“In that realization, death itself has no longer any fears or terrors. No one can possibly fear death once he realizes that neither death nor life can separate him from the Life that he is, the Life that is his being.” ~Joel S Goldsmith

Isaiah 41:10 KJV
10 Fear thou not; for I am with thee:

Psalm 23:4 KJV
4 Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me.

Acts 17:28 (to ;) KJV
28 For in him we live, and move, and have our being;

John 15 4-5 KJV
4 Abide in me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, except it abide in the vine; no more can ye, except ye abide in me.
5 I am the vine, ye are the branches: He that abideth in me, and I in him, the same bringeth forth much fruit: for without me ye can do nothing.

Where the Spirit of the Lord—God’s Presence—is Realized there is no fear, death, germ or any other appearance.

There is only God. Without God I can do nothing… God is the Spiritual Essence of my Life… He is the Vine... I am His Living Expression… God is Omnipresent… I live because God Is. He has put His Spirit, His Love, and His Life in me… I am His Branch Expressed As… ~Al Denninger

“But suppose we came to the realization that our life is indestructible, that neither life nor death can separate us from God? Now what difference would germs make? And in that realization, the battle against error—that particular form of error—would cease, and none of these things would move us:

‘None of these things move me.’ My life is God; my life is in God; my life is with God; and neither life nor death can separate me from God.” ~Joel S Goldsmith

Romans 8:38-39 KJV
38 For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come,
39 Nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.

Psalm 23:1 KJV
1 The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want.

Acts 17:28 (to ;) KJV
28 For in him we live, and move, and have our being;

I can of mine own self do nothing... The Father within, he doeth the Works... God is Life… I Am His Expression… My Life is an individual Expression Of God… Nothing can separate me from His Life, His Love and His Good… In His Presence there is nothing to ever correct or battle against… There is no Path I can take that does not Originate with God and does not lead to God… ~Al Denninger

“Similarly, who cares how many germs there are in the world, unless we can be made to believe that germs can destroy our life? Ah! That sets up an antagonism in us, and we are going out now to wipe all the germs off the lace of the earth. Why? What have we against germs? Nothing! Except that they threaten destruction to our own lives, or our own health!” ~Joel S Goldsmith

Psalm 23:4 KJV
4 Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me.

Isaiah 41:10 KJV
10 Fear thou not; for I am with thee: be not dismayed; for I am thy God: I will strengthen thee; yea, I will help thee; yea, I will uphold thee with the right hand of my righteousness.

1 John 2:15 KJV
15 Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world. If any man love the world, the love of the Father is not in him.

2 Timothy 1:7 KJV
7 For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind.

I guess it all boils down to what we consider our life: our parenthesis in this world, or the Gift of the Spirit within us that is in the Image and Likeness of God. God is our Source, our Creator, our Shepherd, which includes everything necessary for our Being. Love not the world, and also just as important, fear not the world or anything in it. Lay not up treasures on earth. There is only Life as God’s individual Expression. Live ye in It, and Live ye Aware of this Truth. Live ye for, and As the Glory of God. ~Al Denninger

“Many of us would be able to attain our release from the world of cause and effect, that is, from the world of appearances, if only we could bring to bear upon the situation that great assurance of the Master, ‘It is I; be not afraid.’ To know this truth would immediately divest us of any judgment as to the nature of the appearance.

‘It is I; be not afraid’—I, God, is the only life; I, God, is the life of individual being, and that Life cannot be lost and It cannot be destroyed. Let the storm do what it will. I cannot fear.” ~Joel S Goldsmith

Matthew 14:22-27 KJV
22 And straightway Jesus constrained his disciples to get into a ship, and to go before him unto the other side, while he sent the multitudes away.
23 And when he had sent the multitudes away, he went up into a mountain apart to pray: and when the evening was come, he was there alone.
24 But the ship was now in the midst of the sea, tossed with waves: for the wind was contrary.
25 And in the fourth watch of the night Jesus went unto them, walking on the sea.
26 And when the disciples saw him walking on the sea, they were troubled, saying, It is a spirit; and they cried out for fear.
27 But straightway Jesus spake unto them, saying, Be of good cheer; it is I; be not afraid.

