Prayer (2/3)

IW Morsel – State of Consciousness If you are aware of yourself as finite personality, that is your state of consciousness.

Prayer (1/3)

From The Infinite Way 1954 Letters By Joel Goldsmith Chapter 4 PRAYER Part 1 of 3 Prayer is our contact, our means of communion with God through which harmony is revealed. God is, that we know. God is peace, harmony and supply. God is safety and security. God is our rock, our high tower, or dwelling place – God is. Notwithstanding the is-ness and all-ness of God, the world is filled with discords, inharmonies, sin, disease, lack, envy, jealousy, malice, hatred and misrepresentation. All forms of negative influences and conditions seem to pervade the world and we are all innocent … Continue reading Prayer (1/3)

GOLDSMITH INFINITE WAY CHAPTERS WE SHOULD KNOW

From – The Contemplative Life By Joel Goldsmith Our students dare not forget for a single day that whatever transpires in their experience comes as an activity of their own consciousness, and therefore it is essential that there be a constant reminder of God as the one and only Power, the conviction that power is not in person or effect, but only in the invisible consciousness of the individual. Because of mesmeric world sense, we must regularly bring to conscious awareness the understanding of these revealed principles. By a neglect of these principles, we unknowingly accept the problems of human … Continue reading GOLDSMITH INFINITE WAY CHAPTERS WE SHOULD KNOW

Ask, Seek, Knock part 2

Moses, David, and others of the grear characters of the Old Testament taught the doctrine of one God, but, of them all, the inspired prophet Isaiah was most emphatic, and throughout the Book of Isaiah you will find his exhortations and counsel: “Thus saith the Lord the King of Israel, and his redeemer the Lord of hosts; I am the first, and I am the last, and beside me there is no God…. Fear ye not, neither be afraid: have not I told thee from that time, and have declared it? Ye are even my witnesses. Is there a God … Continue reading Ask, Seek, Knock part 2

Ask, Seek, Knock

“Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you.” Part One These words of the Master have raised the question among students as to whether or not we are contradicting them when we say, Ask not, Seek not. There is no contradiction: instead, there is another question—What did the Master mean when He said, Ask, Search, Knock? As we come to understand more fully the message of Jesus Christ, we will know that to Ask, to Seek, to Knock, is all part of spiritual developments, but not in the … Continue reading Ask, Seek, Knock

SUGGESTIONS FOR HEALING WORK 2/7

Probably never before in history have so many people been in agreement that what we are showing forth to the world is not somebody’s personal, copy-righted teaching or religion, separate and apart from the basic teachings of God, but rather, that we are showing forth the very Spirit of God Itself. The wisdom of all ages is once again coming to light in human consciousness, and for the first time literally millions are being told and taught of their individual divinity. God is your being, your Mind, your Spirit. God is the only law, the only activity. God it is … Continue reading SUGGESTIONS FOR HEALING WORK 2/7

SUGGESTIONS FOR HEALING WORK (1/7)

Infinite Way Letter November 1955 By Joel Goldsmith Part 1of 7 During a trip around the world in 1954, I met with many men who are willing to agree that people with all types and forms of religious backgrounds and teachings, and every method of approach, can unite in the realization of two things: first, the realization of God as individual being; therefore, our conscious union with God, our oneness with the Source of all Good. Second: the prayers of the Church cannot heal. One such man is Brother Mandus, who, after a spiritual experience, found that he was a … Continue reading SUGGESTIONS FOR HEALING WORK (1/7)

The Deep Pool of Your Being (6/6)

The Deep Pool of Your Being The Ninth Commandment The Ninth commandment, “Thou shalt not bear false witness against thy neighbor,” is a Cosmic Law, but what does it mean? Certainly this does not mean that we are just not to spread rumors and gossip about our neighbor, but that we are not to hold our neighbor in humanhood. If you say, “I have a fine neighbor,” you are bearing false witness against him just as much as if you said, “I have a very bad neighbor,” because you are acknowledging a state of humanhood, sometimes good and sometimes bad, … Continue reading The Deep Pool of Your Being (6/6)

The Deep Pool of Your Being (5/6)

Part 5 of 6 The Deep Pool of Your Being Effective Prayer  –  (A student) Only those who experience a deep, inner spiritual contact or realization can pray effectively. This may, at first, seem a shocking statement to those who have been brought up in the old teachings that we must turn to God, pray to God, ask, beseech God for this, that and the other thing. However, as we meditate and ponder this subject of effective prayer, we find that if we do not receive what we pray for, we pray amiss. Certainly we are all well acquainted with … Continue reading The Deep Pool of Your Being (5/6)

THE DEEP POOL OF YOUR BEING (1/6)

It is well, at this point of our spiritual unfoldment, that we stop for a moment and take stock of ourselves. Just what is the specific principle we are trying to prove, and from which we expect great things? First of all, the principle is that God is individual consciousness; God is the consciousness of the individual; God is your consciousness and mine. Many facets of this principle have been presented in the Message, but one point, above all, that may be called the vision of The Infinite Way, and from which proceeds all else, is the principle that God … Continue reading THE DEEP POOL OF YOUR BEING (1/6)
