The Nature Of God (5/5)

1959 San Diego Special Class Tape 269 Side 1 The Nature of God By Joel Goldsmith Part 5 of 5 Now, illumination isn’t anything of a material nature or even of an occult nature. Illumination really means light, the receiving of light, and light doesn’t mean light in the physical sense but in the mental. It means understanding, awareness. Therefore, when you are illumined, it means only that you have received the actual experience of knowing God’s presence, knowing God’s grace. There is nothing emotional about it, I can assure you. Those who look for emotional experiences not only miss … Continue reading The Nature Of God (5/5)

1959 San Diego Special Class Tape 269 Side 1 The Nature of God By Joel Goldsmith Part 4 of 5 I wrote a book review on a book which was written by a minister in which he said he made experiments with plants and found that prayer would help to grow them and that prayer could be used to destroy them. And you know, of course, that that’s not true. There isn’t one of you here who has any right to believe that because you must know that prayer concerns God. You must know that prayer is an activity that … Continue reading The Nature of God (4/5)

When the realization of God takes place … Continue reading The Nature of God (3/5)

1959 San Diego Special Class Tape 269 Side 1 The Nature of God By Joel Goldsmith Part 2 of 5 Probably one of the reasons that our great Herbert Hoover has reached this magnificent age of 85 in full possession of his faculties and at the very height of his mental capacities and in good physical health is due to the fact that all of his life he has felt that it was a demand upon him personally and upon all mankind to help those who at the moment could not help themselves – even when they were enemies. He … Continue reading The Nature of God (2/5)

1959 San Diego Special Class Tape 269 Side 1 The Nature of God By Joel Goldsmith Part 1 of 5 Good morning! Yesterday I brought to your attention the fact that this class is really a God-miracle, and what you experienced was another proof of that miracle because for the first time in the entire class experience of over 12 years, our work went through two solid hours without even a stop to breathe or walk or rest, and that has never before happened. Also, it will interest you to know that many of our classes consist of only one-hour … Continue reading The Nature of God (1/5)

What About This Body? – Part 2 of 4 Chapter 9 Let us assume that John Jones has asked for help for a physical condition. He may have mentioned that his problem was influenza, which at that time was raging throughout his community and may have reached almost epidemic proportions. In your treatment, your first recognition is that this is a suggestion of a selfhood apart from God, and that leaves you free to forget the patient and the condition. The entire truth that you know is about God, and the entire treatment remains on the level of God: If … Continue reading What About This Body? (2/4)
