind of laughed a little because that's what was coming through. It's, It's where we're becoming more like God. That's kind of our goal, Right? So what does that look like? I mean, Yeah. Okay. We're going to become like God, Like, You know, That, That's a, That's a pretty big goal. Right. Right. So, I mean, But we can simplify it and we can bring it in, Into our life in particular ways. Yeah, I was, I was just thinking about something that, That came through like last week as well is, Is these concepts that we have and, And, You know, How big they can be, But how simple they are in spirituality, You know, And I think that there, There can be a confusion between things that are complicated and things that are, Ah, I don't know if I'm going to think of the other word, But I had it really narrowed down well, Like last week, But things that are complicated imply that, That they're different. I'll take, See if I can find that. I think I took a screenshot of something, Excuse me, Just getting over a cold by the way. So if you hear it in my voice, That's what's happening. Um, So I think a lot of times we, When we're thinking about big things, We think about that. Maybe they're, They're, They're too complicated and that's the beauty of spirituality. Oh, Here it is. Yeah. So it's beautiful. I found it. Uh, So what I was contemplating was the difference between complicated and complex. So complicated is difficulty, Intricacy, Or a lack of straightforwardness. The implication is that it requires extra effort or knowledge to understand or solve often due to the many interacting factors or a lack of a clear path to a solution. Okay. So that's complicated. Now pay attention to the difference between complicated and complex, Complex, Many parts or interconnected elements in the implication, Not necessarily difficult to understand or solve, But may require careful consideration of the individual components. Okay. So, So that's kind of spirituality can be complex. It's it can be interconnected, Um, Elements, But it's not necessarily difficult to understand or solve, But it may require careful consideration of the individual components, Right? That's very different than complicated. Complicated is difficulty, Lack of straightforwardness, That type of thing. So, And it can have a lack of a clear path to a solution. Right? So, So even though spirituality can be complex, It doesn't mean that it's complicated. So this is why we often say that, That, You know, It's, It's simple, But not easy, Right? Yeah. It's, It's because it's not complicated. So which is great because then we can figure it out. And this is kind of what I'm talking about in this instance. You know, We look at, Oh, I'm going to be, Well, You know, I want to be more God-like like, Huh? Like that, That's huge. And how would we go about that? What would that look like? You know, So to simplify it and bring it into ways that we can actually practice this is through unconditional love. You know, God is unconditional love. God is love, Right? And that's the foundational principle and energy of the entire universe is love. And what kind of love? Well, It's unconditional love. It's not conditional. It's not, If you do this, Then I love you. And if you don't, I don't love you. It's, I love you always. I'm always here. I'm always supporting you if you choose to open to it, But you have free will. And even the very concept of free will implies unconditional love because the reason we have free will is because of unconditional love. It's because you can't have unconditional love if there are conditions. And if there are conditions, Then another way to say that is stripping of free will because you can't do what you want. You can't do whatever you want. You have to meet the conditions necessary to achieve the love, Right? So the very fact that we have free will is proof that God is unconditional love. Because he's like, Hey, I love you no matter what. And you can choose to do whatever you want. Of course, There's natural consequences to your choices. But you can do whatever you want, You know? So that's the foundation of unconditional love. So for us to be more godlike, To find more joy, To experience more cohesiveness to life, More alignment to our nature and who we're supposed to be and who we want to be, It's how much can we embody and live in and through unconditional love, Right? So that's our big concept. It's a little bit more bite-sized than I'm going to become godlike, Right? We can wrap our brain around it better and go like, Okay, I'm going to try to live in unconditional love and be an example of unconditional love and bring unconditional love into this realm. Okay, That's a big enough challenge. You know, That's a big enough goal. So we need to bring that into our day-to-day activities. And I think the problem that we have with the unconditional love is that we think our preferences are really, Really important. You know, I've done a podcast on that before. Like, Well, I feel this is right. So? So be like that. But instead of us just being and living our lives the way we want to, As sovereign beings that we truly are, If we believe we are, If we believe that the government and other people have control over us, Then they do because we believe that they do. You know, And I mean, Don't get me wrong. I'm not at this place where I can just pretend that the government doesn't have any control over people. It really doesn't. And I understand that. And I understand that spiritually I