Has anybody else experienced unconditional love? To a certain degree you experience it when you hold a baby... and maybe when you're first falling in love with someone... I experience a 6 hour span once of unconditional love...

This was about 10 years ago before my back surgery... My daughter called me up and asked if I would baby sit while she ran a few errands... To me it is a couple of hours... It turn out to be 6 hours... She drops off D. J., my two and a half year old grandson... He immediately climbs into my lap... Every movement I feel in my lower back... My daughter says "Mama's got to go now, give me a kiss..." It's kind of a hit and miss whether or not he gets lips, cheek or thin air... You see it's grandpa time now... He sits in my lap, building Legos on a TV tray next to my chair... With one eye on his Lego tower and the other on sponge bob square pants... The Lego tower would get so high it would fall and he say ah oh! and I say build it again? and he would say build it again? I would repeat the same thing... After about two hours, during Lego retrieval time, I get up to go to the bathroom, and I noticed I was having a hard time walking... I knew I was in trouble, but it does not matter now; You see it's grandson time now, and I can't be bothered with this now...

The next day I was laying in the bathtub nursing my back I thought about this... How could I tolerate all that pain for 6 hours and not even recognize it's there?... Then it dawn on me... It was unconditional love... You see I am grandpa and he doesn't know I have faults and can do no wrong... He is my grandson and I am in love with the world when he is around... There is no judging, no right or wrong, big and small or good and bad... Our minds are not oscillating from the past, present and future… We are in the moment... and there is 6 hours of kinesthetic tactile contact... Unadulterated pure love...

I use to have a problem with the saying {God was pure love and pure love was God...} This didn't make sense to me, until I saw it... Love is an energy that is propelled outwardly from the nucleus by a strong sense of an appreciation; it is the same energy that runs up and down your spine and gives you goose bumps when you hear a piece of music you really appreciation... But there are different levels of love, because there are different levels of appreciation, because there are different levels of understanding... It is rather easy to understand a piece of music... It's a little harder to understand, appreciate, and love all of life's experience... It is our continued lack of understanding, and support of our ego, and our continued judging, right or wrong, big and small, good and bad that keeps this energy from coming to surface and healing us… This is not just any energy it is an intelligent energy… It is God's computer inside you running your body… This is why we need to reboot the system now and then… This is why we should meditate...

@Tobeasone,
A slightly less warm and fuzzy interpretation of what happened...

You were experiencing something new and enjoyable this your attention was drawn from your back pain. Watch him all day, every day and I guarantee your warm and fuzzies would waiver.

I have many pets and they are very demanding of me... But I love them so it's ok... It's funny you should bring that up... I have a kind of love/hate thing going with my dog right now... I have lived in a house with dogs all my life and had never had one pick me as their favorite person... 10 Years ago my wife wanted a lap god... I did not... I love dogs and all, but back then I just didn't want it in my lap all the time... To try and make a long story short I now have a long haired chihuahua, that worships the ground I walk on and bark at me and my wife for everything he wants... I think it's God reminding me that you can have peace during violence and confusion... Let me explain...

In 1969 I was living with my parents and I had just gotten home pretty late... It was about two o'clock in the morning and everybody was sleeping... There was this mockingbird go off doing his thing and that was the only sound... This was my mother's favorite bird... God rest her soul! {If there has ever been an angel come down earth it was my mother} I was very blessed...I grab a cassette player shove it in the window and go to bed...

The next day we all listen to this two hour tape... About half way through it, and the mockingbird is still singing... This cat fight starts... Well after they size each other up very vocally for a few minutes they go at it... there knocking over trash cans and everything... After it all winds down and there is peace again all you can here is this bird... and he never missed a beat! I still have this tape...

You are correct here because the mind can't help but go back to judging, calculating and trying to find the answers...
