Those who love God are brought into one household, one family, one companionship, into a sharing with one another; and just as we are sharing with those coming into the Light, so somebody with an even higher consciousness is sharing with us.

Joel S. Goldsmith

When you have The Spirit of God consciously alive in you; you have the substance, the law, and activity of all form; and you will find that this recognition, and this realization of this presence, and power of God within you will appear outwardly as every form of activity, every form of supply, every form of health, and every form of infinite good that you could possibly dream of, and far above even your ability to dream! You need not to desire health! Just desire to know The Father within you!

Joel S. Goldsmith
Meditation on the Presence
Transcribed by Ron Jones

As we leave this plane and are drawn to those who have attained spiritual wisdom, our development continues. Then, even if we do reincarnate on earth, we will be fulfilling ourselves in a sphere more closely akin to a spiritual activity. Those who have not gone far enough spiritually will fulfill themselves culturally, educationally, artistically, or musically, but if they are developed spiritually, there will be a spiritual function for them to perform, even before they incarnate, because there are influences working behind the scenes that animate those who are on the spiritual path here.
Joel S.Goldsmith
The Infinite Way

Nobody who is in a position of leadership in a spiritual activity here is dependent entirely on his own state of consciousness. He has attracted to himself a spiritual atmosphere, a spiritual support and guidance, because on the spiritual level there are no such barriers as heaven and earth, as over there and over here: they are one. Once we are in some measure spiritually attuned, we are in the consciousness of all those who are so attuned, whether they are HERE or THERE. In other words, we are in and of the household of God.

Joel S. Goldsmith

Undoubtedly, spiritual development is pounding away at your consciousness, or you would not be reading this book. Something of a spiritual nature is trying to break through and will not let you rest until you have attained your goal, so even if you have to sacrifice some material good at this moment in order to achieve that spiritual unfoldment, do not shrink from these sacrifices. Rather, be prepared for them because you may have to sacrifice much to attain this spiritual development, but it will be well worth every sacrifice, for when you have achieved even a measure of it you will find that you have everything else you need in the world.

THE I THAT I AM

On the spiritual Path you will be tempted, not a hundred times, but a thousand times, to believe in a selfhood apart from the I that I am; you will be tempted to believe that you are that selfhood, or that your son or your daughter is a selfhood separate and apart from God. Each time it will be an effort to remember: I is God; I is infinite being: I is infinite individuality. Then when you have achieved that realization you can rest – but only for a few minutes, until the next temptation comes along. You will not solve all your problems by an intellectual agreement that I is God, that I is infinite, and therefore, that I is infinite wealth and infinite health. Ultimately, that truth will solve all your problems, but not until it has been rooted and grounded in your individual consciousness.
As inspiration pours through, as the light comes in, we are lifted into a realm beyond this world; it is almost like living in a dream. But it is not a dream; it is living in reality. However, the difficulty is that every once in a while we come down to earth – we come down to earth, either because our own body starts to make a noise, or someone else’s body or pocketbook does. Then it is that we become responsible for the re-establishment in our own thought of our true identity.
The secret of discord and the secret of harmony lie in understanding true identity. Regardless of how many books we may write about it, or how many different ways it is presented, the secret is: I is God, and not man. I is consciousness, and not body. I is life eternal: It was never born; It will never die. This truth must be established in your consciousness. Each time error hits up against your thought, in one form or another, it must be rejected with that ultimate realization: I is God consciousness. That I is infinite, eternal, and all-inclusive; It includes within Itself every idea of rightness. But remember, It contains no thought, no feeling, no trace of anything less than ultimate perfection; and remember, also, all that God is, I am. “I and my Father are one.”
Every time a call comes – not only a call from patient to practitioner, but a call of the world, a claim of the world, a belief of the world, whether in the newspaper, on the radio, through the air, or through friends – work until the I has been consciously established as the reality of your being; and therefore, you know that nothing is true of you save that which is true of I.
See what happens then in the handling of problems. Problems disappear, since I can have no problems. My consciousness, which is God consciousness, can have no problems, and this truth eliminates from belief everything unlike itself. This means that there is work for us to do, as well as moments of sitting on a cloud. We really have work to do in the training of our consciousness. And that entails something else.
All of us, as humans beings, have traits of character built up by our environment, education, and experience, which do not fit in with the I that I am; therefore, it becomes necessary to take ourselves in hand and learn to govern and control ourselves so that we bring all things into alignment with the I that I am. If by nature we are fearful and doubtful, if by nature we are envious or jealous, we should not try humanly to make ourselves over; we are not going to be psychologists and say, “I have this evil trait and I must replace it with this good trait.” I do not mean that. But I mean that in the constant realization of the I that I am we recognize what seem to be our human weaknesses and we permit those traits to disappear and fade out of the picture.
We do not substitute a good human quality for a bad one; but in the realization of the I that I am, we learn to let the erroneous human traits drop away. Do not make an effort to get rid of them; but let your effort be to live in the I that I am. That will take care of everything.

Joel Goldsmith

The Master Speaks, Ch 5

As we go along you will realize, or you probably do now, that there is nothing external to your Being. It only seems to be external to your false mortal consciousness. And therefore, translate everything that is objectionable before you as world consciousness, individualizing as that particular form of objection. And you’ll find that you are not fearing it quite as much, and even in the proper identification of it there will be a tendency for it to dissolve right under your awareness of its truth.

So this situation called war, or this situation called hurricane, or this situation called supply, is only world consciousness appearing as the lack, as the war, as the disease. Get rid of those words and rest in the knowledge that world consciousness is merely approaching me in different masks and different forms and different conditions but always it is the one counterfeit world consciousness, which is presenting the good and the evil, the duality. I need to take no cognizance of them because I Am Spirit, Incorporeal, Immortal Self.

Putting On Immortality

A COMMITMENT THIS GREAT BRINGS GREAT RESULTS
I surrender; I surrender every material obstacle, every mortal and human obstacle, everything that stands between me and God. In Thy Presence is fullness of life. I surrender every desire that I have ever had. I surrender every desire but one; all that I seek is Thee. Let me be in Thy Presence. Thy grace is sufficient for me – not Thy grace AND health, or wealth but Thy grace alone. I surrender the desire for person, place, thing, circumstance, or condition – even my hope of heaven. I surrender every desire for recognition, for reward, for gratitude, for love, for understanding. I am satisfied with Thy grace. If only I can sit here and hold Thy hand, I will never ask even for tomorrow’s breakfast; I will fast the rest of my days. Just let me hold Thy hand and I shall never hunger; I shall never thirst. Only let me hold Thy hand; let me be in Thy Presence.
JOEL S. GOLDSMITH
The Art of Meditation

In holding someone in condemnation, you are sowing to the flesh and you will reap corruption, but in not blaming another you withdraw from that sowing. Now acknowledge that no one on earth, in heaven, or in hell, has the power to restrict, harm, or influence you in any way. Now acknowledge that all power resides within your Soul, and you will again be sowing to the Spirit and you will reap freedom, peace, and harmony.
Joel S. Goldsmith
Living The Infinite Way

This Self and you are one, but It is greater than you. Can you not see that what is invisible, the Source of your inspiration, the Source of your life, the Cause and the creative Principle of your life, even though you are one with It, is greater than you?
Joel Goldsmith