John 7:24 KJV
24 Judge not according to the appearance, but judge righteous judgment.

1 Samuel 16:7 KJV
7 But the Lord said unto Samuel, Look not on his countenance, or on the height of his stature; because I have refused him: for the Lord seeth not as man seeth; for man looketh on the outward appearance, but the Lord looketh on the heart.

John 8:31,32 KJV
31 Then said Jesus to those Jews which believed on him, If ye continue in my word, then are ye my disciples indeed;
32 And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.

The I of Christ is with you now awaiting Recognition. Where the Spirit is Realized, there is Freedom from false appearances. An appearance can seam real to any or all of our 5 physical senses, and it can show up as whatever we can think up, but it is still not the Truth. Don’t react to the false appearance or unfounded fears. Believe and embrace the Truth when you See It. ~Al Denninger

“In the storm, then, the disciples were not really afraid of the storm. What difference would a storm have made to them, if they had not believed that their lives were in danger? Who cares whether the wind is forty or a hundred miles an hour, if there is no danger to one's life or limb? It is only while there is fear of the loss of life that anybody cares whether the storm rages or ceases.” ~Joel S Goldsmith

2 Timothy 1:7 KJV
7 For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind.

1 John 4:18 KJV
18 There is no fear in love, but perfect love casts out fear.

Psalm 23:1-4 KJV
1 The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want.
2 He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: he leadeth me beside the still waters.
3 He restoreth my soul: he leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name's sake.
4 Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me.

1 John 4:16-17 KJV
16 And we have known and believed the love that God hath to us. God is love; and he that dwelleth in love dwelleth in God, and God in him.
17 Herein is our love made perfect, that we may have boldness in the day of judgment: because as he is, so are we in this world.

Can we entertain fear if we Know the Lord is our Shepherd? No, it’s impossible.
Can we be separated from God in the midst of a storm? No, it’s impossible, but we can be distracted into thinking we might be. God gave us the Spirit of Love and He leads in the paths of Righteousness. And if we temporarily forget, we need to refocus and Dwell in Secrecy and Silence, like Jesus did on his pillow in the back of the ship, and God will Restore our Soul.

“What but self-preservation lies behind every war? Men call it patriotism because they claim that wars are fought to preserve the nation, but a nation is only a group of individuals, so in the final analysis it is the preservation and perpetuation of themselves, of their human lives and human supply, that induces them to enter into a war. The horror of it is, however, that people are always willing to sacrifice and send their children off to get killed, as long as they can stay home and be saved. Children are not as important to most people as they themselves are. The children must go off and get killed or wounded or demented so that others can stay home and have abundance.” ~Joel S Goldsmith

Numbers 31:3-6 KJV
3 And Moses spake unto the people, saying, Arm some of yourselves unto the war, and let them go against the Midianites, and avenge the Lord of Midian.
4 Of every tribe a thousand, throughout all the tribes of Israel, shall ye send to the war.
5 So there were delivered out of the thousands of Israel, a thousand of every tribe, twelve thousand armed for war.
6 And Moses sent them to the war, a thousand of every tribe, them and Phinehas the son of Eleazar the priest, to the war, with the holy instruments, and the trumpets to blow in his hand.

John 16:33 KJV
33 These things I have spoken unto you, that in me ye might have peace. In the world ye shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world.

Even Moses himself got caught up in these types of selfish distractions and power plays. The nature of man whose breath is in his nostrils, is still today, selfishly and foolishly laying up treasures in this world. Not much has changed in the made up reasons for engagement and ridiculous justifications department. We must find the Truth every day, no matter how insane the distractions. We must be anchored in our Faith and bring Peace wherever we go. My Kingdom is not of this world. ~Al Denninger

“The disciples, seized as they were by fear, were responding as most people do to that first law of nature, the law of self-preservation. In the human picture, that law (if we can dignify it by the name of law) is responsible for most of the evil that is in the world. A person would not steal if it were not that he is trying to preserve his personal and human sense of life. He is hoping to keep himself from starving or from being a failure, and he is staving off lack and limitation. In short, he is preserving his own human sense of identity.” ~Joel S Goldsmith

Matthew 16:25 KJV
25 For whosoever will save his life shall lose it: and whosoever will lose his life for my sake shall find it.

