Love Is Letting Go of Fear 
asked by ibook on November 29, 2006 2:54 AM
An inspirational classic since 1979, LOVE IS LETTING GO OF FEAR remains one of the seminal works in the transpersonal movement. Psychiatrist Dr. Gerald Jampolsky's timeless message may be timelier today than ever: the only thing that stands between us and the awesome energy of love is fear. To live without fear, we must stop analyzing it, stop agonizing over it, stop fighting with it, and simply . . . let it go. How? By releasing our paralyzing preoccupation with the past and our chronic apprehension over the future—which is, needless to say, easier said than done.
To help us in this difficult journey from fear to love, Dr. Jampolsky presents tools in the form of 12 daily, progressive lessons for personal transformation. These crucial lessons work through the concepts of giving, forgiveness, cause and effect, perspective, reactive behavior, victimhood, judgement, living in the present, releasing the past, visualization, freedom to choose, and taking responsibility. In the 25 years since it was first published, LOVE IS LETTING GO OF FEAR continues to change lives with its frank, thought-provoking, and powerful response to overcoming life's greatest challenges.

Well I am unable to translate my view about the book to words. There are no suitable words in my vocabulary for it. However I shall be very brief and to the point. It is the best practicle book on Love I have read in my life.Mr.Jampolsky is talking through his heart about the subject. I have changed my perception about the people after reading the lovely book. My relationship between my wife and other members of the family is changing every day for the good. I am accepting them as they are. I have stopped thinking about the past and trying to live the present. Also I have been successful in making friends with so many with whom I have had very bad relationship.In short even after 60 years I am chaning to experience the beauty of LOve. Fear is vanishing from me day by day. I am going to present this book to my daughter who is a Good Shephered Nun. I require a another book which I shall order when I have money.
Thank you

A Course in Miracles is my only skeptical part of this book. I do not know this program, but from the evidence I get in the book..I doubt its background in Jesus Christ. But don't quote me for sure. I can say I enjoyed reading this book, it makes sense. It was uplighting and inspiring. Worth the read but be cautious of cult practice.

This is a great book that is filled to overflowing with insight, depth, and understanding that truly, Love is the answer. I mean, we've all heard this but we often feel that there has got to be something more...but what could be more than Love?
We somehow think (and feel) that Love is lightweight, that it is merely a sentiment, that it has no real substance. But when we reduce the signifigance of Love, we reduce the signifigance of Life itself. I have heard it said that where there is Love, there is Life and where there is Life, there is Love and that is so very True. When we allow Love to empower us, strengthen us, and guide us we are, truly, living our lives.
So how do we go from fear to Love? By choosing. We choose Love. We choose empowerment. We choose strength. We choose to tap into the Real Power that is always at the center of our being because when we begin to choose from a more enlightened perspective, we begin to remember that not only is Love ever present and ever available, Love is who and what we are.
I remember when I first heard the statement that I was Love made manifest. I wanted to cry my eyes out. There was a part of me that wanted to scream and yell and deny that this was true, but there was a bigger part of me that deeply remembered that this was somehow True; that all this stuff I had "made up" about Life was simply made up...it was never really real because Love and only Love is real.
This book will help you to see a little more clearly, breathe a little easier, and feel a little calmer. Of course, you must be willing to take the information and translate it into a daily practice and you can...I can...we can...and when we transform our lives through Love, the world will transform, as well and then, finally, we can really begin to live.
