Unconditional love

People talk about it all the time these days, at least so it seems. The highest virtue is unconditional love. We are supposed to feel it, breathe it, think it, eat it. We are thriving on it. And yet, most people don't really know what it is. I'm not sure I know what it is. When I ask people, they can't really explain it. "It's the kind of love that concurs all". Okay?

Some people call Unconditional love Real love. And maybe that is right, maybe it is the same. Other people say it's love despite of. Probably also true.

I somehow have this feeling that unconditional love is about something that is greater than me, above me, yet surrounding me and also residing inside of me. Something I am not only capable of, but also something that is natural to me. Not something I have to strive to achieve.

Yes, I believe unconditional love belongs to The Divine, God, Higher Power, The Spirit - whatever you choose to call it. For that matter, it also has to do with me, because I am part of this "Over-conscious". So as long as I can be surrounded by it, and part of it, I also have to be capable of it. So what does it require?

Willingness? A sharp mind? A great spirit? Truth? Authenticity? Or does it simply require an open heart? 


I'll go with the open heart - as a starter.
