Self-love

Unconditional loving begins with self-love. As long as we have no love for ourselves, it’s difficult for us to either find love outside or to carry love out into the world. This is because we radiate everything we carry within us outwards into the world through our vibration. And what we radiate outwards then manifests in our lives. That’s cosmic law. As long as we have no self-love, we don’t radiate love, and so love, which is present everywhere in the world, can’t reach us because it’s unable to find anything in us to dock on to.

The cave example

It can be said that there are two different groups of people on Earth today. The first group are those who still believe that violence can only be stopped by force and that wars are needed to create peace. The second group are those who have already understood that this doesn’t work because by responding to violence, anger, hatred and condemnation with counter-violence, with more anger, hatred and condemnation, you strengthen these low energies so that they never stop.

The solution is to react to violence and war with a different energy, an energy that has a higher frequency than the problem: with love! Every war in the world had its beginning in a lack of love. And it’s a law that a problem and the solution to the problem never lie on the same vibration frequency. The solution to a particular problem always lies on a higher frequency than the problem itself.

I’ll give you an example: Imagine standing somewhere in the mountains in front of a dark cave entrance from which black clouds are emerging. There are people living in this cave who consider manipulation, violence and war a good idea, who nourish hostile thinking and who do all kinds of things that serve the unlight. These people see and know nothing but their dark clouds. Now, among them, there are some people who feel that something isn’t right and who no longer want to remain trapped in the cave. The problem is that while they can think they’d like to live differently, they don’t know how to. Because it’s so dark, they also don’t know where the cave’s exit is and how they could get out. I’m sure there are people like that everywhere, in every conflict, who want to get out of the dark cave.

Our responsibility and task – as those standing outside the cave in the light, who don’t live in a consciousness dominated by hostile thinking, manipulation or violence – is to send light into the cave. That is, we send in positive energies in the form of golden clouds. These can be good feelings such as hope, joy, confidence, lightness, optimism and trust, but above all the two energies of forgiveness and love. Without forgiveness, there will continue to be an atmosphere of discord. Only when we’re able to make peace with the past and forgive the dark beings for their actions will we be able to meet them with unconditional love. It’s a huge challenge to send our love to those unlight beings who feel no love for us at all. But every human being and every other living being – even beings of unlight – should be given the chance again and again to turn to the Divine and enter into the light.

We can best forgive the unlight by realising that we have much cause to be grateful for everything we’ve experienced in the past, both individually as souls and collectively as humanity. As Earth people, this is our master’s examination: to learn to let our love flow to all living beings, even if circumstances are difficult.

Our golden clouds of forgiveness and unconditional love have to be larger and stronger than the dark clouds inside the cave if the people in the cave are to be able to see them at all and be able to accept them – should they want to. Like a bright ray of light, these golden clouds will show those in the cave who are consciously or subconsciously looking for the exit – and who are ready to accept our gift – the way to freedom. Others will choose not to accept our offering of light and will remain trapped in the cave. This should also be respected. We can also leave the golden clouds of our love in the cave, so that anyone who wants to can come back to them sometime later and undergo transformation. Love is patient, very patient.

Unconditional love as a collective learning task of humanity

Love has a very strong transformative power, meaning it has the ability to transform negative things into positive things. The same goes for humour, by the way. However, a single person alone can’t transform the world but a large number of people can. The more people who begin sending golden love clouds into the darkness of our time, the faster crisis situations will cease to be solved with violence, and will be solved with love instead. This is our common learning process, which we have all been involved in for thousands of years – alongside the individual learning processes we go through in our various incarnations. Unconditional love is our collective learning task as humanity, and it’s only this unconditional love that will enable lasting peace in this world.

We can recognise our personal learning theme, our personal learning task in life, by the fact that it comes up again and again. If your life keeps confronting you with similar, unpleasant situations, then this is exactly where your learning task lies. The same applies collectively. If we look at the history of humanity over the past centuries and millennia, we can see that humanity has stirred up hatred and violence and has waged wars time and again. This is because the overarching, collective learning task of humanity is the development of unconditional love for all beings.

Now, the task of each and every one of you is to be a beacon and a love pioneer. The defining characteristic of love pioneers is not that they give seminars or write books, but that they embody and radiate love through their being. You shine the most when you simply are what you are. So, leave places where you no longer feel comfortable and go to where you belong – be it the coast, a city, the mountains or anywhere else. In this way, you’ll arrive at the point where you too will be a beacon. Then you’ll no longer ask yourself: “Am I a beacon now or not?” You just are, and all you have to do is simply shine. Simply be light.

The interesting thing is that when you have fully unfolded unconditional love, you will be exactly where you were originally. You are light and light is love. You were never anything else.

Training unconditional love

Question from the audience: I try to live unconditional love in my life, but the principle of resonance doesn’t always work. I often find myself being used by others. How do I deal with this?

Answer: The other person can indeed see the light, but can’t embrace it yet. This part is for the other person to deal with. But for your part, you can change your attitude and send the person concerned unconditional love with no expectations. In this way, you can train unconditional love. We can only really live something when we’ve trained it enough, meaning when it has passed from day consciousness to our subconscious. Although our true nature is unconditional love, it’s overlaid at the moment by various beliefs and habitual patterns. This is why repeated training is necessary to dissolve the things that are still preventing us from reconnecting with our true nature. If unpleasant situations occur repeatedly in your life, this gives you the opportunity to practice something specific. If someone is hostile towards you or tries to quarrel with you or even takes advantage of you, then this person is unconsciously doing you a loving service. They give you the opportunity to train your ability to love and to practice unconditional love.

Unconditional love is not the same as the love in a partnership where you say: “I love this one person more than anyone else.” Unconditional loving means sending the same amount of love to all beings – to those we don’t find so great as well. It means forgiving and letting our love flow even to where there is no love as yet and from whence none flows back to us. Because where love is not, there it is most needed. This means we can now learn to feel love for those human beings who don’t emanate love. This is something very wonderful.
