I am a seeker of spiritual understanding. I have recently (over the past
3 yrs.) been reading and absorbing the teachings of the Infinite Way,
taught by Joel Goldsmith. This understanding continues to expand my
awareness and affords me great inner tranquility, such as I have not
known in this lifetime. I would love to discuss his teachings with
anyone who is familiar with his books. Also, I am hoping to meet
spiritually minded people on this board, with whom I can engage in
meaningful conversations about spiritual concepts. Thanks for having me.
I will enjoy reading through the various posts and topics as I
familiarize myself with the boards and the people here.

Hey gracieruth....I read a lot of Joel Goldsmith many years ago, probably over 20 of his books. The most significant one I read was probably A Parenthesis in Eternity. If you have not read that I'd recommend it next. Another favorite was The Altitude of Prayer. ...........He was shy on being able to specifically instruct as to how to do what he accomplished (he was able to achieve a higher state of consciousness, somehow, and the attunement achieved the results, not "Joel Goldsmith". I still have his book on meditation, I'll go back and look at it. ............Another favorite was Living Between Two Worlds.

You cannot come to consciousness unconsciously. Directed attention supposes someone there to direct it--not just chariot without driver. All work begins with the control of attention. Madame Ouspensky

A man is unable to explain what he himself really is. The only thing you have to sacrifice is your suffering. No work can be done in sleep. You can't see above your own level of being. Gurdjieff

Gurdjieff said to Ouspensky: "You always think - I only now and then".

Hello sdp. I am reading A Parenthesis in Eternity at the present time. It's about my 3rd time reading it, and still I can pick it up and open it anywhere and be blown away by his take on things. He was a most intelligent and spiritually ascended writer. He is my daily inspiration. He has taken the words of Jesus to a whole new level of understanding. I lived pretty much my entire life immersed in trying to understand the Bible, and until I read Joel, a lot of it was mysterious and seemed over my head somehow. Anyway, it's nice to meet someone else who has read him. Thanks for your reply.