can get myself to a place where I'm truly a sovereign being and the government will just start overlooking me or not paying attention to me or stuff like that with some of the things that they say that they need to or that they want to enforce upon society. I mean, I can embody it to some degree. There's lots of things that the government or. . . I don't want to harp on the government. It's society in general. There are lots of things that I just choose not to participate in because I don't really believe in it. And then I just live my life that way and I find out that whatever society's standards are don't get pushed upon me for some reason. For some reason, I just get overlooked in that particular area when I'm in a situation where other people are getting hit by this stuff. I'll just walk by and they'll, You know, Somebody will have to go to the bathroom by chance or something and I'll just walk right by and I don't get affected by it. You know, Weird stuff like that. So, I mean, That's a really cool, Amazing, True sovereign being mentality that we can actually work towards and embody. But, I mean, Right now I'm just talking about just living our day-to-day lives. Most things that affect us and drag us down don't have anything to do with us and they don't really impact us. You know, A lot of the things that society is getting upset about is that their perceived oppressor is not giving them the rights that they want to be who they want to be in lots of different ways. And it's, They can't, The government doesn't have the power to give you the life that you want. Like, Really, If you want to love yourself and be comfortable in your own skin and do what you want in your life and live your life the way that you want to, The government can't control that. They can't strip that away from you. Now, They could strip a legal aspect of it. You know, Like, So I'm just going to use this as an example. And I'm going to use, Like, Specifically gay marriage, But you can expand it to other topics around this area and you can expand it to any topic. It doesn't have to have to do with sexual preference or identification as who you are or anything like that. It doesn't have to apply to that. It's just a damn good example of this. So that's why I'm using it, Okay? Another example is Valentine's Day. Like, You don't have to celebrate Valentine's Day if you don't believe in Valentine's Day. Just don't celebrate it. You don't have to celebrate Christmas if you think it's a bad idea. You know, People get so upset. Maybe that's a better example. You know, Like, People get so upset. Like, Oh, My God, They. . . We can't say Merry Christmas. It's like, This is who? Well, Walmart changed their signs, So now we can't say Merry Christmas. What does Walmart changing their signs have to do with you? If you want to say Merry Christmas, Say Merry Christmas. If somebody gets offended, That's fine. Let them get offended. Who cares? You're just walking around trying to be nice in the way that aligns with you. Nobody can stop you from doing that. And we act like these external forces are, No, They're taking Christ out of Christmas. Like, How? Isn't Christ in your heart? How is somebody passing a law going to take Christ out of your heart? Yours. Don't worry about everybody else. Because they can't take Christ out of their heart either. But we give away our power and then we get upset that people don't do what we want them to do with it. It's like, Well, Then don't handle over your power. You know, So the other example I was going to use was like gay marriage. Like, There has been gay people on this planet since the beginning of time. So, Like, Now, I don't know. You know, I understand the oppression and all that stuff. You know, I get all that part. That's not the part that I'm talking about. Okay? The part that I'm talking about is the fact that, Like, If there have always been gay people, And there has, There have been gay people who lived a wonderful life filled with love before it became legal to have gay marriage. Okay, Well, Then how did they do this? Well, They lived the life that they wanted to live. They learned to love themselves. They found a partner that loved them. They created a life together and lived a wonderful life before it was legal. Just because, Like, We act like legal is the end-all, Be-all. You know? There's tons of laws that are on the books that are immoral and wrong. So, We're going to live by those? They're immoral and wrong. You know, There's, You know, Some of the examples, Well, I'm not even going to get into that, That aspect of it. My point is, Is that we need to find a way to live our lives the way that we want to live our lives and stop handing our power away over to larger things. You know, I understand that it's cool when things become legal and it feels like it's more acceptable and stuff. And that's great. And we can actually even keep working towards those things as a society and as individuals. I'm not saying that we should just abandon everything and nobody should have any rights and those who don't have rights just should, Tough crap, You don't have rights. I'm not saying that. We can still work towards a society that we want to have that's inclusive instead of exclusive and that is loving, Unconditionally loving. We can work towards that stuff, But don't put your life on hold. Don't put your love on hold until the government decides to agree with you and say, Yes, We will make it a law. No, Just live your life the