How-To: 1959 Hawaii Healing Classes
The Foundation
of Mysticism
ISBN: 978-1-889051-22-2
Retail Price $24.95
Joel Goldsmith’s class work in Hawaii in 1959 was devoted exclusively to reintroducing the healing principles of the Infinite Way, which are essential to establishing a foundation for mystical living. The Foundation of Mysticism provides edited transcripts of these important tape-recorded classes, which Goldsmith later referred to as the most significant material available to fully understand the principles and the practice of The Infinite Way.
Speaking about spiritual healing, Goldsmith says, “If you have an infinite, eternal, immortal God, and in the entire kingdom of God there is no evil, then, as scripture says, ‘God is too pure to behold iniquity.’ Certainly God wouldn’t tolerate it today and then heal you of it tomorrow. That would make of God a human being, and not even a very nice one. Oh, no! The reason healing is possible is this: God is, and God constitutes this universe, and God constitutes your being, which is perfect.”
The Foundation of Mysticism is the fourth in a four-volume series of lectures that includes Rising in Consciousness, Consciousness in Transition, Consciousness Transformed and The Foundation of Mysticism. All four books present some of Joel Goldsmith’s lecture series. Rising in Consciousness and Consciousness in Transition illuminate his early class work, Consciousness Transformed records the last years of his work, and The Foundation of Mysticism is devoted exclusively to reintroducing the healing principles of the Infinite Way. Together the series presents a holistic overview of a living message.
New students will find this classic book to be a valuable and complete introduction to the principles of The Infinite Way, while experienced students will benefit greatly from the fresh clarity with which Joel teaches the principles anew.

In 1963, Goldsmith said, “This year the word came to me to take our students from metaphysics to mysticism … and this mission was immediately undertaken.” To fulfill the mission, Goldsmith gave 62 “Hotel Talks” in Hawaii during 1963 and 1964, which are collected in Consciousness Transformed. This is a 600-page book that contains the deepest of Joel’s teachings. The talks were not tape recorded and are presented in this volume from transcripts. They are considered by many to express mysticism at its highest level. At one point Goldsmith himself said, “During the last two to three weeks… it became clear that we are entering the consciousness that does not need words or thoughts. We can sit down to meditate and realize: The Kingdom of God is ‘closer than breathing, nearer than hands and feet.’”
Consciousness Transformed is the third book in a four-volume series of lectures that includes Rising in Consciousness, Consciousness in Transition, Consciousness Transformed and The Foundation of Mysticism. All four books present some of Joel Goldsmith’s lecture series. Rising in Consciousness and Consciousness in Transition illuminate his early class work, Consciousness Transformed records the last years of his work, and The Foundation of Mysticism is devoted exclusively to reintroducing the healing principles of the Infinite Way. Together the series presents a holistic overview of a living message.

ISBN: 978-1-889051-56-7
Retail Price $18.95
Rising in Consciousness is the first in a four-volume series of lectures that includes Rising in Consciousness, Consciousness in Transition, Consciousness Transformed and The Foundation of Mysticism. All four books present some of Joel Goldsmith’s lecture series. Rising in Consciousness and Consciousness in Transition illuminate his early class work, Consciousness Transformed records the last years of his work, and The Foundation of Mysticism is devoted exclusively to reintroducing the healing principles of the Infinite Way. Together the series presents a holistic overview of a living message.
In Rising in Consciousness, readers can study the formative work of one of the great mystics of the 20th century in the 18 talks he gave in San Francisco at the beginning of his teaching ministry. The book presents truth as Goldsmith did – in clear, practical, and real terms. The reader can virtually sit in on an actual class experience, where the motivation and yearnings of the seekers who were present elicited the message that Joel brought through in each lesson. “Don’t look up to me, the lecturer on the platform,” he would say. “Use what I tell you, take a hold of these principles that are emerging in this living lesson. Listen, hear me, absorb and practice these principles. Then you will discover that source within you. Always within you.”
In these talks, Goldsmith works from the framework of principles that he called the nature of God, the nature of prayer, and the nature of error. “If you understand these principles,” he maintained, “you have it all.” As the foreword to the book says, “In these times of external uncertainty, there is no greater gift of love and peace for humanity than the message found within these pages.”

ISBN: 978-1-889051-24-6
Retail Price $18.95
Soon after the publication of The Infinite Way in 1947, Joel Goldsmith gave a series of lectures in San Francisco. These classes set the foundation for what was to become Goldsmith’s worldwide teaching ministry. They laid out a framework of spiritual principles with such integrity and purity that students of sufficient intent and motivation who worked with them could experience illumination. These lectures were recorded on a wire recorder and transcribed for students. Later they were put into a book called Metaphysical Notes, which has now become Consciousness in Transition.
The book effectively allows the reader to sit in on Joel’s early class work, which covered the practice of meditation, healing and treatment, prayer, the nature of God, and the nature of error. It introduces the reader to the path of spiritual growth necessary for ultimately attaining conscious union with God. In Consciousness in Transition, Goldsmith gives the reader specific instruction on living, moving, and having one’s being in spiritual consciousness and teaches universal principles that have been passed down through the ages by saints and sages of all spiritual traditions.
Consciousness in Transition is the second in a four-volume series of lectures that includes Rising in Consciousness, Consciousness in Transition, Consciousness Transformed and The Foundation of Mysticism. All four books present some of Joel Goldsmith’s lecture series. Rising in Consciousness and Consciousness in Transition illuminate his early class work, Consciousness Transformed records the last years of his work, and The Foundation of Mysticism is devoted exclusively to reintroducing the healing principles of the Infinite Way.

