I remember when I wrote the comment of mine you're responding to, I was having in mind one NDE in which the person was explicitly told that human beings are not capable of unconditional love. Perhaps they meant most humans, or humans who have not yet had certain spiritual experiences. But even with Enlightened teachers, in general, the tendency that Ra mentioned from Eastern methods of seeking, in which overcoming one's earthly desires is encouraged, according to Ra is a greatly unbalanced method of seeking, entailing a great lack of love and compassion (for the self, if no one else).
For those that genuinely aspire to universal love, I just think that there are many factors involved that act as great stumbling blocks in this density towards reaching pure unconditional love. Going by Ra's definition of balance as that condition that prevents the self from being blinded by feelings of separation and which sees and recognizes everything as love, Ra said that the perfectly balanced entity is extremely rare in this density.
I was making this short personal list a few days ago as to those factors that I think are involved in forming unconditional love, perhaps I can share it here:
-Feeling joy in the other's presence, and/or in the recognition of their true divine essence
-Joyful and willing service without expectation of return
-Compassion and understanding in regard to the other's pains and troubles
-Internalizing the other's needs as one's own [Recognition of the other as oneself]
-Belief in the other's divine and infinite potential and beingness [Recognition of the other as the Creator]
-Respect for the other's free will to choose their own individual path [Recognition of the individuality and uniqueness of every soul]
To one degree or another, most of these can realistically be accomplished in third density to a great degree of purity, but I think the first is one hell of a challenge. We can face a pure STS entity, feel compassion for them, trying to understand them, even forgive them... But to feel pure joy and happiness in their presence as we would for a romantic partner that we are deeply connected with? That's the kind of love that I imagine the Creator Itself feels even for such STS entities. But to attain it here in 3rd density... Damn. :\ I certainly can't picture myself feeling that anytime soon! lol.
Just beautiful Ray.
Fact is I wonder if you are not guilty of unconditional love already
He is talented with articulation! Oh Ray! It is always well said!
