Dear sons and daughters of planet Earth! I AM SANANDA!
It is with great joy that once again, I am here, and I have the opportunity to bring you messages of love and hope. We have constantly asked you to emanate love. We need to make you understand what this love we speak of is. It is not a difficult thing, nor is it impossible for a human being to feel.
You all came from the union of a man and a woman. Even if you don’t have love for your parents right now, for whatever reason, there is no judgment here. You received love from these two beings at some point in your creation. It may even have been that they could not demonstrate this love, but you were undoubtedly loved and still are.
So I will give this kind of love as an example: a child. Of course, not everyone acts as they should act, being a parent; but let’s talk here about a normal situation. A couple unites through the bonds of love, and from this love, another being is born. This being, genetically speaking, is the product of the genetic union of the father and mother. Now, which soul will incarnate in this being? This soul could already know the soul of that mother, or father, or simply an unknown soul. What is the objective? The evolution of these three souls.
This son or daughter may come to shower love, receive love, and bring only joy. But it can also bring lessons, suffering, learning. And why is everything so different? Because that couple, through that being born, will learn lessons from that new soul, and at the same time, will exercise their roles as mother and father. Everyone who generates a being implicitly needs to exercise their function; otherwise, it also adds to all those karmas that that soul already carries, for this is the fact that there is no escaping.
If a mother and a father beget children, they automatically gain functions that, if not fulfilled, bring karma, lessons to be learned in the future. So we can say that this is a kind of love, but is it true love? Many may say yes, it is true love, and I tell you that it is not. Because this love dresses up in many ways: it can be a careless love, it can be an excessive love, it can be a smothering love, it can be a blackmailing love, it can be an unexpressive love, scarce, lacking.
What am I getting at? Just because a mother and father have a child does not label their unconditional love; it is a type of love. It would be unconditional if raising that being within all the correct precepts of unconditional love. But to do that, it would require a father and mother to live this unconditional love. So, this is not an example as many think, because you don’t act unconditionally with your children; don’t answer me that you do because you don’t.
You think that to love a child is often to overprotect him so that he doesn’t suffer. And on the contrary, you are creating an extremely unbalanced soul because it is not ready for everything the world asks of it. So don’t give me the example of children as unconditional love because it is not.
So let’s talk about another love; let’s talk about the love between two people. But, then, it is an awful example of unconditional love because you charge, you demand, you blackmail, you assault, and I would be here all day long talking about a lot of actions you do between relationships. And then I can stretch this to love between friends, between acquaintances. So love comes in many forms.
Then let’s talk about the love for animals, which you also don’t love unconditionally. I might even say that you are close because when you love your animals, you love them deeply, but it is not yet unconditional love. So let’s talk about the love for the planet. This one, then, no one can say they love unconditionally. To say that, you would have to recreate yourself, live differently, in different ways, with other materials. Many of you think you are too perfect in loving the planet, but you will find something that will break this truth if you look because your world forces you to. There is no way you can love Gaia 100% unconditionally. Because your whole world was created to destroy the planet, you would need the world to change.
So I will go back to what I started this talk about: emanating love. When we say emanate love for your brothers and sisters, emanate love for the planet, you respond to that very quickly. “Oh, I do that every day.” But how is that love that you emanate? Simply saying, “I emanate love to all my brothers and sisters on the planet,” is easy, and it works; I wouldn’t say no. But then I ask you: Are you aware that within this love that you send to your brothers, you are sending love to the murderers, you are sending love to those who act against your society, you are sending love to those who proclaim war, you are sending love to those who kill, to those who rape, to all those who throw your world out of balance? Do you have it embedded within this love?
I assure you, when you say, “I send love to all my brothers,” implicitly within your mind are only those you love, those who walk uprightly, those who act correctly; not the others, of course not. Then many may say, “So what I do has no value?” Of course, it does. Of course, it has value, but what needs to happen in every human being on this planet is for true love to survive, is for true love to be reborn because one day you lived this love. Every existing soul has lived this love, even if it was for a second, but over time has forgotten.
So the grand purpose is to make this love grow, no matter to whom. So it cannot be an empty phrase, simply saying, “I send love to my brothers. It is a beautiful and powerful phrase, but what has come out of your heart? Did that phrase come out of your mouth, mind, or did it come out of your heart? So I would say that when it comes out of your mouth and your mind, it works; you are emanating love effectively; but it is a weak love that will take a long time to add up with all the other love emanated in the same way, to cause an effective result.
So I would say to each one of you who effectively wants to do your part for the planet, brothers, and sisters, thinking about that moment when you say this phrase: “I send love to my brothers and sisters,” instantly think of all people you would never send love to, and see if your heart is still glowing. If your heart is still shining at that moment, repeat the phrase, “I send love to all these brothers too. Then I tell you that you will be quickly making a change on this planet.
Sending love cannot be superficial. It cannot be to the good guys, those blessed by God, as taught by religions. Father/Mother God blesses everyone. Even for those totally outside the path of Light, there is no distinction in Father/Mother God. So, this is another learning here that I am passing on to you. As you emanate love to your brothers and sisters, let all those you would never agree to emanate love pass through your mind, and the list is long. But, if at the end of this list you can say that you continue to emanate love to all of these, then I will tell you that you are beginning to live unconditional love.
He who does not judge, he who does not criticize, he who does not bargain, he who liberates, he who is without demanding anything in return. And I would say much more, you often look up and say you love Father/Mother God, you love me, you love all beings of Light; but you bargain, you make promises. “If you give me this, I’ll give you that.” Is this unconditional love? Do we accept bargaining? Then analyze also the form of love you have for us. To us, you don’t have to give anything. If you love us, it is enough, not for us to do anything for you, because we are not the ones who write your path; you do. We only guide those who want to follow the right path. We help you make the right decisions to realize that path. We do not define anything, and it is not up to us to show you the path to follow. You reap what you sow.
So please don’t bargain with us. You will get what you emanate. If you emanate, you will get it back, good or bad. So please don’t burden us because it is not valid. It is not we who define your path. It is you. So what kind of love do you have for us? Is it that love which is like, “Oh, I’m going to love because then he will help me. No, we don’t bargain. We help those who want to follow the right path; then, we help, not because it was asked for, not because it was negotiated.
When you make requests to us, it reverberates in the universe, and if it is a request that is effective for your evolution, you will evolve. Not because we granted your request; because you created the conditions for it to happen. It is you who fulfill your wishes, not us. It would be very unfair for us to meet the request of one and not another. What do you think?
You ask us for many things, but it depends on what you asked for and how you asked it. But it is not us who make the wish come true, and it is you who create the conditions for it to come true. Understand this. We don’t bargain for anything, and we don’t give preference to anyone anywhere in the universe. Everyone is looked at and treated the same. Never forget that this is unconditional love. Turn your hearts to this kind of love.
And to finish, I’ll say one more thing: the first love that you need to cultivate, feed, and always keep healthy is the love for yourself. Loving yourself is the first love that has to be above everything and everyone. So, yes, above everything and everyone, because he loves himself with respect and doesn’t get carried away by anything that can harm him, will be building an enlightened path. And then those wishes become easier to fulfill because he loves, respects, and helps himself.
So the first person you need to love, no, not God the Father/Mother, not me, not anyone, is yourself. We don’t demand that you love us first, or it wouldn’t be unconditional love, it would be a demand, and we don’t do that. So love yourselves first, then comes the rest; this is the most important teaching, and unfortunately, not many act this way.