Matthew 6:19-21 KJV
19 Lay not up for yourselves treasures upon earth, where moth and rust doth corrupt, and where thieves break through and steal:
20 But lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust doth corrupt, and where thieves do not break through nor steal:
21 For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also.

Romans 8:6-7 KJV
6 For to be carnally minded is death; but to be spiritually minded is life and peace.
7 Because the carnal mind is enmity against God: for it is not subject to the law of God, neither indeed can be.

Fear, lack or limitation—any sense of separation from God—sets us up for an adventure of further appearances. Any number of distractions can and will show up when we least expect it. A self consciously identifying in this-world is far from the Mind of Christ. Where our mind dwells, so dwells our heart and our experience. ~Al Denninger

“Self-Preservation Is the Dominant Note in Human Experience

When the disciples were afraid because of the storm at sea, they awakened the Master, but he did not attempt to stop the storm by praying to God because he knew that he was being faced with an illusory appearance. He merely ‘rebuked the wind, and said unto the sea, Peace, be still. And the wind ceased, and there was a great calm.’ What the disciples were seeing was something more than a storm: they were probably not aware of it, but they were seeing a selfhood apart from God, and above all they may have been afraid that they were going to lose their lives.” ~Joel S Goldsmith

Mark 4:35-39 KJV
35 And the same day, when the even was come, he saith unto them, Let us pass over unto the other side.
36 And when they had sent away the multitude, they took him even as he was in the ship. And there were also with him other little ships.
37 And there arose a great storm of wind, and the waves beat into the ship, so that it was now full.
38 And he was in the hinder part of the ship, asleep on a pillow: and they awake him, and say unto him, Master, carest thou not that we perish?
39 And he arose, and rebuked the wind, and said unto the sea, Peace, be still. And the wind ceased, and there was a great calm.

When I read in Mark 4:35 where Jesus said, “let us pass over unto the other side” it jumped off the page and made me ponder… And I’m still working on it… What other side? It seems like Jesus would not have been asleep in the back of the little ship if there was a storm in His Consciousness. The storm, the appearance, the selfhood apart from God, was in the Disciples experience. They were afraid for their lives, but Jesus was unaware of their experience and was calmly asleep. The disciples must have been excitedly graphic in their explanation of the situation to Jesus. When Jesus Arose, was there a storm on display for Him? It’s worth asking the question, right?… He saw the Truth and called “the storm” what it was—an appearance to the Disciples—and He ordered it to be gone and the appearance disappeared completely with no further mention. It was no more. It never was to Him. ~Al Denninger

“As we withdraw judgment—which means to withdraw our hate, fear, or love of the appearance—it is then that this Invisible, the Spirit of God, which is in us, can immediately go to work to change the appearance.” ~Joel S Goldsmith

Romans 8:1-2 KJV
1 There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.
2 For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus hath made me free from the law of sin and death.

Galatians 5:16-18 KJV
16 This I say then, Walk in the Spirit, and ye shall not fulfil the lust of the flesh.
17 For the flesh lusteth against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh: and these are contrary the one to the other: so that ye cannot do the things that ye would.
18 But if ye be led of the Spirit, ye are not under the law.

When we walk after the Spirit we begin to be Led by the Spirit. At this point this-world consciousnesses dissolves and we are free from it. Trust God, pick up thy bed and Walk. Jesus said, “Follow Me.” ~Al Denninger

“The Master's statement, ‘My kingdom is not of this world’, helps us to discipline ourselves. Instantly we shut out everything that we see or hear, realizing that that is this world, but it is not My kingdom, the Christ-kingdom, the spiritual kingdom; and therefore, we neither love, hate, nor fear it. Think of the discipline involved in refraining from all attempts to change the appearance when we are in the midst of what seems to be a problem for ourselves or another. Think, think of any discordant appearance that you have ever seen, heard, tasted, touched, or smelled; see the discipline that is necessary to refrain from attempting to alter, change, or do something about it, and then be convinced and know, ‘My kingdom—the place where I live, move, and have my being—is not of this world. Therefore, I have nothing to do about this world except to know that it is not of My kingdom.’” ~Joel S Goldsmith

