Foreword

      by Gerald G. Jampolsky, M.D.,

      author of Love Is Letting Go of Fear

      Is anything more important than learning to experience ourselves as whole and as the essence of Love? I cannot think of anything, and Hugh Prather has written a simple, clear book that presents practical ways to let go of the blocks that interfere with experiencing our natural state of wholeness, joy, peace, and oneness with our Creator. The stories in this book, which are honest and deeply affecting, leave readers with the kind of “Ah ha” awareness that allows for spiritual transformation.

      I have known Hugh and Gayle for more than twenty-two years and cherish the deep, loving friendship that we have. I have witnessed their humanness, trials, errors, and tribulations, and, as for most of us, life has not always been easy for them. But through these years, I have also witnessed their absolute commitment to their spiritual journey and to those who come to them for help.

      As he always does, Hugh writes with humor and clarity about the ordinary, mundane problems that most of us struggle with. While deeply spiritual in tone, his writing tends to stay away from the kind of religious terminology that can separate rather than unite. Above all, this is a practical book, with practical solutions for everyday difficulties.
