If you persist in going on in a materialistic frame of consciousness accepting two powers, always battling evil and most of the time observing that evil gets the better of good, that is the kind of universe in which you will live. Most of the time your experience will be on the negative side with some brief interludes of good.
If, through the power of discernment, however, you can mold your consciousness to accept the truth that God, your individual consciousness, is infinite, and besides it there are no other powers, life will unfold gloriously and abundantly.
All that is necessary is inwardly to develop a listening ear and be governed by the Father that is within you, not a Father up in the sky, even though the Master sometimes referred to God as in heaven—at least the Bible said he did. You must remember that there were no tape recorders in his day. Not only that, there was no system of shorthand and probably none of his disciples could read or write. No word of the Master was written until thirty years after the Crucifixion, and I am sure that you do not believe that Jesus could be quoted verbatim after thirty years. True he may have lapsed into the idiom of his day and said, “Your Father in heaven.” That does not mean a Father up in the sky, but the Father in consciousness. The essence of his teaching was: “The Father that dwelleth in me, he doeth the works.. . . Neither shall they say, Lo here! or, Lo there! for, behold, the kingdom of God is within you.”
If you can mold your consciousness to accept the truth that the kingdom of God is within you and then rest back and let this kingdom of God govern your life—not being indolent, but always alert, inwardly listening for the “still small voice”—you will find yourself guided, led, advised, counseled, protected, maintained, and sustained by the power that is within you. You will quickly perceive, however, that It does not go out fighting other powers. Rather, It reveals to you that I Am is the power of resurrection. There is no other power; there are no powers to fight. I Am the all-power, the kingdom of all-power within you.
Making your transition from a life lived according to appearances to a life lived according to spiritual discernment is entirely a matter of remolding consciousness, letting old beliefs die, so that truth can be born in you. You will then find that you are the same consciousness you always have been, only now you are not governed by ignorance, mythology, and superstition; now you are governed by an inner voice, direction, counsel, an inner presence, an inner power. You do not send It out to overcome the world. You have overcome the world the moment your consciousness no longer fears appearances. You have overcome the entire world in that moment when you no longer fear or hate appearances.

Joel Goldsmith: IW Morsel – God’s Work Is Done
God’s work is done, finished and complete, but it is unfolding to our conscious awareness in proportion as we learn the truth and how to bring ourselves into harmony with that truth.

Study & Meditation #3
– 1962 Pacific Palisades Special Class (II:2)

Nothing enters your experience except through your consciousness. Whatever it is that you are to experience in your life you must experience through your own consciousness. There is no outside God and there is no outside devil. There are no outside laws. Whatever it is that is operating in you is operating through and in your own consciousness.

There is one of two things. You either have a consciousness of Truth or a consciousness of ignorance of Truth. If you are ignorant of Truth, you are not made free. If you know the Truth, the Truth will make you free.

Therefore, it is knowing or Consciousness. You must consciously know the Truth, not sit around waiting for some mysterious God to do something for you because you are charitable or kind or moral. It won’t work. It is your abiding in the Truth. Your abiding in the Word and letting the Word abide in you. Your abiding in God and letting God abide in you. You are the one who is doing it!

Through the contemplative life, you can come to a whole new state of consciousness in which – while you are still aware that there are evils in the world – no longer do you sit in judgment on them or condemn them, no longer do you misunderstand them. Now, you have compassion; because, you understand why they are taking place. Furthermore, you know that they must continue to take place in each person’s experience until he is awakened.

When an individual is awakened to the fact that life is indestructible, immortal, and eternal, he cannot fear death. And, once he no longer fears death, he cannot know death. No one can experience anything that is not a part of his consciousness. And, when death is no longer part of his consciousness, he cannot die.

The Infinite Way,
The ContemplativeLife
Page 126

“As you approach work in The Infinite Way, do not start out with any idea of first trying to be more spiritual or trying to be more honest or trying to be more moral or trying to be better in any way, because we’re really not interested in self-improvement, and we’re not interested at all in human improvement or human betterment. Our work is not dedicated to making bad humans good or necessarily merely making sick humans well or unhappy humans happy.

The message of The Infinite Way is completely dedicated to admitting that presence of God, that Christ, into consciousness and letting It transform our lives from the material sense to the spiritual, not merely from the bad human sense to the good human sense. Our interest is not in that direction. Our interest is in surrendering the whole of the material sense, even when it’s good, and receiving in exchange our divine Sonship.”