John 18:36 (to :) KJV
36 Jesus answered, My kingdom is not of this world:

Matthew 5:38-39 (to :)
38 Ye have heard that it hath been said, An eye for an eye, and a tooth for a tooth:
39 But I say unto you, That ye resist not evil:

Matthew 6:33 (to ;) KJV
33 But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness

Do we believe Jesus at his word? When we finally come to the Realization that Christ’s Kingdom is not of this world, shouldn’t it also be consistent that this-world is not a Spiritual place? So then this-world deserves no attention or resistance at all. Its nothing to respect, run to or run from. Period. The Realm of Christ is all that I have respect for.

“In proportion as this consciousness of no judgment is attained, the appearances in this world automatically change as they touch your consciousness. This is because your consciousness is not reacting to good or to evil, and is, therefore, able to pierce the veil of illusion, even the veil of good illusion, and see that there is nothing to fear and nothing to gloat about because what you are seeing is not the spiritual creation, but a finite concept of it, sometimes good and sometimes bad, sometimes rich and sometimes poor, sometimes healthy and sometimes sick, sometimes alive and sometimes dead. But none of that is true of God's kingdom.” ~Joel S Goldsmith

"Discipline in the Contemplative Life

Regardless of how much knowledge of truth a person may have, no matter how many years he may have studied truth, he may still have no healing power. It is not how many statements of truth a person knows intellectually, or can declare. Healing power has to do with the degree of the actual awareness and conviction attained of the nonpower of appearances. It is for this reason that the spiritual path is a path of discipline, and every disciple or student must begin at some moment in his career to withhold judgment.” ~Joel S Goldsmith

1 Corinthians 2:14 KJV
14 But the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned.

Romans 12:1-2 KJV
1 I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service.
2 And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.

Romans 2:1 KJV
1 Therefore thou art inexcusable, O man, whosoever thou art that judgest: for wherein thou judgest another, thou condemnest thyself; for thou that judgest doest the same things.

1 Corinthians 15:58 KJV
58 Therefore, my beloved brethren, be ye stedfast, unmoveable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, forasmuch as ye know that your labour is not in vain in the Lord.

When we make our journey to be an intellectual one, we still have not engaged God or Spiritual discernment. For most of us, it will take some steadfast discipline and a lot of Practice to Trust God enough to leave the appearances of this-world behind. The first person not to judge is yourself, for what you see is appearance, not Spirit. That kind of judgment has nothing to do with God, it has to do with personal thought. Be still and Practice the Presence of God and focus on the Truth not the thoughts given or written by someone else. We will all be taught of God and it is His Will that we open the Door, each for his own self. ~Al Denninger

“As a matter of fact, insofar as the healing was concerned, the practitioner was right, but the husband was also right. The practitioner had not brought about the healing: he had merely borne witness to God in action, so therefore there was no money due because of the healing. Where the husband was wrong was that he should have known that if the practitioner had not been available and had not been able to bear witness to God's grace, there would have been no healing. If the practitioner had been dependent for his livelihood on hanging telephone wires, tending furnaces, or whatever else his job might have been, he perhaps might not have been able to live in the Spirit and to bear witness to God when called upon. Giving him money, therefore, was not for the healing. It was merely to enable him to be free of other obligations so that he could keep his consciousness clear and free of entanglements and could always be in the Spirit to bear witness to Its activity. When you witness healing works, always remember what it is you are witnessing. You are not witnessing the power of an individual, for an individual has no such power: you are merely witnessing an individual who is keeping himself free of the appearance-world and maintaining himself in a consciousness of no judgment, so that the grace of God can come through, because the grace of God cannot come through the human mind. And what is the human mind but anybody's mind that is still indoctrinated with the belief in two power?” ~Joel S Goldsmith

“Even though to our sense a healing appears, it is not really a healing: it is the dissolving of the material picture, and the bringing to visibility of the spiritual one.

