"When we come to the Sermon on the Mount, we are told that the pure in heart shall see God. It does not say anything about being good, but only being pure in heart, pure in consciousness, pure in conviction. If you are really pure through conviction and not for the purpose of reward, but because you have no other sense, no other consciousness than that of purity, you are then really approaching spiritual consciousness." ~Joel S Goldsmith

Hebrews 10:22,23 KJV
22 Let us draw near with a true heart in full assurance of faith, having our hearts sprinkled from an evil conscience, and our bodies washed with pure water.
23 Let us hold fast the profession of our faith without wavering; (for he is faithful that promised;)

Matthew 5:8 KJV
8 Blessed are the pure in heart: for they shall see God.

Titus 1:15 (to :) KJV
15 Unto the pure all things are pure:

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.

"We must read Scripture in the light of what, why, and when. Moses took the Hebrews who had lived with no education or culture, and as slaves under Pharaoh, out of Egypt. He led them out into the wilderness, and found that all of a sudden they were living like wild beasts and that they required specific regulations, and penalties for the violation of these regulations. In this light, therefore, scriptural events take on new meaning. We can see the reason for the Ten Commandments being given to the Hebrews as they then were." ~Joel S Goldsmith

II Timothy 3:16 KJV
16 All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness:

Exodus 32:1-8 (to :) KJV
1 And when the people saw that Moses delayed to come down out of the mount, the people gathered themselves together unto Aaron, and said unto him, Up, make us gods, which shall go before us; for as for this Moses, the man that brought us up out of the land of Egypt, we wot not what is become of him.
2 And Aaron said unto them, Break off the golden earrings, which are in the ears of your wives, of your sons, and of your daughters, and bring them unto me.
3 And all the people brake off the golden earrings which were in their ears, and brought them unto Aaron.
4 And he received them at their hand, and fashioned it with a graving tool, after he had made it a molten calf: and they said, These be thy gods, O Israel, which brought thee up out of the land of Egypt.
5 And when Aaron saw it, he built an altar before it; and Aaron made proclamation, and said, To-morrow is a feast to the Lord.
6 And they rose up early on the morrow, and offered burnt offerings, and brought peace offerings; and the people sat down to eat and to drink, and rose up to play.
7 And the Lord said unto Moses, Go, get thee down; for thy people, which thou broughtest out of the land of Egypt, have corrupted themselves:
8 They have turned aside quickly out of the way which I commanded them:

God finds a Way to give law and order to every level of consciousness. The trick is to learn that we of ourselves can do nothing-that we must stop frequently and seek His Will and Direction. Scripture is Given by God as a rule and guide for our Spiritual Journey. Dig in… ~Al Denninger

"Jesus broke the law of karma. Whenever he healed a sick man, he broke the law of karma. Every time a metaphysician heals a case, he is breaking the law of karma. Not for the world, did Jesus break it, but for himself-although his demonstration is our assurance. You live differently from your fellow man if you know spiritual law. If you live in accordance with divine law, you cannot sin. A sin is the violation of a principle. When you are living according to principle, and when you are living in a state of spiritual consciousness, you do not need the Ten Commandments. You are not in need of the laws which have been passed against stealing when you are living according to principle. You do not need laws against breaking traffic rules: When you have love in your heart, you cannot drive beyond a limit that is safe for others driving on the same highway." ~Joel S Goldsmith

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.

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

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.

"Question: Did Jesus break the law of karma?

Answer: Yes, and you can break the law of karma. But that does not mean that it does not exist. When Jesus indicated that as ye sow, so shall ye reap, he was referring to the law of karma. Karma says that whatever your thought or your conduct is today, you will reap tomorrow, next year, or in your next lifetime. But you can break this law. You can break it by turning away, and living anew through repentance. If a person is sinning and then has a spiritual vision, his previous life disappears; it has passed out of his consciousness; he has broken the law of cause and effect. With that past life wiped out, there can no longer be any effect from it. The word 'karma' is but an oriental word for a universal law, the law of cause and effect." ~Joel S Goldsmith

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.

