The Master Speaks is a non-denominational book that will appeal to anyone interested in spiritual healing. It is based on the teachings of Jesus about the principles of spiritual living and spiritual healing, and can serve as a basic text for those interested in Christian mysticism.Throughout the book, Goldsmith beautifully weaves together Bible references and the spiritual principles that form the Infinite Way message. He takes the reader through a detailed course of instruction around three major steps: attaining the conscious awareness of the presence of God; learning meditation, reflection, and introspection; and learning the nature of error. He says, Unless our thought responds instantly to the fact that God is the only life, that God is all there is to individual being; and unless in our heart and Soul we truly believe that, we cannot be spiritual healers.The secret to spiritual healing, Goldsmith says, is knowing the true identity of every individual, and this comes through spiritual discernment. A spiritual healer does not deal with the mortal picture and try to change it. We go right to the center of being, and there recognize Christ, the Spirit, the presence and power of God, he says. As we do that, we do not heal human beings; we do not enrich them, although that is the way in which it appears to the world. What we do is to bring to light their spiritual identity that which has always been there, but which has seemed to have disappeared. But Goldsmith is careful to emphasize: It is not understanding truth that heals: it is the divine state of spiritual consciousness that heals; and the one who has that state of consciousness is a practitioner.In The Master Speaks, Goldsmith also lays out the differences between traditional metaphysics and The Infinite Way message, and he gives extensive practical advice on many aspects of the healing ministry for those who find themselves led to it. He offers the idea astonishing to some that Everyone on earth has, potentially, the same consciousness as Jesus Christ. The question is: are we willing to put in the hours of devotion; are we willing to make the effort required to train ourselves to be conscious of the presence of God, instead of seeking some form in which God is to appear? There is the whole secret. It is up to us! If we can rely wholly on the Principle, on Consciousness, we can attain the consciousness of the Christ. For those who are drawn to that quest, The Master Speaks is an ideal first step on the journey.

I STAND ON HOLY GROUND, the sixth book in an eleven volume series, is compiled from the 1976 monthly "Letters of Joel S. Goldsmith". Picking up where the fifth volume, "A Message for the Ages", left off, this book takes up what it means to live by spiritual principles. Goldsmith says over and over again that nothing takes place outside of consciousness. "That which I am seeking I am". But he reminds his readers that to experience this as a way of life you must first develop your consciousness.The degree to which you develop your consciousness will determine your outward life, the life of the body, the life of the purse and the life you experience in your community and family." Among topics covered in this book about developing spiritual consciousness are: practising the Presence, meditation as the door to fulfilment, spiritual supply and living by grace and self-purification. This is a volume of great depth which is at the same time a practical guide about attaining spiritual freedom and the realisation of oneness.

"Joel Goldsmith''s inspired and profoundly inspiring books represent a vital contribution to the spiritual awakening of humanity." ECKHART TOLLE   "I have an 8x10 picture of Joel Goldsmith on my writing table. I feel his presence with me everyday . . . I consider Joel to be one of my most important teachers. His wisdom guides me in all of my work."           WAYNE DYER, Author of The Power of Intention  As people grow and change, so grows their love. Not just in physical terms, but in spiritual and emotional terms as well. This can be a painful transition that yearns for a foundation to rest upon whether basking in love''s glow or wallowing through the lonely times of solitude and isolation. Regardless of where one may be at any moment, the reality is that love is there with the potential to elevate any soul to the highest level of happiness. Joel S. Goldsmith recognised this potential and in THE GIFT OF LOVE he shares his intimate views on love, Christ and the eternal challenge faced by anyone seeking to transcend the material world and resonate in the peacefulness of love. THE GIFT OF LOVE is a very special selection of enlightening meditations by Joel S. Goldsmith on the spiritual nature, meaning and possibilities of love. This beautiful volume insightfully presents the power that love holds out to each of us to transform ourselves and our world.
