The Daily Lesson - January 23, 2019

"Do not be impatient if you have to take some long way around. I will bring you by a way you know not of. It will not always appear to you as a short cut; it will not always be without a few bleeding footsteps or even a cross, but nevertheless I am leading you through this world of illusion back to your Father's house which I am." ~Joel S Goldsmith

John 14:1,2 (KJV)
1 Let not your heart be troubled: ye believe in God, believe also in me.

Mark 8:34 (KJV)
34 And when he had called the people unto him with his disciples also, he said unto them, Whosoever will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me.

The Daily Lesson - January 22, 2019

"Do not be impatient if it takes a little time for you to reach home. You have already become involved with people and entangled in situations that you cannot leave suddenly. You will have to be led away from these without injury to the life, the well-being, or the comfort of others. You cannot have your life and well-being at the expense of others. That is not the law. 'Love thy neighbor as thyself' ls the law. That, you can do, if you look unto Me, if you understand that I in the midst of you am Self-sustained." ~Joel S Goldsmith

I John 4:7,8 & 11 (KJV)
7 Beloved, let us love one another: for love is of God; and every one that loveth is born of God, and knoweth God.
8 He that loveth not knoweth not God; for God is love.

11 Beloved, if God so loved us, we ought also to love one another.

Pure Love cannot do harm or be withheld. It can only Love - without condition.
Be Love Loving… ~Al Denninger

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

14 For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God.

The nature of error is nothingness so bearing false witness is a trap. If you find yourself in a trap, stop digging and giving it power - be still and Let yourself Be Led and Lifted by The Spirit. ~Al Denninger

The Daily Lesson - January 17, 2019

"I am the way: live by way of Me. Do not live by way of the world. Do not live by way of form-even so powerful a form, as a hydrogen bomb. I am your high tower, and I am your fortress.

"Does the creature talk back to the Creator? Does the clay talk to the potter? No! I am the potter, I am the creator, and all creation hearkens unto Me. The heavens declare My glory.

The Daily Lesson - January 15, 2019

"Many times you have left Me. Many times you live made false gods: gods of gold and silver, gods of pills, powders, and plasters, and looked to them for health and joy.

13 And not many days after the younger son gathered all together, and took his journey into a far country, and there wasted his substance with riotous living.
14 And when he had spent all, there arose a mighty famine in that land; and he began to be in want.
15 And he went and joined himself to a citizen of that country; and he sent him into his fields to feed swine.
16 And he would fain have filled his belly with the husks that the swine did eat: and no man gave unto him.
17 And when he came to himself, he said, How many hired servants of my father's have bread enough and to spare, and I perish with hunger!
18 I will arise and go to my father, and will say unto him, Father, I have sinned against heaven, and before thee,
19 And am no more worthy to be called thy son: make me as one of thy hired servants.
20 And he arose, and came to his father. But when he was yet a great way off, his father saw him, and had compassion, and ran, and fell on his neck, and kissed him.
21 And the son said unto him, Father, I have sinned against heaven, and in thy sight, and am no more worthy to be called thy son.
22 But the father said to his servants, Bring forth the best robe, and put it on him; and put a ring on his hand, and shoes on his feet:
23 And bring hither the fatted calf, and kill it; and let us eat, and be merry:
24 For this my son was dead, and is alive again; he was lost, and is found

No matter how distracted you may get, it does not change the fact that - ALL that the Father hath is thine, was thine and always will be thine. Is it possible to be separated from Omnipresence? ~Al Denninger

"All those who put their hand to the plow must determine never to turn back - never. Lot's wife turned away; she looked back, away from God, and was lost. The way is straight and narrow, and few there be that enter, but those few are those who attain. And when they attain, what is it they have attained?

"That is my true identity, and that is the I that is looking out through my eyes. That is the I of me that now is a teacher and healer, but that same I was with me when I was a salesman selling merchandise. That I is the same I that was there when I was in school.

"We never discard our form - our concept of form, yes. We discarded one such concept when we were three years of age, one when we were thirteen years, another at twenty-one, and still another when we were in the forties. So we keep on discarding these concepts of form, yet the I goes on forever, and the I always has form; I is always embodied as form.

"I is neither male nor female: I is I. I is neither bond nor free. I is the universal, supreme, divine, true identity of all of us, regardless of what form it may have assumed in this incarnation.

