The Daily Lesson

"THE DAILY LESSON", an ongoing open class by Infinite Way Teacher Al Denninger, is inspired by the message of Joel S. Goldsmith. In this Book Study we delve into Joel's books paragraph by paragraph, from cover to cover. I provide Scripture supporting his entire Work and an Impartation from my daily Experience. These classes appear on my website and by email subscription each day, for my students to take into their daily meditations and to carry with them throughout their day.

We are currently studying the book "THE CONTEMPLATIVE LIFE" By Joel S Goldsmith
On October 10th, 2026, we began Chapter 10 "Meditation On Life By Grace"

STUDENTS NOTE:In my teaching, the words that are capitalized throughout the work are not capitalized for emphasis. Instead, the purpose is to Lift the student into the Awareness that these words are a Synonym for, or an Activity of God. The portions that are italicized are spontaneous meditations.

At the conclusion of each chapter the Lessons are posted to the IWSO Archives, where there are over 16 years of consecutive Lessons for your further review and study!

The Daily Lesson – October 25, 2026

“God Is Your Dwelling Place Many persons have been taught that if they wanted something, they should pray for it. If they needed a new home, they prayed specifically for a new home or did ‘mental work’ about it. But in the Infinite Way, or for that matter in any other mystical teaching, no one would do ‘mental work,’ take thought, or pray about attaining or acquiring a home. What he would do would be to settle down into a meditation, and if he found it difficult to become still, he might begin by realizing:

There can be only one home because I live and dwell in God; I live and move and have my being in God.” ~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.

Acts 17:28 KJV
28 For in him we live, and move, and have our being; as certain also of your own poets have said, For we are also his offspring.

Living and moving and Being is not something in the past that happened once, or something that might happen again someday… It is Now, right now that we are God’s Offspring... We are God’s Living Individual Expression... If so be I Dwell in God’s Kingdom, what could I possibly ask for?... Should I be thinking about improving my experience in this-world?... My Father already Knows what I have need of… God is my Shepherd, I shall not want… I can of mine own self do nothing… The Spirit within, He doeth the Work… I am Home… ~Al Denninger

“When your prayer is a complete relaxing in the Word, you are fulfilling the requirements of prayer, the prayer which is a realization of God's presence and power.” ~Joel S Goldsmith

Matthew 6:5 KJV
6 But thou, when thou prayest, enter into thy closet, and when thou hast shut thy door, pray to thy Father which is in secret;

Psalm 46:10 (to :) KJV
10 Be still, and know that I am God:

Hebrews 4:9-11 KJV
9 There remaineth therefore a rest to the people of God.
10 For he that is entered into his rest, he also hath ceased from his own works, as God did from his.
11 Let us labour therefore to enter into that rest, lest any man fall after the same example of unbelief.

Philippians 4:7 KJV
7 And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.

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

When we enter into our Secret Place and relax in God’s Word our prayer is not ours any more, and our work is not ours anymore, it is His. God’s Kingdom is Come. There is nothing left to do but to Be still and rest in His Presence in awe and gratitude. During this Great Peace that Passeth understanding, our heart and mind is His Expression. Christ Liveth our Life. ~Al Denninger

The Daily Lesson – October 23, 2026

“As you go through the day, discords will most likely present themselves to you, and oftentimes they will be in the form of erroneous persons. If so, you will be called upon to realize that in the presence of God there is only the person of God's creating. At other times, evil may present itself to you as some kind of a negative law: a law of matter, weather, or climate, and it will be necessary for you to know that inasmuch as God is Spirit and infinite, the only law must be spiritual law.” ~Joel S Goldsmith

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

1 John 4:1-6 NIV
1 Dear friends, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits to see whether they are from God, because many false prophets have gone out into the world.
2 This is how you can recognize the Spirit of God: Every spirit that acknowledges that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is from God,
3 but every spirit that does not acknowledge Jesus is not from God. This is the spirit of the antichrist, which you have heard is coming and even now is already in the world.
4 You, dear children, are from God and have overcome them, because the one who is in you is greater than the one who is in the world.
5 They are from the world and therefore speak from the viewpoint of the world, and the world listens to them.
6 We are from God, and whoever knows God listens to us; but whoever is not from God does not listen to us. This is how we recognize the Spirit of truth and the spirit of falsehood.

