Customer Reviews

This book is Spiritual Caviar

If you are blessed to have found Goldsmith, (its a soulmaturity thing), and have enough background in him to beready for his best work...then read this. You can see theechoes of his other books in many pages, but whereas some of the earlier ones took 8 pages to say it, now it is toldin 8 pithy words...brilliant, aha concepts jump off thepage and directly into your heart. If I could only have one spiritual book on my shelf, thiswould be it.

Absolutely Sublime

I have been a Goldsmith fan for approxiamately a year and I can most definitely say that out of the books I've read so far...this is one of his "better" ones. Each chapter brings a deeper level of understanding for Metaphysical aficionados and Truth students. This book will definitely increase one's sense of peace,inner-knowing, and joy. It is a must read for those seeking to improve the quality of their lives and it is priceless!

It is Joel at his most developed level as spiritual teacher

Joel tackles many of his favorite subjects here, including the illusion of what we seem to experience between cradle & grave, (the parenthesis) the allness of consciousness, the understanding of the I Am, and most importantly the differences between the spiritual and the mental. He again works his recurring theme of realization through meditation that "the father and I are one." This one should be read after The Infinite Way, Thunder of Silence, Practicing the Presence, Art of Meditation, and perhaps some of his other books

The Summit of All Infinite Way Books

This volume represents the apex of Joel Goldsmith's teachings and writings. Here one discovers the ultimate statement about an individual's human life: a brief "parenthesis" in the circle of eternity. A MUST reading for every Infinite Way student, by which the student can guage his/her undertanding of the mystical life.

Joel Goldsmith's Spiritual Autobiography

All students should read this book. Mr. Goldsmith considered this book his autobiography. The text comes from taped lectures Joel Goldsmith gave around the world, now available through the Infinite Way office in Perris, California. Particularly helpful are the chapters on the stages of spiritual development in the middle of the book. Be sure to read them. Visit the Infinite Way web site and find more resources for your study.
