Does this mean that, should one decide to check out of the Hotel, it wasn't love to begin with?

Unconditional Hotel Love...^i^ October 16, 2004 11:16 AM
I don't know why one would want to check out of this hotel. Perhaps they checked into an illusional hotel of love on impulse. This is not the hotel I'm speaking of, this is a hotel that unites us all as one under Heaven and not insecurity do drop inn! This hotel breeds on our true desire to feel and be loved but has no real substance to follow through with our real need. Put all else aside and open your heart to love you want to project as a fellow human being, the same kind of unconditional love you shine on your children only towards a brother or sister of humanity. If you see someone fall help them stand again, if someone is blind help them see. Don't fear turning your Light on for all to see. Some are trapped in darkness and need your Light to find their way to turn their own Light on. The only one's who object live for the dark and Light hurt's their eye's and have no desire to See...Birdman^i^

So the scales are tipped October 16, 2004 11:49 AM
I was thinking on a much smaller scale. Apparently, I do not know of such a person who would walk in the dark as you have described. What a pleasure it is to realize that the people I know walk in love, that we have checked into the Hotel!
Information has tipped...^i^ October 16, 2004 12:22 PM
Darkness as with many term's in our language takes on many image's, even clothed as good. Good Morality also has it's meaning, which is perfect pure Love...^i^
For individuality I call this a one way hotel to focus direction in this Light! We all work stronge joined create what we choose to live and be, Good free, living breathing human beings. Do you know right now their are more good innocent human beings die everyday for Love battling hate in not only Iraq or Afganistan but more so in states of Africa. We need to not be controled by hate but guided by Love in order to join natural human good on our earth that gives us support. I'm talking about unincorporated Spirit. Our only real support for all that is precious in creation that also supports a direction of choice. An Awakening to who we are and the direction to find out we can live in Peace^i^
When we hear our calling (the one thing in life more important than anything else and we focus on that one direction.) we find out how we are ment to be. I'm appalled at all the death and destruction incorporated to motivate human spirit and train people to fear death. To fear is to be under it's power, to it's time and reject fear and you Love Life...Birdman^i^

So you're saying that by walking in the direction of the Light, I can actually 'send the love' all the way to Africa, so long as I am of the same good spirit?
Corporation is a monkey on the back's of all not free...^i^ October 16, 2004 1:44 PM
Towards Light is a choice, thought is a wave that once created travels even when it bounces. Yes our thoughts surround the world we are born of and beyond. I want to save some life in Africa and not only will I send good thought in the direction I want to physically react to make this so...^i^ Thought without action is only thought. You tell your loved one's to see me succeed in saving life in Africa and I hope this sends a chain reaction to other parts of our home, you'll feel the reaction in a great way...Birdman^i^

Africa is a long way from Texas, and I'm sitting here thinking about those people whom I want to help. As you say, "Thought without action is only thought," so what do you propose I do to give my thoughts wings? Are you talking about small, everyday things, or something larger?
Is this how you became known as Birdman: When All Is Seen As Divine, We All Grow Wings?
What do YOU do as "The Real Thing to protect life"?

My refferances were towards the fiction charictors "Indiana Jones and The Good Doctor in On Deadly Ground". I'm born under their kinda sign. As the real thing I fight for life, liberty and individuals pursuit of happyness as adverse power. I would lay my own life down to help others break free from the clouds that cover their eye's as everyday truth. So in the end I stand for Truth Love and Peace to build harmony...Birdman^i^

Beth, I don't speek Cherokee No, but I do study what I can learn as I'm half blooded and I want to know this culture of mine. I know my Great Great Grandfather was a U.S. Marshal in "Indian Territory" Oklahoma. I know our link, but I'm white too so this is what I know other than other Native cultures. I live in a Yup'ik Village on the bottom of sw alaska (Togiak). I would be happy to learn and share but at the same time I have law work my path has taken me on. I can teach massive law and system things, but no Cherokee! I want and am hungry to learn when I can though...Birdman^i^

Unconditional Love is the purest of gifts I think and I remember when I really realized and began to understand unconditional love was when my mother held me in her arms and told me that she wished she could go through the sorrow I was feeling instead of me. And the light came on,she meant this w/all her heart and I was overwhelmed. I was blessed to have unconditional love from both of my parents.They say we learn by example,I am a slow learner but I'm trying! And I hope I didn't get off your topic,thank you for this forum! In peace,and Love M
No you are right on topic and we Love to have you with us...^i^
Love is the topic and I'm happy you were Blessed with Loving Parents. I saw you are from SE Alaska and I'd Love to chat! I put you in my friends group and look forward to a great loving friendship, we'll trade Alaska tails and things...Birdman^i^