This world is full of distractions and every one of them is erroneous—the evil distractions and even the good distractions, if they lead us off the straight and narrow and down some rabbit hole. Appearances of false prophets, universal belief, lack, the spirit of falsehood or hypnotism are all the same thing—distractions that occupy our thought and convince us that we are somehow separated from the Spirit of Truth. We are from God and our job is to acknowledge, practice and Live as such. Realize God and Live the Truth. ~Al Denninger

The Daily Lesson – October 22, 2026

“There is only one legitimate thing for which to pray to God and that is for the realization of God's presence and God's power. It is legitimate to ask God to give you Himself, but nothing else. As a matter of fact, there is nothing else anyone could need or want. When you have attained the realization of God's Self, you will recognize how wise and true was the Master's statement, ‘All these things shall be added unto you’; only be sure that you are not taking thought for these things, and that your whole desire is for the understanding of God:

Where I am, God is; and God knows all about me. He knows my need before I do, and it is His good pleasure to give me the Kingdom. I will relax and rest in His word; I will not seek to use a God-power, nor will I seek to influence God.” ~Joel S Goldsmith

II Corinthians 3:14-17 KJV
14 But their minds were blinded: for until this day remaineth the same veil untaken away in the reading of the old testament; which veil is done away in Christ.
15 But even unto this day, when Moses is read, the veil is upon their heart.
16 Nevertheless when it shall turn to the Lord, the veil shall be taken away.
17 Now the Lord is that Spirit: and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty.

Luke 12:22-32 KJV
22 And he said unto his disciples, Therefore I say unto you, Take no thought for your life, what ye shall eat; neither for the body, what ye shall put on.
23 The life is more than meat, and the body is more than raiment.
24 Consider the ravens: for they neither sow nor reap; which neither have storehouse nor barn; and God feedeth them: how much more are ye better than the fowls?
25 And which of you with taking thought can add to his stature one cubit?
26 If ye then be not able to do that thing which is least, why take ye thought for the rest?
27 Consider the lilies how they grow: they toil not, they spin not; and yet I say unto you, that Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these.
28 If then God so clothe the grass, which is to-day in the field, and to-morrow is cast into the oven; how much more will he clothe you, O ye of little faith?
29 And seek not ye what ye shall eat, or what ye shall drink, neither be ye of doubtful mind.
30 For all these things do the nations of the world seek after: and your Father knoweth that ye have need of these things.
31 But rather seek ye the kingdom of God; and all these things shall be added unto you.
32 Fear not, little flock; for it is your Father's good pleasure to give you the kingdom.

Acts 8:18-22 KJV
18 And when Simon saw that through laying on of the apostles' hands the Holy Ghost was given, he offered them money,
19 Saying, Give me also this power, that on whomsoever I lay hands, he may receive the Holy Ghost.
20 But Peter said unto him, Thy money perish with thee, because thou hast thought that the gift of God may be purchased with money.
21 Thou hast neither part nor lot in this matter: for thy heart is not right in the sight of God.
22 Repent therefore of this thy wickedness, and pray God, if perhaps the thought of thine heart may be forgiven thee.

I can do nothing… You Father, You, within me do the Work and Show me Liberty … I cannot obtain You Father, You are already within me, Knowing me… My thoughts of this-world have blinded me and put the veil of separation back on… I turn within, to You, Father… Forgive me… Lead me in the Paths of Righteousness—back to You… Resting in Your Word… ~Al Denninger

“Being infinite, God cannot give you anything but Himself, and when you pray for something other than God, you are praying amiss. When you pray to God for health, for peace on earth, for supply, for home, or for companionship, you are praying like the pagans who began this whole practice of that kind of petitionary prayer thousands of years ago.” ~Joel S Goldsmith

Luke 15:31 KJV
31 And he said unto him, Son, thou art ever with me, and all that I have is thine.

Matthew 6:7,8 KJV
7 But when ye pray, use not vain repetitions, as the heathen do: for they think that they shall be heard for their much speaking.
8 Be not ye therefore like unto them: for your Father knoweth what things ye have need of, before ye ask him.