way that you want to live your life anyway. And when the government once there's enough people doing that then the government will have no choice but to reflect that back in the laws. This is how change actually happens. This is why we need to stop focusing outside of ourselves. Just stop. We have so much control over our own happiness and what we're constantly doing is we're handing that away and that eye is leaking again a little bit. Hopefully I'm getting this fixed next week. We're handing away our power to governments and to authorities and to what other people think and we're handing our power and our happiness away and this is all like how are we going to find unconditional love if that's what we're doing, Right? How are we going to be how are we going to be beacons of unconditional love? How are we going to live a life experiencing unconditional love and expressing unconditional love when all our attention is just drawn outside of ourselves? That's why I kind of did this began the podcast this way is to lay the groundwork on what's pulling us out of all this. It's our us giving our power away and our attention away and getting all caught up in our preferences and what other people think and all this stuff and just let them. That's a big Mel Robbins I believe is her name has really good information out there and I think that her book is really popular right now and it's a wonderful thing. I mean we all teach the same stuff but she really simplified it and put it into a simple delivery that is resonating with a lot of people. Why? Because this is what we need to do. This is where we are in our spiritual shift. We have to let them. We have to let all these people and institutions that are dysfunctional. We think if we fight and argue with them and get angry enough that things are going to change and that's not what changes. Let them. Let's just be who we want to be and if I am who I want to be and you are who you want to be and then somebody else is who they want to be, That's how we're going to change the world and every time it seems it seems that whenever you try to give that message people go yeah but it's going to take 51% of people or it's going to take millions of people and they're not doing it so if they're not doing it why should I do it? And that's exactly what keeps everybody stuck. What keeps everybody stuck is everybody's concerned about what everybody else is doing and they're not so we have no control over what everybody else does. None. And that's where all our energy is going to what we can't control and unless we can see that 51% of the people are trying to be loving then I'm not going to be loving oh well that's a wonderful way of never becoming loving because you can't control what other people are doing and if everybody thought like you then nobody would ever do it because there is no starting point where 51% of the people are just doing it that starting point doesn't exist The way a shift exists the way it comes into being is by one person doing it and then two people and then three people and then 100 people and then 10, 000 and then a million one person at a time but we'll never get there if we're just pointing the finger at what other people aren't doing we have to stop and focus on ourselves there was some parable or story or something that I heard a while ago and it was this forest fire going on and this bird just kept going back and getting a beak filled with water and dropping it on the fire and a beak filled with water and dropping it on the fire and these other animals were like what are you doing you're never going to stop this fire from doing that and the bird was like well I'm not worried about stopping the fire I'm just trying to do my part so the bird wasn't attached to an outcome it wasn't going like unless I can see how this is going to play out and how it's going to work then why bother why waste my time doing the right thing do you understand what that that's really the key why waste my time doing the wrong thing I'm sorry doing the right thing why waste my time doing the right thing this is how we view it we go well I'm not going to waste my time becoming loving if 51% of the people aren't doing it how is becoming loving wasting your time I mean it sounds good on a meme but does that actually make sense have you actually thought about what that means that means that you're going to live your life not being love and then therefore experiencing more negativity more suffering hurting more people more people hurting you you're going to choose to live your life like that because 51% of the people aren't doing it and that's not a waste of time living your life suffering and causing suffering and receiving suffering is not a waste of time because everybody's doing it it's not a waste of time to become more loving I don't give a crap if 51% of the people are doing it or they're not it's not a waste of time it's very fulfilling just you that's how it works just you living a more fulfilling loving existence gives you a better life not becoming a doormat because that's another excuse that people use oh I'm very loving and kind and everybody craps on me that's not being loving and kind that's being a doormat that's two different things you can love is strong the strongest energy in the universe boundaries are aspects of love not enabling people to continue bad behavior is an act of love so love is not weak love does not get crapped on love does not mean you allowing yourself to be abused