The Essence of Our Being is Love

From the book Change Your Mind, Change Your Life
- Gerald G. Jampolsky, M.D. and Diane V. Cirincione

The first principle is based on the premise that our true identity is as spiritual, not physical, beings and that our essence is love.

As simple as this sounds, there is part of us that resists it. This resistance comes from our believing that we should fear love and not trust it. It tells us that we must believe that we are only bodies, born to die, and that the death of the body is the end of us.

This principle, telling us that the essence of our being is love, is the key to Attitudinal Healing.
