When we think we have been hurt by someone in the past, we build up defenses to protect ourselves from being hurt in the future. So the fearful past causes a fearful future and the past and future become one. We cannot love when we feel fear.... When we release the fearful past and forgive everyone, we will experience total love and oneness with all.
Gerald JampolskyFear and love can never be experienced at the same time. It is always our choice as to which of these emotions we want.
Gerald JampolskyPeace of mind comes from not wanting to change other, but by simply accepting them as they are. True acceptance is always without demands and expectations.
Gerald JampolskyTo be consistent in achieving inner peace, we must perceive a world where everyone is innocent.
Gerald JampolskyThere is no right or wrong behavior. The only meaningful choice is between fear and love.
Gerald JampolskyGiving means extending one's love with no conditions, no expectations and no boundaries. . . Peace of minds occurs, therefore, when we put all our attention into giving and have no desire to get anything from, or to change, another person. . . The giving motivation leads to a sense of inner peace and joy that is unrelated to time.