I Peter 1:13-25 KJV
13 Wherefore gird up the loins of your mind, be sober, and hope to the end for the grace that is to be brought unto you at the revelation of Jesus Christ;
14 As obedient children, not fashioning yourselves according to the former lusts in your ignorance:
15 But as he which hath called you is holy, so be ye holy in all manner of conversation;
16 Because it is written, Be ye holy; for I am holy.
17 And if ye call on the Father, who without respect of persons judgeth according to every man's work, pass the time of your sojourning here in fear:
18 Forasmuch as ye know that ye were not redeemed with corruptible things, as silver and gold, from your vain conversation received by tradition from your fathers;
19 But with the precious blood of Christ, as of a lamb without blemish and without spot:
20 Who verily was foreordained before the foundation of the world, but was manifest in these last times for you,
21 Who by him do believe in God, that raised him up from the dead, and gave him glory; that your faith and hope might be in God.
22 Seeing ye have purified your souls in obeying the truth through the Spirit unto unfeigned love of the brethren, see that ye love one another with a pure heart fervently:
23 Being born again, not of corruptible seed, but of incorruptible, by the word of God, which liveth and abideth for ever.
24 For all flesh is as grass, and all the glory of man as the flower of grass. The grass withereth, and the flower thereof falleth away:
25 But the word of the Lord endureth for ever. And this is the word which by the gospel is preached unto you.

If we give credence to the universal belief of the law of cause and effect in this-world we will reap the corruption that we have given power to. Call no man on earth your father.

"Question: Do we have individual spiritual bodies?

Answer: We have a spiritual body. Paul says we are all 'members of that one body,' but the body is spiritual, and it is infinite in form. Do not try to measure Infinity by your idea of It. You are trying to think of the infinite, spiritual body in terms of time and space. There is only one body, just as there is only one sun in the skies. When you see sunbeams, that is only the appearance. There is only one sunbeam, just as there is only one sun. There is only one body: It is a spiritual body and it is infinitely manifest." Joel S Goldsmith

Ephesians 4:4-7 KJV
4 There is one body, and one Spirit, even as ye are called in one hope of your calling;
5 One Lord, one faith, one baptism,
6 One God and Father of all, who is above all, and through all, and in you all.
7 But unto every one of us is given grace according to the measure of the gift of Christ.

There is One Body, Infinitely formed.
There is one sun with infinite sunbeams.
There is One God, One Spirit, and so there is One Body Infinitely Expressed.
We are those Spiritual Expressions.

Question: When you go into the silence, do you always feel you should make affirmations about God?

Answer: No; it depends upon where you are in consciousness. When you attempt to enter the silence, if you do not immediately touch God consciousness, then it is wise to realize God as life, God as love, and so on; and then settle down into the attitude of listening. This applies to my own meditations. Sometimes when I go into meditation, I am immediately in this consciousness, and nothing is necessary in the way of statements of truth. Sometimes, when I am called upon for healing work, I cannot get the sense of oneness for some reason or other, and I must sit for as much as an hour, or two, or three, before achieving that sense of conscious oneness. Do not let anyone, ever, put you into a routine. If you do not feel your oneness, be willing to work until you reach it. If you do feel your oneness, you can stop in that second." ~Joel S Goldsmith

Psalms 91:1 KJV
1 He that dwelleth in the secret place of the most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty.

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.

Psalms 46:10 (to :) KJV

"Therefore, all the good, unto the end of the world, is flowing in and through and as you and me at this very moment. No power from without can enter 'to defile or make a lie.' Nothing can enter my consciousness and take over. Why? It is God. God is my consciousness, and how could anything enter Infinity? Is there anything outside of Infinity? Let this truth reveal itself from the Father within, and you will find harmony and peace. You will find evolution, and you will find reincarnation. You will find a new body being incarnated for you, a new state of consciousness being developed for you. You will really be able to say, 'I am not the same this year as I was last year. I have died to mortal beliefs. I have been reborn of the Spirit.'" ~Joel S Goldsmith

4 And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away.

"Everything that comes to you must come from within your own being, or else the Master was entirely wrong when he said: 'The kingdom of God is within you.'

