How-To: Books of Infinite Way Letters

The Easter Letters

ISBN: 978-1-939542-62-5
Retail Price $16.95

As Joel Goldsmith’s teaching and healing ministry took him to the far corners of the world, he sent a Monthly Letter to his students.  The Easter Letters comprises ten of these letters, each of which beautifully commemorates the mystery and majesty of Easter. Whereas Christmas brings the promise of peace on earth to all, within all, Easter reveals the achievement of full Christhood by the Master and reveals the way by which we can attain immortality.

In The Easter Letters, Goldsmith seems to step from behind the dais and sit down with the reader who seeks this ascension above material sense. With warmth and clarity, he lays out the steps in the form of a concise outline entitled, “What the Infinite Way Reveals.”  With that masterful blueprint as a guide, the book brings into sharp focus the life of the Master Jesus, and provides powerful instruction and revelation about the living Easter experience that happens day by day in the life of every truth-seeker. The Easter Letters guides and inspires. It invites readers to consciously experience and embrace the ever-expanding life of birth, death (dying to concepts), and resurrection welling up within every living moment.  It is a true celebration of Easter, and offers an inspiring set of contemplations and reflections for the Lenten season.

The Christmas Letters

ISBN: 978-1-939542-60-1
Retail Price $16.95

The Christmas Letters is a collection of inspiring words from Joel S. Goldsmith that shine a new spiritual light on the inner joy of the Christmas season.  It is a compilation of the December Infinite Way Monthly Letters that the author sent out over the many years of his ministry to his students around the world. Each chapter celebrates an aspect of the universal Christ message of “Christ in us.”

The material in the book may feel familiar to many and brand new to others, but what is clear is its purpose to illuminate for the reader the ever-growing richness of his or her own awakening consciousness with its ever-widening depths of spiritual discernment.  The Christmas Letters touches all aspects of the spiritual journey from sense to Soul, highlighting the profound truth that Christmas is not one day in the year, but is the living reality hidden within each and every soul on earth.

The author writes, “To understand Christmas Day, then, let us understand clearly that God has planted the seed of Himself in each of us, the seed that springs forth as the fully developed son of God whose mission it is that our lives may be fulfilled, that we may show forth the glory of God which the Master revealed.”

The Heart of Mysticism: Vol VI – 1959 Letters

ISBN: 978-1-939542-77-9
Retail Price $16.95

Beginning in 1954, Joel wrote a monthly Letter as a specific teaching tool for his students and felt this was his way of remaining in touch with those who sought his guidance in all parts of the world. He could not emphasize the importance of these Letters enough and stated in one of his final classes that:

The books of the Infinite Way Letters 1954, ‘55, ‘56, ‘57, ‘58, ‘59 and then Our Spiritual Resources created from the Letters of 1960 and The Contemplative Life created from the Letters of 1961 are as important as any books we have, if not more so, because here you get in every chapter certain principles and their application so that you can always go to those books and find a working tool.

Although all of Joel’s monthly Letters after 1959 were eventually published as individual books with specific titles, those considered among the most valuable—the 1954 through 1959 Letters—were not. Acropolis Books is pleased to present a six-volume collection of these invaluable Letters entitled The Heart of Mysticism.

The Only Freedom

ISBN: 978-1-889051-70-3
Retail Price $16.95

The Only Freedom reveals the possibility of attaining a state of permanent freedom. It is not the freedom we experience when we recover from some disease, for in that state we always know or expect that some other ailment can afflict us. It is not the freedom from lack that a wonderful new job or large inheritance may bring, for these also can fail us. The freedom described in The Only Freedom is a freedom already within us, but which can be reached only through the discipline of knowing the truth – the truth about God, man, and the nature of error – and standing firmly in the principles behind these truths. As Goldsmith says, “If we are not abiding in the Word and letting the Word abide in us, all the evils of this world can come near our dwelling place.”

