Gerald G. Jampolsky Quotes

Love is the total absence of fear, Love asks no questions. Its natural state is one of extension and expansion, not comparison and measurement.

Love is Letting go of fear
Love itself Remains constant
only the particular body from whom we sometimes expect it may change

And in those first fifty years I believed there was a pot of gold at the end of the rainbow, and it was my goal to find that pot of gold. Now I realize that we are the rainbow, the pot of gold is love, and that is what we actually are.

Other people do not have to change for us to experience peace of mind.

When we find ourselves irritated, depressed, angry, or ill, we can be sure we have chosen the wrong goal and are responding to fear.

Today I will give to others only the gifts I want to accept for myself.

To give is to receive — this is the law of Love. Under this law, when we give our Love away to others we gain, and whatever we give we simultaneously receive.

We are always expressing either Love or fear. Fear is really a call for help, and therefore a request for Love.

Our egos motivate us to believe that we will feel more peaceful and happy if we find someone to blame and direct our anger at that person.

The Course states that there are only two emotions: love and fear. The first is our natural inheritance, and the other our mind manufactures.

What we experience is our state of mind projected outward.

In making practical application of the material covered in this book to everyday solutions, it will be helpful to keep the following underlying themes in mind: Peace of mind is our single goal. Forgiveness is our single function and the way to achieve our goal of peace of mind. Through forgiveness, we can learn not to judge others and to see everyone, including ourselves, as guiltless. We can let go of fear when we stop judging and stop projecting the past into the future, and live only in the now. We can learn to accept direction from our inner intuitive voice, which is our guide to knowing. After our inner voice gives us direction, it will also provide the means for accomplishing whatever is necessary. In following one’s inner guidance, it is frequently necessary to make a commitment to a specific goal even when the means for achieving it are not immediately apparent. This is a reversal of the customary logic of the world, and can be thought of as “putting the cart before the horse.” We do have a choice in determining what we perceive and the feelings we experience. Through retraining of the mind we can learn to use positive active imagination. Positive active imagination enables us to develop positive, loving motion pictures in our minds.

Forgiveness is the letting go of the past, and is therefore the means for correcting our misperceptions.

Most of us are confused about what is real.

Do I choose to experience Peace of Mind or do I choose to experience Conflict? Do I choose to experience Love or Fear? Do I choose to be a Love Finder or a Fault Finder? Do I choose to be a Love Giver or a Love Sender? Is this communication (verbal or nonverbal) Loving to the other person and is it Loving to me?
