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

1959 San Diego Special Class Tape 269 Side 2 Questions and Answers By Joel Goldsmith Part 4 of 7         Q. Last night I had a friend with me and returning home she said, “I can’t agree with everything Mr. Goldsmith said.”         Well of course she can’t! How can she? She hasn’t lived my life; she hasn’t had my experience, so she can only judge what I said from her experience. I feel flattered when someone says, “I agree with everything in your book,” because I know that they have lived the same experience I have, have attained the … Continue reading Questions and answers (4/7)
