Oh, my! I can imagine that for a few folks the title of today's episode caused them a brief moment of near apoplexy! No, I didn't choose it for its shock value, nor did I choose it to be controversial. I chose it because there are a few things about unconditional love that you may not know, and maybe, you may have a little blind belief that to be a "good" person. you must strive to be unconditionally loving to all people at all times. Not so. Before you set your hair on fire--or want to do that to mine...lol--please listen to the whole episode.It is NOT heresy. I am a deeply spiritual person and I've led several spiritual centers and organizations. I am very familiar with the constructs and demands of unconditional love. So, I feel I'm a good person to give you this food for thought. I've covered the four ways in the highlights section below, but each one requires explanation and that's what I've done in the episode. I really, really, really hope you'll think about these things, after listening to the whole episode. You'll find it relieving and freeing, I hope. --------------------------------------------------------------------If you want to learn more, share, ask questions, and feel more powerful within yourself and your relationships.
