Good Friday: The Crucifixion of Personal Sense

Instead of thinking of Good Friday as another holy day to be commemorated, what we should realize is that here is a day for the contemplation of another spiritual principle of life: the principle of self-abnegation, in which, when we have brought to light the nothingness of our human selfhood, then is revealed the allness, immortality, and eternality of our being because I and the Father are one, and all that the Father has is mine Continue reading Good Friday: The Crucifixion of Personal Sense

Preparation for Easter 5/5

Let this work forever result in your freedom, and in the freedom of those who come to it. So that wherever there is a meditation oasis, be sure that everyone that comes to meditate in it is free to meditate in accordance with their spiritual leading.

Between Two Worlds 4/4

This is what we are seeking in this age, but you must know that what you are seeking must take you back to creation and birth, so that you can understand all that takes place in all of the years following.

1952 New Washington Series Tape 6 Side 1 Basic Infinite Way By Joel Goldsmith Part 2 of 5 What is it about a Bible that is holy, that is sacred? Anything to do with the binding? Or the paper?

The Last Enemy (5/5)

The ascension is that state of consciousness, which knows that the body does not control life, but that life controls the body. The Master proved that he had achieved that state of consciousness when, in referring to his body, he said, “I have power to lay it down, and I have power to take it again,” and also, “Destroy this temple [body], and in three days I will raise it up”; or in other words, “I, Consciousness controls body by letting the Consciousness of the I Am form Itself into the wonders and beauties which we call here and now Continue reading The Last Enemy (5/5)

Easter: The Rising Above All Material Ties

That brings us to the Resurrection when, after having died to personal sense and having entombed that false sense of self, our true Self rises out of that tomb of the little self and walks this earth free: free and infinite, immortal and eternal, full of God-being. That is our Easter, our day of ascension, and we find that in our self-renunciation, as in our humility, we have stepped out of a tomb. We are walking the earth now, not full of personal possessions or personal virtues, but filled with the Holy Ghost, the Spirit of the Lord God Almighty which is upon us, and then we are ordained. Now that material sense has been thoroughly quenched, our real nature, our real being, can come to light. Continue reading Easter: The Rising Above All Material Ties
