The “I” Within (1/4)

Wim Haverkamp

As long as we try to direct our thoughts or our actions, the effects will be haphazard – good and bad, successful and unsuccessful. A state of complete quiescence in which there is no thinking or planning must be reached. We must be as completely passive as the piece of ice. Such a state can only be achieved when all desire has been surrendered. Do I know the will of God? Certainly not! My will would be to see everyone instantly healed, but would that result in their awakening to spiritual values, in the opening of the soul? No! I must sit back and wait patiently for the will of God to make Itself known. Continue reading The “I” Within (1/4)

Toward the experience (4 of 6)

Wim Haverkamp

Infinite Way Letter 1965 – January  Aka – Beyond Words & Thoughts By Joel Goldsmith Part 4 of 6 Toward the experience   Surrender yourself to God         If you are looking up to God, wanting God to do something, and trying to get God to come down to you, you are “out to lunch,” just not around where God is. You must become convinced that God does not reward good and God does not punish evil. Whatever reward or punishment comes is from within your own self as is evident from all the good people in the world who … Continue reading Toward the experience (4 of 6)

Toward the experience (2/6)

Wim Haverkamp

Infinite Way Letter 1965 – January Aka – Beyond Words & Thoughts By Joel Goldsmith Part 2 of 6 Toward the Experience   Motive         You might rightly ask, “then what is the good of all this teaching? What is the good of all the years of study of these books?” And I will say to you that the Experience will not come without that. The study, the practice, the living, and the reading are the steps that break down the mortal sense into which we were born, that enable us to “die” to mortal sense and to be “reborn.”         … Continue reading Toward the experience (2/6)

The Miracle

Wim Haverkamp

From Beyond Words & Thoughts By Joel Goldsmith Chapter 3 P.40 The Miracle This Presence, and not your mind or mine, is the healing agency. When anyone asks me for help, can you understand that the first thing that takes place in me is that my mind stops functioning, and I stop thinking? I think no thoughts of truth. I listen, and that lets the presence and power of God through to the patient; whereas the moment I try to think a thought, even of truth, then I am trying to make thought a power, I am trying to make … Continue reading The Miracle

Your Demonstration

Wim Haverkamp

Study & Meditation #89 1961 Chicago Open Class (1:1A) Tape 407 By Joel Goldsmith  Your Demonstration         If a person could demonstrate nothing at all but the Presence of God, they would find that they would have harmony in every department of their lives. There is only one reason for your discord and mine, and that is the sense of separation from God. The realization of the Presence of God immediately dispels the discords and inharmonies. The object of our work is proving that it is possible to experience the Presence of God and thereby the presence of harmony in … Continue reading Your Demonstration

Lifting up the I(5/7)

Wim Haverkamp

Infinite Way Letter 1964 – November Aka – Realization of Oneness By Joel Goldsmith Part 5 of 7 Lifting up the I We Cannot Get Rid of An Appearance In Infinite Way healing work, we are not turning to God to heal anybody. We do not have the kind of God who would let anyone be sick if it were within His knowledge, and if we recognize God to be Omniscience and Omnipotence we surely could not find anyone outside of God’s knowledge. It is entirely a matter of the individual called a practitioner being able to rise to that … Continue reading Lifting up the I(5/7)

Lifting up the I (1/7)

Wim Haverkamp

Infinite Way Letter 1964 – November Aka – Realization of Oneness By Joel Goldsmith Part 1 of 7 Lifting Up the I There is no one mode, means, method, or system which can correctly be called metaphysical or spiritual healing. In fact, there are as many different approaches to spiritual healing as there are in materia medica with its allopathy, homeopathy, osteopathy, chiropractic, and naprapathy, all different forms of materia medica. In the world of metaphysical and spiritual healing, there are the evangelists who, by the grace of God, have received some special state of consciousness through which they heal … Continue reading Lifting up the I (1/7)
