Toward the experience (2/6)

Wim Haverkamp

Infinite Way Letter 1965 – January Aka – Beyond Words & Thoughts By Joel Goldsmith Part 2 of 6 Toward the Experience   Motive         You might rightly ask, “then what is the good of all this teaching? What is the good of all the years of study of these books?” And I will say to you that the Experience will not come without that. The study, the practice, the living, and the reading are the steps that break down the mortal sense into which we were born, that enable us to “die” to mortal sense and to be “reborn.”         … Continue reading Toward the experience (2/6)

Toward the experience (3/6)

Wim Haverkamp

Infinite Way Letter 1965 – January  Aka – Beyond Words & Thoughts By Joel Goldsmith Part 3 of 6 Toward the Experience That Something      “In all thy ways acknowledge him.” Acknowledge Spirit in all your ways; acknowledge that Spirit is the source of all. Then you will discover that it will not be very long until that acknowledgment dissolves your sins, false appetites, fears, doubts, greeds, lusts, and mad ambitions. The moment you try to dissolve these, you are in psychology, and psychology cannot succeed because it cannot make you other than you are.         Whatever your nature is, … Continue reading Toward the experience (3/6)

Contemplative Meditation (6/6)

Wim Haverkamp

Infinite Way Letter August 1956 By Joel Goldsmith Part 6 of 6 CONTEMPLATIVE MEDITATION What Is Religion?  –  continued         God is the source of all good. In our spiritual Selfhood, we are the children of God, heirs to all the heavenly riches, and it is God’s pleasure to give us the kingdom. To God we can give nothing, but we can accept the grace that flows so abundantly, and we can open out a way for it to flow to others. We must accept this grace, not only for ourselves, but for all.         It is sometimes believed that the health of the … Continue reading Contemplative Meditation (6/6)

Contemplative Meditation (5/6)

Wim Haverkamp

Infinite Way Letter August 1956 By Joel Goldsmith Part 5 of 6 CONTEMPLATIVE MEDITATION What Is Religion?         The following is the text of my second talk given to devotees of Anandashram, on December 9th, 1955:         We have learned that religion has its beginning in India and spread out from India to the East and to the West. Now we ask: What is religion? What is the religion that was given to us in the beginning, when the hearts and Souls of men opened themselves to God for light?         The study of the many scriptures that comprise our spiritual literature reveals that religion is a release—a … Continue reading Contemplative Meditation (5/6)

Contemplative Meditation (4/6)

Wim Haverkamp

Infinite Way Letter August 1956 By Joel Goldsmith Part 4 of 6 CONTEMPLATIVE MEDITATION Be Taught of God Now we have received, not the spirit of the world, but the spirit which is of God; that we might know the things that are freely given to us of God. Which things also we speak, not in the words which man’s wisdom teacheth, but which the Holy Ghost teacheth; comparing spiritual things with spiritual. I Corinthians 2:12, 13 Between the spiritual teacher and student there is a reciprocal spark of receptivity and responsiveness, because always the teacher has something to share … Continue reading Contemplative Meditation (4/6)

The Spiritual Christmas

Wim Haverkamp

From – The Contemplative Life By Joel Goldsmith Chapter 12 P.195 The Spiritual Christmas In the account of the advent of the Christ in the Gospel according to St. Luke, the Christ was born in a manger because “there was no room for them in the inn.” There was no room in the inn, and so the Christ was born in the stable of the inn. Esoterically, the meaning of this is that the human consciousness, which is the place of enjoyment, comfort, and revelry, never has room for the Christ. When there is a sufficiency of supply, health, and … Continue reading The Spiritual Christmas

The Christ On Earth

Wim Haverkamp

From – The 1955 Letters By Joel Goldsmith Chapter 12 – Christmas 1955 P 228          The Christ  on Earth   Occasionally this Divine Spiritual Impulse, the Christ, appears as more pronounced in an individual here and there, but It exists in the consciousness of every individual on the face of the globe. There comes a specific period in the life of each individual when he comes to the place of spiritual annunciation in which the Christ is conceived, nurtured, developed, until, on Christmas Day, the Child is born; or, in other words, the Presence of the Christ is realized. The birth of the Christ … Continue reading The Christ On Earth

Contemplative Meditation (3/6)

Wim Haverkamp

Infinite Way Letter August 1956 By Joel Goldsmith Part 3 of 6 CONTEMPLATIVE MEDITATION The Middle Path – continued Freedom is a quality enjoyed when we have overcome duality by refusing to entertain any sense of iniquity or destruction, or beliefs in a presence or power apart from God. We are clothed and in our right mind when we are clad with the liberty of the Sons of God. As long as there is a sense of duality in an individual’s consciousness he is subject to the discords of the world, but they will not come nigh the dwelling place … Continue reading Contemplative Meditation (3/6)

The Miracle

Wim Haverkamp

From Beyond Words & Thoughts By Joel Goldsmith Chapter 3 P.40 The Miracle This Presence, and not your mind or mine, is the healing agency. When anyone asks me for help, can you understand that the first thing that takes place in me is that my mind stops functioning, and I stop thinking? I think no thoughts of truth. I listen, and that lets the presence and power of God through to the patient; whereas the moment I try to think a thought, even of truth, then I am trying to make thought a power, I am trying to make … Continue reading The Miracle