The world needs to learn to be more loving. People don't know how to love themselves, because they're told if they do they're being selfish. Real self love is healthy, it shows the person has self repect and a positive self image. Self love helps us take care of ourselves, avoid hurtful situations as much as possible, etc. Real love includes acceptance. When we have genuine love, we accept others as they are, as well as ourselves. Unconditional love is difficult for many, they barely love themselves unless things go as they want. We put conditions on ourselves and everyone else. Real love says, "I love you, even when things don't go my way."
Your right! The old phrase "you can't love another until you love yourself first" comes into play yet, I feel by loving others we can better understand ourselves and apply love to our own being. Thus I don't think one has to love their self first which puts yourself before others but the opposite, if that make sense? You see for me I understood unconditional love as a parent, which in turn got me to put thought into myself and who Birdman^i^ truely is. My stumbing block was to learn to love an enemy...^i^ Anyway I think love is for all (even an enemy) and should be practiced like anything else in life. If we think about it and don't practice it, what good is it? Anyway I love and have loved my enemies for 18 years now and find in the end all they need is a little love...Birdman^i^

I am new but I will say this:Loving yourself is important but sometimes when you love another individual more than yourself it helps you to love thyself.After all what better way to help yourself when you help another.
You can't love others until you understand and love yourself...^i^ This is how we know what love is to share and spread to others, otherwise we might say love but we are just blind leading blind as this saying goes. Love comes from creation as with love all were created equally. You can like another and not like yourself but love is a differant place. Knowing the differance between the two opens the door to love. Love is the pure positive spirit born in us all. As we grow it nurishes us and exposes itself to us as we grow to understanding cause with love we poses more power and energy than we imagine. We need to understand this and use it as intended or it would get away from us as lucifer experianced. Love is our positive nature in bloom. Thank you for your love as combined with ours we will do much more than move mountains...Birdman^i^

You have to put heart and soul into all good movement and this requires who you are as well as the nature of who you are. This is defined as ones true self. We are all unique and one of a kind, this is your real self. Any act you preform be it good or bad requires yourself to preform it and thus cannot be selfless. What I think you confuse with selfless is called unconditional which is adverse to selfish...Birdman^i^

First I extend my hand to all and give thanks for the invitation to come here. Then to all I give Hugs. (((())))
Then I notice that the great barrier in communiction continues in all areas. Words have personal connantations to each of us. The secret is not in learning the dictionary definition of a word, it is in knowing the connontation the speaker intends.
Looking the conversation and trying to visualise the individual connantations, I believe you are both saying the very same thing.

I was enjoying relaxation with a morning cup of coffee and I realized what a great meditation thread this is turning out to be! I have many things to weigh me down as all of you also. Some seem to handle these with seeming ease. While problems are no good we need them to grow in strength and purpose. I was thinking about the disaster victoms and combined with eveyones wonderful words a new veiw opened to me and I feel at ease. The best way to love the good times is to know what bad times feel like and maintain a growing control on our lives. When I think my life is hard I look up and thank God I'm not dealing with so many's around the world, although I'd love to if I thought I could help another. For me now, this is unconditional love and I'm blessed to have it to share with anyone and am blessed when it comes my way from another...Birdman^i^

Love for others is an attitude, a frame of reference, a mirror onto oneself. When love is within the core of a person it tends to be part of whatever is said and done.
There is saying: Squeeze an orange, and orange juice comes out. Squeeze an onion, and onion juice comes out.
Listen to yourself, monitor what you do. Evaluate. Is the love you show conditional (on and off), or is it just there - part of who you are?
Look at your close associates .. friends, family, colleagues. Have you chosen to connect to people who live love?
Conscious choices can be made to choose an openness to love. It takes strength.
Thank you Runningfox Moss for the Invitation January 11, 2005 7:03 PM
Love is staying up with your baby all night. Love is your college daughter still asking for a kiss goodnight. Love is your son taking you to the show with his friends. Love is a smile from a stranger. Love is the first little green bud you spy at the end of winter. Love is waking up and looking at yourself in the mirror and laughing at your bed head. Love is ice cream. Love is giving time to somebody when you are so tired. Love is accepting a compliment. Love is sometimes sad; always comforting. Love is strong; it contains every culture, religion, custom; and hopefully you.
LOVE IS WATCHING YOUR DAUGHTER TAKE YOUR GRAND DAUGHTERS HAND AN JUMP INTO A MUD PUDDLE JUST LIKE THE TWO OF YOU USED TO AND FEELING LIKE A PRETTY GOOD MOM!!! LOVE IS A FOUR GENERATION FOOD FITE....MUCH...LUV...KARIN...
I believe that love is, indeed, a hotel you check into and not out of. The only problem people seem to have is deciding when it is right for them (mentally and physically) to check into that hotel.
(And it also raises the complex question of 'is it even possible for humans to love one person eternally?' As you see in nature, even animals don't have just one mate. Some do and some dont. It is the same with humans, too.)
Love is complex and it is different with each human being. But I suppose if you truly do/did love someone, you would always love them no matter what. Even caring about a person deeply, you couldn't shake that feeling.
Is the wisdom to know when to love and when to be loved.
faithfuless, love, justice, judgment, mercy,truth, compassion, I could go on and on but there is a lot of knowlege to the word love.