Throughout this book Goldsmith shows us how to find “the liberty of the sons of God” within ourselves. He says that it may not be easy, but that freedom and fulfillment will be the end result: “Wherever there is a realization of God, man is given his freedom, not only spiritual freedom, but a spiritual freedom which becomes evident as physical, mental, moral and financial freedom.”

[Note: The Only Freedom is the collection of the 1981 Infinite Way Letters.]

Showing Forth
the Presence of God

ISBN: 978-1-889051-69-7
Retail Price $16.95

The theme and focus of Showing Forth the Presence of God is at the heart of the message of The Infinite Way: that within each of us dwells a living and immediate Presence, the Spirit of God, which is “closer than breathing and nearer than hands and feet.” Chapter by chapter, the author unfolds insightful, practical instruction on how to discover this Presence within and let it show forth. He illustrates with great care how this awareness will generate a new vitality and freedom in our day-to-day affairs. “It is the nature of God that we be free. It is the nature of God that we be whole,” Goldsmith exclaims, and then goes on to emphasize who “we” are. “The son of God is more than a man who lived two thousand years ago; the son of God is the Spirit of God that dwelt in the man Jesus, and that dwells in every man. Therefore, the son of God is present in you and me.”

Discovering that Son of God within us and knowing what it means to express that in our daily life is the message of this book. Recognizing the truth that we are sons of God, we come to realize that the universe is not outside of us, but is embodied within our consciousness. “There is no selfhood apart from God,” Goldsmith explains, “nor is there a creation apart from God. What we call a material creation is not a material creation: it is a material sense of creation….everything in this universe answers, responds, and is subject to the divine Consciousness which is God.” Showing Forth the Presence of God will help the spiritual seeker understand the momentous implications of that truth.

[Note: Showing Forth the Presence of God is the collection of the 1980 Infinite Way Letters.]

The Journey Back to the Father’s House

ISBN: 978-1-889051-68-0
Retail Price $16.95

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.

God Formed Us
for His Glory

ISBN: 978-1-889051-67-3
Retail Price $16.95

God Formed Us for His Glory is a beautiful portrayal of our true identity. Goldsmith asks “Do we know our true identity? Do we know who we are, for therein lies the secret. Are we human beings? Are we sinners? Are we mortal? Is that our identity or is that a mistaken concept of ourselves which we must outgrow, outlive, and outlearn?”

Goldsmith says that realizing our true identity and rightful heritage will set us free to live joyous and fulfilling lives, and he reveals ways to uncover and express the beauty and splendor that is our true Being. The main way to release this true “I” within us, Goldsmith says, is through meditation. “The experience of meditation ultimately becomes an individual one. You, yourself have to come to a place within you where a release comes, where there is an awareness of an inner contact. Then there are signs following: harmony, healing and all good.” This is grace, but without that contact with our true Self, grace cannot flow to us.

“Have you ever stopped to realize that God formed us for His Glory?” Goldsmith asks. “You would think we made ourselves, the way we worry about ourselves. God formed us for His purpose and His plan.” God Formed Us for His Glory brings the spiritual seeker home to that truth.

The Art of Spiritual Living

ISBN: 978-1-889051-66-6
Retail Price $16.95

Joel Goldsmith has written many books about the principles that constitute the message of the Infinite Way. In The Art of Spiritual Living, he focuses on how we can bring those principles into every phase of life – health, supply, business, home, relationships – and experience their transforming influence. “Being able to live the spiritual life,” he says, is dependent upon your knowing, first of all, that God is your selfhood and the selfhood of everyone you meet, and then knowing that the Father within you knows your need. You must know that it is His good pleasure to give you the kingdom, and you can rest and relax in that assurance. When you have that assurance, you are really living the spiritual life.”

With each lesson in spiritual living, Goldsmith drills down into the deeper meaning, as when he says, “The basis of all spiritual living is that I and the Father are one. But if we leave out any individual anywhere, we are losing our demonstration. We cannot say, ‘I and my Father are one,’ and then omit anyone else. It may be difficult at first to look around the world and as we recall a few names and faces, say with disbelief, ‘What? You, too, are one with God?’ No, judging by appearances; but in truth I and the Father are one is a universal truth.”