that's not what unconditional love is that's not what unconditional love is unconditional love in a situation like that where there's abuse says you know what I'm not going to allow your abuse but I love you I'm not going to allow your abuse because I love myself and I'm not going to allow you to abuse me because I love you because that's poor behavior and if I allow you to do it then that means that you're however you want to look at it you're creating negative karma you are people can't treat other people like crap and feel good about themselves and love themselves they can't run around hurting other people and love themselves they can't we are all one you can't hurt other people and expect to love yourself you can't do that now from an outside perspective does it seem like some people do that yeah it seems like it from an external perspective you know these people that just crap on other people and climb the corporate ladder and make hundreds of millions of dollars by stepping on other people and using them and everybody goes see they did it they don't love themselves well they seem pretty happy and they seem pretty confident in themselves yup they do and they're completely disconnected from who they truly are and they will suffer the consequences because nobody gets away with this nobody gets away with anything in the universe whatever you put out you're getting back and it could be in another lifetime it could be just going through life without ever knowing what love is true love it can play out in a lot of different ways you know it can play out in misery later on in life it can play out dying alone it can play out having no friends it can play out in a lot of different ways and usually it's a combination don't worry about don't worry about them don't look at their external and think that they're winning because they're not they're winning externally but they're not winning internally and that's really what we're doing those of us on the spiritual path if you haven't figured that out yet please figure it out soon because if you're going to compare yourself and be like oh well this person is really rich and powerful so they're better than me I'm just this loving example of unconditional love whoops nobody that reaches a level of unconditional love and really loves themselves looks outside at other people and goes that are externally successful and goes oh I wish I had what they had I would forfeit all this self love and all this unconditional love that I feel and express and experience on a daily basis I would flush that down the toilet in a minute if I could just have a million dollars nobody says that nobody living in love would ever trade that for money you know this is the concept of Jesus saying that when the man finds this treasure which is unconditional love he buried in a field he sells everything he has to buy that field this is the concept and it's not that we have to be poor that's not what I'm saying I'm just saying that unconditional love is worth more than all the money in the world and that's what we need to be focusing on and then as we experience that abundance is just a natural expression of unconditional love so we get the money too except we don't lose ourselves in the process if we chase money we can get money but if we chase love we can get love and the money you gotta think bigger peeps so it's unconditional love and what does that look like in our daily lives it looks at the people in the government sometimes understanding can help this like one of the things that I do with people in the government is I look at it and I go how did they get there it's easy to just judge their actions and I truly believe that let's say you have this idealistic kid that wants to help the world wants to help solve world problems and they decide that they're going to get into politics and they do and they get into a local race and they win and they probably do some good and then they start realizing it seems like there's this whole game set up and if I rub this person's back a little bit maybe give them a little bit of accolades or something then I get what I want and I can help all these people and wow that was cool and really no harm came of it and it really worked well then they get up into a state level and then the game gets upped and then a federal level and they find out that if they're going to now all of a sudden they're getting to a certain level getting to a particular office that they seek where maybe they still think that they can do real change make real change and do real good perhaps at some point I think that goes away well no no I shouldn't say that I think that they always think that they're doing good for the world I don't think that that goes away I think even people in the federal governments are really actually think that they're doing good in the world it's just little by little what happened is they started playing the game and they're like oh well I have to give this person that in order to get that and why should I suffer along the way I mean I should be able I'm doing wonderful things for the world so I should have millions of dollars so they take their millions of dollars and in all these different ways and they do all these make all these deals and all this stuff and what they do is they kind of lose track that at some point like taking care of people to try to get what you want the trade gets out of balance and at some point and I don't think we should ever do this because I don't