Okay, I'm posting this mostly because I've been reading & have come across several things I find problematic for myself to understand & integrate so I'm posting here.
though I am sure I will find the answer in due time.
I am mainly reading Hawkins but this is a general question that has come up when I've read "A Course in Miracles" & also when I've read about mysticism & the various states that come with raising your consciousness.
Now Hawkins states Unconditional Love is an achievable state. I feel Love from time to time towards people yet it is MUCH easier for me to feel that love towards someone who is in grief or someone who is dying for example vs. someone who is antagonizing me at the moment or someone who is trying to emotionally barrage me. I'm sure many of you guys have dealt with this from time to time.
I have managed very recently to become one with the state even when the person is sort of angry & I've felt a peace come over me. Is this more unconditonal in terms of love? Or something else?
Now, what does it mean to feel that state of Unconditional Love? I've read that Mother Teresa was this way as well as Gandhi (both of whom I also study) & well! regarding my prior mentioned situations..what would Mother Teresa/Gandhi do? Or maybe the better question is: What would they feel? What would their internal response be? Would there even be a response or rather just a feel of loving peaceful radiance?
Also..regarding Unconditional Love. Are there 'boundaries' when you are unconditionally loving? Are 'boundaries' only necessary at lower consicousness levels because at that point you don't know how to deal with certain types of situations well on your own?
Or are 'boundaries' not necessary anymore because naturally you dis-gravitate from angry-ness & feel at peace regardless?
I am currently working on making my love more unconditional & less conditional so answering these questions would be great! Thank you in advance!