Then, when did error begin in your experience? It never did begin! You have merely accepted universal beliefs, and that is the only error there is.

"The harmony of your being emanates from your own consciousness. There is no use going back and blaming your father or your mother. There is nothing wrong with your body that has ever been inherited.

13 They on the rock are they, which, when they hear, receive the word with joy; and these have no root, which for a while believe, and in time of temptation fall away.
14 And that which fell among thorns are they, which, when they have heard, go forth, and are choked with cares and riches and pleasures of this life, and bring no fruit to perfection.

Faith is divine. When people have a faith that has come to them from the outer world, it is not really faith; it is a blind belief. Faith is of God. Faith is understanding. You have faith that 2x2 are 4, and it does not change. That faith is based on your understanding of the laws of mathematics." ~Joel S Goldsmith

I Corinthians 2:13-14 KJV
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.

John 1:1-4 KJV
1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
2 The same was in the beginning with God.
3 All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made.
4 In him was life; and the life was the light of men.

Romans 10:17 KJV
17 So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.

A conviction of Faith comes by Knowing. Knowing comes Seeing. Seeing comes by practice and focus. I Am with you. ~Al Denninger

"The responsibility of the patient is receptivity. In so far as possible he must be willing to give up his material sense of existence to accept the spiritual. He must not merely be willing to have a heart that was diagnosed as imperfect made perfect, but also be willing to turn to the spiritual sense of living, at least to desire the spiritual life. If he is unwilling to give up his mortal sense of existence, if he wants to cling to that and to look upon the practitioner as an aspirin with which to ease the pain, the practitioner may fail, and the patient may fail. The Master taught that if they did not believe you or accept you, you should leave them." ~Joel S Goldsmith

Mark 4:9 KJV
9 And he said unto them, He that hath ears to hear, let him hear.

I Corinthians 2:13,14 KJV
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.

Luke 9:1-6 KJV
1 Then he called his twelve disciples together, and gave them power and authority over all devils, and to cure diseases.
2 And he sent them to preach the kingdom of God, and to heal the sick.
3 And he said unto them, Take nothing for your journey, neither staves, nor scrip, neither bread, neither money; neither have two coats apiece.
4 And whatsoever house ye enter into, there abide, and thence depart.
5 And whosoever will not receive you, when ye go out of that city, shake off the very dust from your feet for a testimony against them.
6 And they departed, and went through the towns, preaching the gospel, and healing every where.

Humans tend to be very receptive as little children, but as we grow up we are taught by the wisdoms of this-world to be independent and think for ourselves-success comes to those that work hard. We learn that this-world supposedly has solutions for our little appearances that pop up, but those solutions rarely work completely and permanently.

God has no awareness of those problems because He is "too Pure to behold iniquity". When we eventually come around to seeking God, we have been conditioned to not know where to look. We essentially need to unlearn the whole this-world consciousness. We can become so blind to the Truth that we can even ignorantly turn away one of Jesus' disciples. If we have become unreceptive there is nothing the disciple can do to help you. He must move on, teach and heal the ones that are receptive and be patient until we become receptive. Open up an attitude of Awareness. ~Al Denninger

"The moment a person asks you for help and you look at his human condition, you are agreeing that there is a disease or a sinner. Then, after having accepted the appearance as a fact, you attempt to cure it through mind. The real treatment is: 'My kingdom is not of this world.' Since my kingdom, my spiritual kingdom, is not of the mortal, material world, I am not here to reform or heal a mortal. I must look away from mortality and behold the spiritual man. In that sense, then, it is my responsibility as a practitioner not to accept the evidence of the senses, even when that evidence testifies to a sick or dying mortal. That is my sole responsibility." ~Joel S Goldsmith

John 18:36 KJV
36 Jesus answered, My kingdom is not of this world: if my kingdom were of this world, then would my servants fight, that I should not be delivered to the Jews: but now is my kingdom not from hence.

