LOVE WITHOUT CONDITIONS

Love Without Conditions by Paul Ferrini is in his own words "Reflections of the Christ Mind." It was given to me by my friend, Bob, the man I wrote about in my karma post. He gave this to me back in 1999 with these words written on the back of the front cover. "Vicki... Most answers are in the heart... May this book provide keys to unlock many doors. Bob '99" I am going to read and and blog my thoughts per chapter in the hopes that I will unlock doors for myself and help provide keys for some others. Introduction: The intro alone could be a mini book. The last sentence: "No one on earth has a better answer for you than the one you will find through trust in yourself and in me." Responsibility for our thoughts and therefore our world is our own. What we believe we make so the origin of the thought is either of Holy Spirit/ Christ (or whatever name/ word works for you) or ego/ world. We are asked in this chapter to choose our thoughts wisely and if uncertain as to what to think to bring to Him our dilemma and give it to Him to answer. Only when asked will He answer which to me gives a clear message that most of the thoughts that wonder in and out of my head are not from the spirit side of my mind. Most of the time I trying to decide to listen or not as they bombard my space. I can already see that to "be clear in your own mind" will take many trips to the spiritual communication phone. "Mistakes are opportunities for learning." This is as true for me as it is for everyone else. Everyone has the right to learn and make their own mistakes. I am here to correct mine not yours, nor to judge you as I am not mistake free and my judgment is only a combination of what I have perceived and therefore colored by others and myself. I do not know what is best for you. I only know what has worked, has not worked or might work according to my thoughts which may or may not help you. I'm leaving this chapter with the desire to rid myself of my "unhelpful thoughts." I will do this by opening my communication with the Holy Spirit within myself that was given me for my Being. I beleive we can help each other since the truth is the truth always. With the help of what we have been offered by Christ we can find that truth not by molding our own using His words but by giving Him all beliefs we have learned and letting Him recycle them back and hearing Him.