believe that the ends ever justify the means I think the end is a result of the means we're not supposed to do wrong things to try to achieve something good that doesn't make sense there's no happy destination at the end of an unhappy road so like the whole philosophy is wrong but the philosophy is wrong in a lot of areas in life this is just the political philosophy so at some point what happens is they're making 51% trades and only doing 49% good and then at some point they're doing 75% trades and doing 25% good seemingly and when you're around that level really the bad outweighs the good and then you just live like that for hundreds of years and it's so out of balance at this point that really no I mean really when was last time a world problem got solved this is because we're not trying to solve world problems 75% of our energy is going towards making deals and making it seem like we care and all this stuff so my point is that their perception is that they're actually trying to help and this is the system and this is the only way it can be done and they buy into that belief system so when I understand that then I'm like oh okay they're not doing it to be malicious most of them are there are some that are trying to do it malicious but okay what about the ones doing it malicious things out there well you know to me it's and I won't get into every specific thing so I'm going to generalize like like Michael talks about this nobody's to blame for doing everything it doesn't mean that we don't hold people accountable it's just to understand their motivation in doing the wrong things right what's to blame is ignorance so the example that I just gave is ignorance they think that they have to do these things to to make a positive impact on the world that's ignorance that that's a wrong way of thinking it's not actually true right so it's the ignorance that is causing it not the person so people aren't to blame again do they still need to be held accountable absolutely so you know so people that like in a governmental sense when people are doing this they should be voted out you know by who well the people the people are supposed to be monitoring what's acceptable and what's not acceptable which we do not do we just let them do whatever they want to do and then we sit back and go oh my god I can't believe they did that it's like why they've been doing it for hundreds of years and they're just doing it to another degree now oh they're helping themselves oh my god they've been helping themselves all along you haven't said anything you haven't voted them out why would you think that they're going to change now right so but my point is is to just have a certain level of understanding about that people are doing these things because for some reason they think it's right it's ignorant it ain't right but for some reason in their head they're thinking that it is I mean even Hitler thought he was right he wasn't but he thought he was he thought he was doing a good thing so this is how people are just trying to do the right thing again does it mean we don't hold them accountable absolutely not we have to hold them accountable and we can't allow certain things to transpire in this world however that seems to be our main focus I'm going to go take care of them I'm going to go take care we're never going to change the world that way why? Because it's a perfect reflection of ourselves we're too concerned we're out there trying to do all of us are doing the same thing in our daily lives and I'll use myself as an example I am not 100% in the vibration of unconditional love so you know what I make mistakes sometimes I handle things poorly and you know what sometimes I handle something poorly and it affects somebody else that's in my life and you know what they're probably thinking when that happens geez Glenn seemed like a nice guy he does all this work on himself but he really hurt me I can't believe he did that this really hurts me he's then it probably flips into the judgment he must be a bad person I guess he's not who I thought he was blah blah blah blah blah and then they go down that road and I'm just another example of a bad person so now there are more bad people in the world I'm not a bad person but I'm not perfect I make mistakes just like everybody else is out there and you know what the more I focus on me and doing my work and becoming more loving and more unconditional loving the less I hurt other people and the happier that I am and the happier that they are and that's how change occurs but I can't control I can sit over here I could give you millions of examples of people doing the wrong thing and you know what I'm not going to fix any of them because they're not in my control only I'm in my control so if I focus me on on being the best version of me that I can be focus on unconditional love so I can look at these people and go you know what I see them doing the wrong thing that's ignorance they are a child of God just like I am a child of God you know like the way that I zoom back in and bring it into my real life is I picture my son right I love my son unconditionally perfectly unconditionally probably not because there are times where I can get upset and in the past that I've gotten upset it didn't mean I stopped loving him but I bet you there was a few times where it felt like that which was definitely not my implication but that's just reality but I love him unconditionally so like he could do my son could do the most unimaginable