The Art of Spiritual Living lays out a clear choice between living humanly and living spiritually. Goldsmith gives the reader extensive instruction on how to live spiritually, from rising in the morning to retiring at night by anchoring oneself in the spiritual principles and practices of the Infinite Way message. Using interesting and sometimes amusing stories from his own experience, he illustrates the practicality of spiritual living and shows how it can shape every aspect of life and bring peace, harmony, and freedom. “All scripture is agreed that you must abide in Me and let Me abide in you. You must live, and move, and have your being in God, and you must let God abide in you.” This is the art of spiritual living.

Spiritual Discernment

ISBN: 978-1-889051-63-5
Retail Price $16.95

In this captivating book, Joel Goldsmith addresses a difficult problem encountered by many spiritual seekers. “You go from one truth to another and, if you are at all like most persons, you will someday say to yourself, ‘Well, I know all the truth that is to be known, but it doesn’t seem to do much for me.’” The reason for that, says Goldsmith, is that “so far it has been only an intellectual acceptance of the truth: it has not been the spiritual discernment of it. It has not been an inner conviction; it has not come with spiritual power to make itself alive.”

Spiritual Discernment is a gift to any truth student who wants to go beyond intellectual understanding. Here Goldsmith is at his best, guiding the reader in how to develop the spiritual discernment that carries with it spiritual power. “We build the capacity of spiritual discernment,” he says, “as we agree that God’s universe is wholly good and wholly spiritual. With our eyes we cannot believe this, nor with our ears. Our mind will never convince us of this, because our mind is seeing, hearing, tasting, touching, and smelling too much of evil. Therefore, we must be still; we must attain quietness and peace and the ability to live in that attitude so that instead of indulging our likes and dislikes, instead of judging by appearances, we let the spiritual faculty within us discern the nature of that which is appearing to us and being revealed to us.”

Spiritual discernment is a capacity that we all have, but which lies buried deep and dormant within us due to the deadening human legacy of centuries of material experience. Spiritual Discernment goes a long way in helping the dedicated seeker liberate his capacity for spiritual discernment and bring it into its fullness. “As the inner faculty of discernment is developed,” Goldsmith asserts, “we begin to see spiritually, hear spiritually, and know spiritually, and in proportion as we develop the power of spiritual discernment, is everyone who comes within range of our consciousness blessed.”

Seek Ye First

ISBN: 978-1-889051-60-4
Retail Price $16.95

Most truth students know the Bible passage “Take no thought, saying, What shall we eat? or, What shall we drink? or, Wherewithal shall we be clothed? for your heavenly Father knoweth that ye have need of all these things. But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.” Yet although many believe they sincerely seek the kingdom of God, they do not experience the added things. Why? Joel Goldsmith’s book Seek Ye First illumines the inner, true meaning of that familiar Bible passage in unique way that will elicit a resounding “A-ha!” in those who have struggled to understand it.

Goldsmith says that we do not experience the fruitage of the biblical promise because we hold onto erroneous concepts of God and prayer. We pray to God for things or we try to attain them through mental work. Before we can experience the grace of the “added things,” he says, we must first correct our concepts. Goldsmith proceeds to re-educate the reader on the nature of God and the nature of prayer as he masterfully goes through the spiritual principles and practices revealed in The Infinite Way.

The author asserts, “God’s grace can reach us only as we are attuned to the kingdom of God within.” Emphasizing that meditation is the way to come into this spiritual attunement, he reveals the secret: we must not go into meditation for anything. We must not go to God for health, wealth, companionship, or a home. We must have no material motive because this is the almost insurmountable barrier to God-realization. We must seek only illumination, the experience of the Christ within. “Only when you can stop taking thought for your life, stop praying to a Santa-Claus-God with promises to be good if only He will deliver, will you attain.”

