Unconditional Love – the Capacity to be “in love with life.”

Unconditional Love, then, is the capacity to be in love—it’s really “in love with life.” You’re driving along and all of a sudden, you feel a surge of joy. You’re just sort of in love with life itself. And, at 540 you pretty much fall in love with everybody and people who belong to 12 -Step organizations know what that’s like. You leave judgmentalism at the door and everyone is unconditionally loving to the best of their ability. It leads to a saintliness, saintliness, and it brings you into Serenity, Joyfulness, a feeling of completion – and God is Infinite Love. The joy of life is that the Source of that life is the Love of God. That takes you into sort of an exquisite state, which is transfiguring. 540 is transfiguring. Your inner life is one of serenity. Although your emotions may jump around, they’re not who you are, because the persona, the personality which interacts with the world is not who you are; and along the way with spiritual work, you realize that it’s not what you are anyway—why are you wasting time with it ? It doesn’t need anything, and you could drop it any time, you know what I am saying. “Why don’t you drop that?” “Yeah, okay,”. So, it’s not who you are, because if it’s who you are you’re not going to drop it no matter what, because that’s intention. But emotionality can come and go and doesn’t need anything. Even a saint can get annoyed with something. It doesn’t mean he’s not saintly, but if you ask him if he believes that, he doesn’t believe that. It’s just the animal talking.
