For a while now I've been struggling to put the idea of unconditional love into action, but it's so easy for me to lose track of what I am attempting to do, especially dealing with living in the city and being in the final grade of high school i tend to forget my motives pretty quickly. But it is something that I am striving to accomplish and I was really hoping that some people would like to share some techniques or advice that has worked out well for them! I'd appreciate any sort of support, thanks :)

The Key to Experiencing Love – the Energy of Life

Your last grade in high school, and already you are serious about the notion of unconditional love, congratulations to you, my friend :) Trust me, most kids your age aren't half as developed as you are. My last year of high school was the year I really started getting on the Ascension path, and even I wasn't so motivated to love unconditionally lol
But as I've grown, I have done a good job learning what unconditional love is. And I've found, the best way to feel that love for others, is to connect with that part of you that is them. In other words, put yourself in other peoples shoes, and see yourself in them. Try to imagine what it is like to BE them, and feel what they feel, see what they see. Try and understand and FEEL what it would be like if you were them. To be simple, feel empathy with others, and connect to that oneness inside of you.
When you connect to this empathy and oneness with others, it will be much easier to understand them, and feel compassion and love for them. It is easy to feel love and compassion for others, when we can see ourselves in them, to a point where, we feel we ARE them. For me, the people I really love and respect, I feel such a deep connection with them, I sometimes feel like I AM THEM. Well I mean, on the deepest level, I am!
It really is hard to put in words, it is something you just need to feel. If you connect with them on a deep enough level, approaching the "God level" as I call it, this love and understanding will be so strong, that no matter how they are, you can feel that unconditional love for them, because at that level, you ARE THEM. You are ONE with them, there is no separation. I go in and out of that level all of the time. Of course, it is harder to feel that with "dark" people lol Or people you don't know at all. But I try my best, because I know that God exists within all of us, and again, at that deepest of levels, we are all ONE with God and ONE with each other!
First person you have to show unconditional love to is yourself, and go easy on yourself if you forget. Its a process. Gosh to be your age doing this now, I wish lol!
The worst thing we do is punish ourselves for not getting it right all the time, it matters not, its like forming a new habit, in time it will come. It is the desire to do it and the commitment to keep trying even though we fail to accomplish our goal sometimes.
The other part of that is we don't have to "love" everything, To love unconditionally we have to be willing also to say, hey do you mind I don't like that. having unconditional love of self, we have to be willing to stand up for ourselves.
I happen to be working on that right now, I've got the anger under control, but now its just being unconditional love and I have to tell you, you will be tested. I have an annoying co-worker. Once I got over being anoid and was able to love her unconditionally and accept her as she was, she stepped up her game and became even more annoying!! Which I didn't think was possible, but now she has her nose in everything I do every minute I am there!! Sometimes I just have to ignore her!
Shane I can't tell anyone how to Love or how to do anything, it is our own individual paths in Life to learn and grow. All I can say is loving others unconditionally first starts with loving yourself, unconditionally. Allowing and accepting yourself as a Unique individual with much to offer, One worthy and deserving of Love and All Good Things. Be patient, kind and gentle with yourself, as understanding of yourself as you would another who is first learning and growing, discovering the world :)
Peace Love and Light to you <3
I find that if I stay calm and centered, things work out way better. Most people are seriously "pent up" they don't exercize enough, they don't release their energy in a constructive way, and this is what leads to deeper tension.
I agree with loving yourself, having compassion for yourself, but in general, I think also being Patient with other people is the key to spreading the "love" energy....
And I need to take this advice as well.... :-D