While this may seem very abstract at first, Goldsmith reminds us that what takes place in our inner world governs our outer world. After we have found that inner Grace and made our inner contact, we awake and find that all things have been added unto us, for the illumined mind is the substance of fulfillment at every level of our existence – even the most practical.

Those who want to explore the depths of Goldsmith’s mystical teaching will find Seek Ye First a trustworthy guide brimming with a wealth of wisdom from his inspired classes.

Living the Illumined Life

ISBN: 978-1-889051-61-1
Retail Price $16.95

“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.

Living by the Word

ISBN: 978-1-889051-60-4
Retail Price $16.95

Jesus said, “It is written that man does not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God,” and he told us to “abide in the word and let the word abide in you.” What is this “word” and what does it mean to “abide” in it? This is the key question that Joel Goldsmith answers in Living by the Word.

Throughout the book, Goldsmith considers specific Scriptural passages and takes the reader far beyond their literal sense to unveil their inner spiritual meaning. He gives thorough and practical instruction about how to work with Bible passages to discern their depth and live by them. “‘When we study and search the scriptures,” Goldsmith says, “we are fed as never before; we are guided, directed, and protected as never before; but always in direct proportion as we make these passages of scripture our daily bread.”

Throughout all the Infinite Way writings, Goldsmith asserts that all discord in life is the result of man’s sense of separation from God, and that coming into the realization that “I and the Father are one” is the liberating influence. In Living by the Word, he shows the reader how Scripture can play an important role in that journey back to our true Self. As he says, “The way to oneness, to conscious union with God, is through the word of God. It is the word of God maintained in consciousness, lived with, dwelt upon, and abided in that ultimately restores that conscious union.” By working with inspirational Bible passages and applying them in our daily experience, our mind begins to lose its spiritual ignorance and becomes illumined, and the outer experience of life becomes harmonious.

Goldsmith explains that the spiritual promises in Scripture apply to us only when we are in our spiritual oneness with God and receive them as impartations from within. In a word of encouragement to engage in the valuable practice of Scriptural study, Goldsmith says, “The Bible and the truths of the Bible will not do anything for you in a book … These Bible texts begin to work for you only after you have moved them out of the books into your consciousness, dwelt on them, pondered them … and let them take root and grow.” Living by the Word shows the reader how to do just that.

I Stand on Holy Ground

ISBN: 978-188905-165-9
Retail Price $16.95

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.]

A Message for the Ages

ISBN: 978-1-889051-64-2
Retail Price $16.95

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.”

[Note: A Message for the Ages is the collection of the 1975 Infinite Way Letters.]

Spiritual Power of Truth

ISBN: 9780875167138
Retail Price $15.95

Jesus said, “Ye shall know the Truth and the Truth shall make you free.” What is this Truth that we must know? What is the freedom that it gives? These are some of the questions answered by Joel Goldsmith in Spiritual Power of Truth.

The fact that Truth is true is of no avail to us, Goldsmith tells us. “That is why you’ve got to know the Truth. You have to know it consciously and you have to know it constantly. The responsibility is upon your shoulders.” He explains, “The teachings of the world have not gone beyond seeking Truth through the mind, through books, and through teachings, and until you realize that you never are going to find the Truth in this way, you have not even begun your spiritual journey. The Truth, this secret behind the universe, it is not to be known with the mind or through the mind.”

How, then, are we to know the Truth? Goldsmith makes it clear that ‘knowing the truth’ does not mean intellectually understanding statements of truth or repeatedly affirming them. Rather, knowing the truth is a deep realization in consciousness that comes through meditation and living the spiritual principles. Only when we have that realization can we experience the spiritual power of Truth. At the core of this realization, he explains, is always the truth that “I and the Father are one.”

