Self-Surrender 3/5

Self-Surrender 2/5
In other words, during the second, third, or fourth year of a very serious spiritual study, you can really expect the worst of us to come to the surface.

Self-Surrender 1/5

Do you see what I am trying to drive at, that in our work we are the target for materia medica, for the orthodox ministry, for the university intellectual, for all of those who have not yet witnessed an activity of the Infinite Invisible? [...]
No Power 1/5
Whenever truth is offered to the human mind, the human mind wants to crucify that truth, because the truth demands that the human mind die. Truth demands that we die daily to our humanhood, and that we be reborn of the spirit. [...]
Week update
To give you an impression where we were working on this week here an overview.
God is the Life, the Soul, and the Spirit of each of us. God is the reality of All. [...]
1955 Kailua Study Group
Did you know that they were recorded in Joel's home? He made the recordings, having the group come over to his house. So when you listen and realize that, doesn't it just feel good that you also entered in? When is that tape taking place? In 1955? You got to be kidding, it is happening right now!! [...]
