What is the ultimate spiritual experience everyone is seeking? Answer: being absorbed and wrapped up in unconditional love. We are all wanting to feel (verb and not an abstract idea) being totally loved without limitations — acceptance, joy, eternal bliss. It is this feeling in terms of Now experience that those who have NDE’s fight to remain on the Other Side versus returning to their bodies. For many, they would say this is what God is about – God is Love. Note that this feeling of Love is at the level of experience; feeling it, moving with it, and not simply an abstract thought that stirs nothing within the actual movement of our energy. Others would say this is what all the lessons of earth-life are about – to teach us the lessons of love.
Now, it is also acknowledged that everyone is a spark of the Divine; meaning that within all of us, that spring of unconditional love (and its subsequent bliss) is already existing. So … if the ultimate act of spirituality is to be wrapped up and absorbed by love, and we already have the spark of that love within us, then how do we BECOME it, in the verb sense versus the adjective, so that we may have Heaven in our own little slice of earth, or at least with ourselves and those around us?
Well… If what you focus on expands, then one must examine their conscious relationship towards this inner spark. One must focus upon it. Do you even acknowledge it within you? Do you hide from it? Do you feel, for whatever reason, you do not deserve a relationship with this part of your inner self? On some level, are you merely orbiting it without truly landing upon its surface? All this must be examined.
But it must also be understood: In order to become something, in order to experience it, one must contemplate it and begin moving in the direction of it. And the only way to become unconditional love is to engage in actions that reflect that. In this sense, in order to have an experience (in the sense of a verb) of unconditional love, is to give that kind of love away. Since it is within you, and you place a focus upon it – contemplate it – this will happen naturally. However, the first step is to acknowledge you already have it within, you just have yet to bring it fully out. You must cultivate it.
How do you cultivate anything? By working with it. Expressing it. Bringing it forth. Be willing to dip your hands into the clay in order to form it.
Since unconditional love and eternal acceptance is the ultimate experience everyone is seeking – and we carry it already within as a spark – then we must do the work necessary to bring it forth. This is the greatest of all endeavors.
So contemplate the unconditional love you have within… What it means; what it represents; what it inspires. Move towards it… but most of all, cultivate it. Only in this way, can you truly become it and experience it and appreciate it at that ultimate depth we wish to swim in.