Joel's whole point here is summed up in one word - reaction. It takes a lot of Practice and Trust to not react to appearances and See the Truth instead. Christians rarely get this point from the following Bible Story and look at other parts of the story, but to me it is a major part of this lesson - to not react: ~Al Denninger

John 8:1-11 KJV
1 Jesus went unto the mount of Olives.
2 And early in the morning he came again into the temple, and all the people came unto him; and he sat down, and taught them.
3 And the scribes and Pharisees brought unto him a woman taken in adultery; and when they had set her in the midst,
4 They say unto him, Master, this woman was taken in adultery, in the very act.
5 Now Moses in the law commanded us, that such should be stoned: but what sayest thou?
6 This they said, tempting him, that they might have to accuse him. But Jesus stooped down, and with his finger wrote on the ground, as though he heard them not.
7 So when they continued asking him, he lifted up himself, and said unto them, He that is without sin among you, let him first cast a stone at her.
8 And again he stooped down, and wrote on the ground.
9 And they which heard it, being convicted by their own conscience, went out one by one, beginning at the eldest, even unto the last: and Jesus was left alone, and the woman standing in the midst.
10 When Jesus had lifted up himself, and saw none but the woman, he said unto her, Woman, where are those thine accusers? hath no man condemned thee?
11 She said, No man, Lord. And Jesus said unto her, Neither do I condemn thee: go, and sin no more.

Twice during the hateful noise of the surrounding crowd, Jesus refused to react and let the noise wear itself out to the nothingness it really was. Dear Practitioners, go and do likewise. ~Al Denninger

"When I say that the practitioner should accept the responsibility, I mean it in this way: If an individual asks for help, what is my responsibility? Is it to see a human being who needs health or reformation, or is it not rather to turn away from that picture and say, 'No, God is the only reality of being' thereby refusing to do battle with the material condition, or to attempt to heal it?" ~Joel S Goldsmith

I Corinthians 8:6 KJV
6 But to us there is but one God, the Father, of whom are all things, and we in him; and one Lord Jesus Christ, by whom are all things, and we by him.

John 1:3,4 KJV
3 All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made.
4 In him was life; and the life was the light of men.

II Chronicles 20:17 (to 3rd ,)
17 Ye shall not need to fight in this battle: set yourselves, stand ye still, and see the salvation of the Lord with you,

There is nothing other than the Omnipresence of God. Is there something to correct in His Kingdom? Stand ye still, set yourselves, and Live. Your inheritance awaits its proper recognition. Rejoice and be grateful, all that the Father has is yours. ~Al Denninger

"Question: Should a practitioner assume responsibility for a case?

Answer: Our attitude should be the same with a human being as it would be with a dog, a cat, or a crop. The truth we know should be outwardly manifested in healing, whatever the condition may be. However, just because we accept the responsibility does not mean that we shall always be able to bring out the healing. A human being differs from plants, crops, or animals because a human being has the freedom of choice to determine his own destiny. Persistence in gross materiality may for a while cheat a person of the spiritual unfoldment of health or wealth. Those who do not lend themselves to the spiritual life, or who insist on clinging to the material sense of existence, may not always respond to spiritual healing. Why? Because if a patient is so far away from Soul as to be immersed in the senses, he may block the work of the practitioner." ~Joel S Goldsmith

John 6:63 (to :) KJV
63 It is the spirit that quickeneth; the flesh profiteth nothing:

John 4:23,24 KJV
23 But the hour cometh, and now is, when the true worshippers shall worship the Father in spirit and in truth: for the Father seeketh such to worship him.
24 God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth.

I Corinthians 2:12-14 KJV
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.

I Corinthians 6:17 KJV
17 But he that is joined unto the Lord is one spirit.