We must learn to live with this I in the midst of us, learn to look to It for all inspiration. If we need an idea for a book or for a painting, for business or for law, regardless of what it is, the I encompasses it. And this I is within us. Then if it is necessary to find a book, a teacher, a publisher - whatever it is - when we turn within, the I will appear outwardly as the form necessary to our unfoldment at any moment." ~Joel S Goldsmith

11 And they, when they had heard that he was alive, and had been seen of her, believed not.
12 After that he appeared in another form unto two of them, as they walked, and went into the country.
13 And they went and told it unto the residue: neither believed they them.
14 Afterward he appeared unto the eleven as they sat at meat,

Luke 24:12-16 (KJV)
12 Then arose Peter, and ran unto the sepulchre; and stooping down, he beheld the linen clothes laid by themselves, and departed, wondering in himself at that which was come to pass.
13 And, behold, two of them went that same day to a village called Emmaus, which was from Jerusalem about threescore furlongs.
14 And they talked together of all these things which had happened.
15 And it came to pass, that, while they communed together and reasoned, Jesus himself drew near, and went with them.
16 But their eyes were holden that they should not know him.

I will appear in whatever form needed to be an Activity of Love Loving, right here - now and forever. ~Al Denninger

"Each one has formed for himself a body, a home in which he is brought up, and an activity in which to function, all of which serve the purpose of developing consciousness to the point of recognition or realization. Every experience of our childhood, the good as well as the bad, and every experience in our business or home life have been necessary to bring us to this unfoldment. We have always been functioning at the particular level necessary for our spiritual development because the purpose of our being here is to unfold spiritually, moving from experience to experience until the I that we are stands forth in all Its purity and fullness." ~Joel S Goldsmith

"So with you. It is your unfolding consciousness that has brought you to this particular phase of experience sufficiently developed to open yourself to a spiritual approach to life. You have lived on the animal plane; you have lived on the mental plane; and now you are approaching the spiritual plane. Let us not forget that during all this time there is still a little of the animal left in each one of us and a little of the mental also, but by now most of us are committed to the spiritual way." ~Joel S Goldsmith

II Timothy 3:16-17 (KJV)

"What further lessons have to be learned that can be learned only in the context of a life-experience and whether there will be a need for me to be born again will depend on whether there is a need for the particular service I have to offer on earth. If there is, I will reincarnate." ~Joel S Goldsmith

Matt 6:10 Thy will (KJV)
10 …Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven.

Numbers 16:28 (KJV)
28 And Moses said, Hereby ye shall know that the Lord hath sent me to do all these works; for I have not done them of mine own mind.

I Corinthians 15:45-49 (KJV)
45 And so it is written, The first man Adam was made a living soul; the last Adam was made a quickening spirit.
46 Howbeit that was not first which is spiritual, but that which is natural; and afterward that which is spiritual.
47 The first man is of the earth, earthy: the second man is the Lord from heaven.
48 As is the earthy, such are they also that are earthy: and as is the heavenly, such are they also that are heavenly.
49 And as we have borne the image of the earthy, we shall also bear the image of the heavenly.

Mark 10:27 (KJV)
27 And Jesus looking upon them saith, With men it is impossible, but not with God: for with God all things are possible.

I Know this: when I am Asked, I will do His Will without reserve, thought or hesitation… ~Al Denninger

"Whether you or I will be born again depends on this question:

Will there be a reason for it? There was a reason for my being born this last time. It was because I had not made God-contact; the I had not broken through, and it took this experience to break the shell." ~Joel S Goldsmith

Romans 8:28 (KJV)
28 And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose.

II Timothy 1:9 (KJV)
9 Who hath saved us, and called us with an holy calling, not according to our works, but according to his own purpose and grace, which was given us in Christ Jesus before the world began,

Remain focused, no matter what… Every little step you take on your Path is according to His Purpose. ~Al Denninger

The Daily Lesson - December 25, 2018

"There is the man who is the purely animal man who goes after what he wants with hammer and tongs, using the sheer physical force of his body or the might of temporal weapons. Then there is the man who goes after things with his mind, and although most persons are honest and try to earn what they want, when these things do not come easily, they sometimes develop tricks to get what they want legally, but not too ethically, and if that does not work, they may go outside the law and steal or even kill to get what they want. On a larger scale, man resorts to a legal form of murder that is called war.

Eventually, perhaps after many lifetimes, that man who has depended upon physical and mental force begins to rise to the status of spiritual man, and that is the story of unfolding consciousness." ~Joel S Goldsmith

Zechariah 4:6 (KJV)
6 Then he answered and spake unto me, saying, This is the word of the Lord unto Zerubbabel, saying, Not by might, nor by power, but by my spirit, saith the Lord of hosts.

