Paperback. Condición: Good. Practicing the Presence is one of the four foundational books among Joel Goldsmith's Infinite Way writings. Goldsmith recommended that new students begin with this book, together with Living the Infinite Way. Practicing the Presence is a celebrated guide to the awareness of the divine and transcendental in our daily lives. Goldsmith writes that it was during one of his periods of contemplation that the words came to him, Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on thee. This surprised him, because at that time he was little acquainted with the Bible and only occasionally went to church. But through the study of Scripture and the practice of its teachings, Goldsmith realized that a Presence was with him, counseling, sustaining, and leading him into greater spiritual awareness. Following that realization, he traveled throughout the world, teaching others to know this Presence.Goldsmith says, Every person who has known dissatisfaction, incompleteness, and frustration will someday learn that there is only one missing link in this entire chain of harmonious living. That is the practice of the presence of God - consciously, daily and hourly, abiding in some great spiritual truth of scripture, and it makes no difference which scripture: Christian, Hebrew, Hindu, Buddhist, Taoist, or Moslem. If we begin with practicing the presence of God, it leads to an inner stillness that makes it possible to meditate. Goldsmith sets forth for the reader how to practice the presence from the moment we awaken to the moment we retire for sleep.To Goldsmith, harmonious living is all a matter of consciousness. When we have the right consciousness, we do not want things, but we express the very things which formerly we sought. So, instead of a change of circumstances, what the seeker needs is a change of consciousness. Practicing the Presence helps the seeker make that change by opening consciousness to the life by grace. In clear and direct language, Goldsmith shows that by constantly and consciously practicing the presence of God in every experience of our daily life, the struggles of existence pass and harmony is established in every department of our lives. Seek neither health, nor wealth, nor fame, nor fortune, the author writes. Seek first the realization of this inner kingdom and be a beholder as these outer things are added.…

Paperback. Condición: Fair. God has no way of operating except now, as a continuing now, says Joel Goldsmith in Living Now. This book is a stirring call to forsake the past, free oneself from the chains of faith and hope in the future, and live in the Beingness of now.Goldsmith presents the truth revealed to him that at this very moment, we possess all that will unfold as our experience for all the days to come. It is embodied and embraced within our consciousness, and day by day it will unfold and appear as necessary in our human experience. Every new minute is a continuation of this present minute, says the author, and what we put into this minute is what is going to be a continuing experience for us throughout eternity. All that is embraced in our consciousness now will continue to unfold unto eternity because there is no future time.In Living Now, Goldsmith asks us to imagine what life could be like if we truly grasped the meaning of these challenging revelations. If we can come to the realization of our oneness with God, he says, then God's grace is my sufficiency in all things, and there is a sufficiency with which to meet my every moment's need. Just as I receive only enough air in my lungs for this second's breath, and then a second from now I receive enough air for that second, Joel writes, so every second of my life I receive from the Father within sufficient Grace unto that moment and unto the fulfillment of every requirement of every moment.But how do we come to that realization? By practicing and practicing and practicing, Goldsmith says, and by holding to this truth until gradually our whole consciousness changes. We ponder, meditate, and cogitate upon Reality, and we commune with our inner or spiritual Self. Then through receptivity, we become responsive to impartations from the Infinite. Ever the practical teacher, Goldsmith also identifies the barriers to this spiritual attainment - desire, fear, problems of health or supply, personal egotism, erroneous entrenched beliefs, to name a few - and shows us how to dissolve them. Eventually, he reassures us, we can begin a new pattern of living in this moment, of living each second at a time, knowing that in this second God's grace is at work.

Paperback. Condición: Fair. Appropriately titled A Message for the Ages, this book reviews the spiritual principles of the timeless message of The Infinite Way. Goldsmith begins by asking, What kind of a God do you have? and then leads the reader to the teaching of the Infinite Way on the nature of God as the very Soul of man. He maintains that until we understand the importance of knowing God aright, there is little use of attempting to learn anything further. To understand the nature of God, Goldsmith says, we must know Omniscience, Omnipotence, and Omnipresence. Without the full understanding of their meaning, we can never approach God, and we need the experience of God to reunite us with our Source so that we may be fulfilled from within of the Spirit.But knowing the nature of God is not enough, says the author. We must also know the nature of error, or so-called evil, as well as the nature of the illumined consciousness, and the nature of spiritual power. These principles are the Infinite Way Pearls revealed in this book. Goldsmith also provides substantial direction for the student who wants to raise his consciousness of these principles above mere intellectual understanding and actively live them. The thought-provoking chapter Infinite Way Protective Work, is especially helpful in explaining how we can put Infinite Way principles into practice and maintain harmony in our lives.Six of the chapters in A Message for the Ages include a special section on teaching the Infinite Way message, excerpted from the class recordings of Joel Goldsmith. These selections address topics such as the requirements for being a teacher, how to teach the principles, and the relationship between a teacher and a student. Further, in the chapter Guidelines for Spiritual Unfoldment through the Infinite Way Goldsmith clearly lays out guidelines for conducting an Infinite Way tape group activity and provides detailed guidance for how to study the Infinite Way message, which truly is a message for the ages.…