In Spiritual Power of Truth, Goldsmith guides the reader through the terrain of spiritual wisdom on the subject of Truth, including the relationship of Truth and spiritual healing; the meaning of spiritual power and how it has been misinterpreted; the meaning of illusion; and how our knowing the truth can benefit others. Throughout the book, Goldsmith anchors his teaching in the spiritual truths that constitute the message of the Infinite Way: the nature of God, man, prayer, and error. Finally, ever determined that students will not simply take his word as truth but make it their own, he reminds the reader: “There is no way on earth that you are ever going to know that you have learned a lesson of Truth unless you demonstrate it, you prove it to be so.”

[Note: Spiritual Power of Truth is the collection of the 1989-90 Infinite Way Letters.]

The Heart of Mysticism: Vol I – 1954 Letters

ISBN: 978-1-939542-72-4
Retail Price $16.95

Beginning in 1954, Joel wrote a monthly Letter as a specific teaching tool for his students and felt this was his way of remaining in touch with those who sought his guidance in all parts of the world. He could not emphasize the importance of these Letters enough and stated in one of his final classes that:

The books of the Infinite Way Letters 1954, ‘55, ‘56, ‘57, ‘58, ‘59 and then Our Spiritual Resources created from the Letters of 1960 and The Contemplative Life created from the Letters of 1961 are as important as any books we have, if not more so, because here you get in every chapter certain principles and their application so that you can always go to those books and find a working tool.

Although all of Joel’s monthly Letters after 1959 were eventually published as individual books with specific titles, those considered among the most valuable—the 1954 through 1959 Letters—were not. Acropolis Books is pleased to present a six-volume collection of these invaluable Letters entitled The Heart of Mysticism.

Living by Grace

ISBN: 978-1-939542-71-7
Retail Price $16.95

Joel Goldsmith taught that we all have a mission in life and that the purpose to living a spiritual life is to prepare us to do healing work in the world. That mission, Goldsmith believed, is the same for all of us – to heal the world from disease, sin, corruption, poverty, exploitation of natural resources, pollution, crime, and war. We are guided on this life path only by personal revelation – what Goldsmith called “The Infinite Way.” The form can be whatever tradition best suits us, be it Hindu, Buddhist, Jewish, Christian, or Muslim.

“Those of you who have witnessed or experienced spiritual healing realize that it was brought about by the realization of the Spirit; of an individual whom we may call practitioner, teacher, leader, or minister,” writes Goldsmith. “The healing, the performing, the saving processes do not take place until that Spirit is brought to light in and through the consciousness of an individual.”

Living by Grace is a masterful collection of Goldsmith’s deepest teachings on how to live The Infinite Way and be a healing influence. It includes an overview of the path to spiritual consciousness from the neophyte to the final stages. Never before published in one volume, these essays consistently display the wisdom of Goldsmith’s insights into the hidden power within us. As he reminds us, “That which I am seeking, I am.”

Invisible Supply

ISBN: 978-1-939542-70-0
Retail Price $16.95

Invisible Supply offers the reader a new perspective on the subject of supply. Goldsmith tells us that while we typically believe that money constitutes our supply and that it comes through material means, this is not so. “The Infinite Way principle of supply,” Goldsmith says, “is that in our oneness with God, we already have all that the Father has because ‘I and the Father are one and all that the Father has is mine.’ If we individually are experiencing a lack, it is not because of any actual lack. It is because of our inability to make contact with our supply … The principle of supply is the realization that we already have, even though appearances may not testify to that.”

In Invisible Supply, Goldsmith outlines the principles that can not only bring about growth of spiritual consciousness and inner peace, but also provide for material needs. In Goldsmith’s words, “Supply is infinite and it is omnipresent wherever you may be. Like Moses, we can realize that we do not have to live on yesterday’s manna, nor do we have to gather today’s manna for tomorrow. The supply is infinite.” This realization manifests in our experience as the fulfillment of every need.

Goldsmith guides the reader to see that to realize the infinite nature of supply, we must develop spiritual consciousness, which means coming to the experience of one’s true Self. He emphasizes the important role of meditation and practicing the principles in bringing us to the place where we can rely on the Infinite Invisible for all things. Invisible Supply explains the principles of infinite supply in detail not found in any other book.

