4.0 out of 5 stars Forgiveness is the Miracle, January 14, 2001

By

This review is from: Love Is Letting Go of Fear (Paperback)

Dr. Jampolsky has applied the principles of A Course in Miracles to "lessons for personal transformation." He suggests a daily practice of relaxation, active imagination, application, and review of each lesson, repeating the program until the lessons are part of your life. These are powerful practices that can rid us of wasting energy on fears, judgments, and grievances; freeing us to live in the present with joy, openness, and wholeness. When we hold onto grievances we tend to use the past to predict a future in which we must be cautious and avoid being hurt. In contrast, giving love to others unconditionally will bring us the love that we all need. Forgiveness in this light does not mean that we tolerate behavior we don't like; it means correcting a misperception that we have been harmed; it means noticing our thoughts that create a fearful external world, choosing instead to see love in the world and to appreciate our common bond with others. "The world we see that seems so insane may be the result of a belief system that isn't working," Jampolsky writes. "Our old belief system assumes that anger occurs because we have been attacked. It also assumes that counterattack is justified... If we are willing, it is possible to change our belief system. However, to do so... means letting go of any investment in holding on to fear, anger, guilt or pain."

4.0 out of 5 stars This book is a gift for you and those you care about, July 4, 2000

This review is from: Love Is Letting Go of Fear (Paperback)

This is one of those books that you can pick up and flip to any page and find something soothing, inspirational and practical. In years past I used it almost like a sleeping pill. I would be riled up about some situation and inevitably, Jampolsky's simplistic, rational, truthful words would reach my heart and calm me to sleep.

All I can say for sure is that my life works better when I apply the philosophies of this book. It's extremely simple to follow yet so profound. I find it goes right to the heart of the matter.

5.0 out of 5 stars An excellent book of love and healing., November 15, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Love Is Letting Go of Fear (Paperback)

This book is the very first source by Dr. Jampolsky that I ever read. I had the opportunity to attend a workshop in 1998 that Dr. Jampolsky facilitated ,along with his lovely wife Diane. These two human beings are the most loving people I have ever had the pleasure of meeting. They presented a message that brought me out of despair to a life of joy, hope, and expectancy. My Higher Power used this awesome message of peace and hope to get me in recovery for a myriad of addictions. I have replaced self-loathing and bitterness with unconditional love for myself and others.(Of course, I fail everyday but I never give up trying to be God's light in the world.) THIS BOOK IS A MUST READ FOR EVERYONE IN ANY KIND OF RECOVERY PROGRAM. I am very grateful to my Higher Power for allowing our paths to cross in life.
