Initially, the Thirty Years War was precipitated in 1618 by religious conflicts between Protestants and Catholics in the Holy Roman Empire. But the conflict soon spread beyond religion to encompass the internal politics and balance of power within the Empire, and then later to the other European powers. By the end, it became simply a dynastic struggle between Bourbon France and Habsburg Spain. And almost all of it was fought out in Germany. Entire regions were depopulated and destroyed.

Gerald G. Jampolsky, M.D., psychiatrist, and Diane V. Cirincione, businesswoman and lecturer, can help you, as they have thousands, shift your perceptions about life and living. When you undergo this attitudinal shift in your perceptions, wonderful things begin to happen. You become truly fearless. You find safety in defenselessness. Love becomes the guiding force in your life; and your inner, intuitive voice unfailingly helps you make the right choices.

Jerry and Diane show us how to look at every relationship as if there were only two emotions: love and fear. Fear, whose motto is "seek, but never find," is a product of our ego - our negative mind that views life as a constant battle in which we must defend ourselves, pass judgments and condemn. Love, the absence of fear and its accompanying guilt, is a beautiful light symbolizing our connection to a Higher Power.