Awakening Mystical Consciousness

ISBN: 978-1-889051-84-0
Retail Price $16.95

Hidden behind the personal self is the real Self, that which Paul called “The Christ,” or our spiritual identity. To awaken mystical consciousness is to come to that point where we can spiritually apprehend this truth about ourselves and about each other and live by it.

In Awakening Mystical Consciousness, Goldsmith explains the spiritual principles and practices that will help us to awaken. He instructs the reader in how to use contemplation, meditation, and inner communion to attain the realization of the true Self. With care and in detail, he addresses the nature of God as omnipresence, omnipotence, and omniscience; the nature of spiritual power; our real identity; the nature of concepts; and the barriers that obstruct the way to realization. But Goldsmith clearly emphasizes that these statements of truth are not truth. They only help us get into the center of Being, where we can be receptive to the inner voice.

A mainstay of this book is erasing the false concept that man is separated from God, and that there is a God “out there” that can take away our sins, diseases, lacks and limitations. “Through this work,” says Goldsmith, “you are going to awaken out of the dream that there can be any separation. It wakes you up, and then you look around and realize you are in heaven. You have been there all the time, dreaming you were in hell.”

Goldsmith explains that awakening to mystical consciousness bears great fruitage. Through our realization of oneness, we regain our original dominion over our bodies and our lives. We can also demonstrate the healing consciousness, that consciousness that knows there is nothing to be healed, but only Truth to be revealed. “The goal,” he says, “is the attainment of this Spirit of God” – mystical consciousness. “That is the entire goal of the spiritual life.”

Consciousness Is
What I Am

ISBN: 978-1-889051-83-3
Retail Price $16.95

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.

The Altitude of Prayer

ISBN: 978-1-939542-61-8
Retail Price $16.95

In The Altitude of Prayer, Joel Goldsmith gives the reader a new and fresh understanding of prayer and how to practice it. Contrary to popular belief, Goldsmith says, prayer is not our speaking to God. Rather it is God speaking to us. He explains that prayer does not require words or thoughts; it calls for stillness and silence. Prayer is an attitude, an altitude, and an atmosphere, he says. It is a state of consciousness, a commending of our souls, our destinies, our very selves into the hands of God.

True prayer opens a new dimension in our lives as we receive impartations from our true Self, the full and complete expression of God within. We avoid the inharmonies and discords of human life and climb to the highest altitudes of Spirit, where we see an expanded horizon of life’s grandeur and possibilities. Our contact with this infinite Source within brings forth and maintains harmony, beauty, peace, wholeness and completeness, and we live by Grace.

With an incomparable blend of spiritual vision and practical advice, Goldsmith explains how we can attain the heights of prayer and the joy of union with our Source. Step by step, he lays out how to prepare for prayer through humility, benevolence, and forgiveness, and by emptying out all material desires and old ideas of prayer. We must also know, he says, that God is the only law and the only power, so that in prayer we do not seek God as a power over some evil. When we fulfill these conditions and make ourselves receptive, we create a vacuum into which the divine Presence can flow and function as our life. As he affirms, “Eventually the day comes when you can say, ‘I am not living my own life. I am living, yes, but I am not striving or struggling: Christ is living my life.’ Then you are praying the prayer that enables you to be in the inner sanctuary within yourself and there tabernacle with God.”

Taking the reader through a typical day, Goldsmith shows how to live a life of prayer by beginning and ending the day in recognition of the Presence within, and throughout the day, remaining in an inner stillness and listening attitude even as we go about our daily routine. This is “keeping the mind stayed on God,” and “praying without ceasing.” Through meditation and prayer, we develop spiritual discernment, and the kingdom of God is revealed from within through spiritual means.

The Altitude of Prayer is Goldsmith’s most significant work on the subject of prayer, and will be a great inspiration to anyone who wants to deepen their awareness and appreciation of prayer.