“How can we bear witness to this Power except by being still? If we do otherwise, we can no longer say that we are doing nothing or that we are nothing. We have become something the moment we do something. Therefore, when we are confronted with appearances—whether the appearance is called good or evil—we are being confronted with a human appearance, and if we would bear witness to the presence of God, we must do nothing, we must think nothing, and we must have no judgment. I am sure that you will not confuse this with an ignoring of our life's work, nor as a lazy do-nothing attitude, but you will understand this to be a disciplined withholding of judging as to good or evil and an attitude of expectancy—as of listening within.

“Living as a Witness to the Activity of God This Power or Principle is illustrated fully in the experience of Jesus Christ as narrated in the four Gospels. Jesus clearly revealed that his function was to heal the sick, raise the dead, feed the hungry, and forgive the sinner. Always he said, ‘I can of mine own self do nothing.... the Father that dwelleth in me, he doeth the works.’ He always bore witness to the presence of God. In every one of the miracles performed by the Master, there was the denial of self and the glorification of the Father. Always it was, ‘I of my own self am doing nothing, for I of my own self am nothing. If I speak of myself, I bear witness to a lie. Therefore, it is not I who am good, it is not I who do the healing: I am but bearing witness to the presence and power of God.’” ~Joel S Goldsmith

John 5:30,31 KJV
30 I can of mine own self do nothing: as I hear, I judge: and my judgment is just; because I seek not mine own will, but the will of the Father which hath sent me.
31 If I bear witness of myself, my witness is not true.

John 14:10 but KJV
10 ...but the Father that dwelleth in me, he doeth the works.

Mark 10:18 KJV
18 And Jesus said unto him, Why callest thou me good? there is none good but one, that is, God.

1 Corinthians 10:31 KJV
31 Whether therefore ye eat, or drink, or whatsoever ye do, do all to the glory of God.

Each individual Expression of God is designed to prove the Glory of God. It is Gods’ Work and He is the Doer. Take a step back… Watch and witness… And Rest in His Presence and Glory. ~Al Denninger

“These are extreme illustrations of how unwise it is to judge of good or evil. Spiritually, however, judging as to good or evil goes far beyond being unwise. In a spiritual sense, it is absolutely wrong because there is a Power that is within each and every one of us, and this Power has as Its function the creating, maintaining, and sustaining of harmony in our existence, and when for any reason harmony is apparently taken from our lives, Its function is to restore it.” ~Joel S Goldsmith

John 7:24 KJV
24 Judge not according to the appearance, but judge righteous judgment.

Ephesians 3:16-17 KJV
16 That he would grant you, according to the riches of his glory, to be strengthened with might by his Spirit in the inner man;
17 That Christ may dwell in your hearts by faith; that ye, being rooted and grounded in love,

Psalms 23:3 KJV
3 He restoreth my soul: he leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name's sake.

Psalm 51:10-12 KJV
10 Create in me a clean heart, O God; and renew a right spirit within me.
11 Cast me not away from thy presence; and take not thy holy spirit from me.
12 Restore unto me the joy of thy salvation; and uphold me with thy free spirit.

God is the Power that completely maintains, sustains and protects us. He perfectly put that Loving Gift right within us. But if for any reason we are distracted and step off the Path, He will Lead us right back on the Path. But, all He asks is that we Dwell with Him. Abide with Me. ~Al Denninger

"In the human picture practically everyone, almost without exception, rejoices at a birth and sorrows at death. Nevertheless, more trouble has been caused in the world by birth than ever has been caused by death. So, if we were to judge from human appearances, we would be struck by the tragedies that take place as a result of birth, despite all the rejoicing, and by the uselessness and futility of much of the sorrowing at death." Joel S Goldsmith

John 7:24 KJV
24 Judge not according to the appearance, but judge righteous judgment.

1 John 2:15-17 KJV
15 Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world. If any man love the world, the love of the Father is not in him.
16 For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world.
17 And the world passeth away, and the lust thereof: but he that doeth the will of God abideth for ever.

