CAN’T PRAY TO GOD FOR ANYTHING !!
▪︎▪︎▪︎▪︎▪︎▪︎▪︎▪︎▪︎▪︎▪︎▪︎▪︎▪︎▪︎▪︎▪︎▪︎

The God of The Infinite Way is a very strange God because it is a God that we cannot pray to for anything.

This is because our God is not withholding anything, and if it is not withholding anything, it cannot give anything. So right there we find ourselves in trouble. That is all there is to that particular principle: there is no God to pray to for anything because God is not withholding anything.

However, if you think that anyone can possibly understand that without a year or two or three of thinking of it in a hundred different ways, you are mistaken.

You might today begin to think of the sun up in the sky and realize that the sun does not give anything. The sun is shining and it is manifesting both warmth and light. It is not giving it because it was not withholding it. It is an eternal state of being, of Isness. So you can see that to pray to the sun for light, for warmth, is nonsense!

Eventually, you get to see that this is the Truth about God. God Is a state of infinite, divine Being. God Is always Being, and therefore there is no way to influence God to be more of God.

Spiritual Power of Truth: God and Error

ALL GOOD ALWAYS WAS
▪︎▪︎▪︎▪︎▪︎▪︎▪︎▪︎▪︎▪︎▪︎▪︎▪︎▪︎▪︎▪︎▪︎▪︎

“All good — every form of life, every form of love, every form of truth, every form of substance, every activity and every law — is within our own being and was established there since “before Abraham.”

At the very moment of our co-existence with God, all that the Father has was established within our own being, everything: integrity, loyalty, fidelity, cooperativeness, joy peace, harmony, gratitude, every conceivable thing.

It includes all those things that constitute home, that constitute transportation, protection, safety, security, and freedom. All of those qualities and activities are established within our own being.”

Joel Goldsmith, “Showing Forth The Presence Of God,” Chapter 7, Section: “All Good Was Established In Our Consciousness In The Beginning.”

Here I am, Father, listening for Your voice. My inner ears are open. I have no requests, no demands, no hopes, no ambitions. I do not ask You to do anything You are not already doing. I await Your word of grace. I am the servant of the most High.
~ Joel Goldsmith

OUR CONSCIOUS UNION WITH GOD IS ABSOLUTELY PARAMOUNT. [Saved=Awakened from hypnotism]
▪︎▪︎▪︎▪︎▪︎▪︎▪︎▪︎▪︎▪︎▪︎▪︎▪︎▪︎▪︎▪︎▪︎▪︎

Those who are seriously directed to the spiritual path should understand that their work at this moment is not to concern themselves with trying to save the world or even their relatives, but first of all with being saved themselves. This may sound selfish, but it is the very opposite of selfishness. Our primary function is to be concerned with only one thing, and that is that we attain conscious union with God. The rest of the world may have to battle out their woes by themselves while we stand by. We have to keep right on seeking the kingdom of God, seeking to attain our conscious union with God. If meanwhile the world swallows itself up, we cannot help it. It has always been that way.
There have been many civilizations destroyed in the past, and there are going to be quite a few destroyed from here on, but there has always been a remnant of those who were saved when civilizations were destroyed. Always after that destruction there were the few, who not only were saved, but left a record that helped save those of future generations. So it is that the Bible, the scriptures of all peoples and the mystical writings of all nations, these are the things that are helping you and me right now.
We are helped by those who have passed from our sight. Never believe that there is a retrograde step from developed spiritual consciousness. If an individual attains spiritual consciousness on earth, he is a blessing to everyone who brings himself within range of his consciousness and even to some who are not aware of what is going on. But when that individual leaves this human plane of life, his spiritually developed consciousness continues on just the same. It cannot be put into a grave. Those who have meditated with the I know:

‘I was never born and I will never die. That I was never confined in a physical body, much less will I ever be confined in a tomb.’

‘“I and my Father are one,” and therefore I am never limited to time, space, or place. I and the Father within are one, and that One is immortal. Therefore I go on forever and forever and forever. That I which I am is the state of consciousness which I am.’

I, Joel, sit here behind my body and view the world. I. Joel, look out and behold. First, I, Joel, realize that I am unbound, unlimited, free. I have neither restriction nor limitation except such as I mentally accept. For instance, I may mentally accept limited eye sight and thereby restrict my vision, but actually I am infinite and I have infinite or perfect vision and I use my eyes without limit or hindrance. I am not in bondage to physical organs such as organs of eyesight, nor are the accepted mental beliefs about eyesight binding upon me except as I mentally accept such beliefs. I am unbound. My vision is unlimited and unfettered and free. It is merely a matter of realizing that I am infinite. I am infinite. Infinity is the true nature of I, of my being.

I cannot be bound except as I accept mentally a person, circumstance or condition as binding, limiting or restricting. Heretofore, I have been bound by theology, that is, I have mentally accepted the theological belief that I, God, and I, Joel, were two. I, Joel, was to me a limited concept of I, God…I had accepted the theological belief of two-ness. It is very subtle, this belief of twoness, because oneness seems to set up a sense of claiming God-hood and Godhood is theologically something apart from manhood. But take the word “I”…is there actually any other Joel but I? Am I not Joel? And can I be limited by some thing, person or condition other than my acceptance mentally of limitation or bondage?

Here I sit…I, Joel. I am free…I am unbound…I am true being…I am all that I am. I look out and behold a body…my body…her body. What is that to me? Do they restrict or limit me? If…only if I accept mentally such limitation. The mind is the avenue of limitation, through acceptance of belief, the belief that I can be touched, reached, affected by outside forces, powers…or rather, that there are outside forces or powers. I am and must be the only power since I sit here as I…the intelligence, the life, the source of activity and supply.

The secret is in the word I. The secret is the awareness that I Joel, am the I…the unrestricted, unlimited, the infinite, the eternal I. But then I must first recognize this…I, Joel must first recognize this: the further that what I behold as person, circumstance, and condition are not limiting, binding, circumscribing, except as I would mentally accept person or condition as power, as power of limitation. As I write this, I feel no bloated egotism as if I were trying to be or claim something I am not. I “feel” that there is only this I that I am and that I am that unrestricted being. All sense of a lesser selfhood has disappeared. There is truly only one Self…and I am that being…I, Joel, am I…I, Joel, am Joel…Joel and I are not two but one and I am that one. It is as simple as that. Now I actually “see” and “feel” that I am I…that I am Joel…that there is no other I to Joel but the I that Joel is which is the I that I am. Also, I “see” that any sense of restriction or limitation is a mentally entertained one, not an actual condition. This must have been that moment of Mosses…the realization or actual knowledge that there is only one I. I Joel am I. Is that not true? This must be what Isaiah knew. There is no me but me…surely I am I. Is there any other I, any other Joel, any other Self? How can I get…acquire…attain any other I…this is the I that was in Christ Jesus. There isn’t any other. This I even as Joel has no limitation, no end, no bondage, since I am the power. Probably I is the power, the Life, the activity, the intelligence.

At the moment, I am peaceful, serene, calm. Outwardly nothing has changed…but there is a calmness, a peace, that “feels” only one I and seems to know I am that I…there is no other I about.

Watch…watch…and pray.