It is important that the patient ask for help in their Heart. It does not have to be communicated in this-world. It is a step in their surrender, trust and to an Open and receptive Consciousness. The patient's Knowing about Spiritual Discernment is unimportant, that is the practitioner's job-to See them As they Truly Are, no matter what they say-Thy Kingdom IS and Let By Your Way, Your Will, Your Infinite Way. This Truth will be Seen or Felt, Spirit to Spirit, Soul to Soul. Forgive the patient's thinking that they seem somehow separated and apart from God. (And forgive your own this-world's thoughts too if you did.) The Truth must be Known… It is Already Done. ~Al Denninger

"If parts of the Lord's Prayer-or all of it-have meaning for you, it does not matter whether or not it was a part of Jesus' actual words. Whatever is true, is true regardless of its source. We can get good wherever we find it. Personally, I find much wisdom in that particular passage: 'Forgive us our debts as we forgive our debtors.'" ~Joel S Goldsmith

Luke 23:33,34 (to .) KJV
33 And when they were come to the place, which is called Calvary, there they crucified him, and the malefactors, one on the right hand, and the other on the left.
34 Then said Jesus, Father, forgive them; for they know not what they do.

Matthew 22:37-40 KJV
37 Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind.
38 This is the first and great commandment.
39 And the second is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.
40 On these two commandments hang all the law and the prophets.

Psalms 23:6 KJV
6 Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: and I will dwell in the house of the Lord for ever.

So much of Jesus' message, and the Bible for the matter, is about forgiveness. Here are a just a few: the woman taken in adultery, teaching to forgive 70 times seven, "though your sins are like scarlet, they shall be as white as snow", and his last words were to forgive the very people that cruelly and brutally crucified him. It is truly the most important lesson: to forgive, to give mercy, and to Love-for God is Love. We should strive to Love Him, and one another, as He Loves us-Unconditionally. And so, If we Dwell in Him it is already done. ~Al Denninger

Question: Will you discuss the Lord's Prayer?

Answer: There is some disagreement in the church world and among religious scholars as to the authenticity of the Lord's Prayer. Some scholars do not believe that Jesus ever gave the Lord's Prayer to the world, while others believe that he did. The main reason for this doubt is that the Lord's Prayer is not in keeping, apparently, with the Master's teaching. The Master did not teach that it would do us any good to ask God for any such thing as daily bread. He taught: 'Your Father knoweth what things ye have need of, before ye ask him . . . [and it is his] good pleasure to give you the kingdom.' One Bible authority claims that when the translators came to that part of the New Testament where the disciple said: 'Teach us to pray,' the Master did not reply. Scholars believe that something was lost, and then when they found the page on which what is called the Lord's Prayer was written, they inserted it in that place. Regardless of whether or not the Master did give us the Lord's Prayer, do not forget that in it there are laws just as there are in all of his teachings. In other places as well as in the Lord's Prayer, he taught the law of forgiveness, and through that law, we 'forgive our debtors,' for in proportion as we are able to 'loose him, and let him go,' does our own consciousness become free. ~Joel S Goldsmith

Scholars can have opinions and often repeat opinions - that are not necessarily the Truth… You will Know the Truth when You Hear it Within. When trying understand Scripture and what it means for you, do what I do ask God what it means. Stay with it - you will Hear. ~Al Denninger

Here is a wonderful translation by a current Student of the Aramaic language. I think this will Open some Eyes to See:

The Lord's Prayer - Aramaic directly from the Ancient Aramaic
By Roy Gessford

Our Source, Let Be Thy Holy Name.
Let Your Kingdom Come. (Come, In The Present Tense - like Thy Kingdom IS.)
Let By Your Way, Your Will.
May We Have Our Needs Daily.
Forgive Us Our Debts, as We Forgive Our Mistakes.
Let Us Not Enter Into Temptation.
(And the line- "For thine is the Kingdom, and the Power and the Glory." was not there in Aramaic, but likely would have been said by the people as a response, like saying Amen. So it was likely there, just not written down… It is present in many other places in Aramaic at the end of Prayers.)

