We have to accept ourselves and not hold others up to some invisible standard as to how they should be.

Right, because then we put ourselve under the same pressure since we need to prove that we do meet those standards!

Exactly and we have to guard against ourselves trying to live up to too high of a standard.

Because we see everything only from our perspective. Once we look down on us and others around us, we see that acceptance is something we do feel or don’t but either way always includes us and others!

YES💛 we are each other’s mirrors and what is acceptable in others is what needs acceptance within us💛 compassion for the journey is a gift that can create real change among us all💛

Either we are unconditional or we aren’t but it doesn’t work to accept everything about ourselves and not about others… it is not possible to separate.

Often we react negatively to something about others that we don’t like about ourselves – mirror. Once we can accept ourselves the way we are we may barely have a problem to let others simply be… because we know that nobody is perfect and everybody walks on their own road of development.

Erika, I like how you framed your response. I was thinking about people who like their drink too much associating with others who like to drink, as a way to mask their own problem. Keith

Wow, that’s a very good example. Hiding an issue behind a seeming social behavior and at the same time maybe even finding a way in that behavior to excuse it or not looking at it. That you brought that up gave me goosebumps, Keith.

Very true Erika. How we act is how we think of ourselves, a lifelong ingrained habit from childhood of how we feel we have been treated. Unintentionally taught to us by those we love and look up to, and their own fears that they project from ‘their’ childhood.
The day I saw that and understood it, I realised this is supposed to be a very ‘conditional’ world. How else can you teach and then appreciate ‘unconditional’ but by showing its opposite so we ‘know’ what it means. Like truly appreciating happiness because we have truly felt what it is like to know sadness too 😀 ❤️ 🙏🏽 🦋

Oh, yes, I hear your words well. I think what could make the difference between conditional and unconditional may be to lead by example instead of teaching by telling what’s right or wrong. Teaching that way can only be conditional because it holds judgment. But explaining some laws and then living them but also granting others to figure things out without telling them could make the unconditional difference. Just came to my mind…

And well said dear lady, very wise words. Everything that is taught is ‘conditional’ on the teachers approach, way of being and what they ‘feel’ is that right or wrong way…but they are only the product of that very same ‘conditional’ upbringing.
Honestly, I feel that many approaches are needed so that we ‘will’ question right or wrong and finally find that spot that is us, and strangely enough…’let it all go in understanding it’. The journey was to ‘feel’ it all and become that sweet spot of finding us as that unconditional is truly understood.
Great post my friend, thank you for adding to unconditional’s path 😀 ❤️ 🙏🏽 🦋

Yes, you are saying it so well. I think the secret and the true understanding lies in the insight that there is neither right of wrong. There are simply ways, and all ways lead somewhere… all of them!

That inner heart ‘feels’ loves truth in all we do…we just struggle a little bit as life pokes us with so many decisions every day and we need to experience them all to truly understand them….let alone so much chocolate to choose from 😂 🤣

That’s right and therefore we need to be careful to think we know it all. Another experience can change the whole context!
And yes… lol!!