Living Between
Two Worlds

ISBN: 978-1-889051-81-9
Retail Price $16.95

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.

The Mystical I

ISBN: 978-1-889051-76-5
Retail Price $16.95

In The Mystical I, Joel Goldsmith reveals in contemporary language that which Jesus showed to the world – that there is a human “I” and an “I” that is the Son of God. Jesus said “I can of myself do nothing,” and that is the truth about our human I. But as the “I” that is the Son of God, the Master announced, “I am the way, the truth and the life.” The Mystical I gives readers the fullness of this relevant and timely Christ message. Goldsmith shows us that this “Son of God I” is the I that “stands at the door and knocks” within each and every one of us awaiting recognition and acknowledgment. For ages this profound truth has been veiled, says Goldsmith, by worshiping the one who reveals the Word of God, instead of the I abiding within each of us. As a result, we have lost touch with this true I, and that is the reason for all of our problems.

The Mystical I answers the age-old question of how to attain oneness with the I that we truly are, that which fulfills us. Goldsmith writes, “When you open the door of your consciousness and admit I, you will find the Presence – at first slowly and gradually, because none of us could take it all in one leap – but you will find that the Presence flows out from you in the forms necessary to your daily experience.” Goldsmith gives encouragement to the reader to be receptive and listen for the “still, small voice” of God and to cherish it secretly in consciousness until it flows freely and fully. Then, he says, you will be able to hear, “I in the midst of you am God.”

The Mystical I is a wonderful gift that will be cherished by all who want to plumb the depths of spiritual consciousness.

Beyond Words and Thoughts

ISBN: 978-1-889051-36-9
Retail Price $16.95

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.

Realization of Oneness

ISBN: 978-1-889051-78-9
Retail Price $16.95

Ever since Jesus declared, “I and the Father are one,” the spiritual idea of oneness has been a theme favored by every teacher of mystical wisdom. Realization of Oneness clearly presents specific principles to help the seeker remove every barrier to the experience of oneness and unlock the door to a life of fulfillment.

Key to the realization of oneness is the Infinite Way principle set forth in the chapter “No And.” Here Goldsmith explains that we are dealing only with two things. One is the truth of God manifesting Itself, expressing infinite harmonies. The other is the appearance, suggestion, or claim of a selfhood and universe apart from God, which manifests as error in many forms – sin, disease, death, lack and limitation of all kinds. By seeing through the appearance, Goldsmith says, harmony is revealed. As we get still, quiet the senses, and let spiritual awareness reveal the truth of Being, we come to a state where we can rest in Oneness. We can experience the Christ Consciousness that allows us to see rightly and to realize the unlimited, infinite magnificence of the true identity of every individual.

Since the realization of oneness is essential to the practice of spiritual healing, Realization of Oneness also serves as a definitive and practical work on spiritual healing. Goldsmith clearly lays out the principles of spiritual healing and shows how they can be applied in every area of human experience.

[Note: Realization of Oneness is the collection of the 1964 Infinite Way Letters.]

Living Now

ISBN: 978-1-889051-51-2
Retail Price $16.95

“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.

Man Was Not Born to Cry

ISBN: 978-1-889051-32-1
Retail Price $16.95

“The purpose of man is to show forth the nature of God,” says Joel Goldsmith in Man Was Not Born to Cry. “Man is the great glory of God. Man was not meant to cry, and all his tears are shed only because of a sense of limitation. Man was not born to cry!” With that provocative statement, Goldsmith takes the reader on a journey that reveals the way to rise out of this sense of limitation. “You know you have a body and you know you have a mind, but you have not come to know the You that has the body and the mind. This is the You that is the adventure of life, and the adventure of life is the awakening of this You.”

