Spiritual illumination

Illumination first brings peace, then confidence and assurance; it brings rest from the world’s contests, and then all good flows to us through Grace. We see now that we do not live by acquiring, gaining, or achieving. We live by Grace; we possess all as the gift of God; we do not get our good, because we already have all good. “Son, thou art ever with me, and all that I have is thine” Continue reading Spiritual illumination

The Middle Path / Be Still

Do not seek harmony or health or even God. These are not to be found. “Be still.” Only in deep silence, in refraining from “taking thought,” only in the giving up of the struggle for God, for peace, for plenty, for companionship, can these be experienced. Do you “see” what I am saying? God, health, abundance, freedom, friendships—these are not entities or identities—but experiences. Continue reading The Middle Path / Be Still

The Nature of God (4/5)

1959 San Diego Special Class Tape 269 Side 1 The Nature of God By Joel Goldsmith Part 4 of 5 I wrote a book review on a book which was written by a minister in which he said he made experiments with plants and found that prayer would help to grow them and that prayer could be used to destroy them. And you know, of course, that that’s not true. There isn’t one of you here who has any right to believe that because you must know that prayer concerns God. You must know that prayer is an activity that … Continue reading The Nature of God (4/5)

Only To Listen/ Spiritual Discernment

IW Morsel – Only To Listen We do not go to God to tell him what claim or what disease is to be removed, or what sin or what limitation or lack, nor do we go to God to explain our need for money or employment. We go to God for one purpose—to hear the still, small voice. From-Rising In Consciousness By Joel Goldsmith P.21 From – Living by Grace By Joel Goldsmith P. 98-99 Spiritual Discernment Unless you have spiritual discernment, words are meaningless.

It Shall Not Come Nigh Thee (4/5)

Infinite Way Letter 1964 – October Aka – Realization of Oneness By Joel Goldsmith Part 4 of 5 “It Shall Not Come Nigh Thee” Safety As An Activity of Consciousness Once you know that anything that is the emanation of the carnal mind is without law, without God-being, God-presence, or God-power, you have begun to nullify it. If it does not yield the first time, keep at it a hundred times if necessary. Sometimes it takes hundreds of times of knowing the truth to break a situation. Undoubtedly, the Master at his height could have broken through any hypnotism immediately, … Continue reading It Shall Not Come Nigh Thee (4/5)

Open the Door of the Consciousness of the World

All the evil of the world has come about because of a sense of separation from God. We have accepted man on earth and God in heaven, and thereby have separated ourselves in belief from God, instead of being able to walk up and down this world knowing: I and the Father are so one that if I stand before Pilate, I can say, “Thou couldest have no power at all against me, except it were given thee from above.” Before Pilate, the greatest temporal power of the universe? Yes, even he could have no power over us unless it … Continue reading Open the Door of the Consciousness of the World
