A difficult question that perhaps is best answered in an indirect fashion. I haven’t read Hawkins but I think of unconditional love as the state of no fear as was stated in Steve’s latest podcast “Owning Your Darkside”. To identify with life/people is to feed the ego and actually helps others less; with this identifying, unconditional love cannot exist. Perhaps it is much more difficult for females to get into the state of unconditional love. My reasoning is that if they have children or are in a relationship; they will identify with the child or the man. If they do not have these, they will identify with themselves as a person without these things. Jesus and Buddha were never in relationships with women—this helped them maintain/develop constant unconditional love. People with unconditional love have a certain…non-attachment to beings, including themselves, yet holding…a way of perception about the true nature of the beings surrounding them. This holds them back from getting anxious at other's negative states of being--contemplating that those beings will return to the universe.

Unconditional love is an achievable state but only for a very, very few. Life has taught me that life itself isn't important. Therefore, fundamentally, there is nothing to fear. One way to maintain “no fear” or “unconditional love”: To use the unconscious as often as possible, raising the level of consciousness (the consequent being happiness and a great way to find the solution/ truth to problems).
