All the error that has existed down the ages is founded on the
theory or belief of two worlds, one the heavenly kingdom, or spiritual life,
and the other a material world or mortal existence, each separate from the
other.
In spite of this sense of two worlds, men have always attempted
to bring harmony into the discords of human existence through an attempt, by
prayer, to contact this other world, or spiritual realm, and to bring Spirit,
or God, to act upon the so-called material existence.
Let us begin with the understanding that our world is not an
erroneous one, but rather that the universe in which we live is the realm of
reality about which man entertains a false concept. The work of bringing health
and harmony into our experience is not, then, getting rid of, or even changing,
a mortal material universe, but correcting the finite concept of our existence. The Infinite Way by Joel Goldsmith
MY AFFAIRS
My affairs are in the hands of Him
Who guides the planets in their course,
And Who causes the Sun to shine.
Divine Understanding attends me on the Way,
And I shall not be hindered in my work.
My affairs are controlled by Perfect Intelligence,
And cannot be hindered from expression.
I know that all that I do is done from the One
Motive:
To express Life; and Life will be expressed
In and through me. I cannot hinder it.
I am controlled by Intelligence.SOM
Your true
nature is just and honorable. All people can trust you. Bear these words in
your mind daily: “With thee is the fountain of life; in thy light shall we
see light.” ECH
"We
must pass from the belief that something external has power over us to the realization
that all power is derived from God and is given to us. Whether it is the organs
and functions of the body, the food we eat, or the climate or weather outside,
it is our consciousness that determines its good in our experience. When we
realize this we have made a transition out of material sense into spiritual
consciousness."-- from Joel Goldsmith's
"Consciousness Is What I Am"-Chapter 9 - The Issues of Life Are in
Consciousness
If you cannot hear the
Voice for God, it is because you do not choose to listen. That you do listen to
the voice of your ego is demonstrated by your attitudes, your feelings and your
behaviour. Yet this is what you want. This is what you are fighting to keep,
and what you are vigilant to save. Your mind is filled with schemes to save the
face of your ego, and you do not seek the face of Christ. (CH4, IV, 1.1:1.5)
"The secret of
meditation is silence: no repetitions, no affirmations, no denials -- just the
acknowledgement of God's allness, and then the deep, deep silence which
announces God's presence." -- from
Joel Goldsmith's "Practicing the Presence" Chapter 7 - Meditation
