The Book of Love: Awaken Your Passion to be Your Higher Self

The purpose of The Book of Love is to show how to strategically use your most difficult relationships to manifest your Christ-self. The term Christ is used in a non-religious, non-denominational way to describe the wholly loving and benign divinity that dwells within us all.

The fastest and most efficient way to begin to recognize self as a loving being is under fire. It s easy, for example, to be loving when things go your way and when the people in your world are pleasing. However, It s not so easy to be loving when others thwart or disappoint you. In these situations, it takes effort to override the automatic impulse to be hateful or sad and to deliberately act with awareness of self as Christ.

Challenging situations and the people who push your buttons are extremely important and useful because they inspire your divinity to emerge. Otherwise, who would bother to do the work? It s a paradox. We all want to learn about love from loving experiences where others are providing the love to us, but the only real way to learn about love is by providing the love that s missing. This is the essential task at hand.

The Book of Love gives the reader six powerful, practical and easy tools for overriding the impulse to be hateful or sad and for acting as a loving being, no matter what. They include harmlessness, forgiveness, gratitude, peace, communion and asking for what s wanted. Use of these tools automatically strengthens the connection to God and restores the reader s awareness of his or her own irrefutable, immutable goodness. Awareness of goodness is essential for a happy and wholesome life experience.

Ideas from The Book of Love are drawn from the universal principles in A Course In Miracles, also known as ACIM or The Course. A Course In Miracles is the path to God without religion. It s not necessary to be familiar with A Course In Miracles to read or appreciate The Book of Love.
