The Object of Healing Is the Transformation of Consciousness

From – The Infinite Way Letters 1959 Excerpt – October By Joel Goldsmith P. 192 The Object of Healing Is the Transformation of Consciousness Certainly there are cases in which the fullness of the healing does not appear in that first moment of realization, no matter how deep it may be, and you may be called upon to repeat the process twice, ten, or a hundred times, because the opacity may lie with your patient or student in whom there must be a change of consciousness before harmony can be outwardly pictured. One of the great stumbling blocks to healing … Continue reading The Object of Healing Is the Transformation of Consciousness

Christmas – New Year’s Message

Abide in this Word. Abide in It, live in It. You have meat that the world knows not of. This is the Christ message: You have meat, wine and water and resurrection. You have within you a Presence that was planted there by God that you might have life and that you might have it more abundantly. And if you live in this awareness morning to night and night to morning, the crust of the human demonstration will break, and the spiritual demonstration will come through. Continue reading Christmas – New Year’s Message

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)

Contemplative Meditation (5/6)

Infinite Way Letter August 1956 By Joel Goldsmith Part 5 of 6 CONTEMPLATIVE MEDITATION What Is Religion?         The following is the text of my second talk given to devotees of Anandashram, on December 9th, 1955:         We have learned that religion has its beginning in India and spread out from India to the East and to the West. Now we ask: What is religion? What is the religion that was given to us in the beginning, when the hearts and Souls of men opened themselves to God for light?         The study of the many scriptures that comprise our spiritual literature reveals that religion is a release—a … Continue reading Contemplative Meditation (5/6)

Contemplative Meditation (2/6)

Infinite Way Letter August 1956 By Joel Goldsmith Part 2 of 6 CONTEMPLATIVE MEDITATION The Middle Path Therefore if thou bring thy gift to the altar, and there rememberest that thy brother hath aught against thee; Leave there thy gift before the altar, and go thy way; first be reconciled to thy brother, and then come and offer thy gift.

Your Demonstration

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

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)

The Nature Of God (5/5)

1959 San Diego Special Class Tape 269 Side 1 The Nature of God By Joel Goldsmith Part 5 of 5 Now, illumination isn’t anything of a material nature or even of an occult nature. Illumination really means light, the receiving of light, and light doesn’t mean light in the physical sense but in the mental. It means understanding, awareness. Therefore, when you are illumined, it means only that you have received the actual experience of knowing God’s presence, knowing God’s grace. There is nothing emotional about it, I can assure you. Those who look for emotional experiences not only miss … Continue reading The Nature Of God (5/5)

Evaluating One’s Spiritual Progress

IW Morsel – Human Being A human being is living in a purely material sense of the world, but he is not living in a material world because there is none. From – Living Between Two Worlds By Joel Goldsmith P. 31 From – Living by Grace By Joel Goldsmith P. 75-76 Evaluating One’s Spiritual Progress There is a way of evaluating what degree of progress we are making on the spiritual path. It is not by noticing how much more spiritual we feel or how better we are behaving or how much more virtuous we are. These are not … Continue reading Evaluating One’s Spiritual Progress