'It is all a question of at-one-ment. That is the reason I reiterate again and again: Please never undertake anything without going within and feeling that at-one-ment, which says to you, 'Don't be afraid, fellow. I am here.' Then go out, and do anything you have to do. It is there, and It is with you. The more you realize your at-one-ment with God, the more health, harmony, success, and prosperity you will experience. This at-one-ment will not make you eccentric. You will continue to enjoy life much like anyone else-movies, good books, good music, good food, and good friends. But you will acknowledge that it is your conscious oneness with God that brings out your health, harmony, and prosperity. I never give a treatment in the commonly accepted sense of the world. My only treatment is a conscious oneness with God. If someone calls and says, 'I have a problem of unemployment or health or something else,' my treatment is conscious oneness with God. Nothing less than conscious oneness with God will do it." ~Joel S Goldsmith

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

Hebrews 13:5 I KJV
5 …I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee.

Romans 8:9 (to .) KJV
9 But ye are not in the flesh, but in the Spirit, if so be that the Spirit of God dwell in you.

Our normal state of Consciousness is At-One with God. But we can drift off into a false sense of thought that distracts human consciousness, and we feel like we are on our own. Stop. Refocus and return to Dwelling in Spirit-thereby Knowing our Perfect place and Peace. All is Well. ~Al Denninger

"Question: Will you discuss meditation?

Answer: When you turn within in meditation, you may not always receive the answer immediately. As a matter of fact, there may not be any answer for you to receive at that moment, but the answer will be there later, to meet any situation that arises during the day. When I meditate in the morning, nothing in particular may come to me, even though I always do feel a sense of the Presence. But an hour, or eight hours later, when someone telephones or writes, the answer is there. My constant meditation keeps me consciously one with God, at-one with the Infinite. It keeps me constantly at the point where, whatever I need, comes forth. I do not have to meditate every time a call for help comes to me because I have been meditating twenty hours out of the twenty-four. It is like keeping a line open on the switchboard. No matter who calls, the line is open." ~Joel S Goldsmith

Matthew 6:6 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.

17 And the Spirit and the bride say, Come. And let him that heareth say, Come. And let him that is athirst come. And whosoever will, let him take the water of life freely.

"Can you drop that fear, hate, or love overnight? No, you must go through the process of being reborn, and that requires patience, stick-to-it-iveness. You may have to stand fast in the face of the very opposite appearance. It may be in the face of a very, very persistent appearance. And so you will have to stand again and again and again and say, 'I am being reborn of the Spirit. I am being renewed. I am no longer going to fear, hate, or love that which is outside of me. I am going to stand on the truth that knows that consciousness is the law unto that which is outside.' It takes patience." ~Joel S Goldsmith

"What we are doing is not creating miracles: We are renewing consciousness. We are dying daily. We are being reborn of the Spirit, and this rebirth comes only with patience. All these things which I have said to you are truth, but you will demonstrate them if, and as, they become an integral part of your consciousness. The healing consciousness of the practitioner is a state of consciousness that has lost its fear or hate or love of error. That is all there is to the Christ consciousness, which is your individual consciousness when you no longer fear, hate, or love error of any name or nature." ~Joel S Goldsmith

"I say to everyone who undertakes this work: Your consciousness must be renewed. You have been brought up in the belief that that which is out here in the world is reality, and now you are being told that your consciousness is reality. Do you think you can catch the full implication of that truth overnight? You might do so, intellectually, but sooner or later, someone is going to knock at the door and ask you to pay a bill that you cannot pay or remind you that you have a headache. And then, you will have to begin living this truth." ~Joel S Goldsmith

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.

II Corinthians 4:16 KJV
16 For which cause we faint not; but though our outward man perish, yet the inward man is renewed day by day.

Luke 9:12-17 KJV
12 And when the day began to wear away, then came the twelve, and said unto him, Send the multitude away, that they may go into the towns and country round about, and lodge, and get victuals: for we are here in a desert place.
13 But he said unto them, Give ye them to eat. And they said, We have no more but five loaves and two fishes; except we should go and buy meat for all this people.
14 For they were about five thousand men. And he said to his disciples, Make them sit down by fifties in a company.
15 And they did so, and made them all sit down.
16 Then he took the five loaves and the two fishes, and looking up to heaven, he blessed them, and brake, and gave to the disciples to set before the multitude.
17 And they did eat, and were all filled: and there was taken up of fragments that remained to them twelve baskets.