Love radiates out first and then it is returned..Love is the only self perpetuating thing that exists .. The more love is given the more love there will be to give..There is a never ending supply of love... Love is the most powerful thing that exists because the Creator is love in the purest form.. Nothing can exist without love..Love is the answer to all the problems in the universe...Love was before the beginning of all that exists and love has no ending....
waking every morning with a smile, gratitude for what one has and the eagerness to share it, loving ones enemies (sure makes them mad though), Loving all that surrounds you, animate or otherwise, Love is being true to yourself and to all that exists within and without your sphere of influence. The giving of ones love freely and with no restrictions, Love is life and is my life. I love totally, and Love you all *grouphug) and yes I am a hugger too
Love is universal. It is like 'pi' (22/7 the mathematical term)...unnatural, irrational but very important!
Love,the word,is,in itself,....a solvent.It dissolves a heart as hard as stone.By a secret alchemy ......by ways and means unknown....love works wonders ....changing people,shaping lives anew................. ....focussing a kindly light upon a hopeless view.It breaks up resentments firmly set."Love" is the power that helps us to forgive....& to forget....the grievances that rankle.Thoughts that hurt & things that smart."Love" is the solvent that dissolves the hardnessof the heart.
Thank you 4 inviting me 2 ur site, there's so much love in here, it's a pity I've not come in b4, everyone is looking 4 love, some find it, some don't, but finding it, is ok, keeping it is the challenge, but no one really gives unconditional love, oh yeah ur parents, family, but not even ur boyfriend gives u an unconditional love, I really wish their was such a thing as unconditional love from someone other than a family member, I've yet 2 find that love, I may never find it, or maybe I did, & let it go away, who really knows, I sure don't.....I'm still looking 4 love........any love will do right about now.....love is love huh? Everyone wants 2 be loved, but not everyone gets it, counts urself lucky if u get unconditional love, u should be the happiest person around......
Every post made sense in it's own way.......I will keep coming in 2 this room alot of love in here Birdman, thank you so much......
Love is never lost if it wasn't in the first place, once you have it you won't loose it...you belong to love. If you look for love in others it isn't there either as if you can't feel love you won't see it. Love is our Eternal connection and shines like a light in our eyes for others to see...it permiates our being and lights us like a light house for others in darkness to focus on and come out of the darkness onto the path of light. This path of light is unconditional love and we grow in it to be the Created Beings our Creator intended. This is the process to unconditional love and when you connect it's yours to share with all around you...Birdman^i^

My soul reflects yours and transcends all doubts. Creating an infinite love our passionate feelings intertwine with the common thread found inside the linings of our hearts. This filament could never be stretched or torn unless the burdens of the outside world were to intervene. Love has no mercy for those who seek it. Let the angels guide us through the labyrinth of our minds. Shadows of ardor silhouette our hearts and drench our souls with elated bliss. Love is a canvas painted by God and simply embroidered with our imaginations.

More Than A word April 07, 2005 3:10 AM
Love is more than a word. It's a deep down feeling in your soul. To give freely of your heart mind and soul. If you give, you get. For those who dont know how to love, we must show them by example.
I believe love is forever too.And I believe love is the answer! I love this thread can't believe it's been so long since i checked in.The more love you give the more you open yourself to receive,it's true,I am learning this lesson more all the time.If you close yourself off to protect yourself,you don't really, you cheat yourself,at least that is what I believe. So go love be safe and kind! treat others as well or better than you would like to be treated.I wish you all love and peace!
Accepting those you love in all their circumstances ....... And two sweet ladies one for the left and the right to cuddle and sleep with after....

To find out what love is, we need to be honest, we musnīt lie. We need to be ourselves, as natural as possible, and unbiassed, and loose, and easygoing, and mellow, and outgoing...A pinch of enlightenment can only adorn and foster the thriving of love...
