Awesome encouragement for contemplative meditation
This book, Living the Infinite Way, came along after I had started journaling to connect with the God within me. I've read a lot of books on meditation over the years, but none really sank in but Brother Lawrence's Practicing His Presence. Joel S. Goldsmith has now taught me that what I do is meditation. I call it meditating "on the hoof." But now I have even more desire to contemplate God in silence and deep thoughtfulness. I truly desire to have conscious union with God, to experience the presence. I now have more direction for how to get there, for how to "be" there. I look forward to just "being."
Goldstein’s Infinite Way Gives Us Just Half of Jesus
Goldstein and I share key conclusions: the Spiritual experience and its ramifications; I use the term “God Consciousness” In Exploring the Gap. What I find that Goldstein leaves out is the rest of Jesus, Jesus as Moral Teacher. He also limits “the nature of” question to that of God. What I find missing is the nature of: truth, humanity and language, the Word, love, time, space.
I liked the perspective that you do not/should not look to the outward world for enlightenment (particularly spiritual), through meditation and prayer one can find inner peace and fulfillment. The kingdom of God is within you. I will return to read this book again, because it was just that interesting.
Read and re-read this book. Practicing. J.G. teachings is a work in progress. I've enjoyed the process so far. The God in me says hello to the God in you.
My second book by Mr.Joel Goldsmith. Really loved the infinite way and wanted to learn more. We definitely need the company of these great men and their books for keeping us on track in our spiritual journey...
AMAZING ....the very first book I read several years ago and what a pivital book it awoke the sleeping spirit that needed to be recindled by this book of grace.