Under the appearance presented, human consciousness had no good idea how to feed the 5000, but the Master Christ Jesus, Looking Up to Heaven, Knew the Principal of Supply, and He immediately Blessed the food he had and distributed it to all that were present with an abundance left over.

"We are likely to become impatient for results, and to feel that if we get a treatment today, we should be in heaven tomorrow. Probably, when we have attained the consciousness of the Christ all demonstrations will be instantaneous. Jesus said: 'Say not ye, There yet are four months, and then cometh harvest? behold, I say unto you, Lift up your eyes, and look on the fields; for they are white already to harvest' But do not forget, either, that three years passed before Jesus could finally say: 'He that hath seen me hath seen the Father.' We know that when he was twelve years old, he had already caught the inner lights yet he did not begin his ministry until he was thirty years of age. So even Jesus had his periods of waiting, and days, months, and years, when patience was required." ~Joel S Goldsmith

Waiting
Serene, I fold my hands and wait, Nor care for wind, nor tide, nor sea; I rave no more 'gainst time or fate, For lo! my own shall come to me.
I stay my haste, I make delays, For what avails this eager pace? I stand amid the eternal ways, And what is mine shall know my face.
Asleep, awake, by night or day, The friends I seek are seeking me; No wind can drive my bark astray, Nor change the tide of destiny.
What matter if I stand alone? I wait with joy the coming years; My heart shall reap where it hath sown, And garner up its fruit of tears.
The waters know their own and draw The brook that springs in yonder height; So flows the good with equal law Unto the soul of pure delight.
The stars come nightly to the sky; The tidal wave unto the sea; Nor time, nor space, nor deep, nor high, Can keep my own away from me.

"CHAPTER TWELVE
QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS

Question: What is the role of patience in demonstration?

Answer: If we really turn back into consciousness and feel that 'click,' then health and harmony will appear. But the demonstration of spiritual life may not come all at once and it may not manifest itself immediately. I am reminded of the experience of Saul of Tarsus. After years of study, the Christ came to Saul in a blinding flash. We might think that, at that moment, he would have been entirely renewed. Yet, it was another nine years before he began to go about preaching. He spent nine years living in Arabia, letting the light which had come in that blinding flash reveal and unfold itself. We, too, might have a flash of light, perhaps on the subject of supply, and from that moment on, there might be an increase, day after day, and week after week-just enough of an increase to keep us ahead. If you consider this in terms of time, it might seem as though quite a long period elapses before the whole picture of supply reveals itself, or develops itself. It was in 1932 that I caught the vision that God is the only creative principle and that all these other ideas about wrong thinking and sin, had nothing to do with healing or supply. But it was not until 1946 that I published a book or went out to teach this truth. There were years and years of patience required while this new consciousness was forming and renewing itself." ~Joel S Goldsmith

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

Psalms 37:7 (to :) & 9 but KJV
7 Rest in the Lord, and wait patiently for him:
9 …but those that wait upon the Lord, they shall inherit the earth.

Psalms 62:5-8 KJV
5 My soul, wait thou only upon God; for my expectation is from him.
6 He only is my rock and my salvation: he is my defence; I shall not be moved.
7 In God is my salvation and my glory: the rock of my strength, and my refuge, is in God.
8 Trust in him at all times; ye people, pour out your heart before him: God is a refuge for us. Selah.

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.

Matthew 4:4 KJV
4 But he answered and said, It is written, Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God.

There is no demonstration without The Word of God-Received and followed. It must be Heard Spirit to Spirit and followed to the exactly as it was Given. It takes time to develop an Avenue of Awareness or a Listening Attitude. Rest back and practice. Practice, Practice, Practice… Meditate with or without a mentor or teacher. Watch and pray. Just like we are planting seeds in our garden now for harvest later-but we must do the work to plant the seeds and then nurture them until they mature into the beautiful fruits and vegetables we love so much. Pray before you undertake any new steps. Seek ye first the Kingdom of God. ~Al Denninger
