“It is our prayer that as we heal our own minds of fear and negativity the world we see will be healed along with us” -Gerald Jampolsky M.D.

In the timeless book Love is letting Go of Fear, Gerald Jampolsky, M.D. illustrates the art of  personal transformation through letting go of the past, staying focused on the present  and moving confidently toward your future.

This book is a must have for anybody interested in learning how to walk in gratitude. While reading this little treasure for the third time … It occurred to me that the book is 30 years old and many of you may have not heard of this poignant work of love.

Here us a brief look at each simple, yet profound lesson:

All that I give I give to myself

- To give is to receive is the law of love. When we give our love away to others we gain and what we give we simultaneously receive.

Forgiveness is the key to happiness

-Inner peace can be reached only when we practice forgiveness.

I am never upset for the reason I think

-Most of us have a belief system based on past experiences and on perceptions from the physical senses. This belief system presumes that the outside wold is the CASUE an we are the EFFECT.

I am determined to see things differently

- The world we see that seems so insane may be the result of a belief system that isn’t working. It is our memory of fear and pain that make us so vulnerable. The vulnerability makes us want to predict and control our future at all costs.

Giving up Attacking thoughts

-Many of us feel  at times that we are hopelessly trapped in the world we see. If we remember that it is our thoughts that make up the world, we can change them.

I am not he victim of the world I see

Do you ever feel like you are a victim of the world in which you live? When we allow ourselves to think that we live in a unfriendly environment where we fear being hurt of victimized, we suffer. To be consistent in achieving inner peace , we must perceive a world where everyone is innocent.

Today I will judge nothing

-Have you given yourself the opportunity of going through an entire day accepting yourself and everyone without judgement?

The instant is the only time there is

-I am determined to live today without past of future fantasies. I will remind myself: This instant is the only time there is.

The past is over it can touch me not

-When we think we have been hurt  by someone in the past, we create defenses to keep ourselves from being hurt in the future. By forgiving and letting go of the past, I free myself from the painful burdens I have carried into the future.

I could see peace instead of this

-Most of us go through life with a belief system that our happiness is largely determined by the events in our environment and reactions of other people to us. We need to instruct out minds to change our perceptions of the world and everything in it.

I can elect to change all thoughts that hurt

-Free will and choice are inherent attributes of the mind. WE can choose to let go of everything but our loving thoughts.

I am responsible for what I see

-I choose the feelings experience, and I decide upon the goal I would achieve.  And everything that happens to me, I ask for, and receive as I have asked.

This treasured little book can be devoured in an hour and savored for a life time. Pick up a copy Here at Amazon for under $10.

Enjoy!

    Fantastic review. If I could get rid of one emotion that my clients cling to it is fear. It is amazing and heartwarming how much happier and fulfilled people can be when they shed the cloak of fear.

    Suddenly they can breathe, walk taller and move forward confidently. Life is much more gratifying when we are not bound by things that hold us back.

    Keep up the great work,

    Guy

    thanks for the review…

    this book appeared in my hands about a month ago…
    it’s a great SIMPLE text on practical spiritual principles that have lead me to the perfect love.. you know the kinds that casts out all FEAR!!

    also, recently i read an emmet fox book.. that said the bible has the wrong word for fear in the old testament.. it should really be REVERENCE.. not Fear..

    in other words.. REVERENCE of God is the beginning of all understanding…

    the most repeated message in old and new testament
    FEAR NOT!!

    thanks again..
    BTW… i am approaching retirement.. less than 4 years away and looking at different Second career options.. what path did you follow to become a certified life coach? Have you found joy in that work?
