Attain that Mind (2/4)

Whenever you turn to God for guidance, wisdom, healing, ask yourself first if you are not expecting your good of some new idea or concept of God, rather than God Itself. Inevitably this leads to the question, “If all I have thought of as Truth, or God, is but my ideas of God or concepts of Reality, what then is God?” And in that moment of Silence, while awaiting the answer, the first tiny glimpse of His Being is revealed to you within yourself. Remember that it is only as you come to where you have no more concepts of God, no more thoughts or ideas of God, that God Itself reveals Itself. Continue reading Attain that Mind (2/4)

God Is The Only Being

Every relationship in life is based on the belief that there are two or more of us – two or more of us in the home, two or more of us in the business.  All spiritual truth, on the other hand, is based on the fact that there is only oneI, one Consciousness, one Soul, one Spirit, and I am that I am.  All that the Father has is mine – all that is true of Iis true of the son.

God Seeks Us (3/5)

  God is not like anything we think He is. In cleansing the temple, the first things we must discard are our old concepts of God. Let us accept God as God, without any preconceived idea or outline of what we shall find when we do become acquainted with Him. It will be an entirely different experience than any we have ever thought or visualized or believed. Continue reading God Seeks Us (3/5)

The Silence (3/5)

    It is in these periods of silence that the spiritual seed takes root in the prepared or fertile consciousness. As we start every day with a period of silence, we will find that every Word of Truth received into our consciousness either by reading, hearing, or by unfoldment, will spring into spiritual fruitage. It is in this stillness and silence that all of the power of God takes place, and it is then that the real work of our lives is accomplished.

Unconditioned Mind – Life (5/5)

So the responsibility is on your shoulders to refuse to accept temptation. So we are back at the Garden of Eden. The tempter appears with the belief of good and evil, and when you have accepted Adam and Eve, right away you are outside the Garden of Eden. We are presented with good and evil in many forms, and you’d be surprised how many millions of forms. And sometimes we can stand there and say, “I won’t accept you,” but then John Jones comes along, and we accept about him, and we have fallen into the trap.

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.

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.

Prayer (1/3)

From The Infinite Way 1954 Letters By Joel Goldsmith Chapter 4 PRAYER Part 1 of 3 Prayer is our contact, our means of communion with God through which harmony is revealed. God is, that we know. God is peace, harmony and supply. God is safety and security. God is our rock, our high tower, or dwelling place – God is. Notwithstanding the is-ness and all-ness of God, the world is filled with discords, inharmonies, sin, disease, lack, envy, jealousy, malice, hatred and misrepresentation. All forms of negative influences and conditions seem to pervade the world and we are all innocent … Continue reading Prayer (1/3)