horrible act capable of man like the worst thing man ever did you know he could just go kill people randomly or something just horrible something that's extremely detrimental and I would not support him in his acts I would you know I don't know what I would do in those specifically for a specific action right and I don't need to do that but I don't need to go there but because that's not what I'm talking about and each situation is different so I'm not even gonna hypothesize what I might be doing but what I do know is that I would love him regardless would I agree with his actions? No would I support him in his actions and help him do them? Nope not if they're detrimental I'm not gonna help him do something detrimental that's enabling that ain't love right but would I stop loving him absolutely not he could never do anything to stop for me to stop loving him this is the love that God has for us God never stops loving us no matter what we do might not like some of the stuff we do might go oof there's a system in place where you put out bad you're gonna get hit with some bad so I'm not looking forward to seeing you suffer those consequences but I love you and I'm here for you and whenever you're ready to stop doing the negative things and turn to love my arms are gonna be wide open and that's what we can emulate that's what we can be that's the unconditional love that we can be it's just going hey I don't agree with that I don't agree with that person doing that thing but they're a child of God they have a pure soul inside of them and the fact that their ignorance their lack of understanding is making them do something that I disagree with I have to accept that I can't control them I can only control what I can control and I can control me and what I do and what I can do is I can love them I can look at them and say you know what there is good inside of them maybe they can't access it right now maybe they think that what they're doing is a good thing they obviously do otherwise they wouldn't be doing it but they probably think what they're doing is good it's not not in my opinion I'm not God so I don't know that's the other thing we gotta be realistic we harp on these things like we know everything there isn't just good and bad it just is and we determine what's good and bad so like a lot of times we don't know sometimes something negative needs to happen this is the truth of planet earth sometimes something negative needs to happen to spark something bigger and positive to come this is why everything in our microcosm in our lives if we all experience negative things we all experience difficulty we all experience things that are tough and if we use those things to grow and to turn towards love then we become more loving if we use those things to become bitter and close off then we become more bitter and closed off so we in the long run we determine what's good and what's bad why? Because it wasn't the thing it was how we chose to use it if we choose to use our difficult circumstances to open up towards love then in the long run this thing happening was an asset I mean I went through many many years of turmoil and difficulty through family court with my ex-wife I mean one of the hardest things that I ever went through and I went through 20 years of alcoholism and it was still probably the hardest thing that I went through but I grew through it I grew through it I can look at somebody that from an outside perspective inflicted the most pain on me and the person I love most in this world and I can look at her with no resentment none, Well wishes lovingly how can I do that? Because I grew through the experience and I opened through it and I forgave and I understood that she thought she was doing the right thing she wasn't in my opinion and probably a lot of other people's opinions the court system's opinions at the end of the day I get custody so they saw it through my eyes too eventually it just took many years for us to get to that point so there was a lot of suffering along the way but I don't harbor resentment towards her, She was like my greatest teacher you know it's use it to open and focus on our personal work and we become more loving so this is what we do in every situation in every moment how can I be loving how can I view this through love how can I really here's a great way for you guys to start if you really want to do some work on this then depending on the person you can start with the small, Medium or large and different people work better in different ways so you can just try it in each way and see which way works best for you starting with the small what I mean is start with a resentment, Something that you don't like that somebody did or that's transpiring in the world or something like that it doesn't keep you up nights it's not that big of a deal, It doesn't really affect you that much but you just don't like it that's small, Then it can be medium, Something that does affect you but it's not this huge thing or you can look at the biggest things the most extreme and quite honestly I would try that first because it will just speed up your progress if you can do the biggest thing first then everything underneath it is going to be that much easier so try the big things first, If you're not capable of doing it, Go down to a medium thing, If you're not capable of doing it, Go down to a small thing if you're not capable of doing it, Go down to a tiny tiny teeny thing and then work your way back up it doesn't