InnerSelf Daily Inspiration September 5, 2026 Freedom From An Attachment to Guilt  and Fear of Love  By Gerald G. Jampolsky, M.D. All we need to do in order to free ourselves of pain, grief, depression, guilt, and other forms of fear is to undertake the search for innocence. — Gerald G. Jampolsky, M.D. Our present thoughts and choices are the sole determiner of our present experience. Because this statement is so foreign to how we usually approach life, I would like to give you an illustration from my own life. After I was introduced to A Course in Miracles, I began to realize how attached to guilt I was. I became aware that this attachment caused me to fear love, which is the same thing as fearing the present. Many of you may assume that I should have felt guilty since I had had an affair with a married woman. But guilt can't alter our past behavior or cause us to treat others more lovingly. The cycle of feeling guilty, shifting blame to others, getting angry at the guilt we now see in them, attacking them for their guilt, feeling even more guilty for our attack, and finally punishing our bodies in payment cannot be escaped as long as we believe that guilt is a valid description of anything meaningful. We must make a decision for innocence if we are ever to have consistent mental peace and the resulting bodily peace.

Based on the healing power of love and forgiveness, the 12 principles developed at the center embrace the idea that total giving and total acceptance are crucial to the healing process. Attitudinal healing can lead to harmony, joy, and life without fear. Info/Order this book. Also available as a Kindle edition.