Relying on this-world, we fall into a universal trap where the distraction is greater than the Truth. We can get so caught up in it that we cannot find our Way back onto the Path. Stop. Step back, rely on God for the Truth and watch the knowledge of good and evil dissolve. You are always welcome Home. ~Al Denninger

"A very good illustration of this is that nearly everybody would agree that having a million dollars-earning or inheriting it is good, and yet the acquisition of a million dollars has proved to be the ruination of many persons. It has changed their nature and made them grasping because, when some persons who have had little or nothing and who have always been free and joyous in sharing that little acquire more than they have been accustomed to having, many of them begin to hoard and grasp it and lay it up for a rainy day, fearing to spend it, so that what would appear to have been good has turned out to be evil for them." ~Joel S Goldsmith

1 Timothy 6:9-11 KJV
9 But they that will be rich fall into temptation and a snare, and into many foolish and hurtful lusts, which drown men in destruction and perdition.
10 For the love of money is the root of all evil: which while some coveted after, they have erred from the faith, and pierced themselves through with many sorrows.
11 But thou, O man of God, flee these things; and follow after righteousness, godliness, faith, love, patience, meekness.

Proverbs 11:28 KJV
28 He that trusteth in his riches shall fall; but the righteous shall flourish as a branch.

Luke 16:13 KJV
13 No servant can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and mammon.

Focusing on, or reacting to this-world and any of its effects, either good or bad, will distract us from Serving God. Lean not unto thine own understanding. Rely on God. ~Al Denninger

"Under the old metaphysics, if we were confronted with an appearance and judged it to be evil, we immediately had to resist it: overcome, destroy, or remove it. If, on the other hand, we were confronted with an appearance of human good, we accepted it and rejoiced over it. The danger in this procedure, however, is that the very thing that appears to be good may, in and of itself, be evil, or may change to evil, or its effect upon one may be of an evil nature." ~Joel S Goldsmith

Matthew 5:39 KJV
39 But I say unto you, That ye resist not evil:

Matthew 23:27-28 KJV
27 Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye are like unto whited sepulchres, which indeed appear beautiful outward, but are within full of dead men's bones, and of all uncleanness.
28 Even so ye also outwardly appear righteous unto men, but within ye are full of hypocrisy and iniquity.

John 7:24 KJV
24 Judge not according to the appearance, but judge righteous judgment.

Psalms 91:1-2 KJV
1 He that dwelleth in the secret place of the most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty.
2 I will say of the Lord, He is my refuge and my fortress: my God; in him will I trust.

Only with Righteous Judgment can we discern the Truth of Infinite Being. The appearances-the people, places and things in this-world-may be good one day and bad the next. Dwell in the Word, and Let the Word Dwell in you, for he that Dwells with God, Lives the Truth and will not be fooled. Resisting appearances is pointless, because we are taking an action on an untruth. ~Al Denninger

"'Why callest thou me good? there is none good but one, that is, God…. Neither do I condemn thee'. In other words, there is no sitting in judgment on what appears to be evil, but neither is there any acceptance of the appearance of good: there is a recognition that the only real is the Invisible-the spiritual-and that is something that cannot be seen with the eyes, nor heard with the ears." ~Joel S Goldsmith

Matthew 19:17 (to :) KJV
17 And he said unto him, Why callest thou me good? there is none good but one, that is, God:

John 8:11 And KJV
11 …And Jesus said unto her, Neither do I condemn thee: go, and sin no more.

Galatians 6:1 KJV
1 Brethren, if a man be overtaken in a fault, ye which are spiritual, restore such an one in the spirit of meekness; considering thyself, lest thou also be tempted.

2 Corinthians 4:18 KJV
18 While we look not at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen: for the things which are seen are temporal; but the things which are not seen are eternal.

John 4:24 KJV
24 God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth.