Paperback. Condición: Good. There is much contemporary interest in the subject of consciousness, and Consciousness Is What I Am addresses the most important and least understood aspects of consciousness - what it is and how it can be opened to Truth. Beginning with the principles of the nature of God and the nature of man, Goldsmith ushers the reader progressively deeper into the secrets of consciousness, revealing how we can attain the highest states of consciousness through meditation and practice.The book points out the landmarks that suggest advancing consciousness as well as the possible pitfalls for the seeker. Once the seeker experiences the universal Christ-Consciousness, Goldsmith says, he will find fulfillment, peace, rest, refreshment, and joy, and be free of the shadows and illusions of the material world. Consciousness Is What I Am shows the reader that the real man is not the physical body, but the consciousness that governs it. In other words, Consciousness is what I am.

Paperback. Condición: Fair. Beyond Words and Thoughts is based on classes that Joel Goldsmith gave after he had received the call from within to lift students out of the metaphysical level of consciousness into the mystical. In the book, he explains that in the metaphysical state of awareness, we use the mind to demonstrate health, wealth, and other material things, or try to use God to overcome evil. But when we attain the mystical consciousness, he says, we relax in the Presence of an inner Grace and let It function. We live without words or thoughts, above material law.Beyond Words and Thoughts sets forth the way that leads to this transition to the mystical consciousness. It shows the seeker how to leave the maze and confusion of words and thoughts and enter into the mystical Silence from which all that is proceeds. In that stillness and Silence, we can hear the still small voice and discover the deepest secrets of life. There the earth of problems melts, and the light of Spirit dawns. This is a book for those who want that one great Experience, which externalizes as a fulfilled life. Note: Beyond Words and Thoughts is the collection of the 1965 Infinite Way Letters.].…

Paperback. Condición: Good. Throughout his entire teaching ministry, Joel Goldsmith taught the spiritual principle that God is expressed as individual consciousness, as your consciousness and mine. Often he used the scriptural quote: The place where thou standest is holy ground to emphasize this principle. As Goldsmith says in I Stand on Holy Ground, There is but one God, and that God is within you. He is with you if you mount up to heaven; He is with you if you make your bed in hell; He is with you if you walk through the valley of the shadow of death. God will function in your experience in the moment of your recognition of Him.In I Stand on Holy Ground, Goldsmith brings the reader to a profound understanding of how to live a spiritual, contemplative life, consciously aware of the presence of God within and constantly recognizing the key mystical truth: I and the Father are one. He shows the practicality of abiding in this truth, as when he says: Where the threat of danger lurks, you will find your security by carrying with you the realization that the place where you stand is holy ground and that no danger of any kind can come near your dwelling place, which is your consciousness. Yet Goldsmith is careful to point out that it is not because God is omnipresent that you are safe, but because of your conscious realization, recognition, and acknowledgment of God's presence.I Stand on Holy Ground presents the Infinite Way principles through the lens of recognizing the truth of our identity. It is a supremely valuable collection of lessons in vintage Goldsmith style. Note: I Stand on Holy Ground is the collection of the 1976 Infinite Way Letters.].…

Paperback. Condición: Good. There are two ways of life open to a person here on earth, says Joel Goldsmith in Living the Illumined Life. There is the human way, the way of the unillumined, and there is the spiritual way, the way of the illumined.What is the difference? The unillumined individual is living by and through his own powers, wisdom, and strength, Goldsmith explains. It is a life of toil, effort, and worry, often limited in education, limited in experience, limited in background, or limited in finances. The illumined individual is living in conscious awareness of an indwelling Presence, Being, Power. He has realized that he is not living his life alone: I live, yet not I; this spirit of the Lord God which is upon me is living my life. This is a life of infinite capacity and complete freedom.Goldsmith boldly asks the reader: Do you believe that the spirit of God dwells in you? Do you believe there is an indwelling Christ in you? Do you believe that you are the temple of God? Do you believe that you can do all things through Christ that dwells in you? If you cannot answer in the affirmative, he says, you are still the unillumined. But, he encourages, you are the one who can change that.For those who are inspired to make the transition and live life as one of the illumined, Living the Illumined Life clearly lays out the principles and practices that can purify consciousness and lift the sincere seeker to the awareness of the Presence and Power within. Then as illumination comes, he can walk free and unfettered, without fear, by Grace. Note: Living the Illumined Life is the collection of the 1972 Infinite Way Letters.].…