Ephesians 3:19-21 KJV
19 And to know the love of Christ, which passeth knowledge, that ye might be filled with all the fulness of God.
20 Now unto him that is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that worketh in us,
21 Unto him be glory in the church by Christ Jesus throughout all ages, world without end. Amen.

God is Love—Infinite Love. When he Gives you Love you get the whole package—you have It All! Any desire you may have had is Fulfilled. All that the Father Hath is thine. ~Al Denninger

“Moreover, you are perhaps expecting God to give you health, supply, companionship, or home; and if you are, you are praying amiss. The Master is very clear on that point: ‘Take no thought for your life, what ye shall eat, or what ye shall drink; nor yet for your body, what ye shall put on.... If ye abide in me, and my words abide in you, ye shall ask what ye will, and it shall be done unto you.’ Abide in what words? The word that God is and that God is where you are, that God does know your need and gives it to you freely, and that your function is to relax and to be a beholder, letting God's grace unfold.” ~Joel S Goldsmith

James 4:3 (to ,) KJV
3 Ye ask, and receive not, because ye ask amiss,

Matthew 6:25 (to .) KJV
25 Therefore I say unto you, Take no thought for your life, what ye shall eat, or what ye shall drink; nor yet for your body, what ye shall put on.

John 15:7 KJV
7 If ye abide in me, and my words abide in you, ye shall ask what ye will, and it shall be done unto you.

Matthew 6:8 KJV
8 Be not ye therefore like unto them: for your Father knoweth what things ye have need of, before ye ask him.

Psalm 46:10 KJV
10 Be still, and know that I am God: I will be exalted among the heathen, I will be exalted in the earth.

Turn you expectation to Beholding the Presence of God and all-harmonious Grace will fall into Its Perfect Place. Embrace God’s Love and nothing else matters, because nothing else Is. God is Glorified by His every Individual Expression. ~Al Denninger

“Why We Do Not Experience the Kingdom

The question may arise in your mind: If God is present, if God already knows my need, if it is God's good pleasure to give me the Kingdom, then why am I not experiencing it? The only answer to that question is that instead of recognizing that God is, that God is present where you are, that God already knows your need, and that it is His good pleasure to give you the Kingdom, you have perhaps gone way off somewhere trying to find God, trying to get God-power, trying to discover what you can do to bring God into your experience. You have been looking in the wrong direction: You have been looking where God is not, that is, where God is not as far as your immediate demonstration of harmony is concerned. ~Joel S Goldsmith

Psalms 91:8 KJV
8 Only with thine eyes shalt thou behold and see the reward of the wicked.

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.

Isaiah 55:1-3 KJV
1 Ho, every one that thirsteth, come ye to the waters, and he that hath no money; come ye, buy, and eat; yea, come, buy wine and milk without money and without price.
2 Wherefore do ye spend money for that which is not bread? and your labour for that which satisfieth not? hearken diligently unto me, and eat ye that which is good, and let your soul delight itself in fatness.
3 Incline your ear, and come unto me: hear, and your soul shall live; and I will make an everlasting covenant with you, even the sure mercies of David.

Matthew 6:19-21 & 33 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.
33 But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.

Only with this-world eyes and thoughts can we be distracted, or have a sense of separation from God. Incline your Ear and behold the Ever-presence of God. Right where you are God Is. Open your Awareness to that which Is. When we are focused on and Dwell in the Secret Place of Truth, the old man and all of his ideas fade away into the nothingess it always was. ~Al Denninger

“Never forget that you do not have to ask God for anything: God is already closer to you than breathing, God is already omnipresent where you are; and more than this, God is the all-knowing intelligence that already knows your need. Therefore, do not waste any time telling God what you need or when you need it or how much you need because it is His good pleasure to give you the Kingdom.” ~Joel S Goldsmith

Acts 17:27-28 KJV
27 That they should seek the Lord, if haply they might feel after him, and find him, though he be not far from every one of us:
28 For in him we live, and move, and have our being; as certain also of your own poets have said, For we are also his offspring.

