The Thunder Of Silence (3/5)

It is for this reason that you must not become hypnotized with appearances. By this I mean if you have an abundance of dollars or investments, do not become hypnotized into believing that because of this abundance of dollars and investments, or business that you have found economic security; because history will show you how many times such things have been wiped away.

The Thunder of Silence (2/5)

The same Spirit that raised up Jesus Christ from the dead will quicken also your mortal bodies. Do you see what I am trying to say to you—that there is a spirit? There is a spirit in man, there is a divine spark; there is that which we will today call the Christ which will lift you into the fourth dimension of life, that is, into a state of consciousness in which you do not live by your personal efforts, or your personal will, personal wisdom, personal strength, personal health, but in which you find yourself empowered from on High, that is, from the kingdom within your own being.

Easter: The Rising Above All Material Ties

That brings us to the Resurrection when, after having died to personal sense and having entombed that false sense of self, our true Self rises out of that tomb of the little self and walks this earth free: free and infinite, immortal and eternal, full of God-being. That is our Easter, our day of ascension, and we find that in our self-renunciation, as in our humility, we have stepped out of a tomb. We are walking the earth now, not full of personal possessions or personal virtues, but filled with the Holy Ghost, the Spirit of the Lord God Almighty which is upon us, and then we are ordained. Now that material sense has been thoroughly quenched, our real nature, our real being, can come to light. Continue reading Easter: The Rising Above All Material Ties

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.

Toward the experience (4 of 6)

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)

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 Spiritual Christmas

From – The Contemplative Life By Joel Goldsmith Chapter 12 P.195 The Spiritual Christmas In the account of the advent of the Christ in the Gospel according to St. Luke, the Christ was born in a manger because “there was no room for them in the inn.” There was no room in the inn, and so the Christ was born in the stable of the inn. Esoterically, the meaning of this is that the human consciousness, which is the place of enjoyment, comfort, and revelry, never has room for the Christ. When there is a sufficiency of supply, health, and … Continue reading The Spiritual Christmas
