Here is what he writes about unconditional love:
Unconditional love is inherent in our consciousness. We become aware of this, and of the ways in which we are all one, only as we learn to recognize the boundaries of our individual selves. We become aware of how we're one with all others in the universe only when we can see the differences that make us think and feel we are separate. Thus, your sense of separation is like the outward bound part of your journey home.
The full realization of one's self and one's value allows for the dissolution of conditional boundaries, which include our fears, our beliefs, our desires, and the state of our bodies. When these boundaries are dissolved, self and nonself come into resonance and become one. This boundless love has the capacity to resonate with all others--that is, it has a universal "frequency." In this respect, unconditional love expresses the innate harmony of the universe, the common chord that is heard in every individual song, be it the song of the atom or that of the entire universe.
Because unconditional love is inherent in the consciousness of every person, we all have had flashes, moments, or even extended periods when we experienced it. These flashes of bliss often come to us during significant events in our lives, such as a birth, the death of a loved one, the overcoming of a life-threatening illness, or a near-death experience.
For most of us, our awareness of unconditional love evolves as we grow to value and love ourselves; then we begin to relate and resonate with others through that new set of vibrations--a chord of self-value. When we relate from our sense of value and self-love, we are able to connect with the authentic self of other people, a self that is beyond the level of personality. With this resonance of unconditional love, we say "yes" from the heart.
