"The real joy of life is in its play. Play is anything we do for the joy and love of doing it, apart from any profit, compulsion, or sense of duty. It is the real joy of living".

A blog about Inner Happiness, Consciousness and Freedom!
"What can I tell you about happiness that you don’t already know at the very core of your being? You may have ‘forgotten’ perhaps, as I have. But let’s remember, together. Let's return to the original Self we long for - that Self that is forever at peace, forever joyous, limitless, powerful, abundant and free! And as we do, let's become Conscious Creators, Bold Adventurers, creatively exploring infinite possibilities as we flow in this enchanting journey we casually call Life!"

Reflections on Love Part 1
The term ‘unconditional love’ is a redundancy for there is only one kind of love and it is by nature, unconditional. This one love is expressed in many different forms, physical and non-physical, interpersonal and transcendent.
Eros, agape and philia are words that express these different forms of love but it is the one love that is present in all forms.
The unconditional nature of love, which is the nature of god, which is our fundamental, unconditioned nature is a rather difficult prospect for most of us. We consider it an ideal of the highest order, and indeed it is, but its practical application troubles us. It is especially troublesome because many of us mistakenly believe that we have experienced unconditional love. We think that we have witnessed it particularly in the relationship between a mother and child.
I am not so sure. I believe that the mother-child relationship does provide, in comparison to all other relationships, the most frequent and closest approximation to ‘unconditional love’ but I believe that it too falls victim to the vicissitudes of conditioned existence.
In fact, when I have examined my own relationship with my mother and my children and when I have been invited to help others explore their relationship with their mothers and children in the mentoring journey, we have discovered that what we believed was ‘unconditional love’ was not.
Not a pleasant discovery, perhaps, but a necessary one. Necessary because, after the initial shock and sense of deflation, we are finally free to probe the true meaning of love. Or at least, we begin to recognize what it is not.
