"Love Answers" applies principles from A Course in Miracles and the Christian Bible to your relationship with your love partner and your children. Love is the heart of all relationships. Sex needs love to give it meaning. Kindness without love is duty without healing. Communication hurts when love is lacking. Families need a love connection to do more than just survive.According to the Course, love is what you are, the spiritual essence of your being, so giving unto others is natural and fulfilling. When you give with a caring heart, you feel love flowing through you and the joining that it brings. That heals your loneliness, and the other person’s too. But to heal, your love must be given without strings.Anger, guilt, and fear block love from your awareness. They blind you to the love within your heart and the love that others give, so you attack and feel empty. Clearly, attack is not the answer, since only love will heal. But you must be at peace to love. How can you find peace? Forgiveness is the way.Forgiveness is not acting kind in spite of your resentment. It is freedom from resentment. With God's help, you can look beyond the shadows of this world to forgive yourself and others. Then, if you are willing, God’s Love will flow through you to them, so that both of you are healed.The author, a licensed psychotherapist, has seen many people rise above their pasts, move beyond addiction, learn new coping skills, and communicate with love. Yet psychology alone is often not enough. The spiritual dimension must be addressed as well. This book focuses on the attitudes and beliefs that enable us to heal.
