                   Princples of Attitudinal Healing

The essence of our being is love.
Health is inner peace.  Healing is letting go of fear.
Giving and receiving are the same.
We can let go of the past and of the future.
Now is the only time there is and each instant is for giving.
We can learn to love ourselves and others by forgiving rather than judging.
We can become love finders rather than fault finders.
We can choose and direct ourselves to be peaceful inside regardless of what is happening outside.
We are students of and teachers to each other.
We can focus on the whole of life rather than the fragments.
Since love is eternal, death need not be viewed as fearful.
We can always perceive ourselves and others as either extending love or giving a call for help.

Centers for Attitudinal Healing are located worldwide.  Founded by Dr. Gerald Jampolsky and based on A Course In Miracles.

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

Love and fear are mutually exclusive.  We cannot experience them simultaneously!

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

Midst all the protestions of love around us, I would submit to you, how curious it is that news articles and petitions regarding an inhuman act - inspire accompanying comments of hate and vicious cries for punishment of a "blood lust" nature. 

Indeed, if Jesus is to have said, "Forgive them for they know not what they do".  Where does that leave us in our judgements?

About Me My age is a number, not who I am. I am youthful in thinking, activities and appearance. I love life!!! Since my divorce I have dated and had relationships with men 17 to 40 years my junior. There is no burning need for a relationship, that is very freeing. One must be fully content with being with oneself. We must learn to fly solo before we can fly tandem.
Loyal, gentle, loving, free spirited.
