We read in the ancient wisdom, "be ye transformed by the
renewing of your mind" and in these simple words are the
power to change our lives and to live in the security of knowing
that the Power of Life is inherent within us. I am repeating the
last two Week's Messages as I feel the wisdom gifted to us
included in these Messages from Joel Goldsmith, if "registered"
in our mind as truth, can transform our lives in the most
positive and powerful ways. These messages are to be "studied"
and re-read when necessary to keep our mind transformed with
this eternal truth:
I have read and
studied most of the books attributed to the teachings of the
great American healer, Joel Goldsmith. He never wrote most of
the books that have his name attached to them but they are all
filled with words from his lectures and classes. He was a
spiritual practitioner that arose from the Christian Science
organization to become the most prolific of spiritual
practitioners. His teachings generally lean toward the mystical
rather than practical metaphysics. I was told early on in my
spiritual studies that his teachings were for the more
enlightened among us. I think we can assume that level of
enlightenment as we read/study the following from the book
"Awakening Mystical 'Consciousness":
Isaiah
must have had the healing gift because he said, "The Spirit of
of the Lord God is upon me; because the Lord hath anointed e to
preach good tidings unto the meek (teachable); he
hath sent me to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty
to the captives." He knew there were no other gods before Me.
The I of his being was the infinity of being, and there were no
other powers.
A mystic of that attainment will not
say, "Oh, the power of God* works
through me to heal you" or "God will heal you." He know God
never healed anybody or anything. What would you think of a God
who would heal one person and not all persons? The sinners
usually have the best record of being healed, while it would
appear that God has not healed the countless good men and women
on earth.
It is a person's realization that
disease is not a power that is responsible for healing. That is
why Jesus did not say, "God will heal you." He said, "And ye
shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free." He did
not say, "God will forgive you." He said, "Neither do I condemn
thee; go, and sin no more."
Most modern mystics like Whitman and
Tennyson were not healers because they did not have the vision
of God as the Only and the Infinite. They had God and error,
too; they had God and something from which God could protect or
save people. They had God and something of which God could heal
them, but that is not the fully mystical awareness of Jesus
Christ (Christ consciousness).<>
Note: the words in red are my insertion and not from the book/
the * denotes that the spelling of
God is Joel's and not mine.
Joel is getting us acquainted with the mystical
awareness of the Master Mind Jesus which was an expanded
awareness from that of the mystical Isaiah. The most mystical
statement from Isaiah is "besides me there is none other"
informing us that G-d Is All and All Is G-d. The Master Mind
Jesus came into this realization to a greater degree than any
other mystic that I am aware of. I assure you that we can
partake of this All-ness of the Intelligence, Power and Spirit
that we call G-d for lack of a better word. All we must do is
seek the Intelligence in the silence of our mind and seek the
Power of Life in this very same silence. As within, so without.
If we don't go within we will definitely go without. Seek the
Spirit with your mind and your heart. Make G-d your One and Only
for in truth that is what G-d Is.
This week I want to continue with some more wisdom from Joel
Goldsmith's book "Awakening Mystical Consciousness" as I believe
his work to be aspirational for so many of us.
What Goldsmith is teaching in this and the many other books
which contain his lectures and talks transcribed, is not new,
just a different approach to that which has been revealed
before. The Master Mind Jesus approached the teaching of truth
in the same way. What we want to realize from this gift of
enlightened wisdom is that we are all have the same access to
power and wisdom that all those we considered the Greats
possessed ... "what one can do all can do" is a spiritual
principle and a fact.
As you read the following from Goldsmith's book, please note
that I am not changing his words; however, his spelling of God
and his use of the term Father, causes so many to be confused
thinking he is referring to the "big guy in the sky god" of
religion and so I use the spelling G-d and define this G-d has
infinite Spirit, Power and Intelligence, not defined by gender
or human form.
From the book: "From the moment a person realizes even in a
measure, "Thank You, Father, I am one with You, and all that You
have is mine. I am not dependent on "man" whose breath is in his
nostrils. I am not dependent on earning my living by the sweat
of my brow," he [she] begins to be picked up by an invisible
Presence. Supply opens in the most normal and natural ways,
without taking thought, without fighting, without arguing,
without suing.
You may have a mystical experience and you may have a great deal
of sickness and poverty; but if you do, it is only because you
are still embracing the idea of God as a
power over evil. In doing that, you are holding yourself
in the dream. If you relax and let go, stop thinking, and just
enjoy that inner communion with God, agreeing there is no power
apart from God, you will be picked up by this inner Thing called
the Christ, the Spirit of God in man [mankind], or the Holy
Ghost; and you will understand why Paul could say, "I live; yet
not I, but the Christ liveth in me." . . . "I can do all things
through Christ which strengthens me."<>
This "Christ" within each and everyone of us is the Power of
Life within us; it is Intelligence and Spirit. It is the Power
that we use when we "know" that what we accept for ourselves is
ours at the moment of acceptance. It is our health, our
opportunity for success and greater wealth, our guidance to move
through whatever it is we need to move through at any given
moment. It is not obstructed as long as we don't think or
believe it can be obstructed. This is our truth and our power.
Keep the Faith!