As if giving private instruction to the reader, Goldsmith lays out the spiritual principles and practices that lead to liberation. He begins with the fundamental truth that God constitutes individual being, and explains that living in the conscious awareness of this truth can move us out of the personal sense of life that is the root of our problems into the spiritual consciousness where we live in glorious freedom under grace. Building on that foundation, Goldsmith details the other major principles of the Infinite Way. Emphasizing the role of prayer, he reminds us that prayer is not asking or pleading with God, but a resting in silence and a listening for the “still, small voice.” All along the way, he helps the reader empty out old theories, concepts, and beliefs and make way for the “new wine” of Spirit.

Never one to give students an unrealistic view of what it takes to have such a profound spiritual realization, Goldsmith emphasizes that this transformation in consciousness requires commitment, dedication, and continual practice of the principles. “When we come to the place of praying without ceasing, abiding in the Word and letting the Word abide in us, dwelling in the secret place of the most High, living and moving and having our being in the consciousness of truth,” he says, “then we can look forward to harmony.”

With its clear revelation of the beautiful possibilities available to the sincere student as well as its practical instruction on the means of attainment, Man Was Not Born to Cry will prove a treasured volume that inspires and encourages the spiritual seeker.

The Contemplative Life

ISBN: 978-1-889051-44-4
Retail Price $16.95

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.

Our Spiritual Resources

ISBN: 978-1-889051-77-2
Retail Price $16.95

Many people find it difficult to attain a balance between living by meditation and Grace and living effectively in the world, feeling that they have to choose between them. Our Spiritual Resources makes it clear that we do not have to retire from the world, for our daily responsibilities themselves can spur us on to spiritual unfoldment. In fact, says Goldsmith, meeting everyday problems and responsibilities through the practice of spiritual principles is a more effective way of attaining a realized consciousness of oneness than withdrawing from the world. Problems and situations become opportunities for us to practice applying spiritual principles and to access our spiritual resources.

In Our Spiritual Resources, Goldsmith blends deep spiritual wisdom with a realistic understanding of the practicalities of daily living, making it a textbook for living in the world without being of it. He shows the reader how living in harmony with the eternal principles of spiritual living and spiritual healing can transform every aspect of life – physical, financial, social, governmental and spiritual. “The truth of the matter,” says Goldsmith, “is that there is nothing more practical, progressive, or prosperous than a life lived in accordance with the Spirit.” In fact, he reveals, “the substance of everything necessary to your experience is already within your own being and ready to unfold naturally as it becomes necessary to you, because the completeness and perfection of your life is already established within you as essence or substance, and it appears outwardly as form. Your part is to learn to sit in your quiet moments of meditation, realizing this completeness, and understanding that the only barrier to the expression of perfection is the belief in two powers. Relax in the awareness that within you is the fulfillment of life, and with this recognition the flow begins.”

Our Spiritual Resources is a light-filled guide to the treasure of spiritual resources available to us and a guide to accessing them through praying correctly, understanding the true nature of mind and body, living by meditation, bringing God into daily experience, and much more.

The Early Years

ISBN: 978-1-889051-34-5
Retail Price $18.95

The Early Years is a book of letters written by Joel Goldsmith, one of the twentieth century’s greatest mystics, teachers, and spiritual healers. “This book,” Goldsmith wrote, “reveals the foundation for the great unfoldment which later came to me in my work, and which is now unfolded in my deeper writings.”

These letters were written to Goldsmith’s students and patients from 1932 to 1946 while he was a Christian Science Practitioner with a worldwide healing practice. As more and more individuals corresponded with him and shared these letters with others, they came to be known as the “Dear Friend” letters. “These Letters do not constitute an attempt to teach Christian Science;” Goldsmith says. “The reason for publishing these Letters is that this volume may serve to help students who have not yet found a foundation upon which to build the greater awareness of God. It presents the foundational stones upon which the superstructure of truth and love may be built in consciousness.”

Each letter illuminates the relationship of love, truth, wisdom and candor Joel Goldsmith shared with his many “friends” while teaching essential spiritual principles and explaining how to embody these principles as their own.
