The Fabric of Being (3/5)

Now, I know how many metaphysicians have used that approach of, “You are spiritual and you are perfect.” Looking at the individual they were saying it to, you could hardly believe it. Or saying, “You ought to be more loving, or you ought to be more just, or you ought to be more something or other,” and then looking at them and saying, “I know you’d like to be if you could be.” What a waste of time to tell you what you ought to be. How do I know all this? Because I know what a waste of time it is to tell me to be different than I am. What I am – I am; and what I was in the past, I was; and telling me that it isn’t so good isn’t going to make me change it. First place, I’ll probably not believe it.

The Fabric of Being (1/5)

A way has been revealed – a way out of this wheel of human existence. It is not some new way of getting God to perform His function; it is not some new way of making God do for us what God hasn’t done in the past; it is not some new way of waking God up to his duty or obligation. It is the way of removing the barrier which separates this earth from heaven and thereby experiencing heaven on earth. Continue reading The Fabric of Being (1/5)

Unconditioned Mind – Life (1/5)

But metaphysicians do know this. The metaphysicians of all schools, of all approaches know, and I think the basis of all of them is that there is only one mind, but none of them practice it because when it comes down to actual practice, there is a divine mind, and there is a mortal mind, and a human mind. And while the claim, or the original teaching was that there is one mind, yet always the practitioner looks at your mind to see what’s wrong with you. But actually, it is true that there is only one mind, and that mind is the mind of individual being. It is your mind and my mind. There is only one mind in this room.

Let the Nature of God Be Revealed in Meditation

Jesus called God “the Father within,” but how many of us in this modern world know what Jesus meant when he spoke of God as Father? None of us has any idea what the heavenly Father means because that Father is nothing like a human father. And so unless we understand the real meaning of Father in the sense in which Jesus used the word, when we speak of God as Father, we are merely mouthing words. Continue reading Let the Nature of God Be Revealed in Meditation

Spiritual Consciousness (4/4)

God is infinite divine consciousness; therefore God is your individual consciousness, and this consciousness is the law unto your life.  Don’t try to direct it; be satisfied that it is so and rest in that Word.  God is infinite divine consciousness; therefore God is my consciousness and your consciousness; his consciousness and her consciousness; the consciousness of friend and of foe –universal, divine, omnipresent being, God consciousness – the law unto all creation.  And when you rest in that, It picks you up and transforms the mind, the body, and what is called the outer experience, but which now you learn isn’t outer at all.  It’s all taking place within you. Continue reading Spiritual Consciousness (4/4)

Toward the experience (5/6)

Many persons who are very good students of truth cannot heal because as long as they have only the letter of truth, they are believing it merely with the mind, and since it is the mind that has caused the difficulty, the mind is not going to cure it. The beliefs in the mind cause all the errors; therefore, another belief in the mind is not going to cure them. You must transcend the mind, and when you have transcended the mind all these things that the mind declares or believes in are proved unreal.

The Function Of The Christ In You (2/4)

1962 HOLLAND CLOSED CLASS TAPE 499 SIDE 1 THE FUNCTION OF THE CHRIST IN YOU By Joel Goldsmith Part 2 of 4 It is true that most of us, as we came to a metaphysical or spiritual [healing]… teaching, came for healing, and that seems to be perfectly legitimate—because it is one of the ways, nature has of driving us back to God. But the point that I make is, that even though we receive our healing, and many of us do receive healing even before that desire for God is awakened—we do it because of the intensity of the … Continue reading The Function Of The Christ In You (2/4)

I have had experience in prisons, and so I speak to you from 30 years of experience when I say that if you or any of your friends or relatives are in sin, don’t try to stop it or correct it but, rather, see if you cannot awaken in them or yourself a desire to know God because that’s all that’s necessary. When the realization of God takes place … Continue reading The Nature of God (3/5)

The Nature of God (2/5)

1959 San Diego Special Class Tape 269 Side 1 The Nature of God By Joel Goldsmith Part 2 of 5 Probably one of the reasons that our great Herbert Hoover has reached this magnificent age of 85 in full possession of his faculties and at the very height of his mental capacities and in good physical health is due to the fact that all of his life he has felt that it was a demand upon him personally and upon all mankind to help those who at the moment could not help themselves – even when they were enemies. He … Continue reading The Nature of God (2/5)

What About This Body? – Part 4 of 4 Chapter 9 Even though this is not always easy to do, and despite the temptation to dwell on the appearance, recognize it as suggestion, or hypnotism, and turn immediately to God: Keep your treatment up in that circle called God and let your knowing be the truth about God.