matter, This work is all worth it but look at something that really bothers you look at the person or the entity that's doing it and try to just go okay it's their ignorance somewhere for some reason maybe things that they went through their experiences, For some reason they think this is the right thing to do it's not in my opinion because I'm not God and I don't know for sure I don't know anything for sure but in my opinion it seems pretty clear that this isn't the right thing, That's their ignorance they just are looking at it a different way for some reason, They just are and I can't control that so I need to accept that and then I need to find unconditional love for them I need to practice loving them even though they're doing this type of thing, I need to be able to feel a sense of unconditional love and well-wishing for them even though they're doing this stuff because if what they're doing is wrong then it is not in alignment with their true self all of us, Every single being on this planet has a soul that is perfect, Divine, It's not tainted, It's eternal, It cannot be threatened, It cannot be scratched scratched, Dented or damaged because of any experience that we have in this earthly lifetime it's perfect it's perfect unconditional love, It's perfect and everybody, Every being has that inside of them it's the foundation it's the core of what they are and everybody has that so love that love the fact that they have that in them love them as the child of God that they are because they are just as much as you are just as much as you are they might be confused in your opinion, They might be looking at things in the wrong way from your opinion but it doesn't change their eternal nature, It doesn't change the fact that they they, Just like you satisfied the creative urge of God you ever think of that that's such a beautiful thought God, I heard it said this way once, God was sitting there one day and he felt this urge and he was just like oh I I have to create, I just want to create and then he just went and he with a breath he just went and created you and that's how powerful you are you satisfied the creative urge of God how beautiful is that I love telling that story and you know what so did they, They satisfied the creative urge of God so love that aspect of them we don't have to love what they do we don't have to agree with what they do but we do have to love them because they're part of us there's only one so as you lean into this you get back into the bigger and bigger concepts the concept that we are all one so when somebody else is like when we're angry at somebody else we're just angry at ourselves it's like it's like let's say you did something I'm going to use a physical example to wrap this up let's say you physically hit somebody right so you physically hit somebody and you hurt them so that would be like cutting off your your fist and going like well the fist actually hit them or my hand actually slapped them so I'm going to cut that off and then the rest of me will be good it's like it doesn't work that way like the anger within you is what caused it it wasn't your hand so the anger in the world and the dysfunction in the world caused these poor behaviors it wasn't that person you know this has been going on for generations to generations you know in the movie The Shack they did a good job of that they're like doesn't it go back to to the first people doesn't it go back to Adam and Eve the brokenness you know you think because somebody's an adult they didn't have something happen to them when they were like a dysfunctional adult causing pain you think that they came from this wonderful loving scenario and just were loved unconditionally their whole lives and then just decided to choose inflicting pain on others for no apparent reason of course not they grew up in a dysfunctional world with dysfunctional people that caused pain and suffering and now they're causing pain and suffering again doesn't mean that they're not to be held accountable but it's just for us to understand like somebody did it to them and know who did it to them the people before who did it to them and know who did it to them the people before who did it to them like this goes back thousands and tens of thousands and hundreds of thousands of years this brokenness so who's really to blame it's our ignorance our ignorance is to blame for some reason people think that it's the only way that they can be happy or it's the only way that they can achieve what they think they need to achieve or it's the only way they think that yes most of them are wrong but it doesn't mean that they have no soul and they're not a child of God and they're not equal to us they deserve unconditional love just like we deserve unconditional love even though we make mistakes that's what unconditional love is so if we can just get kind of intellectual with that and learn to accept, Forgive understand, Have compassion for whatever we need to do for other people's lines of thinking that are causing them to do all these horrible things and then we can send our love to them through to their loving center, To their loving core, To their internal beautiful loving self that they truly are underneath all that dysfunction that's how we experience unconditional love for everyone okay so hopefully that helps people thank you for listening go be as loving as you can and my mouse isn't working again okay I will wrap it up for today thanks for listening peace, Be love alright
