Overview

In the writing of this book, I am overwhelmed with the compound feelings of loneliness, despair, disappointments and other such negative emotions that have been expressed to me over many years by those who came into my study for counseling. It would seem that the entire world is hungering and thirsting after human love, companionship, and, mostly, compassion. Perhaps this is a true evaluation of the situation. It is not at all unusual, however, that these dear souls may be looking for the wrong thing; hence, they start from the wrong premise. The premise of loneliness, lack, and liability can never lead to fulfillment and satisfaction.
"Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself" is a dictum that often befuddles us, since we fail to see the premise for this dictum. In order to love another as oneself, one must begin by truly loving oneself. This universal Law of Love Divine is so apparent that it often escapes one’s attention. This book proposes that it is necessary—and possible—to gain a greater sense of love for oneself, so that we may then truly love another.
Another anomaly appears in the equation of human love. And this is the fact that we often outline what will, or will not, be acceptable to us in the form of companionship, ac¬cording to human and material evaluations of another person. We call this prejudice. Prejudice based upon race, color, creed, gender identity, age or any other material yard¬stick will nearly always prevent us from attracting right companionship to ourselves.

As you may be aware, from the reading some of my other books, you and I have a three-fold body comprised of the spiritual, mental and physical. Our spiritual body is always at the point of perfection, perfect being. Our mental body is in the stage of Becoming, through the modification of our thoughts, feelings and memories. Our physical body is at the point of doing, manifesting and experiencing.