Job 33:4 KJV
4 The spirit of God hath made me, and the breath of the Almighty hath given me life.

Luke 12:29-31 KJV
29 And seek not ye what ye shall eat, or what ye shall drink, neither be ye of doubtful mind.
30 For all these things do the nations of the world seek after: and your Father knoweth that ye have need of these things.

Ephesians 1:8,9 KJV
8 Wherein he hath abounded toward us in all wisdom and prudence;
9 Having made known unto us the mystery of his will, according to his good pleasure which he hath purposed in himself:

When the Spirit of God Breathed His Life into you, It permanently stays within you, he did not draw it back out... For, in Him we Live as His Expression... We are as branches on the Vine Living in Contact with the Spirit of the Vine... The Vine’s Living Waters Flow through us... We shall never thirst… Does the branch inform the Vine of its needs?... Does the Vine withhold from the branch?... All that the Father hath is Ours; the Breath, Wine, Water, Bread and the Blood...

“God is omnipresence. ‘The place whereon thou standest is holy ground’ because the presence of God is there. So you do not have to spend time wondering how to reach God, how to bring Him into your experience, or how to make yourself worthy of Him, but you live and move and have your being in the realization that wherever you are, God is. It makes no difference whether you are sick, momentarily sinning, temporarily in lack or limitation, or even if you are dying. Right where you are, God is, and your function is merely to keep remembering that, but not to try to make it happen because it is already true.” ~Joel S Goldsmith

Acts 7:33 KJV
33 Then said the Lord to him, Put off thy shoes from thy feet: for the place where thou standest is holy ground.

Psalms 139:7-10 KJV
7 Whither shall I go from thy spirit? or whither shall I flee from thy presence?
8 If I ascend up into heaven, thou art there: if I make my bed in hell, behold, thou art there.
9 If I take the wings of the morning, and dwell in the uttermost parts of the sea;
10 Even there shall thy hand lead me, and thy right hand shall hold me.

Isaiah 40:28-31 KJV
28 Hast thou not known? hast thou not heard, that the everlasting God, the Lord, the Creator of the ends of the earth, fainteth not, neither is weary? there is no searching of his understanding.
29 He giveth power to the faint; and to them that have no might he increaseth strength.
30 Even the youths shall faint and be weary, and the young men shall utterly fall:
31 But they that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint.

Proverbs 3:5-6 KJV
5 Trust in the Lord with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding.
6 In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths.

There is only One Truth, One Source and there is no other. The Lord is your Shepherd, you shalt not want. Right where you are, God Is. You do not need to search for God. Just Acknowledge Him. ~Al Denninger

“The major point that everyone on the spiritual path must constantly remember is that he is not seeking a power—not even a God-power-to do anything for him or for anyone else. It is not that he does not need God-power, because God-power is forever present; but no one can bring the power of God into his experience by praying for it, by asking for it, by sacrificing, by being good, or by observing rites, rituals, fast or feast days.” ~Joel S Goldsmith

Isaiah 30:1-3 KJV
1 Woe to the rebellious children, saith the Lord, that take counsel, but not of me; and that cover with a covering, but not of my spirit, that they may add sin to sin:
2 That walk to go down into Egypt, and have not asked at my mouth; to strengthen themselves in the strength of Pharaoh, and to trust in the shadow of Egypt!
3 Therefore shall the strength of Pharaoh be your shame, and the trust in the shadow of Egypt your confusion.

James 4:3-8 KJV
3 Ye ask, and receive not, because ye ask amiss, that ye may consume it upon your lusts.
4 Ye adulterers and adulteresses, know ye not that the friendship of the world is enmity with God? whosoever therefore will be a friend of the world is the enemy of God.
5 Do ye think that the scripture saith in vain, The spirit that dwelleth in us lusteth to envy?
6 But he giveth more grace. Wherefore he saith, God resisteth the proud, but giveth grace unto the humble.
7 Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil [division], and he will flee from you.
8 Draw nigh to God, and he will draw nigh to you. Cleanse your hands, ye sinners; and purify your hearts, ye double minded.

Matthew 6:31-32 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.