Paperback. Condición: Good. Drawing its title from the biblical story of the prodigal son, The Journey Back to the Father's House explains that we have wandered away from knowing our true Self and our spiritual home in the kingdom of God within. We have immersed ourselves in the deceptions and illusions of the material world, and if we want a life of true peace and harmony, we must make the return journey. This is a journey which is accomplished within ourselves as an activity of consciousness.Goldsmith says, In any moment of your life, you can begin the journey back to the Father's house. In your human sense of life, you are a prodigal son. Each day you are using up some of your life . each day some of your strength, health, or wisdom is lessening in the human picture. That is the life of the prodigal. But, he continues, The moment that you realize, 'Man shall not live by bread alone' or by the body, but by every word that proceeds out of the mouth of God, you are not living on your strength, your supply, your body, or the number of your years. Now you are drawing forth your life and abundance from the source.But how are we to make this return journey? Goldsmith explains that we must attain that mind which was in Christ Jesus, or the transcendental mind that goes beyond the mere intellectual understanding of the letter of truth to the full spiritual realization. He shows the reader how to make that transition by clearing out old concepts of truth, meditating faithfully, and continuously practicing and applying spiritual principles.But, Goldsmith counsels, the journey takes time and practice: Every truth heard or read that makes you feel it is truth, is a seed that is being taken into your consciousness. You can no more expect it to do something for you tomorrow than if you planted an apple seed today and expected to find apples growing in your yard tomorrow. The seeds of truth must be nurtured and fed until they are in full flower.As we live with these seeds of truth and cultivate them in a receptive attitude, Goldsmith says, we are on the path back to the Father's house and to realizing our original relationship of oneness with God. This relationship of oneness is the pearl of great price that enables us to open out a way for harmony in all aspects of life to come forth from within.

Paperback. Condición: Good. Jesus said, Leave your nets and follow me. Joel Goldsmith's Leave Your Nets is a similar call to set forth on that great adventure, the journey of the Spirit. This book in no way suggests that we leave our occupations, our families, or other obligations. Rather, Goldsmith sets forth the premise that unless and until we leave our dependency on the material consciousness of things and develop spiritual consciousness, we will be bound to the limitations of human existence.Leave Your Nets shows the reader how to live and work here and now with a constant sense of peace and with greater creativity and efficiency. Goldsmith explains the way to awaken from the passive, hypnotic sleep of the material world to a new, fulfilling and enlightened spiritual world, in which all beings are at one with God and at inner peace with themselves. This book has tremendous value for those who want to accept the call to awaken and become a light unto the world and a 'fisher of men.'.…

Paperback. Condición: Good. The Contemplative Life is a guide for those who are seeking a way to be in the world but not of it. In this book, Goldsmith explains how to bridge the gap between the compelling activities of daily living and the absolute silence of our inner Being, where we are one with God. He brings fresh insight to the practice of contemplation and meditation and explains how to make the mind an instrument for the free flowing of the Spirit.In The Contemplative Life, Goldsmith explains the life of contemplation and its mystical outcome: spiritual unfoldment and spiritual oneness. He explains how to become aware of the presence of God within and how we can come into the fullness of the scriptural promise that when we take no thought and seek God first, all things will be added unto us. In revealing how the practice of contemplation leads to actual inner experience of truth, Goldsmith covers topics such as conscious awareness, daily preparation for spiritual living, contemplative meditation, the secret of supply, and being a beholder of God's grace.After The Contemplative Life was published, Joel said that it became his Infinite Way Bible, and said that Chapter 8 in the book, Contemplation Develops the Beholder is one of the most important chapters in all of the Infinite Way writings. Note: The Contemplative Life is the collection of the 1961 Infinite Way Letters.].…

Paperback. Condición: Fair. For twelve years Joel Goldsmith had been searching for the way to live a truly spiritual life without retreating from the world, often feeling on the verge of discovery, but always finding it quietly elusive. The quest continued, and one morning, as he awakened on the island of Maui, the secret revealed itself in a flood of gradual unfoldments. The result of this spiritual discovery is Living Between Two Worlds.This book shows us how to live a more fulfilling and spiritual life at home and at work, without neglecting daily responsibilities. It portrays a way of life that leads us from the world of material sense in which we give power to persons, things, and conditions, to the world of spiritual awareness, where we realize God as the only power and experience the peace and contentment of the inner kingdom.Goldsmith found that the key is understanding the kingdom of God which, as he writes, does not deal with something separate and apart from living. The kingdom of God concerns itself with our daily life. It is not meant to take us out of the world, but rather to leave us in the world, separate and apart from its negative aspects. But how is this to be done in the world of our everyday experience - a world of conflict, illness, petty concerns, and greed? What attitude should we take toward the world of materiality that surrounds and envelops us? Answers to these vital questions are given in Living Between Two Worlds. This is a book for those who would learn to walk the narrow path which leads to the experience of the Christ within and makes us heirs to the kingdom of God. Note: Living Between Two Worlds is the collection of the 1967 Infinite Way Letters.].…
