Explaining Unconditional Love

On a recent Saturday I was lucky to hear professor Haggai Fridman of the Kabbalah Centre explain unconditional love.

He said there were four steps to loving unconditionally. These steps truly work, and have helped me turn friction into friendship.

2. Do things you would like people to do/say to you. If you would like a stranger to say, “How are you?” then do that for other people. Sense or feel what the other person really needs. People want kindness, and paradise sharing is loving kindness, to really feel where the other person is at.

3. When you see something wrong that someone does, don’t judge. Feel the greatest/good aspects of people first, and don’t rush to judgment because you don’t see the whole picture.

4. If you do see something wrong, tell the other person and let them explain. Now, you don’t create space/hate and they can improve or tell you what you didn’t see. Remember, what someone else wants is not always what you want. Give as you would like to receive, but don’t judge this way. You might stand and give someone else your seat on a bus, but to someone else, a seat is not so important and he may not think to stand.

That’s it! That’s the way to love unconditionally. And the only way to practice this is to practice this!

Remember this lesson and come back to it. The more you practice, the better YOU will feel, and the more practical change you will create in people and the world. The faster we turn our petty hatred into love, the sooner the world will have peace.