Give your heart to God alone, not to distractions, division and imaginings. The Gentiles of this-world seek comfort and supply in the earthly treasures that world-thought has tempted and convinced them is true. Thoughts of a source of a Good other than the Divine Creator, Supplier and Maintainer are hollow concepts and a source of confusion.

“God's Omnipresence

Most persons believe that there is a power of good and a power of evil, and they are always trying to get some power of good to do something to a power of evil. As you enter the spiritual life, however, you soon become aware of the fact that all mystical teachings, and especially the revelations of Christ Jesus, are based on the concept or idea of ‘resist not evil,’ and ‘take no thought.’” ~Joel S Goldsmith

Psalms 139:7 KJV
7 Whither shall I go from thy spirit? or whither shall I flee from thy presence?

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

Romans 13:13 KJV
13 Let every soul be subject unto the higher powers.

II Corinthians 3:13-18 KJV
13 And not as Moses, which put a veil over his face, that the children of Israel could not stedfastly look to the end of that which is abolished:
14 But their minds were blinded: for until this day remaineth the same veil untaken away in the reading of the old testament; which veil is done away in Christ.
15 But even unto this day, when Moses is read, the veil is upon their heart.
16 Nevertheless when it shall turn to the Lord, the veil shall be taken away.
17 Now the Lord is that Spirit: and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty.
18 But we all, with open face beholding as in a glass the glory of the Lord, are changed into the same image from glory to glory, even as by the Spirit of the Lord.

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.

“This is especially true for those who are teachers because it is when they are not teaching that they are living closest to their spiritual center. Then, they are not thinking and speaking through the mind, saying things that oftentimes sound foolish. Words always sound foolish to the real teacher because anyone who has advanced to the point of being a teacher knows that God is not reached through speech or through thought: God is reached only through silence. The one legitimate excuse there is for voicing truth is to teach it, and the only reason for remembering even a little bit of truth is so that you can settle down in conscious union with God and thereby in union with your good.” ~Joel S Goldsmith

Psalm 46:10 (to :) KJV
10 Be still, and know that I am God:

James 4:8 KJV
8 Draw nigh to God, and he will draw nigh to you.

1 Corinthians 2:9-14 KJV
9 But as it is written, Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love him.
10 But God hath revealed them unto us by his Spirit: for the Spirit searcheth all things, yea, the deep things of God.
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.

Isaiah 30:15 KJV
15 For thus saith the Lord God, the Holy One of Israel; In returning and rest shall ye be saved; in quietness and in confidence shall be your strength:

I know this: that if you really want to learn about God, teach about God. It forces you to focus on all aspects of the subject. Good teachers should be able to answer easy questions and will have to answer tough ones too. Some times it takes me a while in stillness and pondering to be able to answer a question, but it is a great opportunity to immerse in the Truth and Let the Truth unfold. The closer to God we get the more Good we are exposed to and can thereby impart. The Spirit searches all things and Reveals all Truth. ~Al Denninger

“The first and very simple rule is not to reach out to God for something, to be sure that you do not believe you need a God-power, and to realize constantly that your only need is for the realization of God's grace. Aside from that, the less talking you do about what you know the better for you and for those you are helping.” ~Joel S Goldsmith

John 15:5 KJV
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.

“Except for the realization of the true nature of prayer, which carries with it the understanding that God does not have to be appealed to or used, and the understanding that all the presence, substance, power, and law of God are where you are, silence is far more valuable than all the speech and all the teaching that can be given. That is why a person can usually do far greater work as a practitioner than as a teacher because a teacher is constantly being called upon to speak, and what he says sometimes deflects from the inward realization that God is. To be able to abide in the is-ness of God is far better than all the teaching or talking in the world. It is not what a person says that does the greater works: it is the quiet, peaceful realization.” ~Joel S Goldsmith

Isaiah 30:15 KJV
15 For thus saith the Lord God, the Holy One of Israel; In returning and rest shall ye be saved; in quietness and in confidence shall be your strength: and ye would not.

John 14:27 KJV
27 Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.

