Dr. Linda Steiner: A Template of Unconditional Love: Lessons from the Sun
We are all consciously aware, to varying degrees, of the principles of unconditional love – the desire and willingness to love ourselves and others without judgment, restriction or limitation. The variance that exists in relation to this awareness is due, in large extent, to the fact that we’ve been immersed in the illusion of a conditional love paradigm.
We’ve been taught, either directly or by example, that love must be earned, justified and deserved before it’s offered. We’ve been taught that love is to be doled out in measured increments – as if we only had a limited supply – fearful of depleting our reserves. We’ve been programmed to weigh degrees of “worthiness” in ourselves and others as prerequisites that must be satisfied so that our expressions of love are not wasted, exploited or rebuked. In essence, we fear that our expressions of love will be in vain.
