		<description>Dear Dawn,
I've been traveling for a week and came back to this new batch
of emails. Am delighted you've found us too.  We're a brand new
"family"...only a couple of weeks really, where we've begun to write
more often.  So don't feel shy or intimidated to share here. What
are you reading/studying now?  Where do you live? I'm in Ohio.
I've read about half of the books, but feel like I have a tiny
understanding of their deeper meanings...but always feel touched by
even a sentence of Joel's  message.
    I feel that these teachings are like a spiral path up into higher
consciousness....and if I keep putting one foot in front of the other,
I may eventually get to a higher level of understanding.  
    Awkwardly said, but I think you can tell that EVERYONE who
comes here deeply loves the teachings and shift of consciousness
they provide.
    You are MOST welcome...as is Jasha and the others.  
     Linda</description>

Thank you Oneasis...staying in the consciousness is the real deal and your post is the reminder of just that despite human appearances (or reprimands).  :)</description>

		<description>From Infinite Way Letters January, 1957 

It is not enough to feel the presence of God only once in the course of the day: You must carry the consciousness of the Spirit with you throughout the day. If you stop at frequent intervals to bring God to your conscious remembrance, it becomes a continuing awareness. It is in the silence and in that inner peace that the Spirit of God moves. But this peace is not something that comes to you of its own accord; you bring it about by your moments of silence. One minute, even thirty seconds, is enough if you pause many times a day to remind yourself: "God's life is my life"; or "God's law is the law unto my being"; or "God's wisdom is infinite." Any one of these reminders will be sufficient to re-establish you in the Spirit.


If you should encounter a law of infection or contagion or meet with any suggestion of discord, stop, even in the midst of the turmoil, to realize: "No, God's law is infinite; God's power is infinite; God's understanding is infinite"; or "God's presence is infinite and ever with me." Whatever the situation that presents itself to you may be, turn from it in the remembrance of God's presence and power. The assurance may come in a reminder of God's grace forever flowing freely to us:
&lt;em&gt;Thy grace is sufficient for me. I have thought that I had to labour, to struggle, and to plan for my future; but now 1 need no longer worry, plan, or take anxious thought. There is a divine grace at hand that provides a sufficiency of all things. Thy grace is sufficient for me. God's wisdom is sufficient for me, and in that all-sufficiency, I can never lack wisdom and guidance. God's wisdom fills me; God's love fills me; God's presence is sufficient for me.&lt;/em&gt;
&lt;em&gt;Through grace, my heavenly Father feeds me—feeds me spiritually, clothes me spiritually, maintains and sustains me spiritually. Forever more, this grace of God will interpret itself to me in the forms, and as the forms, necessary to maintain and sustain me in abundance, in joy, and in gladness. My expectancy is of God. Thy grace, Thy gifts, Thy good, Thy love, Thy mercy, and Thy justice are my sufficiency; and, therefore, I do not look to man for any good thing.&lt;/em&gt;
&lt;em&gt;God's grace is filling this space; God's grace is filling these hands; God's grace is filling this body with health and joy and peace and power and dominion and all good. God's grace is filling every moment with the divine Presence, which is love and life eternal. Whatever demand is made upon me is fulfilled through the grace of God and not because of my physical strength, nor because of any storehouses or barns I may possess, nor even by virtue of my own wisdom or understanding. Through grace, I am given everything necessary to fulfill every demand made upon me.
&lt;/em&gt;

Grace is a continual realization of God as the source of all good. It does not look to man for anything; it looks to God alone and then lovingly accepts the good as it comes through those individuals chosen for the purpose. You will find that as you continue in this meditation on God's grace for three months, four months, five months, or six months, meeting every appearance of discord with that remembrance of God's grace as your sufficiency, you begin to feel God's grace coming into expression in your experience : Good comes to you that you had not humanly expected; a sense of well-being fills you with a joy that you had not humanly expected; a sense of well-being fills you with a joy that no man can take from you; and then you know that God's grace is sufficient for you.


It is essential that you become established in the Spirit every day, before you undertake the work of that day, whether in your household or in the business world. It is only then that you are insulated from the world, only then that you have overcome the world and can move in and out of it, unaffected by its changes. Learn to wait every morning in the darkness of silent receptivity until you feel the Spirit within you, until you feel this calm descend upon you, this peace embracing you with an invisible Robe that hides you from the world—the fears, hates, and jealousies of the world. Then, in these moments of silent meditation, you discover that your light is come and "the glory of the Lord is risen upon thee."   .... Namaste`</description>

		<description>I just ran across the message board this morning during one of my frequent Googling sessions for anything Joel Goldsmith/Infinite Way. I've been studying/practicing meditation and the teachings for about three and a half years now, after being abrubtly jolted out of 24 years of fervent seeking and walking in many paths of orthodox Christianity. All that has been said by Oneasis, Linda, and Rose makes me recognize a kindred spirit. Looking forward to more contact. This is the first message board I've ever posted on- Please be patient with me.  
Thank you, Dawn</description>

		<description>  I owe my understanding to working with the principles of
the Infinite Way, the Holy Bible, and direct insight from
spirit guides.
   And perhaps most of all, the hard knocks of life.
Thank you Rose.</description>