ISBN: 978-1-939542-63-2
Retail Price $16.95
The World Is New is a superb exposition of Joel Goldsmith’s path to practical spirituality called The Infinite Way. The major theme of The World Is New is that recognizing our spiritual identity as the Christ, or God appearing as individual being, makes for newness of life. “The world is new to every soul when Christ has entered into it,” says Goldsmith, quoting from the inscription in the Stanford Memorial Church that inspired the title for the book. To embody the principles set forth so clearly in this book is to experience that newness of life that makes the whole world new and unexpectedly wondrous.
“How many times we have read in the New Testament about the Father within! How many times we have read what Paul said: ‘I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me,’” says Goldsmith. “But how seldom have we sat down with ourselves and felt that we must get acquainted with this Father within and find out what Paul meant. Few ever really investigate and find out if what Jesus said is true.”
The World Is New helps the reader with that investigation, setting forth the breadth and depth of Goldsmith’s teaching with unequalled clarity, and teaching the spiritual practices that will bring the seeker to the spiritual freedom that is attained when we touch the Christ of our own being and actually feel the divine Presence within us.
“There are those who have ears but do not hear and those who have eyes but do not see,” Goldsmith says. “We have eyes, certainly. But do we see an infinite supply of good? We cannot see it with our human eyes. We see it only with that inner eye, when our attention is centered on receptivity to God. In that inner vision, we can behold everything present now. It is all here. We do not need to have a single new thing added to our experience to make it complete. We have only to open our spiritual eyes to see the fullness and completeness of God’s universe, which is already here and which is already now – and then the world is new.”

Conscious Union with God
ISBN: 978-1-889051-49-9
Retail Price $16.95
The theme of Conscious Union with God is: “My conscious union with God constitutes my oneness with all spiritual being and idea.” When we reach the place in meditation where we become consciously one with our inner Being, we are automatically one with the entire spiritual universe – the universe of the past, the present, and the future. In developing this theme, Goldsmith reveals that when we have a realization of this principle, whatever is essential to individual unfoldment and fulfillment will appear in the form necessary to meet the need of the moment. Living from this state of consciousness eliminates the ceaseless struggling and striving that characterizes today’s society, and brings harmony, joy, peace and fulfillment to our lives.
Conscious Union with God presents key points of the Infinite Way teaching about subjects such as states and stages of consciousness, meditation, seeking answers within, opening consciousness to Truth, mysticism, and the function of the mind. With clarity and deep insight, Goldsmith brings the reader to the awareness that the purpose of conscious union with God “is the unfoldment and revelation of spiritual Being, the harmonious and eternal manifestation of God.”

The Master Speaks
ISBN: 978-1-889051-42-0
Retail Price $18.95
The Master Speaks is a non-denominational book that will appeal to anyone interested in spiritual healing. It is based on the teachings of Jesus about the principles of spiritual living and spiritual healing, and can serve as a basic text for those interested in Christian mysticism.
Throughout the book, Goldsmith beautifully weaves together Bible references and the spiritual principles that form the Infinite Way message. He takes the reader through a detailed course of instruction around three major steps: attaining the conscious awareness of the presence of God; learning meditation, reflection, and introspection; and learning the nature of error. He says, “Unless our thought responds instantly to the fact that God is the only life, that God is all there is to individual being; and unless in our heart and Soul we truly believe that, we cannot be spiritual healers.”
The secret to spiritual healing, Goldsmith says, is knowing the true identity of every individual, and this comes through spiritual discernment. A spiritual healer does not deal with the mortal picture and try to change it. “We go right to the center of being, and there recognize Christ, the Spirit, the presence and power of God,” he says. “As we do that, we do not heal human beings; we do not enrich them, although that is the way in which it appears to the world. What we do is to bring to light their spiritual identity–that which has always been there, but which has seemed to have disappeared.” But Goldsmith is careful to emphasize: “It is not understanding truth that heals: it is the divine state of spiritual consciousness that heals; and the one who has that state of consciousness is a practitioner.”
In The Master Speaks, Goldsmith also lays out the differences between traditional metaphysics and The Infinite Way message, and he gives extensive practical advice on many aspects of the healing ministry for those who find themselves led to it. He offers the idea – astonishing to some – that “Everyone on earth has, potentially, the same consciousness as Jesus Christ. The question is: are we willing to put in the hours of devotion; are we willing to make the effort required to train ourselves to be conscious of the presence of God, instead of seeking some form in which God is to appear? There is the whole secret. It is up to us! If we can rely wholly on the Principle, on Consciousness, we can attain the consciousness of the Christ.” For those who are drawn to that quest, The Master Speaks is a substantial first step on the journey.
