This is a excerpt from the Study Guide that is developed to support the series Discovering the Secrets of Consciousness. When you sign up for this series you will receive the study guide and see it develop during the series.

Introduction

In this series we use the tapes and books of Joel Goldsmith to come to the experience that is pointed at, offered by and invited to, by Joel and by Jesus Christ of Nazareth in the New Testament. 

As you know we also moved on from our human experience to catch glimpses of the true Nature of our Being. You could not have started the Infinite Way without some stirring inspiration of Spirit. In your new experiences you might come in touch with science, medical science and psychology to name a few. This in order to discover or objectify what actually is going on with you on your new path. Whether or not this intervention of science started by your request or that of your ‘surrounding’ relatives.

Noetic Science

There is a field of science that has as its main focus to intellectually support the new spiritual and mystical experiences with scientific research.  This has been named Noetic Science. It attempts to provide intellectual support that the Infinite Way principles you live by are being explored and are attempted to be validated using modern scientific methods, encouraging new insights and an even deeper commitment to your inner work.

Discovery of the first secret: The Subjective Experience of Singularity

In this series we use scientific statements as a starting point of our Infinite Way discovery of the Secrets of Consciousness.

Subjectivity is a Valid Lens of Inquiry: Noetic science asserts that subjective, first-person experience (feelings, intuition, inner visions, mystical experiences ) is a valid source of knowledge (that should be studied scientifically, complementing objective, third-person observation.)

Joel Goldsmith shares:

“Every spiritual idea realized in your consciousness will find manifestation and expression. Not that the manifestation is external to you, but it becomes an object or expression of subjective unfoldment. This is a law, a spiritual law: 

In the degree that your consciousness approaches that of John, the beloved Disciple, you are able to grasp the vision of spiritual life and its spiritual formations. You then discern “the temple not made with hands”-the spiritual body, health and wholeness. The God that controls your destiny is your consciousness. You might say that it is divine Consciousness or divine Mind, and it would be true, but putting it that way, you are apt to think of it as something outside of or external to yourself. One of the great factors in the failure of men is the belief that God is something other than their own being, and therefore, they are looking to something outside themselves to do or achieve for them. Your whole existence is reconstructed by your consciousness of good”.

Joel Goldsmith in ‘Spiritual Interpretation of Scripture: Spiritual Development, Acropolis Books.

Deep Insight

Deep insight here is this, when Joel says: 

“One of the great factors in the failure of men is the belief that God is something other than their own being, and therefore, they are looking to something outside themselves to do or achieve for them”.

This supports the idea that the nature of spiritual experience is subjective. It starts with you. It starts with you going within, you meditating. It starts with your mystical experience. It starts with you feeling the stirring of Spirit within you. It is no longer dependent on an outside word.

Another Deep Insight

In other words your experience of Oneness is the expression of it, even in this world. You receive this experience for yourself. That is the healing. You don’t have to look for the effects of your experience in ‘this world’ since you just expanded your experience to other dimensions of Reality, beyond space and time. You experience your individual,  subjective experience of Singularity (One Source).

Will it have effects in your 3 dimensional experience of yourself? It might. It might not. But what concern would that have to you if you experienced Communion with Source.

Miracles with Jesus Christ of Nazareth

John 5:

The Healing at the Pool on the Sabbath

1After this there was a feast of the Jews, and Jesus went up to Jerusalem. 2Now there is in Jerusalem by the Sheep Gate a pool, in Aramaic called Bethesda, which has five roofed colonnades. In these lay a multitude of invalids—blind, lame, and paralyzed. One man was there who had been an invalid for thirty-eight years. When Jesus saw him lying there and knew that he had already been there a long time, he said to him, “Do you want to be healed?” 7The sick man answered him, “Sir, I have no one to put me into the pool when the water is stirred up, and while I am going another steps down before me.” 8Jesus said to him, “Get up, take up your bed, and walk.” 9And at once the man was healed, and he took up his bed and walked.

John 3:3 Jesus answered him, “Truly, truly, I say to you, unless one is born again he cannot see the kingdom of God.” 

Transformative Principles

• The acceptance of the subjective experience of singularity is the basis of living your mystical life.  
• The demonstration of the subjective experience of singularity is the fulfilment of the Law. 
• The Perfection of God’s Creation in a direct experience in Self expression is what a healing consciousness is. It recognizes Itself in everyone and everything.

Poetic Inspiration

At the edge of my vision

The Source surrounds me with its protection, 
guardian of my breath,
its pure breath liberating my perception.
Guardian of my Sacred garden, 
its floral seed sets the rhythm of my light steps.

And, my Consciousness, like music, opens in a golden silence.

In this Clarity, its embrace becomes golden.

I hear the echo of its voice, the song of the beyond.
The whispers carried by the wind cease.

I listen to the
beat of the Heart, the heart of the Universe:
I am the communion where experience becomes Consciousness.

A luminous shiver runs through my memory.
A silent song traverses a rediscovered symphony.

A melody where words in colors illuminate:
I Am the Source where I am one with my Father

Poem by Michele.