Can there be any judgment or condemnation against false claims? Where Spirit is Realized there is Truth and nothing but the Truth is Present. God is Good - all the time. ~Al Denninger

“Judge Not After Appearances Commonly accepted metaphysics today teaches the rejection and denial of the appearance of evil and the realization of its unreal nature. But in the truly spiritual life, we have to go beyond merely rejecting evil as error because we also have to deny reality to that which appears as good; we have to unsee the humanly good appearances to the same degree that we unsee the humanly evil ones. Spiritually discerned, there is neither good nor evil, and it is on this premise that the entire spiritual universe is built. The discipline on this path lies in rejecting every appearance, whether it is good or evil, in the realization that whatever it is that is of God is invisible to the human senses.” ~Joel S Goldsmith

Proverbs 3:5 KJV
5 Trust in the Lord with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding.

Romans 12:2 KJV
2 And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.

I Corinthians 2:11-14 KJV
11 For what man knoweth the things of a man, save the spirit of man which is in him? even so the things of God knoweth no man, but the Spirit of God.
12 Now we have received, not the spirit of the world, but the spirit which is of God; that we might know the things that are freely given to us of God.
13 Which things also we speak, not in the words which man's wisdom teacheth, but which the Holy Ghost teacheth; comparing spiritual things with spiritual.
14 But the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned.

Spiritual discernment is beyond words and thoughts. There is no argument in Truth. There is not even a reaction. Truth just Is. And the same Truth always will be. Don’t let fake influence you. ~Al Denninger

“Life, as it is lived by most persons, is more or less undisciplined because little or no attempt is made by the individual to control the nature of his thinking. He is prone to accept everything that he sees or hears, usually rejoicing over what he thinks is good and moaning over what he believes to be evil, so that seldom does anyone ask himself, ‘Is this as good as it appears to be?’ or, ‘Is this as evil as it appears to be?’ Rather are appearances accepted in accordance with human judgment. In the spiritual way of life, however, that cannot be done because the entire spiritual life is based on the rejection of appearances.” ~Joel S Goldsmith

Matthew 6:31-33 KJV
31 Therefore take no thought, saying, What shall we eat? or, What shall we drink? or, Wherewithal shall we be clothed?
32 (For after all these things do the Gentiles seek:) for your heavenly Father knoweth that ye have need of all these things.
33 But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.

John 7:24 KJV
24 Judge not according to the appearance, but judge righteous judgment.

John 3:21 KJHV
21 But he that doeth truth cometh to the light, that his deeds may be made manifest, that they are wrought in God.

Ephesians 4:22-24 KJV
22 That ye put off concerning the former conversation the old man, which is corrupt according to the deceitful lusts;
23 And be renewed in the spirit of your mind;
24 And that ye put on the new man, which after God is created in righteousness and true holiness.

Thoughts are distractions and appearances that lie of separation. Righteous judgment is Truth Known and Lived. Seek ye the Light of Truth, Dwell in It, and Live in the New Man Revealed by Christ. Come to the Light. ~Al Denninger

“Chapter 8

CONTEMPLATION DEVELOPS THE BEHOLDER

Many times the young student is likely to believe that the spiritual or contemplative way of life is a life without discipline, but the very opposite of this is true, because there is no life that requires greater discipline than does the spiritual life.” ~Joel S Goldsmith

1 Corinthians 15:58 KJV
58 Therefore, my beloved brethren, be ye stedfast, unmoveable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, forasmuch as ye know that your labour is not in vain in the Lord.

1 Corinthians 9:24-27 KJV
24 Know ye not that they which run in a race run all, but one receiveth the prize? So run, that ye may obtain.
25 And every man that striveth for the mastery is temperate in all things. Now they do it to obtain a corruptible crown; but we an incorruptible.
26 I therefore so run, not as uncertainly; so fight I, not as one that beateth the air:
27 But I keep under my body, and bring it into subjection: lest that by any means, when I have preached to others, I myself should be a castaway.

Isaiah 26:3 KJV
3 Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on thee: because he trusteth in thee.

The Spiritual Life will require all of your focus, not just sometimes. The Way is straight and narrow and few there be that are willing to walk the razors edge. Give it all to God and He will hold you steadily balanced. All that the Father hath is thine. Be worthy and steadfast. ~Al Denninger
