Every life is a journey and the life of best selling international author, Gerald Jampolsky, M.D., has circled the emotional, psychological, and physical globe many times in previous decades. His numerous, groundbreaking books helped inspire, form, and usher in the genre of Self-Help. He has shown us unique and inspired paths to love by letting go of fear, saying goodbye to guilt, and releasing shame, worry and blame through unconditional love and forgiveness of self and other.
Now we travel with him into the most intimate of his internal journeys. We move with him from militant atheism through an awakening by direct experience. Detailed accounts of his spiritual transformation are chronicled through his never before seen poetry and notes to himself from the early years when the unpublished manuscript of A Course in Miracles was placed in his hands and, in that moment of Divine Grace, his life changed forever.
Personal challenges with money, control, deception, depression, desire and so much more are laid bare in the section, "My Prison of Darkness." "Into the Light" finds another way of looking at the world, and "Love is the Answer" brings truth and light and love and inspiration. He also includes a section of his most important, deeply personal "Spiritual Reminders," which in one or two sentences, provide the essence of a truth he has learned.
He writes: During my spiritual journey, sometimes I found
it difficult to distinguish between the voice of my ego and the Voice of God. I had my ups and downs studying the lessons in the Course. At times, I would awaken in the middle of the night and words would pour from me which reminded me of the beauty,
joy, peace, and safety that we can all experience by accepting God's Unconditional Love. At other times, I awakened to the terror and cries of my ego, and words from my insane mental state flowed from me. I wrote my thoughts in my journals as diary entries and as poems.
A treasure trove of wisdom and insight, these diary entries and poems give us a precious gift from this pioneer in spiritual evolution as he, once again, helps guide us forward via the turf of his own soul.
