Infinite Way Students of the Ozarks
"The Daily Lesson"
|
The subject for our current study is the entire book
"The Art of Meditation"
By Joel S Goldsmith
On September 18th, 2017, we began Chapter 12 - "For He Is Thy
Life"
"The Daily Lesson" is a progression of excerpts from tapes
recorded by Joel, or from his books or writings.
It appears here and in email format each day,
together with the addition of corroborating scripture
and inspired comments by the Practitioner and Teacher ~ Al Denninger,
to take into meditation and live with throughout your day.
Students note: There are words that are capitalized throughout my work.
These words are used as if they are a synonym for, or as an activity of God.
The portions that are italicized are spontaneous meditations.
At the conclusion of each chapter the "Daily's" are compiled and
posted to the
IWSO Archives in PDF format for
your further review and study.

The Daily Lesson - September 19, 2017
"It is true that, at some time or other, we all pass from human sight.
Each, in his own time, will leave this plane of consciousness. Those who have
no knowledge of God and their relationship to God may be forced out of their
bodies by disease, accident, or old age; but those with a right understanding
of God will make the transition without struggle, pain, or infirmity. All
eventually will leave this plane.
'In my Father's house are many mansions.' We pass from infancy to childhood,
childhood to adolescence, and adolescence to maturity - each state of
consciousness, one of God's many mansions. Those who accept the transition from
one state of consciousness to another as an activity of God, not looking back
in a vain attempt to cling to states of consciousness which should have been
outgrown, do not experience the infirmities of old age. Resisting the advancing
years, as if they were something to be feared, produces many of the discords
associated with age. Accepting the normal, natural change, which accompanies
the transition from one stage of life to another, will enable us to look
forward to the experience of the middle years and the advanced years with joy
and confidence rather than with fear and dread." ~Joel S Goldsmith
Ps 40:8 (KJV)
8 I delight to do thy will, O my God: yea, thy law is within my heart.
"I can of mine own self do nothing, Father. I am so Blessed to know
that as in Heaven so on earth, Thy will is Omnipotent and supreme… There
is no greater pleasure than to Be an Instrument of and for your Good. I accept
Thy will joyfully, no matter what it is. My Life is complete to Know
this…Comfortable and content at every step of the Way… And so it is -
all that is left is a Smile… … …" ~al.within

The Daily Lesson - September 18, 2017
"CHAPTER XII
FOR HE IS THY LIFE
For I have no pleasure in the death of him that dieth, saith the Lord God:
wherefore turn yourselves, and live ye. EZEKIEL 18:32
. . . for He is thy life, and the length of thy days . . . DEUTERONOMY 30:20
In my Father's house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told
you. JOHN 14:2
He that believeth on me hath everlasting life. JOHN 6:47
And this is the will of him that sent me, that every one which seeth the Son
and believeth on him, may have everlasting life. . . . JOHN 6:40
Immortality is the realization of our true identity as God-being, an identity
without beginning and without end, eternal and everlasting: It is a recognition
of God as the Father and God as the Son. To those on the spiritual path, this
is not a new idea. It is the foundation stone upon which rests every great
spiritual teaching known to man. But the essence of this teaching has been
buried in the prevalent concepts of immortality as a Methuselah-plus existence
in this world, or as an eternal existence of bliss after death. The first is
merely a gilded notion of longevity. The second is based upon the faulty
premise that death is a part of God's creation, whereas the Master clearly
stated, 'The last enemy that shall he overcome is death.' ~Joel S Goldsmith
"In the Kingdom of God there is only His Life and His Peace. I Am Present,
and therefore Included." ~Al Denninger
