Attitudinal Healing Principle #11:
Since love is eternal, death need not be viewed as fearful.
On December 29, 2020, Jerry Jampolsky, the founder of Attitudinal Healing, died. Jerry was 95 years old.
Jerry developed the 12 tenets of Attitudinal Healing and the first Attitudinal Healing Center in Tiburon, CA, working with children who had life-threatening illnesses. Along with his talented and dedicated wife, Diane Cirincione, Jerry has influenced people all over the world in the powerful healing concepts of Attitudinal Healing for inner peace, forgiveness, and love.
As a student of a set of books written by Helen Schucman, entitled “A Course in Miracles”, and influenced by the 12-steps of AA, Jerry set forth to draw from the wisdom of these philosophies.
He extracted simple abstract ideas that one could apply to their various forms and beliefs of love and fear for inner awareness and wholeness.These guides have set the platform for fully living and training one's self to let go of painful, fearful thoughts; to choose peace over conflict and love over fear.
In 1989, my mother, Aeeshah Clottey, with her husband Kokomon Clottey, co-founded the Attitudinal Healing Connection in Oakland. Their quest? To use Attitudinal Healing to address the issues of racism, poverty and violence. She met Jerry in 1975 at A Course in Miracles Introduction at JFK University. I was six years old when I met Jerry. I remember his warmth, light and beaming smile.
My mother and Jerry had since developed a deep relationship influenced by these tools for letting go and healing. She held his hand and joined with Diane, Kokomon and a global community, breathing life into Attitudinal Healing, sparking the miracles of creativity and making an indelible impact on humanity.
The powerful concepts of Attitudinal Healing, originally developed by Jerry Jampolsky, have taken a life of their own. His work and teachings have set forth a legacy.
Thank you, Jerry! You will continue to live and be remembered through your dream.
