About Out Of Darkness Into The Light: A Journey Of Inner

Product Description A compelling account of the journey from severe depression, guilt, and near alcoholism to a true healing of the mind and spirit—from a bestselling author and noted psychiatrist "If there is hope for one like me, who thought that he was beyond all help, and who believed he had more guilt, more shame, and a greater feeling of inadequacy than anyone else in the world, then rest assured that there is hope for you." Millions of men and women have had their lives transformed by Dr. Gerald Jampolsky's pioneering work in the field of attitudinal healing and by his bestsellers Love Is Letting Go of Fear, Goodbye to Guilt, and Teach Only Love. In his most important book, Dr. Jampolsky tells his own deeply moving story of inner struggle and personal transformation. As we share the story of his passage from sorrow to joy, Dr. Jampolsky sheds new light on the path to personal happiness, on letting go of fear and guilt, and on escaping the "Fifty Ego Defenses" that keep us in darkness. Here is a book of advice and inspiration from a man who has been there and back—a road map to guide you to a life of peace, fulfillment, and lasting hapiness. "A life-enhancing book written from the only perspective Gerry Jampolsky knows—total honesty and unconditional love. I loved every page."—Wayne Dyer, author of Your Erroneous Zones Excerpt. © Reprinted by permission. All rights reserved. What is this cancer inside me? The fiery anger that lingers, In its thin disguise … The coldness and the brittleness That comes from my pores At a moment’s notice.   Could it all be fear, And nothing but fear? Is there no roadmap That can lead me to peace And freedom?   Can I really feel Whole and at one By simply crossing The bridge of forgiveness?   Why does something That seems so simple Bring out my greatest Resistance?   Obstacles, obstacles, obstacles. Is that all there is to life— A series of obstacles Separating me from others?   When will I awaken to The full awareness That all obstacles Between myself and others Are self-imposed?   I have manufactured them Through my own fear of love And my own fear of God.     No one ever gave me a roadmap for how to be happy in life. I never received a map for being a happy child, or for being an adolescent who was not in conflict, or for being a peaceful adult, or for being a successful parent, or for growing old gracefully. Whatever roadsigns I saw seemed to indicate conflicting directions.   If there is a recurrent theme in my life, it is that I thought I was going somewhere, only to travel a long way and end up exactly where I started. I know that I am not alone in this: many have had similar experiences in their lives. For me, the same frustrations kept reappearing. Fear, stress, unhappiness, and feeling unloved were my constant companions.   It is as if the ego keeps telling us that we must search in life but never find what we are seeking. For me, breaking habits and old behavior patterns seemed almost impossible. Life was filled more with despair than fun. And try as I might, I could not find the way to free myself from going around in circles. I had no roadmap for happiness.   But the truth is that even if we were presented with the best roadmap in the world, it would be useless unless we had a clear sense of where we are now and where we want to go. For the roadmap to be effective we must have a concept of who and what we truly are. We must know the purpose of our life’s journey and believe in it.   These are concepts that I, like so many others, took for granted most of my life, never questioning very deeply, never looking closely at what I needed to do to give my life coherence. Caught up in my fragmented and sometimes chaotic life, I often did not find the time to look at these concepts with any depth and clarity.   Regardless of how it looked to the outside world, I never felt that my goals were consistent. I think I share a common
