UNCONDITIONAL LOVE

Today is the day of essential significance. We celebrated the 7th anniversary of the United Global Public and as a completion of seven years of experience, study, and exploration in the field of unconditional love. 

I learnt that compassion and loving-kindness are the soul qualities and along with inclusion and acceptance, detachment from our ego, our lower non-real self are those building blocks of wisdom that comes with experience.

A week or so ago when we celebrated Full Moon in Leo, for in Leo, Father-Spirit and Mother-Matter meet in the individual and their union produces that conscious entity which we call the Self. Christ Consciousness is unfolding stage by stage. This is what embodies the fifth labor of Hercules. 

Unconditional love and Christ Consciousness are the same frequency and we must understand the meaning of it especially today, in the midst of a spiritual crisis. Yes, when this energy is so needed , in the “End of Times”, “the Last Days” when fear is everywhere and darkness seems to have penetrated in every corner. Remember that the night is the darkest just before the Dawn. Remember about Hope! Then Light and Love and Power restore the Plan of Earth.

Some think that the unconditional love of the family is a symbol of the  unconditional love of God. Without the parent-child relationship, humanity would not have learned to love, at least not for many aeons. The ideal modern parent seeks to observe the child’s irrational behavior and respond with reason and calm. When the parent’s reaction is not emotional nor based on the parent’s self-interest and needs, then it could be argued that the role of the parent mirrors that of the soul, the higher self, as it oversees and guides the individual in incarnation.

In spite of so much deepening insight into the needs of the child, there is still much child abuse in the world, often resulting in serious and permanent harm. Society pays a high price as well - perhaps more so than recognised. Scientific studies show clear evidence that the brain becomes significantly altered when childhood abuse has occurred. The effects of physical, sexual and emotional abuse, neglect and even exposure to domestic violence all constitute “an extreme traumatic insult” to the developing brain of the child. 

The Texas Association for the Protection of Children reminds us that abused children are 74 times more likely to commit crimes against others and six times more likely to harm their own children.

There are studies that show that the areas of the brain damaged by childhood abuse and trauma - the amygdala and prefrontal cortex - are the areas that control fear and violence and result in poor impulse control. Lacking internal inhibitors, a person is more likely to act aggressively. Childhood trauma also turns off the neurons that make empathy and conscience possible. The kind of empathy needed for a more peaceful world is not likely to be found in those who have been brutalized as children. This could be a key element in the solution to world harmony that humanity has sought down the ages. 

The child is the forgotten citizen, and yet, statesmen and educationists once came to realize the terrific force that is in the childhood for good or for evil, I feel they would give it priority above everything else.
