And so you are going to find that the only reason there is sin, disease, death, lack, limitation, wars, and man’s inhumanity to man on earth, is that God is absent from the earth, and man is trying to run His universe with his own wisdom, with his own knowledge, with his own mental powers, with his own physical powers.

I know this that the Bible is literally true in those passages that present to us universal truth, such as, for instance: I will never leave you nor forsake you. All these passages that show that the Christ is right where we are; that it isn’t the Christ that has forsaken us, it isn’t God who has forsaken us, it’s that we have, in our human sense, become separated from God. We have not agreed that God can set a table before us in the wilderness. We have not agreed that there is nothing impossible to God. And where we have said, “Well, why doesn’t God do these things,” or “Why isn’t the human race better off?” We forget the very logical answer: The world isn’t turning to God; it’s turning to some finite concept of God. Paul called it the God whom ye ignorantly worship, him declare I unto you. Continue reading The Christ (5/5)
1950 First Portland Class Tape 4 Side 1 The Christ By Joel Goldsmith Part 1 of 5 I am speaking from that point of scripture which states that I and the Father are one. That particularly, because throughout the message of The Infinite Way, you’re going to find authority, truth, in scripture for most of this message. The first thing I said was that if we knew the letter of truth correctly, we could build the spirit or consciousness of truth. You remember, the Master said, “If I go not away, the Comforter will not come to you.” And then … Continue reading The Christ (1/5)
From – Tape 344 Side 2 1960 Lausanne Class “Prayer – The Upward Dimension: Earthbound – Landlocked by Joel Goldsmith This Body Is Not Me We are earthbound and we are landlocked until we break out by going upward. Only as our vision goes upward out of this body, out of this world of force, do we get up into a free strata, a free realm, where we’re no longer body locked, landlocked, earthbound, but where we are free souls. You know that all of this world, except the mystics or those on the mystical path, are locked up in … Continue reading Prayer – The Upward Dimension: Earthbound – Landlocked
One of the high points of the Message of The Infinite Way reveals that although appearances may testify to the fact that there are evils outside our own being (that is, evils connected with people and conditions), we, as students, must immediately recognize that we are being tempted to believe that these are external people or conditions. We must realize that we are being tempted to do something to, for, or about them; whereas, all of this is taking place within our own consciousness, and must be met there.

Infinite Way Letter April 1955 By Joel Goldsmith Part 4 of 5 The Price of Truth – continued Based on the Master’s revelation that God is your individual mind, you can understand that there is no limit to your intelligence or your power. Then follow through to the realization that God is your life, and you will understand why you are immortal. As Jesus might have expressed it, “God is Life Eternal.” You must then agree that Life has no ageing process, no changing process, and no death process. In the entire Plan of Life God has not provided one … Continue reading Immortality (4/5)
Infinite Way Letter April 1955 By Joel Goldsmith Part 3 of 5 The Price of Truth “Again, the kingdom of heaven is like unto treasure hid in a field; the which when a man hath found, he hideth, and for joy thereof goeth and selleth all that he hath, and buyeth that field.” (Matt. 13:13) The Roman poet, Ovid, once said: “The most acceptable gifts always are those which the giver makes precious,” and if this be so, no gift could be more precious or more appreciated than Truth. Truth bears a tremendous price. Truth cannot be bought … Continue reading Immortality (3/5)

1961 Maui Work Tape 392, Side 1 “I” SPEAKS UNTO ME By Joel Goldsmith Part 4 of 4 Once a day, in your meditations you will remember, of course, to consciously release God, in the sense of releasing God from any responsibility for the evils of the world—whether they’re the evils that have come nigh your dwelling place or anyone else’s, or the evil of this world. Remember to release God in the sense of realizing consciously that no evil has its source in God, and, nothing that does not emanate from God has power. But, in that same meditation, … Continue reading “I” That Speaks On To Me (4/4)