I Corinthians 13:10-12 King James Version (KJV)
10 But when that which is perfect is come, then that which is in part shall be done away.
11 When I was a child, I spake as a child, I understood as a child, I thought as a child: but when I became a man, I put away childish things.
12 For now we see through a glass, darkly; but then face to face: now I know in part; but then shall I know even as also I am known.

I Am a Lamp unto thy feet. Step by step, onward and upward as Consciousness Unfolds, I Am with thee… ~Al Denninger

The Daily Lesson - December 24, 2018

"This is because eating of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil in what is known as the Garden-of-Eden experience has resulted in the false state of consciousness which we call humanhood, and in this state of humanhood we not only need one another, but we need things, we need money, we need this, we need that. All human experience is a going out and a getting of things." ~Joel S Goldsmith

John 2:13-16 (KJV)
13 And the Jews' passover was at hand, and Jesus went up to Jerusalem,
14 And found in the temple those that sold oxen and sheep and doves, and the changers of money sitting:
15 And when he had made a scourge of small cords, he drove them all out of the temple, and the sheep, and the oxen; and poured out the changers' money, and overthrew the tables;
16 And said unto them that sold doves, Take these things hence; make not my Father's house an house of merchandise.

(Timely message huh, considering this time of year when the getting and giving of things seems to be so important.)

Ps 127:1 (to :) (KJV)
1 Except the Lord build the house, they labour in vain that build it:

The Daily Lesson - December 23, 2018

"This, I cannot prove to you. You will have to take my word for it, or doubt it until you have an experience of your own that shows you that this I of which you have been aware since you were born really existed before you came forth into this experience. By divine Grace I have been shown other lives which I have lived, so I know that was here before and I also know some of the experiences that I have had.

Every one of us in some time past, in some earlier form of evolution was the animal man, then the mental man, and later was prepared to come into this particular state, evolving into some measure of spiritual man. All this takes time although it is really not a matter of time: is a matter of evolution which in our experience appears as time." ~Joel S Goldsmith

Rom 8:2-14 (KJV)
2 For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus hath made me free from the law of sin and death.
3 For what the law could not do, in that it was weak through the flesh, God sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh, and for sin, condemned sin in the flesh:
4 That the righteousness of the law might be fulfilled in us, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.
5 For they that are after the flesh do mind the things of the flesh; but they that are after the Spirit the things of the Spirit.
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.
8 So then they that are in the flesh cannot please God.
9 But ye are not in the flesh, but in the Spirit, if so be that the Spirit of God dwell in you. Now if any man have not the Spirit of Christ, he is none of his.
10 And if Christ be in you, the body is dead because of sin; but the Spirit is life because of righteousness.
11 But if the Spirit of him that raised up Jesus from the dead dwell in you, he that raised up Christ from the dead shall also quicken your mortal bodies by his Spirit that dwelleth in you.
12 Therefore, brethren, we are debtors, not to the flesh, to live after the flesh.
13 For if ye live after the flesh, ye shall die: but if ye through the Spirit do mortify the deeds of the body, ye shall live.
14 For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God.

We shall all be Raised up into a Higher Experience - and at that instant the prodigal experience and all of its senses are dissolved. ~Al Denninger

"I can recall the day when, as a very young boy, my mother said to me, 'I know what's wrong with you, Joel. You're looking for God.'

'Mom, how can you say that? I don't even know if there is a God.'

'Oh, but I know. You're looking for God.'

Certainly I was, and this life today is just the fruition. I came into this world looking for God, but no one would believe that judging by my first thirty-eight years. That hunger was all locked up inside of me. I would not have dared to tell that to anybody, although when I was nineteen, I could tell my mother, 'I've discovered you're right. There is a God, but I can't find Him. No matter with whom I talk, they don't seem to know Him.'

And she said, 'Well, please don't stop, and when you've found Him, come and tell me'- and I hope I'm telling her." ~Joel S Goldsmith

Deuteronomy 4:29 (KJV)
29 But if from thence thou shalt seek the Lord thy God, thou shalt find him, if thou seek him with all thy heart and with all thy soul.

