1) Do you believe in Unconditional Love? If so, based on which religion or spiritual practice? Yes, I do believe in unconditional love. It was always an ideal for me. I grew up in a very abusive household, but always believed in love and kindness. It took me a long time to find someone that was able and that I allowed to love me unconditionally. I am a Christian, but I don’t feel my desire or ability for unconditional love is all from there.
2) What does the concept of Unconditional Love mean to you personally? It means to love people all the time. Not only when live is good and easy, but also when it’s hard and you don’t want to. That is often when people need it most. Unconditional love brings stability and security for people, for me that is really important.
3) Does your faith teach Unconditional Love? If so, please share that teaching here. If so, please share that teaching here. It does. I am a christian currently attending an Episcopal church.
4) Are you political? How do you practice Unconditional Love in your politics? I am not very political. However I know there are strong feeling when it comes to politics. I may not agree with others, but I will still love them, even if it is a difficult task. A lot of people have fears and biases based on ignorance, they also need to be loved.
5) Do you practice Unconditional Love in your everyday life? I try. This is part of my growth process as a human this journey. I come from a very self centered family and lived that model for quite a while. As my consciousness has been elevated it has assisted me in this everyday practice.
6) Have you ever experienced Unconditional Love from another human being? If so, please share your experience here. Yes, I have. I will say that I am extremely grateful for this experience. I met this man that allowed me to be just who I was and loved me for me. Not for a person he needed or wanted me to be. We existed in this harmony for quite a while. He remembered small things that made me feel really special. I made some choices while our lives were merged that didn’t make sense. His response was not outlandish or filled with anger as so many of my previous human interactions were. He just let me know he was there for me no matter what and that he loved me. That never changed. I knew he loved me until the day he died.
