Unconditional Love as a Means to Oneness by Erina Cowan

Seeking Unconditional Love
   We are all seeking Unconditional Love.  This is the life journey that we are participating in.  The parent-child relationship is foundational in this quest.  It offers us our greatest opportunities to experience Love at this level.  This said, it also presents us with our most profound challenges.  In the end it is through the challenges that we finally open ourselves completely to the gift of Love.  We see time after time where our hidden discomforts and old limiting patterns lie.  This is the journey from small ‘ego’ based self to the grandiosity of Self or the State of living in peace, harmony, joy and ‘Oneness’.  In truth, our very essence is Unconditional Love and Unity Consciousness.  Our experience of this is only obscured by illusory veils created by our conditioned personalities, unconscious beliefs and self-limitations.  The Parent-child relationship offers us a great tool in the ‘un-veiling’ process.  All of our primary relationships serve this purpose.  As you read this article refer see where these ideas fit in your life.

Conditional Love
   How do we discern conditional love from unconditional love?  First, we need to understand that almost all of our thoughts are based on conditioned patterns that we hold in our unconscious mind. These patterns are derived from our past experiences, ancestral lineages, karma, parallel or past lives, and the collective unconscious.  Our relationships all mirror back to us our internal belief system.  Each moment we are experiencing either peace or lack of it.  Our external environment including people, places and events is just reflecting what our inner state is at that time.  It would seem as though we are playing victims to a ceaseless barrage of conditioned thought patterns. When we are living in an ‘unconscious’ state we are playing that role.  However, our spiritual evolution dictates that we sooner or later become ‘awakened’ and step out of the victim role.  As we become more observant of our thoughts we are able to use our free will to choose peace in every situation, thus breaking the cycle of painful experience-conditioned reaction-future similar events. 

Loving to the Best of Our Abilities at Any Moment
   The very act of becoming more observant begins to create a deeper sense of peace and stability within us.  We begin to release old conditioned patterns which were always peppered with guilt, fear, anxiety, judgment and projection.  You see, when we are operating on our past programming, we can only relate to others with ‘conditional’ responses.  For the most part, our relationships even with our children are at best, based on ‘conditional love’.  We may think that we love our kids or life partners unconditionally.  However, this is impossible until we begin to see our hidden patterns clearly and love and accept every aspect of ourselves.  It is only then that we can truly experience love for another.  Healing our closest relationships is an imperative step in opening fully to Grace and Oneness in our lives.  LOVE IS FREEDOM.  Repeat these words over and over again daily until you begin to feel the liberation offered with this realization. 
  We are all universally supported beyond what you can imagine right now more than ever before …to attain infinite joy, peace and abundance.  You must first realize that who you believe yourself to be is nothing more than a bundle of thought patterns based on past experiences. Awaken to experiencing the Present through applying true forgiveness to yourself and all others  each time you feel any level of anger, anxiety, fear or even slight discomfort arise.  

“Forgiveness is not a thing you offer when another has done something to you,
Or even for something you have done to yourself. Forgiveness is just the awareness, beyond your thoughts, of the meaninglessness of all that seems to cause you pain.”           
                                                                                                               Jeshua

How to Experience Unconditional Love

   How can you experience more Unconditional Love in your life with your children and other loved Ones?  You can practice these basic ideas:
•    Learn to become more observant with your thoughts and actions.
•    Pay more attention to how you ‘feel’ in given situations. Ie: how do I feel when my (child , parent, partner)  says or does that same old ‘thing’ to me.  Remember, our relationships are mirroring back to us unhealed conflicts we harbor within us.
•    Start each day with conscious intent to see everyone with fresh eyes as often as possible. Consciously let go of any limiting judgments and opinions you have formed about him/her.  We use others to secure separation for us through our judgements.
•    Pay more attention to ‘content’ instead of ‘form’.  For instance, what is it that we most want to teach our children?  Isn’t it most important that they learn love, acceptance and forgiveness?  These qualities will take them fluidly through any challenge that life may bring them.  What is form and content?  ‘Form’ is constantly changing experiences…or what we are doing, whereas Content is ‘how we are experiencing something…or our state of Being.  Take a moment to evaluate your feelings honestly before reacting to any given situation.
•    Be open to all that you can learn from your relationships.  It is often the challenges that offer us the greatest potential for Spiritual growth.
•    Help your children and all others to grow in their spirituality. Choose to see Light in them rather than relating to their conditioned personalities.  Through your eyes they will come to know their own Divinity. In this, you will discover your Light.
•    Open yourself to the idea of infinite potentiality.  Allow yourself the opportunity to be ‘re-born’ each moment.  Let go of that which no longer suits your highest good.
•    Forgive yourself completely for any misperceptions you may hold about what you did or didn’t do.

Transforming any Situation through Love, Forgiveness, Gratitude and Union

    In Truth we are all connected with the Divine Source of Creation.  This is the only thing we can ‘hang our hats on’.  Everything else in our life experience changes.  We start out as infants grow into children, then we become adults, have kids of our own and see them grow, and so on…  As noted in the article above we experience life mainly through the filters of our conditioning.  This is the cause of all pain and illness.  Once we begin to choose peace and conscious participation instead our health, our environment, our relationships, our entire reality changes.  You must experience this to really understand it.  We can help this along by taking at least 10 minutes each morning and evening to honor ourselves with silence.
   
   When we connect with the Divine in our prayer and meditation it provides us with a moment free of conditioned chatter in our minds.  It places us in a state of pure potentiality and creativity.  At this point we are able to transform any experience in our perceived reality.  Intentionally aligned with the Divine we can effectively heal problems at this level.  The following is a very effective prayer that involves focusing your attention on another person, yourself or a situation and transforming any problem through applying love, forgiveness and gratitude.  It is derived from an ancient Hawaiian tradition called ‘Ho’Oponopono:

(Name or Situation), I love you.

Please forgive me as I forgive myself

For all misperceptions I have held in consciousness

Which have kept us separate and in pain.

In the name of the Divine I set us free.

Thank you.  I love you.

The New Economy By Dave Cowan

We live in a world of cycles. Sunspots, seasons, life stages, cosmic alignments…the list goes on. Is it any wonder then, that economic systems should also be subject to changes…ups and downs, as it were. Cyclic changes are the basis of speculation and the current dysfunctional economic system…’good’ as long as growth and profit results; ‘bad’ when they don’t. But something else is going on here. As we have become a Global Society, interfaced through telecommunications and Global financial bodies,  we are now poised on the precipice of an unprecedented scale of change…one that will effect every seven-plus billion of us.

To appreciate the potential of a New Economy, we must look closely at the Old, and why it must fail before something totally New can arise. If we take a non-dual metaphysical viewpoint, it is easier to appreciate the inherent weakness of the current economy…an unconscious ‘death wish’ is not too inaccurate here.  This viewpoint  regards the world ‘out there’ as merely a projection, or inner perception, of the Mind that imagined it. Together, we have imagined and accepted some dysfunctional assumptions, primarily the belief in lack. This is an ego-based idea that Nature, or God, has limited resources. Therefore, your gain would imply my lack. And my gain, although implying your lack, is perfectly justifiable in light of my survival. Can you see how constricted and fear-based is this idea? Yet it is at the root of the Global Economy. The state of the world caused by this belief ‘proves’ a world of lack. Do we not have starving masses alongside conspicuous over-consumption? This is the circular reasoning that serves to perpetuate a model of the world based on struggle, conflict and suffering. On a social level, this sick illusion has manifested as a small group of the hyper-wealthy bent on the suppression and control of a world of wage slaves. This group flourishes in a state of ‘endless war’, pitting one group against another and keeping alive the illusion of separate interests and…a world of lack. The good news is…we are nearing the end of this charade.

The demise of these old thoughts and beliefs and the systems they have spawned is being driven by another set of cycles. These are cosmological cycles which many ancient cultures and some modern astronomers are aware of. Without going into too much detail here, multiple cycles are converging on the planet at this time with the cumulative effect of raising the frequency, or rate of vibration, of all matter and energy in our Solar System and related space community. This shift has been gradually affecting Earth and Humanity since the 1500’s, and is exponentially accelerating now.

We could look at the physiological roots of the dysfunctional economy as coming from fear-based survival reflexes, which are individually housed in the central area of the brain know as the ‘Lizard Brain’.  The thoughts and emotions stemming from these structures are at a lower frequency and efficacy than the higher thoughts and emotions generated by the Mammalian and distinctly Human structures which overlay them.  As the frequency of matter and energy in the environment rises, holding onto these lower energies becomes more and more difficult, and eventually, soon, impossible. When we lived in small, isolated groups of hunter-gatherers, we could, in a sense, ‘afford’ to live by these lower instincts. If things got weird with the neighbors, we simply moved on! Now, however, the interconnectedness of the world demands a higher level of civility. Eventually, the old ‘warrior’ programs will be written in history books as an embarrassing hiccup in the human saga. Today, however, we are witnessing the demise of the old paradigm as it writhes and convulses in it’s death throes.

What all this implies is that things will very likely get a lot worse before the New Paradigm can manifest. On a personal level, we can navigate the changes best by recognizing our own fears as they arise. Recognize them as based on a foundation of false beliefs and assumptions. Recognize these as not just your fears, but a collective fear that has been purposely programmed into you education, media, literature and sciences. We are being called to shed these beliefs together, as ‘together’ is much more descriptive of who we are; of who we are awakening to. Along with these changes, a New Identity is being born of Humanity as One…One Being from One Source with One Purpose.  Get used to the idea that ‘You are not who you think you are’ and ‘the past is not what it used to be’. Look closely at what you truly value, as the degree of attachment to what you value in the world will determine the degree of pain and distress you will call upon yourself as the wall of lies crumbles around you.

Do you value money above relationships? Do you value position and image above true perception of yourself as one among equals? Do you value conflict and ‘being right’ over peace and forgiveness? Then you have signed up for a rough ride. You will make it through, as there is no death. How long and how deeply you want to suffer is under your control, however. Your desire for something deeper, some ‘better way’ of seeing is all that is needed to begin to draw to yourself opportunities to embrace the New Paradigm.

However things unfold for you in the next few months and years, learn some way of releasing your fears. For some this may be physical exercise, dancing or some creative outlet. Shift the concern from ‘your problems’ to ‘our problem’ and realize we are all in this together. Do something for someone else without hope of reward, and you’ll be amazed at how your problems shrink in your view.

I had a dream once that I was crossing a raging river on a weak bridge of sticks. As I got to the center, the bridge disintegrated, and I was washed downstream. My panic was interrupted with a very clear message; “Let go and let the river take you where it will. If you struggle, you will perish”.

 I suggest you take some time to identify what it is you truly value…and begin to extend energy in these directions. These are the things you will bring with you through the ‘storm’. These are the things that make you truly wealthy. And when you know your own true Worth and Value as a ‘spark of the Divine’ you become a treasure to all of us!
