Paperback. Zustand: 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. Zustand: 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. Zustand: 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. Zustand: 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. Zustand: 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. Zustand: 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. Zustand: Fair. 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. Zustand: Good. I came back to Deep Cove with a 6-year-old secret and a million memories I've tried hard to forget. But I've never been able to forget him.Ford Winters is more than just my ex. He's my first love. He's the only man I've ever truly given my heart to. He's also the father of a little girl he doesn't even know exists. I didn't plan on coming back home, but when I found out my mom needed me, I didn't hesitate. So here we are, my daughter Poppy and I, back in the place where I left my shattered heart all those years ago. What I didn't expect? Walking into the office of my new perfect-on-paper marketing job to discover Ford owns the multi-million dollar company. He won't even look at me. He's furious, and he has every right to be after I walked out of his life without even a goodbye. But I need this job, and the company needs me, so we're going to have to make this work. Easier said than done. The pull between us is magnetic. The tension is impossible to ignore. Every second we spend together is fire, and when he finally kisses me, I'm reminded why my heart has always been his. But when I see how kind and sweet Ford is with my daughter-our daughter-it makes the guilt inside me twist like a knife. If he knew the real reason I walked away from him, if he knew the secret I still can't bring myself to reveal, he would never forgive me. I can't keep the truth from him for much longer, but how do I tell him without losing everything.…

Paperback. Zustand: 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.
