Practice the Law of Love
This weeks quote comes from the book "Love is letting go of Fear" by transformationalist writer Gerald G. Jampolsky, M.D. I first read this book 24 years ago when I stumbled upon it while I was working in the city library back home in Nebraska. I'd had my own copy for several years and in the shuffle of multiple moves I'd lost it. I was thrilled to recenlty find a copy on the shelf at Borders Books and I snapped it right up. It was like meeting an old friend again! Here's a quote from Lesson 1 All that I give is Given to Myself:
"To give is to receive is the law of love. Under this law, when we give our Love away to others we gain, and what we give we simultaneously receive. The law of Love is based on abundance; we are completely filled with Love all the time, and our supply is always full and running over. When we give our Love unconditionally to others with no expectations of return, the Love within us extends and joins. So by giving our Love away we increase the Love within us and everyone gains."
I have literally changed my life through practicing the law of love. I am a firm believer in this principal. When I give I receive as much if not moreso than the recipient. I am 100% invested in the process of reciprocity that is central to the evolution of the short time our souls spend on this earth.
I was so moved by this philosophy that I created this powerful reminder on a tee shirt for my collection of positive message tees for women, Words to Live By Tees.
How are you practicing the law of love in your own neck of the woods?
Remember, time is short. Do your happy dance. Enjoy life!

My motto has always been love others as you wish to be loved... good article :)
This is similar to the concept of treating others as you would have them treat you. Love is the most basic of laws for living a full and complete life. Good advice.
Yes, ami, reciprocity is an essential component of our personal development. Thanks for stopping by and adding to the conversation!
Thank you for that wonderful article. Love others as you would love yourself.

Thanks for the wonderful article! If you can't love yourself, you can't love others properly. Another book I should check out.

A quote that comes to mind, "You can GIVE without LOVING, but you cannot LOVE without GIVING". Indeed, we have to PRATICE the law of love. Not just say, "I love you". To have Love is to GIve Love, your exactly right. Many people have perverted the idea of LOVE. I am glad that you have made these points clear and precise.
Hi MicheMoz!
Thank you for your kind words. I love that "you can give without loving, but you cannot love without giving." Thank you for sharing!
Stop by again soon,

Synchronicity is so interesting...! I had just heard about this book a few weeks back and I had forgotten to write it down in my wish list. But, I have kept repeating that phrase to myself, and to others..."love is letting go of fear." I was just talking to a male friend of mine who is fed up with "playing games" with women he is dating, or trying to date. I told him that "love is letting go of fear..." fear that you will get hurt, or rejected, or embarrassed. That is why we play the games we play in relationships. THANK YOU for reminding me I need to pick up this book!
Hi radiantruby! Glad to be a part of the synchronicity vibe! Thansk for stopping by!

I really have enjoyed your other blog posts and this one is no exception. It really does seem the more love you give the more you get. What a wonderful thing!
I could not agree more and not just on the love front. I believe strongly in the three-fold law: everything you do, be it good or bad, comes back to you three-fold. If you trust in this, you will go far. Give only good and good will be what is received. This is true in love and friendship and everything else in life.
This is so true. It's the age-old adage, "Do unto others as you would have them do unto you," but it adds on the important principle of not expecting anything in return. When you give fully of yourself to others and don't expect them to gain anything by doing so, you find true fulfillment and meaning in life.