Mathew 6:6-8 KJV
6 But thou, when thou prayest, enter into thy closet, and when thou hast shut thy door, pray to thy Father which is in secret; and thy Father which seeth in secret shall reward thee openly.
7 But when ye pray, use not vain repetitions, as the heathen do: for they think that they shall be heard for their much speaking.
8 Be not ye therefore like unto them: for your Father knoweth what things ye have need of, before ye ask him.

Pray in secrecy and silence. Seeking only to Be with the Righteous Spirit of God. Too Know the Truth—and Prove it. God already Knows, we are the Branches, on and of, the One Vine.

“Beyond a few simple statements of truth which every truth student must understand and realize, there is little of an intricate or difficult nature that one has to know so far as knowing truth is concerned.

John 6:58-69 KJV
58 This is that bread which came down from heaven: not as your fathers did eat manna, and are dead: he that eateth of this bread shall live for ever.
59 These things said he in the synagogue, as he taught in Capernaum.
60 Many therefore of his disciples, when they had heard this, said, This is an hard saying; who can hear it?
61 When Jesus knew in himself that his disciples murmured at it, he said unto them, Doth this offend you?
62 What and if ye shall see the Son of man ascend up where he was before?
63 It is the spirit that quickeneth; the flesh profiteth nothing: the words that I speak unto you, they are spirit, and they are life.
64 But there are some of you that believe not. For Jesus knew from the beginning who they were that believed not, and who should betray him.
65 And he said, Therefore said I unto you, that no man can come unto me, except it were given unto him of my Father.
66 From that time many of his disciples went back, and walked no more with him.
67 Then said Jesus unto the twelve, Will ye also go away?
68 Then Simon Peter answered him, Lord, to whom shall we go? thou hast the words of eternal life.
69 And we believe and are sure that thou art that Christ, the Son of the living God.

Psalm 131 KJV
1 Lord, my heart is not haughty, nor mine eyes lofty: neither do I exercise myself in great matters, or in things too high for me.
2 Surely I have behaved and quieted myself, as a child that is weaned of his mother: my soul is even as a weaned child.
3 Let Israel hope in the Lord from henceforth and for ever.

What Jesus is teaching his disciples in John 6 is definitely “an hard saying”. It is as hard as can be for this-world consciousness, impossible for most casual listeners. The Truth passeth understanding in this-world. Many of the followers of Jesus murmured among themselves, and left him after this teaching. They stopped Following and returned back to their former lives. It is very hard Principle to grasp, for sure.

Only in the Stillness and in the Silence of Dwelling in the secret place of the Most High will we Hear the Word. This takes practice being inwardly still. Quiet yourself as David did. Weaning oneself off this-world’s universal belief is not easy. Be patient with yourself, but be focused and diligent. ~Al Denninger

“Chapter 10

MEDITATION ON LIFE BY GRACE

The greatest spiritual blessings that come into your experience are not brought about so much by what you know of truth as by the degree of silence you can maintain. What you know of truth, that is, of the letter of truth, acts only as a foundation for the real demonstration of spiritual living.” ~Joel S Goldsmith

Psalm 46:10 (to :) KJV
10 Be still, and know that I am God:

Isaiah 40:31 KJV
31 But they that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint.

John 5:39-40 KJV
39 Search the scriptures; for in them ye think ye have eternal life: and they are they which testify of me.
40 And ye will not come to me, that ye might have life.

2 Corinthians 3:3-6 KJV
3 Forasmuch as ye are manifestly declared to be the epistle of Christ ministered by us, written not with ink, but with the Spirit of the living God; not in tables of stone, but in fleshy tables of the heart.
4 And such trust have we through Christ to God-ward:
5 Not that we are sufficient of ourselves to think any thing as of ourselves; but our sufficiency is of God;
6 Who also hath made us able ministers of the new testament; not of the letter, but of the spirit: for the letter killeth, but the spirit giveth life.

Philippians 4:6-7 KJV
6 Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God.
7 And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.

Be still and Wait,
upon The Lord.
And Know His Grace
Is Infinite.

The Spirit Moves,
not on the page.
But in the Peace,
beyond letters,
words and thoughts.

So, won’t you Trust,
the Christ within.
And Listen Deeply,
for His Spirit to,
Open your Heart,
to accept the Gift,
of Eternal Life.
~Al Denninger
