The cross is a clear indicator of God's unconditional love in that there is no way to earn one's way to heaven, one must simply believe. The term is not explicitly used in the Bible, and advocates for God's conditional or unconditional love, using different passages or interpretations to support their point of view, are both encountered due to the different facets of God's nature. If someone chooses to believe in this, commonly called "The Gospel", then Jesus' price on the cross pays for their sins so they can freely enter into heaven, and not hell. This comes from the concept of God sending His only Son, Jesus Christ down from heaven to earth to die on a cross in order to take the punishment for all of humanity's sins. In Christianity, the term "unconditional love" can be used to indicate God's love for a person irrespective of that person's love for God. Emotion and empathy ( compassion) are descriptives of love, therefore it supports the idea that the neural occurrences are evidence of unconditional love. The procedure found part of the amygdala and nucleus accumbens were responsive on levels of emotion and empathy. Using the fMRI procedure, mothers watched a video of themselves playing with their children in a familiar environment, like home. Īlong with the idea of "mother love", which is commonly associated with unconditional love, a study found patterns in the neuroendocrine system and motivation-affective neural system. Through the associations made between the different regions, results show that the feeling of love for someone without the need of being rewarded is different from the feeling of romantic love. The other four active parts activated during the unconditional love portions of the experiment were different, showing certain brain regions associated with rewarding aspects, pleasurable (non-sexual) feelings, and human maternal behaviors. Three of these were similar to areas that became active when it came to romantic love. Seven areas of the brain became active when these participants called to mind feelings of unconditional love. In a study conducted by Mario Beauregard and his colleagues, using an fMRI procedure, they studied the brain imaging of participants who were shown different sets of images either referring to " maternal love" (unconditional love) or " romantic love".
There has been some evidence to support a neural basis for unconditional love, showing that it stands apart from other types of love. potentialities." For Frankl, unconditional love is a means by which we enable and reach human potential. Furthermore, by his love, the loving person enables the beloved person to actualize.
No one can become fully aware of the essence of another human being unless he loves him. Frankl writes: "Love is the only way to grasp another human being in the innermost core of his personality. In Man's Search For Meaning, logotherapist and Holocaust survivor Viktor Frankl draws parallels between the human capacity to love unconditionally and living a meaningful life. Īlso, Abraham Maslow supported the unconditional love perspective by saying that in order to grow, an individual had to have a positive perspective of themselves. Rogers stated that the individual needed an environment that provided them with genuineness, authenticity, openness, self-disclosure, acceptance, empathy, and approval. Humanistic psychologist Carl Rogers spoke of an unconditional positive regard and dedication towards one single support. However, the individual may exhibit behaviors that are unacceptable in a particular situation. Unconditional love separates the individual from their behavior. a person may consider that they have a duty to stay with someone) unconditional love is an act of the feelings irrespective of will. Unconditional love should not be confused with unconditional dedication: unconditional dedication or "duty" refers to an act of the will irrespective of feelings (e.g. Conditional love requires some kind of finite exchange, whereas unconditional love is seen as infinite and measureless. In conditional love, love is "earned" on the basis of conscious or unconscious conditions being met by the lover, whereas in unconditional love, love is "given freely" to the loved one "no matter what". Some authors make a distinction between unconditional love and conditional love.