The Daily Lesson - December 20, 2018

"My own conviction of truth of this is the result of my particular life-experience, and even now as I try to compare my former life on this plane with the one I am now living, the questions arise:

How could this happen? What could make such a thing happen? How could one live two such completely different lives and be two such completely different persons in the same lifetime? Then I go back inside and ask: Is this really true? Am I not now the person that I always was, but unable to show outwardly what was inside because I did not know how to reach it? Is not this what I have always longed for? Is not this what I have always visioned, but could not break through?" ~Joel S Goldsmith

Luke 12:2 (KJV)
2 For there is nothing covered, that shall not be revealed; neither hid, that shall not be known.

John 12:24-25 (KJV)
24 Verily, verily, I say unto you, Except a corn of wheat fall into the ground and die, it abideth alone: but if it die, it bringeth forth much fruit.
25 He that loveth his life shall lose it; and he that hateth his life in this world shall keep it unto life eternal.

Genesis 28:16 (KJV)

The Daily Lesson - December 19, 2018

"Does this mean reincarnation? In many cases it does because if we are born into this particular plane once, there is no reason why we could not be born into it a dozen times if there is a valid reason for repeating the experience. The questions that must be answered by each one of us are: Why did I choose to come here? Why was I sent here? The answer depends on our point of view. Were we sent into expression here? Did we choose to come into expression, or did we just come? That you can only determine for yourself.

If in the light of my experience, I say to you what I am convinced is true, that we are sent here for a specific purpose and that that purpose is being worked out, there is no way that I can convey it to you so that you will believe it. It is up to you to arrive at that conviction within yourself, so that you can receive enlightenment on it." ~Joel S Goldsmith

Ezekiel 37:12-14 Thus (to 2nd ,) (KJV)
12 …Thus saith the Lord God; Behold, O my people, I will open your graves [a limited sense of being], and cause you to come up out of your graves, and bring you into the land of Israel [The Kingdom of God].
13 And ye shall know that I am the Lord, when I have opened your graves, O my people, and brought you up out of your graves,
14 And shall put my spirit in you, and ye shall live,

John 3:3-7 (KJV)
3 Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.
4 Nicodemus saith unto him, How can a man be born when he is old? can he enter the second time into his mother's womb, and be born?
5 Jesus answered, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God.
6 That which is born of the flesh is flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit.
7 Marvel not that I said unto thee, Ye must be born again.

II Corinthians 5:1 (KJV)
1 For we know that if our earthly house of this tabernacle were dissolved, we have a building of God, an house not made with hands, eternal in the heavens.

Life does not start up and then stop. It is an ongoing Experience - a perpetual opening out a Way for the Imprisoned splendor to escape. ~Al Denninger

The Daily Lesson - December 18, 2018

"That part of us is the I, that I which is individual identity, that I which must have existed before conception, before there was a form as which to manifest, just as that I will continue to exist after I relinquish this form. This does not mean that I will be without form: it means that the form of that I will probably be of a different nature and texture. It is merely this particular concept of form that will be outgrown and will disappear. But I, I continue forever." ~Joel S Goldsmith

29 My Father, which gave them me, is greater than all; and no man is able to pluck them out of my Father's hand. 30 I and my Father are one.

II 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.

"If we are honest, we will have to admit that nobody knows us except ourselves, and perhaps more than ninety-nine per cent of us do not understand or know even ourselves.

"So we look in the mirror with a new kind of vision: Now I know that I am not inside of this form: I am that which governs this form; I am that which moves around in, and is identified by, this form, but I am not this form.

"'Call no man your father upon the earth: for one is your Father, which is in heaven.' How can the son of that Father be other than spiritual being, spiritual entity and identity, incorporeal and invisible being? How can that son of God be seen walking the earth?

"This leads us to the questions: Who are we? What are we? Where are we? Most of us already know that we are not confined to our body, and once we know that, we have taken a tremendous leap forward on the spiritual path, because if we are convinced that we are not in the body, it should not take very long or involve overmuch reasoning to establish the truth that being out of the body and invisible, we must be incorporeal and spiritual, something other than body.

CHAPTER VIII
THE MYSTICAL I
"The search for God must be conducted within, but this does not mean within our body because no amount of mental or physical probing has ever revealed the kingdom of God in any person's body. Therefore, we can quickly put aside any idea of searching for it in the spinal cord, stomach, heart, or even in the brain. The Kingdom is to be found within-within us." ~Joel S Goldsmith

Luke 17:20,21 (KJV)
20 And when he was demanded of the Pharisees, when the kingdom of God should come, he answered them and said, The kingdom of God cometh not with observation:
