Unconditional Love

April 1, 2025

“When you love someone unconditionally, you accept them for who they are, flaws and all.”– Brené Brown, The Gifts of Imperfection (2010)


As we’ve ushered in spring for 2025, not unlike New Years day, it seems to bring with it a freshness, like the spring air itself. It gives us a boost emotionally and psychologically. There are more smiles on the faces of the masses all over the world, at least for a brief time anyway.


Perhaps we should add a smile to our hearts as well. I’m talking about looking at the advantages of unconditional love. It is my belief that it very well could be a fundamental life lesson that we’ve all come here to learn. I know it certainly has been for me anyway. I’ve spent the last 40+ years studying spiritual metaphysics and the nature of reality, and the one concept that seems to scream the loudest is this unconditional love. I’ve had multiple opportunities to implement it more than one personal relationship.

I’m here to share that there isn’t anything more freeing than the feeling of owning this all-encompassing love in your heart. If you own a dog you see it all the time. Is it easy for us? Oh hell no! Especially if someone has broken your heart or bruised your ego in some way. Right away we want to hurt them back or inflict some sort of hate in their direction. Our egos are a double-edged sword. They are there to protect us in a way, but they can bring long term damage to us by preventing our innate ability to forgive. Ego stands for Edging God Out… EGO.


Remember, we are multi-dimensional spiritual beings. We are God particles… literal pieces of the Creator which is all consuming love! We are, literally, love incarnate. It’s more natural for us to love than to hate. Because our species has evolved to life in this 3rd dimension, the dimension of separation, duality, and individualism, it’s hard for us to see the unity of love that we are. The vast majority of us are born in love with family and relatives around us. As we mature, we find love for ourselves outside of our own circle. But life comes with ups and downs which are our life lessons and karmic balancing opportunities. Not all physical relationships are destined to last forever, despite our best intentions.


If we could only adopt the concept of unconditional love from the beginning, accepting them for who they really are, flaws and all as was stated in our beginning quote, it would be so much easier for us to let go and move on, should a relationship expire in some fashion. You may not “love” them physically anymore, but you sure would spiritually, because you would understand that they are still a part of your soul family. I will dive into that concept in a future blog post.


In the meantime, know that your life can become so much more harmonious once you grow into becoming one with unconditional love. It takes some time breaking away from ego, but it will be time well spent indeed. It doesn’t shield you from initially being hurt, because there’s a lesson there, but the recovery time is minimal when you can let go in both love and gratitude.
