CaWa - you misinterpr­­eted my post and substitute­­d your own projection for what what I said. You also used your own anecdotal experience with a few new agers to negate my point. I did NOT espouse MY view of unconditio­­nal love. Rather, I expressed the implicit understand­­ing and practice of it by a very large number of people who follow new age spirituali­­ty and self empowermen­­t "forums."



My insights come after over twenty years of studying this phenomena and being around these communitie­­s and observing what occurs and listening very closely to what is said and how the concept of unconditio­­nal love is actually applied. It is not based on knowing just a few new agers. I have found that the way the concept of unconditio­­nal love is actually deployed by large numbers of the followers and leaders to be abhorrent and cynical. That's why I exposed it in my post. I'm sorry that you projected their cyncial abuse of this concept onto me.
