The Imparting “I”

Be satisfied with the word I. Some day you will hear the Voice say to you, “I,” and when It does you will know that you have come face to face with God. You have come to know God aright. But you will not be able to tell your neighbor about it, or your child, your husband, your wife, or your parents, because that would be trying to bring I down to the intellect again, down to the mind.

“I”Dissolves Personal Sense

We honor God and we honor our spiritual integrity when, instead of asking for forgiveness or favors, we approach God with the finger on the lips and on the mind, going to God without thoughts, without desires, going to this center within ourselves in silence that we may hear the still small voice even when it is at its stillest and smallest.

The Christ (2/5)

1950 First Portland Class Tape 4 Side 1 The Christ By Joel Goldsmith Part 2 of 5 Now, as you read through your gospels, see if this is not the teaching of the Master. See if this is not what he meant by Christianity: I am the way, the truth, and the life. I am the resurrection; I am the bread; I am the wine; I am the water. Now, let me call your attention to his most mystical, transcendental teaching because it follows naturally; it’s the second step in this unfoldment of oneness. The scene is at the well … Continue reading The Christ (2/5)

Immortality (1/5)

Infinite Way Letter April 1955 By Joel Goldsmith Part 1 of 5 Immortality The most prevalent concept of immortality is an existence of eternal bliss after a point of transition known as death or passing on. Another popular concept of immortality is a Methuselah-plus existence in this world. Both concepts are incorrect. The first is based upon the faculty premise that death could be a part of God’s Creation. The second is merely a gilded notion of longevity. The only death, passing on, or transition is, in the words of Paul, “I die daily”—the transition from one state of consciousness … Continue reading Immortality (1/5)

“I” That Speaks On To Me (4/4)

1961 Maui Work Tape 392, Side 1 “I” SPEAKS UNTO ME By Joel Goldsmith Part 4 of 4 Once a day, in your meditations you will remember, of course, to consciously release God, in the sense of releasing God from any responsibility for the evils of the world—whether they’re the evils that have come nigh your dwelling place or anyone else’s, or the evil of this world. Remember to release God in the sense of realizing consciously that no evil has its source in God, and, nothing that does not emanate from God has power. But, in that same meditation, … Continue reading “I” That Speaks On To Me (4/4)

“I” Speaks Onto Me (1/4)

1961 Maui Work Tape 392, Side 1 “I” SPEAKS UNTO ME By Joel Goldsmith Part 1 of 4 Good evening. Within each one of us, there is a Presence, there is a Spirit—there is something more real than we are, with vision beyond ours. And it is, to use Paul’s words, living our lives for us. It is true that too often because we are not aware of this Presence, we determine to live our own lives; we make our own decisions; we rely on our own wisdom, judgment, or strength. But, it is only because we have not yet … Continue reading “I” Speaks Onto Me (1/4)
